The warm winter wind, mixed with the shining and warm sunshine, ran in happily after Lu Shi opened the door of the hall, driving away the dull and filthy atmosphere in the whole hall, the pot of charcoal fire, also got fresh oxygen, emitted a continuous crackling, burning more vigorously, everyone in this sudden freshness, the already dizzy mind was awakened by this freshness, and immediately refreshed.

Zhao Zi looked at Chen Ce, Chen Ce exchanged glances with him, and then, they stood up together, and bowed deeply to King Lu Shichuang, who looked even taller in the sunlight at the door.

"God's favor, let us get King Chuang, God's favor, let us see King Chuang's mind, let us know our mistakes, the direction we still need to work on, just King Chuang's deafening teaching, we will organize manpower, spread it thoroughly, let each of us remember, understand, all-"

"Stop, stop." Lu Shi panicked. It's not because the two gentlemen he respects the most give him a salute, but what do they mean by saying it all over the world? Isn't that just another quote?

This is unacceptable, because Lu Shi is deeply aware of the dangers of personality cults in later generations.

There are pros and cons to the cult of personality, but in fact, it definitely does more harm than good.

What is the mission of the Traverser? In fact, it is not to claim hegemony, not to have three wives and four concubines, but to revise history, yes, to amend, not to revise, during this period, including the god-making and blind obedience mentality in the bones of the Chinese, which is the biggest harm, from Confucius to Mao Taizu.

stopped Chen Ce and Zhao Zi's praise, and Lu Shi changed the topic again. "Actually, it is not impossible to use the existing manpower to manage this Noda place, I want to test it to see if I can make my ideal - the official is no longer the master, but really becomes the servant - this concept can be realized in this ancient land."

As soon as this is mentioned,. Chen Ce and Zhao Zi immediately came to their senses, stretched their necks and listened carefully, for fear of missing a little.

And Guo Tianxing, who had always had a headache in this area, simply moved his chair to the door, stretched his legs to the threshold, folded his arms, and squinted his eyes to bask in the sun.

Wu Tao, who tried his best to avoid being contaminated with government affairs, also carefully straightened his ears at this time, hoping to listen carefully.

"In fact, the so-called officials are not distributed, not because we have too few people, but because we want to manage too much." Lu Shi paced and said his opinion.

"This-" Zhao Zi and Chen Ce glanced at each other, but they were a little confused, what? Is it natural for officials to manage everything, the people have to take care of it, and they must manage it well in order to have a peaceful world of peace and security for the country and the people, or it is not called the pastoral side. Now, due to our lack of manpower, there are many things that can't be managed, why is King Chuang still saying that we are too much to manage?

Lu Shi looked at the incomprehensible and indignant expressions of these two old officials, and explained with a smile: "Come, let's give an example now, so that our affairs are more straightforward. ”

Then he smiled at the third uncle beside him and said, "Third uncle, now I'm going to invite everyone to have a meal at lunchtime, is this feasible?" ”

"Of course, it's your business to invite them to dinner, as long as it doesn't cost the government's money, you can ask them to do anything." Of course, the third uncle is happy with his son, and King Chuang can get together with his old brother more, which will make his position more stable.

"Okay." Lu Shi clapped his hands, and said with a smile, "I will invite everyone to have a potato and rabbit meat feast, especially the Great Commander Tianxing, whose eyes have been narrowed and a little drowsy in the warm winter sunshine." ”

As soon as these words came out, he immediately received a burst of boos, and Guo Tianxing began to vomit loudly in an exaggerated manner.

Lu Shi asked with a surprised expression: "What's the matter, I invite everyone to eat the special potato roasted rabbit from our base, isn't it good?" ”

Guo Tianxing immediately protested on behalf of everyone: "You pull it down, potato?" Kill me, or I'll kill myself. ”

The noise began, and everyone began to complain about the sin of potatoes, of course, forgetting that if there were no potatoes, the base area would not have been able to survive the difficulties.

"Let's pause the criticism of potatoes and rabbits, and let our king finish speaking." Wu Tao was anxious that everyone would digress again, because he knew that his king would never take out this matter for no reason.

Speaking of which, although Wu Tao avoids suspicion, but in the entire base group, it is precisely because of Wu Tao's character that makes him more popular, although the civil official group continues to grow, but Wu Tao still sits firmly in the position of the three positions of course, and no one can shake this position, even Chen Ce and Zhao Xing.

Lu Shi laughed, and then said on his own topic: "Potatoes and rabbits have made our base area through the difficulties, and at the same time, they have also made great contributions to the industrial development of our base area, which we cannot avoid." ”

Everyone knows this, disgusting is disgusting, but the credit of potatoes and rabbits is unavoidable, otherwise, the economic taxation of the base areas would not be so vibrant.

"But then?" Lu Shi turned to ask.

As soon as Chen Ce was asked this, he immediately looked ashamed.

Yes, then the truth is a little out of control, potatoes are easy to say, although the output is huge, although all kinds of factories with potatoes as raw materials can not be completely digested, but after all, there are a large number of displaced people and now the whole Shaanxi new people can help digest, but, those crazy rabbits are simply a headache.

Now, the rabbit as a raw material factory has overcapacity, can not digest at all, and the army has begun to hate this meat meal, the most important thing is that the output of rabbits is still in a steady stream, and reduce the purchase price of rabbits, then, those who raise rabbits will lose money, now, the output has spent a part of the precious time to think about this problem.

"What is the reason?" Lu Shi asked seductively.

"yes, why?" Chen Ce and other civil officials began to ask suspiciously.

"Because we're too wide, too many." Then, regardless of everyone's doubts, he carefully analyzed: "We used our government's means to promote these two high-yield and low-cost things. In that special situation at that time, there was no way to lose, the achievement. But. Lu Shi changed his words. However, we seem to have become accustomed to this management model and method, and as a result, we are still asking for everyone to expand rabbit breeding, and the result is that this situation has emerged. Looking at the resentful eyes of the old ladies, Lu Shi smiled apologetically, and then everyone present continued: "Actually, we don't need to spend energy and manpower to manage this matter at all, everything is left to the people to do it themselves, so what is the situation?" ”

After a slight pause, he saw that there was no answer, so he continued: "In fact, it is very simple, that is, when making money, people naturally go to breeding or planting, and once they don't make money, everyone will naturally reduce their output, and what about sales?" The same is true, when the price is low, the shrewd people in the people naturally want to digest them, and once the price is expensive, everyone will naturally think of other ways to let them still make money, which is not better than we are using the means of the government, gritting their teeth to buy, and the people are still gritting their teeth to produce? ”

This question was raised by everyone for a while, but slowly someone turned around.

"Yes." Lu Shi said firmly: "Actually, there are some things that we don't have to take care of at all, and we can't manage them well, so we can do bad things with good intentions, and those things are handed over to the market, to the price, to the supply and demand, in fact, it is just to be handed over to the people to do it themselves." ”

Looking at Chen Ce's unwillingness and Zhao Zi's suddenness, Lu Shi continued: "Actually, what our government should do is to grasp the law, the army, and taxes, and we will be responsible for planning the general direction and policies, and the rest will conform to the situation and let the people manage themselves." ”

"This is Lao Tzu's rule of inaction." Zhao Zi has a kind of yearning murmur, rule by doing nothing, this is the world that many scholars and doctors yearn for, and it is the world that the ancient sages have done and succeeded.

Lu Shi said with a smile: "It can also be said that in fact, it is even more like what we said in our city gate declaration, the officials are no longer managing the people, but serving the people." ”

was mentioned again in the city gate declaration, everyone's eyes really lit up, yes, isn't this a scene in the beautiful world that King Chuang planned for everyone at the beginning? Isn't that what everyone is trying to achieve?

Now that I think about it, I did do it at the beginning, but now that I think about it, with the expansion of time and territory, some people have slowly become accustomed to enjoying rights, enjoying pointing fingers at the people, and enjoying the people's obedience to themselves.

"In the vast majority of things, we should not stretch out our hands too long, that will suppress the enthusiasm of the people, we must believe in the wisdom and ability of the people."

"However, we still have to manage, otherwise there will be disorder." Chen Ce said worriedly.

"Yes, leniency and severity are the main road, and it is impossible to manage too much, and simply ignore it." Lu Shi affirmed Chen Ce's concerns. "Then, we let the people elect their own managers, elect their direct managers, not the hypothetical people we parachuted in, those who talk and pat their heads, those who are elected, are the most intimate people of the people, they know best what our people need, what they want to do the most, so they are also the most likely to provide us with first-hand information, let us know what to do for the people and what not to do."

Taking a deep breath, Lu Shi smiled and asked Chen Ce: "If this is the case, then do we still lack management talents?" ”

(I don't want to say too much about this paragraph of inaction, because I haven't thought about it either, after all, my talent is limited, and I'm not a thinker, hehe.) ）
