Chapter 571 Peach Blossom Spring

After drinking a glass of wine, Wang Xiaolie said: "I always hope that this world is simple. Officials should do things in a proper manner and get paid according to their salary. As long as they do things in a proper manner, no one will cause trouble, and no one will cause trouble if they do.

Don’t be afraid. The money you get based on salary should be very generous. Not only can you support your family in Hukou, but you can also drink and eat meat, and have your own hobbies. If everyone does this, it will be convenient for the government and the people. However, hope is just hope, not everyone

They all think so. Therefore, there is no way to strengthen supervision of officials and sometimes even increase the punishment. I just hope that the people I know and have friendship with will not do such things. I hope they will do things in a down-to-earth manner.

Be an honest person——"

Wang Zhong nodded: "Xiaoshe is right, people should be like this!"

Wang Xiaolie smiled: "Most people can explain how people are supposed to live. If you just live, you will end up dead without knowing what happened."

Wang Zhongdao: "I still don't understand."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The flowers are becoming more and more charming, and sometimes you can't help yourself."

Wang Zhong shook his head. In his world, he couldn't understand these things. Xiao Sheren explained it so clearly, so what's wrong? As long as you do what Xiao Sheren said, how could you make a mistake?

A small army of several hundred people has shocked the world. When did Xiao Sheren say something wrong?

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Zhong: "Dad, in a few days, my sister will come to Luoyang——"

Wang Zhongdao: "By the way, the eldest lady has found a family in Xiangyang. Does Xiaoshe know about it?"

Wang Xiaolie was startled: "We have been fighting recently, but my sister didn't talk about it."

Wang Zhongdao: "Well, the eldest lady has had her own ideas since she was a child. She likes to have the final say on everything. I think she saw that the people in Xiaoshe were busy with wars, so she didn't tell you for a while. The father of this family is an official, and he is very good.

His family background. I have also met that official. He has fair complexion, knows books and responds to courtesy, which is quite suitable."

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and said: "I told my sister that she has the final say in her marriage, so why should I interfere? If my sister likes it, it must be excellent. How can it be an ordinary family? This matter is waiting for me.

When my sister comes to Luoyang, she will definitely understand."

Wang Zhongdao: "That's what Xiaoshe said."

Wang Xiaolie said: "What I want to tell Dad is that when you arrive in Luoyang, you don't have to work exclusively for my family -"

Wang Zhong was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "Why, Xiaosheren thinks I'm not doing a good job?"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Of course not. Without you, how can my sister live a good life on her own? I mean, when we get to Luoyang, I will arrange an errand for you."

Wang Zhong shook his head repeatedly: "I am from a farming background and I am illiterate, how can I become an official!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "As an official, but not an official, I can definitely do it."

Wang Zhongdao: "What kind of job is it? If it's farming, I've been familiar with it since I was a child."

Wang Xiaolie clapped his hands: "It's farming! When I was a child, I read Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring". Although the Qin people escaped from the world, it was like a fairyland, where people lived carefree. Isn't this kind of world what people dream of?

Since the golden thief invaded the south, the world has been in chaos. I don’t know how many people hope to have such a peach blossom garden. I don’t know what the real world will be like, but I hope to build a peach blossom garden in Luoyang to repose the hopes of the people. Inside

The people will be drawn from the states and counties under my rule, and they will be replaced every three years, or every five years, whichever time it will be decided. My father will be responsible for this peach blossom garden, how about it?"

"Peach Blossom Spring?" Wang Zhong looked at Yang Shen and Yu Huan with a confused look on his face. Who was Tao Yuanming and what was Peach Blossom Spring? Wang Zhong had no idea.

Yang Shen said: "Looking at Father Wang, I guess he hasn't read Mr. Wu Liu's "The Peach Blossom Spring"?"

Wang Zhongdao: "Which one is Mr. Wu Liu? But I have never heard of him."

Wang Xiao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you haven't read it. I'll read it for you in my free time. Tao Yuanming was born in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was a scholar. He was an official at first, but later resigned and went into seclusion to make a living by farming. "The Peach Blossom Spring"

It is a short article written by Tao Yuanming. It is said that a fisherman accidentally lost his way and arrived at a place. There was no government in that place, the land was flat, fertile, and full of mulberries and hemp. Everyone invited him to drink, saying that it was the troubled times of the late Qin Dynasty.

, these people fled here and never went out again. After the fishermen went out, they told the government, but they could no longer find their way."

Wang Zhong seemed to understand, but said "Oh".

Wang Xiaoxing said: "The land to the west of the imperial city is fertile. It's just a pity that the people have fled and there are a lot of idle fields. I want to encircle the place and invite the people from Xiazhou County to come and cultivate the fields while living here.

. Don’t expect to harvest much grain. The most important thing is to let officials know the suffering of the people. Don’t serve as an official for a few years and forget how the people live. Named Peach Blossom Spring, it is a commemoration of Mr. Wu Liu and let future generations not forget it.

These troubled times."

Wang Zhongdao: "As long as it's farming, I can do it."

Wang Xiaolie nodded with a smile: "It's just farming. Dad will definitely do well."

The main purpose of building a Peach Blossom Spring is to keep senior officials from being too far away from the lives of the people. Furthermore, these people are recruited from prefectures and counties, and they can also know the people's conditions below. The main purpose of building a Peach Blossom Spring is to be with the people.

The docking of officials who reflect public sentiment has little to do with the previous government yamen.

Of course Wang Zhong didn't understand this, and he didn't care. All Wang Xiaolie needed was an old farmer he could trust.

As the night progressed, several people became a little drunk and spoke a lot more wildly.

Wang Xiao huddled in his chair, watching several people laughing heartily, and rarely spoke.

These were the first old people who stayed with him and spent the most difficult years with Wang Xiaolie. They were not suitable for war and quit the army early.

How could Wang Xiaolie forget these old people? Without them, how could he be where he is today? But this is his own feelings and has nothing to do with official matters. Wang Xiaolie will not give them any official positions just because of personal relationships. Some people have found suitable positions early on.

His own position, such as Yang Shen. Some people tried again and again, such as Yu Huan. He couldn't lead troops or serve as an official, and finally found a suitable position to manage the camp. Some people couldn't do anything.

, such as Wang Zhong. After a long time, he finally found a position to manage Taohuayuan, and he was suitable for it.

In many cases, it is impossible to make a clear distinction between public and private matters. The big aspects can be managed, but the small aspects can only be determined by the individual. Whether it is for himself or the people under him, Wang Xiaolie's principle is to work

There should be remuneration and remuneration, and people should not be allowed to work for nothing. But apart from remuneration and remuneration, officials cannot extend their hands to public money and affairs. If not, they will be severely punished.

Merits must be rewarded, and faults must be punished. This sentence is simple to say, but how difficult it is to do. Merits and faults, public and private, are sometimes entangled together. How many people can tell the difference between those who have done the right thing? Some

Sometimes, it can only be confusing. Stick to the principles on big things, but don't make too clear a distinction on some small issues. It is said that public and private are separated, but how can they actually be clear? Pay attention to big things and don't worry about small things.

Wang Xiaolie has a principle. Under his subordinates, he will never allow those who have meritorious service to be criticized in various ways, and as a result, they will not be rewarded. Those who have meritorious service must be rewarded, even if they are people whom Wang Xiaolie hates, they must be rewarded.

It is not allowed to make a mistake and escape punishment because this person values ​​it, that person thinks favorably of it, or this person's relatives, or that person's friends. Even if it is one's own relatives and friends, it is the same.

In the officialdom, people who can do things are not allowed. People who dare to do things are like the god of plague and no one likes them. People who can't do things but can be good people will rise rapidly. In the end, those who are promoted will not be able to do things, and those who can do things can only be bureaucrats. If this is the case,

The most important thing is not which person is unlucky, or who is lucky, but it will bring bad officialdom, and even gods will not be able to save it.

To do this, Wang Xiaolie needs to exercise great restraint. No matter what happens, he should not let his emotions affect his official duties. He also needs to have a clear mind and not go to extremes no matter what. Even if it is the same thing, sometimes it will be like this

It's normal to handle things like that sometimes. You can't harm the system because of people, nor can you harm people because of the system. It's not easy to figure out the right balance.

Only by starting from himself can Wang Xiaolie ask others. If he does not restrain himself, even if his subordinates are obedient, they will not really listen. A leader not only wants his subordinates to obey, but also wants them to actively be themselves.
