The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"There are no two identical places in the world, and there will be no identical people. I know this. Even if the imperial court allocates money and grain to help them develop, it is a good thing if the local officials are honest and capable. With this trend, the local area will rise to prominence, and the people will be rich and live and work in peace.

But if the local officials do nothing, or in other words, this grant is exploited layer by layer after leaving Chang'an City, to put it bluntly, even if there is a huge amount of 500,000 strings of cash, it would be a blessing if there is only 50,000 strings of cash at the local level. .

If 5,000 of the 50,000 guan in the hands of local officials can be used to help local people build local characteristic industries, it would be God’s blessing. ”

“Look at it pessimistically, the money may be spent without any splash, and when the court wants to make a decision, they will start to find excuses and try every means to fool around.

Or, they may find some excuse to tell the court that they didn’t make any money and lost money.

Even if the court sends people to the local area to check, after a few meals of wine, the problem will become nothing. ”

Many things can be covered up by “three cups of self-punishment”.

"Only when everyone is united can things have good and positive results. Isn't this farm a living example?" Li Fu said with a smile, "The Jingyang Palace spent money on the farm without anyone else's help? Who dares to be greedy? The servants in my house, if they dare to be greedy, can take the money but leave their lives."

"Is Yan Lide, who has been responsible for building a new house for me since last year, greedy? He is not greedy, so I feel at ease using him, including Jiang Que and Jiang Shaojiang. They are all people who have come out of adversity together. I am completely at ease with their character. No matter how much money it costs, I dare to give it to them."

Lu Deming and Li Chengqian listened quietly.

Then, Lu Deming smiled and said, "When selecting officials and employing people, the court may not be able to understand everything like Huairen. After all, there are too many officials, unlike Zhuangzi, where there are not many people in charge."

"That's why I said that Zhuangzi is here to be a pioneer and try to open a new path. Whether this path can be taken, how to take it, and how to change it on the existing basis are all issues to be considered. Each monkey has its own way of tying it." Li Fu smiled and said, "It cannot be completely applied, otherwise it will definitely be counterproductive."

As he said, Li Fu looked at Li Chengqian.

"Chengqian, do you remember what I said to Dr. Lu?"

Li Chengqian nodded seriously.

"Uncle Wang, I remember it."

Not only do I remember it now, but I will record it after returning to Zhuangzi today, and slowly comprehend and study it after returning.

Uncle Wang's words always make sense.

"The court's policies are implemented upwards, but they may not be effective downwards." Li Fu said.

"Then how can we set an example for others?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Read more, ask your father more, and when the two are combined, you will have your own answer." Li Fu smiled mysteriously.

Now Li Fu can't tell Li Chengqian about the "last-place elimination system".

Basically, as long as an official has not made a major mistake and has not been exposed, his position is safe.

Even if he has made a mistake and has been demoted, the central government may reassign him to another place and still be an official.

Moreover, from ancient times to the present, the management mechanism of the central government has certain characteristics, and every generation of emperors will explore the management mechanism of the court.

From ancient times to the present, the central government of the court has implemented a policy adjustment mechanism of "grasping and releasing". The central government often adopts the method of tightening one part of the policy and relaxing another part of the policy in a field, a period, or a region; or the method of grasping and releasing, grasping and releasing the implementation of a certain policy, and the orderly management and adjustment mechanism of national policies.

Li Shimin himself said that he was not afraid of conquering the world, but governing the world was more difficult than conquering the world. Every move would affect the whole world.

How to capture, how to release, and how to adjust, that requires macro-control by the central government of the court. How can Li Fu's simple "last-place elimination system" explain it clearly? He thought it was too simple.

There are so many talents in the court, who is not smarter than Li Fu?

There are tens of millions of people in the whole Tang Dynasty, and there are only a few dozen people who stand out and are in the court.

Who is smarter than Li Fu in this regard?

As a person, you must know yourself.

When things are discussed at the critical moment, if you have an idea, say it out, and provide a suggestion, that's fine.

But letting Li Fu stand among them and show his "smartness" from a high position is called stupidity and ignorance.

So, Li Chengqian wanted to findTo get an answer, that is to read history books, read them thoroughly, follow his father, watch carefully, listen carefully, and learn carefully.

In practice, gradually adapt to the current court first, and then slowly make changes, which cannot be done overnight, especially since Li Chengqian is only the crown prince now, and he is still a child.

Lu Deming looked at Li Chengqian.

"Your Highness, the question you asked is not something that one or two people can answer overnight." Lu Deming said, "Even Your Majesty is now governing the Tang Dynasty with careful exploration."

Li Chengqian nodded seriously.

"Old Lu, I hope you can live in the manor more now, the longer you live, the better." Li Fu said, "You know, the current school is still very weak."

Lu Deming nodded.

Lu Deming understood Li Fu's little thoughts, and he himself liked the manor very much, so he felt good living here.

Especially after coming here this time, watching Li Fu lead the children to study locusts, watching Li Fu arrange the things to deal with the locust plague on the farm, Lu Deming felt that it was much better than just staying at home in Chang'an City and studying hard.

This farm is a place with great knowledge.

"I am also looking forward to seeing the academy you envisioned." Lu Deming said: "Not only reading the books of sages, students can also learn all kinds of skills, just like you once said, even if you are farming, you plant the best, and how much the yield of one acre of land can be increased, that is also the top talent of the Tang Dynasty!"

Today's Tang Dynasty, people have not yet reached the point of having enough food.

"Yes, agriculture is also the foundation of the country and the top priority. Cultivating corresponding talents is good for the Tang Dynasty. Even if you are good at farming, you can enter the court as an official. Although there is now a Sinong Temple, the responsibilities of the Sinong Temple are far from enough to meet the needs of the people." Li Fu responded.
