Chapter 4060: position

Not long after Liu Bei and Chen Xi left the station, the urgent letter from Chang'an caught up with them. Liu Bei looked at the inscription and found that it was Li You, so he couldn't help but shook his head.
I have to say that in some things, Li You's urgency is indeed the most outrageous.
"Let's take a look at Wenru's letter." Liu Bei handed the letter directly to Chen Xi, and Chen Xi reached out to take it after hearing the words. He looked at the situation inside, and his mentality was inexplicably more complicated.
"What's the matter?" Liu Bei asked in a puzzled manner. Even if he didn't read the letter, Liu Bei could roughly guess what was written in it.
"It's nothing, the bureaucrats in Jizhou are indeed owed." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Let's go, let's go to Jizhou and have a look."
"I won't show up for the next itinerary. You can tell me when you arrive." Liu Bei suppressed his smile when he heard the words and said to Chen Xi.
It is indeed a very good special ability for anyone in the world to not know the monarch, but ah, this kind of ability is used for investigating the case. Liu Bei hasn't passed, I am afraid that Jizhou will receive some wind, which is very terrible, so On the next journey, Liu Beineng would not show up without showing up.
Although Liu Bei has reached this level, it really doesn’t matter to be discovered, because even if it is known in advance by the Jizhou bureaucracy, the Jizhou bureaucracy has no way to solve it. This is already a dimensionality reduction attack, but in order to avoid greater losses in Jizhou, Liu Bei thinks it is better to wait until he arrives at his destination.
After all, Liu Bei’s situation is a little different from Yuan Shu’s situation in Yuzhou. Yuan Shu is a personal madness. Even if he is airborne in Yuzhou, the local bureaucrats will not have extra ideas. But Liu Bei is different. Liu Bei will inevitably have local bureaucrats. Be alert.
"Okay, let's go straight to the ferry crossing on the west side of the Yellow River." Chen Xi nodded, also understanding Liu Bei's caution.
"Airborne to Zhongshan Country." Liu Bei said suddenly.
"Alright, I haven't been there for a long time. Since I'm passing by, I should have a look." Chen Xi nodded. He is really curious about what the Zhen family is doing. It's been more than three years, from Zhen. It's been three years since Mi got married!
Chen Xi and his party came to Jizhou simply disguised as ordinary merchants. Compared to the Northland, this place is indeed prosperous. Even Liu Bei is very dissatisfied with Jizhou bureaucracy. Seeing the prosperous business in Jizhou At that time, the mood was pretty good.
"I have already contacted Ziyang. The other party meant that he would take people to Bohai and we will meet in Bohai." After receiving Liu Ye's reply, Chen Xi explained to Liu Bei. Liu Bei heard the words. Nodded.
"The development of Jizhou is indeed much better than that of Bingzhou." Liu Bei said in a somewhat complicated tone, and Chen Xi nodded when he heard the words.
"This is an inevitable situation, the geographical advantage is actually very obvious, and Jizhou's foundation is good, plus Yecheng is one of the central points of politics and economy, and as the place where we defeated Yuan Benchu ​​and set Ding, it is itself a companion capital. It's huge." Chen Xi didn't have any special feelings about this. These places are naturally easy to develop.
"What do you think those middle and lower-level bureaucrats think? Everyone has a good time. Why do you suddenly have such an idea and continue to follow the old rules and follow the rules you set down. Isn't it bad?" Liu Bei said with a somewhat helpless tone Asked.
This is really bad news. The better this place is, the more Liu Bei feels that the bureaucrats have pitfalls. Obviously, according to the system issued by Chen Xi, they are slowly advancing. Everyone has only good things, no bad things. Why do they have to do it? Where to die?
"How to put it, the simplest point is that when Xuan Degong was in Jiaozhou, he should have felt that although the local clans and tribe owners recognized us, they wanted more. They are the same person." Chen Xi said calmly.
As for anger or something, I knew about it as early as I went north to relax. Chen Xi's sensibility is real, but Chen Xi's mind is very clear. The continuous cycle of history has made Chen Xi see too many similar things. .
So even if this fact is placed in front of Chen Xi, it is only an inevitable reincarnation for Chen Xi. Chen Xi who knows the process and the result naturally knows how to deal with it.
"For us, there is no difference between bureaucrats and the people. We even hope that these bureaucrats can work well for the people. No matter how the bureaucracy is responsible for us, it is only necessary to implement the policies we have issued. It's okay, but it's not for the bureaucrats themselves." Chen Xi sighed and explained.
Regardless of where the power comes from, or whether the monarchy is granted by the gods, or the emperor’s pastoral protection of the people, or the democratic centralized system of later generations, there is a general difference, and that is the question of who the bureaucracy is responsible for, but in fact, regardless of whether it is to the monarch, For the emperor, or for the people, the bureaucracy will inevitably give birth to its own will.
In theory, whether it is the monarch, the emperor, or the people, innately seek stability, and the most important point of stability is the masses of people. After all, the starting point of the collapse of the world must be the rise of the people.
Theoretically speaking, the stability of the people is almost the core point for the continuation of all systems.
However, the problem lies here. The expansion of the bureaucracy will inevitably erode the core point. All kinds of messy ideas will eventually be implemented on the people, and the internal feedback mechanism is actually quite confusing. Some thoughts of superior nature...
In short, the end of the dynasty basically started with the corruption of the overall bureaucracy. The emperor is a bastard. It is only one aspect that the end of the bureaucracy as a whole is the key to the rise of the world, and the beginning of the end of the bureaucracy-the garbage ants are unworthy.
The general summary of the reality is these six words. When the bureaucracy gives birth to this idea, it is time for this country to be destroyed and enter a new round of reincarnation.
"In fact, I don't care much about whether the bureaucracy is responsible to the people or to the superiors." Chen Xi sighed and said, "No matter who is responsible, the bureaucracy can be implemented as a tool, but the bureaucracy itself has its own. Thoughts, this is the most unsolvable."
Listening to what Chen Xi said, Liu Bei couldn't help but nodded. Indeed, the bureaucracy has its own ideas, so many of them will be distorted and will encroach on the interests of others for their own interests.
"It’s best to be responsible to the people. It’s not good or bad to be responsible to the superiors. At least the most superior is responsible to the common people. Then the whole will not be bad at the root, and the bureaucrats who are only responsible to the superiors can deal with it. Easy to handle." Chen Xi said with a smile.
There is a saying, when you believe that power comes from the upper-level enfeoffment, then when the upper-level comes to clean you, remember to kneel and let the other party clean up more smoothly.
So Chen Xi doesn’t care what the bureaucracy thinks, it’s best to be responsible for the people, like Niyang County magistrate Fu Gan, Wei County prefect Li Fu, there is nothing to say, they are responsible for the people, so even if they are wrong, Chen Xi would also listen to their explanations, as long as the people can agree with their explanations, then this matter can pass.
On the other hand, the guards of Changshan County and Bohai County, in theory, gained power from Chen Xi’s side, and the bureaucrats who took charge of this place and were responsible for Chen Xi, how did Chen Xi deal with the accident, how to squeeze it. It's Chen Xi's business.
In fact, in the bureaucratic management system of later generations, it doesn’t really matter what the middle and lower-level bureaucrats do. Whether they serve the people or seek power from their superiors does not matter. The important core is only the initial division of this Power, what kind of thinking is the upper level of the system to run this system?
However, bureaucrats who are only responsible to their superiors must have an imaginary foundation. Such bureaucrats have no way to restrain and communicate on an equal footing with their superiors. Especially when the position of superiors is impacted by the same level, its impact can easily lead to the collapse of the whole. In terms of positioning, it can only be a chess piece.
"Desire is hard to calm down." Liu Bei sighed. No matter how much Chen Xi said, it was really these four words for Liu Bei.
"Well, they are indeed like that." Chen Xi nodded, "The system of streamlining officials still needs to be continued, but this kind of artificial voice makes the local people want the bureaucrats to stay in the local area..."
After the reunification of the Han Dynasty, the officials were basically lied, but the Bohai County Shouneng stayed in the local area for seven or eight years. It is very important that the local people wrote letters to Jizhou, hoping that the Bohai prefect would not leave, and the bureaucrats of the state government respected it. The opinions of the local people, and the county guard himself did not want to leave, so the matter was approved.
After all, some people have written letters, and the state government is determining the opinions of the local bureaucrats. The local bureaucrats do not reject it. Taking into account the public opinion, it is approved. Anyway, everyone is satisfied.
Report to Chang'an, will Chang'an care about this? Chang'an doesn't care, and Chang'an doesn't investigate it. This is just a trivial matter.
"Should I consider the letters of the people in the future?" Liu Bei asked suddenly.
"Of course it needs to be considered." Chen Xi said with a smile, "If the people want to stay, just stay. We just need to increase our review efforts. If this happens, we will send two people from Chang'an to investigate on the spot. How big is the matter? "
"It's fine." Liu Bei thought for a while, and if he really wanted to say it, it seemed like that.
"Let's go, take a look at Zhongshan Wuji. I found some incredible things on the way. The Zhen family is a trash inside, but it is still very good to do business." Chen Xi said with emotion, and then I took out a paper bag of sugar and opened it, and saw a word on the cross section of the sugar.
