Sir, you have to pay more

In fact, Jia Liu hated formalism the most.

But that was when he was not an official.

It was only when he became an official and a high-ranking official that he realized that formalism is inseparable from the country's development.

Because one of the biggest benefits of formalism is to allow officials to do a good job of superficial writing. If officials refuse to do superficial writing, it will be a real disaster for the people.

Another advantage of formalism is that it can effectively form a routine in a short period of time, which is convenient for latecomers to learn and follow up.

If Jia Liu wants to govern the country, he cannot do without the bureaucracy.

How can the bureaucratic team always follow his footsteps and act according to his instructions?

This requires formalism.

The logic is as simple as that.

For example, if Jia Liu wants to develop industry and trade, the officials below will definitely spare no effort in these two directions.

Because it determines whether they can go further.

As for whether they understand it or not, it doesn't matter whether they understand it or not.

It is important to like above.

To make it simpler, for example, if an official from the government wants to go to the county for inspection, then the county will arrange people to greet the merchants along the street two days in advance, and say to clean up your entrance.

As far as merchants are concerned, they are willing to cooperate. After all, everyone wants a clean and comfortable living and business environment.

During these two days, the county will also specially arrange personnel to be scavengers in the streets and alleys to ensure that no garbage can be seen on the market.

So, is this formalism good or bad?
The answer is really hard to say.

Before he became the Great General King, Jia Liu must have scolded this phenomenon, but after he became a senior leader, he felt that there was a certain reason for this phenomenon.

In fact, it is the same as the height at which a person stands determines the scenery that a person can see.

Of course, Jia Liu knows that allowing formalism to spread and develop will cause more serious harm than bureaucracy.

The problem is, he simply doesn't have a competent, truly progressive cadre to implement his ideas.

The so-called Gongjinhui is essentially a collection of corrupt officials.

It is easy to point out that Gongjinhui usurped the Qing Dynasty, and pointing out that Gongjinhui will develop China into a great power and let the people live a better life, then it is really a high opinion of Gongjinhui.

Fish and dragons are mixed together, and mud and sand are mixed together. It is a perfect description of the Gongjinhui.

But Jia Liu still has to rely on the existing civil servant system to handle affairs, relying on the Gongjin Association to realize the plan in his mind.

Then, this formalism is necessary.

Because formalism has one of the most important roots - leadership preferences.

For this reason, Jia Liu can only let himself become the existence he once scolded.

This is also a kind of political wisdom.

In order to have a better tomorrow, he can only bear the pain and be stricter with himself.

"The sun came out and climbed the hillside. When I climbed to the top of the mountain, I wanted to sing. The singing wafted to my sister. My sister laughed when she heard it."

At the pool where Li Taibai bathed back then, Jia Liuqing couldn't help but chanted a few words. He was so shocked that the accompanying civil and military officials looked at him with admiration. They all praised the prince not only for being both civil and military, but also for being wise and brave.

The way many people looked at Wang Ye changed.

The kind of exaggeration with sincerity.

"If you didn't know that you were flattering me, I almost thought I could beat Li Taibai."

Jia Liu is very self-aware. His literary talent is absolutely impossible to compare with Li Bai and Du Fu, but he can still be compared with the fourth devil.

The quantity is not enough, but the quality is definitely not inferior.

As for the four-character poem just now, its level is also at the second place.

He casually took out a hard-boiled egg from his pocket and knocked it down on the stone. Yu turned the egg shell and it fell to the ground. As a result, he was just about to put the egg in his mouth when his hand slipped and the egg fell to the ground. Rolled several feet down the steps.

Of course, this is not a plot designed by Jia Liu, but a real miss.

However, to everyone's surprise, the prince jumped to the side of the egg with hands and feet like a rabbit, picked it up and blew on the plaster on it, and bit down without hesitation.

"My lord!"

The accompanying civil and military officials looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they all made the prince a little confused by this move.

"Wipe it off if it's dirty. It's not that you can't eat it. What's the matter if you throw it away? What we eat and drink now is the blood and sweat of the people. Take this little egg as an example. Do you know how many people there are?" I can't afford this egg! Therefore, it must not be wasted, waste is a crime against the people!"

After the speech, Jia Liu turned to ask Lai Xiucai, the deputy head of the reporting team of the "Daqing Daily" who accompanied the army, if he had written it down. After getting an affirmative answer, he swallowed the egg contentedly.

As a result, I almost choked on it, and took a few mouthfuls of Moutai to get the egg into my stomach.

Seeing a huge boulder on the left side that can be climbed and overlooked, I couldn't help but try to climb it.

As a result, after climbing a few times, he never went up. Instead, he was tired and out of breath. He patted his protruding stomach in anger, reminding himself not to eat and drink, or go down with big fish and meat. Otherwise, he might become the first person in history because The emperor who died after three heights.

And with his current physique, if something happens to him, it may be difficult for him to go up the mountain to fight a guerrilla.

Don't end up in the deep mountains and old forests and run down the mountain to steal chickens from fellow villagers and get caught, that would be embarrassing.

In the end, it was Baozhu who asked the two of them to build an adult ladder for the prince to climb up.

"I will be Ling Jueding, and I will see the mountains and mountains!"

Standing on the boulder and letting the cold wind blow his mind, Jia Liu felt that he was integrated with nature. The scenery in front of him was so beautiful, the white clouds in the sky were so white, and the ground under his feet was so solid.

It was as if everything in Qing Dynasty was in his heart, as if the future of the world was in his hands.

After a long time, I asked the people below: "Where is Zhongxiang City located?"

Baozhu quickly looked at the map, then used the compass pen to draw some more, asked the two accompanying guides, and then pointed to a certain direction and said: "My lord, this direction!"

"Oh?"

Jia Liu bent down to take the binoculars handed over by Shixia Baozhu, squatted on the ground and looked in Zhong Xiang's direction seriously.

However, apart from the white snow in front of my eyes, I couldn't see anything.

But this didn't affect him in the slightest to continue squatting there and staring seriously, changing his posture from time to time, with a dignified expression on his face.

Ding Qing was very surprised, and couldn't help but weakly ask the prince what he saw.

Jia Liu had a deep expression on his face: "What I see is hope, the hope of victory!"

"Oh?"

Ding Qing and others looked in the direction of Zhong Xiangcheng, but they couldn't see anything.

"If you can see it, what do you want me to do?"

Jia Liu calculated that it was almost time, so he put down the binoculars and jumped off the boulder. As a result, the good news came just as soon as it landed——Zhong Xiang changed flags.

"Look, this is what the king said about hope!"

Jia Liuda was overjoyed. He was not only overjoyed that he won the victory and took down Zhongxiang City, but also that he had collected nearly [-] elite soldiers, thus opening the road to victory in Wuchang.

At the moment, Lu Bo's guard of honor was ordered to march towards Zhongxiang City, and the second cousin Urshibalan, the left-wing minister and second cousin, was ordered to lead the Zhengbai Banner Guards to take over Zhongxiang City first.

When we arrived at the foot of the city, we saw that the city gate was opened, and the Xinghan army flag flying above the city was replaced by the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty.

Wang Daji, Gu Sitong and other generals of the Xinghan Army went out of the city together, and knelt down to welcome General Fuyuan and Prince He Shuorui to arrive.

This group of people surrendered relatively simply. They shaved off their long hair long ago, and their heads were all bald, with a braid hanging from the back.

Jia Liu frowned immediately, but didn't say anything.

Soon, the head of the thief general Qiu Ba in the box was brought over.

Jia Liu never opened it, but only asked Ji Yun about the details of Qiu Ba's death, and then sighed: "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me."

After pondering for a while, he ordered: "Sew Qiu Ba's head to the body, wrap the body in fine yellow silk, bury it, find an underground burial outside the city with better geomantic omen, and erect a tombstone for Qiu Ba."

Hearing these words, the kneeling generals were a little uneasy, not knowing what Prince Rui meant.

Jia Liu didn't say anything more, and motioned to the left and right to follow him into the city.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, his second cousin, Urshibalan, came over and said that many people in the city had their braids cut off. Cutting their braids according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty was tantamount to rebellion, so he asked his cousin whether the people in the city should be treated according to the laws.

"Don't slaughter the city!"

Ji Yun was shocked when he heard the words, because in this case, there might not be one out of ten people in Zhongxiang City.

"If you don't have braids, you are refugees, if you have braids, you are good citizens. They are all citizens of the Qing Dynasty. They should not be killed indiscriminately."

Of course, Jia Liu would not agree with his second cousin's massacre. Firstly, the common people would have to suffer with swords and necks; secondly, Zhongxiang's massacre of the city would definitely make other cities stubbornly resist, which is not conducive to recovery.

However, Urshibalan wanted to massacre the city to stimulate the soldiers of the Eight Banners Green Camp to be aggressive. After all, the early Qing Dynasty was able to win the country of the Han people by massacring the city. This made the surrendered Ming army not only high in morale, but also more stable in loyalty.

Although Zhongxiang City has been successfully recovered now, it is not based on real skills, but on instigating the defenders. The morale of the army has not improved significantly, so it is necessary for Zhongxiang to slaughter the city. At least those cities that have surrendered to the bandit army will not dare to close The door was refused.

Jia Liu still disagreed with his second cousin’s suggestion. Fortunately, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Niu Lunbao, and the Hubei appeasement Zheng Dajin also insisted on not agreeing to the massacre of the city. Seeing that his proposal was not supported, Urshibalan did not mention it in embarrassment. .

After entering the city, Jia Liu came to Zhizhou Yamen and asked Wang Daji and others whether Qiu Ba had been killed here. After getting an affirmative answer, his face was a little gloomy, and he stared blankly at the blood that had not been completely wiped off the ground.

Just when the generals were uneasy, they heard the hearty laughter of Prince Da Qingrui, and then gave an order, and the silver boxes were carried in one after another.

A full 3 taels of silver.

Jia Liu did not break his promise and fully fulfilled his promise.

Wang Daji was awarded the title of General Soldier, and Gu Sitong was named Deputy General. The third army of the original Xinghan Army was established and transferred to the Green Camp in Hubei.

He also issued a general order to the Quartet. From now on, all officers and soldiers who take the initiative to surrender will be rewarded; those who surrender without being defeated will not be accepted.

It is also required to post posters widely in various places to appease the common people and gentry in the area controlled by the bandit army, saying that the Qing soldiers will not commit any crimes until autumn, and will never punish the people for having braids or braids.

He also asked Wang Daji and other surrendered generals to mobilize the subordinates in the army to write letters to their acquainted relatives, friends and neighbors, asking them to take the initiative to come and return, and even if they did not return, they should voluntarily disperse and return home.

The imperial court will never settle accounts after autumn.

In the face of such a large-scale political offensive, a large number of Xinghan Army soldiers from all over the country came to vote. At one time, as many as a dozen counties and counties collectively changed their banners to welcome the Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, which instantly shook the foundation of the Xinghan Army's rule in Hubei.

Chen Huizu, Governor of Huguang who surrendered to the Xinghan Army, heard about Prince Rui's move, and he couldn't help saying to his attendants: "If you don't kill Prince Rui, I'm afraid there will be no place to die."
