A day later, a piece of red cloth hung on the pillar outside the county government office of Shuo County, and this piece of red cloth immediately attracted many people. Because there was no so-called ritual to unveil the plaque in this era, no one knew what this piece of red cloth meant. Someone came to see it, and Chen Fei, the magistrate, immediately came out in his official uniform. Everyone saw Chen Fei, the person wearing the county magistrate's uniform, came out, and ordinary people began to salute and say hello. After all, they were county magistrates, but local parents!

"Good county magistrate!" "You are the newly appointed county magistrate!"...

"Hello everyone, fellow villagers!" Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei first bowed to everyone and showed that he was still very friendly to the people.

"County magistrate, no matter how to use it!"

Those people dared not let Chen Fei bow, and they all bowed and returned the greetings.

"Dear villagers, do you know what is behind this red cloth?" Chen Fei asked.

"County magistrate, we don't know!" "County magistrate, what are you doing with this red cloth?" "Yes! County magistrate, what are you going to do? If there is anything, just give me a command and we can all listen to you!"

Chen Fei smiled without saying a word and took the initiative to pull the piece of cloth off. After the piece of cloth was taken down, four words were immediately revealed. Many people did not recognize what these words were, and immediately asked those literate people around them.

"Mr. Liu, what is written on this brand?" A man who looked like an old farmer and then asked a person next to him who looked pretty good.

"Public servants of the people!"

The words "Public servants" written on this plaque are the words "Public servants" and no one knows what this means. Everyone just knows that the people refer to ordinary people, but they don't know what the meaning of "Public servants" means.

"Everyone believes that the so-called public means public, and everyone means. And servants are servants, and servants serve the master. As the name suggests, the public servants of the people are those who provide services to the people. And this plaque means that our county yard in Shuo County is a person who serves the people. Everyone in our county yard in Shuo County must remember these words, and everyone serves the people." Chen Fei said.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one knew what Chen Fei meant. People's public servants all sounded fresh. Since the people had known each other, they had known that the government ruled the people. If the people wanted to obey the government's rule, they had to pay taxes to maintain the existence of the government. The officials in the government were all arrogant, and the officials were the "parents" of the people, and the people as children had to obey their parents and could not resist at all. But now Chen Fei has established a sign of people's public servants here, indicating that the government serves everyone, not the kind of master who is involved in it.

This turned the relationship between the two parties upside down. The government changed from a master to a servant, and the people turned into a master. This immediately made many people a little at a loss and their minds were blank. This has begun to subvert their ideas. They are already accustomed to being ruled by the government, but now there is an official who says that officials are servants and want to serve them. This is simply unimaginable. This has subverted their worldview and values, so they almost have some idea of ​​collapse in their beliefs.

"County Magistrate——"

Someone suddenly fell down, obviously afraid.

Chen Fei immediately stepped forward, took the initiative to support him, and said, "Get up, there is no need to be so polite. Please listen to me and explain it to you."

"Dear villagers, the salaries of our officials and the wages of ordinary scribes all come from the treasury, and the wealth in the treasury comes from the taxes of the people. Therefore, we rely on the taxes of the people to support and survive, so we naturally have to serve the people. All villagers are our parents of food and clothing. If there is no tax paid by the villagers, then we will not have our survival."

"As for the past, I thought it was very inappropriate. The people did not owe our government anything. The people did not owe our government debts or favors from our government. So why can our government act as a domineering person on the people and be king in front of the people? On the contrary, we rely on the taxes saved by the people to save money to support us, so we can live a life of big fish and meat. In fact, we just scrape the people's wealth and owe the people, so we owe the people a lot! So why don't we serve the people well, and why can we still raise our identity in front of our parents of food and clothing?"

"Our relationship with the people is not the relationship between parents and children. It is the relationship between fish and water. We are fish and the people are water. If the fish leave the water, then the fish cannot survive. That is to say, if our government has no people, then what is the meaning of existence in our government? So all the people are the basis for our existence. If there are no people, then there is no need for us to exist!" Chen Fei said.

"Okay!" "Okay! That's great!" "Yes! It's the first time I've lived for so many years that I've heard the government say this. It's great!"

"Yes, yes! Since ancient times, it has been said that love the people as their sons, but love the people as their sons, that is also regarded as their master and elders. But now, the county magistrate, you can actually put aside your identity and take the initiative to become this "public servant of the people". Just by the words of the county magistrate, you are a truly good official. I admire you, Ning Shuyu!" said a person who seemed to be a scholar.

"Sir, who are you?" Chen Fei asked.

The man who claimed to be Ning Shuyu immediately said, "Mr. Chen, I am an assistant teacher in the county school. Maybe the Magistrate Chen doesn't know me. But I have heard of Magistrate Chen. Magistrate Chen, you have rectified the style of the county government a few days ago, and those clerks have also started to do their best!"

Ning Shuyu is an assistant teacher in the county school, and the county school is the school in the county. However, the education level of this county school is actually very poor, and the school fees are also very expensive. In ancient times, there was a public school practice. Generally, there was a school in a county, and the teachers in the school were all hired by the government, and some people had the opportunity to be lucky to become officials. However, although this is a public school, the tuition fee is also very expensive and most people can't afford it.
