The road was blocked by heavy snow, and I would not be able to walk for a while, so I had to stay in Jiangxian County. After thinking for a long time, Wang Xiaolie called the county magistrate over and said: "The heavy snow collapsed the sheds two days ago and many people died. Some of them,

It was the elders who were crushed to death and lost their livelihood. I thought about this for a long time, and decided that it should be put under the control of the government. The government would provide money and food to support them, so that these people could avoid the suffering of cold and death. These people who were raised by the government

, the government can plan the future for them and provide support for the government’s plans.”

The county magistrate hesitated for a moment and said: "If the government does not raise her well, it will be unkind. If she is raised too well, the people may deliberately throw her away as a baby."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes, this is a dilemma. So we can only raise it as good as possible, and don't exceed--that's wrong to say, actually it means not to exceed a certain percentage of the people. I think, in the early stage,

Thirty percent is good. In other words, the conditions of these children should not exceed 30% of the common people."

The county magistrate said: "Then there are still 30% of the people who want to abandon their babies——"

Wang Xiaolie waved his hand: "County magistrate, this is not what you think. Who among ordinary people would be willing to abandon their children? Even if they are poor, as long as they have a breath, they must keep their children by their side. And those who abandon their children,

I won’t raise it by myself just because the conditions around me are better. How can I guess it accurately here? You have to try it and change it bit by bit.”

The county magistrate cupped his hands and said, "That's what Xuan Fu said."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Let's start from Jiang County. From next month, the higher authorities will allocate funds for this matter. This month, please estimate the expenses. How much does it cost to raise one child? How much does it cost to raise ten children?

.”

The county magistrate said so.

Wang Xiaolie hesitated for a moment, then said: "Let me say it first. Just do things, don't be selfish, don't be greedy for money. If not, once you are found out, you will be severely punished. Don't think that you can't find it, you will definitely

It will be found out. I think you act honestly and don't harm yourself."

The county magistrate heard this and solemnly said yes.

Wang Xiaolie waved his hand and asked the county magistrate to go out.

Looking at the county magistrate's leaving figure, Wang Xiaolie sighed.

Over the years, officials from various places have been hastily appointed and their review has not been strict. This has resulted in all kinds of people. For example, the county magistrates of Jiangxian County are generally loyal to the country and serve the court wholeheartedly. However, there are also some county magistrates who are cunning and cunning.

Abnormally, there are endless illegal ways to eat and get cards on weekdays.

At this time, officials from various places took office in a hurry and generally did not develop local power. From the first half of this year, Wang Xiaolie organized a patrol team to investigate county by county. Any officials who were corrupt and violated the law would be given a light warning.

Severe dismissal. The first officials to be elected are Jinshi. If there are not enough Jinshi to elect people, and if there are not enough people to be promoted, ordinary scholars will be chosen. In some places, there are really no scholars, so they will be transferred from other places.

The environment of the officialdom is very important. On the one hand, officials' salaries must be sufficient, and on the other hand, the requirements must be high. The Three Ones must strictly implement the avoidance law. Those who are not avoided now are usually the recently occupied states and counties. Over time,

The officials will definitely need to be replaced.

Wang Xiaolie didn't hope that after many years, when new officials took office, the old officials would tell him that being an official meant flattering others and cheating superiors and subordinates. He hoped that the officialdom would be simpler. He would get as much salary as he wanted for whatever kind of official he was.

We do not want officials to be superiors within the scope of their powers and responsibilities, and can do whatever they want. We do not want capable people to sink into poverty, while mediocre and incompetent people occupy high positions. Once such an environment is formed, it will

It's hard to change.

Some people always say that you have to believe that human nature is like this, and officialdom is what it is. In fact, being an official itself is changing human nature. Why do you have so many requirements for believing in human nature? The most important thing is to see what the person in power is like.

People, the investigation is not strict.

This degree is not easy to control. If you are strict with yourself and become even stricter with your subordinates, you will be said to be inhumane. Even if you dare not say it to your face, you will definitely say it behind your back. Of course, you are not wrong. This is what it is.

There is no human nature. If you loosen your control over yourself and want to take more of everything, the people below will think why you can do it and I can't? Everyone thinks like this, and the discipline of the officialdom is in vain.

Saying that human nature is like this is actually an excuse, an excuse made for yourself. If you know you can't do it, just say it's normal.

There are always people who are very confident and think that they can balance and balance the interests of all parties. Or they are very arrogant and think that their subordinates are loyal enough to them and are loyal enough to let them do anything. This kind of self-confidence or arrogance is ridiculous in itself. I think that

The balanced interests of all parties are just tolerance by subordinates. What you think of as loyalty is mostly just helplessness against the environment. When the environment changes, loyalty may be worth a few cents, but it is doubtful that it is worth more.

For Wang Xiaolie, being a leader is too difficult. He is very cautious and walks on thin ice, and he really doesn’t dare to say anything to death. But then again, what if he indulges himself? There are many things that he doesn’t know how to do.

Change. But as long as you make this start, the backlash will come one day. Don't think about such deceptive nonsense as there is no backlash, it's just that the time has not come yet.

After resting for three days in Jiangxian County, the snow on the road finally melted away. Wang Xiao went to Jiangzhou and headed north along the road.

Jiangzhou is very interesting. In a general state, if there is a county with the same name as yourself, then the residence is likely to be in this county. Jiangzhou is different. There is Jiangxian below, but the residence is in Zhengping County. Zhengping is in the middle of the south-to-north direction.

The traffic on the highway is extremely busy.

Cao Zhiyan and Qianhaanbo led a group of officials to greet Wang Xiaolie outside the city early.

When he arrived at the government office, he sat down and everyone bowed politely.

Wang Xiaolie exchanged a few pleasantries and then asked everyone to leave. After a short rest, he returned to the official hall.

Wang Ruohai and Wang Yan had already arrived and saluted with the personnel of Cao Zhiyan's headquarters.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Everyone, please sit down and don't be formal. The reason why I called you to a meeting as soon as we arrived in Jinzhou is that this place is so important. And we are going to Shizhou in a few days, so we don't have much time. Today we mainly discuss

Let Cao Dutong take the lead in the situation facing Jinzhou."

Cao Zhiyan stood up and said: "I obey Xuan Fu's order. Jinzhou is the springboard into the Taiyuan Valley. It goes without saying that the importance of southern Shanxi is important. Here on Hedong Road, the prosperous places are all in the mountain basin. From north to south there are Xinzhou, Taiyuan

There are three major basins: Datong Prefecture in the north and Jiezhou Prefecture in the south. Of course, Datong Prefecture in the north and Jiezhou Prefecture in the south are also connected. Jinzhou is one of the three major basins, and the state has sufficient food and grass to supply the army. It is also connected to Taiyuan Prefecture in the north.

Springboard, knock on the gate of Taiyuan."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Everyone knows this knowledge. What I really want to hear is the arrangements of the Song and Jin Dynasties.

Cao Zhiyan said: "After our army arrived in Hedong, we separated the Ministry of Agriculture in Longde Prefecture, and I was in Jinzhou all the way. We formed a pincer attack from the left and right, threatening the Taiyuan Prefecture occupied by the Jin Army. The Jin Army has Wanyan Yinshu and can defend Taiyuan.

The government has never changed its personnel. Now the Taiyuan garrison is about 20,000 people, and the number of troops is less than our army."

Wang Ruohai asked: "Is there anyone available from the Jin Army in the direction of Hedong Road?"

Cao Zhiyan said: "It cannot be said that the Jin army has no use. As far as we know, most of the Khitan people who surrendered to the Jin army were on this road. However, Yelu Yu saw that although the Jin soldiers had many military exploits, they were led by old officers.

The Jin people don't trust him very much. Especially at this time, our army is heading north and the Hedong Road is in turbulent weather. Nianhan is even more worried about letting Yelu Yujian go south. If Yelu Yujian goes south, our troops will not have the advantage."

Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Ruohai: "What we have learned is roughly the same. If Nianhan cannot mobilize enough Jin troops on the west road to watch, they will not dare to let the Khitans go south. The Jin army on the west road will always

If there are more than 50,000 people, only Yelu Yujian can join the battle."

Wang Ruohai said: "But with our current strength, we are unable to go north. Yelu Yu is worried about going south to Nianhan, but there is no problem in defending Datong Prefecture."

Wang Xiaolie said: "That's right. With the surrender of the Khitan soldiers, we have no strength advantage. We have to make a long-term plan. By the way, do you know how many soldiers and horses Yelu Yujian has? The Khitan is a big clan and there will be no shortage of them.

"

Cao Zhiyan said: "Not all the Khitan soldiers and horses are commanded by Yelu Yujian. For example, generals such as Yunnei Jiedushi Yerunuge, Yanjing commander Xiao Gaoliu and other generals also commanded part of the Khitan soldiers and horses. We inquired in many ways, and Yelv Yujian

The army under direct command is about 50,000, with a maximum of 60,000 and no more."

"Fifty or sixty thousand people are not outrageous." Wang Xiaolie nodded. "When we were in Luoyang, we also collected information, and it was roughly the same number. The army that Yelu Yu saw, plus the Jin army that was monitoring

, the Jin army should have about 100,000 people. This number is indeed beyond our ability to deal with it."
