At that time, after Bufan returned to the county government of Wannian County, the news that Shi Bufan was about to be promoted to the Criminal Department as a doorman had spread all over Chang'an. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This time Shi Bu is a huge promotion, because this Shi Bu Extraordinary promotion has been promoted several levels, directly from the eighth grade to the sixth grade, this is almost difficult to encounter. Unless it's like after the Xuanwumen Change, you can quickly break the rules and get promoted. But now that the world is peaceful, it is almost impossible to get promoted quickly. A large group of people with old qualifications are waiting for promotion, and ordinary people can't squeeze through. However, this extraordinary performance is also very important, so this time such a monstrous performance cannot be promoted, which is really unreasonable.

"Congratulations to Shi Xiancheng, you have been promoted this time!" County Lieutenant Long Qing said.

The scribes and other foreign officials next to him also hurried over to congratulate, this time Shi Bufan was promoted, and everyone attached importance to this Shi Bufan promotion. Because the extraordinary promotion is promising in the future, everyone hurried over to congratulate him. For the promotion of officials, that is very important, and you must not offend!

What's more, Shi Bufan has served as a county governor for the past year, and he has also made great achievements, and these achievements are also in the eyes of these scribes. Although Shi Bufan did not have any special friendship with them, and did not form gangs everywhere, the achievements made are indeed obvious to all. This kind of performance is simply against the sky, and he has done what other county officials can't do. As for this promotion, it is also expected, and the recovery of these people's livelihood is also a very important satisfaction for the people's harvest and production. Now the Gyeonggi region is completely rich, and it is simply immeasurably rich.

Shi Bufan has estimated that the Engel's coefficient of the people can be reduced to less than 50 percent this time, which is about the level of being well-off. Don't look at it just as a well-off level, but in ancient times, it was completely very rich. If it is according to the standards of the Tang Dynasty, it will still be in the stage of poverty in later generations. But when he entered the well-off, he was mostly first-class wealthy in ancient times, so of course the people were grateful. Such a big performance is enough for everyone to eat for many years.

"Long Qing, after I plan to leave this time, I recommend you to replace me. Of course, if the officials agree or not, I can't guarantee it! Shi Bufan said.

County Lieutenant Long Qing didn't expect such a big pie to hit his head, which shocked him. Because Long Qing is not familiar with the relationship with Shi Bufan, Shi Bufan would actually recommend him before leaving office? According to ancient tradition, no official can recommend a person to be his successor before leaving office. Of course, you can recommend it, but whether the boss agrees with it or not is another matter. Official appointments are not something you can recommend to succeed whoever you want, otherwise it would be hereditary.

Of course, if Shi Bufan, the county leader, recommends Long Qing to take the position, this can be regarded as a great success rate. Because of the performance made by Shi Bufan, I am afraid that the continuation of the policy will also be considered, so priority will be given to the candidates recommended by Shi Bufan. If Shi Bufan recommends Long Qing, it is really a great success rate.

"The reason why I recommend you is because you have also served as a county governor here for many days, and you are familiar with the people here. And you're in charge of affairs here, so you're very familiar with things in the prefecture. I'm afraid that one of them will be transferred from outside, then I'm afraid that they will deliberately make three fires for new officials to take office, and then mess up our layout. This is not good for the people of Wannian County, so I recommend you as an internal promotion, so as to effectively ensure the continuation. Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan is actually worried that if there is a person outside, then he will deliberately show off, as if he wants to be different from his predecessor, which will be troublesome. Many officials are also like this, after taking over from their predecessors, they often have to do some things like "three fires for new officials to take office", and they are very taboo to follow Xiao Gui. Many officials have to do something even if they don't have something, as if they have "a set" of things.

"Shi Xiancheng rest assured, if I can come to serve as the county minister, then I will definitely follow the rules, and there will be no transgression!" Long Qing said.

Shi Bufan also said: "Try your best!" ”

Xiao Gui Cao follows, easier said than done! Maybe now he didn't sit in this position, it might be easy to say that Xiao Gui Cao followed. But once he really achieves this position, then he can really follow the rules, which is rare.

Shi Bufan wouldn't think that he was like this, but what he had to do was to think about his new position next.

"Shi Xiancheng, I heard that you are leaving!" Someone from outside the county office came over immediately.

"Oh? It's you! Shi Bufan asked.

These people are people from the cooperatives in the countryside, and when they heard that Shi Bufan was going to be transferred, they hurried over to have a look. Shi Bufan's achievements over the past year, but he really has a lot of impressions in Hundred Confidence. As the people, they feel it most deeply. Originally, they could not have a few dollars left every year, and often their food needs alone reached 60 or 70 percent, while they spent very little on other things, and they could hardly have anything left after buying other daily necessities. Now that the Engel index has dropped to less than 50 percent, they have more capital to eat better and use better. For example, meat that could only be eaten during the Chinese New Year can now be eaten basically every ten days. This is also a manifestation of getting better and richer as life passes. This is a situation that could not have been imagined in the past.

Even Shi Bufan helped them get rid of the pain of forced labor, and the pain of forced labor is something that every common person is unwilling to bear, so Shi Bufan helps them get rid of the pain of forced labor, which is a benevolent government. What's more, far more than these, all kinds of medical mutual assistance, these are important policies to help the people solve the problem of expensive and unaffordable medical treatment. Therefore, the changes that Shi Bufan has brought to them are far from being able to describe them in words.

"Shi Xiancheng, you are the best county official I have ever seen in fifty years!" An older man said excitedly.

"Shi Xiancheng, are you really leaving?" Someone still asked unwillingly.

Shi Bufan took the initiative to say: "Yes, I want to work in another department." It's not enough, I'm still in Chang'an, if you have something in the future, you can come to me. I'm still in Chang'an, so you don't have to worry! ”

Hearing that Shi Bufan was still serving in Chang'an, they felt relieved, and they didn't want Shi Bufan to stay away from them. They have pinned their happy life on Shi Bufan, their happy life is brought by Shi Bufan, and naturally they don't want Shi Bufan to stay away, otherwise their hearts will be empty.

"Shi Xiancheng, a few of us have discussed, we hope to get a big stone tablet for Shi Xiancheng to record your achievements for the people of Wannian County. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have the good days we have today. So everything we have is also given by you in Shixian County, and of course we have to record it with a stone tablet. A few of us contributed to make a big stone stele, and it should be pasted with gold leaf, so as to express the kindness of Shi County to our Wannian County! ”

"Yes! We also have to build a merit temple for Shi Xiancheng, and record the merits of Shi Xiancheng for you, otherwise how can we record the merits of Shi Xiancheng? ”

Everyone looked at me and said how to record Shi Bufan's contributions, as if if he didn't make some great achievements, it was really impossible to commend Shi Bufan's general credit. However, when Shi Bufan heard this, he smiled bitterly.

"You don't need it, what stone monument or what merit temple, let alone it. Why do you have to spend so much money to build the Temple of Merit and the Stone Monument, how much does it cost? You've just been lifted out of poverty, you've just had some money, so why bother spending so much? It's still golden, so do I have such a big face? Shi Bufan said.

"Of course, Shi Xiancheng's kindness to us is really incomparable!"

Shi Bufan hurriedly said: "I don't have any kindness, I just did my duty." Since I am your parent, I have to find a way to make my life better with you. How can there be parents who let their children suffer, and where are there parents who let their children have a bad life? So I just did my duty, and I didn't mean anything else. As for what merit monument to say, there is no need to do it. How many years can a stone monument be? A year, two years maybe. But what about ten or eight years? Maybe ten or eight years of wind and rain will wear out a lot. In another ten or twenty years, I am afraid that the inscription will be consumed, so what is the point of this? ”

"Shi Xiancheng, don't worry, even if the wind and rain blow in the future, then we will get it for you again!"

Shi Bufan shook his head and said, "In a few generations, maybe everyone will forget me, and the feelings will fade, and it will be impossible to continue to build the stone monument." So you don't have to, you're scolding me for building the stele like this! In my opinion, whether you use gold tablets or silver tablets, they are far inferior to the reputation that you have passed down from generation to generation. Maybe some people make their merit monuments extremely huge, but in the end, they are blown away by wind and rain, but they are completely wiped out in more than ten years, and who will remember in the end? ”

"There are some people who have not erected a monument of merit, but their merits have spread far away in the hearts of the people. This is also word of mouth, every people's mouth is a merit tablet, wherever the people are, there is his merit tablet, so that it is the real reputation. A stone tablet may only be able to survive for no more than a hundred years, but the reputation of mankind, as long as human beings do not perish, will remain forever. Therefore, no matter how hard the gold tablet or the silver tablet is, it is far less important than the reputation of the people. ”

"It is like a man who lives but is dead in the hearts of the people. Some people are dead, but they live forever in the hearts of the people! ”

County Lieutenant Long Qing immediately said excitedly: "Incisive, too incisive." Shi Xiancheng's words are so incisive, I am also deeply touched! ”

Shi Bufan's last sentence is actually plagiarism, borrowing a famous quote from Zang Kejia. Of course, in order to avoid the low cultural level of the people in this era, he also added some additional words "in the hearts of the people", so that it is easier for everyone to understand.

The incisiveness of this sentence is not something that ordinary people can describe. These words are incisive enough to be passed down for hundreds of years without problems, and perhaps even longer. He is enough to express the impression in the minds of many people, and it is also a praise for those corrupt officials or those who are really good officials and really good people. It is the greatest criticism of bad officials and tyranny, so don't look at this as just a short sentence, but many times it is worth a thousand words.

"So, you don't have to erect any merit monuments, let alone spend money to build merit temples. None of this is useful. Because these things are all false and have no meaning. In this world, only human beings can be eternally extinguished, so the mouth of the people is the real monument of merit. As long as the people of the Tang Dynasty exist for one day, the human race will not be extinct, and the achievements will be passed on forever, this is more useful than any merit monument, and it will never decay! In my life, I will not ask anyone to set up a monument for me, because I believe that the pure will be self-pure, and the people will be able to see it as long as they make achievements, and they will be passed on forever. Otherwise, even if a monument of merit is erected, it will only be forgotten after a few decades, and it will be useless at all. Shi Bufan said.

"Shi Xiancheng, I understand, as long as we have one day of existence in Wannian County, then we will also pass on your merits for Shi County, so that future generations will know that our Wannian County has such a meritorious service, and it all depends on Shi County Cheng!"

Many people around also sighed, this is a real good official! Don't care about any false name, don't care about what tree monument is erected, this is the real good official in the hearts of the people! Other officials may not be corrupt and pervert the law, and may even take the initiative to benefit the people. But they are not greedy for power or money, but in the end they fell in terms of "reputation". They have made some achievements, but they desperately hope to pass on these achievements, through the tree monument, and finally hope to pass on forever.

It's a pity that not many people really survived in the end. There are many people who can resist the temptation of power, money, and beauty, but it is too difficult to resist the temptation of fame, especially the temptation that a literati can resist through the ages. Shi Bufan not only does not greed for money, works hard, and even gives the people a rich life. Not only did he not covet any fame, but he also did a lot of things, isn't this the best good official? If you don't want fame, you're really a good official!

This is a model of a good official through the ages, not something that ordinary people can describe. (To be continued.) )
