life in the sky

After Mu Guoxing finished speaking, he changed the subject and asked again: "How do you understand the benevolence of these two sages?"

This is a big topic. Zheng Wei was caught off guard by Mu Guoxing, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "This question cannot be explained in one or two sentences. I can briefly talk to you about my own understanding. The so-called benevolence is to love the people, how to love the people? In my opinion, this is a big issue related to social stability and national development.”

Mu Guoxing smiled and said: "We are not scholars, and we don't need to study deeply, just talk about your own ideas. How can we truly love the people, how can we make the society stable and the country prosperous. "

"I think that if we want to truly love the people, we must first establish the responsibility system of officials. The responsibility system is not something profound. In the field of private property, the responsibility system is like a common meal, and it is almost not a problem. In the past few years we The country has carried out extensive property rights reform, and this reform is still going on. However, in the field of common property, everyone is a little confused. Maybe some people are superficially confused, but in fact they have ulterior motives in order to facilitate the privatization of property in their own interests.”

Zheng Wei was talking about the responsibility system of private ownership and public ownership. Although he hasn't talked about the topic yet, Mu Guoxing knew that what he said was paving the way for the next one, so he didn't interrupt him. , smiled and continued to listen to Zheng Weigao's talk.

Zheng Wei glanced at Mu Guoxing cautiously, licked his lips and continued: "If we want to truly love the people, we must establish strict legal provisions and rules and regulations, restrain the public power in the hands of officials, and put power in the hands of officials. Under the supervision of the people. But the reality is just the opposite. When we see someone using power for personal gain in movies or TV dramas, when we are angry, we will expect someone to come out to uphold justice, and this person must be someone with greater power. , This shows that rather than saying that people believe in the law, it is better to say that people believe in power. Although the law and love for the people appear to be irrelevant, when carefully analyzed, there is a huge and close relationship."

Seeing what Zheng Wei said was a little dry, Mu Guoxing made a gesture of inviting him to drink tea, and said with a smile: "What you said is also very reasonable. Restraining public power and strengthening the people's supervision of power is the central government's policy. At present, it is vigorously advocated, but to completely solve this problem, it will not be achieved overnight, "

Zheng Wei took a sip of tea and said solemnly: "Governor, I am a Confucian scholar, and what I may say may not be in line with the rules. However, I finally got this opportunity today, so I will spit it out quickly. I think the provincial government is now The law-based administrative inspection that is being carried out reflects this point. This is also a good way to restrain public power and put the government under the supervision of the people and the law. I believe that the makers of this policy must be your province. Long credit."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "How can I see that?"

"First, from the time point of view, this inspection of legal administration only started after you came to Guangnan. Second, you don't have a broad mind, profound knowledge, and a real sense of doing things for the people. The benevolent heart of good deeds cannot do this."

Who said that scholars can't flatter, Zheng Wei's flattering is better than anyone else, his words really reached Mu Guoxing's heart.Looking at the time, the two had been talking for more than two hours without knowing it. Mu Guoxing said with a smile: "The last question, there have been many politicians in our history, for example, Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period, Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, Zeng Guofan in the Qing Dynasty, which of these three characters do you like best? Which one do you dislike the most?"

Zheng Wei knows that the Tao Te Ching discussed just now examines his knowledge from a broad perspective, and taking out these three historical figures, it will be a bit specific to examine a person's vision. If this question is answered well , this young governor must be Long Yan Dayue, if the answer is not good, today's conversation will be considered in vain.

For these three historical figures, it is true that the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see wisdom, and it is difficult to give them a correct judgment. At this time, it is necessary to look at one person's vision, and it is also time to test one's political wisdom.

Zheng Wei thought about it for a while, and said something amazing: "Governor, aside from politics, I hate Zhuge Liang the most among these three historical figures, and I like part of Tang Taizong and Zeng Guofan the most."

Mu Guoxing asked calmly: "Talk about your opinion. What is your theoretical basis?"

"The reason why I don't like Zhuge Liang is mainly based on the following two points." Zheng Wei seemed to have returned to the time when he was defending his graduation from college. , Zhuge Liang is a person who does everything by himself. He doesn't believe in anyone. He thinks that no one can compare with his dedication. He can't let his subordinates do what they should do. The result is that the busier the worse, the worse they are. If they don't succeed in their careers, they will drag themselves down , and finally led to the demise of Shu."

"Secondly, Zhuge Liang has no mind, does not pay attention to discovering talents and cultivating talents, and even destroys talents for his own power. None of them ended well.”

Mu Guoxing listened attentively, and he was also thinking about the meaning of Zheng Wei's words. He felt that the young university teacher in front of him was still a very intelligent person, and also a very assertive person, unlike some current institutions. Like a person in the office, he is submissive all day without any sharp edges, and it seems that he does not know how to work without the instructions of the leader.

"Oh, this is your opinion of Zhuge Liang. Which part of Tang Taizong and Zeng Guofan do you like?"

"Employees!"

"Employ people?"

"Yes, it's the employment." Without waiting for Mu Guoxing to let him go, Zheng Wei picked up the teacup and gurgled and drank it, then added hot water to Mu Guoxing's cup, and continued: "Tang Taizong once said: 'A gentleman employs people. For example, "What kind of talent is useful depends on where the leader puts it. Only by putting them in a suitable position can it play its role to the maximum. Otherwise, it is useless if you find it. You can’t do your best.”

"There is also Zeng Guofan. He was able to achieve such a great career mainly because he grasped two points. The first is learning, and the second is employing people. He insists on reading and practicing calligraphy every day in such a busy day. A large number of people have gathered around him. A talented person, Zeng Guofan's advantage is that he has vision and a heart, and knows people and makes good use of them. This is the quality that a great leader should possess."

Mu Guoxing smiled and said: "Listening to your high-spirited talk, I have something to ask, are you considered a talent? If you were asked to be a leader, what would you do?"

Zheng Wei looked a little coy. To be honest, he never thought that he could be an official in this life. He also thought that he was not the material to be an official. If an arrogant and unruly scholar could become an official, he would definitely cause trouble. Come.If you haven't thought about becoming an official, you naturally don't think about what you will do after becoming an official.

Now that the governor asked this question, he couldn't help but answer it. He was a little uncertain about answering it.At this time, Zheng Wei's arrogant scholarly energy came up again, and he thought, if he didn't do anything, he might as well give him some nonsense and deal with it first, if he didn't talk, wouldn't he appear to be too incompetent?

"I'm sorry, Governor, I'm just a scholar. I've never thought about being an official. Let's count it as me talking nonsense today!"

Mu Guoxing was amused by Zheng Wei: "Okay, I'll just listen to what you're talking about!"

"There is a right way and an incorrect way to do anything. The right way will get twice the result with half the effort, and the wrong way will make you busy. The busier you are, the worse it will be. In this case, it is better to rest and do nothing, at least there is no waste. community resource."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "Interesting, keep going!"

Zheng Wei didn't expect to talk nonsense, and the governor still liked to listen to it. At this time, he was not as restrained as before, and continued: "If you want to do a good job, you must first gather a group of people around the leader, and form a group around the leader. A tight core of power, and through continuous discovery, identification, and correct use of talents, establish your own authority step by step. Then pass on your government orders through your subordinates and implement them, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort Its role. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, you must not rush into everything, it is better to be steady and steady."

Mu Guoxing nodded. He thought that what Zheng Wei said was in line with his governance philosophy, and what the scholar said was indeed to his liking. He asked again: "For example, Mr. Zheng, you have a wide range of knowledge and independent thinking. , I think you are a talent, if you are in my position, what will you do to make the best of your talents?"

Zheng Wei thought for a while and said: "From the thousands of years of our country's history, although there are countless examples of talents being born, discovering and reusing talents, there are also many painful lessons of destroying talents. Between heaven and earth, people are the spirit of all things, and talents are the essence of life. The most scarce resource, the destruction of talents is the greatest desecration of nature. As talents, no matter what age they live in, they must learn to protect themselves, and the rulers must try their best to protect them.”

Then Zheng Wei gave many examples. From the examples he gave, it can be seen that he admired Fan Li, the general who assisted Goujian, the king of Yue, to destroy the state of Wu. What he disapproved of the most was Tan Sitong, who wanted to awaken the people of the country with his own blood. .He believes that the first thing a person should do is to lead others to realize their ambitions, and they must not destroy themselves first because of their ideals.

Zhang Meng knocked on the door and walked in: "Chief, it's getting late, you should also rest."

Zheng Wei looked at the watch on his wrist, it was already eleven o'clock, and hurriedly stood up: "Thank you Governor for giving me this opportunity, I won't disturb your rest!"

Mu Guoxing said: "Don't rush away. I have something to tell you. If you agree, come to the provincial government. Be my secretary for a few years first, and let me see if you are serious. It’s a talent, so you don’t have to rush to answer me, I’ll give you two days to think about it when you go back.”

Zheng Wei was taken aback, he didn't expect that what he talked about all night would reach the governor's heart.The governor's secretary, what a high level is that, no matter what, it must be a division level.As long as he becomes the governor's secretary, is he afraid that he will not be able to realize his ambition in the future?But if he agreed casually like this, wouldn't it make the governor see that he wanted to be an official too much, which would also make people look down on him.

"Governor, I'm a scholar. I'm afraid I won't do well. I only know the rules of the officialdom in theory. If it's a trivial matter to make a joke and affect your image, I'm afraid I can't bear the responsibility. "

How could Mu Guoxing fail to see what this kid was thinking? He smiled and said, "Since you can think of the importance of this job and feel the weight of the burden on your shoulders, you will be able to do it well. Flirting is never going to get things done.”

Zheng Wei returned to the dormitory, took out the key and was about to open the door when he saw a slender figure coming from the corner. Looking carefully, it turned out to be Teacher Liu Fang who had always had a crush on him in the same office.

"Miss Liu, it's so late, you haven't rested yet?"

Liu Fang stretched out her hand and brushed the bangs scattered on her forehead. Following her movement, a unique fragrance of a woman just out of the bath penetrated into Zheng Wei's nostrils, stimulating his olfactory nerves, making the 32-year-old The minds of happy bachelors are swayed.

"I'm worried about you. I saw that you didn't come back so late, so I came to have a look. The leaders of the province came to talk to you today. Is there anything wrong?"

In the middle of the night, lonely men and widows naturally couldn't stand outside the door and talk. If others saw it, it would be a big news tomorrow. Zheng Wei had no choice but to invite Liu Fang into his room at this time.

"Hehe, the governor came to talk to me today, and he didn't say anything. The main reason was that he wanted me to be his secretary, but I didn't agree to him. He said he would let me think about it for two days before replying."

Liu Fang was a little surprised when she heard that, she had already seen that Zheng Wei was not a man in the pond, and she didn't know how much effort she had put into Zheng Wei, but her efforts were like splashing water on the beach, there was nothing wrong with him. For any role, she also realized that Zheng Wei was hurt too deeply by his ex-girlfriend.

"Go, why don't you go? It's a great thing to do. It's the dream of many people to be the governor's secretary. You can give full play to your talents in this position."

Liu Fang made a cup of tea for the two of them instead of customers, and Zheng Wei smiled: "Mr. Liu, you can drink it. I drank tea at the Governor's all night, and now I can raise fish in my stomach."

Liu Fang gave Zheng Wei a white look: "I'm about to become the governor's secretary, and I'm still so out of shape. These problems need to be corrected in the future. Can you tell me your true thoughts?"

Zheng Wei always felt strange when he heard Liu Fang's words. This was beyond the topic among colleagues. Listening to Liu Fang's words was like a wife asking her husband.Seeing Liu Fang looking at him affectionately, Zheng Wei's heart also felt hot, feeling that he had treated Liu Fang too coldly for so many years.

To be honest, Zheng Wei didn't have any feelings for Liu Fang. There were many suitors behind this young and beautiful female teacher, but she just didn't like any of them, and put all her thoughts on Zheng Wei, so that As for being 28 years old, my sister-in-law is still alone.

Zheng Wei thought for a while and said: "To be honest, it's not that I don't want to do it, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it well. Although I haven't worked as a secretary before, I know a lot about it. Yes, it is the people around the leader. How many people are flattering and flattering him? In fact, it is not the same. They also have unspeakable hardships and bitterness. To put it bluntly, this job is the job of serving people, the most difficult thing in the world. It is to do what others want to do, and being with you is like being with a tiger!"

Liu Fang nodded: "What you said is also reasonable. I have a classmate who also works as a secretary for the leader. I saw him at the alumni reunion last year. He was bald when he was less than 30 years old, and his glasses were changed every year. Two pictures, now as thick as the bottom of a bottle. He told us that a secretary belongs to the leader almost 24 hours a day, even if he is sleeping, he must always pay attention to whether the leader will call to find him."

"Yeah, it's just physical exhaustion, but who knows the mental energy exhaustion. People's hearts are separated, and what the leader is thinking in his heart. You can't know for sure, and you can't ask. You can only rely on your own observations." Analyzing and judging, after a long time, you will be physically and mentally exhausted. To be honest, the job of a secretary is really not a human job."

Liu Fang thought for a while and asked, "Then you mean not to go?"

"You also said just now that you can better display your talents in the position of secretary. The ancient sages once said that if you learn the dragon slaying technique and sell it to the emperor's house, you have nothing to do. You don't have a stage. Living a mediocre life is not the work of a man. I also thought about it on the way back, since the governor trusts me, I will follow him to do a good job!"

Liu Fang was happy, and her address changed: "Awei, I knew you were a man with ideals and ambitions. I believe you can do a good job as the secretary of the governor. Although being a secretary is a bit hard, you are making progress. It's also very fast, many of the leaders now are secretaries, I heard that the new governor is a prince from the capital, follow him and you will have a great day sooner or later."

When Liu Fang said this, a trace of shyness appeared on his face, and he said quietly: "It's just that at that time, I don't know if you will remember us ordinary people!"
