Ao Huang muttered quietly: "When the workshop was good, those workers were all good workers. When the workshop was not doing well, they all became bad workers. If they were so changeable, they would have become officials long ago. Of course, there must be problems among them."
Fang Yun glared at Ao Huang and said, "Yingwu, please continue. Did you personally experience what happened back then?"
Fang Yingwu shook his head and said, "I have never personally witnessed this, but Mr. Wu, who used to work with me, was a staff member of the Director of the Mizhou Engineering Department. He made a very thorough analysis. After Liu Shan successfully vilified the workshop workers, he began to ask the workshop to lay off the workers. The workers were naturally dissatisfied and blocked the door of the county government and the road. However, Liu Shan had already slandered the workers as lazy and incompetent. Not only would the other people in Mizhou not sympathize with them, they would even hate them."
Ao Huang was stunned and said, "What a powerful method, even worse than luck. You are worthy of being the left prime minister. I would never have thought of this method if it were me! Once this method is used, the workers will be isolated and stand on the opposite side of the people and officials across the country."
Fang Yingwu said, "Prince Huang has drawn inferences from one example, and I admire you. What you just said is Liu Shan's method of targeting the workers. After that, Liu Shan began to deceive the people. Didn't he say that there were corrupt officials? So he toughly rectified the administration. Yes, he did deal with a very small number of corrupt officials, but more than 80% of the punished officials were those who had shallow backgrounds and opposed his selling the workshop, as well as those who were opposed to his faction. Then, he used the heads of those officials as his own administrative achievements, and naturally filled the vacant positions with his own people, gradually making Mizhou his world."
"What? How is this possible?" Ao Huang looked at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun said, "What Yingwu said is almost consistent with what I know and infer."
Fang Yingwu continued, "The reason why Liu Shan was promoted directly from Mizhou Mu to the Minister of Personnel was not because he sold the workshop, but because he sold it to the right person! Who can afford to buy a workshop is not a powerful family? Who dares to buy a workshop has someone above him? However, Liu Shan knew the faces of those people very well. So there is a prerequisite, that is, to allow the workshop owner to purchase a part of the 'shares' to ensure the smooth operation of the workshop in the future."
Fang Yun nodded, knowing that shares were called "guzi" in ancient times.
Ao Huang angrily said: "Those shop owners are clearly running unprofitable businesses, so why are they allowed to get shares? Isn't this like washing dirty clothes with dirty water, the more you wash, the blacker they become?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.
"Yasuyama's reason is very simple. In addition to guaranteeing the smooth operation of the workshops in the future, he also said that those problematic workshop owners have been punished, and those problematic and lagging workers have been fired. In addition, the management method of the workshops has changed. Therefore, those workshops can be revived."
"Since changing the management style, firing problematic workers, and punishing problematic workshop owners can bring the workshop back to life, can we solve the problem without selling it? Even if we have to sell the workshop, why not allow the workers to jointly buy shares? It can have the same effect, right?"
Fang Yingwu glanced at Ao Huang and remained silent.
Fang Yun turned his head and looked out the window, and said slowly: "If he had not sold the workshop, and if he had allowed the workers to buy shares, he would not have been able to hold on to his position as governor of Mizhou, and later he would not have been able to hold on to his position as left prime minister."
Ao Huang was stunned. A look of sadness appeared in his eyes. He nodded and said, "I understand."
Fang Yingwu sighed and said, "It's good that you understand. What can those workers bring to Liushan? Good reputation? How much good reputation can a few workers bring him? He can gain more reputation by deceiving more people! Selling the workshop to officials and wealthy families is equivalent to gaining their support, and his official position will be more stable. Those who can recommend articles to Wen Bao and those who are responsible for reviewing articles. Which one is a worker? Which one is a commoner? History books are never written by common people. History books are always the works of officials and those in power."
Ao Huang looked at Fang Yun and said, "I didn't understand why you said that even if the Queen Mother fell, Liu Shan would not fall. I also understand why you said that in the future, even if Taizu and Taizong were accused by officials, the Left Prime Minister Liu Shan would not be denied by officials. Now I understand."
"This child is teachable." Fang Yun said with a smile.
Ao Huang said in surprise: "Why aren't you angry? Didn't Liu Shan make a mistake? Shouldn't he be scolded?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.
Fang Yun said: "Let me ask you, by selling the workshops, did he help those workshops to come back to life? Did he help the workshops that were losing money to make money?"
"Yes. But wouldn't it be better if he didn't sell the workshop, or sold it to the workers? He sold something that originally belonged to Jingguo and was shared by all the people in the area to others at a low price. Isn't that wrong?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.
"You are totally wrong to use the mentality of the common people to measure a bureaucrat! He is a bureaucrat, he must protect the interests of the bureaucracy and consolidate his position. As for the interests of the common people, what does it have to do with him?"
"But he said that the reform of the workshop was for the sake of Jingguo and the people."
Fang Yun said: "He is a bureaucrat, he is a generalist, he can use political tactics to deceive the people, what's wrong with that? Everything he did was correct for a bureaucrat!"
"He... he is right, am I wrong?" Ao Huang was confused.
"If you are a bureaucrat and a beneficiary, he is right. If not, think about it yourself. In addition, let me tell you clearly that many county-owned workshops that were doing very well were sold at a low price under the banner of workshop reform. What do you think?" Fang Yun asked back.
Ao Huang was stunned, totally unable to believe that such a thing would happen.
Fang Yingwu looked at Fang Yun and said, "It turns out that you know all about these things, but why do you still want to severely punish those monks?"
Fang Yun said: "They got rid of their identities as the owners of the county-owned workshops. They helped the workshops to revive, but how did the workshops collapse before? It was because some of the owners used the workshops for personal gain! In order to make a few taels of silver, they did not hesitate to let the people of Jingguo pay ten taels of silver. I must tell them, and I must tell the world that they are wrong!"
"If you do this, you will be making enemies with all the officials and powerful people in Ning'an County and even Mizhou."
Fang Yun smiled calmly, held his chest high, and said, "So what? I didn't come to Ning'an County to be an official! This is something you all misunderstood!"
An invisible force surged in the study, and the vital energy of heaven and earth within a hundred miles was thrown into chaos.
Ao Huang and Fang Yingwu looked at Fang Yun in astonishment, because a faint white light emanated from Fang Yun's body, which then dissipated in an instant.
Both of them have seen this kind of white light!
Ao Huang blinked and asked in surprise: "Fang Yun, how come you have such righteousness?"
"Oh?" Fang Yun looked down and found nothing. "Did you see it wrong? There are not many words on Wucuo Novel Network."
Ao Huang and Fang Yingwu looked at each other in confusion, but said nothing more.
Fang Yun said: "Let's go, let's start with the Rong Xiucai we met at the door of the stubborn old man that day!"
Fang Yingwu asked, "Do you really want to kill all the monks?"
"I can't do everything yet, but as long as I can kill them all, I won't leave a single one alive!" Fang Yun said.
"Saint Fang Xu is mighty and powerful! I am convinced." Ao Huang's eyes lit up. Fang Yun's approach was very suitable for him.
Fang Yingwu's brows were gloomy. (To be continued...)
