Seeing that Fang Yun had already said this, the officials present had already understood that this Fang Xusheng came to Xiangzhou not to be the governor of Xiangzhou with Guang Tongchen, but to have a pursuit far beyond the officials. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Those methods in officialdom are not applicable in front of Fang Yun.

Many officials looked at Dong Wencong, and at this time, they could only expect the governor of a state to speak.

State Pastor Dong Wencong coughed lightly and said, "Since Fang Xusheng wants to hear the truth, then the lower official will answer truthfully." The fundamental reason why people took to the streets was that they lost trust in me and the state officials. ”

"Not enough. Fang Yundao.

Dong Wencong said helplessly: "A small number of people have been bullied and oppressed by local officials, so the target state government has completely despaired. ”

Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the rest of the officials, and as a member of the high-ranking bureaucrats, everyone knew this, but the problem was that these words could not be said, because it would be tantamount to peeling off the skin of all bureaucrats.

"Yes, it's not that they're ignorant, it's not that the workers can't do it, and even those profiteers are secondary reasons, the main reason is that you bureaucrats are shameless and incompetent. However, there are deeper reasons why the people have lost trust or despair, in addition to your unrighteousness, ignorance, and injustice. Fang Yundao.

"Please advise. Dong Wencong was slightly surprised, and the rest of the officials also showed curiosity.

Fang Yun said slowly: "Don't consider the power of the saints, from the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, until the Qin and Han dynasties, once the people are not happy, someone will inevitably rise up, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are not even as good as Tongsheng, but they are recorded in history, and the status of the prince and the great Confucian saint is similar; In those times, if the people could not survive, they would dare to fight to the death with the kings and officials. Back then, in addition to Xiang Yu and Chen Sheng, I am afraid that many people dared to look at Xianyang and wanted to replace it!"

The officials present vaguely understood Fang Yun's intentions.

"However, it is now very difficult for the people to live in poverty, at least not on a large scale, and most importantly, when the people rise up, even if they cannot overthrow the tyranny, they can shake their foundations, so that there will be a righteous man with the destiny to replace them. But now, the gap between the power of the people and the government is getting wider and wider, and the people are surprised to find that even if they rise up now, not many people will respond, and even if they do, they will not be able to shake the foundation of the government. In other words, the people already know that they have lost the power to restrain the officials! The current officials should not say that they fear the people, and they do not even treat the people as human beings. Fang Yundao.

The officials present were stunned, even though they were in important positions, they had not thought about this problem.

Therefore, when they no longer trust the officials, they cannot really restrain the officials, so they can only huddle together to keep warm and vent their anger by roaring in the streets. A really good official will defuse their anger before they go out into the street, not like you, who either knows that they don't dare to rebel and doesn't care, or thinks they are ignorant and too lazy to educate. ”

Dong Wencong was about to speak with a bitter face, but Fang Yunyi waved his hand to stop him, and said: "I know, you will say that you have hardships, difficulties, and helplessness, but never forget that since you are the prefect and the state pastor, you should have solved these problems." Those ordinary errand officers, ordinary officials, ordinary soldiers, they have no real decision, so they can complain, they can complain. However, no one is forcing you officials to educate the people and help the people, you have chosen your current position, so you must do it! Otherwise, what do you want to do!"

The officials present were all ashamed.

"Adults are taught. Dong Wencong was convinced.

"The lower officials know their mistakes!" the officials honestly admitted their mistakes.

Fang Yun snorted coldly and said, "Now, give me an answer, how to solve the problem of the paper workshop." ”

Dong Wencong said firmly: "Since the people are against it, then we will cancel it immediately." ”

"Oh, if the people oppose you, you will cancel it, and then how will you govern the land of a state in the future? The paper workshop could have brought thousands of jobs to Baling, and it could have allowed a large number of scholars in Xiangzhou to buy paper at a lower price, and these good things are gone. On the balance, it seems that the cost of canceling the paper mill is even greater. ”

Dong Wencong smiled bitterly, he didn't know how to answer at all, and he couldn't figure out Fang Yun's intentions.

Yan Xiao, the prefect of Baling, said busily: "In this case, then our Baling officials will all go to the workshop in the next few days to resolve the doubts and anger in the hearts of the people, as long as we treat people with sincerity, as long as we do what we say, the people will definitely support us, and finally make this matter happy." ”

"What are you going to do to convince them that the paper workshop is fine?" Fang Yun asked.

Yan Xiao was silent for a moment and said, "We will go all out to do it and use all means." ”

"Yan Xiao, Wen Cong, and all the officials present, tell me, are you sure that this paper workshop is beneficial to Baling Prefecture, and at the same time, the destruction of the surrounding area is not enough to affect the health of the people?" Fang Yun glanced at everyone with a serious expression.

Yan Xiao was the first to say: "Xiaguan dares to guarantee the head and future of Xiang Shang, the paper workshop is definitely beneficial to the state, and it will never damage the surrounding waters, let alone harm the people nearby." ”

Dong Wencong hesitated for a moment and said, "Xia Guan's thoughts are the same as those of Governor Yan. ”

"The same is true for the lower officials!" all the officials present expressed their attitudes.

Fang Yun smiled and nodded, and said: "Okay! This is the responsible official of my Dajing State, this is the man who is ambitious in doing practical things, and is different from those despicable officials who are full of money and power only to get promoted and make a fortune, just to satisfy their selfish desires!

Fang Yun said, standing up excitedly.

The officials present were also excited, and it was a great honor to be praised so by the Void Saint.

"But...... You still don't have a specific solution to this matter, do you?" Fang Yun smiled kindly.

The officials nodded helplessly.

"This official has a plan, not only to solve this matter, but also to show your official character and benevolence. Fang Yundao.

"Your Excellency the Governor, please!" the officials asked in unison.

Fang Yun smiled slightly, and said: "It's very simple, from today onwards, move all the official offices in Baling City to the vicinity of the paper workshop, or move the residences of officials of the seventh rank or above there! In this way, you use practical actions to declare that there is no problem with this paper workshop, and the facts have proved that you have not deceived the people, and you are all good officials with conscience and ambition! You are different from those dog officials!"

All the officials were stunned in place, no wonder Fang Yun had held them so high before, and now when they looked down, they were being roasted on the fire by Fang Yun.
