Chapter Seventy-Nine: The County Government Opens Up

Many people are really convinced of Chen Fei. Since ancient times, what the people have hoped for is that officials can love the people like sons, but now Chen Fei has gone one step further and become a public servant of the people. After all, he loves the people like sons, and he still regards the people as his sons, and he still regards himself as a high-ranking person. And this public servant of the people took the initiative to lower himself to the lower status of the people, so that the people were their "masters", so that the people really felt the respect of the government. Of course, although it is impossible for the government to be a real servant, this represents that the government really values the people, rather than treating the people as slaves who can be bullied and abused. This is what really excites the people, in their first impression, Chen Fei, the newly appointed county magistrate, is also a great good official, which is simply a rare good official in the ages.

And Chen Fei saw that the people saw that he showed a respectful expression, and Chen Fei knew in his heart that his approach had successfully touched the hearts of the people. And Chen Fei also believes that true respect does not come from the kind of high rights, nor is it the kind of deterrence that all beings kneel at their feet. And that kind of situation can only bring fear and strangeness to the people, and can only turn the people away from thousands of miles, instead of winning the real respect of the people. And some leaders, even if they don't deliberately put on a majestic posture or deliberately appear to be superior, hundreds of people still respect him and are very convinced. And this is one's own benevolence and love, which can really move people, such as the great men of later generations. Their majesty is not gained by bullying the people, but by really being close to the people, and this is the real prestige.

"Fellow villagers, since our government is a public servant of the people, then our government has nothing to say to people in the future. In the future, when our government began to work every day, it would open the door of the county government and then open the office. If anyone wants to come in and visit our government office in the future, they can also come in and visit. Chen Fei said.

"What? Can we also visit the Yamen office? Someone asked in surprise.

This is simply surprising, because Chen Fei was able to let everyone go in and visit the office of the county government. Since ancient times, many people have felt very mysterious and curious about government offices. This has been the case for generations to come. And now Chen Fei actually invited the people to visit, and the county government was also open to work, which shocked them very much. In the future, ordinary people can also go to the county government to have a look, so that they can satisfy their curiosity.

"That's right, since we all rely on the people's taxes to support us, then we naturally have to serve the people. The people are our food and clothing parents, so we naturally have to accept the supervision of our food and clothing parents in the process of service. If even our own food and clothing parents can't intuitively feel that we are serving them, then who can support our government? Chen Fei said.

"I'm going, I'm going!" "Yes, let's all go in, we all have to see how the government works!" "Yes! We're going to take a look, too! ”

Everyone is also very excited, after all, they have never seen the office process of the government, and now they can have the opportunity to visit, can they not care? So many people also wanted to go in, but they were stopped by Chen Fei.

"Folks, although everyone wants to go in, if there are no rules, it will not work. If everyone rushes in, then our county government will not have to work. Therefore, we must first establish some rules, so that we can take into account everyone's curiosity and the normal operation of our government. Please forgive me, our county government can only accept 30 people to visit every day, and everyone can only stay in the county office for half an hour, and after half an hour, they will have to leave. And you can only watch from the window, and you can't go into the room to interfere with the scribes. Also, when you walk in, you must walk softly and lightly, don't make too much noise, so as not to affect everyone's office! Do you understand? Chen Fei asked.

"We get it!" The people said one after another.

It is impossible for Chen Fei to let the people come to visit at will every day for an unlimited number of people, after all, the county government also has to work, and it is impossible for everyone to come in anytime and anywhere. Therefore, Chen Fei only receives 30 people to visit every day, and each person can only stay for half an hour, that is, about seven minutes. In ancient times, the county government was actually not big, and these people were only able to watch the first half of the office area, so seven minutes was actually enough.

As for what can only be watched from the window, and what else should be softly and not noisy, this is also to avoid everyone affecting the work of officials and good scribes. After all, the county government is still the office in the end, and if it is for the sake of the opening of a county office, it will also mess up the business, which is not good. Therefore, the necessary rules must still be erected, otherwise I am afraid that these people who are swarming will be able to mess up the county government.

However, although there are several rules, everyone is very satisfied. After all, the county government can be opened, which is countless times better than in the past. This time, Chen Fei's county order was able to open the county government, that is, to let everything be established in the sun, and expose the operation of the county government to transparent sunlight, so that the people can trust the government.

In ancient times, many officials believed that it was necessary to make the government strict and solid, so that the people could not get in touch with it, so as to maintain a sense of mystery, so that the people could feel that the government seemed to be omnipotent, and the people could trust. But as a descendant, how could Chen Fei believe this? Many later generations know that if the government pretends to be mysterious, then it is the officials themselves who will be thankless in the end, and this kind of behavior is nothing but self-deception. Only by making everything public can we gain the trust of the people. Let the people know everything about you, for their own good, not for the convenience of their own corruption.

In many cases, mutual suspicion between the government and the common people is actually caused by mutual distrust. In fact, sometimes officials are not corrupt many times, but they are suspicious and suspicious by the people, as if there are corrupt officials everywhere in the government. This is also the opacity of the government's operation, and as a result, everyone will be suspicious. If the government is transparent, then the people will trust the government. And the more transparent the government, the more the people will trust the government.
