Chapter 648 Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh
As tens of thousands of San Jose residents spontaneously took to the streets to see the king leave temporarily, John, who boarded the airship, waved goodbye to the bottom again, in return for bursts of cheers from the crowd.
I left this Golden City by airship. The next time I came back, it should be half a year later.
In short, in the past three months, King Hygar believed that he was very qualified. At least from his performance just now, the residents of San Jose are very supportive of His Majesty, the king.
Officials in San Jose also agree with John because he set up the Environmental Protection Bureau as the king and other measures to make the entire San Jose clean and tidy, and there are obviously more foreign tourists during this period. On the one hand, it has promoted the development of the local economy.
On the one hand, it also gained international popularity for Hygar.
In addition, officials in the San Jose region and even the eastern port city of Pofi have gained some benefit.
John also understood that corruption is impossible to eliminate these days. It is a public secret for officials to make benefits, and it has become a common human nature. If you can make money and do things, you will be considered a good official. As a whole, the economic situation is
Well, the officials of all sizes and sizes who are in charge will naturally have more money and water.
It is no wonder that these officials of all sizes have a good impression of John, the airborne king.
Before he took control of the overall situation, John was not prepared to engage in anti-corruption and integrity activities. Even the Brook Empire, the world's largest power, officials from all over the country also used their positions to make money, blocking people's way of wealth was like killing people
Parents are also common in this world. If you really plan to eliminate this phenomenon, you will definitely be targeted by the bureaucrats collectively. Whether you can hold the throne firmly is a question.
John didn't think that he was already so strong that he could kill all people. There were so many corrupt officials in the world who could not kill them, and he could not guarantee that the newly promoted officials would not be greedy.
Then it is better to maintain the status quo, and then wait until you have the power and have the capital to carry out reforms, and then remove the resources from the bottom of the fire, weaken the power of the bureaucrats, strengthen supervision and the cost of corruption. This will naturally alleviate the phenomenon of corruption, and completely clear the sea and rivers.
It is impossible to leave a drop of mud and sand in Yan, but it is still possible to achieve relative integrity in the early days of every dynasty.
"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food!"
John understood that he was too impatient, and it was easy to do good things into bad things in an anxious mood. The reform in the late Qing Dynasty was because the young emperor Guangxu was too impatient and wanted to gain power too much, which eventually led to the failure of the reform and many people fell into the ground.
In John's view, sometimes Taoist theories are better at governing the country than Confucianism, and Confucius has worshipped Lao Tzu as his teacher!
Moreover, Taoist theory is particularly good at governing by inaction, which means subtly achieving the goal. Confucianism takes etiquette as its core and is sometimes too rigid and ignorant of flexibility. It has not seen that Confucianism governs the country in later dynasties mostly consists of Confucianism outside and law inside.
Did the Legalist theory be used?
Moreover, many theories of Confucianism and Taoism have been understood, which is why many literati and senior officials like to wear Taoist robes in non-office occasions.
Because of these, John had no action for the real nobles for the time being. As an existence that was both opposite and interdependent with John, although he knew that the identities of these nobles were justified in becoming the noble lords based on his canonization.
If they were anxious, these nobles who were originally local warlords would not mind abandoning their aristocratic status, expelling their king, and re-appointing Hygar to a republican country.
After all, except for the capital San Jose, the capital, most of the people in Haigar are under the control of these people.
Of course, John was not in a hurry. After two years Emsdan completely absorbed and digested the territory of Sands, it would not be too late to deal with them. As a person of two lives, he had an old king like William III who was behind his back. John felt that
I have the means to mercy on these powerful nobles who have just broken away from their warlord status.
However, the airship had just arrived at Port Pophy and the Red Dragon Maharaja had not set sail yet, John received news from the capital of Emsdan.
New Franmino state made a public statement, formally deciding to join the Kingdom of Amesdan.
This news made John Ray unclear. You should know that Emsdan had already rejected the proposal of surrender to the two western states outside Sands.
But now the unilateral announcement of the new Franmine is obviously a bit foolish!
“Is the message accurate?”
John asked Frank, the captain of the Red Dragon Maharaja.
Currently, Frank is still the temporary captain of the Red Dragon Maharaja. Of course, after John returns to Emsdan, he is expected to return to the naval sequence and prepare for the service of the new characteristic warship. John returned from the Caribbean world.
Afterwards, a magic ship transformed by the ghost ship was handed over to the Kingdom Navy.
The reason why John got this news when he arrived on the Red Dragon Maharaja was because there was a mistake in his previous trip to the Federation. He placed his magic messaging equipment with him in the Avalon Wonderland, and the isolation of space made him unable to do so.
The information from the kingdom was received as soon as possible. However, the Red Dragon Maharaja also has a fixed receiving device, so the ship learned first-hand information.
Frank replied seriously:
"Your Highness, it is the message sent by His Majesty the King himself after he could not contact you."
John took out his spell transmission equipment that was the same as a large phonograph. Sure enough, as soon as he left the outside space, the machine suddenly rang out a chirping signal sound.
Open the cover and look at the text displayed on the crystal panel, which is basically the same as what Frank said.
John inputs psychic energy into the machine and writes what he wants to ask on the crystal board. Soon the text disappears, and then the signal sounds are separated by a few minutes and then it immediately sounds again, and a line of text replies appear on it.
Seeing the above content, John thought, turned back and said to Frank:
"Set up, I will teleport back to the palace first, and you will sail and return at the established time."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Frank had no objection to John's orders. Not to mention that he has officially been loyal to the Crown Prince now. Even without loyalty, it would be difficult for him to interfere with the idea of this very independent and powerful crown prince.
After arranging the itinerary, after the Red Dragon Maharaja left the port, John waved his hand in his cabin to open a portal and crossed the space to return to the Hanting Palace Mage Tower in the capital of Emsdan hundreds of miles away.
This is a teleportation room specially arranged by John. It is surrounded by magic circles to protect the outside world. The interference from the outside world is eliminated as much as possible. Except for himself, other teleportation spells cannot take effect at all, and John also left his own.
The spatial coordinates of the breath are based on objects, which is a preparation to avoid future problems. If one day he is lost in the endless starry sky, he can use this as the coordinate and has a great chance to successfully return to the main world.
