Taoists advocate that the ruler and the people will be incompetent and that the people will naturally govern. In fact, people always have to have a goal to achieve success. Many times, it is because the world is peaceful, so people are lazy, which ultimately leads to the tragedy that the soldiers cannot fight and the people cannot support them.

After the destruction of the Eastern Barbarians, Zhang Xianzhong occupied a corner of Yunnan, and the destruction was only a matter of time. Zhu Cilang really couldn't help the huge and bloated Ming Empire to start a new round of war.

It just so happened that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to go out for a walk, but finally had an inspiring banner.

Wang Chen was originally a student. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, he was released from the East Palace servant's room outside the magistrate, moved to the Yanzhou magistrate in the 18th year, and promoted to Shandong to participate in politics in the 21st year. As for his background, the promotion speed was not fast, but it was quite rare to only revolve in Shandong Province. This also made him feel deeper and more familiar with the people of Shandong.

Emperor Nanxing must have passed through Shandong. From north to south, there are 15 stations in total and Mount Tai. It is the key province of Nanxing this time. After the Shandong Provincial Administration and the General Secretary discussed, Wang Chen was the road to welcome the chariot, and was specifically responsible for the issue of waiting for the prefectures and counties along the way. Everyone had to listen to Wang Chen's mobilization on this issue.

This is also a signal in the officialdom. As long as Wang Chen welcomes the emperor safely and then sends him away safely, the next Shandong governor will be his.

Wang Chen was wearing casual clothes and took two scholars to a restaurant. The station here had been packaged out, and the boss did take care of the place very cleanly. He asked for three meats, vegetables and soup, which made the scholar stunned.

"It's okay, I know how to make money myself, so as not to make trouble for the people in the mills." Wang Chen explained, and first picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

When the two clerks saw the emperor treating him, they were not polite, and they threw their cheeks away and feasted.

It's really hard along the way.

Wang Chen was eating when the gate of the inn was pushed open. Two workers covered in dirt appeared at the door and looked inside.

"Why are you here? Oh, how do you get such a big soil?" the owner of the inn called.

"We're here to urge some food." The older man said kindly.

"Second son! Why haven't the food been delivered to someone? Hurry up! I'm more skillful! I'm tired all morning!" The boss shouted inward.

A young man who looked like a monk came out of the kitchen behind. His hair was only an inch long and he was thick. He was holding a large bucket of water in his hand, filled with vegetable soup. He was afraid that it would be thirty or fifty pounds, but it was as if nothing was left to him. He said in a gutter: "I'm not idle either. I'll send it here, it's not a short time to do so."

The two workers responded repeatedly and retreated.

The boss came forward to educate the guy: "It would be nice to hire people in Shandong now. Don't be slow to treat them."

Wang Chen almost squirted his subordinates' faces. It was obvious that you were the one who didn't let others come in just now!

"Uncle San, I'm not happy to do this." The young man looked resentful: "Why do I have to look at people's faces? I've also been admitted to the martial arts lecture hall!"

"Hey, it's too late to go there two years later. Let's deal with the Southern Tour of the Holy Chariot first. Look, our inn is only more than ten miles away from both stations. Even if the Lord Wansui doesn't pass by our door, just those who come to see Lord Wansui have to swell our shop! Now, can it be done without repairing the house, building a horse shed, and hiring people?" The boss softly comforted his nephew, with a look of pain and happiness on his face.

Not to mention that Long Sui Ye is coming, even before he comes, his net worth has doubled several times. Many big families want to change his official post to a garden. Maybe it can become an palace!

"The shopkeeper and the waiter, come and talk." Wang Chen put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and raised his hands.

The boss glanced at the guest who didn't look like a business trip and stepped forward and said, "Customer, what are the instructions?" The stout young man also followed and did not speak.

"Since there is not enough manpower, why not recruit more people?" Wang Chen asked.

After the equal land rights of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the land contradictions were alleviated, and large-scale land annexation would not occur in a short period of time. However, the agricultural civilization's persistence in land is difficult to give up. In the future, there will definitely be situations where the rich are connected to the fields and the poor are not in a place to stand.

The best way is to encourage farmers to switch to business.

Scholars, peasants, industry and commerce will move from the second class to the third class, and the fourth class will definitely have psychological resistance. However, the labor intensity of labor and commerce is not as strong as that of farmers, but the income is higher than that of farmers. Many people are willing to change careers under such real benefits, but they lack access and capital.

These concepts have been written in the policy manual for a long time, but some officials are afraid of insufficient food. Some officials think that this is putting the cart before the horse and unwilling to do it. Therefore, the speed of industrial transformation is very slow, far from the speed expected by the crown prince.

Wang Chen is a few officials who are willing to be a man who is willing to be, but the effect is not good. At this moment, after hearing what the boss said about the labor shortage, he first thought of finding labor from the land.

"This guest official doesn't know anything." The boss said with a frown: "We are all small business deals here, and what we fear most is to attract people who are not irrelevant. If we don't have the guarantee of reliable people, we will never dare to use it."

Wang Chen knew that apprentices in general stores would have to be brought by their relatives. From a small perspective, he said that it was to prevent apprentices from stealing things and running away. To the big perspective, he said that it was to be afraid that spies who were bandits would sneak in and attract bandits. This has been like this since ancient times and has been common.

"What kind of guarantee is usually required?" Wang Chen asked: "In addition to relatives and old friends."

Apart from that, no one can trust.

The boss choked.

"Can the government guarantee be guaranteed?" Wang Chen said: "If the servants are recommended to you by the government offices of various prefectures and counties, do you dare to use it?"

The boss was a little hesitant and guessed about the identity of the guest. And if he was not wrong, he was probably the direct descendant of the crown prince, and he liked to wear casual clothes to examine the people's conditions the most.

Although these Eastern Palace officials are easy to talk and willing to do practical things, this matter is indeed a bit troublesome. Let’s not talk about how the government can identify whether the servants are reliable. If there are really thieves who are involved in it, if there is a change at that time, will the government really compensate?

"Official," the boss bowed, "If there is something wrong with the servant, the government will not be able to take care of it, right?"

Wang Chen’s focus is on “reliability”. Hearing this, he knew that he was indeed deviant from the boss. People who have been in the mall for a long time are inherently suspicious, and they pay more attention to the controllability of risks.

Wang Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Please!"

Both clerks were confused: How to deal with this?

Let’s not talk about whether there will be any mistakes when identifying servants, and letting the bad guys sneak in, even if there is no problem during the identification, I may not be able to have bad intentions in the future.

"But I haven't thought about how to manage it yet." Wang Chen said openly: "Shopkeeper, sit down and talk about it carefully. If you unfortunately hire a thief, you will lose."

The store owner was no longer afraid of seeing this. From worrying that his hands and feet were not clean, he stole the things in the store, and to the fact that he had joined forces with the evil people to find money and ruin his life, he said it all. The stout nephew behind him disapproved of it and muttered: "How many evil people in the world are there?"

The boss ignored him and just said to Wang Chen: "Don't talk about the world, these things have been like this since ancient times. My inn is outside the city, without high walls and barriers, so you have to be careful. Master, what do you think?"

Wang Chen nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Let me go back and think about this matter, and it will definitely not be left unavailable to you."

The store owner was also very happy and said, "If you really get the favor of the master and solve the problem of the store, it would be great."

"You're welcome." Wang Chen waved his hand: "Let's know the money."

"This meal is considered a filial piety in the small shop." The shopkeeper said hurriedly.

Wang Chen was too lazy to say that, and took out the broken silver and slapped it on the table. He didn't want to lose his career because of a meal. People say that the officials under the Eastern Palace are the best, and the officials are honest, which is almost amazing... Those who say these words must have never been to Liaodong, where there are many corrupt officials exiled.

And the most headache is that the Censorate’s fishing law enforcement is really inhumane. Some officials just received gifts due to mercy, and did not report it for a while, and directly "both stolen goods were captured". After several blood letters were handed over, they finally began to investigate the crime of bribery, which did not weaken the Censorate’s “passion for handling cases.”

What a bunch of mad dogs!

Wang Chen thought of his career as a frank one, and he could not help but feel frustrated. Although his authority was still there, he was suppressed by the Ministry of Personnel and stared at him like a thief by the Crown Prince. Unfortunately, under the rule of the crown prince, it was a bit dangerous for high-ranking officials to become rich.

——What if you go into business yourself?

Wang Chen shook his head and dispelled this unrealistic thought. At the moment, we must first solve the labor shortage in Shandong. This labor shortage is not something that no one does, but that there is no reliable person capable of it.

How to solve this problem?

...

Wang Chen finally wrote this question into a manuscript and posted it in "Shandong Newsletter". The only way he could think of was to encourage local gentry and those with constant property to form labor service companies, gather villagers and provide services. But this call is just empty. In this society where there is no profit and no early rise, how many gentry will turn to business because of this?

——How did it be solved during the Tang and Song dynasties? Yes, at that time, there were good household registrations and bad households, and good families were always trustworthy. What should I do if my household registration in the Ming Dynasty was not divided into good and bad?

Wang Chen was really worried about this and his hair turned white.

...

"It takes so much effort to do this kind of thing? You still come to the newspaper for advice?" Liao Xing sat at the table, eating honey and cheese, and put "Shandong Newsletter" aside disdainfully.

As the governor of Zhejiang, Wu Yi was both unwilling to accept the emperor Nanxun’s failure to come to Zhejiang. Although he had no political achievements to win, he was at least under pressure from the province.

"But we also have this problem in Zhejiang, how should we solve it?" Wu Yi already attached great importance to Liao Xing and just waited for Liao Xing to be a member of the Ministry of Personnel to appoint him as Zhejiang to participate in politics.

"Solving the problem is nothing more than dilution and blocking." Liao Xing said: "When it is not diluted, just block it first?"

"block?"

"Increase the police force." Liao Xing said as if nothing had happened.
