Chapter Eighty-Nine: In front of the jade couch court, the friends of the party came to the silver for the traitor (2)

"Good, old woman, good! Your health is the greatest blessing for us as children, you must take good care of your body, you are healthy, and County Magistrate Zhu can serve the people with peace of mind. You should always take care of yourself. With that, he stepped aside from the side. Next, Director Xing Hui stepped forward and grabbed the widow's hand and greeted her, Director Xing was followed by the Director of Real Estate Duo, and after Director Real Estate Duo was several colleagues who came with him, as well as people accompanying the county to greet the eunuch's mother one by one, and stayed until the condolences were completed. Seeing Deputy County Magistrate Hao, who was carrying a big belly, stepped forward again, took the widow's hand and said: "Old aunt, we won't bother you for a long time, it's not too early, we have to go back, your old man takes good care of your body, you must be healthy and healthy, so that County Magistrate Zhu can serve the people with peace of mind, and your old man doesn't have to go out, you sit down, you sit down." As the county magistrate Hao spoke, he helped the widow to the original small table, and the money village stepped forward to help the widow sit down, leaned down, and then said cordially in a woman's unique delicate voice: "Auntie, you must take good care of your body, your old man's health is our great blessing." You can take the medicine on time and strive for a speedy recovery and good health. We'll see you again in a few days. The woman said that she got up and left with everyone, and Ermao dared to look at this woman carefully, Ermao looked at it and thought: Why is this God so unfair, assembling such beautiful parts on her, this woman is too beautiful, that voice, that face, that figure, that trend, there is nothing to find fault with, if this woman lets me enjoy a night, his grandmother's. I'm going to have to eat her. "Ermao!" Ermao was thinking about it when he heard the widow shouting: "Ermao, what are you looking at, why don't you give it away!" ”

"Ahh Yes! Ermao was stunned, and hurriedly followed everyone out, Chen Hong also followed, and walked outside the door, Chen Hong saw a lot of things under the eaves, and thought: "The gifts brought by these people are not put in the house, maybe they are afraid that Aunt Laifu will not accept them when they see it." How much is this pile worth! "Thinking about following the crowd out of the gate, out of the gate. The streets and alleys were full of people, all looking here like birds with their heads out. It turned out that there were five or six brand-new stingy cars lined up in the streets and alleys, and the countrymen who had seen this situation all ran over to see the excitement.

Ermao shook hands with the visitors one by one and said goodbye, and watched them get into the car. Then he stood in front of the gate, with a smile on his face, and bent over and nodded as he watched as the cars drove past the gate one by one and disappeared at the end of the village. Then he glanced at Chen Hong and said, "Let's go, go back to the house." ”

"Not going in. It's time to go home. Chen Hong said that he was about to leave.

"Look at you, I don't know what to think when you're gone. You can't go later. ”

"It's also ha, this will go, Aunt Laifu will definitely be angry. Medium, go. Enter the house. As he spoke, he glanced at the scattered neighbors, turned around and went into the courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Ermao walked to the pile of gifts, smacked his tongue, and said, "Be obedient." Isn't this a move to a grocery store, how much does it cost? As he spoke, he was about to carry it to the house, when he looked down and saw a paper bag. Ermao picked it up with his hand, opened the paper bag casually and was startled, "What?" Chen Hong asked and turned around to take a look, and was also shocked, it turned out that the paper bag contained a wad of money, and Ermao thought that he had never seen so much money. So he returned the money to the paper bag, turned around and went into the house.

Ermao hurriedly walked up to the widow, put the paper bag on the table in front of the widow and said, "Money, money..."

"What's the money?"

"The money left by the people who came to them."

"This bag?"

"Well, there's a gift out there, old man."

The widow listened to Ermao's words, looked at the paper bag on the table again, and her face suddenly became gloomy, from red to white, and from white to iron blue. ”

"Then I'll go and bring the things to the house."

"Hmm."

Ermao walked out of the room stupidly, looked at Chen Hong and stuck out his tongue again, and made a helpless gesture. Then he walked to Chen Hong's side, leaned over to Chen Hong's ear and whispered: "My aunt is angry, let me take the house, don't let me move, and say that I will wait until the eunuch comes back." Get it to the house. With that, he stuck out his tongue again, and made a very sorry look. Then he bent down and took one in one hand and went into the house, entered the house and said, "Auntie, where to put it?" ”

"Put it in my house."

"Good!" Ermao answered the words and walked to the widow's aunt's house, and went into the house to find an empty place to put down the gift in his hand. turned around and walked out again, just turned around to leave, and collided with Chen Hong head-on, almost face to face, mouth to mouth, stomach to belly bumped together, Chen Hong carried two things in both hands, and walked in a hurry, Ermao just turned around and started, and was pressed by Chen Hong's whole body, almost not falling. Ermao subconsciously strained his heel, straightened his chest and pushed Chen Hong back. Chen Hong took a step back, and scolded with a smile: "You don't have eyes, don't you have eyes?" ”

"No, the eyes are in the crotch." After that, he walked around Chen Hong with a smile and went out.

Ermao and Chen Hong repeated several times before they finished taking the things outside, and when it was over, Ermao walked to the widow and said, "It's done." ”

"Well, then you go to the market now and call the eunuchs, and say that I am dying, let him come back quickly." After that, he took out a strip from his pocket and put it in front of Ermao.

"Eh, look at what my aunt says, how unlucky. Then I'll go, I'll go now. Then he said to Chen Hong. Let's go, push your bicycle and I'll ride it. ”

"Medium." Chen Hong walked out of the house in response to the words, and Ermao also walked out.

When I got to the gate, I heard Chen Hong say: "Don't say that everyone is vying to be an official, take a look, look at that big thing, there are everything, some of them I haven't even seen." Listen to the aunt's meaning to go back? ”

"I'm afraid that's what it means. Eh, that's a shame. Ermao said regretfully: "It's a pity, if we don't retreat, we can still taste it." ”

"As far as your turtle grandson has a delicious mouth, you still don't understand what your aunt means, your aunt must be afraid that accepting these things will affect her son's official." Chen Hong made a very clear look.

"As long as you can, as long as you know, I don't know anything. I just felt like it was a pity to quit. Chen Hong, did you see the big box and small box of things you were carrying just now, you haven't even seen it on our episode. ”

"Really, I also feel that it is a pity to retreat. Or you can taste it on the side. Saying that, the old man with his tongue sticking out, smiled and made a grimace at Ermao, and the two of them walked and talked to Chen Hong's house, Chen Hong reached out and pushed the door open and turned sideways to let Ermao enter the courtyard.

Ermao pushed a bicycle out of Chen Hong's house, walked into the street, jumped up, rode a bicycle and ran out of the village.

When I arrived at the set, I found the post office, entered the business hall of the post office, and walked towards the phone number of the post office.

Ermao walked to the counter. I looked at the clerk at the post office and handed over the note in my hand. said, "Give me a call." ”

The salesman took Ermao's note, didn't look at Ermao, picked up the phone and dialed according to the number on the note. Soon the other party connected the phone, and the salesman casually handed the microphone to Ermao. Just call the other party a girl's voice "Hey, where?" ”

"Hey, I'm looking for County Magistrate Zhu, County Magistrate Zhu Eunchen."

"Ahh Here it is, but he's not at home! ”

"Oh, oh, can you tell him? I'm from his hometown. ”

"Ahh Then you say! ”

"You tell him. He's sick, tell him to come back soon. ”

"Eh," the other party's voice suddenly changed, and became so kind! Good! The old man is sick. It doesn't matter, right? Didn't our director go to see her? Okay, okay, I'll tell County Magistrate Zhu right away, and I'll definitely tell you. ”

"It doesn't matter. It's just a little uncomfortable, and you tell him to take the time to come back. ”

"Good, good. I tell you by all means. Anything else? ”

"No more. Thank you, hang up. Ermao hung up the phone, paid the money, and turned to leave.

When I got home, I saw the widow and aunt sitting motionless at the table smoking a cigarette with a blushing face. Ermao looked at the ashtray on the table and it was already full of cigarette butts, Ermao looked at it and picked up the ashtray casually and walked out.

Ermao poured the ashes, came back and put the ashtray in front of the widow, and then took a small stool and sat down opposite the widow.

"Whatever you're afraid of, there's something to be afraid of. I didn't sleep all night last night, because I was afraid that one day my simple child would not be able to eat this sugar-coated cannonball, and the attack would be defeated on this official road. The widow didn't look at Ermao, as if she was talking to herself, "The official road is dangerous!" Ermao, I'm like a mirror in my heart, I'm worried! As she spoke, tears rolled in her eyes and ran down the corners of her eyes. In this world, the official road is full of thorns, people's hearts are sinister, and ravines are criss-crossed. It's not that my son is greedy, it's just that the law is incomplete! ”

"Auntie, don't think too much. My brother is not that person. ”

"Ermao! You know there, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. People's hearts are the same, no one is afraid of money, which is why people are born to need food and clothing. People's desire for needs is the same, it is innate, and there is no distinction between high and low, nor between high and low. But whoever seeks profit and profit, there is no one who has too much in his heart. Everyone is seeking as much as possible, and there is no one who is full of money who does not take it, and everyone is like this, no matter how high or low you are in education, whether you are high or low, whether you are high or low, and grow up in any environment, everyone is like this. What is the reason? The reason is that needs are innate. Then, how much you get, or how much you should get, is managed and distributed by rules, and is not freely acquired by the desires of the heart. If the wealth in this world is left to a person to obtain, then the desire in his heart will not be self-sufficient to fill the world, and only the norms and systems that stifle the desire will be stifled. A bureaucrat, whether it comes from the promotion or from the imperial examination system, has the same responsibility, no matter what ideology you are an official, your duty is to serve the people, then you serve the people, and the people will formulate rules and systems to repay your service, and the reward is drawn from the wealth of the people. The amount of remuneration comes from the quality of your services, and by no means in a fixed mode, formulaic to give an official the right to freely obtain benefits. That is to say, an official, through the establishment of an institution, is selected from the crowd, and this selection may be recommended by the crowd or the imperial examination system, the selection of officials in the West comes from the recommendation of the people, and the officials of the East come from the imperial examination system.

Looking at the official selection system in the East and the West, the imperial examination system of the Oriental people is the root cause of corruption. The reason is that when a rule prescribes a fixed return, the quality of the service is no longer a measure. In layman's terms, when the bureaucracy becomes a fixed model, the distribution of the interests of the people is no longer the inevitable responsibility of the bureaucracy to seek fairness and justice. Of course, there is no need for officials to work day and night to protect the interests of the people. Because there is a solidified pattern of interests, there are goals that can be pursued, and officials have a clear goal, so naturally they do not have to work for the distribution of interests of the people, but only need to struggle towards the fixed interest goal, when they obtain this interest position through the imperial examination system, it is not the interests of the people who drive him, but their own higher interest goals, and obtain greater personal interests from this higher position. This is the fundamental reason why the people at the top of the centralized power under the feudal royal system are still corrupt and insatiable. The Qing Dynasty's Heshen is the best example of this.

In the depths of the human soul, it is not the desire to win, and in terms of human nature, people do not have such noble sentiments. If everyone has a calm heart, then the society will have no driving force to move forward, and the society will not be able to progress, and if everyone has no selfish desires, there will be no accumulation of surplus value, no pursuit, no motivation to create value, and there will be no modern developed social culture.

It is precisely because everyone has selfish desires, and there is sufficient motivation to create wealth, that society will continue to progress, wealth accumulation will continue to increase, and it is a reasonable system that mobilizes all positive consciousness to release people's desire to pursue selfish desires, rather than a fixed mode of imprisonment.

When vested interests take control of the bureaucracy, the bureaucracy's fixed-income model becomes the goal pursued by the bureaucracy, and the public interest is ignored. As a result, the officials will naturally form an interest group, and this group of interests will be embarrassed to seek the greatest interests of each other. Because there are higher interests in this that drive them to fight, and this interest group has a firewall, when a new force wants to enter this group, what do you use to break this firewall, only interests. That is, to exchange a small part of the money for most of the benefits, and whoever this benefit is in the hands of people like eunuchs.

Ermao! You may not understand what your aunt says. That's why I wanted the eunuch to come back just now. I have to let him see, let him deal with this matter, let him understand this truth, as for whether he can be a clean official, it depends on his cultivation. Alas. When the widow said this, she lifted up her garment and wiped the corners of her eyes, and cast her eyes on the door with a heavy heart, and her face was gloomy, and she fell into deep thought again.

Ermao looked at the widow and aunt, didn't dare to speak, and saw that it was not early, so he got up and walked to the kitchen.

The dusk in front of the jade couch court,

Friends come to the silver for traitors.

Hanlin laughs and often introduces,

Soon he was in prison. (To be continued......)
