After the Ancient Literature School replaced the Modern Literature School, the pragmatic thought of "respecting ghosts and gods and keeping away from them" actually began to take root.
Under Liu Bei's vigorous promotion, the theocratic government of the Eastern Han Dynasty that Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Ming and Emperor Zhang had tried to establish had in fact collapsed, and a secular government was gradually taking shape.
The secular government, which has got rid of the influence of theocratic ideas, has made great leaps and bounds in the specific service level. The specific manifestation is "not talking about ghosts and gods, only asking about the common people".
Under the auspices of Liu Bei, the original rules of meeting once every five days and once every ten days during the Eastern Han Dynasty were completely broken. Although Liu Bei was not the emperor, he met with officials from various departments of the imperial court to handle affairs every day. The heads discussed and dealt with matters.
Liu Bei himself is a "diligence" person. No matter what happens, he will handle government affairs as soon as possible. He will even take the lead in working overtime to handle government affairs, give instructions as quickly as possible, and require officials to use the fastest speed. Execution is in place.
For Liu Bei's men in Liangzhou, this was not surprising.
When he was in Liangzhou, Liu Bei handled government affairs in such an efficient manner. He quickly reversed the collapse of Liangzhou, put Liangzhou on the right track, and successfully restored Liangzhou.
And now, this scene has appeared again in Luoyang, the center of the empire.
However, the men of the Luoyang court were not used to things that Liangzhou officials were used to. For the men of the Luoyang court, this was not something that made them happy.
Although the people of the ancient literature school are not as pampered as the men of the modern literature school, but relatively speaking, compared with the officials of Liu Bei's headquarters, they are not defeated at all.
Liu Bei is extremely efficient in doing things. It usually takes an official official half a day to deal with one thing leisurely, but Liu Bei only needs half a day to deal with the workload of more than half a month or even a month.
Therefore, officials who are not from Liu Bei's headquarters bear extremely huge pressure when doing things - Liu Bei himself is very efficient in doing things and has high requirements for his subordinates. He needs his subordinates to keep up with his pace. He cannot delay and must do it as quickly as possible. speed of service.
Things in Henan Yin must be done within one day, things in Sanhe area must be done within three days, and things in Sanfu area must be done within seven days. If you exceed the time, you will be punished.
Liu Bei didn't care so much. The guys in the Luoyang court had been idle and extravagant for so many years. Some of them even forgot what their duties were. If they didn't help them think about it, they really thought they were on vacation.
But where have the officials of the Luoyang court ever experienced such hell?
They are used to doing things slowly, used to blaming each other and not taking responsibility. They are used to leaving it to their subordinates to deal with difficulties when they encounter them. They think about taking advantage and making money all day long. Who is willing to take responsibility?
There are many things that they need to run around to various departments to ask for implementation.
For example, when Liu Bei asked them about the changes in vegetable and grain prices in Luoyang throughout January, they would rush to the streets to find relevant departments to obtain records. If there were any problems with the records, they would argue with the market management department. debate.
In order to determine whether these data are true, they also need to ask vendors and even passers-by to determine the real situation.
Then he went to every legal trading area in Luoyang Market and repeated what he had done before in these places.
In the past, it was possible for such a thing to take a month or two, or even just fill in the numbers to fool around with the end, but Liu Bei couldn't accept it.
He arranged for three waves of people who didn't know each other's existence to deal with the same thing. If the three waves of people came to different conclusions, they had to ask them what was going on and see how they did it.
Some officials who didn't know Liu Bei's way of doing things at first tried to take advantage of it. They thought it would be simpler and filled in a few numbers to fool Liu Bei. However, Liu Bei saw the problem and called the three waves of people together to ask them the results.
In the end, the three waves of people were dumbfounded and punished together, and they all lost their official hats.
In the first month, more than 20 people lost their official titles and were dismissed from their posts by Liu Bei. No one could plead for mercy. As a result, Liu Bei's reputation for ruling with an iron fist spread, and people behind him learned his lesson and knew that Liu Bei was not good. Foolishly, I can only run around doing things in a huffy voice, not daring to slack off.
The further you go, the more strict Liu Bei's time requirements are. If something that he thinks can be solved during the day is not solved on time, the person responsible will be scolded and punished. If Liu Bei is even more dissatisfied, he is likely to be kicked out. , thus losing his official title.
As for how to get it done, that's your business, not mine.
Want to be an official and gain power? Want to be arrogant?
Can.
But you also have to be capable!
Losing an official position is a consequence that bureaucrats cannot accept in any case. Compared with losing an official position, it is more cost-effective to run around.
Liu Bei gave an order, and many things required them to go to Luoyang Street to deal with them. Even more things required them to go to various counties and farms in Yin, Henan to deal with them. They needed to have extensive contact with the grassroots officials who handled local affairs. member.
It can't be done in just two days.
Liu Bei prepared a lot of horses for them, helped them with transportation, and also gave them some food subsidies, and then - I went on a business trip!
Want to sit in the office, drink tea and read the newspaper?
If it doesn't exist, just do it for me!
Faced with Liu Bei's ultra-high work efficiency and high demands, the officials who were accustomed to leisurely life were miserable and unable to resist. They could only force themselves to use their youthful explosive power to keep up with Liu Bei's pace and run around doing things. .
It was really dark when I started working. When I lowered my head, it was already morning. I had just eaten breakfast. When I raised my head, it was already afternoon and it was time to have lunch.
Some people were so busy that they had no time to have lunch, so they could only ride on horseback with dry food and eat a few mouthfuls while driving, giving up their appetites to avoid being held accountable by Liu Bei.
Under the leadership of Liu Bei, the decaying and old machine of Luoyang Imperial Court began to operate at super high speed. Of course, the sudden high speed operation after not running for a long time will cause some problems, and it is natural to feel some pain for a while.
Adhering to the principle that human resources should not be wasted, some traditional Qingshui Yamen, such as officials in the Sangong Mansion, some civil affairs management departments, and the like, those officials who had no future and no official duties were not spared. They were all Take it out to do errands.
If there is no specific person in charge, then you are responsible for running errands, sending news here, sending news there, uploading and delivering, it depends on you!
Get rid of the No. 11 bus and run for me. Don’t be slow to deliver the message. If you are slow, I want you to look good!
As long as they are receiving imperial salary, no one is allowed to stop. Run for me, get agitated for me, and do things for me!
Even those guys who were mainly responsible for talking, such as Yi Lang and Taizhong Doctor, who had always been noble and had nothing to do, were not spared. They were all pulled out by Liu Bei to help.
Taking into account their different knowledge levels, Liu Bei did not leave important matters to them, but gave them more complicated text transcription work. They became the imperial copying team, sitting in the room all day copying and copying. Copy the backup files.
There are more and more documents, their wrists are getting more and more sore, their eyes are getting straighter and straighter, their necks are getting more and more uncomfortable, and more and more hair is falling out.
But there is no way, there are still more and more documents that need to be transcribed, more and more, endless - the Luoyang court is not only dealing with new things, but also old cases in some old files are being taken out Re-examination.
Not a thing was left behind.
Just three months after Liu Bei came to power, the decadent, old and slow Luoyang court burst out with unprecedented vitality.
Under Liu Bei's spurs, the bureaucrats ran into action.
They have no time for intrigues, no time for reading and practicing calligraphy, no time for parties, drinking and partying. They can only do errands. They used to be able to take a break after working for ten days, but now they don't know when they can take a break.
Of course, Liu Bei was "kind" and changed the original rule that officials could not go home after work.
