Chapter 32 Face reality
Ge Tiangong left here in despair.
He Xi also felt a little sad, so she waved her hand and told him to go back to work. However, Yang Shiqi was stopped. Zhu Xiongying's heart moved and he stayed.
Although for He Xi, the class he originally wanted to teach Zhu Xiongying was no longer available. But for Zhu Xiongying, watching this incident was also an excellent education. He found it very interesting to figure out He Xi's handling and He Xi's thoughts.
He Xi saw that Zhu Xiongying had not left. Didn't say much. He Xi said: "Yang Yu, do you have anything to say?" He Xi said in a murderous tone: "Don't tell me, you don't know anything. Then you are not Yang Shiqi."
Yang Shiqi simply knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, I will admit my guilt."
He Xi said: "Convicted? That idiot Ge Tiangong has already taken the blame for you. Otherwise, you will have to learn a lesson today. Let's talk about knowing the crime and not knowing the crime. Let's talk about it first."
Yang Shiqi said: "I don't dare to deceive you, sir. I have heard about this matter, but I just don't dare to interfere easily?"
He Xi sneered and said, "Don't you dare? Is there anything else that Yang Shiqi doesn't dare to do?"
Yang Shiqi said: "Although Xiaguan is a bit brave, it is okay to kill the monarch of a small country in Nanyang. But no official in the imperial court dares to do anything easily. Xiaguan became famous in Nanyang and was supported by adults in Liaodong. But when Xiaguan came to Liaodong, At that time, Senior Brother Huang had already built some factories and mines, and Xiaguan joined later. Although he later took charge of the industries in Liaodong on behalf of Senior Brother Huang, his foundation was shallow after all. There were dozens of various industries in Liaodong, employing hundreds of thousands of people, and the situation was complicated. The lower officials have little knowledge and little power, and the limit of what they can maintain is already very high. Although I know that many people below are actually wrong, I dare not go to war. Otherwise, it will affect the production of various industries in Liaodong. It will affect the imperial court and the great plans of the people. Only by being able to taste it and stop it can we become what we are today. I am extremely ashamed of myself."
He Xi said: "If you are still talking nonsense, I guess you will be like Ge Tiangong."
He Xi was very disappointed with Yang Shiqi.
Yang Shiqi is a famous official in history. He Xi also attaches great importance to Yang Shiqi. Yang Shiqi was also very ambitious. When he was in Nanyang, he decisively killed the envoys, which showed Yang Shiqi's courage. Now Yang Shiqi is so prevaricated in his current position.
He Xi doesn't know how to deal with Yang Shiqi. Without him, as Ge Tiangong said, it cannot affect production. But now Ge Tiangong is thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors. Many officials in Ge Tiangong's circle may not be able to escape being stabbed. Under such circumstances, if Yang Shiqi is dealt with again. There will be big problems in industrial production in Liaodong.
But He Xi still suppressed Yang Shiqi's unrestrained behavior.
After all, Yang Shiqi is young. Although he is capable, his experience is somewhat shallow. Forced by He Xi, Yang Shiqi gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "I must tell the truth today."
He Xi's inference about Yang Shiqi was completely correct.
Yang Shiqi is such a smart person, but he may be deceived by his superiors due to a momentary oversight. This is understandable. After all, Yang Shiqi is in charge of so many things, and there are so many people under him. Yang Shiqi deals with so many people by himself, but his subordinates try their best to hide him alone.
But for such a long time, corruption on such a large scale has been almost an open secret. Yang Shiqi doesn't know yet, that's weird.
There is naturally a reason why Yang Shiqi turned a blind eye.
Afraid of offending He Xi's direct descendants and his own senior brothers, Yang Shiqi is a smart man. Smart people know the dangers of being sharp and stand out, and they also know how to keep up with the light in the officialdom. Of course, while Yang Shiqi tolerated these people, production in Liaodong was not affected at all.
As long as Yang Shiqi was not threatened, Yang Shiqi could turn a blind eye. If Yang Shiqi's interests were threatened, Yang Shiqi would have overturned the table.
Now under He Xi's coercion, Yang Shiqi could only tell the truth.
Although Yang Shiqi also knew that at this time, He Xi might capture him if he didn't fight. But Yang Shiqi also knows that settling accounts after the fall is the most common method used by those in power. How bad it is today may not be damaged for a while, but the real problem will be in the future.
Yang Shiqi said: "I dare not deceive you, sir. In fact, there is nothing I can do."
"Since Mr. Huang left, I have discovered that the people below have problems of one kind or another. If one or two people have problems, I would naturally dare to use thunderous means. I even actually took down several of them at first. But later I discovered that this It’s not a problem of one person, but a problem of a group of people.”
"The entire factory is actually a closed environment. Adults usually appoint one person as the factory director. He is responsible for everything. The power of the factory director is too great. No one can restrict him in the factory. Your Majesty is here When I was here, there were no problems. As soon as the adults left, I became arrogant."
"I can only limit it by checking the accounts."
"I also thought about other ways, such as setting up a deputy position. But I soon found out that it would not work. It is easier for a deputy position to work with the main position. I knew at that time that adding more manpower would just be a stack of buildings and would only increase the number of officials. Increasing costs will not bring any results."
"After much deliberation, the official decided that the only priority is to preserve production. On other matters, we can only make appropriate compromises."
"Xiaoguan has actually thought about doing a thorough inspection like an adult. But after doing it, within a few years, probably a year or two, the old behavior will return. After all, some factories are too profitable. And the official salary is meager. Even factory managers may not be serious officials, let alone have a bright future.”
"I can't control it, I can't help it. Other than maintaining it, I really don't know what to do?"
He Xi listened and was no longer angry. Just sad.
Because he knew Yang Shiqi was telling the truth.
But the truth hurts the most.
When He Xi was in Liaodong, he didn't think about too long-term things. More importantly, it was to establish the industrial production system, which was the top priority. Even now when I think about it, I don't feel like I did anything wrong.
At that time, he was in Liaodong and did everything himself. The people below did not dare to play tricks in front of him. Even if there was a problem, it was not a big problem.
I just didn't expect that in just over a year, the hero back then would become what he is now.
Are you talking about people's problems? Maybe, but these craftsmen went from poverty to wealth in just a few years. The changes were so drastic that they swelled to the point where they no longer knew who they were? But this kind of thing happens all over the world, all the time, all the time.
Not a big deal?
Is it a system problem?
Can you say yes? The management of state-owned enterprises has always been a big problem. If there is too little supervision, a situation will arise where the factory manager treats the workers as slaves. But if there are too many responsibilities, not to mention the increase in personnel, there will be a huge burden. Just saying it is useful?
What He Xi thought of was the health system.
It should be noted that the Ming Dynasty made great efforts to maintain the guard system.
Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the guards to conquer the world. He had detailed regulations on the rights, welfare, and obligations of the guards. In order to prevent officers from abusing soldiers, the army has independent judges and a relatively independent military legal system. Later, the supervision of civil officials and censors was added.
But how?
No matter how many people are added, management costs will be increased. The Ming Guard Army was not saved at all.
So what does the factory system look like today?
Don't think about anything else. Just think about the collapse of state-owned enterprises in later generations, and you can understand He Xi's worries.
In future generations of China, there will really be a group of capable managers who truly care about this country. But who are the people under He Xi's command? Their abilities, quality, and even moral standards are too far behind those of later generations.
So this result makes He Xi even more pessimistic.
He Xi secretly thought: "It seems that it's time to change."
But He Xi also knew that things had to be done one by one. This large-scale inspection has already caused turmoil in Liaodong. If it is carried out at this time, the impact will be even greater. Moreover, He Xi didn't have a complete plan in his heart. Just tendencies.
The new bill needs time to be refined and investigated.
Some people died, but not completely...
