Chapter 80 How can a person who is not in danger be an official?

With the opening of the county government, many people have entered the county government and want to see how the county government operates. However, according to the plan, Chen Fei only received thirty people every day, and each person could only stay in the front hall of the county government for less than seven minutes at a time, and then he had to leave. You can't even go into the office to look at it, and you have to walk softly. However, although there are only 30 people, many people rush to run in every day to have a look, after all, it is too rare.

However, with the opening of the county government, it also brought some problems. That is, those office clerks actually began to be a little scared, because they usually did not have outsiders to watch when they worked, so they were sometimes lazy, and they didn't look like they were working. But now that the people have come in, even if the people can't come in and see how they do their work up close, they are forced to do things honestly. In the past, there was almost no such thing as being idle and having nothing to do, and then a few people chatting with each other and grinding foreign workers, because there might be people watching from the outside at any time. And once a common person saw that someone didn't do things during work hours, but was playing leaf play, and then he was stabbed by the county commander Chen Fei. Chen Fei deducted half a month's salary from these card-playing guys on the spot, which was painful. And after that, no one dared to mess around casually, because I don't know when a person at the door saw your behavior, and then no one knew if it would stab Chen Fei.

And there are very few scribes who usually want to borrow the little power in their hands to rub oil and make some extra money, because they are afraid that they will not be discovered by those people at any time. Although the probability of these situations happening is very low, they all have a sense of awe in their hearts, and they dare not mess around. In the past, the people let them be deceived and oppressed, but now Chen Fei actually took the initiative to admit that he was a public servant of the people, so what are they servants of? So they didn't dare to take advantage of the public, and who knows if those people would see it? After all, there are many people who are weak-hearted, so those hands that stretched out to the imperial court have also taken back.

"Chen County Order, you can't go on like this open county government like this. In the past few days, the people have come in one after another, and as a result, the scribes in the lower rooms have not been able to do things with peace of mind. If it goes on like this, I really don't know what will go wrong. Zhang Mingde, the county leader, said.

But Chen Fei shook his head and said: "They just don't get used to doing things under the watchful eye of outsiders, they are used to doing things without supervision, so they are uncomfortable when they are suddenly supervised." I'm just asking the people to come and see, but what have become of their hearts? If I give the people the right to sue them, who knows what will happen to them? ”

"What? And let the people sue them? If so, the people will be able to supervise our officials, what will it look like? Zhang Mingde couldn't understand.

"Of course not, we just want the people to supervise the scribes!" Chen Fei replied.

Chen Fei also knew that he couldn't directly grant the people the power to supervise officials all at once, so that the progress would be too fast. However, it is still possible to let the people supervise these scribes, because they are not among the officials of the imperial court. Even if they are qualified to have the opportunity to be officials, they are not officials after all!

"But now it's all making them nervous, and they feel like they're in danger of what they want to do now. They seem to be being watched in everything they do, and they dare not slack off at all. If the entire officialdom does the same, then the entire officialdom will be in danger! Zhang Mingde said with some sadness.

Chen Fei said lightly: "If you are not in danger, how can you be an official?" ”

Zhang Mingde's brain suddenly thundered, and he seemed to understand something.

Chen Fei sighed, he knew that Zhang Mingde probably understood. If you are not in danger, how can you be an official, in fact, the meaning of Chen Fei's words is obvious, that is, there must be supervision and awe. As a human being, you must first have a sense of awe, a reverence for your parents, a reverence for morality, and a reverence for the law. If a person is completely devoid of fear, then that person will also become free to do whatever he wants.

The bottom line of a person is to see what he is in awe of. In the event of a natural disaster, some people will be in awe of the nature of heaven and earth, and thus have the idea of protecting the environment. And some people are punished for doing something wrong, and they may be in awe of the law and promise not to continue to make mistakes in the future. And reverence is the basis for keeping the morality of the whole society from decreasing, and if everyone does not have reverence, then mankind will perish. And even if it is an emperor, he must have a sense of awe, such as the so-called heaven, the so-called ancestors, these are the objects of the emperor's awe.

And only with awe from the heart can you feel the danger around you, which is also self-danger. If an official does not have reverence, he does not feel his own danger. If he didn't fear the law when he was corrupt, he would sooner or later go to prison or even lose his head. And if the day of abuse of power does not fear the people, then he will soon be ousted. And if the officials of the whole country do not have a sense of reverence for the people, then the country will soon be destroyed. Only a government that has a genuine reverence for the people can truly achieve long-term peace and stability.

However, the officials in ancient times had no reverence for the people at all, and they did not have reverence for the law at all, they were only in awe of rights, and they were in awe of the rights of people who were more powerful than themselves, so they were fearless of the people and would do whatever they wanted. And Chen Fei just wants to help them establish these awe, so that the people can watch at any time, so that they know that the people are also around to watch how they work. Their every move is watched, and they will never dare to be passive and slack off, and they will never dare to stretch out their hands indiscriminately. Of course, Chen Fei's power is still small, so it is naturally impossible to expand the scope of supervision by all the people. But in this county office, he can still do this.

He first started with these subordinate scribes, and first of all, he had to cultivate their sense of reverence, so that they could do things well. And only with a sense of reverence can we be a good official and a qualified official. This is also the person who is not in danger, how can he be an official. If an official has no reverence at all, then he is not far from death.
