Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 783 The Orphanage

The road is blocked by heavy snow, and I will not be able to go for a while, so I can only live in Jiang County.After thinking for a long time, Wang Xiaolie called the magistrate over and said, "Two days ago, the heavy snow crushed the shed, and many people died. Some of them were elders who were crushed to death, and their lives were lost. I have thought about this for a long time. , or managed by the government. The government will provide money and food to support these people, so that these people will not suffer from cold and starvation. For these people raised by the government, the government can plan for their future and provide support for the government’s plan.”

The county magistrate hesitated.Said: "If the government does not raise it well, it will lose its benevolence. If it is raised too well, I am afraid that the people will deliberately throw it as a baby."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "That's right, this is a dilemma. So we can only raise it as good as it is, and don't exceed it--that's wrong, in fact, it should not exceed some percent of the people. I think, in the early days According to 30.00%, that is to say, the conditions of these children should not exceed [-]% of the common people."

The county magistrate said: "Then 30.00% of the people will abandon their babies—"

Wang Xiaolie waved his hand: "County magistrate, you didn't decide things like this. Ordinary people, who would be willing to abandon their children? Even if they are poor, as long as they have a breath, they should keep their children by their side. And those who abandon their children, And I won’t raise it by myself just because it’s better for me to raise it by my side. How can I guess right here? I have to try and change bit by bit.”

The county magistrate cupped his hands and said, "Xuan Fu said so."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Let's start with Jiang County. From next month, the higher authorities will allocate funds for this matter. This month, you can estimate the cost, about how much it costs to raise one child, and about how much it costs to raise ten children. .”

The magistrate said yes.

Wang Xiaolie hesitated for a moment, and said: "The words must be put first. Doing things is doing things, don't be selfish, don't be greedy for money. If not, once found out, you will be severely punished. Don't think that you can't find out, you must I will find out. I think you are honest and don't hurt yourself. "

The county magistrate listened and said yes awe-inspiringly.

Wang Xiaolie waved his hand and told the county magistrate to go out.

Looking at the back of the county magistrate leaving, Wang Xiaolie sighed.

Over the years, officials from all over the country took office in a hurry, and the scrutiny was lax.This leads to all kinds of people.For example, the county magistrate of Jiangxian County is generally loyal to the country and does things for the court wholeheartedly.But there are also some county magistrates who are extremely cunning, and they usually eat and get cards, and there are endless ways to violate the law.

At this time, officials from all over the country took office in a hurry, and generally speaking, they did not develop local influence.From the first half of this year, Wang Xiaolie organized a patrol team to investigate each county one by one.All corrupt officials who break the law will be given light warnings and severe dismissals.Officials elected were originally Jinshi, and if there were not enough Jinshi to elect candidates, and if there were not enough Juren, ordinary scholars were elected.In some places, there are really no scholars, so they are transferred from other places.

The official environment is very important.On the one hand, the salaries of officials must be sufficient, on the other hand, the requirements must be high, and Sanyi must strictly implement the avoidance law.What is not avoided now is generally the recently occupied states and counties.Over time, officials will definitely change.

Wang Xiaolie didn't want it. Many years later, when a new official took office, the old official told him that being an official was just flattering and deceiving others.He hoped that the officialdom should be simpler.What kind of official do you get as much salary as you do, and you live on your salary.We don't want officials to be superior to others within the scope of their powers and responsibilities, and they can do whatever they want.I don't want capable people to sink to the bottom, while the cowardly and incompetent occupy high positions.Once such an environment is formed, it is difficult to change.

Some people always say that you have to believe that human nature is like this, and officialdom is like this.In fact, being an official is changing human nature. Why do people have so many requirements to believe in human nature?The most important thing is to see what kind of person the superior is, and whether the investigation is strict.

This degree is not easy to handle.If you are strict with yourself, and thus stricter with your subordinates, you will be said to be inhumane.Even if you dare not say it to your face, you will definitely say it behind your back.Of course, it is not wrong to say that this is inherently inhumane.If you control yourself loosely, you want to take more and more of everything, and the people below will think why you can do it and I can't?Everyone thinks this way, and the discipline of the officialdom is useless.

Saying that human nature is like this is actually an excuse, an excuse for oneself.Knowing that you can't do it, just say it's normal.

There are always people who are very confident and think that they can balance and balance the interests of all parties.Or they are very conceited, thinking that their subordinates are loyal enough to themselves, so loyal that they can do anything.This kind of self-confidence or conceit is ridiculous in itself.The interests of all parties who think they are balanced are just tolerated by subordinates.What you think of as loyalty is mostly just helplessness to the environment.Once the environment changes, loyalty may be worth a few pennies, and it is doubtful that it is worth more.

For Wang Xiaolie, being a leader is too difficult.I was trembling, like walking on thin ice, and really didn't dare to say anything to death.But then again, so what if he indulged himself?Many things will not change.But as long as the head is opened, the backlash will come one day.Don't think about the deceitful nonsense that there is no backlash, it's just that the time has not yet come.

After resting in Jiang County for three days, the snow on the road finally melted.Wang Xiaolie took the road to Jiangzhou and went north along the road.

Jiangzhou is very interesting.In a general state, if there is a county with the same name as itself, then the resident is likely to be in this county.Jiangzhou is different, there is Jiang County below, but the resident is in Zhengping County.Zhengping was on the avenue running from south to north, and the traffic was extremely busy.

Cao Zhiyan and Qian Xia An Bo led a group of officials to welcome Wang Xiaolie outside the city early.

When they arrived at the government office, they sat down and everyone saluted like a ritual.

Wang Xiaolie made a few pleasantries, and then told everyone to leave.After a short rest, he returned to the official hall.

Wang Ruohai and Wang Yan had already arrived, saluting with the personnel of Cao Zhiyan's headquarters.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Sit down, everyone, don't be cautious. The reason why we called you for a meeting as soon as we arrived in Jinzhou is because this place is too important. And we will go to Shizhou in a few days, so there is not much time. Today we will mainly discuss The situation facing Jinzhou. Let Cao Dutong start first."

Cao Zhiyan stood up and said, "Follow Xuanfu's order. Jinzhou is the springboard to enter the Taiyuan Valley. Needless to say, it is an important place in the south of Shanxi. The prosperous places here on the East Road are all in the mountain basin. From north to south, there are Xinzhou and Taiyuan. The three major basins of Datongfu and Jinzhou. Of course, Datongfu in the north and Jiezhou in the south are also connected together. Jinzhou is one of the three major basins, and the state has sufficient food and grass to supply the army. It is also the north of Taiyuanfu Springboard, knock on the gate of Taiyuan."

Everyone nodded after listening.

Everyone knows this knowledge.What I really want to hear is the deployment of Song and Jin.

Cao Zhiyan said: "After our army arrived in Hedong, all the way was to release the Ministry of Agriculture in Longde Mansion, and all the way was to be in Jinzhou. They were attacking from left to right, threatening the Taiyuan Mansion occupied by the Jin Army. There has been no change of personnel. Now there are about 2 defenders in Taiyuan, and their strength is less than that of our army."

Wang Ruohai said: "Is there anyone from the Jin Army in the direction of Hedong Road?"

Cao Zhiyan said: "It cannot be said that the Jin army is useless. As far as we know, most of the Khitans who surrendered to the Jin army were on this road. However, Yeluyu saw that although the soldiers who surrendered to the Jin army made a lot of military exploits, they were led by old officials. The Jin people don’t trust him very much. Especially at this time, our army is going north, and the east road is precarious, and Nianhan is even more worried about letting Yeluyu go south. If Yeluyu goes south, our troops will not have the advantage.”

Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Ruohai: "The situation we have learned is about the same. If Nianhan can't mobilize enough Jin troops on the West Road, he will not dare to let the Khitan people go south. Only when there are more than 5 people, Yelu Yujian can participate in the war."

Wang Ruohai said: "But with our current strength, we can't go north. Yeluyu is not at ease seeing Nianhan going south, but there is no problem in defending Datong Mansion."

Wang Xiaolie said: "That's right. Including the Khitan soldiers who surrendered, we don't have an advantage in strength, so we have to think long-term. By the way, do you know how many soldiers Yelu Yujian has? Khitan is a big clan, there will be no fewer. "

Cao Zhiyan said: "The Khitan people's soldiers and horses are not all commanded by Yelu Yujian. For example, Yunnei Jiedu Envoy Yelu Nuge, Yanjing Commander Xiao Gao and other generals each command part of the Khitan soldiers and horses. We asked many times, and Yeluyu Jian The army under direct command is about 5, at most [-], and there will be no more."

"6 to 10 people is not outrageous." Wang Xiaolie nodded. "When we were in Luoyang, we also collected information. It was about the same number. Yelu Yujian's army, plus the monitoring Jin army, the Jin army should have about [-] people. This number is indeed beyond ours. ability to cope."
