Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Wang Xiaolie took a sip of tea and continued: "We often say, and in fact many people also think so. People with bad habits, such as gambling, lust, idleness, etc., are due to insufficient education. As long as education can keep up, people will be good. It can be educated well. This is both true and false. Some people's habits, such as being fond of wine and liking to eat mutton, can indeed be well educated, but some habits, such as gambling and lust, have not changed much in the social environment. In the past, it was difficult to quit. It is said to be difficult to quit, but some people can quit. This requires that we, the politicians, cannot draw a line and make unified demands on society. Instead, we should start from the top politicians. Here, it is necessary to distinguish clearly what should be unified nationwide, what is local, and what depends on the mood of the people. Corresponding to the management of the government, that is, what should be managed by the prime minister, what should be managed by the state, and what should be managed by the county Which ones are self-governing by the people. Which ones are self-governing by the people, and which ones need to be unified, and which ones are irrelevant. For those that need to be unified, we implement official supervision and private supervision."

Wang Ruohai and Chen Yuyi felt drowsy after listening, but Chen Qiudao nodded secretly. After listening to this, I understood why Wang Xiaolie arranged political affairs in such a way and what the purpose behind it was. Chen Qiudao is in charge of political affairs. If Wang Xiaolie becomes emperor, he will be the prime minister and has the deepest experience.

Due to limited energy, Wang Xiaolie, who was in charge of political affairs in the past few years, only put forward programmatic opinions, while Chen Qiudao was the one who did the actual work. Sometimes Chen Qiudao would be confused. He didn't know why Wang Xiaolie arranged it like this and was at a loss.

Wang Xiaolie said: "In a word, we can't ask the people because of what truth we believe, what truth we think we understand, or what we like or don't like. The truth you understand is the truth you believe. It may not be correct. What you like may not be what the people also like. It is required to calculate a result based on statistics and implement policies based on the results. Of course there will be mistakes in implementing policies based on statistical results, but there should always be fewer mistakes. Because of your subjective mistakes. Going one step further, you should summarize the rules based on the statistical results, and implement policies based on the summarized rules. Going one step further, you should be able to see the objective facts and understand them clearly without looking at the statistics. As a result, I just know what to do without looking at the patterns.”

"This is the ladder for promotion of our officials. Other means can only be used as supplements. Since it is a supplement, the supplementary content must be detailed, and future generations can see the supplementary content from the data. Even if we cannot do this now, but We must move towards this goal. As long as we move forward step by step, we will always be able to achieve our goal. In the future, being an official will no longer be so complicated and troublesome, and promotion and demotion will no longer be so elusive. It will all happen naturally."

Having said this, Wang Xiaolie smiled mockingly. Said: "Of course, that's what I think. I dare not say whether I can do it or not. I'm afraid each of these items is contrary to the will of being an official. Some people ask officials to change themselves in order to be consistent with being an official. meet the requirements. Let me take a step back. Once you become an official and understand the responsibilities of an official, you can act as a good official. As long as you act well, I will treat you as a good official. Just being a good official, even if you are acting, how can you be a good official? Is it that easy to act well?"

"So, if you don't ask your officials to have certain qualities or to do something, everything will be fine. Once you ask your officials to have certain qualities or to do something, they will become a target of public criticism. I will be the target of public criticism, so of course I will demand The officials below should do a good job."

The three of them said in unison: "Xuan Fu is considerate of the people, and the officials have always kept it in mind, how dare they not do their best!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Let's go back to the gambling city. Building a gambling city, to the world, is like a person who has to eat, drink, and poop and urinate. If you don't understand what I said before, just think of it as a One toilet. On the surface, we hate gambling, so we want to build a casino. Those who want to gamble should come to the casino, gamble to their heart's content, and don't affect people outside the casino. Of course, the fact If it’s not like that, what does it matter?”

Chen Qiudao said: "Xuanfu's metaphor is correct and easier to understand. It's just that since the casino is a toilet, it shouldn't be built in a bright and beautiful way."

Wang Xiaolie said: "If you are rich, you also hope that the toilet is clean and tidy, and you don't have nowhere to go. Shi Chong's toilet is paved with embroidered satin, and there are more than ten maids in brocade clothes next to it. It is extremely luxurious. Liu Shi came to visit, I felt sick in my stomach and wanted to go to the toilet, but I didn't dare to go to the toilet when I got there. I came back and apologized to Shi Chong. Even if the toilet is a place where filth is discharged, if you have the conditions, you still want to make it clean and tidy, right?"

Chen Qiudao smiled and said, "What Xuan Fu said makes sense."

Wang Xiaolie said seriously: "For us, you must understand what I said before. Comparing the gambling city to a toilet is just a popular way of saying it to suit other officials and people. Remember, when building a gambling city, The fundamental reason is that there are people who like to gamble, so we built a casino to let them gamble without affecting the city."

Chen Qiudao, Wang Ruohai, and Chen Yuyi said seriously: "I understand."

In fact, the three of them seemed to understand what Wang Xiaolie said earlier, but they all understood the metaphor of the toilet immediately after hearing it. Only Chen Qiudao seemed to have understood some of the previous content, but he did not dare to say that he understood everything.

What Wang Xiaolie said was simple and straightforward, but when combined together, many of them were counterintuitive and I couldn't understand them at the moment. Things are often like this. In order to make things simple and clear, use straightforward words. But although it was said in a straightforward manner, many people dismissed it and could not understand it.

Many people are like this. They like to listen to some obscure words. Although they can't understand them, they are enough to brag to others. Someone speaks simply and clearly, but he dismisses it and thinks he can understand what you say as soon as he hears it. What's so difficult about it?

It should be noted that it is not important how the words are said, but the reason behind them is important. After sending the three people away, Wang Xiaolie thought about it carefully and then ordered Mo Yuanwai to be called in.

Officer Mo walked into Wang Xiaolie's official hall and saw Wang Xiaolie sitting behind the desk, so he stood respectfully with his hands lowered.

Wang Xiaolie stood up and said to Officer Mo: "Please sit down. Let's sit down and talk."

Officer Mo, who accompanied him outside, smiled and said, "Where is there a place for a villain to sit in front of Xuan Fu? Xuan Fu can just give the order, and the villain will listen attentively."

After Wang Xiaolie heard this, he couldn't help but look at Mr. Mo. After a while, he said: "Sit down, I'm not used to standing and talking to people. You're welcome, this is the custom here."

Seeing Wang Xiaolie sitting down, he motioned for him to sit down, but Yuan Mo refused again and again before sitting down. Wang Xiaolie glanced at it, quickly lifted up half of Xu's buttocks sitting on the stool, and sat in a horse stance.

Wang Xiaolie saw it and didn't care. Said: "I remember I talked to you once before you went to prison, and I was very impressed. I felt that although you were dark in your heart, you seemed to be a good person on the outside. This time I want to build a casino. Thinking of you, I can As the supervisor of the inn that was built.”

After hearing this, Yuan Mo was dissatisfied and said: "How can a young man be worthy of Xuan Fu's discernment?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "I don't have that much time, so I'll just tell you the truth. If you become an inn supervisor, the rest of your sentence will be waived and you will work as a supervisor for the government for five years. What do you think? This is a good condition."

Member Mo said hurriedly: "I am willing to listen to Xuanfu's arrangements."

Wang Xiaolie said: "How to run the inn is completely from scratch. You will discuss the specific content with Wang He, the office manager, and I will make it clear to him. If you are a supervisor, if you reach the minimum income every year , then it will be divided into 28% and 28% with the government. The government will take 80% and you will take 20%, how about that?"

Mo Yuan said: "They are all rewards from Xuan Fu."

Wang Xiaolie said: "All the funds needed to open the inn in the initial stage will be paid by the government. The initial income of the inn must be deducted from the funds paid by the government before it is shared with you. On days when there is no sharing, your monthly salary is five Ten strings."

After hearing this, Yuan Mo couldn't help but be overjoyed. The monthly salary of fifty guan is not only a lot of money, but also means that the dividends will be greater. Such conditions were something I had never imagined in my dreams. If you do it well, you might be able to make a lot of money.
