Chapter 651 Don't talk about ghosts and gods, just ask common people
After the school of ancient literature replaced the school of modern literature, the pragmatic thought of "respect ghosts and gods and keep a distance" has actually begun to take root.

Under the vigorous promotion of Liu Bei, the theocracy government of the Eastern Han Dynasty that Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Ming and Emperor Zhang tried their best to establish has actually collapsed, and a secular government is gradually taking shape.

The secular government, freed from the influence of theocracy, has made great leaps and bounds in the specific level of handling of affairs, which is manifested in "don't talk about ghosts and gods, only ask about common people".

Under the auspices of Liu Bei, the original rules of the Eastern Han Dynasty ruled by one court every five days and one court every ten days were completely broken. Although Liu Bei was not an emperor, he would meet with officials from various departments of the court every day to deal with affairs, and every day he would meet with officials from various departments. Heads brains discuss business.

Liu Bei himself focuses on [diligence], no matter what happens, he will deal with government affairs as soon as possible, even take the lead in overtime, work overtime to deal with government affairs, give instructions as quickly as possible, and ask officials to use the fastest speed Execute in place.

For Liu Bei's subordinates in Liangzhou, this is not surprising.

In Liangzhou that year, Liu Bei handled government affairs efficiently in this way, quickly reversed the collapse of Liangzhou, put Liangzhou on the right track, and successfully restored Liangzhou.

And now, this scene appeared again in Luoyang, the center of the empire.

However, the officials of Liangzhou were not accustomed to the things that the officials of the Luoyang court were not used to. For the gentlemen of the Luoyang court, this was not something that made them happy.

Although the people of the ancient literature school are not as pampered and pampered as the masters of the modern literature school, but relatively speaking, compared with the officials in Liu Bei's headquarters, they are not a bit broken.

Liu Bei's work efficiency is extremely high. It takes half a day for ordinary officials and gentlemen to deal with one thing leisurely, but Liu Bei only needs half a day to deal with the workload of the gentlemen for half a month or even a month.

Therefore, officials who are not in Liu Bei's headquarters bear extremely huge pressure when they are doing things-Liu Bei himself is efficient in handling things, and he has high requirements for his subordinates. speed work.

The affairs within the scope of Henan Yin must be completed within one day, the affairs in the Sanhe area must be completed within three days, and the affairs in the Sanfu area must be completed within seven days. If the time is exceeded, they will be punished.

Liu Bei didn't care so much. The guys in the Luoyang court had spent so many years in a loose and extravagant way. Some people even forgot what their responsibilities were. If they didn't help them think about it, they really thought they were here for vacation.

But where did the officials of the Luoyang court experience such hell?
They are used to doing things slowly, they are used to throwing blame at each other and not taking responsibility, they are used to handing over to their subordinates to deal with difficulties when they encounter difficulties, and they think about making money all day long. Who is willing to take responsibility?
They need to run around to various departments to inquire and implement many things.

For example, when Liu Bei asked them about the changes in Luoyang vegetable prices and food prices throughout January, they would go to the street to find the relevant department to obtain the records, and if there were any problems with the records, they would even argue with the market management department. debate.

In order to determine whether the data is true, they also need to ask small businesses and even passers-by to determine the real situation.

The next step is to go to every legal trading area in Luoyang Market, and do what I have done before in these places.

In the past, it was possible for such a thing to take a month or two, and even fill in numbers to fool around if it couldn't be done in the end, but Liu Bei couldn't accept it.

He arranges three waves of people who don't know each other's existence to deal with the same thing. If the conclusions of the three waves are different, ask them what's going on and see what they do.

At the beginning, some officials who didn't know Liu Bei's way of doing things tried to take advantage of it. They thought it would be simpler and filled in a few numbers to fool Liu Bei. As a result, Liu Bei saw the problem and called the three waves of people together to ask them the result.

In the end, the three waves of people were dumbfounded and punished together, and all lost their official titles.

In the first month, more than 20 people lost their official titles and were dismissed by Liu Bei. It was not easy for anyone to intercede, so the reputation of Liu Bei's iron-fisted rule spread, and the people behind learned the lesson, knowing that Liu Bei is not easy to fool , can only hum and rush around doing errands, not daring to slack off.

The further back, Liu Bei has stricter requirements on time. If he thinks that a matter that can be solved in a day is not solved on time, the person responsible will be scolded and punished. If Liu Bei is more dissatisfied, he may be kicked out of the house , thus losing the official title.

As for how to get it done, that's your business, not mine.

Want to be an official and hold power?Want to dominate?
can.

But you have to be capable!
Losing an official position is a consequence that bureaucrats cannot accept anyway. Compared with losing an official position, it is more cost-effective to run around.

With Liu Bei's order, many things need them to go to Luoyang Street to deal with, and more things need them to go to various counties and farms in Henan Yin to deal with it, and they need to get in touch with those grassroots officials who handle common affairs in the local area. member.

It's not something that can be done in just two days.

Liu Bei prepared a lot of horses for them, gave them enough help with transportation, and also gave some food and beverage subsidies, and then——Give me a business trip!

Want to sit in the office drinking tea and reading the newspaper?
If it doesn't exist, let me do everything for you!
Facing Liu Bei's super-high work efficiency and super-high work requirements, the leisurely officials and gentlemen are miserable and unable to resist. They can only force themselves to glow with the explosive power of the youth version, keep up with Liu Bei's pace, and run around to do things. .

It was really dark and dizzy when I got busy, and it was a morning when I lowered my head. I just had breakfast here, and when I looked up, it was already afternoon, and it was time for lunch.

Some people were so busy that they didn’t have time to eat lunch, so they could only take a few bites while riding on horseback with dry food, giving up their appetite and avoiding being held accountable by Liu Bei.

Under the leadership of Liu Bei, the decayed and old machine of the Luoyang court began to operate at super high speed. After a long period of non-operation, the sudden high-speed operation will of course cause some problems, and it is natural to have some labor pains for a while.

Adhering to the principle that human resources should not be wasted, some traditional Qingshui yamen, such as the officials of the Sangong Mansion, some administrative departments, etc., those officials with no future and no official duties were not let go. Take it out to work.

If you don’t have a specific command, then you will be responsible for running errands, sending news to this side, sending news to that side, uploading and distributing, it’s up to you!

Get rid of the No. [-] bus and run for me. You can't be slow in delivering messages. If you are slow, I want you to look good!
As long as you are receiving the imperial salary, no one is allowed to stop, run for me, get restless for me, and do things for me!

Even those Yilang, the Taizhong doctor, etc., who were always noble and fine, were not spared, and they were all pulled out by Liu Bei to help them do things.

Considering their different levels of knowledge, Liu Bei did not entrust them with important tasks, but entrusted them with more complicated transcription work, and they became the royal transcription team, who were bored in the room all day long and needed to transcribe. Copy the backup file.

There are more and more documents, their wrists are more and more sore, their eyes are more and more straight, their necks are more and more uncomfortable, and their hair is falling more and more.

But there is no way, there are still more and more documents that need to be transcribed, more and more, more and more endless—the Luoyang court is not only dealing with new things, but even some old cases in old files have been taken out Re-examination process.

Not a single thing was left behind.

Just three months after Liu Bei came to power, the decadent, old and sluggish Luoyang court exploded with unprecedented vitality.

Under Liu Bei's spur, the bureaucrats ran.

They have no time to intrigue, read and practice calligraphy, have parties, drink and have parties. They can only do errands. They used to work for ten consecutive days to take a break, but now they don’t know when they can take a break.

Of course, Liu Bei "kindly" changed the original rule that officials could not go home when they went to work.
