The next day, it was bright.

Qizhou government office, meeting hall.

Su Liang looked at Wang Anshi and Sima Guang on the side and said: "You two, just do what I said this morning. Reform is never something that can be accomplished by reasoning. When it's time to be ruthless, We must be ruthless, and the officials will take care of everything for us!"

After Su Liang learned about some of Wang Anshi and Sima Guang's behaviors in Qizhou, he found that they were still too upright and submissive.

Wang Anshi was daring and hard-working, informal but a little reckless; Sima Guang was calm and striving for perfection, but less aggressive.

Su Liang originally thought that the two could complement each other after combining.

He has both a big-picture view that dares to make breakthroughs and a delicate execution ability.

Who would have thought that the former lacked energy and the latter lost composure.

Wang Anshi is not like Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang is not like Sima Guang.

Both sides learned from each other's shortcomings.

Moreover, both of them possess the justice and elegance of scholar-bureaucrats.

This is simply a major flaw for the reform.

Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi were too upright and modest.

This caused the conservatives to kick their noses in the face and expel them one by one from the court.

Su Liang informed the two that since the official family had promised Qizhou autonomy.

This means that the two of them can drive away and punish any official in Qizhou who opposes them or fails to perform their duties well.

Officials at the bottom must be treated with both grace and power.

Establishing prestige still needs to be put first.

Except for the two of them, anyone in Qizhou can change.

Reform is risking one's life.

When you feel wronged, you go to the court. When you are short of money, you go to the court and ask for it.

Babies who cry have milk.

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang looked at each other and encouraged each other.

And this moment.

Zhang Mao had already gone out for a walk with several imperial guards.

Although both Zhang Maoze and Su Liang were ordered to inspect Qizhou, Zhang Maoze only represented the eyes of the officials.

Most of the time, he does not judge or participate in decisions.

He just makes a pair of eyes.

Selectively feed back the results you see to Zhao Zhen.

Zhang Mao knows it well.

Sometimes, his presence makes some officials unable to let go, so he disappears when it is time to disappear.

This is also the way most chamberlains serve as officials.

The main responsibility for inspecting Qizhou still lies with Su Liang, the supervisory censor.

……

After a while.

Qizhou Observation Officer Xu Duanshan, Licheng County Cheng Baiguang, and Licheng County Wei Cui You wandered into the meeting hall.

These three people are all veteran officials. They would rather not do anything than make mistakes. They are used to being undisciplined.

When they saw that Su Liang was also here, they couldn't help but be stunned.

The year before last, when Su Liang was appointed official, Xu Duanshan was working as the prefectural government clerk, Bai Guang was still the county magistrate, and Cui You was just an ordinary government official.

They will never forget that scene.

Su Liang and former Qizhou magistrate Ge Wenlin argued in the lobby of the state government office for a full hour. Then Su Liang rolled up his sleeves and came out. On the white wall outside the state government office, he dipped his pen in ink and wrote "Lazy Official" in one breath. sparse".

It was this article "Lazy Officials" that caused Ge Wenlin to lose his official position, and also made Su Liang become an official in Beijing, and became the admonishing officer in Taiwan that everyone envied.

present.

Some scholars in Qizhou are still reciting Su Liang's "Lazy Officials", hoping to get some blessings.

These three people were still a little frightened when they saw Su Liang.

Because they are also the type of lazy officials in "Lazy Officials".

However, because the official position was too small and Su Liang was promoted quickly, they were not implicated.

Xu Duanshan, who was over fifty years old, slightly bowed his hands towards Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, then raised his head and looked at Su Liang.

"Su Tui... Su Yushi, it's been a long time no see! You are the pride of our Qizhou. Back then, you wrote "Lazy Officials" and became famous all over the world. Then you rose to great heights in Bianjing. Now all the students in Qizhou regard you as To set an example!"

A person like Xu Duanshan is a smooth-tongued person who is smiling but not smiling.

The county magistrate Bai Guang then said: "Wang Zhizhou, Sima Tongpan, and Yushi Su come to Qizhou. We must entertain them well. I wonder why you have called me here today? If you want to arrange a banquet, I...I Make arrangements immediately!"

County Lieutenant Cui You also smiled and said: "Su Yushi, several brothers below always mention you. We must get together when we have time!"

It is the inertia of these three people to build relationships with the rich and powerful.

Moreover, what they said made people feel that Qizhou was the home of the three of them, and Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and Su Liang were all outsiders.

This feeling made Su Liang and the three of them feel very uncomfortable.

Su Liang smiled lightly and said, "It all depends on Wang Zhizhou and Sima Tongpan's arrangements!"

At this time.

Wang Anshi stretched out his hand and motioned for the three of them to sit down.

After the three people sat down, Wang Anshi said: "Su Yushi came here this time on the orders of the officials to inspect the dismissal of officials in Qizhou." "Xu Tuiguan, you and the officials below have dismissed their duties." How was the chat? Can you tell me when they will arrive at the office?"

Xu Duanshan said with a smile: "Wang Zhizhou, the brothers below are quite reasonable. We have said that as long as we can meet a few of your requirements, we will immediately return to the state and county offices and work hard!"

"any request?"

"First, ensure everyone has enough rest time. Our officials in Qizhou are not as good as those in Bianjing City. Many officials work with their families and have many things to do at home. Occasionally they are late and should not be punished!"

"Second, make sure not to stay up late, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. You two are very energetic, but you guys can't stay up like this, or you will die!"

"Thirdly, everyone should keep their duties. You can't treat one person as two people and let the person who is on duty stand guard!"

"Fourth, the subordinate officials hope that the state government can increase the monthly salary!"

Hearing this, Sima Guang suddenly felt dissatisfied.

"Xu Tuiguan, don't you think these demands are a bit excessive? When the two of us first came to Qizhou, you had not arrived at the state office until three o'clock in the morning, and no one was found in the afternoon. There are no rules at all if there is no punishment. !”

"As for Xiu Mu, Wang Zhizhou and I have made adjustments. On the whole, everyone is more relaxed. But if you still want to be as leisurely and relaxed as usual, I'm afraid it's impossible. Qizhou at the moment wants to be a man of the world. Qizhou, which everyone yearns for!"

Xu Duanshan spread his hands and shrugged.

"Wang Zhizhou, Sima Tongpan, if you say this, the subordinate officials may be powerless. Please talk to those dismissed officials in person!"

Wang Anshi glared and said: "Xu Duanshan, don't think that I don't know that many officials were induced by the three of you. If you can't convince all the officials tomorrow at this time, I will punish you and the three for dereliction of duty!" "

Hearing this, Xu Duanshan was immediately angry.

He cupped his hands and said, "Since Wang Zhizhou can't trust me so much, then I'll ask you to resign!"

After he finished speaking, Bai Guang and Cui You also held their hands and said, "I also asked you to resign!"

These three people dared to ask themselves to resign because they were convinced that the Qizhou Prefectural Government was short of them, and Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were unable to do anything.

As long as the three people do not relent, nearly [-]% of the officials and subordinates in Qizhou City will continue to go on strike.

After that, the three of them were about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Wang Anshi said sternly, "Qizhou is an autonomous state, and I have absolute decision-making power. If you want to resign, you can resign. Do you still care about me?"

"Come here! Each person has twenty sticks, and they will be driven out of the house and will never be used again."

brush!brush!brush!
Immediately, six government officials rushed over, each holding a stick in his hand.

Xu Duanshan did not expect that Wang Anshi would really dare to hit them.

"Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, you... you are just two outsiders. Why should you lynching me? I... I... want to impeach you!"

Wang Anshi smiled faintly: "Do you know what Qizhou autonomy is? If you have the guts, go and impeach him and see how the officials will judge!"

At this time, Su Liang on the side also said: "Xu Tuiguan, after you finish writing the memorial, I can help you pass it on."

Bai Guang glared and said: "Su Liang, don't think that being a censor is something great. In this three-acre land of Qizhou, you have no say. If you beat me today, the entire Qizhou city will be destroyed." Paralysis, you will regret it!”

Wang Anshi waved his hand again and said: "Take him to the gate of the state government and beat him hard, so that the people can take a look!"

Immediately, the three of them were taken to the gate of the state government office.

Twenty canes were enough to beat their butts to pieces.

Su Liang looked at Wang Anshi and Sima Guang and said, "Does it feel very comfortable to do things like this?"

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang smiled and nodded.

Su Liang made Wang Anshi and Sima Guang understand a truth.

Since it is a reform, we cannot follow the rules.

In the past three years in Qizhou, the two of them can work hard, not afraid of making things big, but afraid of not making things big.

Now, the whole court is staring at Qizhou.

If Qizhou remained silent, nothing would be accomplished after three years, and the Song Dynasty's reform would become a huge joke.

These lazy officials should be dealt with ruthlessly.

If you can do it, do it; if you can't, resign immediately.

Qizhou was autonomous, and Wang Anshi and Sima Guang had sufficient power to appoint and remove officials.

Some bad apples should be eliminated immediately.

Twenty sticks later, Xu Duanshan, Bai Guang, and Cui You were carried back home.

The three of them were still clamoring, saying that one day Wang Anshi and Sima Guang would beg them.

……

At noon that day, three notices were posted in front of the state government office.

The first was the dismissal order from Qizhou Observation Officer Xu Duanshan, Licheng County Prime Minister Baiguang, and Licheng County Lieutenant Cui You. Wang Anshi announced that they would be exempted from all official titles for dereliction of duty and would never use them again.

The second is a notice to those dismissed officials and subordinates. If the dismissed officials have not reported to the prefecture office before noon tomorrow, they will be punished for dereliction of duty, with twenty sticks and removal from their posts. They will not be tolerated.

The third is a letter about a salary increase for low-level officials. Starting from June, the state government will adopt a 'more work, more gain' performance appraisal system. Those who perform well will have the opportunity to receive no less than five times the current monthly salary. If there are any major omissions or mistakes in remuneration, there will naturally be penalties.

This is the combination of generosity and strength, equal emphasis on kindness and power.

Nowadays, the monthly salary and salary of Qizhou officials are all borne by Qizhou Yamen.

Reform is a hard job.

Before letting the horse run, you must let the horse eat first.

After discussing with Su Liang, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and Su Liang decided to increase their salaries significantly.

If they don't have enough money, they will shamelessly ask for it from the court, and there will be someone in the court who will speak for them.

In addition, Su Liang deliberately strolled twice outside the state government office.

His appearance will make a large number of people think that these measures come from the imperial court.

Suddenly, the entire Qizhou City became lively.
