As the overlord of one party, how to govern is a question.
If the people are easy to talk to and can fill their stomachs, they will shout for a prosperous age and long live the ruler. They will shed tears of gratitude to the ruler and burn three sticks of incense in the morning and evening to pray for him.
The fewer desires, the easier it is to satisfy them.
People are easily satisfied.
But the powerful have a hard time satisfying their desires.
The conflict between rulers and powerful men lies in how benefits are distributed.
The more powerful people grab more benefits, the less resources the rulers have and the people can obtain.
In a period when social resources are abundant, this contradiction can still be concealed.
When social resources are scarce, contradictions will emerge.
In most cases, rulers will seek the help of powerful people, but countless examples prove that powerful people would rather sit back and watch the Central Plains collapse, and would rather let aliens rule them than cut off a piece of their flesh to save the world.
This is not the nature of capital.
It's the deepest desires of human beings.
Black desire!
This kind of desire requires countless profits to be stimulated, and those who can meet this condition...
Therefore, the decline of a country must come from the top!
It was like a conductor, spreading the aura of decay to the local areas, and then the local officials showed their greedy faces and began to reap the benefits.
Once this guidance is completed, it will be like opening countless wounds on the country. Every day, the wounds will become wider.
Only by cutting off these carrion can the pattern of decline be restored.
Among them, official administration and taxation are the most important.
"If the officials are not able to govern well, it will be difficult to implement the government orders."
At the other end of the long street, Yang Xuan and Song Zhen stood under the eaves of a nirvana family.
"So since you took charge of Northern Xinjiang, the first thing you touched was the administration of officials."
"Yes, official administration is the foundation of everything." Yang Xuan said, "You should know about the Southern Zhou Dynasty!"
Song Zhen nodded, "Of course, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, I have learned about it specially."
"Then you should be aware of the ongoing innovations in the Southern Zhou Dynasty."
"Sun Shinong's New Deal?" Song Zhen nodded, "The Southern Zhou Dynasty seemed to be in full bloom, but behind the scenes there were many crises. The government could not make ends meet in terms of money and food, and Yin was short of food, and the army was weak. This is why Sun Shi's New Deal came out."
"Sun Shi's new policy addressed the shortcomings of Nanzhou and Zhou Dynasties, but in the past few years, there has been little progress," Yang Xuan said.
"Many people in the court said that Sun Shi was too cruel," Song Zhen said.
"This is not the root cause."
"What do you think is the root cause?" Song Zhen asked.
"The New Deal of the Southern Zhou Dynasty seemed to have a bright future, but Sun Shi ignored one thing: execution ability!"
"Execution ability?"
"It's the administration of officials!" Yang Xuan said: "The purpose of the New Deal is to make money, and Sun Shi targeted all classes. But he forgot that some classes are like gluttons, they can only enter but cannot leave.
Moreover, when the New Deal came to the local areas, it was originally a means to clean up taxes, but it became a tool for local officials to make money. As a result, the people were exploited at all levels, and their lives became more and more difficult."
He looked at Song Zhen and said, "If a ruler wants to govern, he must first clarify the administration of officials. If the administration of officials is unclear, no matter how good the policy is, it will become a tool for local officials to make money."
"I understand." Song Zhen's eyes were complicated, "If the officials are not governing clearly, the state affairs will inevitably be unclear!"
"Yes." Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Every time I go to a place, the first thing I do is to rectify the administration. But local officials and local powerful people collude with each other, and the influence of one move affects the whole body..."
Song Zhen was shocked, "That's why you have been holding back."
Yang Xuan nodded and smiled, "I can wait!"
"I heard that after you arrived in Taoxian County, you first took control of the army, and then replaced incompetent officials step by step..."
"I am just a human being, not a god. A good man must have a few helpers."
"Replace officials, and then let these officials clean up local officials. In this way, while clarifying the administration of officials, there will be little movement. You completed the replacement quietly."
Song Zhen took a deep breath and said, "Hong Kong heroes don't have such means either!"
Han Ji said reservedly: "Mr. Lang is loyal to the Tang Dynasty."
hehe!
I'm so disgusted with you!
Song Zhen was deeply entangled in his heart, "When you first arrived in Taoxian County, you needed to establish your authority. At that time, it was the best opportunity to use powerful forces. Why wait until now?"
The old man is very sharp!
Yang Xuandan said calmly: "The local tycoons colluded with the officials! To touch them at that time was to cut off the flesh from your own body. If you touch them, it will hurt your heart."
"Therefore, my lord first reorganized other officials, then sent out troops to establish his authority, opened up wasteland to win the hearts of the people, and built up momentum step by step. Until this time when Chang'an returned, my lord's power reached the extreme. This is a good opportunity to take action."
Han Ji stroked his beard and looked at the fallen Sun Xian in front of him, feeling very comfortable.
For such a forbearing lord, it’s because God has no eyes to see that he can’t accomplish anything!
A woman rushed out of Sun's house, screaming: "Husband!"
Then, she yelled at Pei Jian, "You bitch slave, what kind of taxes are you talking about? Sun doesn't have any!"
"idiot!"
Yang Xuan sneered.
"It's not good to kill people!" Song Zhen said softly.
"Look again."
Yang Xuandan said calmly.
Pei Jian pressed the handle of the knife and squinted at the woman, "No?"
As the inner breath surged, the breath locked onto the woman.
"No! If you have the ability, kill me!"
The woman screamed, "Is there any more royal law? Ah!"
Pei Jian took a step forward.
"In Northern Xinjiang, the Duke of the country is the king's law!"
Zheng!
The horizontal sword is slightly unsheathed.
Pei Jian said solemnly: "The Duke of the State ordered the powerful people in northern Xinjiang to pay taxes. Are you going to comply or not?"
The woman looked up at him.
The sergeants behind Pei Jian took a step forward in unison.
"To obey, or not to obey?"
The woman only felt that her lower abdomen was distended and her liver and gallbladder were about to burst. "Submit! Submit!"
"I really want to kill someone to establish my authority!"
Yang Xuan shook his head slightly, a little disappointed.
Then, walked out.
Immediately, the guards followed closely behind.
"It's the Duke!"
The woman looked at Yang Xuan walking over with trembling eyes, "My lord."
"I've met the Duke."
Lin Qian looked pale and saluted.
"I've met the Duke."
Lu Yuan could still remain calm.
"I wonder why this is?" He pointed at Sun Xian who fainted.
"It's honorable to pay taxes, don't you know?" Yang Xuan asked, "Is it not shameful to evade taxes? Shouldn't tax evasion be paid?"
Lu Yuan chuckled and pointed in the direction of Chang'an, "There are so many people in this world!"
"Someone eats shit, why don't you?"
Han Ji's poisonous tongue broke out.
Well!
These words are rough, but wonderful.
Lu Yuan still kept smiling, "Aren't you worried that this move will offend countless powerful people?"
Many people gathered around. They were secretly happy when they saw Sun Xian fainting earlier. They felt that Yang Guogong was indeed our caring person.
But when I heard this now, I couldn't help but feel the pressure doubled.
An old man said: "Doesn't this world belong to them? If they all oppose the Duke, the Duke will be in danger!"
"Stop talking and listen to what the Duke has to say." a woman said.
Yang Xuan pointed at the people, "The root of your question lies in your understanding of the world. Whose world belongs to this world? Some people say that this world is a world of emperors, generals, noble families, and powerful people."
This is common knowledge.
"Isn't it right?"
Lu Yuan smiled.
Common people are not human beings, this is the perception of meat eaters.
They are just tools.
The people looked gloomy, but there was no anger.
"This is how we have been for thousands of years, hey! Just accept your fate!"
The old man sighed.
"yes!"
Yang Xuan looked at these people and thought of the days in Xiaohe Village.
Those villagers worked hard for a year and paid taxes, but in the end they could only make ends meet.
Even so, they still feel that this is a prosperous time.
The village head is a place where old people like to gather and talk about ancient times.
When talking about the present, they all say it is a prosperous time.
When Yang Xuan was a child, he didn't understand, so he asked: "Why is it the prosperous age?"
An old man said: "Son, if people don't starve to death, then the world is prosperous."
oh!
I see!
After leaving Yuanzhou, he saw a bigger world.
"...I saw emperors and generals in Chang'an, the powerful, the powerful, the arrogant and extravagant, but where did it all come from? It came from the hands of the common people."
Yang Xuan frowned, "In other words, the wealth in this world, everything in this world, comes from the hard work of the people. Craftsmen, merchants, farmers, soldiers, all walks of life, are all managed and worked by the people.
But why are the people who created all of this treated as trivial?"
Zitai, you are poking at the lungs of a carnivore... Song Zhen's face changed slightly, and he whispered: "Stop him!"
Han Ji smiled and shook his head, "Only such a heroic person can be Han's lord!"
"The world is sick. Where is the disease? The disease is the greed of meat eaters!"
"If we want to cure this world, what is the prescription?"
Yang Xuan's voice was clear and clear, and his eyes were so deep that people couldn't help but lower their eyes when they saw him, not daring to look at him.
His eyes turned from Lu Yuan to the people.
"My prescription for this world is that the people are like water..."
Hey!
Lu Yuan let out a light sigh, then smiled, "To please the public!"
"You are like a boat!"
Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly, "These are bold words!"
Lin Qian said, "Let's see what he says next."
Yang Xuan said word by word: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it!"
When meat-eaters fail to realize this, the world is not far from collapse.
Look at another world, which dynasties and generations are not like this.
Sun Xian woke up faintly and when he saw Yang Xuan, he cursed: "Bitch...wuwuwu!"
His wife covered his mouth.
"Stop talking."
Yang Xuan came over and said, "I heard that you don't want to pay taxes?"
Pei Jian stood beside Yang Xuan, his breath locked on Sun Xian.
Sun Xian trembled.
Under the pressure of the Lord of Northern Territory, he said in a trembling voice: "Pay it! If the prince of the country says to pay it, the villain will pay it!"
Yang Xuan sighed, "Why is it so difficult to kill someone?"
He turned back.
The eyes of those people were sparkling, they had never been so clear.
The old man said in a trembling voice: "What did the Duke say just now?"
A young man followed Yang Xuan with his eyes and said: "The Duke said that we are the water and the emperor is the boat."
"Oh!" The old man's eyes were slightly red, filled with tears.
The young man continued: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"
The old man felt a heat building up in his chest, and he was eager to find a way out. He wanted to shout, but he couldn't think of what to shout.
He opened his mouth and his lips trembled.
Then.
shouted in a hoarse voice:
"I am willing to die serving my country!"
One by one the people were shouting.
"I am willing to die serving my country!"
Lu Yuan looked slowly, and saw that every face was full of enthusiasm and emotion.
No one has ever taken people so seriously.
In the past, some people have shouted the slogan "people are valuable", but that was just a slogan.
In actual governance, there is no goodwill towards the people.
After Yang Xuan came to Northern Xinjiang, he didn't shout any lofty slogans, but his governance was visible. He always scrutinized every policy that affected the people, lest it harm the people.
Only today has he revealed the basis of his governance.
That is the tone.
civil!
Governance for the people!
Move forward and talk later!
Use actions to verify your policy agenda.
How could the people not sincerely love such a prince?
"I am willing to die serving my country!"
The cheers grew louder and louder.
Lu Yuan's face turned pale, "He, he actually bought people's hearts!"
"I am willing to die serving my country!"
Amid cheers, Yang Xuan walked into the crowd of people.
Song Zhen looked at his back and suddenly felt that it was so harmonious. He couldn't help but said: "How come I feel that Zitai has turned into a fish and entered the water."
Like a fish in water!
"Like a fish in water, this is what Lang Jun requires for the relationship between the government and the people."
Fish can’t live long out of water!
They followed slowly.
"I don't give them much!"
Yang Xuan said sincerely: "But their rewards are so generous."
What can he do?
Work hard and die!
"I am willing to die for my country!"
The cheers spread to another place, where a powerful man was acting mischievously. After hearing the cheers, his expression changed drastically, "I am willing to pay back the taxes!"
The sergeants rushed into the home. The powerful man looked pale and said to his wailing wife: "Listen to the cheers. The momentum has been achieved. What can I do? What can I do!"
His wife looked at the people around her and suddenly felt that these people she had looked down upon in the past were so strange.
"I am willing to die for my country!"
Cheers spread, accompanied by Yang Xuan's words.
The cheers reached the Jiedushi Palace, and Liu Qing, who was scolding the officials, was startled and asked, "Ask."
A clerk went to inquire about it and came back after a while.
"The Duke said in front of the soldiers and civilians of Taoxian County that the people are the water and the king is the boat. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
Liu Qing was so keen that he immediately understood the meaning of these words.
"This is the program of Zitai's governance. Governing for the people! Good! From this, the people's support is with me! Hahahaha!"
The cheers reached the Yang family behind the Jiedushi Mansion.
"Lady!"
Zhang Siniang had just come back from the front yard and was so excited that she wanted to report it.
Yi Niang stood in front and said calmly: "Be steady!"
Zhang Siniang stopped and walked slowly until she reached the outside of the house, "Madam."
Zhou Ning was talking to A Liang and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Siniang suppressed her excitement and said: "Mr. Lang just told the soldiers and civilians of Taoxian County that the people are water and the king is the boat. Water can carry the boat, and it can also capsize it. Everyone outside is boiling and cheering. I would like to be your husband.
Die!"
Even Zhang Siniang knows the significance of this change.
Lang Jun won the hearts of Tao County soldiers and civilians!
As these words spread to all parts of northern Xinjiang.
Northern Xinjiang has become the foundation of Langjun!
Real foundation!
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"
Zhou Ning repeated these words softly, and then said to A Liang: "A Liang."
A Liang leaned against the swordsman, "Ah!"
"You, Aye, have become the king of Northern Xinjiang!"
