Chapter 172
Zhao Bing went to the dock to see the farewell mission and went to Qiongzhou. In fact, he was so bored that he wanted to come out and take a look. After the fleet left, he ordered people to go to Haikou Pu to see the progress of the project. At this time, the water village had already begun to take shape. The foundation of a square city with a circumference of 1,300 steps had been laid. The embankment was built with stones in the direction of the sea. This degree was also fast in the absence of machinery in ancient times. Then he went to several places to check the construction of the camp and granaries, but the more he looked, the ugly his face became. After returning home, he immediately called the Zhu Sinao who was at home for a meeting.
"Your Highness, now all the troops have been working hard to participate in the construction of the city defense. They are working day and night, and the pace cannot be improved." Zhao Mengjin has been accompanying His Highness to inspect. Seeing that he had a bad face, he thought he was thinking that his work was not effective, which led to a slow progress, so he quickly explained.
"I am not talking about you." Zhao Bing waved his hand and turned to Pan Fang and Zhao Yuluo and said, "Deputy Envoy Pan, Zhao Magistrate, have you deducted the money and food you need to build camps and cities?"
"Your Highness, the money and food are all in full, and they are released on time, and there is no shortage!" Zhao Yuluo was confused about why His Highness asked this, but he still answered honestly.
"Since that's the case, why are there soldiers from various soldiers working on the construction site? It's hard to see the civil servants who are recruited by the government to participate in engineering construction, and the transportation of materials was called corvee service. In modern times, volunteer work is done. The state does not pay wages and only subsidizes food expenses. But today he has seen that there are very few civil servants who are serving, which can only be said to be that officials are not doing their jobs well.
"Your Highness, after receiving the order, his subordinates have issued official documents to the prefectures and counties under Qiongzhou according to the labor required by various places and the number of household registration." Pan Fangxian explained that their Transport Department is only responsible for making plans, but the implementation depends on the local government.
"Your Highness is not that your subordinates do not do their best, but that it is really difficult to deal with!" Zhao Yuluo then understood why your noble was unhappy. It turned out that he was at his own place, so he quickly stood up and said.
"Oh, what's the difficulty? Strengthening coastal defense is the top priority at present, and there should be no slackness. If it is reasonable, I will not pursue it. If I can't explain the reason, don't blame me for turning against me!" Zhao Bing said solemnly. However, he saw that Zhao and Luo were obviously darker than before, thinner, and had two dark circles of eyes. Obviously, they were not idle either. After being soft, they decided to give him a chance to explain.
"Your Highness, I believe your highness is very familiar with the current situation in Qiongzhou. The officials of various counties under the rule of the subordinates have only been replaced, and many clerks have remained in office. These people... Alas, what do you think!" Zhao Yuluo sighed and said, "The people in the village are not active in applying for the recruitment. They cannot refuse for various reasons. Even if they come, they often flee on the way, which makes it difficult to reach the number of recruiting civilians."
"What you mean is that the subordinates are not doing well, and the people are very resistant to recruitment, which makes the task difficult to complete?" Zhao Bing asked back. Zhao and Luo nodded to show that it was exactly this. "Since the use is not effective, why not replace it, why not explain if there is resistance, and why not punish those who take the lead in causing trouble?"
"What Your Highness said is that the lower officials have repeatedly urged him, but a century of chronic illness is difficult to achieve overnight. The lower officials can only say that they have tried their best!" Zhao Yuluo shook his head helplessly and bowed to salute.
"You... do you really think that I am young and can't take the killing knife?" Seeing Zhao and Luo put on an attitude of doing nothing, I can do whatever you want, and slapped Zhao Bing's seven orifices and slapped the table.
"Your Highness calms down. This matter cannot be entirely blamed by the Prime Minister Zhao. He has been running around these days and frequently urging various counties to urge him. But he is unable to do so!" Pan Fang was furious and persuaded him quickly. But he knew that your Highness was not weak at all, and how many people he killed in Guangzhou?
"Your Highness, the two greats said it is not that they don't want to do their jobs well, but the place is not as good as the court. Each department and department only needs a document to explain to the prefectures and counties when you have something to do. The things are complicated and complicated, and there are forced orders. Although there are differences between different places, they are difficult to resist and need help. Once the clerks are not doing their jobs properly, the government orders will be blocked and difficult to implement." Ying Jieyan took over and said.
"The clerks are mostly responsible for the situation. They have no salary and have to complete the affairs they only assigned. If they are not good at doing things, they will often be punished and even lose their money. Therefore, not everyone is willing to take responsibility. Some other evil officials collect taxes and handle lawsuits. They take the opportunity to extort the people, causing public resentment and conflict, making it difficult to implement government orders."
"Oh, I understand. This matter cannot be blamed entirely on the Prime Minister Zhao. I offended many of my words, so please forgive me!" Zhao Bing stood up and politely to Zhao and Luo.
After hearing Yingjieyan's words, Zhao Bing felt ashamed. As the saying goes, "A thousand lines above and a needle below." He was a grassroots company in his previous life. He had to suppress everything from learning the spirit of the government, cleaning, and even participating in various social activities. Of course, they were all voluntary labor. These departments themselves can't afford to mess with, but the production tasks still have to be completed. People's energy is limited in the end, and they have to rely on the work leader and team leader below to complete it.
Although these basic team leaders are not even considered cadres, they deal with workers directly. When they encounter good tempers, strong work ability, and good mass base, they can barely cooperate. Everyone is happy. If the production task is heavy, the team leaders under them are not capable, and there are a few more thorns among the workers who face you and go on strike, then even if they are finished, they will not be criticized, and they will have all the bonuses. But you cannot punish everyone, otherwise you will have to give up and you will not even have a man in the sub-subs.
But now I am the leader. If you have something, just ask for instructions and don’t worry about specific matters. I forgot the crime I suffered before. I don’t ask about the process and only ask the result. I always want to kill and catch it. As expected, I responded to the words that decided to decide the head. However, Zhao Bing was still quick to react and could correct his mistakes. I realized that he had made a bureaucratic mistake and apologized immediately.
"The subordinates dare not do anything, they are all because of the poor work, which makes your highness embarrassed!" This was the first time Zhao Yuluo met Shangguan who admitted his mistake to his subordinates, and this person was still a noble prince, so he dared not bear it. He hurriedly returned the courtesy.
