Chapter 706: Slowly Change

The management of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, is only at the county level, and below the county level, are handed over to the management of the township elders, which is also a kind of laissez-faire in disguise, but those township elders are not elected by the people, but monopolized by the local powerful landlords.

Although LΓΌ Shi's formulation does not seem to have changed from the situation at that time, it is precisely the election of the people themselves that is essentially different from the situation at that time.

"The rule of inaction is not to restore the kind of injustice of antiquity. Let me be clear about this first. Seeing Mr. Zhao Zi's excited look, Lu Shi was the first to clarify his views and extinguish his unrealistic literati fantasy: "What I want is to have a degree when we govern the people's places, that is, to measure what we should do and what we should not do." ”

For this degree of words, now everyone still can't understand and accept, then, Lu Shi had to continue to explain: "Our inaction is when we control the general direction, delegating power to the locality, delegating power to the people, rather than everything we have to manage, in fact, some things, we manage out of good intentions, but it is counterproductive, so, then, do we still need to manage?" ”

Looking at everyone's thoughtful looks, Lu Shi said again: "We, as long as we manage the general direction, let the people adjust the rest, this is what we should do, in this way, we reduce the officials, it will reduce our administrative costs in disguise, so that the people's needs will be less, and the people's needs will be less, then, we can let the people have a surplus, this is a virtuous circle, at this time, we will really realize the wealth of the people." ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were already full of longing, Lu Shi corrected and explained at the time: "Of course, this fact will not be manifested for a while, but what about ten or even twenty years, hundreds of years later? Then, our good policy will reveal its benefits, and at that time, our people under heaven will be rich, so who will rebel? At that time, once the country had something to do, as long as it was discussed with the people, what was the crisis of logistics and food? ”

Lu Shi thought of the future generations at this time, in fact, the later generations of Lu Shi's life were really happy, there were no wars, no disputes, no absolute contradictions, only ruthless tax oppression, so that everyone who did business faced endless managers, almost 30 percent or even more taxes, a potato was only a few cents after the peasant production, but in the city, it was a few dozen yuan, so where did these price differences go? Not stripped of the surplus by middlemen, but plundered by taxes, and where do these taxes end up? It was just absorbed by the so-called civil servants who were supported by the endless government. In fact, what is a chengguan responsible for? He is responsible for too much, health, transportation, urban construction, industry and commerce, sanitation, and public security law enforcement, Lu Shi doesn't understand one thing, since the chengguan will manage all these, and the chengguan is needed, what other units are needed? Doesn't that overlap? But that world needs to overlap, endless overlap, because, that world has too many rentier classes to feed, so what do these other units care? In fact, all they have to do is stamp and charge, isn't this actually superfluous? Isn't this for the people to provide?

In Lu Shi's world, a very simple survey illustrates this - the entire management class already needs to support one out of every ten people, which is really thanks to the developed society, otherwise, it would have been revealed long ago.

Again, we don't need clan chiefs, we don't need the heads of large landlords as candidates, even those patriarchs and landlords who are called good people in the local area. We must not allow the strong to manage the weak, once such a situation occurs, then in the future, our people will have to go back to the old way, therefore, this bottom line, we must strictly abide by. Lu Shi once again emphasized his original rules, and said firmly: "This is a matter of principle, and it must not be changed." ”

This point, everyone understands, now, it is the people who support this government, and it is these people who will win a national victory in the future and overthrow this dark and corrupt court.

"But what if those people everywhere are forced to choose a patriarch due to the oppression of local clan forces?" Chen Ce asked worriedly: "After all, the clan power is deeply rooted in everyone's hearts, once they don't elect their patriarch, they will immediately be regarded as deviant and traitors by the people in each clan, and they will be suppressed by the people of the whole clan." ”

Even if Lu Shi tried his best to split the clan, and did not hesitate to do something radical for this reason, the power of the clan was too strong in this era, and the clan had too much influence in the hearts of the people at that time for thousands of years, especially in this troubled era, the clan could give the people a little sense of security, and as a result, Lu Shi's policy collapsed in front of this stubborn force.

"Also, even if we elect the village chief and village elders recognized by the people, they will slowly bow to them under the oppression of powerful landlords and clan chiefs, at that time, how will our policy be implemented?" These are all real problems, and this is a problem that cannot be avoided, so Chen Ce raised it together.

These things were proposed by Chen Ce, not that Chen Ce's ability was mediocre, and there was no way to do anything, but that these things were not originally in this world at all, this is some brand new problem, a problem that transcends the times, it is not at all what people in this era can think of, and it cannot be resolute, such as Chen Ce, the shortcomings of the period can be seen at the beginning of the introduction of Lu Shi's new method, it can be seen that Chen Ce's ability is absolutely very strong, or it will not be that when Lu Shi concentrates on foreign wars, the base area is still too peaceful and stable, The rear is in good order.

"That's a good question." Lu Shi affirmed Chen Ce's question, and then began to explain: "First, our election will be a sea election, with secret ballots, well-" Lu Shi thought that at this time, illiteracy still accounted for 99% of the phenomenon in various places, so he thought of the method of throwing beans in the sea bowl, so he said this simple but practical method, so this simple method was immediately recognized by everyone.

"Second, we still promote the method of our disabled brothers going down to be the most basic militia captains, and in terms of force, ensure the stability of our basic political power, and ensure that the village chiefs and village elders elected by the people have absolute prestige and security." This method has been widely implemented in the base areas, not only to strengthen public order in various places, to stabilize the base areas, at the same time, but also for those disabled brothers to find a good home, this is a matter of almost the United States, this has not only been praised by the civilian clique, but also has been vigorously supported by the army, in the base area has been faintly separated from the two civil and military groups, has become a good link of communication, therefore, so that the history of the civil and military groups that have always been incompatible, rare emergence of water ** The phenomenon of fusion, here, although there is Lu Shi's personality charm, but the placement method of this disabled veteran also plays a great relationship.

"Also, we have to establish a patrol system, that is, the eight mansion patrols that everyone often sees in the script, hehe, we send some people to patrol the place at any time, one to correct mistakes, and the other to strictly investigate." Of course, this proposal was approved, and Lu Shi saw Zhao Xing's eyes full of eagerness, so he hurriedly explained: "But this right is no longer Zhao Xing's prison sergeant, but by Mr. Zhao Zi's legal department." β€œ

Seeing Zhao Xing's disappointment, Lu Shi was also helpless.

Zhao Xing has absolute loyalty to himself, but Zhao Xing's sergeant is actually a kind of thing between the KGB and the Jinyi Guard, to put it bluntly, it is a kind of secret agency.

Spy will never be on the table, especially, the excessive spy mechanism often makes a regime go to dictatorship, which is the last thing Lu Shi wants to see, and now, Zhao Xing's sergeant has dangerously gone in that direction, and their hand has been stretched too long.

"The government should set up a separate inspection body, or rather a supervision body, which is not managed by anyone, and has three levels of official rank, so as to ensure that our officials are not dependent on the power of the landlords, but are genuinely afraid of the people and the policies of our government.

Lu Shi opened his mind, and the brothers immediately began to discuss and improve their babbling, and at this time, Lu Shi leaned against the door frame and smiled at the brothers' discussion. I can't help but feel proud again, I have traveled through history, and only at this time I have a real sense of achievement, I have not only changed the fate of many people, including the people, including the relatives around me, and even those enemies, but it is all helpless to be pushed and forced to move forward, and now, this is the method that I took the initiative and implemented - primary democracy. And the real bottom-up real election of complete democracy, in this era do not even think about it, that requires the people to have absolute wisdom and insight, an absolute high degree of cultural foundation can be implemented, but just implemented by their own primary democracy, this is a seed, in this feudal world, has been quietly buried in the hearts of the majority of the people, as long as this seed is buried, it will slowly sprout and grow, will blossom and bear fruit in the future, and at that time, history will truly affirm itself and re-evaluate itself.

Leaving a name in history, that is the real sense of the name.
