[The magistrate of Wu County came to Ye Wang and transferred the Ye King's garrison to capture Shan Guo and others, and ordered them to be punished according to the law. And quickly recruited government officials from the local area to establish government offices...]
[Self-established Yewang County should be an official government, clarify the actions of officials, and establish a new policy. He studied the classics at his residence every day, watched the government every day for seven days, and often exchanged letters with Cui County Magistrate of Yangcheng County, Tang County Magistrate of Fushui County, and Zhou County Magistrate of Yumo County. 】
Putting down the memorial table recording the official affairs of Yewang County, Ying Chengxuan picked up the memorial table from Yangcheng, Fuzhou, and Yumo counties.
The administration of the three counties is very similar to that of the wild king, and there are almost no references to it.
The county under the rule of the four people did not have too many restrictions. The officials did not compete with the people for profit, and the people were allowed to be self-sufficient and do their own thing.
After the four of them passed the initial busy stage, they implemented a hands-off policy, visiting the county under their control, and studying and drinking tea in the mansion.
As long as subordinates do not come to complain, as long as they do not find that officials are hiding from each other, the people dare not speak out. The four of them lived in seclusion, like dragons, with their sense of presence at an extremely low level.
"As expected of Shangshan Sihao who could change Han Emperor Gaozu's mind."
Ying Chengyu was full of praise, carefully studied the policies of the four people, and drew nutrients from them.
"Do you think your Majesty is interested in the words "governing by doing nothing"?
After returning from Yiyang, the scientist who wanted Ying Chengxuan to fulfill his promise was outspoken.
He was still dressed in black linen clothes, without any jade accessories, and his face was dark and dark.
"If you have the ability but don't do it, it's called rule by doing nothing, but in reality it's just like the king, it's just laziness."
Ying Chengyu didn't answer the scientists' questions. This kind of argument was unnecessary.
It doesn't matter whether it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat. There's no need to argue about right and wrong.
The vast majority of debates are debates for the sake of debate, arguments to get others to accept your point of view, rather than really exploring the true meaning.
"Maybe."
Ying Chengyu nodded.
When you want others to listen to you, you must first listen to others and express your agreement appropriately.
"You came to see me today because you want to govern the Korean land?"
When the scientist heard this, he couldn't hide his excitement and said:
"Your Majesty once promised that if I could govern Yiyang well, you would let me govern Han. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise. Please come to Yiyang and observe the rule of the Mo family!"
"Okay, if you really manage it well, I will give you this position."
Ying Chengyu agreed readily, so readily that the scientist felt a little unreal.
Mozi's lifelong wish was achieved so easily... The scientist was deeply suspicious. He was not surprised by anything his emperor did.
"Isn't it because your Majesty wanted to make a fool of yourself and then regretted it?"
"You just said that I like to govern by doing nothing. If you do well, it will be easier for Han Di to let you govern me. Let's go and see your Yiyang. I really want to know what it is like for the Mohist family to be in power."
Whether in the past life or in this life, the Mohist family has never truly been in power.
Ying Chengyu put on a bamboo hat to prevent his identity from being discovered by anyone.
Today's Han Dynasty is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and there are many people who know Ying Chengyu's face.
Another one was given to the scientist. Without this face, Ying Chengyu would not be able to conduct private interviews in private.
With some curiosity, Ying Chengyu and the scientist rode two fast horses and rushed to Yiyang quickly.
Ying Chengxuan didn't understand the current situation in Yiyang.
He is lazy.
He can trust scientists, so he won't find another county government official for him.
The scientists are so confident, it seems that they are very satisfied with the governance of Yiyang. The Mohist family can really govern... Ying Chengyu shook his horse whip, feeling that he should really take a closer look at the various schools of thought.
Just like Taoism, governing by doing nothing is to follow the way of nature and nature, not to ignore everything. The premise for Shangshan Sihao to do nothing and not take care of things is that they have formulated a good framework for the county and established policies for people's livelihood to rest and recuperate.
They let go only after they were sure that the county would develop in a good direction.
This is still very different from Ying Chengyu's impression of Taoist disciples who abandon their wisdom and live in seclusion.
Ying Chengyu was somewhat looking forward to what kind of surprises the Moh family would bring him after the Tao family.
Running all the way, speechless.
The moment he entered Yiyang County, Ying Chengyu felt something strange.
As far as I could see, most people were wearing linen clothes, which were as cheap as those worn by scientists. Moreover, their clothing styles are highly similar, all in black, with narrow-sleeved samurai uniform designs.
There is a smile on everyone's face and light in everyone's eyes.
Laughter is real, and so is light.
The people here are not only happy, but also not confused. They seem to have clear plans for the future and are full of expectations for the world.
How could this be done in such a feudal society... Ying Chengyu glanced sideways at the scientist, a little surprised - the scientist had done what he wanted to do but couldn't.
He thought that in this era, it was impossible to be armed with ideas successfully.
People were constantly coming in and out at the city gate, and the flow of people was almost as large as that of Xinzheng County.
Ying Chengyu was slightly surprised by this and observed carefully.
I found that most of the people leaving the city were more ornately dressed, carrying large and small packages, traveling in horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts, and were accompanied by servants, with a gloomy look on their faces.
Most of the people who entered the city were in tattered clothes, skinny and bones, and walked hobbled. Many of them have to rely on wooden sticks to support themselves, and they avoid looking directly at others.
Ying Chengyu asked the scientist to wait where he was, drove his horse forward, and stopped in front of a carriage with two white horses.
Get off your horse and get dressed.
I introduced myself because I heard that the Mohist tycoon issued a recruitment order on behalf of Chang'an Jun, so I came to Yiyang County from Handan where the Mohist tycoon worked, hoping to get an official position. I don't know why so many people are outsiders? What happened in Yiyang?
What Ying Chengyu is wearing today is the finest Shu brocade, a coat made by skilled craftsmen. It has a black base and a white tiger embroidered with white thread.
Even in the richest Qi land, these clothes are among the most expensive ones.
The discerning coachman judged from Ying Chengfan's conversation and the tall horse he was riding on that he was either rich or noble.
Therefore, even though Ying Chengwen wore a bamboo hat and did not show his true face, he did not say anything bad to anyone. Instead, he explained the situation to the people in the car in a low voice through the curtain.
Ying Chengyu waited patiently.
Seeing that the driver's mouth hadn't stopped yet, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside, and a fat face poked out. The pair of eyes that were pushed by the fat and looked unusually small turned around Ying Chengyu, and his expression became intimate. A few points.
"Just arrived in Yiyang?"
"Exactly."
Ying Chengyu nodded, took out a piece of gold from his arms and handed it to the driver.
The driver glanced at the bamboo hat in surprise and took it with both hands - even though he already knew that Ying Chengyuan was an extraordinary person, the moment he handed it over, it turned out to be gold. This was the first time the driver had seen such a wealthy person.
The fat man verified the authenticity of the gold, and the smile on his face became more sincere. Ying Chengyu said at the right time:
"I dare to ask brother, is the recruitment order issued by the Mohist giant on behalf of Chang'an Jun true and false?"
The fat man put the gold into his arms.
"It's true."
"Is Yiyang governed by a Mohist giant?"
"This is also true."
Ying Cheng's bamboo hat moved slightly, and there was obvious confusion in his voice.
"I heard that the Mohist tycoon is the best in the world. Since this place is governed by a Mohist tycoon, why did my brother leave? I came here from Handan just because of the reputation of the Mohist tycoon."
The fat man was silent for a moment and then said:
"For the poor, the tycoon is indeed, as you said, the best in the world. He works with the farmers every day, cultivating the fields and picking fruits from the trees. He lives in the same shabby house as the poor and eats the same food as the poor. Under Juzi's management, no one in Yiyang died of starvation.
"But for you and me, the good things of a rich man are of no use to us. My mansion is enough for a hundred poor people to live in, and the food I eat every day is worth more than a month's rations for the poor. I don't need help from a rich man to distribute it.
"Your Excellency is just a piece of gold. It shows that your wealth is far greater than mine. This county in Yiyang is not suitable for you and me to live. If you can trust me, you can go to Nanyang with me. With your ability, you will definitely get what you want. also."
The bamboo hat swayed from side to side.
"I came here because I am attracted by the reputation of the Mohist giant. I trust him as a person and I am only willing to work under him. Thank you very much for your kindness."
Ying Chengyu led the horse and made way for the carriage.
The driver lightly lifted the reins and drove the carriage slowly forward towards the outside of Yiyang City.
When the horse and carriage missed him, the fat man who had retreated into the carriage stuck his head out again and threw something towards Ying Chengyu.
Ying Chengyu caught it in his hand. He didn't need to look at it. He knew by the feel that it was the piece of gold he had just thrown out.
"My name is Chen Wang, and I'm waiting for you in Nanyang."
"If you go to Nanyang, you should pay a visit."
Ying Chengyu got on his horse.
"I will see you again."
Chen Wang smiled and retreated into the carriage.
We will meet again, so sure? Is he from the Yin Yang family or the Shi family... Ying Chengyu thought silently.
Ever since he met Guiguzi Zhaoyu and read the "Corpse" he left behind, Ying Chengyu felt a little nervous when he heard words like "inevitability" and "certainty".
Taking another look at the dozen or so carriages heading outside the city in the distance, Ying Chengyu rode his horse towards the inside of Yiyang City.
The scientist saw this and immediately followed.
We stopped a few more carriages along the way and spent four gold. From the owners of these carriages who were leaving Yiyang, we got answers similar to Chen Wang's.
Ying Chengyu was therefore sure that there must be a problem in Yiyang, but how did this problem occur? Ying Chengyu was very surprised.
Because these people who left Yiyang were not forced, but took the initiative, and these people who left generally had a good evaluation of scientists.
Why can’t a county that is satisfied with its rulers fail to retain people? Is it just that the benefits are not provided?
But just like Chen Wang said, his mansion is enough for a hundred poor people, and the daily food value is enough for one poor person to have enough food for a month.
Why would he, who is so wealthy, care about the shabby houses distributed by scientists to the poor and the food that can only satisfy their hunger? Ying Chengyu was puzzled.
Away from the city gate, all the people Ying Chengyu saw along the way, whether they were people climbing on roofs to repair houses or people selling chickens and ducks in front of them, all had smiles from the bottom of their hearts on their faces.
This smile touched Ying Chengyu, but it also made him even more confused.
This smile is a smile of faith, a smile that realizes its own value.
To be able to make people smile like this, what is wrong with this county?
Cult?
Such thoughts flashed through Ying Chengyu's mind, and he quickly shook his head.
At this point, he believed in scientists more than he believed in himself.
The Mohist tycoon cannot be a cult leader who wants people to kill people and set fires, shouts that those who believe in me are invulnerable, and wants to teach people to self-immolate in order to reach heaven.
After walking around half of Yiyang County, Ying Chengyu followed the scientist back to his residence.
When he saw the county magistrate's house for the first time, Ying Chengyu was a little in disbelief and questioned the scientists.
"Why is your county magistrate's office so shabby?"
Scientists are confident.
"As long as you can live there and can handle government affairs."
Ying Chengyu was speechless.
Where is the last word for the county magistrate's mansion in front of me? If the scientist hadn't led him here, he would have definitely thought that this single-door, extremely simple house was inhabited by some poor person.
A scientist's county magistrate's mansion is not as good as a house in Wushi's county magistrate's mansion.
"How can you convince the people if you live here and serve as director in a place like this?"
"I live in the same house as the people, why can't I convince the people?"
Ying Chengyu slapped his head, sighed, and said:
"It doesn't make sense. Let's go inside first. I think I understand what the problem is."
I don't think there is any problem. The situation in Yiyang is very good today...scientist said in his heart.
After entering the room, the scientist reported all the policies promulgated in Yiyang and what he had done, along with the paper recording the information, to Ying Cheng.
The initial situation in Yiyang was even more chaotic than that of Ye Wang, because it was the first county town that shouted "Princes, generals and ministers would rather have the seed".
Yewang has only one good thing, but Yiyang has seven.
These seven people divided Yiyang into seven parts, each occupying a piece of land, and they did not interfere with each other's wells and rivers. If it weren't for the small scale, it could almost be said to be independent.
The scientists arrived in Yiyang, and after understanding the situation, they immediately started shaking people down.
Wu Shi still needs to find the Yewang County Lieutenant. As a Mohist scientist, he doesn't even need to find the Yiyang County Lieutenant. There are too many disciples of the Mohist family who can fight and kill.
That is to say, one night passed, the martial arts disciples of the Mo family, who were once known as Chu Mo, immediately killed seven of them and hung their heads on the top of the city in public display.
The followers should be killed and buried according to the law.
Wu Shi later pardoned the criminals who were not subject to the death penalty, but the scientists did not do this.
He publicly tried these seven members who could not be called a political power but could only be called a group. Amid the cries of hatred from the people of Yiyang, he killed them all.
The Mohists value public opinion the most.
Next, according to the normal process, the government should be established and officials recruited.
The scientist bureaucracy was established, but when the scientists came, Bo Yingcheng could understand, but he was still shocked by the saucy operations of these officials.
As long as they are disciples of the Mo family, they are all officials, and there is no need to recruit officials specifically.
"Then this is not what the Mohist family said. Are the people not opposed to it?"
Ying Chengqiao blurted out.
Then the scientist looked at Ying Chengyu like he was an idiot and said:
"Most of the people in Yiyang have joined the Mo family and are all my disciples."
