Chapter 1219 What the people want, what wins
After confirming that the rewards had been distributed and that no one was missed, Zhu Pingan returned to the Jingnan County Government Office amidst the thankful voices of "Zhu's parents", "Zhu Qingtian" and "Qingtian Master" among the common people shouting like a tsunami.
"Young master." On the way back, Liu Dadao and the others took out the reward silver they had received from their arms and handed it to Zhu Pingan.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Pingan froze for a moment, unable to react for a while.
"Master, we are not short of silver. We live in the son, eat the son, wear the son, there is no place to use the money. The son is short of money, the silver, the son can use it." Liu Dadao and the others insisted.
"No need." Zhu Pingan laughed when he heard the words, and then he understood what they meant, and waved his hand, "These silvers are your rewards."
"My lord, you asked for merit for us. All of us were given small flags because of our meritorious deeds, and we all became officials. This is something we never dared to dream of. Hehe, it's all because of your lord, and we have honored our ancestors. The young master has already given us a huge reward, so we don't have the face to reward him." Liu Dadao and the others laughed.
"One yard is one yard. These are all what you deserve. If it weren't for you at that time, Jingnan might not be able to keep it. How could I, Zhu Ping'an, be promoted to the fifth rank because of my merits? The benefits I got from it are much more than you. Besides, your little money is just a drop in the bucket."
Zhu Pingan smiled and waved his hand, pushed back their hands holding the silver, and declined their kindness.
This request for credit is indeed because I am partial to Liu Dadao and the others. However, Liu Dadao and the others have followed him the longest, they are considered his direct descendants, and they contributed a lot in the fight against the Japanese, so I don't favor whom they favor.
"Young Master, the rewards for us are just a drop in the bucket, but the extra rewards that were given to everyone just now are not. My son, I don't understand. In fact, it is enough to distribute the rewards according to the order of heavy rewards. Why do we need to give everyone more rewards? The county government is short of money. You need to repair the city walls, build water conservancy projects, build beacon towers in coastal counties, move people around, and open up wasteland. All of these need money. My son has been worrying about money these days. This is too much Isn't the silver reward just to relieve the young master's urgent need?"
Liu Mu also knew that the amount of rewards he and others were worth was a drop in the bucket for the vacancy, but the extra rewards were not, it was 20,000 taels. Liu Mu didn't understand why Zhu Pingan insisted on giving out more rewards, and couldn't help but be puzzled. asked.
Zhu Ping'an has been worrying about money recently. Due to the shortage of money, it is difficult to carry out many plans. Liu Mu and the others couldn't understand this very well, so they didn't understand why Zhu Pingan insisted on paying more rewards than the heavy reward order.
"That's right, young master, you worry about money every day. Isn't this extra reward money good? We use it for business, and it's not about taking it into our own pockets for corruption. No one will say anything."
In fact, Liu Dadao couldn't bear it for a long time, and now when he heard Liu Mu speak, he couldn't help but agree.
"Young master, you have deposited more than a thousand taels of private money a few days ago," Liu Dachui also said.
Liu Daqiang and others also agreed in puzzlement.
Zhu Pingan understands that they are all thinking of themselves, but their eyes are still not far enough.
Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, and did not answer them directly, but asked a question, "You say, for the government, whether it is building water conservancy, repairing the city wall, or recruiting and transferring, what is the most important thing? "
"Young master, of course it is silver. If there is no silver, how can we use it to build water conservancy projects, repair city walls, dig embankments, build bricks, stones and mud tiles, etc., all of which need silver. Therefore, silver must be the most important thing." Liu said. As soon as Zhu Ping'an's voice fell, Da Dao said his answer without hesitation.
Although money is very important, there are too many county governments with full treasuries, which are still poor in governance.
Zhu Ping'an smiled without saying a word, and looked at Liu Mu.
"Clean?"
Liu Mu hesitated for a moment, then replied.
Zhu Pingan smiled and shook his head, "An incompetent and honest official, or a capable and corrupt official, which one is better?!"
Hearing this, Liu Mu couldn't help but ponder. Indeed, if an official is clean but incompetent, what good will it do to the people in the jurisdiction? Capable corrupt officials have created much value for the people in their jurisdiction.
"Is that the most important thing about officials?" Liu Dachui replied triumphantly, as if he had suddenly realized.
Zhu Ping'an still shook his head.
Next, Liu Dadao and the others talked about diligence and ability. Zhu Pingan still shook his head and smiled without saying a word.
"My lord, what is that?" Liu Dadao couldn't think of anything, scratched his head, and asked in confusion.
Liu Mu and others also looked at Zhu Ping'an in confusion, wondering what is most important to governance.
"People's hearts."
Zhu Ping'an spoke slowly, his eyes shining brightly, like two bonfires burning.
"People's hearts?" Liu Dadao couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. Is people's hearts the most important factor in politics? !
"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. This sentence is applicable in any position. The most important thing for a government is the hearts of the people. What the people want is what they want to win. The prosperity of politics lies in winning the hearts of the people, and the failure of politics lies in Lose the hearts of the people. Only when the government wins the hearts of the people can the decrees issued by the county government get the support and support of the people, and everything will go smoothly with half the effort. Otherwise, the decrees will be like water without roots, and it will be difficult to implement. As the ancients said , The common people are water, and the politicians are boats. Water can carry a boat and capsize it. If you win the hearts of the people, you can ride the wind and waves; if you lose the hearts of the people, the boat will capsize and you will die.”
Zhu Ping'an explained softly as he walked forward slowly.
Liu Muru was enlightened, and looked at Zhu Ping'an with admiration to the extreme. The young master is worthy of being a young master, the youngest No. 1 scholar in Ming Dynasty, and he is worthy of being a fifth-rank official before he is young.
"But my lord, the cost of using so much money to win the hearts of the people is too high, right?" Liu Dadao felt that it was not worthwhile.
"There is no cost. The silver is the reward for winning the head of the Japanese pirates, and it belongs to everyone. It's just that the Holy One doubled it." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, "In order to win the hearts of the people, the ancient Shang Yang used fifty yi gold, Migrate wood to establish faith. As long as you move a wooden pole to the north gate, you will be rewarded with 50 yi gold. , This thousand taels of gold is not worth mentioning at all, not to mention that the extra silver rewards I gave out belonged to the common people. You can win the hearts of the people of the county with nothing, so why not do it."
