"Fellow, what do you say about the officials here?" Chen Fei asked.

Chen Fei didn't have a good solution to the problem of productivity for the time being, so he wanted to ask how the county officials here were. Chen Fei also wants to know what kind of person his predecessor is, and then consider what kind of policies he will implement after he takes over. Chen Fei also wanted to know whether this predecessor was a good official or a bad official. If he is a good official, then Chen Fei will be under great pressure, after all, he is not afraid of not knowing the goods, he is afraid of comparing goods, if he does a worse job, then I am afraid it will be miserable. If it is a bad official, then Chen Fei still has to be a little happy, as long as he does not go so far, then the people will also be grateful to Dade, so that Chen Fei will easily mix in the past year or two.

"You mean our Niu County Order? He's okay! The fellow said.

Chen Fei then asked: "Is it a good official, or a corrupt official?" If it is a corrupt official, I can play the emperor and let the emperor remove him! ”

"Corrupt officials, I can't say it, I'm just a little afraid!" The fellow said.

Chen Fei frowned, what kind of evaluation is this?

"This Niu County Commander, he has been idle for a few years in office, and he has nothing to do in the yamen every day. If someone complains, it is to someone else. If something happens to us in Shuo County, he will also take the initiative to push the history of Shuozhou and push the responsibility up. Or if there is anything, he pushes it to the officials of the state city, and he doesn't have to do anything, and he doesn't have to take care of anything. The fellow said.

Chen Fei knew who this predecessor was, and he was actually a mediocre official. This kind of guy has to say that he doesn't have the ability to be an official, and he can't make a profit, but he is just a mess. If he encounters official business, he pushes up, down, and sideways. Anyway, this kind of birdman is the most cunning, he doesn't do anything serious at all, and he mixes the salary of officials all day long, and what is some official power, mixed with a social status. And this kind of person is actually a common phenomenon in many officialdoms, and this kind of person is very headache.

To say that this kind of official is a corrupt official cannot be counted. But to say that they are good officials is far from it. This kind of official may be the majority of the entire officialdom, because they don't have much ability, and they can't do it for the benefit of the people. And the welfare and social status of officials have made many people sharpen their heads and drill into it, so that they can glorify their ancestors. And there are only a very few officials in this world who can be promoted to high-level positions. And the vast majority of people have been consumed by the years, and their ambition has been exhausted. Maybe they were full of enthusiasm at the beginning, wanting to make a career for the people. But with the tempering of time, they have no hope of promotion, or they can't go up or down, which makes them become a rubber man.

"I heard that this Niu county commander is about to be transferred, and the new county commander is ready to take office, that's really good! He's going to leave soon, anyway, that's why I dare to say that. The fellow said.

"What's going on? He's not a corrupt official! Chen Fei asked.

The fellow immediately said: "This Niu County Order, don't do anything, it's useless at all." So we've always wanted to change the county order to a better one, so that our people might be able to do better. At least we want to have a more responsible county ordinance, so that we don't have to run around when we file a complaint or do things, and we can't deal with it. ”

"Then if you change the county order, it will still be the same as this Niu county order?" Chen Fei suddenly asked a little nervously.

"Then blame us for our misery!" The fellow said.

Chen Fei couldn't help but clench his fists, he seemed to be full of thoughts in his heart. Before Chen Fei came to Shuoxian, he was also a person who wanted to make a living in officialdom. In fact, before he came to Shuoxian, his thoughts were the same as his predecessor, just messing around in the officialdom. But now seeing that the people are so resentful of this kind of mediocre official, Chen Fei is also uncomfortable in his heart. Do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself, how could Chen Fei before the crossing not be a person who hates mediocre officials! In the army, he hated those who were incapable but could be officers, and when he was a common man, he also complained that many officials were incapable, but they stood in the pit and did not.

But now that he is an official, he actually has the same thoughts as those mediocre officials. Now that Chen Fei has changed from a common person to a local parent official, he really understands this feeling. In fact, the people are very judgmental of officials, and they look forward to having an official who can lead everyone out of poverty and become rich, and can bring everyone a happy life. But the reality has disappointed them again and again, because all the officials are mediocre officials, and they have no talent but occupy positions.

And what the people can do is to hope that this official will leave office as soon as possible, and the court will replace another better official. But isn't this a gamble, a gamble with a very low success rate? Because this is also the case in the entire officialdom, even if you can change to another one, you may still be a mediocre official to a large extent. If he wants to push things to the side and let them develop production, they don't have the ability. Therefore, the entire officialdom is full of mediocre officials who occupy the pit and do not, and the hope of the people for a good official is getting lower and lower.

Because compared with so many mediocre officials, the number of good officials is too small. Maybe it's less than one percent of all officials, and the people have to bet on the probability of one percent. And those good officials still have to map many obstacles, break through the siege of all kinds of corrupt officials, corrupt officials and mediocre officials, and face those slippery officials below, it is not easy to do things for the people. Therefore, if you want to do things for the people, it is not enough to have good moral character and good thinking, but also to have good political skills, otherwise you will not be able to serve the people. Maybe many people want to serve the people, but in the end, it is often because of the restrictions in many officialdoms that they are forced to be a mediocre official.

And now Chen Fei was a common man before he crossed over, and he was an official after crossing, and the changes in these two identities made him truly understand the difficulties of these two identities. And the people expect good officials, and it is not easy for officials to be in officialdom, there are too many restrictions, and even if they have any ambitions, they have been wiped out.

"Wanrou, let's go!" Chen Fei took Li Wanrou's hand and left, and continued to return to the carriage.

Sitting on the carriage, Chen Fei sighed and said, "The people are bitter! ”
