After the official got tea, Xu Ping said to Li Shen: "I didn't expect that Mr. Li was so attentive to our books. I wonder if there was anything to warn us? He was an elder and important official. He had to have different opinions after decades of going in and out of the country."

Li Shendao: "My husband said that he was not very clear about the new policy of Jingxi Road. There is nothing to say about the specific policy. I believe Du Cao knows more than anyone else. I mentioned a few words about "Plan for Richness of the Country and Security of the People" and asked me to tell Du Cao."

"Oh, what did Xianggong Li say? I will listen naturally!"

"My husband means that the book talks about how to make money and how the government governs in detail, but other content is still lacking. If it is revised and finalized, it is best to put some effort into these aspects."

Xu Ping said: "I wonder what Xianggong Li is talking about, is there any explicit statement?"

"For example, the book titled "The Strategy for Rich the Country and the Strategy for the People", but now it is too important to focus on enriching the country and too light on the Strategy for the People. Although the country is rich, the people are safe, it is best to spend some writing on the country and the people are rich. According to my husband's meaning, the book actually talks about the content of the country and the people are rich, but it is not highlighted. Another point is that the book explains how to govern and generate wealth and accumulate wealth, but it is not mentioned about how to prevent fraud by handling officials and how to evaluate the political achievements of officials. In particular, the husband repeatedly instructed that the strategies of smuggling the country must prevent flaws, and evaluating political achievements according to the new law is the top priority. If we do not waste more pens and ink on this, we will inevitably produce countless troubles if we continue to implement it in the future."

Xu Ping started as a magistrate of Yongzhou and has been in politics for nearly ten years. When Li Di said that, he understood the meaning after a moment of thinking about it. The most important reason why this book attracted Li Di's attention was the unity of enriching the country and safeguarding the people.

According to the mainstream view of the past, the two are opposite and cannot be both. Since "The Strategy for Rich and the People's Welfare" unifies the two, we must work hard on this unification. While the country is rich, the people will also be rich clearly and highlighted, so that the mouths of those who think that the country is rich will harm the people. This is actually very important for occupying the commanding heights of public opinion.

As for the second point, it points out the shortcomings of the top-heavy policy of "Strategy for Rich and Security of the People" now. Simply put, it is to use too much force on the Tao and too light force on the technique. Even if the principles mentioned in the book are correct, how to implement them is not clearly explained. Preventing the disadvantages is second, and the key is how to evaluate them. New governance theory will inevitably lead to a new governance system, how to do well and how to do poorly, and the evaluation standards will inevitably be different from before. As a strategy for governing the country, this must be clearly explained, otherwise it will definitely bring chaos if implemented.

There is no chaos in Jingxi Road because Xu Ping himself is doing the evaluation. He is a transshipment officer and does not need others to set rules. If you implement other roads and do not set rules for evaluation, the Caosi and the Constitution will be at a loss, which will affect the implementation of the new policy.

Xu Ping was determined to establish a new theory, and did not consider much in specific governance. He had a general plan in his mind, but did not refine it. Subconsciously, Xu Ping was still thinking that he was doing these things, so he didn't need to explain it very clearly, but in Li Di's eyes, he obviously felt that it was not enough.

The policy measures and anti-corruption measures can be explored slowly, and the assessment system cannot be waited, so at least one principle must be established first. In this way, when implementing the new policy, the relevant people can know what to do and which direction to work, so as not to make a mess at the beginning. Li Di is rough and does not pay attention to details, but on the other hand, he is still very sensitive in the general direction.

Xu Ping thought about it and felt that Li Di was quite reasonable, so he said to Li Shen: "You wait a moment, let's talk."

After saying that, he ordered the public officials to call out the others in the room, listen and think about it together.

After a few people came out, Xu Ping asked Li Shen to say Li Di again. After listening to Wang Yaochen, "Mr. Li has been in and out for decades, and he must have thought more thoroughly than us. It makes sense for him to say this. Anyway, it is just the first draft now, so we will add these contents later."

Zhao Xu said: "In this way, Yunxing will take more effort. You know more about how to evaluate the exam than others. This year, everything will be smooth and smooth. The prefectures and counties will be convinced. Of course, you will be the transshipment officer to understand more than others."

Wang Yaochen nodded: "Yes, Yunxing still needs to make the decision on how to do the assessment. The general principles are out, and we will advise the staff from the side."

Xu Ping thought about it and said, "Okay, let's settle it like this. But how to drive the wealth of officials and the people should still need Boyong and Junjun to do more. After all, there is nothing more touching than you two."

Wang Gongchen said: "Most of the money I earned this year has flowed to Henan Prefecture, so Wang Tongming is naturally clearer than others. However, although my farming and farming business have also made a lot of money, it is the official side, so it is hard to say that the people are rich."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "You don't have to be humble. This matter is done by you and Boyong. The land stewardship is in the local area. When you have money, you will build roads and dams. Are these roads and water areas used? You always have to buy things from the local area. Will the people make money from your money? Are the people richer than other places when you have land stewardship?"

"It's richer than other places. Speaking of this, I'm more troubled. The land responsibilities are in the local area, and like the people, I have to pay taxes and grain. Some prefectures and counties even spread corvee labor to the land responsibilities. When something happens, many prefectures and county officials in many places don't say they can help us, and they treat us as suspicions. Is this reasonable? I give so much money and grain in the local area and I'm in the same dynasty, so I don't say that officials protect each other, so I always have to think about friendship, right?"

"This is a dilemma. If the local government cannot manage you, it will be difficult for the local government to manage such a big man. Under such a big man, it will be difficult for the prefectures and counties to manage things. If the trouble is not good, they will be suppressed by the land management. Let the local government manage it. Their management performance does not include the land management. Of course, they can cut off a piece of meat and cut off a piece of meat. Does everyone like to eat Tang Monk's meat? What Mr. Li said should have a general principle, and from this point of view, it does make sense."

This is the contradiction between overall interests and local interests. The three departments are directly under the national level. No matter how good they do, they are, Wang Gongchen's political achievements, and local officials do not benefit much. For their own future, the officials of prefectures and counties choose to compete for the interests of the local government to make up for the local area. The benefits fall on them. This is not a question of not considering the overall situation. The assessment system is like this, and who wants to do his best to do it?

According to "Strategy for Prospering the Country and Safeguarding the People", there will be many such giants like land management in the future. How to balance the interests of the local area is indeed a difficult point. Li Di saw this problem, so he reminded Xu Ping that what he said is now too heavy.

Policies are implemented by people. It is unreasonable to make what people who do not consider what policies will think and what choices they make.

Xu Ping's reform is generally to make a new cake and try not to damage everyone's existing interests. However, there will still be contradictions in how to distribute new interests if there are too many or too few. Even if you can't think of a complete solution for a while, Xu Ping still has to set a principle that can be widely accepted.
