Chapter 288: It Should Be Simple

Speaking of this, Chen Yuyi turned his head, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and stopped talking.

Zhou said: "I feel that Wang Guan's habit of doing things is to give him a salary and ask officials to do things well. You are a good official, so as long as you are more attentive, why worry about these things?"

Chen Yuyi said: "What I am worried about is that everything is different from others, which makes people feel unsure. According to what Wang Observer said, now the government needs to select officials. These two words are not just a casual word."

Speaking of this, Chen Yuyi couldn't help but sigh again: "And the selection mentioned by Wang Guan is different from the previous standards of the imperial court. How easy is it for us old officials to adapt?"

After a while of silence, Chen and Yi couldn't help but turn around and said to his wife: "The king said that in the future, the government should clearly distinguish between officials and officials. How many things have in a yamen and how many posts each have. In addition, there are some temporary matters that require more staff at the moment, either a short time or a short time. Needless to say, the people who are not bad or a short time are doing things according to the instructions of the officials. Even the officials and officials in the post are also very particular."

"What's the point?" Zhou saw that her husband was very upset today, so he couldn't help but ask.

Chen Yuyi said: "All officials do things within the regulations. Things that are not within the regulations are managed by officials. Generally speaking, officials are so different. Of course, the situation is actually diverse, and they cannot be completely this way, so there is no need to worry about it."

Zhou laughed and said, "What's so strange about this? Isn't it supposed to be like this?"

Chen Yuyi shook his head repeatedly: "You don't know what's happening in the government. There are any officials in the yamen who are more familiar with the affairs of the officials? Even the regulations must be repaired by officials. The first thing Wang observed to appoint officials in this way is to revise the regulations and require officials to be more familiar with the regulations than the public officials. How many officials in the world can do this? There are many famous ministers in this dynasty, and I only heard that the prime minister of Renzong dynasty Duke Lu Wenjing, who is familiar with officials in the capital, is used by them. Officials are often greedy for their own tranquility and do not devote themselves to political affairs. As long as the great fortune is not lost, they will be entrusted to public officials. This will not be the case in the future. Officials must be more familiar with regulations than public officials and handle political affairs more concisely."

Zhou said: "But I think that this is what the officials should have been."

Chen Yuyi shook his head: "Most officials are literati and officials. In addition to political affairs, what is needed is quiet. Every day, the government is busy with political affairs and laborious documents, so what kind of morality is formed! The government uses literati as officials, and in addition to using their talents, they also accept wise men in the world. Political affairs are about being quiet and inaction. The government is free of trouble. How can officials be exhausted every day? The king observes this intention, which is very unbeautiful!"

Seeing her husband's angry look, Zhou smiled and shook his head. It would be better to say that her husband had such a temperament, and he thought that others also had such a temperament. The most common thing for officials in the world is not to think about getting promoted or getting rich?

Seeing his wife's appearance, Chen Yuyi shook his head helplessly and said, "It's not just that. In the future, there will be more rules. This dynasty has already had a way to avoid it, and the king's observation regulations are more detailed. Not only can relatives and friends not be officials in the same yamen, but they are involved in official affairs, but they must also avoid it. The officials' kindness is abolished, and the children of officials must become officials and go to school like others. There are many kinds of annoying."

The Song Dynasty had a way to avoid it. For example, the prefectural magistrate was in charge of the country, and the county magistrate was in charge of the country, so far away from the country. Under the rule of the prefectural magistrate, relatives and friends were not allowed to have industries, especially land. When Zeng Gongliang, one of the editors of "Wu Jing Zongyao", was an official in Kuaiji, he took advantage of the difficult times of the year to buy land. At that time, the governor of Yuezhou was Zeng Gong's father Zeng Yizhan, and mediated and changed the land buyer to Zeng Gongliang's father Zeng Hui. As a result, Zeng Gong's career ended, and Zeng Gongliang was demoted to the Huzhou wine tax.

Wang Xiaoli's avoidance law is stricter. It is strictly forbidden for father, son, brother, relative and friend to be an official in the yamen, and officials are strictly forbidden to have industries under their rule. If the handling of affairs is related to their own relatives and friends, officials must avoid them and handle them by others. Once an official violates the violation, the minority of the officers will be demoted at the worst, and the worst of the officers will be removed from the list. Not only that, if officials are found to have false records, false reports of political achievements, and protect each other, they will be severely punished.

This is one of the contents of selecting officials. The so-called selection is not only to choose talented and moral people as officials, but also to strictly discipline. As for officials doing business, family business, officials lending, etc., it is not allowed. If an official comes from a businessman’s family, the official position he is engaged in must be unrelated to family affairs and is not allowed to serve as an official with particularly powerful power, so as not to have anything to do with the family business.

This kind of thing will be difficult when Wang Xiaolien was in his previous life. Someone will jump out and say it will definitely not work. How can it not work in fact? This should be the norm in the officialdom. It is just because of the ruler's personal reasons, either because of power, inheritance, or because of his own family's power, it is not implemented.

When the People of New China was first established, it was like this. Of course, people at that time were somewhat low in their rewards. Wang Xiaolie did not talk about ideals to officials, but they just paid more money. He suppressed power. Rich people looked down on the high salaries of officials, but most people looked down on it. With enough reserve candidates, the system could be maintained. As for whether the people behind could persist, it was not something that Wang Xiaolie considered.

Some people always think that there will be a perfect system that can last for thousands of years. Or there will always be a rule that can last for thousands of years. Wang Xiaoli does not think that each generation has its own tasks, each generation has its own responsibilities, and each generation has its own responsibilities. Don't think too far.

In political books, the state is a tool of class rule. It is their politics, not Wang Xiaowei's politics. Wang Xiaowei's politics is that the regime must override all the forces in the country, and officials must be above all the forces under the rule. This country is the country of the people, not the country of which class. The task of the state is to ensure that it represents the interests of the people, rather than being kidnapped by any force.

Is such politics possible? Can it be implemented? Wang Xiaoli doesn't know. But at least he has to try it.

Wang Xiaoli's politics is far from the politics of old bureaucrats like Chen and Yi, and their ideals. Including Chen and Yi, all the old bureaucrats were not adapted. So what if they were not adapted? Either do it according to the rules or don't do it. Wang Xiaoli does not force it. With a large army in his hand, the surrounding people who have managed the local areas can continue to manage, and Wang Xiaoli can do it.

Wang Xiaoli prepared some wine and food and watched the moon with his sister under the sycamore tree.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Wang Xiaolei said, "From the future, my sister will live here and live some idle days. My monthly salary is 250 yuan, which is enough for my sister to spend. If Wang Zhong's family is willing, they can do some chores and use my salary."

Wang Qingxiu said, "I heard that the politicians were like the vassal states of the previous Tang Dynasty, and they were in charge of local military and political power. Moreover, local taxes were not required to be paid to the court. The territory you ruled was all yours. Why do you still talk about salary?"

Wang Xiaoli said: "A few days ago, I also thought about this matter, but I have been unable to understand. I am the policing envoy, and I can't understand how to get along with the officials under my jurisdiction, how to arrange the local money and property. How much should I deal with taxes or other money? How much should I spend to the people? How much should I pay to the officials? How much should I take? I can't figure it out. The last time I went home to see my sister, I suddenly figured it out. What's the difficulty? I am the policing envoy, and the official is the observer. The court has a grade and an official salary. What's the matter with me? I can't just treat all the money in the local area as my own. I save the money when the remaining money is too much, and borrow money when the money is less. What does it have to do with my own money?"

Wang Qingxiu smiled bitterly and shook her head: "How can I, a woman, know about these things? Just do it according to your own wishes. It's 250% per month, and we can't spend it all anyway. In addition to Wang Zhong's family, it's enough."

Wang Xiaoli said: "Then I will also wrap up Wang Zhong's family's household expenses and let him come to enjoy some peace and prosperity late. Originally, I thought, you will do something and make some money after you arrive in Xiangyang. Later, I thought, I will not allow the officials below to do business, but I will start a business at home. How can this be done in the world? My sister should enjoy some leisure at home and not make people gossip."

Wang Qingxiu naturally had no objection. He nodded and said some gossip.

In life, I always have the habit of thinking about separating myself from the world. When I become an official, I think about how to borrow the power of the official, how to make my descendants promising and ensure the wealth of the family. When I become an emperor, I think about how to consolidate my status and not lose my descendants.

In fact, how can there be so many things? If you become an official, it is not that you have a good life or that you are amazing. It is just a chance to have this person. Make more money, let your descendants live a better life and receive a better education. This is their blessing. If your descendants are not successful, what can you do? Even if you are not successful, you still have to give your descendants a great power. Isn’t it harming the people?

If a person wants to do great things, he must jump out of it. If he can't jump out, he always thinks about his own things and his descendants. He will not only harm his family, but also harm the people of the world. He will get his salary if he becomes an official. He will naturally talk about everything else later.
