649 Don't talk about ghosts and gods, only ask about the common people

After the ancient literature school replaced the modern literature school, the pragmatism idea of "respecting ghosts and gods and staying away" also began to take root in fact.

Under Liu Bei's vigorous push, the theocratic government of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which the three emperors of Guangwu, Ming, and Zhang had tried so hard to establish, had de facto collapsed, and a secular government was gradually taking shape.

The secular government, which has been freed from the influence of theocratic ideology, has made great leaps and bounds in the specific level of affairs, which is embodied in [not talking about ghosts and gods, only asking about the common people].

Under the auspices of Liu Bei, the rules of the original Eastern Han Dynasty Emperor Dominance Period of the Five Days and Ten Days Dynasty were completely broken.

Liu Bei himself focuses on a [diligent government], no matter what happens, he will deal with government affairs as soon as possible, and even take the lead in working overtime, working overtime to deal with government affairs, giving instructions as quickly as possible, and requiring officials to implement them as quickly as possible.

For Liu Bei's subordinates in Liangzhou, this was not surprising.

In Liangzhou that year, Liu Bei handled government affairs in this efficient way, and quickly reversed the collapse of Liangzhou, put Liangzhou on the right track, and successfully saved Liangzhou.

And now, this scene has appeared in the center of the empire - Luoyang.

However, the things that the officials of Liangzhou are used to, the lords of the Luoyang court are not used to, and for the lords of the Luoyang court, this is not something that makes them feel happy.

Although the people of the ancient literature school are not as pampered as the masters of the modern literature school, relatively speaking, compared with the cadres of Liu Bei's headquarters, they are not a little bit down.

Liu Bei's efficiency is extremely high, it takes half a day for ordinary officials and masters to deal with a matter leisurely, while Liu Bei only needs half a day to deal with most of the workload of the old men for half a month or even a month.

Therefore, the officials who are not Liu Bei's headquarters bear extremely huge pressure when they do things - Liu Bei himself has a high level of efficiency, and he has high requirements for his subordinates, and he needs his subordinates to keep up with his rhythm, and he must not procrastinate, and he must do things as quickly as possible.

The affairs within the scope of Henan Yin must be completed within one day, the affairs in the Sanhe area must be completed within three days, and the affairs in the Sanfu area must be completed within seven days, and those who exceed the time will be punished.

Liu Beicai didn't care so much, the guys in the Luoyang Imperial Court had been casual and extravagant for so many years, and some people even forgot what their duties were about, and if they didn't help them think about it, they really thought they were here for a vacation.

But where did the officials of the Luoyang Imperial Court experience such a hell?

They are accustomed to doing things slowly, accustomed to throwing each other off without taking responsibility, accustomed to handing over to their subordinates to deal with difficulties when they encounter difficulties, and thinking about making money all day long, who wants to take responsibility?

There are a lot of things they need to run around and go to various departments to ask about implementation.

For example, when Liu Bei asked them about the changes in vegetable and grain prices throughout January, they would go to the street to find the relevant departments to retrieve the records, and if there was a problem with the records, they would have to argue with the market management department.

To determine if the data is true, they also need to ask petty traders and even passers-by to determine what is really going on.

Then I went to every legal trading area in the Luoyang Market, and did what I had done before in these places.

In the past, it was possible for such a thing to take a month or two, and even in the end, if it couldn't be done, he would just fill in the numbers and fool around, but Liu Bei couldn't accept it.

He arranged for the three waves of people who did not know each other's existence to deal with the same matter, and if the three waves of people came to different conclusions, they had to ask them what was going on and see what they were doing.

At first, some officials who didn't know Liu Bei's way of doing things tried to take advantage of the loopholes, thinking of being simpler and filling in a few numbers to fool Liu Bei, but Liu Bei saw the problem and called the three waves of people together to ask them the results.

In the end, the three waves of people were dumbfounded together, punished together, and all lost their official hats.

In the first month, more than 20 people lost their official hats and were dismissed from their official positions by Liu Bei, and it was not easy for anyone to intercede, so Liu Bei's reputation for ruling with an iron fist spread, and the people behind learned a lesson, knowing that Liu Bei was not easy to fool, so he could only run around and do things without slacking off.

The more he goes to the back, Liu Bei's requirements for time are stricter, if he thinks that something that can be solved in a day is not solved on time, the responsible person will wait to be scolded and punished, if Liu Bei is even more dissatisfied, it is very likely to be swept out of the house and lose his official hat.

As for how to get it done, that's your business, not mine.

Want to be an official and wield power? Want to be powerful?

OK.

But you also have to have the ability!

The loss of official positions is a consequence that bureaucrats cannot accept in any case, and it is more cost-effective than running around rather than losing official positions.

Liu Bei gave an order, and many things needed them to go to Luoyang Street to deal with, and more things needed them to go to various counties and farms in Yin, Henan Province to handle, and they needed to have extensive contact with those grassroots officials who handled general affairs in the local area.

It's not something that can be done in just two days.

Liu Bei prepared a lot of horses for them, gave them enough help in transportation, and could also give some food subsidies, and then - go on a business trip for the master!

Want to sit in the office and drink tea and read the newspaper?

If you don't exist, I'll do everything!

In the face of Liu Bei's ultra-high efficiency and ultra-high service requirements, the leisurely officials and gentlemen were miserable and unable to resist, so they could only force themselves to glow with the explosive power of the youthful version, keep up with Liu Bei's pace, and run everywhere to do things.

It was really dark when I was busy, and it was a morning when I lowered my head, and I just had breakfast here, and when I looked up, it was already afternoon, and it was time for lunch.

Some people are too busy to have lunch, so they can only take dry food and ride on horseback to deal with a few mouthfuls while hurrying, giving up their appetite to avoid being held accountable by Liu Bei.

Under the leadership of Liu Bei, the decaying and old machine of the Luoyang Imperial Court began to run at an ultra-high speed, and the sudden high-speed operation after not running for a long time will of course bring some problems, and it is natural to have some labor pains for a while.

Adhering to the principle that human resources cannot be wasted, some traditional Qingshui Yamen, such as the officials of the Three Princes' Mansion, some civil affairs management departments, and those officials who have no future and no official business have not been let go, and they have all been taken out to do things.

If you don't have a specific leader, then be responsible for running errands, sending news to this side, sending news to that side, uploading and disseminating, it's up to you!

Get rid of the No. 11 bus and run for me, you can't be slow to deliver the news, I want you to look good!

As long as you take the court's money, no one is allowed to stop, run for me, stir up for me, and do things for me!

Even those guys who were mainly responsible for the mouth cannon, such as Yilang and Doctor Taizhong, who had nothing to do, were not spared, and were all pulled out by Liu Bei to help out.

Considering their different levels of knowledge, Liu Bei did not give them important things, but handed over more complicated text transcription work to them, and they became the royal scribe group, copying documents that needed to be copied and backed up all day long in the room.

There were more and more documents, their wrists were getting more and more sore, their eyes were getting straighter, their necks were getting more and more uncomfortable, and their hair was falling out more and more.

But there is no way, there are still more and more documents that need to be transcribed, more and more, and more endlessly-the Luoyang court is not only dealing with new things, but even some old cases in old files have been taken out for retrial.

Nothing has been left behind.

Just three months after Liu Bei took power, the decaying, old and slow Luoyang Imperial Court burst out with powerful vitality in an unprecedented manner.

Under Liu Bei's spur, the bureaucrats ran.

They don't have time for intrigue, no time to read and practice calligraphy, no time to party, drink and party, they can only do things, and they can take a little rest after working for ten days in a row, but now they don't know when they can rest.

Of course, Liu Bei was very "kind" to change the original rule that officials could not go home after work.
