Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 837
Wang Xiaolie listened quietly to the performance of Zhang Zhongfu and Zheng Jianchong these days, nodding from time to time.After Xiao Zhen finished speaking, Wang Xiaolie said: "I see. Let them live a good life and go to the school in Luoyang in a few days."

Wang Xiaolie said so much that night, it was basically talking to Niu.The two are full of complaints these days.Dissatisfied with status, dissatisfied with salary, dissatisfied with the future, in short, almost nothing.

It took some days for Wang Xiaolie to realize that he needed to hear their reactions.Then I found the accompanying officials and asked them about their usual performance.Only then did I realize that these two people complained so much on weekdays, but they just didn't dare to say it to themselves.Only then did I realize that what I said that night was completely against the cow, and they didn't listen to it at all.

How many people listened to it?At this time, Wang Xiaolie had no choice but to suspect that the people around him didn't listen.Even Wang Ruohai, Chen Qiudao and others, although they didn't refute it, they didn't necessarily agree with it.

If one day, I am gone, the whole system may collapse.Even the words I said will be forgotten.They will forget why they built this army and why it has developed in this way.It is doubtful that they would even remember anything.

They are obedient to themselves and obey what they say, not because their ideals are so great, but because they are victorious.It is because since entering and occupying Xiangyang, there have been almost no defeats and consecutive victories.Whether their own views are right or wrong, they all agree.

Sighing, Wang Xiaolie leaned back on the chair and looked out the window.

People are naturally different, and each has his own ideas. There is no way to do this.Don't feel sorry, it is precisely because of thousands of people and faces that we have a colorful world.It is impossible to force others to think the same as yourself.No matter how great your ideal is, how pure your goal is, it is impossible to ask others to think the same as you.Don't say that it is impossible to dedicate your life to some great goal.What's more, they are willing to dedicate their lives, and there are also issues of how to dedicate and how to live.

This is a personal matter.It's just that as a leader, I always consciously or unconsciously want others to be like myself.Since you can't do it, then don't waste energy on it.An organization needs mandatory orders and is indispensable.It's just that there are many skills in how to order and how to execute orders.

The army can enforce orders, because these orders come from political requirements and are relatively clear.In other words, the army cannot have its own will, the will of the army comes from political will.If the army develops an independent will, it must be eliminated in time.

The question is, how does political will arise?According to the general development trend of the world, power has gradually shifted from being bestowed by heaven and gods to being bestowed by the people.The typical example is elections, and the right to vote is increasingly held by a wider range of people.

Wang Xiaolie didn't want to use his brain on the form.Because a form is set, those in power always try to embed their own interests into this form.In the end, only the form was retained, but the content was beyond recognition.What Wang Xiaolie has to do is to find a governance method that is compatible with the new political thought.

In the past, it was said that officials should understand a little statistics. Wang Xiaolie was not on a whim, but because the world is like this. Of course, officials must use this method to govern.

The world we live in is not static, nor can it be summed up in one sentence.If you do this, you must simplify the world a lot, and then paint a rough model.This model is similar to the real world, but by no means the real world.Most of the theories are statements about the models they have drawn, not theories about the real world.

What was the world like?For example, the greening trees in your community are fruit trees, such as peaches, apricots, plums, even pomegranates and persimmons.Most people will love these trees and protect the environment of the community.But there are always a few people, sometimes even one person, who pick the fruit when the fruit is about to ripen and take it back to his home.Many times they don't eat, but they just feel like they are losing money if they don't pick it.

If you drive this person away, you will find that another person will come out after a while, and he will still do the same thing.Unless the fruit tree is very overgrown, or has no food value at all, it is difficult to eliminate this phenomenon.Even if a neighbor complains with you that the person who picks the fruit has no public morality, the next second he goes to pick the fruit.It's useless to complain at this time, because the world is like this.

It is useless to analyze human nature and say that human nature is self-interested, or that there are some genes in human nature that cause this.The fact is, why do most people not pick it, but only a few people?

In fact, the best thing to do at times like this is to manage.For example, how much is the fine if you are caught picking a fruit? As long as you catch more, no one will pick it.But there is another problem, that is, how much is the penalty.A fine of [-] yuan for picking a fruit is called a heavy code.Picking a fruit and punishing it by one cent is called light punishment.Severe punishment will lead to the problem that although people are caught, they cannot pay the fine, and the penalty will continue to rise.Light punishment will lead to the problem that people cannot be punished, and more people will be picked.

Therefore, there is a fine range, which is neither heavy nor light.Only when it falls within this range can it be regarded as effective management.

This is true of most things in the world.Social phenomena are probabilistic and conform to a statistical law. Only by understanding statistical knowledge can we manage them better.Without knowledge of statistics, management will be blind.

Wang Xiaolie has known this for a long time, but he still wants to make a final attempt.Using traditional methods, can we find like-minded people and get things done?Just after trying it, the conclusion is that it can't be done well.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Wang Xiaolie shook his head.

People have thousands of faces, and it is impossible to force others to be the same as themselves.This kind of thing is normal, you can't get angry, and you can't blame others for lying to yourself.Because when you asked, you asked the wrong question.

To say that power comes from the people, it is necessary to find a way to make power come from the people.Don't think that this method will remain unchanged forever, and will always be effective, as long as it works for yourself.It is nonsense to think that relying on the system, no matter whether a cat or a dog can be the emperor.

How to do it?Of course, it is still necessary to rely on statistical knowledge to describe the true colors of the world.The people who do this are the people who already went to the folk to collect folk songs when they were in Xiangyang.These people are another kind of officials, people who understand the real world.

It is not possible to use heavy codes for politics.When using heavy codes in troubled times, the first thing to deal with is the person who caused the troubled times, and then use heavy codes for a short time.Normal society is not suitable for heavy codes, and heavy codes will bring more problems.

Of course not lightly punished.Punishment that is too light will make people flout the law and regard the law as nothing.In a normal society, the law should be neither light nor heavy, at a normal level.Only in this way can the law have its due status without causing more problems.

The key to the law is that violations must be punished.The law is appropriate, and there must be penalties for illegal acts.We should not turn a blind eye to some illegal acts for various reasons, or turn a blind eye to some illegal acts, or kill others.If so, people's awe of the law will disappear, and the law will no longer work.

Wang Xiaolie couldn't calculate everything clearly, he could only guarantee that he would not be angry or foolish, and deal with it calmly.
