Chapter 43

Guo Zi entered the Political Affairs Hall and bowed: "The lower-ranking official Guo Zi is about to appease Jingdong Road, please teach me."

The priests and officials do not divide the government affairs of the province, which refers to the daily affairs that are managed by the government office. These temporary policies and policies, such as Fangtian Jun Tax, the reform of the imperial guards, and the Municipal Yi Society, are still specialized. The person in charge of Fangtian Jun Tax on Jingdong Road was the political affairs officer Du Yan, who specifically arranged for Guo Zi what he should do when he went to Jingdong Road.

Du Yan lost his father when he was young, and his mother remarried. He lived with his brother. He grew up and could not bear the abuse of his brother, so he ran to his remarried mother. Unfortunately, his stepfather refused to take him in, so he had to wander around Henan Prefecture and Mengzhou. Xiangli, a local big family, saw that he could become a great man in the future and recruited him as a son-in-law. He passed the Jinshi in the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu.

Among the current prime ministers, Du Yan is the best choice in terms of qualifications, character and ability, and is the person Xu Ping valued the most. A few years later, Xu Ping will definitely be a foreigner. For ten years, the prime minister will have doubts, and Xu Ping himself will not be able to do so many years of hard work. Yan Shu and Zhang are like two people, and Xu Ping is worried about letting them take charge of the government affairs. At that time, Du Yan is probably the one who can take over. Chen Zhizhong and Cheng Lin are good at directors, but they are a little worse than the name "官网".

But Du Yan didn't know if it was because he suffered too much when he was a child or why, his beard and hair were all white at the age of forty. Now he is over 60 years old, and his eyebrows are even white as snow. Others are quiet and look like an old god. If he hadn't been in good spirits, Xu Ping would have doubted whether he was old too fast.

Du Yan arranged specific political affairs, and Yan Shu also instructed Guo Zi to go to the local area to check the abilities of local officials, as the basis for the court to use people in the future. Yan Shu had a unique vision in employed people and found many talents. It was said that Yan Shu was the prime minister of peace and often became confused in political affairs, and he himself did not take care of it. But when it comes to selecting and employing people, there were not many people who could compare with Yan Shu in this era. He was not a waste of time to be prime minister.

Finally, when he arrived in front of Xu Ping, Guo Zi bowed: "I'm going to Jingdong, please ask Mr. Zhaowen to command."

Xu Ping said: "At this time, you are asked to appease Jingdong Road, not for natural disasters, but for Fangtianjun tax. Remember, Fangtianjun tax is handled by the prefecture and county government offices and Jingdong Road Transportation Office. How they do and how they do it is not your business. Size comfort is not to appease officials, but to appease the people. Let the people know what the court wants to do and why they do it, and don't feel resentful."

Guo Zi said: "Reporting to my husband, the method of equalizing taxes in square fields is actually a thousand steps of square fields that my subordinates had been more than ten years ago. This time, I am afraid that local officials are not familiar with this method, so my subordinates will teach you how to do it. Why does my husband say that how the county is doing is not related to my business?"

"This method is well-versed in the practice of the Zhongshu, and is listed as a branch. It is under Jingdong Road Transport and Prefectures and County. If there are unknown points, they will ask you for advice. You can explain it according to the rules and not make your own decisions. The tax on the land above the local area will inevitably cause disputes among the people. When you arrive at Jingdong Road, you will focus on what the dispute between the people and the government will start, and help the people to restrain the prefectures and counties. Local officials are not properly doing things, and they will blame the Secretary of the People. You will go there to calm the people's grievances."

The envoy of the scale of the pacification was not an imperial envoy, but in fact there was no imperial envoy in the Song Dynasty. The imperial envoy mentioned in the previous life was that the emperor of the Ming and Qing dynasties regarded the world as his own private ownership, and officials were their own retainers, for fear that the retainers would be internal thieves. The so-called "I don't give it to you, you can't ask for it yourself, and you can't take it yourself, just treating officials as retainers and slaves. At this time, officials were officials of the regime, not the emperor's retainers, so there was no reason. It was useless for the emperor to send imperial envoys, and the Secretariat would not recognize it, and local officials would not pay attention to it. If you are not careful, you would be repaired by local officials. When Xu Ping was in Yongzhou, Zhao Zhen wanted to understand the situation and sent Shi Quanbin out, using the name of buying pearls in the South China Sea. Zhao Zhen really asked Shi Quanbin to be an imperial envoy. He could not go to Yongzhou, and the prefectures and counties on the road would not be allowed to pass by him at all. The Secretariat might take him back.

The same is true for Shangfang's sword, which was not before the Ming Dynasty. The Emperor's sword when Xu Ping was in charge of the northwest was used to temporarily implement military laws because of the urgent military situation. The supporting role was to hold the throne, not to use the emperor's authority to kill the general. The emperor did not have that authority. Zhao Zhen could not kill him just because he thought that the general was capable and could not do it, and he was not happy with the eyes and was willing to kill him. The only one who could kill the general was military laws. The emperor and the prime minister had to use military laws to harm others because of personal grudges.

During the reign of Emperor Shenzong, party struggles occurred, and both parties wanted to use imperial power to consolidate their own party's status, so imperial power rose. The oblique seal of ink and imperial edicts was rampant, and officials said in a divine and mysterious manner that they had internal orders, and others dared not compete. This was the collusion between party interests and imperial power to seize power, and it was achieved by Emperor Huizong of Song. Once the party struggles disappeared, the prime minister would quickly take back the power.

The pacifiers along the border correspond to the Khitan Pacifier Department and handle the affairs of the two countries. There are several permanent pacifiers in the mainland, which are set up to eliminate bandits in the country and have the power to use military force, so they are called the General Office. Xu Ping is starting to cut off the pacifier departments in the mainland. The army cannot fight internally, and all the thieves in the country are defeated by the Du Inspection Department.

The enrollment system is implemented, and the obligation of the people to join the army is to defend the country, not to protect the throne of which family. Once used to suppress the thief internally, it is easy to cause consciousness to cause chaos in the army and do not know what they are doing to join the army. On the other hand, the people will think that this army is not their own people, and will easily lose the people's hearts, and their combat power will decline rapidly, and the system and equipment cannot be replenished.

Whether it is officials or soldiers in the school, they all come from the people. Once the people are not treated as their own people, the world will be disinterested and moral, and no system or weapon can be remedied. Those who implement the system and use weapons will be ultimately human.

The appeasement envoy went to the local government not to supervise the implementation of the policy, but to check the people's hearts and calm the public's grievances. They had no right to point fingers at local officials, and local officials would not pay attention to them. They simply brought the power of supervision, and some officials would flatter. This is fundamentally different from the imperial envoy. The appeasement envoy did not have the legality of commanding local affairs.

Guo Zi is a practical official and is very persistent in doing things well. When he arrived at Jingdong Road, he saw that local officials could not do anything about Fangtian and how to calculate the area, so he would be afraid that he would be able to focus on helping the prefectures and counties. So Xu Ping specifically reminded him that if the local government is doing well, he would naturally send someone to help him, and he would not care about his size.

It is precisely because Guo Zi was familiar with Fang Tian’s algorithm that he was asked to go to Jingdong Road to help the people supervise local governments and not let officials do anything wrong. If you want to govern, you will inevitably have assessment indicators for subordinate officials, rewards and punishments. People are the same. Of course, you want to satisfy your superiors first. If you have made merits and promoted, whether the people are satisfied or not is secondary. Even officials who are passionate about the career will not care about the people’s feelings at all. The most important thing is to get the credit yourself.

Therefore, to implement such policies, we must send a large-scale appeasement envoy to continue, stand on the standpoint of the people, and supervise the grassroots officials who implement the policies. Ensure that policies that benefit the people should not be harmed by grassroots officials.

From the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the cruel fact that those who repress the people will prosper and those who bless the people will suffer, the people of the world no longer believe in the brilliant destiny established by the Han Dynasty. The legitimacy of the regime cannot come from heaven, so it has been changed into two. One is to investigate and control chaos, in the words of Xu Ping's previous life, it is to build economic construction and make the lives of the people better and better. The other is to win the hearts of the people, let the regime become the spiritual support of the people, and believe that the regime will always stand firmly on its own side.

As economic development, life gets better and better, it will not automatically bring people's support. The regime cannot blame the people for being unhappy. We must know that economic prosperity is created by the people, not someone is wise and powerful. In economic development, the people who have created prosperity get less and less share, and their dissatisfaction is natural. As wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people and less and less invested in social production, the world will gradually become a chaotic world.

The foster class relies on rent and interest. If the income obtained is higher than the profits of producers, where does these stable income come from without effort? Of course, it will come from the hands of producers. With the development of time, it will increasingly occupy most people's production materials, and even daily necessities, and society will stagnate. The pathological prosperity of finance is often accompanied by the sluggish social production, and the economic crisis will eventually eliminate the financial industry's ability to generate interest.

Xu Ping was a human being in his two lives. Apart from religious civilization, he had never seen any secular regime that could establish legitimacy without investigating chaos and unwilling to the hearts of the people. If the regime did not investigate chaos, society would investigate it by itself, and in the end, the governance of the world became less and less, and small chaos turned into big chaos.

Different civilizations will have different illusions of legitimacy. For example, the equality, democracy, freedom, legal system, etc. he picked out from fragments of ancient Greece and Roman civilization in his previous life was regarded as a criterion by some people, thinking that with these, the legitimacy of the regime would be indestructible. In fact, it was just a castle built on the beach, and the tide would disappear without a trace. As for the multi-party system, parliamentary system, presidential system and constitutional monarchy, they are at the next level, and are more legal and fragile. The republican system and federal system will basically not provide a source of legitimacy for the regime. These systems are just content picked up from fragments of civilization and combined with the actual situation of various countries, and are generated.

Treating means as natural truths will not eventually develop from the country into civilization. Either it will eventually develop into religion, or it will face continuous rise and fall, and be in constant turmoil.

Socialism once established its own source of legitimacy with democracy as its core, and capitalism established its source of legitimacy with freedom as its core. The final result was the collapse of the Soviet Union and the banner of democracy was naturally handed over to the hostile camp.

The core of China's civilization and legitimacy is that the world is for justice. Fairness, justice, justice, openness, publicity, credibility, etc. These words related to the public are the spiritual wealth left by civilization to future generations. But the most fundamental thing is that the legitimacy of the regime comes from the cycle of governance and chaos, and whether the regime can win the hearts of the people. The world is for justice, which is just a means to restrict governance and chaos and win the hearts of the people.

Xu Ping never tires about explaining to Guo Zi the importance of winning the hearts of the people, so that he must stand firm when he goes to the local area, and carefully supervise the implementation of the Fangtian equal tax policy from the perspective of the people. He also told him that whether it is an merger, a small farmer or a employed person, they are all people in the world. They should be shown to them from a system perspective and should not be biased.

The regime has no moral tendency, and will neither be biased towards power nor poor people. It is precisely because of no bias that one can show the world the public and establish the overall morality of the world. The regime is biased towards the poor today, and the benefit of the government thinks that the regime regards itself as its own person. What will he think if he becomes rich tomorrow? In the end, the world will be disloyal. Therefore, the regime only needs to ensure that it can change its social status through personal efforts, and do not be biased towards the poor or the rich in policy implementation.

The forces control most of the social resources and are in an advantageous position. In order to prevent small chaos from turning into big chaos, the cycle of governance and chaos is smoothly transitioning, and we must be biased towards the common people. This bias is in the formulation of the system, not in the implementation of the system.

Guo Zi was very stubborn. His thoughts were to be serious in doing things, to be a moral official, to be aware of the sufferings of the people, and to speak for the poor people in society. This is of course correct, and Xu Ping also had this idea. However, the regime is not a place for individuals to show their morality, nor is it a place for practice. Cultivating oneself, managing the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world is personal matter, and practicing is one's own practice. When wearing public uniforms, personal ideas should be put aside first and act according to political principles.

Xu Ping spoke dryly, and Guo Zi was sweating profusely when he heard it. After talking for more than half an hour, Xu Ping convinced him. When he arrived at the local area, he should supervise from the people's standpoint. He should not divide the power among the people and suffer the people. He should give him peace and justice. This is the official who was shown to the world by the court.

Guo Zi silently recited these words in his heart, forcibly put his ideas aside and did things according to political principles.

Xu Ping breathed a sigh of relief and looked around him. The other priests had already gone to work on their own.

After taking a sip of water, Xu Ping said to Guo Zi: "Can Cheng Yan be rich when you come to JD.com? Can you stay in Beijing for a day?"

Guo Zi bowed: "The calculation limit of the process can be kept in one day or two days. I wonder what my husband has to give?"

Xu Ping smiled and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow is the period for the little girl Panpan Najib. You have known me for more than ten years, and Panpan is also watching her grow up. If she has time on this big day, I hope she will come and have a look."

Tomorrow Panpan will officially get engaged to Su Song. The most critical step of the six rituals, Naji, Nacheng, and the invitation will be completed in one day. After receiving the betrothal gift and having the documents, Panpan is Su Song's wife, and only the time will be left to welcome her. In the words of Xu Ping's previous life, the two will be proof tomorrow, and legally married, and the date of wedding will be decided to be the wedding.

Guo Zi returned to Beijing in a hurry, and Xu Ping didn't have time to post a post to him, so he had to invite him at this time. From Zhongmutianzhuang, Xu Ping met Guo Zi, and was one of his oldest friends in the world. How could such a big thing be missing?

Before he knew it, Xu Ping was going to marry his daughter. From the ignorant boy to the day when he was a father and prime minister today, he has gone through a path of self-concealed life. In the future, he will also worry about his children and watch them grow up.
