"I know you don't believe it. That's because you are in a position where you don't believe it. But as long as you have the ability to bring so many people together, you will know how powerful they are."
"These common people are like drops of water, and those squires are like stones in the river."
"Although one or two stones will block the flow of the river, it will be very difficult if they want to block the river."
"If you are in a big river and want to use a big stone to block the water, it is a fool's errand."
"Once a drop of water gathers in one place, it will form a very powerful force, and any force that stands in the way will be crushed!"
Gongsun Long couldn't help but be entranced as he listened. Only then did he realize that Li Baiyi really wanted to be the kind of person who asked for orders for the people. He had great ambitions.
What he wants is to unite the people of the dedicated county and twist them into a rope. Only in this way can a powerful force be formed.
Gongsun Long nodded and said: "My Lord, I generally understand what you mean. I know that your Lord wants to unite many people, but in this way, can the dedication of the county really develop?"
Li Baiyi sneered and said, "What's wrong? Can't we develop a county well like this?"
"No matter what you want to do, it must be attributed to people. Only people are the fundamental essence of everything."
"If we leave this and talk about other things, it can only be said to be a joke."
Gongsun Long thought for a while, and suddenly he felt like he was enlightened. What the adults said was really good. No matter what happens, it starts from childhood.
Although the strength of these common people may be smaller, they can gather sand into a tower and gather armies into fur.
"My lord, it's true that tall buildings are rising from the ground. I only think about building tall buildings, but I forget the fact that they are rising from the ground."
"This official is not doing his job well, please punish me."
When Li Baiyi heard this, he smiled: "Punishment, why should I punish you? You didn't do anything wrong."
Gongsun Long smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, I am wrong. I think things are too simple and ignore the feelings of ordinary people. That is almost equivalent to losing the support of the people."
"No matter how well you do something, if you lose the support of the people, you have lost everything."
"What makes Xiaguan feel even more commendable is that although your Excellency saw what Xiaguan did wrong, he did not rush to correct me, but let me know where I went wrong."
"By following the adults, I can learn a lot of things, which will benefit me a lot."
"Your Excellency is really powerful. This method is not something that the county magistrates who came before the official position did not have. Even among the officials in the imperial court, how many people can do this?"
When Li Baiyi heard this, he waved his hands and said with a smile: "Don't praise me like a flower."
Gongsun Long shook his head and said: "Returning to your lord, I didn't deliberately praise you. I just feel that your actions really gave me a sense of enlightenment."
"Although I am a few years older than you, my knowledge is incomparable to yours. I'm really ashamed."
Li Baiyi had a smile on his face, but he began to criticize: "The more you talk, the more outrageous you are. I believe everything you said."
Gongsun Long said seriously: "Sir, everything you do is seen by all the subordinates. You are the best one."
"By the way, Sir, what should we do about recruiting people? Even if your strategy is excellent, these things always need people to implement them."
"These outsiders, relying on their family's influence, will not take us seriously. If they are allowed to act like this, our dedicated county will not be able to develop."
"These people also make it impossible for those knowledgeable people who want to do something to do something. No one dares to go against these people."
"If this continues, I'm afraid our dedication to the county will really be over."
Li Baiyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it won't be over. I already know about recruiting people. I won't fail to recruit people."
Gongsun Long breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Excellency, you know what's going on. That would be great, and the official's problem will be solved."
Li Baiyi snorted coldly and said: "These people are here for me. I can't tell it."
"If I don't give them some clues, they will really think that I have no skills and can't deal with them."
Gongsun Long nodded: "Your Majesty, yes, the motives of these people are indeed very problematic. They are not just here for money."
"Moreover, they seem to be organized. They were not as active as they are now, but now, people come out to cause trouble almost every day."
Li Baiyi snorted coldly and said: "Since they came here to cause trouble on purpose, of course I can't be polite to them."
"I just want to turn Diande County into a county where officials can demonstrate their governance capabilities."
"The development of the county town of Dianxi can also show that my capabilities are there."
"Therefore, I will never tolerate anyone affecting the development of Dianxian County. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without mercy."
After listening to Li Baiyi's words, Gongsun Long finally felt a little more confident. At least Li Baiyi wanted to vigorously develop and contribute to the county, and his burden could be lightened.
Of course, Li Baiyi wanted to clean up everything he had dedicated to the county. He came to dedicate the county just to lie down here. He came to take refuge, not to continue worrying here.
If you don't handle things here well, you don't know what will be waiting for you later.
After all, he is now the county magistrate dedicated to the county, and he has a heavy burden on his shoulders. He must solve those things before he can lie down with peace of mind.
Moreover, that old guy Huai'an Di was definitely staring at him.
Of course, Li Baiyi couldn't let Emperor Huai'an find fault.
"Tell me what the current situation is like. Just give me a rough outline. We'll talk about the specific case later. I want to understand the general situation first."
Li Baiyi sat down, picked up a cup of tea, and said expectantly.
Gongsun Long's face turned red and he said: "Sir, the cases in our county government are so backlogged that we can't even take care of them."
Li Baiyi couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What are you talking about? Are there so many cases? How many have been solved?"
Gongsun Long coughed lightly and said, "Sir, the number of cases solved will not exceed one percent."
Li Baiyi was immediately furious.
