same day. The entire Jinchang County is lively from morning to night, and the entire Wuping is also lively from day to night.
There are people everywhere, huge crowds of people, and everyone is queuing up to register.
And on that day, banners were put up in every corner of Jinchang County. Most of the residential houses and courtyard walls were painted with various fonts in white paint by the government officials:
"Strictly abide by Dean Li's three thoughts."
"Dean Li's three strikes: strike against the weakness of the government, strike against the barbarism of the people, and strike against the collective laziness."
“Comply with Dean Li’s three new ideas: new atmosphere, new look, and new spirit.”
“…”
The people of Jinchang County, in order to maintain a good image in front of the government officials, strive to eliminate the criminal record as soon as possible.
There are also people who, when meeting people with government officials, immediately pretend to be loud and shout: "Severely crack down on the weakness of the government, crack down on the barbaric folk customs, and crack down on the collective laziness. Strive to be good citizens and create a better future together." Happy life."
"I firmly believe that under the collective leadership of Dean Li and the Jinchang County government, Jinchang County will end the chaos sooner or later and everyone will live a good life."
"As long as everyone is motivated, as long as everyone is passionate. As long as everyone has dreams, Jinchang County will quickly escape poverty!"
“…”
Amid the invisible pressure of the case, the folk customs in Jinchang County quickly changed. The results were almost immediate. ,
It only took one day to rectify the entire folk customs. A hundred or two hundred birds died, and then the entire Jinchang County immediately became brand new.
In the government office, Zhang Haiyang pulled out the arrow that he had been reluctant to pull out, and came to Li Zhen's office to report in detail all the processes and procedures.
Then he said with a look of sorrow on his face: "I beg Dean Li to forgive me for my rash move. It was my fault that I didn't close the door in time, which caused Dean Li to be almost besieged by the unruly people. Fortunately, Dean Li's security team attacked decisively. I took the initiative Admit your mistakes.”
After speaking, Zhang Haiyang glanced at Jia Liping, who was standing there expressionless. Then he looked at Li Zhen, who was sitting at the desk and smiling, feeling uneasy.
Li Zhen picked up the teapot and said with a smile: "Princess Zhang, you don't have to blame yourself. It's not a big deal. If I were in another position, I would do the same thing."
When Zhang Haiyang heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly and he broke out in cold sweat on the spot.
On that day, Zhang Haiyang pretended to have forgotten to close the door, so the people attacked the government.
But now Zhang Haiyang naturally does not dare to explain this matter thoroughly, saying that he has forgotten it or that it is negligence, and it will be over in terms of face.
But now Li Zhen did not follow his words, but said tactfully, "If I change my position, I would do the same?" ', he didn't say anything, 'It doesn't matter, everyone is negligent sometimes. '
But if he just said that he would change his position, he would do the same thing
So what does this mean
Is it a knock or a warning? Li Zhen told the truth directly, not giving Zhang Haiyang any chance to get through.
While Zhang Haiyang was feeling uneasy and dripping with cold sweat, Li Zhen smiled again and said: "It's not a big deal. That has already passed. I just hope that Princess Zhang can really bring a new atmosphere to Jinchang County in the future."
Zhang Haiyang did not dare to answer hastily, but remained silent, thinking about the mystery behind Li Zhen's words.
After a while, I figured it out. Li Zhen said it was in the past, but in fact there was no past. He said that he would bring a new atmosphere to Jinchang County in the future. In fact, it means it depends on your performance.
If Jinchang County can really get better, it will be over.
If you can't get better, you can't get over it.
That's probably what it means.
Zhang Haiyang nodded heavily: "I will follow Dean Li's teachings. I will definitely not let down Dean Li's high expectations."
"Yes. By the way, the day is coming soon. Tomorrow Liping will ask the people from the agricultural machinery team to start leading the people to use and operate agricultural machinery. There are too few fields in Jinchang County and need to be cultivated more. Not to mention selling food, at least in Jinchang County You have to protect your own capital.”
"Yes, Dean Li."
“…”
After Zhang Haiyang retreated.
Jia Liping immediately said with a gloomy expression: "Master Li, Zhang Haiyang... is really too much. He actually used Master Li as a bait. He made decisions without any discussion and took advantage of Master Li's security team."
Li Zhen smiled and waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with making your own decisions."
"Master Li, there is something about Zhang Haiyang..."
Li Zhen interrupted: "I know it all. This person... makes me a little disappointed."
"Yeah. He disappointed me too."
"It can't be considered a disappointment, it's just...no one is perfect."
Jia Liping was confused: "What do Master Li mean by this?"
Li Zhen looked out the window at the streets of Jinchang County and said in an ethereal tone:
"Tolerance, viciousness, thick face, dark heart, long-term vision, and a kind heart. This is a required course for a basic official, and Zhang Haiyang has achieved the ultimate. This is very rare and very good. These qualities are enough Let Zhang Haiyang be a good official and achieve a high and powerful position. But the fly in the ointment is that this person is somewhat unscrupulous. So the initial preparations are very good, but once the final results come, he will use too much force."
Li Zhen sighed: "Oh. Let's not talk about Zhang Haiyang putting me in danger and taking advantage of my security group in order to make things worse. Just say that he had an arrow stuck in his chest yesterday, swaggering around and performing his tricks everywhere. 'Take great pains and love the people as your own children'. This is unacceptable."
Jia Liping said doubtfully: "I think this is okay. The combination of kindness and power is a common method."
Li Zhen shook his head: "It's true to show kindness and power at the same time, but the performance is too much. You think the people are fools, can't you see that you are pretending to perform? It is too exaggerated to perform with an arrow stuck in it. Just stop it. , if it is overdone, it will easily make people laugh and have the opposite effect."
Jia Liping was stunned for a moment, thinking of the people in Jinchang County, who immediately shouted Li Zhen's three thoughts whenever he saw someone from the government. Suddenly I realized that it seemed to be true.
Is it because the people really follow the three ideas
No.
It's because of the lingering fear of yesterday's bloodbath. I am afraid of the sharp sword hanging above my head - the criminal record.
At first glance, it seems to have achieved the effect. actually not. Because the original intention was to make the people respect and fear the government. It is to make the people believe that the government can lead them to live a good life, and to fill the people's hearts with yearning for future life.
Rather than letting the people be afraid for the sake of being afraid. Just fear, no respect. I just thought about my performance and hard work in order to eliminate the criminal record. Rather than working hard for a better life for yourself.
This is actually the wrong way to go.
The first reason for this is that Zhang Haiyang was a little too ruthless yesterday, and his acting was realistic and hard.
The second reason is because Zhang Haiyang is too fake...
His performance did not have the desired effect, but instead made the people fear him. Let people know that this is a man whose scheming is as deep as a bottomless pit and his methods are as ruthless as Shura's.
But actually…
The real traitors are honest and honest.
As for Zhang Haiyang, in slang, he is a "stupid and stupid person."
The traitor of a great traitor cannot be seen by others, so others are not on guard, so he can achieve great things.
But the traitor of a stupid person is visible to everyone, everyone has a hand in him, and everyone is on guard against him. Not to mention respect, there is only fear.
What can happen
Li Zhen sighed and immediately concluded: "Zhang Haiyang can't go far."
"Why?"
"He is too superficial and unscrupulous. He is easily ostracized. People below him are afraid of him, and people above him are jealous of him. How to move forward?"
Hearing this, Jia Liping looked thoughtful, with a vague look in his eyes.
