Chapter 667 Revealing the Secret(2/2)
We in Henan are particularly prosperous.
But this situation is rare in Tokyo now, and the atmosphere is much more upright. The saints have personally written articles in the Beijing News, saying that calling officials and scholars is a big mistake and should be corrected."
Liu Xian Cheng did not expect that the moment he opened his mouth, General Chen would refute him so loudly that he quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"From now on, everyone will directly address each other according to their positions. You can call me Chen Zhongjun, you can also call me Chen Shoubei, or you can call me Chen Twelve, Liu Xian Cheng, I will directly call you Liu Xian Cheng, or Liu Zanfu, Liu Zuotang
, Liu Eryin, I won’t call you Mr. Liu anymore.”
"What General Chen taught you was a minor rudeness."
Chen Twelve drank the tea brewed in a black pottery bowl and found it tasted equally fragrant.
"There is another thing that deeply impressed me in Beijing this time, and that is this gift. In the past, it was normal for people to exchange favors, but now many officials use the red and white events to give official gifts under the banner of gift.
Official gifts are very sensitive, and if they cross the line, they can be regarded as bribes.
So giving gifts and bribes are just a matter of a thin line.
In the past, there were many bad rules in the officialdom, and all kinds of etiquette were very particular. The emperor has denounced these behaviors several times, such as charcoal and ice, Chengyi, year, festival, joy, makeup, and so on.
Men's respect, follow's respect, compensation's respect, Fei's respect, etc., there are countless others.
He even gave him three hundred taels of silver and called it a poem by Mao Zedong.
This kind of gift-giving has actually become a ritual, with a certain number, what is the official number, and what title. This kind of behavior is strictly prohibited by the Emperor of Pilgrimage, and these bad habits must be eradicated. Your Majesty will increase the salary and welfare of the officials.
We also provide subsidies such as money for raising money and money for food, just to stop everyone from engaging in such messy things.
Tokyo is doing very well now. This time I went to Beijing with Mr. Guo Xing, and I also brought some specialties from Henan, but the officials from various yamen and ministries in the capital confiscated them, and even gave them to the yamen instead of individuals.
They don't accept local products.
Because once you open this hole, you won't be able to close it.
In the end, most of the souvenirs we brought were sold, and only a few were left behind to give to friends, none of which were worth more than one silver dollar.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Everyone, Henan is lagging behind.
As in the past, everyone still calls officials "Sir" and "Sir" to scholars, gives gifts to officials when they see them, and dares not forget them all the time. They still stick to the old bad rules.
We are different now, we have to follow the court closely and keep up with the situation!"
"I am treating guests and setting up a banquet today. I am not taking the opportunity to invite guests and build relationships, nor am I taking the opportunity to make money. Therefore, please do not contribute any money today, let alone give gifts."
"The old one can no longer be used.
Mr. Zhao, the old master of our Red Spear Association, has now been promoted to the Henan Provincial Envoy. He returned to Chenxuru Road and changed it to Yudong Road. He has jurisdiction over Chenxuchuzheng Five Prefectures. The new sub-inspector is Zhejiang East Conglong Yuanxun. There are many rules, even
The prefect of Guide Prefecture will also be replaced soon, and he will also be sent by the imperial court, so everyone should get used to it as soon as possible."
"I also know that everyone takes good care of my family and is very grateful. We are all fellow villagers in Henan, so I would like to remind everyone that the bad rules and bad habits in the past should be changed quickly. Also, the new governor will announce the inspection
The first thing the prefecture will do after taking office is to check the fields. This is what they do in Shandong. So if you want to secure your seat or even go further, it is best to start now.
Be prepared, if you can successfully complete this errand, you will definitely be able to show your face in front of the new superior officer, and even advance your official career."
These words are a bit revealing, but they are not illegal. They are equivalent to giving pointers. Chen Twelve did this because these people are local officials. Giving them pointers is not only a personal favor, but also the emperor's way of teaching martial arts.
Give them the tasks assigned to them.
Chen Twelve told the county magistrate and others the practices in Shandong in detail, and they were shocked and dumbfounded.
"This is what I have said, and the road has been pointed out to everyone. It is up to you whether you are willing to do it or not.
