After leaving the agricultural machinery farm, everyone began to pay attention to the surrounding countryside. Only then did we realize that the entire Luo River Valley had been transformed into rural areas under the jurisdiction of the Yingtian Division. Not willing to participate. was moved to other areas.
In Wang Xiaolie's plan, Luoshui Valley is a place where heavy industry and military industry are concentrated, as well as military academies. It will be much easier to maintain security and confidentiality under the supervision of the Yingtian Secretary. During the Tang Dynasty, Liangjingyi Road passed through this place, which was very prosperous and had many counties. But now, there are not many people left, and relocation does not cost much. There are new villages built by the Yingtian Division, but they cost more.
As I approached Luoyang City, I saw many families growing taro near Luoshui River. During this season, many people are weeding in the fields. After noticing, everyone discovered that now people no longer use hoes for weeding, but use cattle to pull cultivating shovels, which is much more convenient.
Unable to bear it anymore, everyone got off their horses and went to the field to watch.
After watching for a while, Zheng Gangzhong said: "If agricultural machinery becomes popular, farming will never be the same again. It will not be difficult for one family to farm fifty, sixty, or even one hundred acres. At that time, the price of food will definitely be cheaper. What’s the difficulty in the prosperous age?”
The others listened, at one end.
When they first arrived in the Luo River Valley, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong. I feel like it was the same as the previous days, I just took a look. Even when I first visited the factory, I felt uncomfortable and looked down upon them. After visiting the entire industrial chain, the feeling will be completely different. Everyone understands how much impact it will have on society if the factories here produce at full capacity and the products are sold.
It was almost evening, and everyone returned to their residences. Not long after, someone from Henan Prefecture came and said that in three days everyone would prepare to enter the school set up in Anzhongfang to study. Special notice to everyone that they must wear official uniforms, look neat and behave appropriately on that day.
After sending the visitor away, Li Hui said to Zheng Gangzhong: "Brother Zheng, you mentioned such an important thing, will Xuan Fu come?"
Zheng Gangzhong said: "They should come. Dozens of officials are enrolled in the school. It is no small matter where they are placed."
Li Huidao said, "I thought we should come. It's been two months since we came to Luoyang, and we haven't seen Xuanfu a few times. Ordinarily, there is a serious shortage of officials in various places on Jingxi Road, so Xuanfu will not ignore us." "
Zheng Gangzhong said: "Who can say this kind of thing accurately? It's only three days anyway, just wait."
After becoming a Jinshi, if you want to become an official, there was a selection test in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, as long as you were a qualified Jinshi, you could become an official, and you still had several months of training. Wang Xiaolie is directly opening a school, which has never happened before. Fortunately, it didn't last long, only three months.
In the Henan government office, Chen Qiudao was holding a teacup and looking at the scenery outside the window. After a while, he turned back to Wang Xiaolie and said, "Xuanfu, in three days, it will be the day when the officials come to enter the school. These people have been hanging around Jingxi Road for a month or two. What do you think they will think?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "Don't guess what they think, but think about what we should do. Fifty or sixty people have everything they want. Some may see hope, while others may be disdainful. , feel that our method is not working. It doesn’t matter. As long as they are taught well and they do their jobs well.”
Chen Qiudao said: "If you think we can't do it well, why bother letting them into the school again? Just let them go back."
Wang Xiaolie laughed after hearing this and said: "Counsel, you can't think like this. People have all kinds of ideas when doing things, and there are all kinds of ways to do them well, which are all normal. When we select officials, we select those who are capable. Those who do things well, not just those who think the same as us. Our ideas are used well now, but when we encounter new things, it may not be the case. Those who think we are not good may be wrong now, but they may be wrong one day in the future. That's right."
Chen Qiudao couldn't help but frown after hearing this. Said: "If that's the case, how do you know if this person is good and that person is not? Only when we are like-minded can we get twice the result with half the effort. If we think differently, political affairs will be in chaos!"
Wang Xiaolie said: "There are standards for whether you do well or not. We select people according to the standards, not according to everyone's ideas. The so-called like-minded people, if your way is correct, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. If you have the way It’s wrong, it’s half the result with twice the result. Officials don’t just earn a salary to live, but if they do things well, there’s no problem just earning a salary to live. Because in addition to the salary
In addition, the meaning of officials is somewhat similar to that of gods. People who just think about earning a living have nothing to do with the rewards we give to officials other than salaries, so what else can be said? "
"What are the rewards besides salary?" Chen Qiudao was confused after hearing this.
Wang Xiaolie said: "The saint uses Shinto to teach. Apart from salary, it is naturally the content of Shinto's teaching."
Chen Qiudao nodded, understanding what Wang Xiaolie meant, but he didn't understand what he was talking about specifically.
"Yi" said that the divine way of observing the sky, but the four seasons are not abnormal, the sage teaches the divine way, and the world obeys. When future generations see the word Shinto, many people think of feudal superstition, ghosts and gods, and deception. Whether for or against, many words were immediately generated.
Shinto is Shinto, and "Yi" is not a book about ghosts and gods. The thought of ghosts and gods is what later generations thought of.
As an official, he has to govern the people, which has a part of God's content. If the God part is removed and officials are only regarded as a tool to seek wealth and salary, officials will become vulgar. Whether vulgarization is good or not is another question.
The establishment of Shinto teachings is naturally not a matter of generous salary, but another method. This method, together with official salaries, promotions and removals, can provide relatively complete management of officials. In later generations, there are also honorary titles and various models. If you change your name, many people will not recognize them.
How is it possible for all officials to meet ethical standards and be strict with themselves? Since it's impossible, don't worry about it. Of course it is okay to think that being an official is just to earn a salary and provide a happy life for the family. It's just that the path of Shinto teaching has nothing to do with you, so just don't complain.
We both work in the government and receive the same salary. Why are we divided into officials and staff? Because officials have requirements other than doing work, they need to be taught by Shinto. As for officials, they only need to do things well and have no responsibility in this regard. Once there is no Shinto teaching, officials become officials, and officials become officials.
Seeing that Chen Qiudao was confused, Wang Xiaoxian said: "Since ancient times, for those who have done good officials, their descendants will build temples for them and even commemorate them forever. When we established the country, we visited the descendants of the sages of the previous dynasty and offered incense to their ancestors. These are all It is a Shinto teaching, and there are various methods. But over the past three generations and thousands of years, how many people can make future generations willing to build temples to pay homage? It can be seen that most officials only get salary for their work. "
Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie suddenly remembered his previous life. It seems that in that era, no matter who was famous, whether it was a good reputation or a bad reputation, someone would build a memorial hall. There are even some people who are keen on turning over people with bad reputations. What does this mean? It's actually quite interesting.
After listening to Wang Xiaolie's explanation, Chen Qiudao roughly understood. It's just that in the past, the Shinto teachings that Wang Xiaolie said did not have any certain rules, and there were not many restrictions on officials. I wonder what method Wang Xiaolie will use to manage officials?
(I have something busy today, so I only have one update, sorry.)
