After hearing Wang Zhong's words, Wang Xiaolie couldn't help but smile bitterly. Of course I have frowned, and my personality has changed a lot. It is no longer the same as before. But in the eyes of this old man, he was still the young man he was back then, and he was so heroic.
Yang Shen said: "Dad is right. Commander Jieh has far-reaching vision, how can we and others reach it?"
Wang Zhong nodded and said seriously: "I watched Xiao Sheren grow up, and you are not the same!"
Wang Xiaolie said: "I invite you to come tonight for a casual meal and some gossip. Don't talk about these important national affairs. Let's talk about how everyone's life is and whether there are any difficulties. Official business is of course conducted by the public. But it’s a private matter, if there’s anything I can do to help, just ask.”
Yang Shen said: "My salary is generous now, and there is nothing major at home. Everything is fine."
Yu Huan also said hurriedly: "Me too. The salary paid by Jieshuai may be the most conscientious in the world. As long as you work hard, what difficulties can you face?"
Seeing Wang Xiaolie looking at him, Wang Zhong said hurriedly: "The lady has a kind heart, so naturally she won't treat me badly!"
Wang Xiaolie said: "If so, that would be the best. I am a person who misses old friendships. When I am free, I will never forget the years when you were by my side and fought with me. People in this world are different, and everyone has their own characteristics. Things that I am suitable to do. I can't break the rules of official business because of your old relationship. For example, as soon as I returned to Ruzhou, I asked Yang Tiju to sell his restaurant. If he didn't sell, he would have no choice but to leave the army. Why? Because he is doing official business and is in charge of these things. For court officials, there is a law called avoidance. When you are a local official, you cannot have your own property, nor the property of relatives and friends. When you are a court official, you are involved in the affairs of relatives and friends. It must be avoided. I think the avoidance law is the best law in the world. With this law, officials do not have to be in trouble between the law and their personal relationships because of their relatives and friends. People will not be attacked and persecuted because of their relatives and friends. "
Yang Shen said: "Jie Shuai is right. To be honest, when I was asked to sell the restaurant, I really couldn't bear to do it."
Wang Xiaolie said: "Which one can give up? The ancestral restaurant and the food and clothing of the whole family are just sold. I don't know what will happen in the future. At that time, I thought you would definitely be reluctant to part with the restaurant and leave the army. I didn't expect you. I really sold the restaurant and followed me to Xiangyang. Thinking of the past is really touching."
Yang Shen said: "We followed Wang Tong to condemn the rebels and saved the country. We risked our lives. How can we be reluctant to part with a restaurant!"
Wang Xiaolie said: "That's how people are. For the sake of the country's justice, you can risk your life. But how many people are so cruel as to abandon their ancestral property? At that time, you followed me sincerely. If conditions permit, I will try my best to repay you. Now that I am in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative, although I am a little tired, my income is not bad."
Yang Shen smiled and said: "It's more than a thousand dollars a year, and the salary can't be said to be good. How many people in the world can make so much money in a year?"
Wang Xiaolie was a little emotional. Said: "Being a leader is not that easy. The simplest thing is, how to distribute money? We are officials and generals, and we can generally follow the rules of the court. But in many places, there are actually no rules. We have to establish our own rules. Some people He is reluctant to part with money, and giving it to his subordinates is like cutting off his own flesh, and he is not willing to part with a penny. But he does not know that if he cannot make money, how will his subordinates support their families? How can they live a better life? If they do not give it to them, , they have to find a solution themselves. How to find a solution? It’s not either from the common people, or from the public money, or both. When it comes to the final reckoning, even if they are not at a loss, the public money It must be a loss. It would be better to collect the money that should be collected and give out more money. Otherwise, those who are corrupt and cheating will eat spicy food, and those who violate the rules will only have carrots and cabbage. Some people are particularly generous, Except for the salary, all the rest of the money is given to the subordinates. Do you think that if the subordinates make more money, they will give up their lives? It is so easy! If you can give one thousand Guan, your opponent can give two thousand Guan, which is more than the money anyway. chant!"
Wang Zhongdao: "Things in the world are extremely difficult, and only Xiaoshe people, with God's help, can figure out a solution to everything!"
Wang Xiaolie smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that I can come up with something that others can't think of, but that I can restrain myself, try to do what I should do, and try not to do what I want to do but shouldn't do. .Restraining oneself is the moral character an official should have."
Yang Shen and Yu Huan looked at each other and nodded silently. The two of them knew in their hearts that Wang Xiaolie was not just inviting them to dinner tonight.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Everything has a degree. As long as you always think about where the degree is, you can often do the right things and rarely do the wrong things. Why is there a degree? Because we understand the world, and all the concepts that are considered correct are It is only correct for one moment and one place, but not universally applicable. It will never be easy. When things change, you must always revise your own ideas. When to revise? How to revise? This is the way!"
Yu Huan said: "We are rough people, how can we understand such a great truth?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "Whether you understand it or not, as long as you remember that everything has its limits and remember to restrain yourself, it will be enough."
Yu Huan and Yang Shen handed over their hands together: "I will definitely keep it in mind!"
Wang Xiaolie said: "After arriving in Luoyang, the supply and marketing cooperative will have more things and more power. Of course, the salary will also be more. I plan to let Yang Shenti elect the supply and marketing cooperative to do more things, and Earn more salary. Because he has too much power, I am also afraid that Yang Shen will lose himself. Unknowingly, he wants to occupy more and get more. As time goes by, he does things he shouldn't do. That Sometimes, it makes things difficult for me.”
After hearing this, Yang Shen hurriedly stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Don't worry, Commander Jie, I will definitely abide by the rules and not embarrass you!"
Wang Xiaolie asked Yang Shen to sit down. He said: "As long as you can abide by your duties, what do I have to worry about? In the past few years, you have been in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative, and everything has been fine. Even if the scale expands several times, I believe you can still do a good job."
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank a drink with the three of them.
He said to Yu Huan: "Yu Huan raised the camp and field affairs, and things were handled in an orderly manner. I thought that after occupying Luoyang, you would still raise the camp and field affairs. Unlike when you were in Xiangyang, the camp and field affairs should be expanded in the future. Scale. This scale is far beyond anything that can be compared before, and it will be very important.”
Yu Huan handed over his hand: "Everything will be arranged by Jie Shuai!"
Wang Xiaolie said: "There are several basic requirements for camp affairs. You must remember them clearly. First, it is not about how much money you make a year or how much grain you harvest. The most important thing is to ensure the livelihood of farmers. In the camp In field affairs, people should generally reach the living standard of a self-cultivated farmer with 30 acres of cultivated land, 20 acres of other land, one cow, and enough farm tools. It is roughly the same, and it cannot be too far apart. Outside of field affairs, if the main Households are exploiting customers too much, and the field affairs office must be able to absorb these customers. In short, the field affairs office is a regulator of agriculture, so that the life of the people who farm the fields will not be too bad."
Yu Huan couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this. I have been working in camp field affairs for many days, and this is the first time I heard about this function.
Wang Xiaolie continued: "After ensuring this, the rest is the achievement. The first point is to be able to organize manpower to reclaim wasteland. The golden thieves invaded from the south, and there are so many idle fields in the world! Wait until the population increases before reclaiming it. , in what year and month will it be? The field management must be in accordance with the government's arrangements, and more wasteland should be reclaimed. "
Yu Huan handed over his hand: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will do my best!"
Wang Xiaolie nodded. Then he said: "Also, the camp must produce more grain and produce various grains as required. Your grain must enter the national treasury to regulate the world's grain prices. If you have enough grain, the people's jobs will be stable enough. And One point is to set an example for the people around the world on how to farm. You must cooperate with other yamen to select and breed improved seeds, improve farm tools, and increase production."
Yu Huan said: "I will obey Commander Jie's instructions in everything, I won't let you down!"
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "If you make me feel at ease, I am really relieved. Don't make it difficult for me. I am not a stingy person and will not let those who follow me suffer. But, I emphasize it again. , your money is your salary, never touch the public money! If anyone dares to break this rule, don’t blame me for not cherishing old friendship! Your salary will definitely not be less! If you are greedy, who can save you? What about you?"
After hearing this, Yang Shen and Yu Huan agreed together and did not dare to neglect at all. They could see that Wang Xiaolie didn't just talk casually. If you really commit a crime, you will probably be severely punished and there will be no mercy.
Have them both sit down. Wang Xiaolie said: "You have been with me for a long time, so you should know my temper. I know that I have a bad temper, so I have always controlled myself, tried not to get angry, and acted calmly. When it comes to friendship, I should give what I deserve I will give, of course there is friendship where there is due friendship. However, whoever commits the things I have emphasized repeatedly will not give me face! Whoever does not give me face, of course I will not have the face to give it to him!"
Yu Huan and Yang Shen hurriedly said: "I understand, I understand!"
This is what Wang Xiaolie has repeatedly emphasized. According to Wang Xiaolie, of course there is friendship and face. If you don’t listen, there will be nothing left to say.
