Did I make a big mistake?
What big mistake did I make?
I do not know how?
Chen Ying was very puzzled.
"Me? Big mistake?"
"Yes, big mistake."
Wang Kangshi looked serious and spoke slowly: "Why do you think there is a priority between national tax matters and the demands of the people? Why is this? You must remember that you are not just a county magistrate.
Do you still remember what you said when you joined the club? Why did we unite together to join the revival meeting? do you remember? If you remember, you won't compare these two things together and come up with priorities! "
Wang Kangshi's words stunned Chen Ying. For a moment, he couldn't say a word.
Like him, some participants did not expect Wang Kangshi to view the matter this way, but they soon came around to it.
"We all started from humble beginnings. We are all ordinary people. Under the rule of the Song and Jin Dynasties, have we not suffered enough? Have we not suffered enough from the old bureaucrats? In the old days, we did not suffer from the landlords and cruel officials of the Jin and Song Dynasties. treated unfairly?
He collected taxes many times, beat and scolded people at every turn, and even beat people to death! In the old days, when we faced those old bureaucrats, didn’t we still have less anger and hatred in our hearts? But why can't I remember everything in the past once I change my identity? "
Wang Kangshi reached out and patted the table: "The ultimate task of the Renaissance is to crush all the superior people and establish a country without oppression and exploitation. Now that this country is established, we must work hard to make it free from oppression and exploitation. Let the people of the world no longer have to suffer the same suffering as we did back then!”
Wang Kangshi's words were resounding, and the entire venue fell silent.
Wang Kangshi looked at Chen Ying again.
"As an official, you may come to a conclusion of priorities. Do big things first, then small things, handle state affairs first, then civil affairs, and finally handle everything. But you are not just the magistrate of Qushan County. .
Can Renaissance members ignore the people's demands and not do such a "trivial matter" because of temporary anger and laziness? Did you ever think of yourself as a revival member while you were dealing with this? "
Wang Kangshi kept questioning Chen Ying.
Chen Ying blushed, lowered her head, clutched the hem of clothes on her legs with both hands, and could not say a word.
"As an official, you just made a small mistake, and the Justice Bureau is naturally responsible for handling it. I have no right to deal with you, but as myself, what I see is your indifference to the people's demands deep in your heart. This is terrible. I It is recommended that a serious meeting be held later to seriously discuss Chen Ying’s issue.”
Wang Kangshi gave his own personal advice.
Although it is said to be a personal suggestion, it is just a suggestion, but as Wang Kangshi's identity, his personal opinions will certainly not be so light and fluffy.
Everyone knows that as a Renaissance member and a position-holding Renaissance member, Chen Ying is afraid that he will be punished by the Renaissance Association in some minor way.
Later, the Qushan County Judicial Bureau handled the matter at the official level for Liao Yuan.
The Qushan County Government was ordered to provide tax refunds within a time limit to these farmers who made appeals.
And from Qushan County Magistrate Chen Ying on down, all those involved in this incident will be punished.
Chen Ying was fined one month's salary and received one demerit. The county tax chief was fined one month's salary and received one demerit. The tax collector who was directly responsible for the matter was dismissed from his post.
On the other side, Wang Kangshi was preparing to hold a meeting of the Renaissance to discuss the incident.
The conclusions reached at the meeting will determine how to deal with this seemingly small but actually very serious incident.
This ends the meeting.
Xin Qiji, who hid his identity and watched the entire meeting, had a deep understanding of this.
In subsequent interviews with Wang Kangshi, he expressed his personal sentiments.
"I thought it was interesting that Director Wang invited me to attend the meeting before, but now I feel inexplicably heavy. As an official, he didn't make any big mistakes, but as a revival member, he made a mistake."
"Yes, he made a mistake. As a revival member, he made a big mistake."
Wang Kangshi, who was walking beside Xin Qiji, said in a low voice: "I actually don't want to see such a scene. I really don't want to see our Fuxing members weigh the state affairs and the people's demands together, and finally concluded that the state affairs are greater than the people's demands." conclusion.
Once he came to this conclusion, he made a big mistake as a member of the Fuxing Association. What he cared more about was not the ultimate mission of the Fuxing Association, but whether he could be promoted as an official. I know Chen Ying. He works quickly and efficiently. He is very conscientious and honest, and his colleagues speak highly of him.
But he also has something he is greedy for, and that is power. Even though he is just a county magistrate, he can also decide the life and death of the people in the county. With one order, how many people will work for him, this kind of power will affect a person in a subtle way. He doesn't love money, but he loves power. "
Xin Qiji walked forward slowly and nodded.
"It makes sense. Corrupt officials are not necessarily greedy for money. There are also corrupt officials who are greedy for power. The two seem very different, but in fact they are not very different. They are both greedy and will do many bad things for what they are greedy for. It’s okay to be an ordinary person, but he is a revival member.”
"Yes, the mission of the Renaissance members is not to make officials bigger and control a lot of power. The mission of the Renaissance members is to crush all the superior people, and at the same time, they must avoid becoming new superior people. "
Wang Kangshi said with emotion: "Before I became the director of the Haizhou Renaissance Association, I went to Zhongdu to meet His Majesty. His Majesty told me at that time that Renaissance members who serve as officials have dual identities. How to balance the identities brought by the dual identities? A sense of difference is a difficult thing.
Individual consciousness may be high or low. Under the influence of power, we cannot expect how many people will be able to persevere. Therefore, someone must remind them, admonish them, and alert them anytime and anywhere to stop them from the brink. "
"It really makes sense."
Xin Qiji said: "The characteristic of a superior person is not necessarily corruption, but the sincere belief that he is superior to others, that he and the common people are not the same kind of people, that he is a natural aristocrat, and that he should do whatever he wants by nature. Those who have been influenced by power for a long time are very likely to It’s hard to say whether he will become this type of person.”
"So one of my important responsibilities is to prevent situations like this from happening."
Wang Kangshi shook his head and said: "There are still many old bureaucrats and old gentry in the Ming Dynasty who are holding official positions and holding power, and we will eventually fight them and liquidate them, but before that, we cannot let ourselves become like them.
I think that everyone who serves as an official must remember that as an official, he also shoulders the mission of the Renaissance and everyone's expectations. He must be cautious in doing things and remember why he is doing what he is doing. If this is not the case, What is the difference between our new officials and those old bureaucrats? "
"yes."
Xin Qiji sighed and spoke slowly: "I have been in Zhongdu for a long time and have never been exposed to local government affairs. I thought everything was step-by-step and orderly. But now I know that there are such serious and tense things in a county. I really can't be negligent at all." have."
"Government affairs are indeed done step by step and are handled very properly. We are our own officials and handle things by ourselves. How can it not go smoothly? But problems often arise in unexpected places."
Wang Kangshi smiled bitterly and said: "When we were marching and fighting, I never thought that such a thing would happen. Now I still remember that I and my friends imagined how good the world would live after the elites were liquidated. At that time, I thought that everyone must We will work together so that China and China will no longer have to worry about famine, but now we know that this is difficult and dangerous, alas..."
"There are differences between then and now."
Xin Qiji shook his head: "I can only say that we should keep up the good work, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and never rest on our laurels and surrender just because of a few achievements. Director Wang, this matter is necessary for you and me, and for all Fuxing members." It’s something I’ll fight for my whole life.”
"indeed so."
Wang Kangshi strongly agreed with Xin Qiji's words.
ps: It’s the end of the month, if you still have unused monthly votes, remember to vote for me, thank you~~~
