In the blink of an eye, Yan Shannong has been in Xingang for six years. Now he is eighty-four years old, but he can still cook. His body is really strong. Obviously, he is not yet ready to report to the Lord of Hell
This is normal. All the lunatics of the Taizhou School have great vitality. As long as they don¡¯t seek death, living eighty or ninety years is just like playing. But there is no one who doesn¡¯t want to die
Seeing Yan Shannong preparing for more dishes, Zhao Hao stopped him with a smile and said, "No, we brought wine and food when we came."
"This matter has caused such a fuss. I have long wanted to treat Mr. Xiaoge to a meal, but I dare not say thank you for my kindness" The old man took Zhao Hao's hand and apologized unceasingly.
Those who have received dictatorship education are different and have a particularly correct attitude.
"Hey, Mr. Shannong is too polite. If you do this again, I won't dare to come to your door again." Zhao Hao laughed.
While the two were chatting, Zhao Shizhen and Hu Shizhong set up a round table under the loofah stand and placed the cooked food and braised food they bought along the way. There are also two dishes and one soup prepared by the old man - stir-fried loofah with garlic, stir-fried beans, and egg and seaweed soup.
The old man originally planned to eat cucumber mixed with garlic, but the taste was too strong, so he ate cucumber instead.
With another show of humility, Zhao Hao took the seat of honor, accompanied by Farmer Yan Shan, and the others took their seats in turn.
There is no need to mention polite things like saying thank you and toasting. After three rounds of drinking, the guests and hosts started to talk nonsense in a drunken atmosphere.
Zhao Haochao likes to chat with people who are engaged in liberal arts, especially now that Wang Zheng has been pestering him every day to ask questions about mathematics, physics and chemistry, which makes him nervous, for fear that he will answer something wrong and make his children laugh.
It¡¯s very relaxing to be with Master and Disciple He Xinyin. We talk about philosophy and social transformation. No matter how random you are, there is no correct answer anyway you can still get rid of it if you talk about it.
While the conversation was getting heated, a guard came in and reported softly that the local mayor wanted to see Mr. Liang for something.
"I'll go." Hu Shizhong, who was waiting on the side, ran out and came back after a while and said with a smile, "It's nothing, just Chief Wang saw so many people coming to our house and asked about the situation."
"The young man is quite responsible." Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction.
Li is the group¡¯s name for urban blocks, and it is also the lowest-level administrative unit, on the same level as rural production teams. But the director is not responsible for arranging production and cannot be held responsible. Therefore, the number of households under the jurisdiction of a li leader is greater than that of a production team leader. Usually, there are about three to five hundred households in one li.
Like ¡®city¡¯, ¡®li¡¯ is also new wine in old bottles, and was given a different connotation by Zhao Hao.
Traditionally, the head of a li was selected by officials from among the people with outstanding reputation and ability. They were the link between the government and the people. They were also responsible for managing the people in the li for the court, maintaining law and order in the li, reporting public opinion in a timely manner, etc. .
Because feudal dynasties generally could not afford a large team of civil servants, they had to generally adopt a small government model. Local officials do not have enough administrative teams to complete various tasks assigned by superiors. They can only kick the ball downwards, and the tasks of the district chief are becoming increasingly heavy.
The li leader has no salary and no subordinates, so of course he can catch everything by himself. So we can only rely on the power of the clan. The leaders of the clan, the gentry and big landowners, were also willing to take on such responsibilities. Because the greater the responsibility, the greater the power.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away. However, the village chiefs and the clans behind them, the gentry and big landowners have not moved from generation to generation. It is clear who the people will listen to.
Over time, a model was formed in which the imperial power did not extend to counties and rural local autonomy was established. In fact, not just in rural areas, the government's governance of cities cannot go down to the lowest level. They still have to rely on local snakes with the village chief as their spokesperson to control the people.
At first, someone suggested that Zhao Hao implement the Lijia system in the eighteen administrative districts, but he flatly rejected it. After all, this system of autonomy has been in operation for thousands of years and can basically maintain local stability while saving a lot of administrative resources.
But Zhao Hao doesn¡¯t think this is a good idea. In his view, the district chief is a cadre who deals directly with the people and is related to the group's image in the minds of every family. It is also the executor of the group's decision-making at the grassroots level, which is directly related to the strength of the group's execution ability.
How can such an important cadre allow the common people to recommend amateur players? No salary is given yet
It must be done by professionals! And they must be selected according to the standards of administrative officers!
Therefore, the district chiefs and production captains of the eighteen administrative districts are all serious group management employees, designated as administrative level 11, formal section-level cadres.
¡°And the district chief is not just a commander, there are also deputy district chiefs and three to five clerks below. These few people are responsible for the affairs management, daily security, dispute resolution, troubleshooting, household registration, health inspections, and health inspections for three to five hundred households with thousands of people.Complete various tasks assigned by superiors. After a few years, as long as you are not exhausted, you will be able to take on more difficult jobs

Mentioning Zhao Hao's reform of the district chief system, Yan Shannong was full of admiration and said: "Xiaoge Lao Xiaoge's move to send the district chief is a stroke of genius! It seems that he has spent more on salary and office money, but he has gained hundreds of times more. s return."
"This is not a new method. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Li Zheng was given a formal official position and two subordinates were appointed. However, it was of no use." Zhao Hao smiled modestly:
"The main reason why we can do well overseas is that there are no scholars among the immigrants, and they are consciously dispersed. If you ask me to do this in the mainland, I'm afraid I have to equip the commander with troops to make it work."
"Clan squire" He Xinyin said vaguely as he gnawed on the cucumber. The utopian experiment he conducted back then, the Gathering Hall, was a demonstration of the power of the clan gentry. With such a powerful local snake, the airborne commander really has to rely on the army to stand
"Xiao Ge is too modest." Yan Shannong drank some wine and gradually showed his true colors. "The cause is not important, what is important is the result - your group's organizational control over the people is really admirable. Even the Qin State after Shang Jun's reform could not compare to your group."
"Hahaha, Mr. Shannong is getting more and more ridiculous the more he talks about it." Zhao Hao laughed loudly and said: "We are just an ordinary business, at most we are larger in scale. How can we compare it with the country? We are so different from each other. And"
"Has there been a business like your group throughout the ages?" Yan Shannong said with a joking smile as he put tobacco into the pot. "Have your own territory, army and officials, make your own laws, collect taxes, and declare war with other countries. Make an agreement.¡±
"Uh" Zhao Hao was speechless for a moment, then said: "It should be possible."
"If he had not appeared, the Dutch East India Company, established fifteen years later, would have been able to mint currency, make treaties with foreign countries, launch wars, and establish colonies. In just a few decades it grew into the richest company in the world in history. It has 150 merchant ships, 40 warships, 50,000 employees and 10,000 private armed forces, as well as most of Southeast Asia.
As for the British East India Company, let alone it. Compared with it, the Jiangnan Group is still a younger brother
It¡¯s just that these two companies haven¡¯t been established yet, and as long as Zhao Hao doesn¡¯t vacate the ecological niche, there will probably be no chance of them being established.
??Actually, what he wants to say is the Hanseatic League founded in 1344 AD. They have a supreme parliament and a supreme court, and cities joining the alliance must abide by the decisions of the alliance's authorities. Each city has public finance and navy, and has the right to conduct diplomacy, declare war, negotiate peace, and conclude treaties with foreign countries. It has monopolized European North Sea trade for more than 200 years.
¡°However, the Hanseatic League was too lax in its organization. It had neither a constitution nor a written system and executive agency. It had strong financial resources and prestige, but it could not be transformed into combat effectiveness. After the rise of sovereign European countries, life has become increasingly difficult, and we are on the road to the end. Zhao Hao was too embarrassed to talk about them, and they were just enough to serve as negative teaching materials.
"You've done it all, are you still afraid of others telling you? We've been living under your rule for seven years!" He Xinyin said coldly while gnawing cucumbers: "If you keep your eyes open and tell lies, we won't have to talk. ¡±
"Yes, we don't say it, but some people will." Yan Shannong asked his disciple to light up the cigarette, took two puffs and said: "Actually, whether it is called a country, a group, or some gang, it all has a certain purpose. , It¡¯s a gang established with a certain purpose and according to a certain organization. Is there anything that can¡¯t be compared?¡±
"Doesn't your group pay special attention to the organizational strength?" He Xinyin, who had received Zhao Hao's permission and had conducted an in-depth inspection of the group, naturally had a clear view and said: "We are not comparing anything else, just the organizational strength. We say that your group's organizational strength is already stronger than Qin, is there a problem?"
"If it can't compare to our ancestors two thousand years ago, then there's really a problem." Zhao Hao said lightly.
"Oh, hahaha!" Master and disciple He Xinyin also laughed, and Yan Shannong praised: "Okay, who else but me! This is the magnanimity that the head of Jiangnan Group should have!"
He sighed and said sincerely: "I don't mean to offend Mr. Xiao Ge by saying this. I really don't dare to say thank you for the great kindness, so I can only give you some unfavorable advice. Please don't blame me, Mr. Xiao Ge."
"Mr. Shannong, please speak, I can listen." Zhao Hao nodded lightly.
¡°It¡¯s true that the Jiangnan Group is booming, but it looks like flowers are blooming and fire is cooking oil, but in fact-¡± Yan Shannong said with a strong voice:
"The most dangerous time has come!"
Zhao Hao was silent when he heard the words, and after a while he asked in a low voice: "Why did the old gentleman say this?"
"Do you still need to ask? Jiangnan Group is too big now. It's like an elephant in the yard. It can't be hidden!" Yan Shannong said solemnly: "A lot of people in the house have actually seen it, and the owner of the house has also seen it. It¡¯s not like he knows nothing, it¡¯s just that he can¡¯t make the decision yet, so he just pretends not to know.¡±
"But time is on the side of young people. The arbitrary old butler will eventually grow old, and the young master will always get his power back." After a pause, he said quietly in a scary tone:
"And he has waited too long and is extremely anxious. Once that day comes, he will definitely take revenge crazily! By then, the old butler is no longer here, and who should he direct his full resentment at?" (Remember this book) Website address: www.hlnovel.com)The elephant in the house cannot be hidden!
