Jia Xu glanced at Lu Su and basically knew what was going on. He turned to look at the row of maids in his house and decided to forget it after thinking about it.
"Zichuan, if Youzhou is annexed next year, will your spiritual talent be able to hold on?" Jia Xu did not mince words and asked directly. Chen Xi's spiritual talent is of great significance to the smooth transition of the entire country.
"We are now in a state of neither loss nor gain. The people of Jizhou still recognize Yuan Benchu, but it won't take long for us to heal this level of recognition." Chen Xi shook his head, "Youzhou, you can rest assured. I won’t let go.”
"The official said that the weather will change next year, and there will be a severe drought after the great cold." Jia Xu straightened his chopsticks and said, "Cai Zhaoji also gave a similar judgment."
It is said that Cai Yan actually understands celestial phenomena and solar terms and calendars. In short, he seems to be proficient in all related extended skills of the classics and history. Well, except for his negative athletic ability, he can basically be used in the kitchen and in the hall, but it is of no use.
"Well, I know, but by next year, the people of Jizhou should be able to absorb the energy. You should know this." Chen Xi is not too worried. In fact, the Han Dynasty has actually entered a disaster year since last year. .
It was only because Chen Xi adjusted the celestial phenomena on a large scale and began to use his energy to change the changes in rain and sunshine that the weather on Liu Bei's side was maintained. Just like the heavy snow in the north disappeared on Liu Bei's side, it was because of Chen Xi.
"As long as you know what's going on." Jia Xu saw that Chen Xi was already prepared and stopped saying anything. Half of the value of Chen Xi's existence was his unparalleled political ability, and the other half was regulating the weather and rain in the four seasons.
These two aspects are very important. Compared with these two aspects, Chen Xi's military strategy can be put aside.
"By the way, Zijing, Doctor Hua, Doctor Zhang and Han Mou will come to Yecheng in the afternoon. How about picking them up with me." Chen Xi turned to Lu Su and said.
"My neck has been feeling uncomfortable lately, so I'll go pick someone up with you." Jia Xu touched his neck and said. "I forgot to mention it before, Zichuan, when checking, check separately. Sometimes it is inevitable to be a little embarrassed."
"Oh, that's fine." Chen Xi thought of Hua Tuo's blunt words to restrain him, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Lu Su's hand holding the wine bottle paused slightly, then he looked thoughtful, and then changed the topic with a smile. "It seems like I haven't seen much of Zijian and Zilong recently."
"Some township party members came to Zilong's hometown. He went to resettle these people. As for Zijian, he is training troops." Chen Xi replied with a smile. After so many years, this year everyone has stopped what they are doing and has a rest. one time.
"Zijian really has no time to spare. No wonder he is a good hand at leading cavalry and infantry." Lu Su smacked his tongue. It was New Year's Eve, but Hua Xiong still had time to train. I don't know what happened to the soldiers who followed Hua Xiong. Accepted.
"Haha." Jia Xu took a sip of wine. You try to distribute your bonus to your subordinates. Even if you ask for training during the Chinese New Year, they will not refuse. This guy Hua Xiong has no brains and has been following the method of living and eating together, and being rewarded for meritorious service.
In fact, after Chen Xi proposed the concept of year-end bonus, under Liu Bei's rule, everyone from high-ranking officials to generals, soldiers and subordinates would basically receive more bonuses at the end of the year. To have a good year, of course it may not all be money, it may be things like meat stamps and cloth stamps.
Well, Chen Xi also came up with the tickets. In fact, it is purely because it is too troublesome to issue it all at once. It is turned into a receipt and asked to go to a local store to collect it. After that, the bank will transfer the account to the store, so as to save money from corruption.
Chen Xi doesn't have any good methods for corruption. He can't imitate Zhu Yuanzhang's method of peeling off people's skin and stuffing them with grass. Let those who come to serve as officials first pay tribute to their predecessors.
Therefore, Man Chong could only ask Man Chong to strengthen the assessment of official administration, and then link the salaries of local counties and counties with the level of local governance. However, the amount of assessment increased a lot, and there were some situations that made Chen Xi helpless.
Chen Xi, who loves money, doesn't have any good methods. There are some guys who are really good at governing, but their level of greed is also not low. It feels a pity for Chen Xi to hug him, and it feels wrong not to hug him.
Officials who are not corrupt at all are either interested in other things, or their families are too rich. In the founding era of the People's Republic of China, the reason for the clear governance of officials was actually because most people were public-minded. At that time, these people's goals were not money and power.
As for Jia Xu, Li You and others are not seeking money and power, but an ideal, and the current title and power are actually just incidental.
Precisely because their goals are lofty, these incidental things are looked down upon by them, and precisely because of this they will not go out of their way to seek money and power, which are the ultimate extravagances for other people. For these people, these are It's just an embellishment of life.
Unlike people who want to share the cake, the first generation of people are all making cakes because they know very well that the bigger they make, the more they invest, the more they get in the end, and the closer they are to their ultimate ideal. , compared with this, the others are nothing at all.
It's just that Chen Xi can't make everyone have such a high level of consciousness. If everyone were like this, they would have entered the Datong society long ago.
Therefore, for a normal person, Chen Xi can only use the concept of law to restrain the other party. However, Man Chong admits that legal principles are not as good as human relationships, so for situations where Chen Xi cannot come up with suitable legal responses, Chen Xi usually uses human rule!
As for governing by people, it is very simple. When you are an official in which place, you will find the village elders, students, and children in that place. A total of nineteen people will be found. One wave of villagers, one wave of students, one wave of children, and all the achievements will be collected. Repeatedly, the same violations of law and discipline were also repeated.
These people recognize the merit and think it is just a minor fault, so they release the detained officials and continue to serve as local officials. They will not be promoted without great merit.
If you think that the merits and demerits are equal, then confiscate all the greed, offset what is not enough, and then reduce the position to serve the people.
If he thinks his achievements are not enough, hehehe, Chen Xi will not be polite at all.
Chen Xi, who had never been a big believer in the death penalty, signed the death penalty for officials who caused trouble in this situation. Once the evidence was correct, the death penalty was immediately executed. All members of the sect were taken into custody and the basic national welfare of everyone within the three tribes was cancelled.
As for why he was acquitted, it was entirely due to a situation Chen Xi encountered. Although the county magistrate was tricked by political opponents, during the investigation and evidence collection, the evidence was found to be corrupt, and he was naturally captured.
Chen Xi checked back and found out that it was a pity that Hu Zhi had won the Manchu Chong due to his political achievements, but it would be inappropriate to let him go. (To be continued.)
