When he returned to his residence that day, Wang Xiaolie drank a little wine and took a rest early. The life of a newlywed was rich and colorful, and naturally it was incomparable to usual times.

The next day, when he arrived at the government office and processed some official documents, Wang Xiaolie specially selected official documents related to public security in the city to read. After reading for a while, he had a rough idea.

For example, places near the Gardening Department have recently moved in some people who have fled. These people have no assets and no livelihood, which makes Henan Prefecture very headache. Although as the residence of Xuanfu Department, Henan Prefecture has spent a lot of money to build

People nearby offered food and clothing, but they couldn't solve the root cause.

Putting down the official document, Wang Xiaolie stood up and looked out the window.

It is already early winter, the cold wind is picking up, and the weather is obviously getting colder. The soldiers are busy repairing the fire road, and the government hall is about to start lighting the fire.

The leaves on the trees have withered and become bare. Only a few pine trees still maintain their green color. The branches of a piece of peony planted have been cut off, leaving only a small stump on the ground. It is said that it will grow well next year.

.

Looking at the scenery in early winter, Wang Xiaolie thought about the security in the city and how to deal with it.

Wang Xiaolie once said that officials should understand some statistics and learn to use statistical methods to deal with social affairs. Now that I think about it, this is right.

What are the various affairs in society like? To put it simply, although things in society are completed by people one by one, they show statistical patterns. Why is this? Wang Xiaolie can't explain.

How can things in this world be explained clearly? Human beings still know too little and don’t know too much.

Human beings will measure things in the world, form definitions, form various theories, and communicate with each other. When measuring, people will get a measured value to approximate the true value. What is the true value?

, human beings never know, all they know is the measured value. At this time, how to treat this measured value becomes a problem. In other words, it is a problem considered by Western civilization.

This is what they call rationality. There is a measured value and a real value. Which one is the original way of the world?

Chinese people preach. The characteristic of Tao is that I understand the existence of Tao, but I don’t know what this Tao looks like. Just like when we measure an object and measure the temperature, we will get a value, but this value is always approximate, and the method used is more accurate.

The precision is closer to the real value. But here is the object, I know there must be a real temperature value, but I can't measure it, I can only make an infinite approximation.

The definitions, formulas, principles, etc. based on these measurements are all approximations. It’s just that some approximations are more accurate, some are rougher, and some are pure nonsense. What we don’t know is, in essence,

What is their relationship.

It is said that China is a civilization different from the West because we recognize the existence of Tao but not the existence of pure reason. Although some people talk about pure reason, they do not know the origin of pure reason and what it is.

Fundamentally speaking, according to what we know now, the world is quantized. On the other hand, each of these quanta shows certain regularity, which is in line with the laws of statistics. Why? I don’t know.

The same goes for society. It is composed of individuals, but in sociology, it shows certain social laws. The most fundamental thing is, is it the individuals who make up the society, or the laws of sociology? In other words, which of the two?

One that is more important and fundamental?

Wang Xiaolie believes that social laws are more important and fundamental. However, this does not mean that individual people are not important. No matter what science it is, avoid making such either/or judgments. Under certain circumstances

, a single person is more important than social laws.

What do officials do? They are people who grasp social laws, control social laws, utilize social laws, and make judgments. The ability of officials to govern depends on whether they can do this and do this well.

The public security in Luoyang City must comply with this law.

Therefore, when Wang Xiaolie sees gamblers fighting in the street, he cannot go to improve public order, or even ban gambling, crack down on pornography, etc. Simply put, since gambling is an activity that many people like, there is no need to completely ban it. Instead, it must be well controlled and not

Let gambling activities affect your normal life.

Regarding public security in Luoyang, what Wang Xiaolie needs to know more is what lives there, what kind of social environment it creates, and what difficulties the people living there face. Start by solving people's difficulties and fundamentally solve the public security problem.

Just when Wang Xiaolie was thinking about how to solve the security problem in Luoyang, in a pavilion in the backyard of Tan's Restaurant near the Garden Department, Cao Tongzhang leaned on a wooden couch and watched the singing girls dancing in front of him.

It was a bit cold today, and the singers wore very little clothes, so they were shivering from the cold while dancing. The pipa player next to her had red fingers, and her cheeks were flushed with the cold. She had to force herself to stay calm, and the pipa played lively and melodiously.

After the dance, Cao Tongdan waved his hand: "You go down. The dance is not very good, and it is a waste of my money."

Several singers said yes. They lined up in a row and bowed, and then resigned. Cao Tongzhang said to Meng Xun on the side: "They say that the prosperity of Luoyang city is not inferior to that of the city. Now I look at it, it is nothing more than this. The dance is very good.

It’s not good, I’m just shaking there.”

Meng Xun smiled and shook his head: "You can't say that outside the staff. In Luoyang City, you can enjoy everything for one penny, and enjoy it very much for ten cents. The best singers are naturally in places like Linglong Pavilion and Deyue Tower. Tsk, tut.

, there are all kinds of singers there. Those who like to listen to music, some of them are the best singers. If you like dancing, there are the best dancers there. Even if you don’t like it, you just like to watch the girls posing.

There are also women with the best figures in the world. However, the prices there are quite expensive. It’s not like here, where just a few mediocre-looking people come here to make a living.”

Cao Tongzhang said: "Since there is such a good place, why doesn't my brother invite me to go?"

Meng Xun gave Cao Tongzhang a meaningful look and said, "Because what my brother is doing is not serious business, it is better not to go to places like that."

Cao Tongzhang said: "Why is it not a serious business? Gambling is also officially allowed."

Meng Xun said: "But gambling like my brother and using various methods are not allowed by the government. These days, you have seen all the officials and non-officials around you. What do you think?"

Cao Tongzhang said: "These shops around are all newly opened, and members of the public don't have much money. For such a small amount of money, I ruined my identity, but I don't think it's worth it. On the other hand, Cheng Yuanwai, who lives in Li's Inn and plays around every day,

Except for Mr. Sun, I wonder what their financial resources are?"

Meng Xun said: "I can't figure out the details of these two people. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."

Cao Tongzhang said: "Brother, spend the next few days to get to know their background. It is best to start with such foreign officials if they have a lot of money."

Meng Xun nodded: "Okay! Wait for my news!"

After hearing this, Cao Tongzhang said happily: "Drink tea, drink tea! Straight lady, why is it so popular in the capital to drink loose tea? It's a lot less fun than Dian."

Meng Xun said: "It's because the Xuanfu Division likes to drink it, so official entertainment is replaced by loose tea. The common people will naturally learn from it."

"Hey -" Cao Tongzhang shook his head repeatedly, but he drank the tea with relish.
