No matter what these officials did before, they are now moving towards the goal in Li Zicheng's heart, Li Zicheng is still happy, this training, he is not to punish anyone, but to let the officials understand that in the new situation, in the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army, how to be an official in the future.

Always grasp their past mistakes, go down with a knife, and get rid of a hundred, maybe they are in a happy mood, but who does Longyou rely on to govern? It's not the officials who betrayed him, it's he who will lose them!

The officials must have been greedy for ink before, and according to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, the big officials are greedy, and the small officials are greedy, and whoever cuts off their heads, they don't want them.

However, that is the matter of the Ming Dynasty, the laws of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion do not have retroactive effect, and only by freeing them from their original sin can they easily go into battle and truly serve the Mandate of Heaven.

Maybe this is "not broken, not standing, breaking and then standing", right?

Li Zicheng can not pursue their past crimes, but he must not forgive them for continuing to commit crimes, this training is to let them understand that the situation is different, the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion is different from the Ming Dynasty, if anyone else is bold and reckless, committing crimes against the wind, the butcher's knife of the Mandate of Heaven Army, is definitely not afraid of blood!

Seeing that everyone was almost talking, Li Zicheng waved his hand and asked them to pause, "You are all people who have read the books of sages, how to be an official, not to look at words, the key is to act, you see, divide the fields, run factories, distribute seeds and farm tools, everything that the Mandate of Heaven has done, which is not for the sake of the people?" ”

Everyone nodded, but they didn't dare to speak, perhaps thinking about their usual behavior.

"The military discipline of the Mandate of Heaven Army, I think you also know, let the people 'have food, clothing, housing, and land', 'don't take a stitch from the people', the governor of Pontus also wants you to supervise, if there are soldiers who infringe on the interests of the people for no reason, the governor of Pontus will not spare it," Li Zicheng said: "Of course, you are the same, if anyone does not take the people to heart, and is bent on seeking personal gain, he, as an official, does not need to be an official!" ”

When everyone saw Li Zicheng's sudden change of color, they were all panicked in their hearts, and asked themselves, who didn't have ......

However, if you think about the military discipline of the Mandate of Heaven Army, many of them are related to the people, and the Mandate of Heaven Army abides by military discipline, and I have never seen it with my own eyes, and there is a soldier who dares to violate military discipline and infringe on the people......

No wonder the hearts of the people are filled with the Mandate of Heaven!

Not only are the thieves incomparable, but also the army of the imperial court......

In addition to nodding, the officials did not dare to speak, lest Li Zicheng would be named and turned out of the old accounts.

Li Zicheng saw that he was bluffing everyone, so he changed his face, "Everyone, you are the parents of the people, you represent the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, and you are in charge of all the people on the earth, for so long, can't you see how the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion and the Mandate of Heaven Army treat the people on the earth?" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor, his subordinates used to be confused, but now they finally understand, and their subordinates will definitely have all the people in their hearts......"

"Listening to the words of the Metropolitan Governor is better than reading the book of sages for ten years!"

"My subordinates will care more about the people in the future, and as long as I have free time, my subordinates will often go to the fields for a walk!"

……

"That's right!" Li Zicheng glanced at the unknown official with a smile, "Only by staying with the people can you know the ups and downs of the people. ”

"The subordinates have learned!"

"There is another question, that is, your Yulu," Li Zicheng said lightly: "Do you think that the current Yulu is enough?" ”

The hundred officials looked at each other, and they didn't dare to speak for a while, not knowing what Li Zicheng meant, they all looked at Li Zicheng blankly, hoping to send some information from his face.

"If you don't speak, it's too low," Li Zicheng said lightly: "Yes, your Yulu is very low, taking Zhixian as an example, there are only five stones per month, and only sixty stones a year, which is equivalent to three taels of silver." ”

"The Grand Governor, my subordinates don't mean that......"

Li Zicheng stretched out his hand to stop the official, and said: "The governor of the city knows that your salary is indeed very low, from now on, the official's income is compared to the Ming Dynasty, the county is seven and a half stones per month, and the prefect is twenty-four stones. ”

"Ah...... Thank you, my subordinates! Everyone didn't need to discuss, and knelt down in front of Li Zicheng.

"Get up quickly," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "I know, even if this standard is implemented, Yulu is still not high, but have you ever thought about how much the people of Longyou earn in a month?" ”

“……”

"I'll tell you," Li Zicheng said with a calm face: "A soldier's monthly salary is half a tael, and a worker's monthly salary is also half a tael, while ordinary people, cultivating thirty acres of land, when the wind and rain are good, can harvest forty-five stones, excluding taxes, there are still forty-two stones, three and a half stones per month, which is converted into a fine one, about two stones," paused, and said: "This is still the result of the people's family going into battle...... What if it's a disaster year? ”

“……”

"Maybe some of you are saying that they are the people, and their income should be lower," Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "Everyone is raised by their fathers and mothers, in this world, who is not more noble than others, the nobles in the palace, when they encounter thieves, they will go down with a knife, and they will also 'click' two ......."

"The Grand Governor," Mei Zhihuan suddenly left his seat and prostrate on the ground, "The subordinates can't use up so much Yulu, and the subordinates ask for a lower Yulu!" ”

"The subordinate requests to lower the salary!" All the officials knelt down in front of Li Zicheng.

"Let's all get up," Li Zicheng said lightly: "The governor of Bendu doesn't think you are high, the governor of Bendu tells you that people should be content, if people's hearts are not satisfied, no matter how much they have, it is not enough to spend, marry a few more concubines, and have a few more children......"

After everyone got up, they fell to the seats, and they didn't dare to play tricks with Li Zicheng anymore, they looked at Li Zicheng blankly, waiting to continue training.

Li Zicheng said lightly: "Now do you know what the mission of the Heavenly Mandate Army is when it comes to this world? ”

"Helping the people?"

"Yes," Li Zicheng said: "The Mandate of Heaven Army and the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion are in the same line, adhering to God's will, and taking it as their mission to save the people of the world!" ”

"Ah...... The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will keep it in mind! ”

Today's training, Li Zicheng completely off-script, he used the form of a conversation, telling the officials that the Heavenly Mandate Army exists to save the common people in the world, since it is an official under the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Office, either keep up with the pace of the Heavenly Mandate Army, or leave the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army, the two cannot coexist.

After the training, Li Zicheng asked the officials to go back in the evening to find out the shortcomings in their daily work and their future work ideas.

The three days passed quickly, although it was not long, but when the officials left, Li Zicheng saw a completely different team of officials.

If these officials were still working according to their previous habits, then after this training, they already have new goals and directions, at least in the mainstream, they have been in tune with the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Office. It is impossible for all officials to be honest and self-disciplined, as long as they grasp the general direction.

Liu Kui, Li Jia, Wang Gui, and Zuo Gua carefully sorted out the speech script of Li Zicheng's actual lecture and handed it to Li Zicheng, "Dadu Governor, this is the speech we have sorted out, I don't know if there is any omission......

Li Zicheng said lightly: "I don't know if there is any omission in the speech, but I missed a very important content!" ”

"The Governor ......"

"Law," Li Zicheng said, "They are the chief officials of the prefectures and counties, if they don't know the laws promulgated by the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, how can they govern on weekdays?" ”

"Subordinates understood!" Liu Kui took back the script, wrote the word "law" on the front blank, and handed it to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "The script, you can keep it!" ”

"Ah...... The Metropolitan Governor ...... "The four of them don't know why, they look at each other, but they are staring at each other with big eyes.

"Haha, don't you understand?" Li Zicheng laughed, "This time, I will personally give a lecture on the training of officials, but I may not be in Lanzhou, even if I am in Lanzhou, I may not have time to teach." ”

Liu Kui seemed to understand something, "What does the Metropolitan Governor mean, is it for us to teach?" ”

"That's right," Li Zicheng praised, "This time I asked you to follow me, so that you can understand the content of the teaching, understand the development direction of the Heavenly Mandate Governor's Mansion, and of course, you must also be familiar with the laws of the Heavenly Mandate Governor's Mansion, and your knowledge is complete, so that you can teach in the future." ”

Liu Kui's right hand scratched his hair, "Metropolitan Governor...... But they are all officials from all over the place, and their subordinates are ......."

"What are officials afraid of?" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "The officials are scattered all over the place, and it is difficult to completely study the various systems and laws of the Heavenly Mandate Army, you first learn all the knowledge well, and then teach them to you," he patted Liu Kui's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, in this world, people are the same, and no one is more noble than us!" ”

"Subordinate...... Liu Kui suddenly straightened his chest, "The Metropolitan Governor is right, his subordinates are not nobler than these people...... No, no, subordinates are as noble as these people......"

Li Zicheng laughed and pointed at the four of them in turn with his hand, "That's right, in these aspects, you are the teachers of the officials." ”

"Subordinates get it!" The four of them saluted Li Zicheng in unison to show their gratitude.

Li Zicheng said: "On weekdays, you study more laws, go out and walk around more, and carefully observe the world with your own eyes. ”

"We will take to heart the teachings of the Grand Governor!" Hearing that a high school was about to be established and that they would serve as teachers, the four of them were very excited, and it was a great honor to become teachers for officials from all over the world......
