Chapter 388: The Way of Being an Official
Lin Bei and Huang Yueying came to Vientiane City.
Vientiane City is now the farthest new city under the rule of the Great Dragon King Sect, although it is a new city, its geographical location is quite important.
As a new city, the pace of construction of Vientiane City is very slow, from the beginning of this year to the present, Vientiane City has only built a rough, Mo Fei Mo said that after the arrival, vigorously build, it is better to put the framework of Vientiane City on the shelf, now, Vientiane City's resident dragon god sergeant is also a total of three thousand, and the common people are only two thousand, adding up to less than five thousand.
As the front line of the war with the Pufeng people, this point of people is obviously not enough, the Great Wei Dragon King Sect deters the Pufeng people, and the population is also an aspect, Lin Bei is ready to move some people here to live permanently, but now Wanghai City is undecided, for the time being, there are not enough people to move here.
However, after Lin Bei returned from Xiangyang, he also sent a Great Dragon King Ship to Vientiane City to inspect the surrounding river sections, and the Pufeng people had been frightened by the Dragon God Army, and a Great Dragon King Ship was enough.
As the capital of Laos in later generations, Vientiane City was built on the Vientiane Plain, the reason why it will be named Vientiane Plain is because before the arrival of the Dragon God Army, there were many elephant herds in this forest field, although most of the elephant herds are now avoided in the mountains and forests, but the traces of the elephant herd still exist, so it will have this name.
In the Vientiane Plain, there are many precious resources, not to mention elephants, the most here is sandalwood, both large and small leaves, this extremely precious tree is now controlled by the dragon god army, and even extravagant to the point that half of the buildings in Vientiane City are built with sandalwood.
In addition, there is a large amount of sugarcane here, which is also an important resource as the main raw material for sugar production at this stage, and beyond the Vientiane Plain, there are many mountains and bad waters. Many precious mineral deposits are hidden deep in the mountains here, waiting for the Dragon God Army to exploit them.
When Lin Bei and Huang Yueying arrived, Mo Fei and the three commanders of the Dragon God Army greeted Lin Bei and his party outside the city, and after saluting, they walked towards the city.
The new regulations of Linbei and Linjiang City have been spread to Vientiane City, so this time they entered the city. The two thousand common people really welcomed it, and the common people supported this dragon king from the bottom of their hearts, but Mo Fei and the three thousand commanders looked a little unpleasant.
Lin Bei's regulations greatly limited the status of officials, for this era, this is a subversion, if it weren't for Lin Bei's prestige in the Great Wei Dragon King Sect was too high, the officials would definitely rebound.
Actually, when on the road. Huang Yueying asked Lin Bei why he was so harsh on the officials under his rule, but Lin Bei smiled and did not answer.
Because Lin Bei has a shot in his heart.
Throughout the 5,000-year history of China, officials have always been ranked above the common people, and this concept has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and everyone takes it for granted.
But what was the position of official originally used to do when it came out? There is no doubt that it is used to solve problems for the common people. The people are important, and the king is light. Sheji is second, everyone must know this, but everyone thinks it is unimpressed.
Lin Bei believes that if the common people treat officials as fathers and give them countless rights, they demand that this father be selfless and fair. How is that possible? People's hearts are changeable, and there are still relatives and aliens between their own sons, not to mention that those who are officials are not real fathers, so they must be harsh on these officials. In Lin Bei's previous life, officials were called servants of the people, what a great and glorious title, but in just a few decades, these servants of the people have climbed on the heads of the people, and then rely on their power to make a fortune, ask those modern people, these people are really servants of the people?
In the face of the calls of the common people, everyone turns a blind eye, but everyone is accustomed to this distorted social status quo, and even everyone's goal is the same, to become an official themselves, and then trample the former enemies under their feet.
In the hearts of modern people, being an official is to glorify the ancestors, to be awesome/forced, and to step on people, these people have never thought about what the original intention of the official is, not to step on people's heads, but to be sons of the people.
The official has to treat the common people as his father and fulfill the obligations of his son, in this case, what Lin Bei did in Linjiang City is still harsh? Shi Nong Industry and Commerce was originally supposed to be a farmer and businessman, Lin Bei had to reverse this cognition, he had to tell everyone under his rule that being an official is not so easy to be an official, and he can't be a father, he can only be a son.
Some people may feel that this concept needs to be changed slowly, but Lin Bei does not feel that this is in a hurry, you must know that the more the population, the more uneven the people's hearts, many things you don't set the rules at the beginning, and the more difficult it will be, this is like corruption, if a person is corrupt and beheaded, the later people will think about it, if a person is corrupt but tolerates the adulterer, the people behind will be like mushrooms after a rain, and they will be eliminated.
Therefore, Lin Bei felt that if he was scolded by people whose cognition was distorted, whether it was a modern person or an ancient person, if this kind of person became an official, then the final outcome would definitely be beheaded, so Lin Bei would not change this decision (that, author, are you talking about those comments?). Chilled Cake: Bingo, you got it!! )。
No word for gossip.
When Lin Bei entered the city, along the way, Mo Fei reported the recent situation of Vientiane City to Lin Bei, and at the same time, the three commanders also reported the movements of the Pufeng people.
There is not much land reclaimed in Vientiane City, and the sugarcane is now mainly planted here, and the sugarcane will mature in August and September, and then the sugar workers will make these sugarcane into cane sugar to supply the needs of the Wanghai people, as for the Pufeng people, the people sent out by the Li Da tribe have just set off, and the lobbying effect is not obvious, maybe it will take several months, and Lin Bei is not in a hurry.
"I came this time to accompany Huang Sikong, and everyone must know that the dam is related to the safety of the city in the lower reaches of the Mekong River, so this time, the construction of the dam is the most urgent thing at present, and you only need to cooperate."
Mo Fei nodded, and then, Lin Bei saw that Mo Fei's face was a little hesitant, and Lin Bei asked, "What else is the matter?" ”
"My lord, I heard that my lord has made a new law in Linjiang City?" I had to ask, because this regulation was not only related to him, but also to all the officials of the Great Dragon King Sect.
"Two." Lin Bei said indifferently: "One is that all cities need to build grievance roads, and the other is to require all officials to stay closed at night. ”
"Your Excellency." Mo Fei carefully chose the words: "Adults cherish the people, we also know, and we have no objection to the matter of redressing grievances."
"In other words, there is an objection to the article of not closing the house at night?"
Mo Fei stubbornly said: "My lord, if you don't close your door at night, and a thief breaks into the house and steals, what should I do?" ”
Could it be that he had to find a reason, you must know that it is quite difficult to oppose the decision of the Dragon King, but not long after coming to Wanghai City, he already knows the status of this great dragon king in the hearts of the people of Wanghai, that is really the supreme and holy decree? The holy decree was not as good as a word from the dragon king in front of him.
Lin Bei said with a surprised face: "There are still thieves who will go to your house to steal things?" Then I have to say that you don't deserve this county order very well, if everyone thinks about it under the rule, how can anyone be the thief? ”
Mo Fei was speechless, this was questioning his ability.
Lin Bei said again: "If everyone under the rule is stable and has abundant food and clothing, why do you need to do that stealing?" Don't you have confidence in yourself? ”
On this issue, Lin Bei will not compromise, if these officials don't want to be officials anymore, and Lin Bei will resign, do these officials really think that being an official under him is a very comfortable thing? Lin Bei didn't want the officials to think so, on the contrary, if everyone thought that being an official was a chore.
I have to be silent.
He followed Lin Bei in Xiangyang, in addition to having the idea of repaying the negative in his heart, he didn't think that as long as he was an official, he would be able to glorify his ancestors, and now Lin Bei's two laws and regulations, the status of the common people suddenly jumped to the top, although he did not have the idea of being a confused official, but he felt that being an official like this was extremely aggrieved.
Lin Bei asked again: "What are you an official for?" ”
Mo Fei didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "For the benefit of all people." ”
Lin Bei smiled and said: "In this case, then what else do you can't figure out, if you don't communicate with the common people, it's like a high-rise building, and you don't even have a foundation, how can you benefit the people?" Can a big city be built by just dreaming? In ancient times, there was Zhao Kuo on paper, do you want to be that Zhao Kuo? ”
"The subordinates don't dare." It's busy.
"If you can't stand this little thing, how can you benefit all the people." Lin Bei casually gave another example: "For example, if sugar cane is grown in Vientiane City now, you must make sugar according to how many people I have under the rule of the Great Power Dragon King Sect, right?" Whoever likes to eat more sugar and who eats less sugar, you have to know, so that you can plan how much sugarcane needs to be planted, you can't just guess out of thin air, how much is planted, more is a waste, less but not enough to eat, these things, if you stay in the house all day, can you know? Even if I'm a dragon god, I don't know, let alone you. ”
Mo Fei didn't speak.
"Therefore, you need to communicate more with the common people, listen to the suggestions of the common people, and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses in order to benefit all the people." Lin Bei said earnestly.
"The words of the adults are thought-provoking, and I am ashamed."
"Not necessarily." Lin Bei shook his head and said: "The Han Dynasty has lasted for more than 400 years, and the Shinong industry and commerce have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the scholars are also officials. ”
"If it can benefit all people, his subordinates have nothing to fear." Mo Fei said angrily.
"Well, since you have said this, I will warn you a few words, as long as you regard the people under your rule as parents and sincerely listen to the words of the people, you will remember them one day." (To be continued......)
