In the previous stage of the operation, the young imperial historians of the Imperial Historical Observatory attacked from all sides, bringing very bad memories and impressions to the local officials, and indeed seized the empirical evidence of many officials who were fraudulent and evil, and ruthlessly pulled some scum off the horse.

Since he had such achievements, Liu Bei didn't want to toss them more, so he decided to use the captain of Sili to be responsible for the supervision of officials in the entire Sili region, and Yushitai to be responsible for the supervision tasks of the twelve states of the Han Dynasty outside the Sili area.

The Imperial Historical Observatory needs to be expanded, and it is also necessary to set up local branches of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and like the Zhongshutai, there must be local work departments.

The difference is that the Zhongshutai needs to face the civil affairs directly, so it is necessary to set up branches in each county, while the Yushitai is aimed at officials, and the number of people is smaller, so it is enough to set up branches in each state.

The Goshidai branch in each prefecture dispatched permanent staff to regularly inspect the prefectures to inspect the achievements of officials and the implementation of the tasks and objectives set by the imperial court.

Guo Hong and Ma Riyan became the two main persons in charge of this work, and it is obvious that compared to Guo Hong's ease, Ma Riyan is under a lot of pressure.

He is actually closer to the identity of a scholar-type official, and he is not very proficient in the handling of specific affairs, but he was pushed to this position by Liu Bei, and he could only catch the ducks on the shelves, and he carried the grievances of many officials as the master of the famous family.

In July of the fourth year of Jian'an, this wave of restructuring has good news and bad news for Ma Riyan.

The good news is that the resentment of the officials in the region of Luoyang or the entire Sili region will not be directed against him, and the guys in Luoyang City will not be full of resentment against him.

The bad news is that the grievances of officials across the country outside the Sili region will be concentrated and pointed at him.

Liu Bei's specific method of doing things to Yushitai was to find bastards who did not complete the task or pretended to complete the task, collect evidence, report it to Luoyang, and hand it over to the Third Department of Justice.

Although they do not participate in the final trial and do not make decisions, they are mainly responsible for this process, and they will inevitably become the existence of the world's officials and the object of their grievances.

Since ancient times, the guy who opposes the officials will not have a good end, and if he can die a straight death, it will be regarded as the green smoke from the ancestral tomb, if he is not the master of the famous family, and there is a layer of academic identity to protect his safety, he really does not dare to take on this responsibility.

So throughout the meeting, Ma Riyan's expression was not very good.

Naturally, this does not mean that Guo Hong's expression is relaxed.

Guo Hong also faintly felt the pressure he had to face under the new system, but Guo Hong was responsible for the original task of Captain Sili, and I just want to say that there is a difference, that is, it used to be a selective and flexible implementation, but now, it has become a hard implementation.

Liu Bei's requirements are all rigid.

Everyone may have more resentment towards him, but there was no less in the first place, otherwise how did the title "Crouching Tiger" come from?

From this point of view, the pressure of Captain Sili, who is already a disgusting being, is less than that of Doctor Yushi.

Compared with the huge pressure of the supervision officials, the pressure on the administrative officials will only be even greater, they clearly realize that their good life is over, Liu Bei will not allow them to live a good life, and they will have to link it to their political performance from now on.

Or there will be some drawbacks to doing this, but Liu Bei knows very well that if you don't do this, the disadvantages will be even greater.

There is no way to get the best of both worlds in the world, the lesser of two evils, Liu Bei decided to toss the officials fiercely to make the disadvantages a little smaller.

So he lowered his whip and raised his sword.

As for this matter, Guo Hong and Ma Riyan have some opinions, although they both have a relatively high status in the new reform, but they both have their own views on this matter.

In short, they thought that Liu Bei's repeated tossing was not a very good thing for him and the entire government.

"Your idea is indeed okay, but for most people, getting by is the norm, your requirements are high, maybe it's okay at first, but after a long time, whether it's in the court or locally, there will definitely be problems.

There will be people who will take advantage of all sorts of loopholes in their policies, just like all the policies that have been promulgated by the imperial court before, and how can you make sure that this doesn't happen? ”

Guo Hong said.

And Ma Riyan basically agrees with Guo Hong's opinion.

"And more importantly, there will be a lot of opponents, and they are likely to think that this is a new special operation against certain people, and it is likely to cause new turmoil, and you must know that after this policy is implemented, it is not you who will suffer the most."

"I know that there will be people in the eunuchs and the ancient literature school who will oppose this policy, and I probably know how many corpses are in the entire Han Dynasty's official ranks, and how many people are sitting and eating empty mountains, but this is not a reason for me not to do anything.

If someone opposes it, then persuade them, if you can't convince them, then defeat them, this matter, I am determined to do it, no matter what way others look at me, I will not change my mind, I am imperative! ”

Ma Riyan still shook his head.

"Xuande, your intentions are good, and I also believe that you can eventually promote this matter, you hope that officials will do something and take responsibility, but you must know that this is not in line with human nature, human nature is willing to be lazy and greedy, you want them to come the opposite, how easy is it to say?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then sighed slowly.

"I never thought I could change that, and I never thought I could get them to do exactly what I said, and I knew there was going to be a problem."

Guo Hong and Ma Riyan glanced at each other.

"That ......"

"There is no perfect policy in the world, there is never a good thing that has the best of both worlds, whether it is the policy above or the countermeasures below, it is changing all the time, and it is the so-called one hundred battles in one day.

However, can I discard the positive meaning of doing so just because it has drawbacks? Can I stop solving existing problems because it's going to go wrong? Guo Gong, Ma Gong, people will die if they eat too much, so will people not eat because of this? ”

Guo Hong and Ma Riyan suddenly didn't know what to say.

"No matter what policy is enacted, there will be problems in the future, but can the current benefits be denied because of the problems in the future?"

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Everything in the world is in motion, and it is foolish to expect a policy to be permanent, and if there is a problem, it must be solved by using a method, and when the method becomes a problem, it will be solved by a new method."

The biggest mistake of being in power is that the peasants can not move, the officials cannot move, and I must not move by all means.

No matter what problems there are in the future, just deal with them in a targeted manner, the problems will not disappear, they will only increase, and our solution to the problem is also a problem in itself, but that doesn't mean we should do nothing, right? ”
