Chapter 138 The Master of Civilization
The valley in front suddenly became widened, and a square city appeared in front of him. Han Qi knew that Dingxi City had arrived.
Han Qi stopped and sighed: "Since Yunxing arrived in Qinzhou, he has made many great achievements in more than a year. Nowadays, the civil and military officials in the court are unparalleled. Only after walking this way can you realize that there is no luck in the world. You have put in countless efforts to make these achievements. From military to civil governance, to shops in the city to rural roads, it is not easy to do everything yourself."
Xu Ping smiled and said, "We are all mortals, both hands and feet, and one head, and everything can be done by one person? Even Zhuge Wuhou can't do it, otherwise there will be no mistakes in Jieting. It is said that we must do everything, but in fact, we can only pass the things we governed at most, and it is impossible to even ask our subordinates to do anything. After this, we must connect all the things together, make clear the rules, and know where to start. Instead of showing off our cleverness, thinking that we can find the crux of the matter by just taking a glance, and instruct our subordinates to do this thing, and do that thing, and then we will be smooth sailing from now on. Doing this way has nothing to do with doing things, but we just love to show off. Everything is naturally organized. The first priority in doing things is to figure out this principle, and then we can truly know how to do it. In this world, there is only the greatest reason."
Han Qi nodded secretly, knowing that Xu Ping was saying this to him.
Although he was the same year as Xu Ping, Xu Ping got to this position step by step by step by step by step by step by step by practice, and he made great contributions in every term. Han Qi was different. He has been in the eyes of Zhao Zhen in recent years. He has been promoted from the Qingyun Avenue of Zhijianyuan, Zhisheyuan, Zhisheyuan, Zhizhizhizhi, and Zhizhizhizhizhi, and has become a commander in the journey in several years. His qualifications are not as good as Xu Ping. Xu Ping has been a local official for one year, and has been a local official in charge of Zuojiang Daoxidong, and has been in charge of sugar sugar. Han Qi has never served as a magistrate. Han Qi has today because he is good at being a person, doing things, and has unique vision. He also has the connections his father managed for him during his lifetime. Of course, the most important thing is Zhao Zhen's appreciation.
The same opportunity was once before Xu Ping, but Xu Ping chose another way, a way that makes people have nothing to say.
Han Qi was appointed as the general minister of Jingyuan Road, especially Xu Ping, who was not very different from his age but had a huge qualifications. He was under great pressure. Now the government and the country are full of distrust of Han Qi. He urgently needed achievements to prove himself and Zhao Zhen's vision was correct. This is what Xu Ping was most worried about. He was not strong in the foundation and was eager to make contributions, so he was easy to make big mistakes. He took Han Qi around Qinzhou to let him know that things were not urgent. To make contributions, he could not rely on being impatient and acting like a little.
Being smart is even worse. You must bend down and start step by step from practice and details. Only by having a general grasp of the military and civil affairs of Jingyuan Road can you know where to start and how to do it. Supervisors are very different from ordinary local magistrates. As a magistrate, you will not make big mistakes as long as you follow the existing predecessors. As long as you do a few things carefully, you will gain the reputation of the officials and the people. Supervisors are not so easy. If you don’t do things well and have poor abilities, you will be revealed in the battle.
Dingxi City is a complete military city. Although there are households, shops, and even merchants gather in the city, it is very lively, all of this serves the army. When Xu Ping was not in Dingxi City, the affairs here were managed by Wang Kai, the military supervisor of Qinzhou, and the civil affairs were also regulated by the General Administration according to the military law, which is very different from Qinzhou.
When he arrived outside the city, Wang Kai had already brought the generals from the city to welcome him out of the city gate, and he was polite to welcome Xu Ping back to the general's mansion.
Dingxi City is not big. Entering from the south gate, walking more than a mile along the central road, you will see the General's Mansion. A "Shi" flag under the people's flag is a screen wall. The character on it is Han Qi recognized it. It was written by Xu Ping: "The Master said: I am consistent with my own way, and I am just kind and forgive. I am loyal to things and forgive others. I do not avoid things and face difficulties. When my fellow comrades are in trouble, I will do my best to support me. I can be called the benevolence of the army."
Han Qi took a few glances and remembered them in his heart. He was a little confused about the content above. In the debate about Xu Ping's restructuring of the Qinzhou military system, although Han Qi was vague and did not express his opinions publicly, he actually opposed it. With his friendship in the same year, he supported Xu Ping and wrote a letter publicly. In Han Qi's understanding, the army should be strict with the class, attach importance to the military law, and lead the mountain to the mountain. As for these requirements in practice, it is impossible to achieve them. He cannot understand it. It shows that the class law is not strict enough and the military law is not cruel enough. For warriors, there is nothing more than rewarding money and the other to punish the word "punishment". Who in the world doesn't love money? Who in the world is not afraid of death? If these two points are achieved, why worry about not being punished in the army?
This is a common problem for scholars in this era. Military people in the Five Dynasties were in power and used literati as officials. Now that literati are the masters of their own affairs, things will turn around, deliberately avoiding officials and focusing on being officials. How to do an official? Use the great way to assist the king. As long as you identify the great way in your heart and advise the emperor to act according to the king's way, everything will be fine. As for the details of political affairs, it is just a small official to deal with. How can the noble ministers spend their energy on it?
Now is a turning point. The previous generation of ministers represented by Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian are also good at official affairs. In addition to Xu Ping, the next generation has begun to focus on Qing Tan Ci ministers. The group of officials led by Xu Ping who can do practical things are still at the bottom and have not entered the center of decision-making. Song Xiang and Han Qi are the mainstream.
It sounds very reasonable to be strict with the class, emphasize military laws, and reward and punish the army heavily, and theoretically it can be traced back to the Legalists. In fact, the long history has been shown by facts that this is very unreliable. Even when the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, his army was not so harsh. It is a compulsory course to be good at ease with soldiers.
There will inevitably be resistance. The heavier the oppression, the greater the resistance. People are not beasts, leading troops is not training beasts, and even training beasts cannot rely entirely on whips. This principle is simple and clear, but there are many people who do not believe in evil. When struggling at the bottom, they blame the heavens for not letting themselves be superior, especially because their parents and ancestors are incompetent and give themselves a good background. There are many such people for thousands of years. Once they are developed, they do not have to reach a high position, as long as they have a little bit of land.
If you are in a position, you will happily apply the means they once hated to others ten times a hundred times. It is best to reward yourself only, and the person below should feel good if you throw a bone. It is best to punish others, and you will be able to peel the cramps and skin the people under you. As long as you have a lot of hair. If you want to solve the world in the simplest way, God will give you the simplest result of destruction. Things in the world are so fair that you can't help but play with your little cleverness.
The more you fight on the battlefield, the more you kill people like grass, the more you should always keep a kind and forgiveness. If you think it is difficult to throw away this kind of kind and forgiveness and use the simplest way to solve the problem, then the world will have to destroy you.
This is Xu Ping's dialectical method. The doctrine of the mean in this era is to follow the two ends of everything and get it. This is not a mix of things, but a correct way to do things. What Xu Ping asked for is the commander of civilization with benevolence as the core.
