An iron nail is missing, and a horseshoe is missing. Lost a horseshoe, lost a warhorse. Lose a horse, lose a battle. Lost a battle, ruined a dynasty.

This legend about Richard III, the last king of the York dynasty of England, although denied by modern historiography, is a good illustration of the influence of the butterfly effect.

When Goujian, the king of Yue, sent Fan Li to dedicate Xi Shi to Wu Wangfucha, Wu Zixu said: "The minister heard: Xia died with Yu Xi, Yin died with Daji, and Zhou died with praise. The king shall not bear the beauty of the husband and the loss of the country."

Wang Rong admitted that Wu Zixu was exaggerating, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, because the power of the pillow wind was too great. He didn't dare to guarantee that the generals under his command had always been so sensible, and once they were provoked by the women of the dead country's clan, something unbearable happened, it would be too late.

After Wang Rong dealt with the Zhao clan, he looked at the Ji Imperial Palace, which was shining golden in the firelight, and said to Li Sujie: "Put the valuable things that can be removed from the palace into the treasury, and when you return to the city, you will give them to the soldiers as a reward. If you can't move it, put it there, and then put away the wealth of the royal family of Ji Kingdom."

Li Sujie nodded and responded, "Wow!"

Wang Rong did not order the demolition of the imperial palace of Jiguo, and he did not have the habit of sabotage. He plans to make this a park open to the outside world, so that the people can have a good look at what the palace looks like and break the mystery in the hearts of the people.

Wang Wei instructed as he walked outside the imperial city: "Wang Mao, send a message to Mr. Huangfu, ask him to select capable civil officials to serve in Jizhou, and at the same time screen the original officials in Jizhou. Anyone who dares not to pay it will be beheaded!"

Wang Wei hurriedly recorded Wang Rong's words, although he was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask, Wang Rong's aura at this time was too powerful.

Wang Rong looked at the puzzled crowd around him and said, "You must be curious why I punish mediocre officials more severely than corrupt officials. In my eyes, mediocre officials are more hateful than corrupt officials, and this kind of official who "occupies the pit and does not" often harms the country.

What do the common people call us officials, and the scope of our activities, they call it "officialdom"! You think that's a compliment?! Wrong! This is a derogatory term, emphasizing the hypocrisy, fraud, pandering, and dumping characteristics of our officials, and in our officialdom, it is not the corrupt officials who have the most influence on the development of the country, but the mediocre officials.

Brother Cultivator, do you think the amount I gave you is high?"

Wang Rong's sudden question made Zhang Gengxiao stunned. Is Wang Rong's money high for Zhang Gengmi?

Zhang Gengxiao is now the head of the household department of Tang Guozheng's six products, with an annual salary of 200 taels of silver and 400 stone of rice per year.

If you want to say a lot, it's really a lot, much more than ordinary people. But for Zhang Gengxiao, it is really not enough. 400 Shilu rice, which is not all rice, but also sorghum, corn and other miscellaneous grains.

Zhang Gengxiao must not eat these miscellaneous grains, so he can only reward the servants of the house, two hundred taels of silver, and he has to reward the servants in the house, and he has to give them to his wife at home, and he has to raise horses and sedan chairmen, and he has to entertain. Socializing and taking money is the most cheesy, the generals like it more, and the ministers like it even more, such as calligraphy and painting, such as porcelain.

But the price of good calligraphy, painting and porcelain is very gratifying, the kind that can make Zhang Gengxiao cry with joy. If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Songqi's entire old father still had some inventory, it would be embarrassing to take out the calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain that Zhang Gengqi bought with his money.

Even Zhang Gengxiao, Wang Rong's quasi-brother-in-law, is like this, let alone others. Zhang Gengmi, Zhang Yunshu and Zhang Songqi, an old man, are foiled, not to mention those who spend money lavishly like Yuan Tiangang.

Wang Rong looked at the generals around him and said, "I know that you spend a lot of money on social entertainment, and the money I have given is not enough to cover this expense, so you must make up for it from other places. Because of this, in the foreign war, I will turn a blind eye to some of your things, as long as it does not touch my bottom line, I will not see it.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, limited by various conditions, this practice of "having to be greedy" appeared. Because not greedy, self and

His family starved to death, and greed broke the law. And once there are too many greedy people, if you don't start to make money, you will sometimes be regarded as an "outsider" and ostracized by your colleagues.

In this way, whether or not they are corrupt cannot be used as a measure of whether or not the ancient officials have contributed to society."

In the feudal period, it is true that corruption cannot be used as a measure of whether or not ancient officials contributed to society. Don't say far, just talk about closer.

Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty, in order to raise military expenses and enable himself to successfully recruit Japanese, also had the fact of corruption. But compared with his contribution to the Ming Dynasty, corruption is a trivial matter.

Wang Rong continued, "Compared with corrupt officials, mediocre officials who do nothing are more hateful. As an official of the imperial court, he is to work for the common people and share the worries of the king. But the mediocre officials did nothing, they threw government and military affairs to their subordinate officials, and became the shopkeepers themselves.

They believe that when officials solve problems, they cannot clarify all the circumstances in detail, nor can they clearly express their attitude. If not, if there is some kind of accident, it will definitely affect his status, and he may even be punished by the king. Therefore, to solve the problem, we need to grasp the scale and be ambiguous.

The ambiguity of bullshit, the major affairs of the state, and the people, how can they be allowed to deal with it ambiguously?! There are also mediocre officials who talk rhetorically and can speak well, but they don't do anything in fact.

As an official of the Tang State, it is necessary to be an officer, loyal to his duties, and diligent in serving the people, which is the most basic requirement for me to be an official in the Tang State! If the incumbent of the official does not act and does not do anything after taking the money, what is the difference between such a mediocre official, a lazy official, and a peace official and a "clay statue"? Honesty and honesty are the foundation of government, and diligence is the key to good government. That's why I arranged it that way."

Zhang Gengxiao, Li Sujie and others listened to Wang Rong's words and suddenly realized. Then, they heard Wang Rong say: "Send a letter to Mr. Huangfu quickly, the matter of Jizhou officials is the top priority, and this Jizhou is not the end of the battle, and it must be able to govern it well. Also, this imperial palace will be open to the people in the future, and they will be free to visit and children can play at will."

Wang Rong has not built any palace until now, because he feels that he does not have that need now, and the maintenance cost of a palace is too high, and Tang Guo cannot afford it now.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Rong looked at everyone and said, "The letter has been taken down, and then there are Hejian County, Bohai County, Youguo, Yi Kingdom, and Yu Kingdom, which are the world. We have a long way to go, so don't let up."
