Chapter two hundred and nineteen: the mighty prince
It is reported that when the Japanese invaded China, the traitors of the puppet Manchukuo were treated as gods and gave everything they had to the Japanese to arrange. In order to please the Japanese, they could be said to do all the flattery.
Therefore, the Japanese were asking for these pseudo-Manchukuo traitors. The traitors were either silent, dared to speak out, or were extremely satisfied and gave up.
But only because of one thing, the traitors were united and directly overturned the table with the Japanese, showing some character.
The thing is like this: the Japanese set a standard for salary, and then the salary of the Japanese deputy chief was twice that of the traitors.
This is a terrible moment. You asked them to sell mines, sovereignty, and everything that can be sold. It's easy to say, but what does it mean to give me this salary? Why is my money less than the adjutant and the subordinate? I worked hard to be a traitor, and I was poked at the back of someone and had to smile every day. You actually deducted my salary?
The traitors of the puppet Manchukuo were surprisingly unanimous and showed an attitude of no cooperation. They were arrogant and arrogant in their dying and sacrificed their lives. They actually directly denounced the Japanese at the meeting.
Even the Japanese were unexpectedly aware that they could not curb the situation regardless of the use of soft and hard methods.
In the end, the Japanese had to make compromises and increase the salary of the traitors to the same standards as their deputy chiefs and adjutants, and then give some allowances to the Japanese deputy chiefs and adjutants. Only then did the traitors feel satisfied.
It can be seen that... when dealing with others, everything can be discussed, but there is one thing: you cannot deduct other people's salary. Otherwise, even a traitor with no bottom line will fight you.
Chen Zhengtai is well aware of this. If you have to be in charge of things, you have to pay for money. And you can't be stingy. There is no good thing in the world that you want horses to run and don't eat grass.
The officials circulated the charter one by one, focused on the level of salary and various possible benefits, and stopped saying a word.
Young Master is kind and righteous.
At least he kept everyone safe. After all, everyone has wives, children, and mothers to raise, and their closest relatives have to eat braised vegetables with them. What is the meaning of what they do with their official career?
Waiting for the circulating of the charter to the end, Chen Zhengtai asked: "Everyone has read it, but... everyone doesn't have to worry too much. After all, this is just a draft and may change at any time in the future. In short, everyone will perform their duties, find problems, and then find solutions, and finally correct them. Everyone, it will definitely be very hard in the future. In the future... I am afraid that all the officials will go to the university in batches for short-term training. If it is unnecessary, I won't say anything. In short, everyone is following the lead of the prince and getting things done. All personnel and affairs are afraid they need to be reorganized!"
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said, "This matter is not urgent, you have to take it slowly. What I want to talk about next is the issue of purchasing a mansion in Erpigou. The East Palace will need to move to Erpigou in the future, and then lay out the land for construction. For the convenience of everyone's office, naturally, it will also be necessary to allocate money and grain to buy some subsidies for everyone's house. In a word... Everyone works well and can't treat you badly."
Everyone suddenly became warm, especially the last words, how warm they were.
In fact, the East Palace has added a lot of institutions, which means that the official hat may increase. On the other hand, the East Palace can actually manage actual affairs. It is no longer like before, when people pretend to be governing the world, which also means that the East Palace may no longer be a game that everyone will play the simulation of governing the country behind closed doors in the future.
Especially the Basi under Youchunfang, there will be a future ahead.
And the young secretary almost thought of everyone’s difficulties. He was considerate and caring for everyone.
This is actually human nature. Human nature itself likes to label people. The so-called wise man suspicious of neighbors is actually the truth. No matter what his son does, he is right.
But if you are a neighbor, no matter how many good things you do, you will inevitably doubt everyone's intentions. Everyone has preconceived ideas and thinks that Chen Zhengtai is a considerate person. Even if Chen Zhengtai does something that goes against his own interests, he will think... Shao Jian must have other arrangements.
At this time, Chen Zhengtai said again: "After living some days and assigned official positions, everyone does not have to rush to formulate regulations and manage them. Instead, they will go to Erpigou for a walk, and then they will take their own posts after they are familiar with the situation."
"promise."
It seemed that everything was going smoothly, and everyone supported Chen Zhengtai, but they just assigned official positions, but there were some troubles.
After all, everyone knows the good and poor official positions. Some people can get fat and lack, while others will inevitably go to the Qingshui Yamen.
However, Chen Zhengtai came up with a solution. The grade of Qingshui Yamen should be appropriately improved, so that the older people can get a higher salary and better grade, so they will naturally be satisfied.
For some relatively fat officials, the grade is lower, and more young officials are promoted.
Ma Zhou was responsible for inspecting every official, so busy that he was not stuck in the ground, but he still had a lot of doubts in his heart.
When contacting Chen Zhengtai, I couldn't help but ask: "My benefactor... won't he raise these officials in the Eastern Palace to foster these people? In time, I'm afraid that these Erpigou will ruin people's hearts."
Ma Zhou’s concerns are actually normal. After all, human nature also has a bad side. If you use benefits, in the end they will only focus on interests. There is no benefit to not do practical things.
Chen Zhengtai also has his own measurement, but he did not hide it from Ma Zhou. He immediately said: "This is actually a problem of laying eggs on chickens and laying chickens on eggs."
Ma Zhou: “…”
Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "Some people think that people can only be rich by having morality first. But some people think that people can only be rich by making people have moral norms."
Ma Zhouyi looked surprised: "The granaries are full and the etiquette is straight, and the food is enough and the honor and disgrace are straight."
Chen Zhengtai said: "It is probably the case. I don't believe that morality is innate. In addition to promoting morality, the most important thing is... When everyone has food, clothing, and therefore has higher demands, then... naturally, new morality will be nurtured on this basis. People's moral standards are also different. For example, now that filial piety is advocated, why should filial piety be filial? Because everyone will grow old, and when they are old, they will have no place to rely on. Everyone is afraid that after they are old, they will suffer humiliation and abuse. So... what should I do? Then I have to advocate filial piety. But what if I have something to rely on in my old age? Then filial piety is no longer advocated. Filial piety comes from the hearts of my children and does not need to be forced."
Ma Zhou was thinking about it, and he felt more and more that his benefactor had many fallacies. He actually wanted to refute it, but he didn't dare to refute it, and he couldn't refute it for a while.
So he nodded, "The students have been taught. Oh, yes, this is the roster. You can take a look..."
Chen Zhengtai didn't read it, and threw the official list aside, saying calmly: "I don't have to read what you did. Just follow the regulations drafted by Youchunfang. From now on, all officials of different ministries will be sent to Erpigou first and let them stay for a month first. By the way, you have to write down what you see and hear, or have any insights. After writing it out, Youchunfang will look at it and take the opportunity to examine them."
Ma Zhou quickly said yes, and then asked: "What about after the inspection is completed?"
"After the inspection, we let everyone enact new laws."
"New Method..." Ma Zhou was startled, with a look of astonishment on his face, and he hurriedly said, "I'm afraid this is not safe,"
"This is what the prince means." Chen Zhengtai sighed: "I can't stop him."
Ma Zhouyi looked suspicious, is it true?
At this time, Chen Zhengtai said: "Oh, yes, the prince also needs to stay in Erpigou for a month, and be familiar with the situation in Erpigou and Jun County... But there is no need to make a special arrangement for this matter. I have made a bet with him and I will give him the usual money to stay in Erpigou for a month, and bet that he can support himself in Erpigou."
Ma Zhou was stunned for a moment and said with some concern: "This... would be too bold, if His Majesty knew."
"No one will know." Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "He will never reveal his identity. Of course... I will go with him, let alone the guy Xue Rengui is here, so he can definitely ensure safety."
Horse was speechless Monday.
He found that everything Chen Zhengtai did was very bold.
But at this time... Li Chengqian was sharpening his knife.
He felt that he was a very amazing person, and he had always had money... Isn't he easy to take for him after spending a month in Erpigou?
With the intelligence and talent of the lone, how can he not be successful?
So the next morning, not long after the sun rose, he excitedly found a costume dress and set off with Chen Zhengtai.
There were only three people in front and behind, and Chen Zhengtai and Xue Li were both dressed in plain clothes.
The gambling game is very simple, just Li Chengqian is not allowed to seek anyone, just rely on himself. As for Chen Zhengtai and Xue Li, they do nothing and just watch.
Li Chengqian looked proud. After all, since he was a child, everyone praised him for being extremely smart, just like he had a brilliant skeleton.
At this time, although she was wearing a cloth clothes, Li Chengqian was walking with great strength, like a general.
When he arrived at Erpigou, he touched the money in his sleeve, and first said proudly: "This money is like mosquito meat. You are hungry, haha... I will take you to have a good meal first."
Chen Zhengtai looked worried: "Your Highness the Crown Prince... only this money is only available, but it will take a month. Shouldn't we save a little?"
"It's not a matter of one word if you want to make money?" Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said confidently: "Stop talking, do you eat?"
