Chapter 2563: Small changes as the new year approaches
It's snowing heavily.
Northland, Yinshan.
The sky was dark, the wind and snow were whining, and the strong wind and heavy snow drowned everything around it.
No creature can match the power of nature's cold.
All people and livestock must stay warm and wait for the wind and snow to pass.
The howling wind and snow froze everything on the earth, turning all colors into white.
Heavy snow closed the mountains.
Fortunately, sufficient preparations were made beforehand.
Li Dian was in Yinshan City, looking at the rolling white fields far and near, and then he thought of something, and smiled slightly.
This year, Northland has generally developed quite well.
Although the Northland is far away from Guanzhong, what is available in Guanzhong is generally available in the Northland. In particular, the animal husbandry industry has been expanded. The natural grassland in the Hetao area still has great potential. Li Dian feels that it can be restored next year.
Open up a little, after all, Changan Sanfu's demand for meat is almost infinite, and as much as it can be digested.
However, the war horse breeding land still needs to be preserved.
As for other things, except for a moderate battle with the remnants of Xianbei, everything else was peaceful. By the way, there is something that Li Dian thinks needs to be included in the report to the Hussars...
Two days ago, Li Dian sent a New Year's gift to Yuvluo.
Similarly, gifts were also brought to several princes of Huvroud.
Humphrey is old.
When you get old, you will naturally die soon.
At this time, Li Dian would show more respect for Yu Fuluo. Not only did he give gifts in the New Year, but he also often gave gifts in one name or another on weekdays. Every time he went there, he would do so with great fanfare, wishing that all Nannan people would be surprised.
Everyone in the Huns knows it.
As a result, Humphrey couldn't express his sorrow. All the remarks he made before about being wary of the Han people were like lies after old age. Gradually, Humphrey had lost the authority to control his tribe.
, and now, after he grows old, even his son's influence is gradually losing.
Li Dian could imagine that when Yuvluo finally died, the Southern Huns would usher in their last war.
Civil War between the Southern Huns.
Yu Fuluo's eldest son has secretly expressed to Li Dian many times that he hopes Li Dian can lend a helping hand in critical moments. Li Dian agrees every time, but Li Dian knows that he will wait until the last moment, when both sides will suffer.
, will send troops, not even necessarily to save Yuvluo's eldest son, or just to save the eldest son's heirs.
After such a war, the Southern Huns will disappear.
Those southern Huns who are unwilling to integrate into China will disappear in this battle.
Perhaps next year, or the year after at most, we should be able to see this fruitful result.
It is said that the Qiang people in Longxi are gradually becoming more standardized.
This is good.
First beat them down, then teach those who are willing to obey, and then screen them again and again. In the end, those who are left must have become the shape of China.
How many years have passed since the Xiongnu who troubled the frontiers of the Han Dynasty finally lost all their descendants and became part of China. The teachings of Hussar were as calm as the heavy snow in front of them, but irresistible.
"It's a pity..." Li Dian sighed softly, and they all muttered to themselves, "It's a pity that I can't go to Qinglong Temple in person and sit there and listen to the words of the great sages... Next time, next time
I must not miss the Qingryuji Temple again... Well, I must train someone to replace me..."
This is the only thing Li Dian was dissatisfied with this year.
Thinking of this, Li Dian had no intention of continuing to watch the snow scene and returned to the house. He was going to add a few requests to his work report and ask General Hussar to send him two or three young deputies to facilitate more updates.
A good way to train the next generation of leading generals and to train cavalry lieutenants.
This way he can feel more relaxed and have the opportunity to participate in the next Qinglong Temple lecture.
The new year is coming, with new hopes and new goals.
……(*^__^*)……
There was also heavy snow in Chang'an.
Because the snow was so heavy, it seemed as if a two-way foil had been thrown into it. Chang'an Sanfu suddenly fell silent and turned into a solid picture.
Most of the shops on the street are only open for two or three hours. The only ones that can be open for a long time are restaurants and restaurants.
When the weather is freezing, alcoholic beverages become a popular commodity.
In many cases, thin wine is like a drink. The more you drink, the more you urinate, and the cold wind makes you shiver. Therefore, many people are willing to drink some high-alcohol wine that they don’t usually like at this time to ward off the cold and warm up.
It's just that high alcohol makes people drunk easily, so the inspections around Chang'an had to increase the number of inspections to avoid seeing those people freezing to death due to drunkenness on the streets.
Xing Yong came out of the wine shop and drank some wine. He was reluctant to drink in the past. After all, the price of wine was not something that a Beijing drifter like him could easily afford.
But the New Year was approaching, and he passed the Xing Yong exam, so after he learned the news, he decided to celebrate for himself. It was like a duckweed suddenly having roots, and no longer worrying about where it would float tomorrow.
.
When Xing Yong arrived at the door of his house, he suddenly hesitated for a moment at the door of his yard, then thought about it, turned around and went to his neighbor next door, knocked on the door of the neighbor's butcher's house, and then took one of the things in his hand.
A gourd of wine was given to the neighbor.
The neighbor was very surprised and refused to accept it at first. Then Xing Yong said that he often made noise in the yard and disturbed the neighbor. Then he said that the neighbor was tolerant and did not blame him, so he felt very sorry. He knew that his neighbor liked to drink. Today
I just made an extra gourd to make amends, which can be regarded as a New Year gift...
Xing Yong's neighbor, the butcher who usually looked fierce, was laughing loudly, his eyebrows were connected, and he kept saying that they were all neighbors and there was no need to disturb him, and then he said no to Xing Yong again.
Seeing Xing Yong's insistence, he took two pig ears from the house and gave them to Xing Yong to collect the gourd of wine. Both parties were very happy.
This kind of relationship between people is sometimes very interesting.
Sometimes a trivial matter can resolve the original conflict, but also some trivial matters can lead to endless quarrels between the two parties.
Xing Yong passed the exam.
So he was very happy and celebrated himself.
Then he thought of his neighbor by the way, and used a gourd of wine to resolve the small friction between the two people. He also got two extra pig ears to drink with.
If on the contrary, Xing Yong did not do well in the exam, he would naturally be in a bad mood, sigh, complain loudly in the yard, and then quarrel with the neighbor next door, which eventually caused the neighbor next door to become so angry that he picked up a bone-destroying knife...
The wind and snow seemed to never stop falling. In the white snow, Xing Yong warmed the wine, and then drank it with pig ears, and suddenly felt extremely calm in his heart.
Even if the cold wind is howling outside and the snow is falling, the house is still warm.
December slipped away leisurely in this atmosphere.
The six years of Taixing have finally passed away, and what will replace it will be a new year.
But Fei Qian, who was in the Qiusi Mansion, was frowning.
Fei Qian was also very tired these two days.
Even a hands-off shopkeeper like Fei Qian was beaten until he was bruised and swollen in front of various year-end affairs, and his energy was low.
Without him, the bigger the territory, the more things will happen, and this is when there are capable people in various places to govern. From this point, we can know how bad things would be for the Han Dynasty if there were no capable people from various places.
The bad.
The authority of officials is given by the country, not the monarchy. The monarchy is only a representative of the authority of the country. When there is no country, there is no so-called monarchy. This is like the salary received by employees working in a company.
It is given based on the person's labor, not a gift from a certain manager or general manager. It's just that many managers or general managers always actively or passively forget this fact, and then intimidate in order to strengthen their authority.
And deceive employees, packaging themselves as their bread and butter.
From this point of view, we can understand how ridiculous official corruption is. It is like a cancer cell, absorbing the nutrients of the subject and eventually killing the subject. Then the best result is just to become a bystander.
The country’s second- and third-class citizens.
It’s just that since there have been officials, there has definitely been corruption. Human beings have used various political systems, various models, various morals, and various ideas to try to solve this problem, but it is basically useless, even if it is solved in a short time
, will eventually be resurrected.
The specter of bureaucracy is immortal.
Feiqian also focused on this point when checking the year-end reports of various places.
Any authority without supervision will inevitably corrupt.
Because it is impossible for human desires to be eliminated on their own.
No matter what kind of artificial intelligence may be adopted in future generations, some people will still tamper with the instructions for their own benefit, or leave some backdoor for their own control.
Why are people afraid of acupuncture and fire? Even young children do not need to explain the reason or use any ideological standards, they just avoid it on their own.
Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages?
The reason why corruption cannot be controlled is because the punishment for corruption is too small. If you catch it, it will come out in three to five years. It does not even take three to five years. You will issue a notice to deal with it internally and continue to be an official in another place.
Is this system supervising and preventing official corruption, or is it promoting corruption?
Only when the consequences of corruption are that the harm to the person and his family far outweighs the benefits, can corrupt behavior be curbed.
Temporarily contained.
In the face of greed, human intelligence can always dig out various loopholes.
But Fei Qian wanted to keep this containment as long as possible, so that he could leave something to future generations, not just the regrets and emotions about the decline of generals during the Three Kingdoms period.
Therefore, before the New Year came, Fei Qian investigated several corrupt officials who took advantage of their power and violated the law wantonly. According to the law, these corrupt officials had their homes confiscated and advertised to the world that their families would not be allowed to enter the officialdom for three generations.
Since in ancient feudalism, one person attained enlightenment and chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, then naturally one person was corrupt and the whole family was punished.
Under such high-pressure governance, the number of corrupt officials has decreased significantly compared with the previous two years.
But as a side effect, the number of corruption lawsuits against "someone" began to increase.
Based on this situation, Fei Qian once again reiterated the crime of false accusation. There are rewards for reporting, but there are penalties for false accusations.
He also asked the Youwen Department to increase the intensity of the investigation, and Supervisor Zhiyin provided corresponding documentary records. The case was reviewed and adjudicated by Dali Temple, and then the final result was reviewed by the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat, and finally Fei Qian outlined it with a red pen.
When a huge organization starts to operate, even the gangsters can't hide. Of course, there may be accidental injuries, but the vast majority of them have solid evidence and correct audits. As for those who are found to be false accusations
Yes, the false accusers were also punished accordingly...
However, there are still a lot of reports.
This gave Fei Qian a headache.
The crime of falsely accusing someone is very serious, but what if the false accuser himself has nothing?
Then there are some officials who stare at the fat butts above their heads and secretly bribe desperadoes to poke their assholes and report them...
For these damned ghosts, they don’t think about the future of the country or the overall politics at all. If they win the lawsuit, they will make an instant profit, gain a lot of property, and be promoted or semi-promoted to a class. If they fail to sue, they will get money without risking their lives.
It's just death anyway, it doesn't matter if you die.
The reform of official administration cannot be stopped, but these troublemakers really make people speechless. If this problem is not solved, it will not only lead to a lot of ineffective work, but also affect the enthusiasm of normal officials. After all, doing things will definitely lead to
Who would feel comfortable if they offended someone, were reported to them, and then had to be investigated?
Faced with such a new problem, Pang Tong was at a loss what to do and was in a dilemma, so he asked Fei Qian for advice.
Hei Fat Bird is the director of the general's office and also serves as the minister. The issue of official governance is his destiny. If he doesn't do it well, it will be equivalent to ruining his chin. It is a very serious issue.
"Let's raise the threshold for whistleblowers..." Fei Qian sighed, "This is the only way to do it now...at least you need to be a property owner..."
"Property owner?" Pang Tong touched his chin, wondering if he was glad that his chin was saved, "What a wonderful idea, my lord!"
Property owners will naturally consider whether they will suffer losses if they own property. This will certainly prevent some unlucky ghosts from making random reports and reduce some unnecessary workload, but...
Fei Qian shook his head and said: "Actually, this is not a good idea... It's just because the number of our officials is too small, and we have to focus mainly on development. It is important to control corruption, but it is not
The most important thing... Hey, in addition, we still need to enlighten the people early, so that these ignorant guys will not become tools for others to use, or become accomplices..."
Pang Tong nodded seriously and accepted.
"Speaking of people's wisdom..." Fei Qian reached out and grabbed a few volumes from the side, then unfolded them and handed them to Pang Tong, "Qinglong Temple seems to have gone astray again these days..."
These guys at Qinglong Temple are like a carriage running on the avenue of ideas. From the horses to the reins, from the poles to the guardrails, from the wheels to the banners, they all have their own ideas and want to run in different directions.
, and Fei Qian, who was sitting in the car, not only had to watch the direction of the carriage, but also always keep an eye on the various parts of the carriage to prevent them from falling apart.
Pang Tong took the scroll, glanced up and down, frowned and said: "This... I'm afraid someone is causing trouble again... Look, this person who advocates the way of Taixi obviously doesn't know much about Taixi and other places... Action Rules
If you use the name of your lord to exert pressure, you may be someone with hidden evil intentions..."
"Yeah," Fei Qian nodded, then stretched out his hand to tap on the scroll, "These guys are just as hateful as those damned false accusers! What a serious and correct explanation of a topic that draws on the past and present, has been mixed up into
Whether China is more powerful or Europe and the West is more powerful, it’s simply a matter of one’s heart!”
Fei Qian introduced the related concepts of Taixi not for the purpose of discussing who is more powerful.
China has the culture of China, and the West has the brilliance of the West, just like human beings use tools. Which tool is better depends on which one you use. Let the current students and Confucian scholars know that outside of China, there are enemies and others.
It is right for a civilized society to put away internal strife and act in unison with the outside world.
result……
Fei Qian couldn't help but think of Mr. Sun in later generations, who used the public's psychology to sensationalize and deceived an entire generation, or even two generations, with one person's power, making the children of these two generations incompetent from the beginning.
, being called weak, irresponsible, etc., cast a psychological shadow, and then this person can actually become famous and carefree, which is simply a joke in the world.
Later, someone pointed out that the examples mentioned by Mr. Sun were wrong, and then Mr. Sun argued that he should not just look at the examples, but also at the feelings, and then talk about the feelings. Then Mr. Sun said not to talk about the feelings, but also about the theory.
, when we talk about theory, we go back to examples...
What is the difference between this and Ling Jing?
In the name of the country or the public, pretend that you are well-intentioned. Even if you are found to have made obvious mistakes, you still pretend to be a good person who has done something wrong, and find an excuse for yourself to get away with it. And then give yourself face.
Putting money on others, cheating and cheating, if you can deceive one person, you will be counted as one, if you can deceive two people, they will be counted as two people?
"I think, this matter should be brought to your attention..." Fei Qian said slowly, "These guys want to use the dispute between China, Asia and the West to gain fame, so we need to clean them out... like those greedy people.
Like corrupt officials, only by completely destroying their reputation can we serve as a warning to others!"
Pang Tong put his hands on his hands and laughed, "Exactly, exactly! If you attack Zhengping, you will definitely kill everyone! Hahaha! Why don't I go and ask him to prepare now?"
"Hey, let's wait until the New Year is over..." Fei Qian waved his hand, "I want to trouble you Zhengping, and I'm not in a hurry. Why don't we have people celebrate the New Year... Why don't we invite a few people to eat Qiang boiled food first?"
Pang Tong's eyes lit up, "Okay! In this weather, it's best to eat Qiang cooking!"
In the old year, there are always some old things attached like dust, which will inevitably be swept away and abandoned in the new year, and then new hopes and new changes will be welcomed...
