Chapter Seventy-Seven: Erfeng Erlu, the Fat of the People and the Anointing of the People

"Zhu Dabao, Niu Dali, Li Dabang...... Ten of you are out on the line! Chen Fei said.

And there were ten people below who looked at the side, they didn't know what happened to Chen Fei's county order to call him out. However, they were finally forced to take Chen Fei, the authority of the county order, and they could only come out slowly. And they looked at Chen Fei, but Chen Fei didn't give them a good face, obviously very polite.

"Chen County Order, what's the matter with you?" Zhu Dabao, the leader, asked.

Chen Fei said: "You go and get an extra month's salary, get out of here!" In the future, our county government will no longer hire you, you can go! ”

"Why?" Zhu Dabao asked.

Chen Fei continued: "Isn't it okay? You are just a scribe, and you have not become an official of the imperial court, and as a county magistrate, I naturally have the right to dismiss you. So you can leave, and I can give you an extra month's salary, which is already the end of your righteousness. ”

"Chen County Order, what did we do wrong? If we're right, you can't fire us either! Zhu Dabao asked.

"Ask me why? Two days ago, I called everyone to a meeting, and I said that the time was coming, and we should not be late. But I waited eight quarters of an hour, and none of you arrived. And you waited for eight quarters of an hour, and you didn't come. Our Shuoxian county government has to spend three yuan a month to support you, is it that you are so passive and slacking off? Since you are so irresponsible and don't take your duties seriously, then there is no need for us to keep you! Chen Fei said.

And then they learned that the county order called a meeting for everyone a few days ago, but they didn't arrive for two hours. This is no longer a matter of work ability, it is simply a matter of attitude. Chen Fei is also a county magistrate, and the county magistrate summoned these scribes to a meeting, so he shouldn't have been late. But for the sake of the first time, Chen Fei didn't care about those who were late. As for Zhu Dabao, these people are directly absent from work. Since they don't give Chen Fei, the new county magistrate, face so much, why should Chen Fei give them face!

"Chen County Order, you've only been here for a few days, how can you recognize that we haven't went?" Zhu Dabao asked.

Chen Fei replied: "You people, I don't necessarily know who is coming, but who is not coming, I can see at a glance!" ”

Zhu Dabao's face was as earthy as earth, because what Chen Fei said was also true. It's like when many officials in later generations were sick, everyone hurried to visit them. And those who didn't go to visit, many of them were later reassigned. Many people wonder why they are able to know who went and who didn't. And their answer is simple, because they don't necessarily remember who went, but they could tell at a glance who didn't. Now Chen Fei is the same, Chen Fei may not know if the meeting was going to Chen Fei at that time, but who didn't go to Chen Fei As long as he goes around the yamen a few times, he will definitely be able to see it.

"Zhang Xiancheng, you can help us intercede!" Zhu Dabao said.

But Zhang Mingde, the county magistrate, said: "I have the same meaning as Chen County's order at this point!" ”

"So do we!" The same is true of the main bookkeeper Sun Jiadong and the county lieutenant Equation Xi.

Chen Fei also agreed with them before, that is, Chen Fei would be cleaned, and after they obtained the rights, they would support Chen Fei to purge the county government. Now is the time for them to make good on their promise, so they don't support these guys either.

And those county clerks saw this situation, and they were also frightened, but fortunately they were only late a few days ago and did not miss work. If you are absent from work, it will be the same result as these people, and that is to be fired.

Moreover, these scribes also admired Chen Fei's methods, and in just a few days, they were able to subdue all the officials in these counties. And in the Chinese officialdom, what I am most afraid of is the first and second leaders and one heart. The subordinates are not afraid of the stiffness of the first and second leaders, because in this way they have the opportunity to give full play to their shrewdness and talents and meet the source on both sides. But now that the top and second leaders have one heart, and even the third or fourth leader have one heart, what else can they do? They can only obey, after all, everyone is a good brother, no matter how much you jump, you can't be left and right.

When those guys were driven away, Chen Fei took everyone to the open space in front of the county government, and then said to the two wooden signs: "Everyone look at it, these two wooden cards are my warning to all of you."

"Erlu, the people's fat and the people's ointment. The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive! ”

"From now on, when you come to work every day, you will collectively shout these two sentences three times. You must keep these two words in your heart, and you must not forget them for a moment. The county government spends money to support you scribes, and you should be responsible to the county government. The money of the county government comes from the state treasury, and the money of the state treasury comes from the taxes paid by the people. Therefore, you must be accountable to the people. Every one of your copper coins, including mine, is also from the people's fat and anointing. If the people didn't pay for you and us, the officials, we would all starve to death, let alone glory and wealth! Therefore, in the future, we must remember that the people are fat and the people are anointed. The people are our food and clothing, and if anyone is disrespectful to their food and clothing, then you should not eat this bowl of rice. Do you understand? Chen Fei shouted.

"Got it!" Everyone shouted.

Chen Fei continued: "Now shout at me three times before you can start working." Erfeng Erlu, the people's fat and people's ointment. The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive! ”

"Erlu, the people's fat and the people's ointment. The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive. "Erfangerlu, the people's fat and the people's ointment." The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive. "Erfangerlu, the people's fat and the people's ointment." The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive. ”

Everyone also began to chant three times, but Chen Fei didn't know how much they could remember. But after all, this is a good start, so that they can initially establish the thinking of being responsible for clean government, and then they can talk about other things. However, Chen Fei will continue to set up certain supervision regulations, so as to truly put an end to these slippery scribes.

Chen Fei believes that if there is no supervision, no matter how good people are, they will degenerate, and only continuous supervision can enable officials to remain honest at all times. However, in ancient times, it was not easy to have someone to supervise, so Chen Fei planned to delegate supervision power in the future.
