I'd rather be a friend of the scene, but I don't want to accept a recommendation as an official.

Liu Xian Ling felt that Li Xiao was disdainful of being an official, after all, the people of the time still valued the cleanliness of the officials, and looked down on the turbidity of the officials, and some people thought that it would be difficult to enter the clear stream once they entered the turbidity.

"Since this is the case, then a certain will no longer be forced, and in the future, he will take Saburo as his friend. It's just that I hope San Lang can help a lot. ”

"Do your best."

Li Xiao and Liuxian Ling took the initiative to make three chapters of the law, which roughly means that although he is willing to be a friend of Liuxian Ling, he will not follow Liuxian Ling to the county office, nor will he live in Liuxian Ling's house, Li Xiao still stays in Lanxi, and he is still free.

Secondly, Li Xiao gave advice to the Liuxian order, but he did not use the Liuxian order to pay the salary, even if it was a free consultation. Then, Li Xiao did not call Liu County Commander the main, neither called him Dongweng nor called him Shangguan, and only talked about his seniority.

For all this, Liu Qi should be all under it.

He came to Lanxi, and he didn't really ask Li Xiao to be his staff, although he would still be very happy if Li Xiao was willing to go, but it didn't matter if he didn't come, as long as Li Xiao was willing to tell him how to do well in Lanxi, it was enough.

Liu County Ling sincerely begged each other, and Li Xiao did not hide it.

In the living room, guests and hosts sit opposite each other.

A pot of honeysuckle tea was brewed, and incense was lit.

Liu County's order asked sincerely, and Li Xiao also said it clearly.

Li Xiaozhi said everything about how to fight drought and provide disaster relief, and he also seriously pointed out the importance of the villagers' self-government organizations in the fight against drought.

"San Lang, you speak slowly, take a pen and paper and copy it down one by one."

The more Liu Xianling listened, the more he felt that there was content, and he originally thought that things might be relatively simple, but after listening to it for a long time, he was already very impressed in his heart.

"You can summarize it for the envoy and write a piece of paper." Li Xiao said with a smile, then took a pen and paper, and wrote it down concisely and concisely according to his own thoughts.

While writing, Li Xiao explained, pointing out what is the key and what is secondary.

Liu Xianling nodded and listened, occasionally pointing out doubts and asking a few words.

Several people who came with Liu Xian Ling were sitting under the porch outside the living room, and among them were also Liu Xian Ling's friends, who were also knowledgeable, although they were far away, they could hear almost clearly.

At this time, they sat under the porch and listened, and from time to time looked back into the hall, and it was the first time they had seen such a young mountain villager who could say these things one by one.

And Liu County's listening attitude is also rare.

Long.

Finish a pot of tea.

Li Xiao's hands were also a little sour, and his throat was a little dry, and he finally finished copying and speaking.

"If there is anything else you don't understand, if so, I will explain it in detail."

Liu Xianling closed his eyes and thought about it, read the entire strip in his heart, then opened his eyes, took the ink from Li Xiao's hand with a smile and read it carefully.

After reading it, he beckoned the two friends under the corridor to come in.

"You should have heard it clearly just now, what do you think you don't understand about San Lang's statement, you can say it, and let San Lang explain it to you again."

The two friends are old people who have followed Liuxian Ling for many years, and they are even the old guests of the Liu family in Hedong, with rich experience in general affairs, and they have always helped Liuxian Ling a lot, and they are regarded as their right-hand man by Liuxian Ling.

This is also the power of many officials from famous families today, these children of the family received a strict education from an early age, learned literature and martial arts, and even began to contact some practical affairs when they were young. After they are appointed officials, the family will also arrange for a few reliable elderly people in the family, or guests of the family, to serve as his staff and assist him in his affairs.

This is much better than those officials who came from poor backgrounds, ignored things outside the window and only read the books of sages, and then finally became officials with the title of the gold list, but they didn't understand anything when they arrived in the place. In the Song and Ming dynasties, when the imperial examination was developed, officials were also the most hollowed out by officials.

Officials can elevate officials, and it is precisely because many officials can only read books and do not know how to manage government affairs at all, and they rely on their subordinates for everything they do, so it is naturally easy to overhead them. After the Ming and Qing dynasties, the master prevailed, and it was precisely because the officials did not understand that the officials were easy to override the officials, so the officials finally had to hire their own masters to help themselves.

The two staff, one usually helps Liu County Order to take care of Qian Valley, and the other takes care of the criminal name, each with its own division of labor, but they are also very experienced people.

The questions they ask are more practical.

For example, if each township establishes a township covenant hall, should the county government intervene in it, and simply let the villagers govern themselves?

If the county government doesn't intervene, wouldn't it be easy to get out of control? How can we ensure that the township covenant hall develops in the direction that the county government wants?

Of course, Liu Xianling hopes that the Township Covenant Hall will be obedient, and if it is even, he would prefer not to build this Township Covenant Hall, but Li Xiao just said that the biggest feature of such an organization as the Township Covenant Hall is that the villagers are self-governing, and it is an organization that the villagers can voluntarily accept.

It may sound strange, but it's true.

Li Xiao understood the idea of the county order, so he proposed that the township covenant hall could be led by the county to lead the establishment, for example, the county should elect a respected patriarch from the township as the chairman of the township covenant hall, and then one or more people from the county could also be sent to the township covenant hall as a supervisory representative, which was regarded as the special commissioner of the county ordinance, responsible for liaising with the county and the township covenant hall, and supervising.

"This person can be called a commissioner or a senator, no matter what the name is, in short, it is similar to the prison army stationed in the imperial court."

This makes it much clearer, and Liu Qi nodded, "Since there are already councilors in the township covenant hall, let's call them senators." "It's obviously not appropriate to call a commissioner or a prison guard.

"In addition, the county should directly lead the township covenant group of each township, and send officials to serve as the head of the regiment and other positions, and directly lead the township regiment of each township, and these regiment leaders can accept the leadership of the township covenant hall of their own township, but at the same time directly obey the orders of the county government."

After all, the Township Covenant Group is an executive body in the Township Covenant Hall, and it also has the ability to intervene in the event of water fights. If the county government gets the command, the influence on the township covenant hall will be greatly increased, and at the same time, in the disaster year, the control of such a township grassroots organization will greatly strengthen the county government's control over the countryside.

"On the other hand, the most important thing in drought prevention and relief is water, so we must control the water sources such as rivers, streams, ponds, and other water sources in the county. It is necessary to distribute the water as early as possible, and it must be fair and acceptable to everyone, otherwise if there is injustice, it is very easy to cause fighting. ”

Allocate water sources in advance, such as the distribution of Lanxi water in Lanxi Township, and at the same time build dams to fight drought, it is also necessary to stipulate the distribution of streams, and it is not allowed to completely intercept and monopolize the stream, and even have a detailed agreement on how much to divert and how much to intercept.

Once there is an agreement, there is a standard for disposal, and once a village crosses this standard, then it will not cause controversy when it is handled.

"Set the standard first, then let everyone pass it, and sign the convention. The convention stipulates that whoever violates it again will not be so easy to rebound if it is dealt with. ”

"There is another one, we have to make some decisions early based on the experience of previous years. For example, we should take the initiative to reduce production, give up some cultivated land, and make every effort to ensure the water supply of some cultivated land. ”

"Of course, the well should be drilled, and the waterwheel should be set up, and the waterwheel should be set up at the same time. And for some people who do not obey the stewardship and intend to make trouble, the county must also take a hard action, and take action when it is time to act, and cannot let a few people make trouble. ”

In such a special period, there is a greater need for order.

Those who make trouble should be dealt with, they should not be soft-handed, they should be caught, and after they are caught, they do not need to be fined with money and canes, they are directly punished for labor, and they are dragged to fight drought and provide disaster relief, so that they can dig wells and do coolies for a while.

"In addition, the county should also take the initiative to introduce some policies, such as reporting the disaster situation to the higher-ups, asking the higher authorities to reduce or exempt this year's taxes as appropriate, or transferring some grain in advance to help the people, etc."

Liu Qi sighed.

said to his two staff, "Although I am a scholar, I am not that kind of nerd, I have been an official for more than ten years, and my experience is rich." But today, after listening to San Lang's drought-resistant strip Chen, I am really ashamed. ”

The two staff members also smiled and said, "I'm ashamed of myself, with this Chen, according to the prescription, I dare to say that it will be able to greatly alleviate the increasingly serious problems in the current townships." ”

"If it can really be implemented seriously, then other townships can also become the next Lanxi Township. If this is the case, then what else can the county worry about. Although natural disasters are terrible, sometimes it is the human heart that is even more terrifying. If we are united and everyone works together, natural disasters are not terrible. ”

Liu Qi sighed and looked at Li Xiaodao, "San Lang, when I go back, I will personally put this article on the court, hoping that the court can learn from it and promote it to help other drought areas alleviate the disaster, of course, I will add your name, and I will not be greedy for your credit." ”

"It's polite to make you, Xiao is just gibberish, and it's better not to sign Xiao's name on this chapter."

"Could it be that Saburo doesn't believe so-and-so?"

"Definitely." Li Xiao shook his head, "I don't have any other ideas, but I hope that this strategy can be useful and can help alleviate the disaster." ”

"Why is Saburo so negative, don't you believe in this strategy?"

"Things are done by people, no matter how good the strategy is, in fact, people have to operate it. The human heart is the most complex, although in the current disaster, people can often burst out of great potential, but the most important thing is to take advantage of the situation. Lanxi Township can have today's situation, and it is not a simple few Chen. ”

Although Li Xiao talked a lot to Liuxian Ling, he was actually not very optimistic about Liuxian Ling's replication of the Lanxi Township model in other townships, let alone promoting it to other regions.

The human heart is the most complex.
