Yan Zheng had high hopes for the first batch of civil servants, seeing them as reserve talents for the members of the House of Representatives and the Cabinet.

It was only four months after he was dispatched, and there was such an incident, which surprised him a little.

This shows that the farther away from Meadow, the more likely it is that local power will be capricious.

This is a problem for all systems, especially in ancient times, when transportation and communication were inconvenient.

But there is no better solution, originally Yan Zheng planned to let these people play freely, and see if a group of young people with outstanding talents can emerge under the weak state of government constraints.

As a result, he was shocked, the problem was not a problem of corruption, nor was it a problem of inaction, but a group of young people who were eager to perform, in order to make political achievements, regardless of the people's power to carry out construction, resulting in a lot of problems.

This incident is also very typical, and it also gave Yan Zheng a wake-up call.

In this stage of rapid development, officials are facing an extremely certain and broad future, so they will not necessarily make small mistakes, but will participate in the construction with great enthusiasm, because they are facing almost all bright futures.

After a few years as a cadre, he was promoted to the court house, which is a common thing in the current Eastern Qin!

But precisely because of this, there will definitely be hot-headed magistrates who are eager to perform, who regard officialdom as vanity fair and political achievements as a stepping stone to their careers.

They are not corrupt, but they are more harmful than corruption, and they do not do nothing, but they cause more damage than those who do not do it.

Yan Zheng thought about it for a long time, and felt that he had been ignoring this matter before, he didn't think that Liu Mingfeng was an isolated case, but this person was unfortunate and happened to run into the position that should not be rushed.

He hurriedly came to Ah Ku overnight to negotiate on this issue.

Ah Ku also admits that there was some negligence, but believes that this is unlikely to be the case within the confines of Mozhou City.

Because there are students in many families in Mozhou City, if there is such a similar thing, then there will definitely be a report.

"So, the farther away from Meuse, the more likely this kind of thing is?"

"That's right! In fact, we don't have a strong control over Ryukyu, Penghu, and even Qinnan City, if it weren't for the fact that several mayors have monthly reports to hand in their work reports, we are afraid that we would not even know the local situation! ”

Yan Zheng nodded and said, "I also understand this problem, so I sent a few henchmen to control these places!" I was afraid that I thought about it for a day and a night, and I couldn't figure out that the fifty cadres in the chicken coop would be co-opted and divided by a Liu Mingfeng, and I didn't expect Liu Mingfeng, who was so good at politics, was a master who didn't know how to seek truth from facts! ”

Ah Ku couldn't help but smile: "If you use your mind in the wrong place, you naturally think that if you hold great power and play politics, you can make political achievements." They are obviously dissatisfied with the arrangement of the king, and they should also be pessimistic about the development prospects of the chicken coop. That's why I want to make political achievements as soon as possible, so that I can be transferred out of the chicken coop as soon as possible! As soon as they leave, no matter how bad the mess is, it is the business of the successor! ”

"The eaves drip from generation to generation, and the later officials are not counted as the accounts of the former officials!" Yan Zheng remembered this Ming proverb, the official-oriented thinking is really deadly! This group of people is afraid that there are talents, but their thinking is not correct, and their original intention is not to serve the people and the country, they only obey power! It's just that black gauze hat.

He believes that the 50 cadres of the chicken coop should have formed a community of interests under Liu Mingfeng's co-optation and deception, and they all wanted to make political achievements as soon as possible, so as to leave the barren land of the chicken coop as soon as possible.

It was only in the process of implementation that they encountered huge resistance, and the result backfired, that officials appeared and wanted to report and expose them.

If the implementation goes well, then the sufferings and sins of these people will never be mentioned again.

"Ah Ku, you tell me the truth, right now, our farmers in Dongqin, is the burden heavy? Should the work system be abolished? ”

Ah Ku thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The burden is not heavy, and the work system cannot be abolished!"

"What I have seen in Mozhou is that the life of the farmers is getting better and better every year, and the work is getting less and less every year, because the canals and ponds can be used for many years after they are excavated! If you build roads, you don't have to build roads every year! And the people can get tax deductions for their work, and the people know that the work they do is good for themselves!

Therefore, the enthusiasm is actually very high, this system is also a characteristic of the Eastern Qin, in the villages, and even every year will take the initiative to carry out some collective labor, such as the renovation of the grain field, collective procurement of agricultural machinery, these are the past work, taught the people of the villages, at a critical time, must be united! This is a good thing, not only does it harm the people, but it is extremely conducive to construction!

The biggest burden on the peasant households is only agricultural and industrial products, which can only be traded through supply and marketing cooperatives, so they have to pay higher labor income to buy some commercial goods. But in terms of food and clothing, the farmers of Dongqin are far better than the middle-class families of the Ming Kingdom, even if they are broilers, eggs, chickens and ducks, they can also appear on the farmers' tables in the three festivals of the year! How beautiful a day like this is! ”

Yan Zheng was silent for a while, nodded and said, "It seems that there is no problem with the system, but there is a problem with the people!" The chicken coop is also because it is in the initial stage, so the people's power has been exhausted in a short period of time. If it is a well-developed place, these cadres want to toss, but they can't find a new way!

But even so. The chicken coop incident still gave us a wake-up call. In the future, we must pay special attention to the fact that we should not only talk about political achievements, but also establish a supervision and evaluation body, and let the people have channels to express their grievances. As you said, the cadres in Mozhou City shouldn't be too nonsense, because there are students in every household! ”

Ah Ku said: "There should indeed be supervision, and the facts have proved that mediocre officials will not do things, and maybe officials will also do bad things!"

Yan Zheng smiled and sighed, originally thought that he had entered Beijing to pass the exam, but he didn't expect to look back and see that it was the first step of the Long March!

"This chicken coop, you take a batch of trustworthy ones, and by the way, bring a battalion! I don't plan to release you anymore, you are looking for a group of people in the army and among the cadres these days, and in the future, the supply and marketing cooperatives will be used as nodes to carry out supervision activities. ”

Ah Ku hurriedly bowed and said, "I will not disgrace my life!"

Chicken coop, temporary city building.

Liu Mingfeng took advantage of the New Year's Festival to convene a meeting of all cadres again.

Except for the 11 cadres who took turns to rest, all of them were present.

Compared with the high spirits of a few months ago, Liu Mingfeng looked a little tired at the moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and his complexion had become dark.

Migrants are starting to show up, and they're on the run! The garrison has also sent a request for reinforcements, but there are too many people, and the garrison no longer dares to disperse the attack, but only dares to defend the settlement.

The development of chicken coops can even be declared a failure, and even the initial food has been almost lost, and if you want to hold on any longer, you must ask for food transfer.

Fortunately, the chicken coop at this time was separated from the military and the government, so Liu Mingfeng was not impeached by the military, and the military only helped to fight Shengfan, regardless of who brewed it.

"Everyone also knows that the situation is critical right now, and we have some trouble with the construction of the chicken coop! But there are fifty of us, one is prosperous and one is lost, and the future and destiny are pinned on this land, and we can't disappoint you no matter what, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to rise in this life......" Liu Mingfeng's voice was a little hoarse, and he glanced at the people present with his eyes as he spoke.

Most of the cadres present lowered their heads, and a few people glared angrily at Liu Mingfeng, Chen Junyou was one of them, he blatantly wrote that letter, that is, he didn't want to see the people suffer again, and he didn't want to see the people being cut off again.

He regretted very much that he agreed with Liu Mingfeng's measures at the beginning, if someone insisted on one or two and opposed one or two at that time, I am afraid it would not lead to such a result.

In less than four months, the advance team of chicken coops with abundant supplies and neat personnel has started to think of fleeing 20,000 immigrants again.

"But there's not enough food!" Someone suddenly interrupted.

Liu Mingfeng glanced at the man and squeezed out a few words: "I have a way to eat!"

"What's the solution? You don't think about it and don't tell the government the truth, do you? The man asked.

"I can't tell the government that this time in the five cities, if we are the only ones who want to mobilize food, what will the king think?" Liu Mingfeng was resolute.

"Then watch 20,000 people starve to death?" Chen Junyou was also angry, he was dissatisfied with Liu Mingfeng's "way of being an official" earlier, but he didn't expect that in just a few months, this guy would stab the basket.

"I said, I have a way to eat!"

"What's the solution?"

"Don't worry, I know a businessman from the Ming Kingdom, and he can give us a sum of food on credit! As long as you hold on to this moment, when the next season of rice is planted, you will carry it! ”

"What kind of solution is this?"

"That is, what is the fault of these people that they want to go with you to raise debts?"

"Merchants are not allowed to interfere with the administration of justice, do you owe it on behalf of the government, or on behalf of the people?"

More and more people are dissatisfied, and the scene is faintly out of control.

Peng-Liu Mingfeng slapped the table and said gloomily: "I have already spoken first, our group of people, one is prosperous, one is lost, I do these things, you all nod!" Now that something has gone wrong, we can only help each other in the same boat! As you can see, these days are not without results! We've built a lot of canals and ponds, and we've opened a trail on Chicken Coop Hill!

Everyone believes me, as long as we hold on to this stage, our agriculture will be self-sufficient, and we will be able to turn over immediately! When the time comes, the sulfur on Jilong Mountain can also quickly prosper commerce! When the time comes, give the people more compensation, and they will forgive us! ”

When the matter came to an end, Liu Mingfeng was still putting the facts on the table, and many people were lucky and lowered their heads.

Chen Junyou was not lightly angry, he stood up reluctantly, ripped off the small square cloth with the name of the position and the representative cadre on his chest, and he angrily reprimanded: "Let the people understand us? I'm sorry, I've been oppressed enough by the officials in the Ming Kingdom, and my mother was also beaten and injured by the officials and died. You daydream about it, I will resign and go back to farming, and I won't follow you to get the people in the lake! ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Junyou turned around and left.

The audience was in an uproar, and after a while, a few more cadres tore off the small square cloth and went out together.

Liu Mingfeng's face was pale, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only let people run up and persuade him.
