Liu Renliang heard Shi Bufan's words, and immediately said excitedly: "It seems that you are better at being an official than me, listening to your words, it makes me feel better than studying for ten years!" ”

Liu Renliang really felt admired, he felt a lot of insight at this time, especially such a "five senses and five dos", which is really a good summary, a good summary of the official journey. But in fact, Liu Renliang is not clear, and Shi Bufan is only based on the statement in a TV series in later generations. Of course, the statement in the TV series is satirizing the "and fat man", but Shi Bufan changed this statement, and it has become a positive statement.

This is also the art of liberal arts language, which can be said to be reasonable, and there will be no absolutes. The same language is interpreted from different people, and those are two completely different concepts. Even the same is true of the law, and different jurists see that they have different interpretations, so it is really all about whose eloquence is better. Shi Bufan changed the ironic statement of "and the fat man" to a different one, completely changed from sarcasm to a positive statement, so that Liu Renliang had to be convinced.

"Brother Liu, what are you going to do next? What are you going to do, although you have been placed in a vacant position now, but you don't really want to be idle, because you have to be idle and busy, don't let yourself be idle, otherwise you will have a bad impression when the time comes. Shi Bufan said.

Liu Renliang thought for a while and said, "It's better to do this, I'll also go to build water conservancy." Today, I see that you are urging the construction of water conservancy, and I will also go to build water conservancy, so as to ensure that we can ensure that we can ensure harvest in drought and flood. ”

"You're going to build water conservancy, so do you have a way to gather workers? Even if you call in civil construction personnel, can you get them to take the initiative to do things? Shi Bufan asked.

"This ......" Liu Renliang also hesitated a little.

Because it is indeed not easy to gather manpower, if you want to gather the people to build water conservancy, you must levy conscription. However, the people will be very resistant to the levy of conscription. Tell the people what water conservancy construction is for them, but in fact, they will not do it themselves. In ancient times, ordinary people had too poor long-term awareness, don't think that ordinary people have long-term consciousness, on the contrary, ordinary people are the most "short-sighted". This situation is not uncommon in the 21st century in later generations, not to mention that in ancient times, this level of education was lower so many people?

You told him that the water conservancy was built for them, but if they didn't use special means, they would rather go to worship the dragon king than come to build the water conservancy. They only saw that they had to contribute to the construction of water conservancy, that they had to bring their own food, and that they had to serve the government and delay agriculture. So what they often see is this, let them work hard to serve the government, and they will definitely grind foreign workers. In this way, Liu Renliang has no good way, and he doesn't know how to get it.

"In that case, Brother Shi Xian, can you borrow a few people from me. I see that your people here are very active in their work, and I would like to borrow a few people to show our people in Xianyang County and let them take a look. Liu Renliang said.

But Shi Bufan still shook his head and said: "You are treating the symptoms but not the root cause, even if you can drive it today, you will still be lazy tomorrow." Because your Xianyang County is not like Wannian County, which has adopted this cooperative method. So if you still do it the way it used to, then of course something will go wrong. ”

Shi Bufan did not agree with Liu Renliang's idea of borrowing manpower. Because he knew that even if Liu Renliang used these manpower, it would definitely be useless in the end. The most fundamental thing is that Wannian County under the rule of Shi Bufan adopts a new mode of production organization, which is naturally different from the small-scale peasant economy in the past. It is precisely because of the adoption of advanced methods of production organization that these people are allowed to work hard, otherwise it is useless.

Not all good policies can be completely copied, there is no best policy in the world, only the most suitable policy. Different policies and different geographical environments are used in different eras, and the spatial environment suddenly changes with the times. So Liu Renliang wants to borrow someone from Shi Bufan, but it's useless. Without the new management model behind Shi Bufan, even if you borrow someone, it is useless. Even here it is the same, if there is no new way of management and organization of production, then these people will not be willing to work hard. Expect them to work hard, and let the horses run, but also let the horses graze. If there is no benefit, who will do the work!

Liu Renliang don't talk about borrowing people, if you don't change the management methods of Xianyang County, then this is actually useless at all, and in the end it can't inspire the people's enthusiasm for doing things. Especially the service calculated by time, this is definitely a delay in time, and it will not work hard.

"Brother Liu, don't look at me as just letting people come over to serve as servants, but the things behind me are incomparably huge. So don't look at it, it's just that I have these workers here to take the initiative to do things, but more importantly, there is a deeper meaning behind it. Behind this is a whole set of processes, not to take for granted that I instigated. This is because I have changed their production organization, no longer a family of men and women weaving, but into a collective. From a family to a collective, so that everyone's strength is screwed up, and even the corresponding division of labor is carried out, which is the most important thing. If you can't really follow the change, so can I do it. ”

"It's like an army, where the generals and soldiers share weal and woe, and this is a means of motivating the soldiers. But this incentive is often just one time, and you should all know that Wu Qi once sucked pus for a soldier, but an old woman saw through his deception. Back then, Wu Qi used the method of sucking pus to motivate the soldiers, so that the soldiers could serve their lives, but such a method could be used once, and if it did not change at all, it was actually useless. The best thing to do is to fundamentally change. In fact, what a soldier really wants is not a general who can suck pus for a soldier, but a general who can help them kill more enemies and get a fair chance for promotion. Ensure that they can be promoted fairly, and no one will rob them of their promotion and development opportunities because of their noble birth. can not fight for the fair development of the father, even if he loses, he is willing. ”

"Back then, it was said that the Qin Dynasty was a violent Qin, but their system of farming and warfare really made all the soldiers of Great Qin serve their lives and work hard. Although there were not many famous generals in the Qin Dynasty, why did they suppress the Six Kingdoms? Why is the Great Qin army strong, in fact, this exchange of the head for fame is the best proof. As for what to say about sharing weal and woe and sucking pus for the soldiers, this is just a small way. If you motivate the people who are in service this time, but they don't get real results, you may be able to motivate them this time, but will you be of any use next time? You haven't been able to get them to work more, so what's the use? ”

Liu Renliang also began to ponder, even if he hoped to inspire the people to do things, but this did not let them work more and get more. These people are simple, and if they sound good, they are "pragmatic", and if they don't sound good, they are "short-sighted". Perhaps these literate politicians have a long-term vision, but they need to consider the reality of the people more in order to truly implement the policy. Formulating a good policy is not difficult, but it is very simple. But how to implement it is the most test of people's means. It is difficult not only to convince those who have different political views, but also to exchange compromises with those vested interest groups, and even to take care of whether the people can understand.

So Shi Bufan told Liu Renliang that just relying on a temporary incentive, it is just a moment. The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty had neither additional rewards nor rewards from above, but why was their combat effectiveness so strong? The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty did not have too many generals who could share weal and woe, nor did they have too many additional rewards, all he could do was a fair, a fair opportunity for development, and he relied on killing the enemy to maintain promotions and obtain titles and land, etc.

A fair system of development is more useful than rewards and incentives. Because rewards and incentives may only be temporary, but this is like eating excitement. The effect will get worse and worse. Even when soldiers are motivated again and again, but they can't get better development opportunities in terms of promotion, they are more likely to relapse into inertia. When there is money, it is naturally impossible for soldiers to think that as long as they have money, they need to develop. If there is no fair development system, how can you motivate your subordinates to do things?

Brother Shi Xian said cautiously that the current imperial court is indeed not suitable. I'm afraid that I'm waiting for the cold family to serve in this kind of turbidity, and it is a lot more difficult to get to the center! However, it really doesn't work for me now. Liu Renliang said.

Of course, Liu Renliang knows what kind of goods the imperial court is at present, there is no cold family in the upper grade, and there is no scholar in the lower grade. The scholars looked down on the Hanmen from the bottom of their bones, even if the Hanmen became an official. Even the in-law network between the scholars is very complicated, even if the imperial examination is opened now, it is only a crack, and there are not too many poor families to serve.

Judging from the imperial examination in the early Tang Dynasty, first of all, the imperial examination is a quota of dozens of people a year, and among these dozens of places, the scholars will occupy half of them. Coupled with the fact that various court bigwigs joined in cheating, there are not many people who really rely on the imperial examination to get rid of their fate. Therefore, it is recorded in history that Li Shimin saw that he was in the imperial examination, and said that all the heroes of the world were in the middle of the imperial examination, which was just self-deception. Cheating is all so above board, how many "heroes" do you count on?

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Niu Li party struggle was a peak, and the Niu Party was a poor family, but it only used the imperial examination to select talents. However, the Li Party believed that it was necessary to use the hereditary generations to elect officials, and this Niu-Li Party struggle between the Hanmen and the Shi clan lasted for almost 40 years before the Hanmen Niu Party won. It can be imagined how bumpy the road was for poor officials in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. Even if there are a few people from poor families, it is also phenomenal, but most of them are scholars.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, these things can be solved slowly later. In the future, we will still think about how we can do a good job in the farming affairs of this people. It is indeed not easy to build water conservancy, especially in the next county order of Xianyang County, can you support you to make changes? If the county order of Xianyang County can support you, then you can follow the model of our Wannian County to carry out the transformation, it is not very difficult, but it is just the same. But if the county order doesn't support it, then it's hard for me! The key is that our county is too vague, and this authority is too vague, and it is completely just a matter of looking at the county order. Shi Bufan said.

Liu Renliang smiled bitterly again and said, "Brother Shi Xian, do you think that every county in the world is the same as you!" You, the county leader, are almost really unique in the world. Didn't you just pull the two prime ministers off their horses two days ago? With this prestige, Zhang Hong, the county commander there, doesn't dare to say anything. And I'm different, I, the county leader, are completely controlled by the county order, and I was bullied by the county order, and no one below takes me seriously. If it weren't for waiting for the emperor to remove, then I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to bear it. At that time, when I was in the army in Xizhou, and when I was a county lieutenant in Chencang County, I did not suffer from such a wretch. The entire county office, no one takes me seriously, what can I do? In the official system of the imperial court, our county is to assist the county order, but how to assist and to what extent, then the imperial court has no relevant statement. In this way, we are the most troublesome, whether we have great power or not, it still depends on the county order. If the county order is happy, throw a bone to us, but if it is not happy, then our county is not even as good as a book with no grade and no rank below. ”

"So, I'm not familiar with our Xianyang county order, but this guy is also a person in his forties and fifties, waiting for Zhishi. It's really depressing to mess around with this old thing, and stay all day with nothing to do. Actually, to be honest, when I killed that Lu Ning, I was not depressed in my heart. I can't stand staying in this county, facing some old men who are dull all day long. ”

Only then did Shi Bufan realize that the grassroots officials in the early Tang Dynasty were not optimistic, and these grassroots officials often sat together for more than ten years or even longer. In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, many grassroots civil officials were from poor families, and the scholars often attached more importance to the "Beijing officials" in the capital, and they also gave priority to the promotion of Beijing officials when they were promoted and reused. In the eyes of the scholars, these grassroots civil officials belong to the "turbid current", and they are very busy with various things, and their future is not good. Except for those who have committed crimes and have been exiled, it is generally difficult to return to the capital once they are released.

In addition, the Tang Dynasty did not have a fixed term of office, but only an annual assessment. If the assessment does not meet the criteria for promotion, then you may be there for the rest of your life, and you will not adjust your position. Therefore, the grassroots civil officials are indeed seriously aging, such as Liu Renliang is currently only in his twenties, which can be regarded as young in ancient times, and a young person is forced to work in a group of old people who are in the twilight, such a depressing feeling makes Liu Renliang's temper of course not good.
