Chapter 4029: Internal reason

No matter what kind of management, there must be loopholes. This is unavoidable. Therefore, the so-called management has loopholes. In fact, the main consideration is more cost and difficulty.

Obviously, compared with the former who needs to stare at the very large-scale people, the latter only needs to stare at a small number of bureaucrats, even if it is easier to monitor.

"It is true that the scale of the bureaucracy is there, and the situation you mentioned is really going to happen. It is indeed much easier to manage than the ordinary people." Liu Bei nodded and admitted this fact, "It's just In this case, it can't actually be solved. If you encounter a situation like this one, it will still be troublesome."

"I'm not solving the situation that I'm encountering now?" Chen Xi said with a smile, "Actually, in my cognition, the operation of the country definitely needs money. All infrastructure and all are conducive to people's livelihood. All projects require a lot of capital investment."

Liu Bei nodded, and he knew that, without a large amount of investment, there would be no development.

"The problem is that it is impossible for us to create so much money." Chen Xi sighed and said, "In fact, the bureaucracy itself does not have the ability to make money. From the core, their existence should be for Optimizing management, but in fact, this is not the case."

Liu Bei frowned, he really didn't understand this.

"In fact, where the money comes from, it is actually very clear, and it is taken from the people. This sentence has explained the essence, that is, no matter how money is obtained, it is the result of the value created by the collective labor of the people. "Chen Xi looked very calm.

"It looks like no money is collected, but in fact it is. That's what it means." Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei, Liu Bei thoughtfully.

"Therefore, if any political entity wants to operate continuously, it must do its utmost to avoid a situation. This proportion of the people cannot let the people die." Chen Xi said with a bit of lament.

"In fact, the collapse of the dynasties has already explained this problem, and the narratives of the scholars have also described this reality, but the gap between theory and reality is too large. After the country's other benefits cease, Taxes can only be increased, not decreased." Chen Xi said helplessly.

This is the biggest culprit in the country’s operations. Taxation is only a very important part of the country’s own industries. But it can be regarded as a state-owned industry because of technology, ceiling, human resources and other reasons. When it is impossible to continue to provide these funds that were originally used to supply the country's operations.

Then there are only a few options left. One is to abandon high-speed operation, the other is to operate at high-speed nominally to suppress internal worms, and the remaining two are to increase taxes and streamline the bureaucracy.

The choice is so simple, but the actual choice is actually only the second one. If you change to Chen Xi, you will also choose the second one. It is impossible to increase taxes by increasing taxes. I would rather print money at the end of the year to make up for the deficit, rather than directly increase taxes. It is also impossible to streamline. Who is working at the executive level, streamlined, the problem is even greater.

As for the first one, it’s not optional, so I don’t solve it first. After all, there are internal problems and external solutions.

After all, the operation of a country can be different from a herd of wild beasts. The despair of humans and the trapped beasts of the beasts are still two concepts. The despair of a whole country leads to the collapse of the country, and the result is no better than the one who fell before. No matter how much technology you use, don't you just say it breaks and it breaks? So boil it for a while and wait for the charcoal grilled eagle sauce to be another option.

Therefore, Chen Xi is very rational. It is impossible to increase taxes by increasing taxes. However, all items that have the opportunity to become taxes are cut off. They were nailed to death from the beginning. , Taxes and fees are fully implemented, don't catch the wool at the bottom, so that those people can live, feel the goodness of the Han Dynasty, and see hope.

As long as it is maintained at this level, the remaining problems are all problems of the bureaucracy, so if something goes wrong, it will be clear who will be beaten, and who will be the whip will also be very clear.

"So, sometimes, it's enough to figure out who the opponent is." Chen Xi said with a gentle expression. "For most people, it is actually difficult to figure out from the national level, who is the enemy and who is the friend. , Who is the vacillating middleman."

Liu Bei nodded, his own person was already quickly divided in his mind.

"So you should beat them or you have to beat them. Beat them so that they understand that they are not irreplaceable, and they will calm down." Chen Xi looked at the east and the Jizhou side. It should be at the craziest time.

And the madness of the bureaucracy, sometimes, really makes people unable to complain, whether it is for the people who are willing to go all out, or for the superiors, it is actually the same.

Just like the revolution, although the top level is small, but those who have betrayed the class, they have the resources to give money, food, and support. They have a certain degree of influence themselves. The same bottom, the largest scale, the most determined. Determination, after being enlightened, to fight desperately, is the most extensive foundation.

The middle-level, the middle-level actually has nothing, scale and scale, resources and resources, even if they have empathy, they are not the so-called general public, and there is no way to effectively connect them together, so the time is really to be ruthless. , Who to fight, the least impact, is actually very clear.

Of course, it is to unite with the bottom to solve the problem for the bottom, and go to the middle group, because it can solve the problem and relieve the pressure.

"Is that so?" Liu Bei nodded when he heard the words, "In fact, I don't pay much attention to Jizhou. After you answered the previous question, I know that Jizhou's problem is actually no longer a problem, as long as I can solve it. The solution to the problem, as for things like punishment before and after, actually depends more on you to handle it."

"Compared with punishing them before and after, for bureaucrats, it is more important for bureaucrats to recognize their position. If it is irreplaceable, then it really depends on the morality of the other party. If it is difficult to replace, the other party has some Small movements require opening one's eyes and closing one's eyes, and if they can replace them at any time, they will work hard to maintain their own power." Chen Xi said calmly, not saying that it was just to take care of the people.

It’s a matter of being an official for the people, but all of them demand this. That’s nonsense. For most people, as long as the bureaucracy tries to solve the problems of local people’s livelihood purely for the sake of being an official and a high-ranking official. enough.

Even as far as the bureaucratic system is concerned, all bureaucrats can be restrained for the sake of gaining positions and achieving high-level officials. In this process, working hard to develop and solve people’s livelihood issues is already a great success. The problem is that, in fact, this is actually Not in line with reality.

"It's enough to prove that even if they are connected in series, they are only replaceable objects at any time." Chen Xi was extremely calm. "This way, they will calm down a lot, and of course there will definitely be some who have tasted the taste of power and will completely lose their lives. The guy, jumped over the wall in a hurry."

"Dog jumps off the wall in a hurry?" Liu Bei squinted his eyes, the cold light did not hide the slightest.

"There is no need to use this expression, because this kind of thing is inevitable." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "At this point, what country, what ethnicity, is actually meaningless to these people. Their goal is already That's not the case. The others are discardable objects, but the good thing is that there are no objects around us that can connect them to each other, and they can't find them in an urgent situation."

This era is not the era of high-speed transmission of information in later generations. Even if these people have such thoughts, it is difficult to convert the information they have into resources that can be escaped.

Therefore, Chen Xi is not very worried. These bureaucrats will choose to betray the country or something. In reality, even if they want to betray the country, they have no objects to sell. Realistic conditions make it impossible for them to contact foreign circles.

"Then what if they bring the people into a shock?" Liu Bei said with a frown.

Liu Bei is not worried about those people betraying the country or something, because there is no basis for implementation, but if they coerce the people, Liu Bei will have a headache, and compared with the former, the latter is less difficult to implement.

"It's very possible, but the people won't work hard, eat well, dress well, all this is not given by the local bureaucracy, so why do you sacrifice your life to the local bureaucracy?" Chen Xi said flatly, "every large-scale reform order , Are all public documents from Chang'an."

"As for forced orders, there is basically no possibility. It is not easy to deal with the common people after the villages merged these days. The disadvantage of all the people is that private fights are easy to occur. The advantage is that the people are martial and dare to fight. It is difficult for local bureaucrats to persecute. "Chen Xi said quietly.

Hammering a dog’s head is not meant to be heard, but it can be done. There is a possibility of inciting something, and the possibility of forcing it is very small. If it can be incited, facing some people, it will not be possible at all. Any result, such as Liu Bei.

"In other words, in the end, I have to go to Jizhou?" Liu Bei pointed to himself somewhat surprised and said, this is really an accident, originally thought he didn't need to go.

"Generally speaking, you don't need to go. It mainly depends on the craziness of the bureaucrats. The crazier you are, the more likely you are to clean up the mess in the past." Chen Xi said calmly, "It is logically possible to incite the local people. But whether it can succeed or not, there are two things to say."

"Is that so?" Liu Bei lowered his head and thought, the frame still heading north.
