Chapter 349 Liu Bei Did It Right

After this wave of Liu Bei came back, he made big events and actions one after another.

The state school was established, and the preparatory school affiliated to the state school was also established, and Liangzhou was about to enter a state of cultural prosperity.

Is this... a bit fast?
From the middle of the third year of Zhongping, when Liu Bei served as the shepherd of Liangzhou, to the end of the fourth year of Zhongping, in a full year and a half, Liu Bei has brought Liangzhou from a state of war to a state of cultural prosperity. None of them reacted.

More than a year ago, Liangzhou was still a war-torn wasteland. People struggled to survive, living a life of eating today and being eaten tomorrow.

After more than a year, Liangzhou has become a paradise where all things thrive, and everyone can enjoy the minimum peaceful life in Liangzhou.

This has to be said, is a very gratifying thing.

The group of people who followed Liu Bei went through the whole process, and had a relatively high degree of acceptance of these things, because they were involved in many things themselves, and they knew what was going on.

But for those who have just entered Liangzhou with inherent stereotypes, all this is like a fairy tale.

For example Xun You.

He swore that he had really imagined the development and construction of Liangzhou to the greatest extent before that, and he even felt that his vision had already given Liu Bei face, it had really reached the extreme, and he could not continue to imagine it. .

Otherwise, Liangzhou would not be a wasteland, but a paradise.

He thinks that Liangzhou is just a little more reasonable now that it can be done without a lot of waste, and there is no need for more improvements, but who would have thought that the current Liangzhou is really making big strides in the direction of a paradise.

The chaos of war seems to have gone away, and the rule of law has arrived.

According to previous historical experience, after the chaos of war, it has entered a stable state, and the world can usher in civil rule, usher in prosperity and development, and then enter a prosperous age. The corner of Liangzhou has obviously emerged from the chaos of war and entered a period of rapid development. stage.

From a development perspective, this is normal.

But in terms of time, this is not normal.

Liangzhou has been in chaos for more than 130 years. Since Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, there has been Qiang chaos.

During this period, how many people died here and how much money was spent here, Liangzhou is simply a meat grinder and cemetery for the Luoyang court and local rebel forces. .

Every time everyone thought that the Liangzhou Rebellion was resolved, it turned out that chaos erupted again soon, so that no one thought that the Liangzhou Rebellion could be completely resolved.

That's why some people want to solve the Liangzhou chaos by completely abandoning Liangzhou.

I give up, I don't want it anymore, there will be no wars, right?

There are many people who hold this kind of thinking even in the current Luoyang court, let alone during the Han and Qiang wars.

But now, with just a change of military and political chief, Liangzhou has gone from chaotic to prosperous and orderly in just over a year, and everything is in order.

Seems like this mess has come to an end?
As far as Xun You saw with his own eyes these days, the high efficiency of the Liangzhou state capital, the diligence of the officials, the harmonious relationship between colleagues, and the integrity of the officials were all things he had never seen in other places.

He is a son of a wealthy family. He has a deep insight into the dark side of society and a deep understanding of the hidden rules of political operations. He is by no means a political novice.

However, whether in his hometown or in Luoyang, he has never seen such an efficient and clean government.

It's not that there are no private gossips, little thoughts about each other, but these are all controlled to a certain extent.

In other places, the daily routine of the government is to make profits, and then to handle affairs, while in Liangzhou, this order is reversed.

In other places, the government first looks at the interests in handling affairs, and sees whether it is beneficial to itself.

Things that are beneficial will be swarmed up, and they will even step on and compete with each other, which looks very ugly.

If there is no benefit, I just play football lazily, and no one is willing to do my best.

If there are bad things, just ignore them and avoid them, or resort to the method of throwing blame, throwing blame all over the sky, blaming each other, and shirking responsibility. The art of language is brought to the extreme, which is amazing to watch.

Efficiency is also appallingly low.

But in Liangzhou, this is not the case.

The purpose of this official government seems to be to do things. It must do things first, and then talk about other things. The first thing is to do things, that is, to do things honestly.

If you have the conditions, you need to do things. If you don’t have the conditions, you can report to the state government. If you create the conditions, you have to do things for me.

It's just four words - do something for me!
When a matter is sent, someone will immediately send it to different departments according to the type. After reading it, the head of the department is anxious for the relevant responsible personnel to arrange it, or he can deal with it himself, or report it to the state government to wait for the news.

Once you're done, move on to the next thing.

From morning to night, except for the lunch break, I was working at other times.

After sunset, the city has a curfew, but the government is still working with lights on.

There is a public canteen in the government, which is specially ordered by Liu Bei. Officials and government employees can eat here for free, three meals a day, and there is a night snack after very late, which is prepared for officials who work overtime.

Among colleagues, there are not as many disputes over background, official position, academics, etc. among other local governments. There are some small chats on a daily basis, but the small talk is also centered around the things you do, and occasionally involves academic backgrounds and the like, which is not in-depth. ,laugh it off.

Here, there seems to be only one direction, that is the ability to do things, and the ability to do things determines everything.

Xun You had never seen this kind of purity, nor imagined it would really appear.

But when this situation really appeared in front of him, and after he really got involved, he gradually began to understand why Liangzhou could be reversed in such a short period of time.

The source of all this is that person.

The person who turned things around by himself.

That person brought earth-shaking changes to Liangzhou, promoted drastic reforms to Liangzhou's officials, and created all of the present.

At first, Xun You thought that it was because of Liu Bei's great talent and harsh methods that Liangzhou was changed. It was Liu Bei who whipped the Liangzhou officials and forced them to move forward. But later, he felt that something was wrong.

If it is just harsh treatment of officials, officials should have more complaints.

But they treated Liu Bei in a state of awe. They didn't hear anyone speak ill of Liu Bei. Instead, they mostly praised Liu Bei. The rest was worried that there would be problems in their evaluation, and they were worried about it.

In the end, it was some words of his little uncle Xun Yu who had been working here and witnessed these drastic changes with his own eyes.

"Junhou once told me that he doesn't think he is great. The reason why he can do all this is because he sincerely wants Liangzhou to be better, and he is willing to use his own things to subsidize Liangzhou. State, so that Liangzhou developed.

Officials other than him look down on Liangzhou, despise Liangzhou people, think they are hopeless, and don't want to do anything practical at all. They just want to profit from Liangzhou and satisfy their selfish desires, so Liangzhou will become more and more The chaos is becoming more and more hopeless, but do the people of Liangzhou really want to live a stable life? "

Everything Liu Bei has done proves many things.

Sincerity and fairness, this is the reason why Liu Bei still has a high reputation and a good reputation despite torturing the officials to this extent in Liangzhou.

Even those who disagreed with some of his methods and means nodded in approval of his fairness and real dedication. They had nothing to say about these, and they were willing to believe Liu Bei's judgment based on these foundations.

Although they were indeed tortured by Liu Bei.

But they have never seen a chief who is willing to pay so much for Liangzhou, and they have never seen such a well-behaved chief. They have never seen such a chief since the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, or since the Han-Qiang War. .

Compared with those local military and political chiefs of his time, Liu Bei is simply a saint.

Officials are in awe of this "sage" who is willing to give, dislikes extravagance, and is strict with himself and others.

So Xun Yu said to Xun You that Liu Bei's experience has proved that there is no real bitter cold place, it is man-made.

The chief is willing to invest, and puts a lot of money into the local area. Liangzhou, the legendary "bitter and cold place", can also glow with vitality.

As long as the farmers in Liangzhou have a stable environment, they can also work hard to produce a large amount of food, and they are willing to be farmers to produce food, not like some people in the court said, they are more willing to fight and kill. They're a bunch of hopeless thugs.

Liangzhou also has merchants who deal in goods, Liangzhou also has farmers who are willing to grow food, and Liangzhou has all of the Central Plains.

Then why make Liangzhou an existence that everyone is unwilling to accept and despise?
This is wrong.

Liu Bei did not do this, but Liu Bei did the right thing, so Liangzhou regained its vitality.

This vitality is no worse than other prosperous and prosperous Central Plains states and counties.

Xun You sighed, he sighed very much, the stereotype has been broken, and Liangzhou is no longer synonymous with poverty, poverty, and barbarism.

Liangzhou is Liangzhou.

In Liangzhou now, not only is there no war, but it can even take the initiative to launch conquests and mobilize soldiers and civilians to support the battle, and the people of Liangzhou are very willing to support Liu Bei's campaign.

Investigating the root cause, Xun You found that Liu Bei did another thing right.

He is happy to share the results he has obtained with everyone, not just for one person, and even the lowest farmers can enjoy the sharing of this result.
