Xuande

Chapter 652

Sometimes, Liu Bei will also do some "good things".

For example, he allows officials to commute to and from get off work every day, and allows officials to go home and sleep every day instead of staying in the official office.

But because he asked officials to go to work at midnight every day, and often worked overtime at night, most of the officials still lived outside Luoyang City.

So unless they leave work on time, officials will go home to rest.

Once working overtime, the officials defaulted to staying in the official office for one night and not going home, so as not to encounter "traffic jams" when they came to the official office the next morning to work, and their salary would be deducted if they failed to clock in on time.

Of course, such high-intensity work is also prone to problems. Mr. Liu, who is well versed in the essence of sustainability, used some small tricks in order to make officials work overtime better without too much resentment.

For example, Liu Bei allocated funds to build a central canteen in the imperial city, which specially provided officials with three meals a day and a midnight snack, so that officials would not have to worry about finding a place to eat.

Before the central canteen was in charge of meals, the Luoyang court did not have a tradition of providing meals to officials. Occasionally, some emperors gave food, which was regarded as a favor, but it was rare, and not every official who was in charge of affairs could enjoy it.

Just like the bowl of summer ice drink that Liu Bei drank in the twelfth lunar month of winter, only high-ranking officials can enjoy the food from the emperor, and low-ranking officials don't even think about it.

And this central canteen covers all the people who work in the imperial city, no matter the officials or their ranks, as long as they are working in the imperial city, they can eat.

This central canteen is relatively large, and many cooks come from Liu Bei's army and even Liu Bei's own house, who are good at various new dishes.

Especially good at cooking in big pots, which is very popular in the army.

Stir-frying in a big pot is fast and fast, and it is very suitable for providing meals to hundreds or thousands of people in a restaurant. Therefore, the main dish in the central canteen is stir-frying in a big pot.

Stir-frying in these large pots is a novel experience for officials who have never felt the charm of frying. After trying it for a while, basically everyone can accept this form of stir-frying, and they are quite popular with it.

The proper supply of food has restored Liu Bei's popularity and reduced some officials' dissatisfaction with him due to fatigue.

But no matter how dissatisfied they are, it is useless.

Liu Bei did not intend to let the officials of the Luoyang court go back to the past. Their good days are coming to an end. When they rule the world, they must become sweatshop workers and use their blood and sweat to summon a bright future for the great man.

There is no reason for the common people to face the loess outside and their backs to the sky, but these officials and lords can be at ease. They have as many things to do, and they are more important.

I'm sorry for the salary if I don't work overtime!
"The Luoyang court in the past was too sloppy and inefficient. Things that could be done in a day were delayed until a month. Many things in the country were broken by these lazy people, so now I want to make a complete innovation. , while pursuing efficiency, we must also pursue speed!"

"The situation in the past is not allowed to recur. Everyone must hurry up, everyone must run, move, and do the most things in the shortest time. Only in this way can we live up to the kindness of the emperor!"

Under Liu Bei's call, the Luoyang court is basically making big strides towards the path of [doing things that can be done in a month in one day, and trying to finish things that can be done in a day in half a day]. A hard work.

Only officials who work hard have a future, and only officials who work hard and have the courage to work overtime have a future. Get out of the Luoyang court, the lying salted fish. The court does not need waste like you lying down!

Liu Bei shouted the slogan of struggle in the Luoyang court to give everyone blood.

Because Liu Bei set an example and worked overtime with everyone, no matter how dissatisfied the officials were, they could not express their protest against this situation.

After a long time, some people got used to it. Afterwards, some gossips even began to spread among the officials, saying things like [the longer you work overtime with the general, the more you will be favored by the general].

After Liu Bei heard about it, his attitude was very ambiguous. He did not publicly encourage, but he did not publicly oppose.

For officials who are willing to work overtime with him, he does not explicitly encourage them, but in practice he is more intimate with officials who work more overtime and go home less often.

As a result, a group of court officials who were eager to make progress were overwhelmed by his pua's desire to die, and couldn't stop, which led to the involution of the entire court official group.

There are very few people who can transcend it, unless they really have no need for the future, otherwise they are basically trapped in this round of introversion frenzy.

Also because of this round of super-involution frenzy, some important affairs from the sixth year of Zhongping to the third year of Jian'an were completed during this period, especially the complicated slave resettlement work and post-war resettlement work. Well done and crisply handled.

Officials from Bingzhou and Youzhou were very satisfied with the efficiency of the imperial court. They felt that the imperial court had been completely reborn. The work efficiency that could not be obtained with money before was now available without money.

Therefore, the border defense affairs and settlement affairs of the two states have also done quite well.

Of course, all this is not without cost, that is, the probability of illness among Luoyang court officials has greatly increased during this period. Many officials have begun to fall ill, and some of them are quite sick.

However, the officials who came back to work after recovering were obviously in better spirits than before, and the efficiency of their work began to improve, and the Luoyang court was operating at a higher speed.

The operation of the imperial court is at a high speed, so the operation of the local government must be at a high speed, and it must be adapted to the efficiency of the imperial court, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

The prefectures, the prefectures, and the prefectures are running at a high speed. No matter what happened in the past, no matter what they thought in the past, the imperial court is now operating at such a high speed. If the local government loses the chain, the situation will be very serious.

During the three months from February of the third year of Jian'an to May of the third year of Jian'an, three county guards and 77 county magistrates were demoted or dismissed by Liu Bei because of low efficiency and poor handling ability.

In the Luoyang court, 38 officials were dismissed.

After the dismissal, all these positions were replaced by people who Liu Bei could trust, at least, people who had no problem with work efficiency.

Not many people were dismissed, and some even belonged to Liu Bei's own faction. They were dismissed because they were not serious and unsteady in their work, but the effect was very good. This approach further highlighted Liu Bei's principles of handling things and not people. .

Liu Bei needs an efficient team and a group of [-] tool people. The "remnants of the former dynasty" who cannot adapt to the new environment are not qualified to survive in the new era.

For Liu Bei's almost crazy torture of the court, some people with higher status also saw it, and their views on this situation were also different.

Lu Zhi was very satisfied, very happy, and personally joined the frenzy of introversion, doing business and involuntary with everyone, and felt very happy.

He felt that this was the perfect imperial court in his dream, the perfect work team in his dream, and it would be wonderful if he could cooperate with such a group of people who only knew how to do work.

There is no intrigue, no power struggle, only collaboration and passionate interaction between each other, in order to promote the incomparable joy of the same thing.

So he couldn't help it, Lu Zhi began to work overtime with the officials together with Liu Bei, and often worked overtime until midnight. Not only was he not tired of this, but he was also very energetic.
