Chapter 169: The Kingdom of the Earth
The recent performance of Taiping Dao people has attracted many people's attention.
Whatever he did in the morning, he would appear on Jiang Hua's desk at noon, and he would also appear on many people's desks.
When he came to Wang's territory, he ushered in two genuine ministers, two ministers who broke through temporarily, and four ministers surrounded him.
But the Taiping Dao people were not worried at all, the spirit treasure of the Book of Heaven was useless, and they directly took the nine-section scepter and gently knocked on their heads a few times, and the battle was over.
The first minister who made a temporary breakthrough was lightly knocked by the Taiping Dao people, and his brain was opened on the spot and he died.
His death also woke up the other three, and the three of them instantly began to burn their bloodlines and evolve into true bodies.
However, transformation also requires a process, and with the help of this breath, the Taiping Daoist has already come to the vicinity of the second temporary breakthrough prime minister, and with a light knock on his head, he also has a big brain.
Followed by two phoenixes, one fire and one water, cooperate with each other, and there is a vague trend of yin and yang changes.
As if in order to further prove their strength, the Taiping Dao people actually stood aside with their hands tied, waiting for the cooperation of the two. A moment later, when the two joined forces to evolve a piece of Yin and Yang Divine Light, the spell of the Taiping Daoist had already been prepared, he gently danced the Nine Scepters, and a Taiping World appeared around him, and wisps of world power protected his body, and the Yin and Yang Divine Light could not descend at all.
Without waiting for the two to be surprised, the Taiping Daoist stepped out and gave one of them another look.
The whole battle has no beauty at all, it's just one person at a time.
The Changkong Daoist once analyzed: "That Taiping World may be his Dao Fruit, the Taiping and prosperous world in his mind, and the power of the world evolved from this has the characteristics of a bit of human level power, and it can't be said that ten thousand laws will not invade, but at least it can weaken the threat of most Dao laws." ”
"Directly use the power of the world, this is to stand up. He may really only be one step away from becoming an innate real person. Now it's just to fine-tune, or to witness the real peaceful world, so there is no breakthrough. ”
"With a strength like his, even if he encounters the first monarch, even if he encounters the Xiangliu that descended in the middle of Meishan at the beginning, it is enough to break through directly before being killed by Xiangliu. After the breakthrough, it is difficult to say who sleeps and who wins. ”
Recalling the performance of the Taiping Dao people, Jiang Hua could only say one word for his strength: Cow!
"Now that you've proven your strength, which county is Mr. willing to choose next?"
"Of these ten counties, some are directly attached to the Chaohe River, and some are close to Chunmu County, Liujun County, and Dong County."
"Those who stick to the Chao River can do business with the Chao Country in the future, there are many nobles in the Chao Kingdom, there are many savages and common people, and those nobles have a lot of wealth hidden underground."
"Even at this moment, every day, a large number of common people, savages, materials, gold, silver, copper, iron, etc. come to Yancheng along the Chao River, and every day Yancheng will take out a large number of magic weapons, Xuanjia, and talismans to sell to the entire Chao country."
"If you choose to be close to Chaohe, you can partially participate in this foreign trade and enjoy part of the profits."
"If you choose to be close to Chunmu County, Liujun County, and Dong County, you can enjoy the reconstruction and development benefits of these three counties, and in the process of reconstruction, there will also be a lot of demand, as long as you grasp it, you don't have to worry about the living problems of the people under your rule."
Regarding Jiang Hua's narration, Taiping Daoist listened very seriously, and would ask questions from time to time.
After a while, the Taiping Daoist said with sincerity on his face: "Now I don't know how to govern the country, I haven't governed a county or a county before, I haven't even governed a village, and now I directly govern a county, will something happen?" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Hua knew that Taiping Dao people were much more reliable than Wang Jujun.
That Wang Jujun is very confident, and he is not afraid of anything!
"Something can happen, something can fail, this question is not the decisive factor, but the impact is not small."
"However, Daoists can simply divide officials into officials who deal with specific affairs and officials who are responsible for the direction of governance."
"The former is used to do the work, and the latter is used to guide the country and decide what to do."
"For example, after thinking about it, Daoist friends decided to raise taxes."
"Ah, I don't raise taxes, and it's useless for me to ask for that money." Taiping Daoist subconsciously retorted.
Ahem
"Fellow Daoist, in many cases, it is not up to you to decide whether to increase taxes or not, nor do you not raise taxes if you are not greedy, but to see if you have the money to maintain the operation of the whole whole. In many cases, the monarchs and the rulers also know that the disadvantages of raising taxes are very great, and they dare to add a penny of tax to the bottom, and when it comes to the common people at the bottom, they may have to pay an extra ten yuan in tax. ”
"Every time they raise taxes, a lot of families will go bankrupt because of it, and they will end up ruined."
"But there is no way, they increase the taxes of the small people, but the small people's families are ruined, and they can at least live well. And if the tax of the nobles is added, this decree will not be passed at all, and even if it is forcibly passed, no one will enforce it. Even if it is really implemented, the nobles have a thousand and ten thousand ways to pass on all the costs to the small people. ”
"Whoever dares to do this, I will kill him!"
"What if all the nobles were like that?"
"Then kill all the nobles!" Taiping Taoist firm way.
"Moreover, now that these ten counties do not even have a population, where are the nobles from? Since there are no nobles, there is no need for nobles, I originally wanted to build a truly ideal earthly Taoist country! ”
"Li Sheng once mentioned the concept of a small country and a widow, and I plan to put it into practice."
"Li Sheng once said that if you govern a big country with small food, he once said that a small country has a small people, in my opinion, every county can be regarded as a small country, and every vassal state can be regarded as a small country composed of several counties."
"I'm here to build a small country that belongs to the Taoists themselves."
Listening to the concept of the Taiping Dao people, Jiang Hua nodded and did not comment.
As long as it's not an anti-human idea, love thinks about it, and thinking is the most complicated thing. It is even more difficult to change the mind of an adult.
"Lone means that even if you don't have the experience of the ruling party, you can govern a place."
"Take the old aristocracy as an example, most of the old nobles don't know how to farm, they don't do business, they don't know how to strike iron, and they can't engage in some production and life labor, they will socialize, ride horses, shoot arrows, fight, train, fight, and hunt monsters."
"Most of the old nobles have abilities that are not directly related to the governing side, but after so many thousands of years, the whole world is still generally good."
"These old aristocrats often pat their heads and come up with all kinds of unbelievable ideas, and then the people under their rule start to be unlucky, which is a toss. In fact, most of the old aristocracy's administrative ability was not up to the standard level, and less tossing could make the life of the people below better. ”
"So, even if I don't have any experience in governing a party, can I govern a place well? Or is the key to governing a place well is not tossing? ”
Regarding this question of Taiping Daoist, Jiang Hua did not answer directly.
"For example, the Taishou Mansion issued an order, and this order would first be passed down from level to level, first to the county order, and after the county order was studied, then tell the township chiefs below what to do, and after the township chiefs received the order passed by the county order, they would tell the village chiefs what to do."
"The village chiefs went to beat the gongs and drums to gather the people and tell them that an order was given from above today."
"But if this order can be executed well and the initial effect can be achieved, it is not necessarily."
"Maybe when this order was at the county level, it began to change shape and go out of shape."
"For example, the county guard ordered that next year's grain output should be increased by 10% on the basis of this year, and after everyone goes down, they should work more on agriculture and spend more effort in the fields."
"Maybe the purpose of the county guard was to persuade farmers and to raise everyone's attention to agriculture."
"However, when this order reached the county level, in order to keep their official hats, or to make their counties more prominent, they patted their heads and said to their subordinates, our county will increase production by 20% next year, if you can't achieve it, don't blame me for turning my face."
"The county order puts pressure on the township, so that even if some townships can't achieve the goal of 20%, they can complete the tasks assigned by the county guard at the beginning as a whole."
"If the township puts pressure on the village, when the village chief announces it to the people, it may become a 40 or even 50 percent increase in production."
"This is called layer by layer, and it is one of the common methods used by officials."
"In fact, the officials are far more exaggerated than I said, the county decides to increase the tax by one dollar per citizen, the county decree decides to increase the tax by two dollars per citizen, the township dares to collect three yuan, and the village dares to collect four yuan."
"No matter what kind of political philosophy you have, no matter what kind of system you plan to establish, it will ultimately be implemented through people, and these people are the so-called officials."
"So, since ancient times, the first thing many people in power do after coming to power is to rectify these officials, make them obedient, and then they can do something."
"Adding layers and doing nothing is a common way for officials to confront their bosses."
"In addition, there are many means that ordinary people can't think of, in short, how to govern officials and how to make officials obedient has been a big problem since ancient times."
"After you become a county guard, this is also a problem that you have to face."
Hearing this, the Taiping Daoist remembered the first half of his life, when he had been in and out of many savage villages as a traveling doctor, and also in and out of many villages and towns, it was indeed difficult to explain.
"What Daoyou said is true, many things the old man had personally seen back then, but he didn't expect the problem to be so serious. However, it also strengthened my determination! ”
As he spoke, Zhang Jiao raised the teacup in his hand and drank it in a big gulp: "In the future county where I will govern, there is no need for nobles, and there is no need for nobles at all." As for the governance side, it is all left to the Taoist. ”
"Even the number of officials will be greatly reduced, I once went to Dongning Island to investigate, and I was deeply impressed and inspired by the magic instruments such as the Mirror of Inquiry and the Gong on it."
"Human beings are not trustworthy, and human nature is not trustworthy, and among the earthly Dao kingdoms I have established, the country will be governed according to the Dao law."
"I will try my best to set up similar ritual weapons in every village, and in every township, set up similar ritual instruments."
"Moreover, these ten counties are not big, and when the time comes, I will not set up counties directly, but directly set up more than 20 large townships, anyway, with my energy, it is enough for me to govern these more than 20 large townships well. If necessary, I will directly cut out more than twenty avatars and personally deal with each of the large towns. ”
This county was originally four counties in size, and one county was still a pure forest and mountain range, and there were many demons and monsters in it, which was not suitable for survival at all.
The territory of the three counties is divided into 20 large townships without any problem.
The Taiping Dao people themselves have divided into more than 20 incarnations to act as the township chief, so that each township is equivalent to the Taiping Dao people themselves watching.
Considering the strength of the Taiping Daoist, the strength of his more than 20 incarnations must also be extraordinary, at least at the level of a Taoist.
A Taoist priest, as long as he wants, can walk the village under his rule from east to west and south to north with his feet every day. At that time, no matter what the problem is, it can be solved as soon as possible.
In this way, the Taiping Dao people are equivalent to using their own strength, using powerful cultivation, plus a series of magic weapons, to directly replace more than ninety percent of the officials.
It's really interesting to have such a county.
What will develop in the future, Jiang Hua can't say. But what is certain is that the experiment in this county must be very interesting, and the final result must be worth writing about. Whether it is success or failure, it is enough for future generations to study and learn more.
"In this way, I can reduce the number of officials to a minimum, and with all kinds of magic weapons, I will definitely be able to build a beautiful earthly Dao country!"
Hearing this, Jiang Hua arched his hand towards the Taiping Daoist, which was a dream to admire him.
"Fellow Daoist, can the conversation between us be open? If I can, I intend to publish directly in a new journal. ”
"If you are willing, I can give you a thousand families for free when the next group of people arrives."
"With these 1,000 households, Daoyou can first become a township head, and wait until a month later, there is no problem in this township, and then add more population to Daoyou, so that you can not only practice your hands for Daoyou, but also make the people safer."
"Okay!" The Taiping Daoist nodded affirmatively.
"By the way, what journal do you plan to publish it in?"
"I plan to start a new journal, called Hundred Schools of Thought, which is mainly divided into two modules, one is to discuss the views of fellow Daoists on the world of Datong, and the other is to record the specific development and changes of these ten counties in detail."
"A hundred schools of thought? Pretty good. This moral is also very good. ”
I'm on duty tonight, it's miserable.
