Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3231 Officials

 Nowadays, the elite troops of the Hussars are basically completely professional.

From generals to soldiers, everyone has a suit of armor. Not only that, some people even have a second set of armor, which belongs to the guard camp directly under the hussar, and there are also big killers like armored cavalry...

Just having swords, guns and armor is nothing. The key is that the baggage of these troops is not bad.

In this era, the Hussars were a heavily armored, elite field and quick-reaction force. They were not easily mobilized, but once they were mobilized, it was simply earth-shattering.

 Under such circumstances, the people within the three auxiliaries in Guanzhong were full of envy, jealousy and hatred towards the hussars.

Envy is for ordinary people. After all, if you can join the army and become a member of the elite, many benefits will naturally follow. For the powerless people, it is undoubtedly the best promotion channel.

Jealousy is an ordinary offshoot of the noble family, a down-and-out child. These people have some abilities, but they may not be able to let go of their bodies and crawl around with those mud-legged people they looked down upon before, but they can't help but be jealous...

 Hate it, that’s even simpler.

 But the problem now is that ordinary people cannot speak, do not understand how to speak, and do not know how to speak.

 Speaking naturally requires skill.

Same meaning but different speaking skills, the effect is completely different.

Wife and children are on the hot bed, which sounds tacky, but when it comes to love and family, it becomes more noble.

 The same is true for the Hundred Medical Clinic.

It was originally a very simple matter, but unfortunately ordinary people couldn't express themselves and could only cry and howl to vent their emotions. As a result, others seized the right to speak and led them all the way to the ditch.

 Human blood steamed buns are not only found in later generations.

Is eating steamed buns with human blood a bad thing?

 Don't ask about the origin of human blood, and don't care about the truth. As long as it is brought to your mouth, you will swallow it whole.

Taicang Ying from Baiyijian is a female doctor. Even though she is engaged in the medical profession, she is still a young and cool person. Her love for beauty is normal, and she is willing to spend more time to tidy herself up, neatly and gracefully. elegant.

 Is this a problem?

 But in the mouths of some people with ulterior motives, it becomes a problem.

 ‘You don’t know...that Taicang doctor from Baiyi Medical Center is so beautifully dressed! 』

　　"How pitiful the casualties among the frontline soldiers are..."

　　　　　They can also braid their hair, which is very skillful. 』

　　『Those are all great boys...how young they are...』

　　　Hey! What's wrong? She is indeed beautiful! What's wrong? Are you not allowed to tell the truth anymore? 』

“It’s a good thing to die, but it’s painful to live without death!” 』

“Other doctors are covered in blood at all times, and it stinks... Doctor Taicang is different..."

　　　『Why do you think she still has red decals? 』

 ‘She is indeed different, she is very clean! 』

 ‘She is very calm, so many people have died. 』

　　　That means dressing up carefully. 』

　　　　It's pitiful, if...I mean if, if those young men had better luck, could they have survived? 』

　　"I also like to see this Taicang doctor. If it weren't for the fact that so many soldiers have died in the past few days, I would like to see her again..."

　　　　It’s better if the person dies, then she can feel more relaxed, right? 』

　　　『Hey, don’t tell me, Doctor Taicang knows how to maintain good health. His posture and body shape are so good! 』

　　　That behavior is really interesting! 』

Honest words can bring out the evil in people's hearts.

 The evil of human nature and the good of human nature are two sides of the same coin and cannot exist independently.

Although some people intentionally guide, there are also some who claim to be smart and have seen through the truth, and some people just follow at a loss and follow what others say. There are also some more terrifying people who like to stand in a high position and give advice to others.

 Storms are inexplicable. They suddenly arise out of thin air and develop rapidly.

 …

 …

"Oh no! 』

A flustered little official rushed into Jing Zhaoyin's official residence.

"What's up? How can you behave in such a panic? 』

 An old official on duty in the official residence frowned and shouted in a low voice.

“No…” the clerk gasped, “No…well, in this market, suddenly many people are talking about the Taicang doctor from Baiyi Medical Center! 』

　　　　Discussion? ” The old official’s eyes wandered, “Why are you meddling in this business? Have all the writings been archived? Or have all the warehouse accounts been checked? You are free..."

"no! ” The clerk jumped, “Someone is coming!” It is said that Jing Zhaoyin is in charge of these things, and he must clearly discuss the rights and wrongs! 』

The old official's hand shook and he almost knocked over the ink, "What?" We can't control this! 』

　　　　Then...what should we do if those people really come? ” asked the clerk.

The old official couldn't help but sweat broke out on his head, "Let me think about it... I have it!" You go to the Inspection Office... No, you don't go there. If those people come, you say that this matter is handled by the Wen Department, the Inspection Office, and Dali Temple! It's none of our business! 』

"ah? 』

 ‘Oh shit! ” The old official shouted, “This thing is a trap, whoever the **** jumps in will die!” Anyway, I can’t control it, so whoever you love can control it! 』

The old official didn't know what he thought of. He trembled and whispered: "This wind... is evil..."

"ah? ” The clerk was confused.

 ‘Oh shit! I know it every day! roll! 』

 …

 …

 Inspection office.

 Xing Yong handed over a letter in his hand.

The inspection chief sitting in the hall stared at Xing Yong for a moment and whispered: "Are you going to arrest someone?" 』

Xing Yong raised his hands and said, "Exactly." 』

　　　REASON. 』

Xing Yong lowered his head and said, "In ancient times, there was a doctor named Bian Que. When King Wen of Wei asked him, he said..."

 The chief in the hall interrupted Xing Yong and said, "Speak in human terms." 』

 ‘There is too much foam on the noodle soup,’ Xing Yong said.

“You also know that those who are taking the lead now are all fools. ” The chief in the hall knocked on the table, “Do you understand? Fool. Arresting people now is just a way to stop the boiling water. 』

Xing Yong cupped his hands and said, "Someone always has to be a fool... Besides, even if we have to drain the pot, we still have to see clearly what is in the soup... How can we see clearly without skimming the froth?" 』

 ‘Well…’ The inspector of the inspection department pondered for a moment, and then said, ‘Have you thought about it clearly? If you don’t do this well, you’ll end up with a fishy smell..."

　　　『My subordinates have thought it through. ”Xing Yong confirmed again.

　　　That’s okay. 』The chief of the inspection department took the token, issued the order, and had someone give it to Xing Yong.

Xing Yong took it with both hands, bowed once more, and then withdrew.

 …

 …

　　　Officials must have authority.

 An official who has no power is just a piece of shit.

This "power" is the power of law enforcement.

Like Webster, an official who has lost his authority...

To get rid of this fart-like environment, Webster must seize some "power".

 The right to speak is also a kind of "right". After all, most ordinary people don't know how to "speak" and are used to silence.

  Or to be represented.

Wei Duan knew very well that if he jumped out and directly confronted Fei Qian, he would definitely be dead. However, if he changed his words and made a gimmick, he might still be able to take advantage of the "opposition party".

For example, speak for the people and bring salt to the people.

 Be anxious about the people's worries, think about the people's thoughts, and express the people's unspeakable needs.

 Isn’t that very high-level?

 So, what do the people desire most?

  If it was in the previous few years, it would definitely be food and clothing. Before the basic needs of eating and clothing are met, everything is worth mentioning. Even if it is mentioned, no one will pay attention to it.

 But in recent years, after basically solving the food and clothing problems of the people in Sanfu, Guanzhong, the people have some higher needs.

This need is transformed into the desire to obtain more military exploits, obtain more wealth, that is, a higher social status. It is also reflected in his enthusiasm to join the army and expand farming while being more willing to participate in social events...

This psychological effect is also called empathy or compensation psychology.

  The people of Sanfu in Guanzhong experienced hardships. Many of their families were broken up and displaced. Only after they came to Sanfu in Chang'an did they regroup and form new families.

These people who have suffered and suffered have the strongest sympathy and the least contempt for others suffering.

 Wei Duan noticed this change and was ready to take advantage of it.

 What ordinary people long for most is fairness, because they cannot get it at all.

 The more there is no fairness, the more people naturally desire fairness.

 Some people eat meat when they are born, and some people can only eat dirt when they are old. Is it fair? Some people work hard and end up getting sick and their days become more and more miserable. Some people eat, drink and have fun and live a happy life, spending more and more money. Is this fair?

Even if they know that they will not get the so-called fairness, they will be indignant and will express a few words of solidarity when they see the injustice suffered by others. Of course, they were still scolding the petty officials, not Fei Qian, just like they were scolding the local officials back then, but not the emperor.

 The news about the Hundred Medical Clinic also spread quickly among the small officials in Chang'an.

Most of the original staff system of the Han Dynasty in Guanzhong had been destroyed during the period of Dong Zhuo and Li Guo. Most of the current staff of the three assistants in Guanzhong were established after Fei sneaked into the main state of Guanzhong. Among these people are old people. , there are also new people, there are old traditions that have been officials as early as the Huan Ling period, and there are also new forces who have passed the scientific examination from poor families.

 Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

 All kinds of weird problems will inevitably arise between the old and the new. Just like when someone makes trouble in the Hundred Medical Center, the old and new staff naturally have different attitudes.

 This is not surprising.

 Contradictions in everything in the world will always exist and will never disappear.

Whether it is the Hundred Medical Clinic, the Qiao Workshop, the Inspection Office, the Hearing Department, etc., they all represent a brand new institutional system and are also important channels for promotion for these ordinary people from poor families.

 In the previous Han Dynasty system, if one wanted to become an official, the most important thing was not talent, but connections.

For example, if there is a father in the Dahan system who is in charge of the inn, then even if his son is a waste, he can still make a living in the inn department and post on WeChat Moments every day instead of doing actual work. If there is an uncle in the Ministry of Industry in the Dahan system, If he holds an important position, then his nephew will naturally become a water conservancy and bricks expert, and then move towards a glorious career. If it weren't for a loudmouth who deceives his father and a tyrant who deceives his uncle, perhaps ordinary people would never know how much personal transactions were carried out in places they can't see.

Therefore, for the current Guanzhong Sanfu, old and new officials, what the old people feel every day is that they are squeezed by the newly rising officials. Naturally, what they are most concerned about is how to keep their official positions. At the same time, for those who The new clerk, even if he didn't say it with his mouth, felt a certain resentment in his heart that he had been robbed of cheese.

Webster knows this complicated mood very well, because that’s how Webster’s cheese was robbed...

Now Webster doesn't dare to go directly to get the cheese because he thinks it's too risky, but he just stands outside the plate to show that he still has the ability to carry salt, so he can still test it out.

Hundred Medical Clinic is the best place to test, because the emotional fluctuations here are the greatest.

People are often more rational when they are calm, but when their emotions fluctuate greatly, not everyone can maintain a rational attitude.

 Strictly speaking, medical riots occurred not once or twice in Baiyi Clinic. There had been several fights before.

Now there are additional guards at the door, but it is still difficult to completely eliminate people's emotional excitement.

 Because no one knows exactly when the patients inside will suddenly deteriorate or die...

 This matter is unavoidable.

 After all, no matter who he is, as long as he is a normal person, he will not want to see his relatives die.

 Sadness, pain, helplessness.

 In the face of death, human power is so insignificant.

Although the Hundred Medical Center is large, it is still pitifully small compared to the entire number of people in Sanfu, Chang'an. There are not enough wards and doctors. In addition, due to the tense war, a group of doctors have been transferred to Tongguan. The doctors who stay in the Hundred Medical Center have to work almost non-stop every day. It is inevitable to be exhausted, so they treat some patients naturally. It is impossible to be as thoughtful and meticulous as usual, and it is difficult to avoid some oversights.

Especially if we treat more ordinary people, we will not have much time to treat the children of the gentry.

 Conflicts are unavoidable, and when they accumulate to a certain extent, they break out under the intense emotional fluctuations of life, separation, and death...

 According to Webster's understanding, after a problem occurs, if the problem itself cannot be solved, many officials will subconsciously solve the problem.

 The shortage of medical facilities in Baiyi Medical Center is something that the officials can solve?

 So, what can the officials solve?

 What are the customary practices of officials?

 Everything seems to be within Webster's expectations.

 Things are getting bigger and bigger...

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　It is done! Ha ha! ” Wei Kang couldn’t help but dance a little, “It’s making trouble! The inspection office was dispatched and started arresting people! Many people were arrested! Ha ha ha ha! Now everything will be fine if not serious! 』

"Shut up! ” Wei Duan shouted in a deep voice, then stretched his head and looked left and right.

Wei Kang came to his senses, coughed a few times, and then sat down, "Father...the inspection office is out, arresting everywhere...just on Zhuque Street alone, they arrested a dozen of them!" This is great..."

 ‘They really took action...’ Wei Duan asked, ‘Who is leading the team? 』

"I heard it's Xing Zi'ang... the Hejian guy from high school some time ago..." Wei Kang said with some disdain, "What a brainless guy... If he is caught, even if he is right, he is wrong...mostly." I am anxious to get promoted, so I just ignore it..."

Wei Duan pondered, "Are your hands and tail clean?" 』

Wei Kang nodded and whispered: "Father, don't worry...this time it will be foolproof!" I arrived at Zhuangzi outside the city first... and then I asked people... There are many eyes and ears in the city, but outside the city... Now I heard that Si Dali Temple has no leader, even if you take a step back, even if you wait for Kan Derun to come back, it will be too late Okay... We act impartially and plead for the people, but what can they do? 』

What Weicome said is indeed true.

 This time, he was really, really careful.

Even in later generations when there were cameras and monitors, there were still a lot of areas in rural villages that were completely unmonitored, not to mention that in the current era of the Han Dynasty, as soon as you leave the city, you are basically out of sight.

Sima Yi, the minister of Dali Temple, is currently in Hedong and is said to be fighting well.

Sizhi Kanze of the Wen Department heard that after Pang Tong and Wei Yan had a falling out some time ago, he was sent to Mobei with a stick...

  The Inspection Office has now transferred most of them to join the supplementary ranks and serve as grassroots officers and instructors.

 So, it looks like there's no better time than now for the opportunity.

This is also an important reason why Webster dared to take risks. He was afraid that after passing this village, there would really be no such store.

Wei Duan glanced at Wei Kang and nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved in his heart.

Wei Duan is getting older, and Wei Kang will inherit the family business and everything else. Now Wei Kang is much calmer, knowing that there are some things that should not be said, and some things that should be done in hiding, unlike before where he always did it. Who is my dad...

Wei Duan thought about everything again, and then whispered: "We still have to be more cautious... Remember, this time, we must be "impartial," "fair and equitable," and "please for the people." Only in this way can we Foolproof! 』

Only the guise of justice can cover the face of evil.

 Wei Kang nodded seriously.

The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile, as if they saw the bright future ahead of them.

 That's right, Webster has no real power now, but he is planning some imaginary power, such as authority similar to the "Uncrowned King", which is similar to the public experts of later generations.

This thing is really not new to later generations, its logic comes from Mencius.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a group of people who had been working hard to control public opinion and then make profits for themselves. Most of the time, these people have always relied on scolding the court to control the right to speak. They have been doing this for thousands of years.

 The Han people called these people Qingliu.

 Social conscience?

The public intellectuals of later generations simply changed the name of King Faxian to Fayangren...

Hundred Medical Clinic is just the introduction, and making things bigger is what Webster needs.

After the incident becomes big, Webster can put on a layer of "reconciliation". On the left, he talks about the difficulties of Baiyi Medical Center, and on the right, he talks about the people's opinions. As long as the matter gets bigger and bigger, it will become more and more chaotic. , and when the situation becomes chaotic, people will instinctively start to buy more food and other living materials to reserve...

This is not a "problem" unique to the Chinese people, but the sorrow of the exploited at all times and in all countries. For proletarians who do not have any means of production and living, money is obviously the least valuable thing, but all they have is money. Therefore, once there is any disturbance, ordinary people are more inclined to snap up daily necessities.

Therefore, Webster can not only sell old grain, but also win the uncrowned crown of talker, and then covet the cheese on the plate, which is simply beautiful.

Wei Duan exhaled a long breath, "Just like that, the wind is coming..."
