535. The Oneness of Officials and Officials (1)

In the next few days, Jing Wen was playing with a few beauties, and it seemed that he was not affected by the captain. However, because his identity had been revealed, local officials in Xianyang asked someone to protect Jing Wen because there was a princess around Jing Wen and the others. If there was a problem with the princess, they would be very bad. So, they all sent people to follow him, saying that they should protect the princess so that everyone could have a peace of mind. But everyone seemed not used to having outsiders to follow him, so they didn't play much. After two or three days, everyone went back.

Jing Wen returned to the so-called political research office and found the leaders of several political research offices who were from minor officials.

"Gao Ming, you are the team leader of the official department. You should know the mentality of ordinary grassroots officials best. Do you think the grassroots officials have so-called obstructions and then shirk their responsibilities. If you should have done things in one day, if you don't give them some benefits, they won't do it for you at all? Or if you can do something that you can do, you have to delay for a few days?" Jing Wen asked.

Gao Ming was a little sluggish because this situation was often found by the minor officials at the bottom. The minor officials at the bottom were delayed whenever they could, and were very afraid of taking responsibility, and were very unenthusiastic about many things. He was a minor official from the bottom, and of course he knew the mentality of the officials at the bottom, that is, they wanted to use the little power in their hands and then use it to generate income. And they were not very corrupt, and they just made some money to subsidize their family income. However, the anti-** ban of the court could not hit them, because the court investigated and punished corrupt officials at the level of "official", but officials were rarely investigated and punished. These minor officials were small in power, but they were large in large in terms of power, because they had the power to execute all the policies of a county, and this execution power could be said to be of great benefit.

When Jing Wen saw Gao Ming's attitude, he understood the facts. The lower-level officials all had this phenomenon. This phenomenon also existed in later generations, and there were many. These phenomena were mainly some section chief-level officials who used their execution rights to pay for some people. They were also very unhappy in government affairs, and they were shirkable about official duties, and they were not enthusiastic about shirking the responsibility of official affairs, and were not enthusiastic about sharing the worries of the court and serving the people. This phenomenon is a situation called section chief phenomenon, which mainly occurred in section chief officials.

But a few days ago, Jing Wen saw this situation. It seemed that ordinary detectives had this phenomenon and were not keen on arresting criminals. It seemed that they were not keen on the attitude of criminals, because these things seemed to have nothing to do with them. These detectives were all young, so how could they be so lacking in passion and passion for work? This is worth thinking about.

Originally, the section chief should have appeared in those older section chiefs. It was difficult for them to promote and had no future, so they had the idea of ​​stumble. They also wanted to use their rights to make some extra small benefits for themselves, and these benefits were borne by the subordinates and ordinary people. Therefore, this became a burden for the people. If they did not do what they should do, they would do what they should not do, so they would generate income for themselves. This situation should have occurred in older people, but now it actually appeared in some ordinary young constables. This is very surprising. Young people, who are not fighting for the future, have also developed this bad habit. This is still in Xianyang County, Jingzhao Prefecture, Chang'an. If it is in another place, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. It is probably even more serious.

Jing Wen knew the role of these minor officials. These grassroots minor officials actually do not have much effect or power. But they represent the image of the government. In the eyes of the people, the government is actually determined by the behavior of the minor officials. If these minor officials can do their best, they may have a good impression of the government. But if these minor officials are all thinking of ignoring the rules and making money, the people will be very dissatisfied with the government. Later generations did not say that it was difficult to enter, difficult to handle things, and ugly faces. In fact, these were the situations of grassroots civil servants. However, many people scolded the entire government as soon as they opened their mouths. Ordinary people would not think that this was the business of ordinary minor officials, but that this was the entire government. Although this was inevitable to generalize, this also showed the impact of these minor officials on the image of the government. And if they were not enthusiastic about doing things, when could the country's policies be implemented?

After hearing what Jing Wen said, it was rare to say it.

"Sir, you are actually normal. When I was down there, those constables were just stumbled, and there were not many people who were enthusiastic about catching criminals. They were all untouchables in the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and many yamen runners were untouchables. Moreover, they were all yamen runners for generations, and they were untouchables for generations! Moreover, other yamen runners may still be promoted, but they could never be promoted because they were untouchables." Gao Ming said.

Jing Wen also understood that these yamen runners were all untouchables, no wonder they were not enthusiastic! If you use yamen runners to describe later generations, they were later policemen. But it is hard to imagine that in ancient times, the status of policemen was actually untouchables, but they would be discriminated against by others. The yamen runners were untouchables, so their mentality would change greatly, and they would have serious imbalances in their hearts. They obviously tried their best to arrest criminals, but what they received in the end was not honor, promotion and salary increase, but discrimination from the entire country. They worked hard and were discriminated against by their own efforts. So why should they work hard? Work hard and not be promoted or raised, so why are they working hard?

However, these constellations have some small rights in them, which can be used to obtain some benefits at any time, which is the so-called power rent-seeking. On the one hand, there is discrimination from the people and hard work, and there is no future or benefit. However, on the other hand, they can use their rights to exchange for some benefits. Everyone knows how to choose. If Jing Wen put his heart to the position of those constables, I am afraid that this would be the same. This is a system problem of the entire country, but this distorted system makes these minor officials have no enthusiasm to serve the people of the country. The constables Jing Wen encountered are actually just a microcosm, representing that almost the entire Tang Dynasty was like this.
