"This captain, we represent the court. What happened today is that this person peed everywhere and littered the ground. Does the captain know how difficult it is to deal with these unruly people? They are just like the Tatars in the past, always doing random things. We deal with them on behalf of the imperial court because it is the power given to us by the imperial court"
Although the official knew that something was wrong, he still had to toughen up when faced with Yu Xiang's questioning. If he softened now, he would lose a lot of face.
"You are wearing such a big watch." Yu Xiang couldn't help but sneered.
He learned this sentence from his father, and it was so ironic that the official snorted and took it to heart. If there is really going to be a dispute, this sarcastic remark will be a crime against the other party.
"This school guard, please don't hinder us from doing things. If you want to plead for this person, please just say so."
"What I want to ask now is your authorization to beat and arrest people. I will not plead for anyone."
During the stalemate between the two sides, a sharp whistle came from the distance, the crowd immediately dispersed, and then a patrol team appeared.
"What's going on?" The patrol saw the official and greeted him: "Old Duan, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, this officer wants to interfere with our official duties."
"I just want to know when the city jail was authorized to beat and arrest people." Yu Xiang said.
"Also, why do they dare to bully women in public?" Ren Shuhua said regardless of her shyness at this time.
Yu Xiang never mentioned Fang Zhongshou touching her breasts. This was because of her reputation, but Ren Shuhua stood up on her own. Although she didn't know the officer's identity, she didn't want him to face the patrol alone.
The people around him all started talking, and the patrol officer smiled bitterly and pulled Yu Xiang aside.
"Brother, you are young, you haven't been in the army for a long time, right?"
"It's been three years since I joined the army."
"Brother, I retired from the military three years ago, and then I worked as a patrol officer in Shanghai, in charge of fifteen or sixteen hairy peopleBrother, you should forget about this matter today, right?"
Yu Xiang narrowed his eyes: "Why forget it?"
"It's not easy. When you see him beating this vegetable seller, you just feel pity for the vegetable seller, but you don't know that there must be something hateful about this pitiful person." When the patrol captain said this, Yu Xiang's face was still blank. With an expression on his face, he said with a smile: "Look at why the people around you don't speak much, because they all know that vegetable sellers are not good people. This group of people ignore the ready-made markets and block people's doorways, making the people It¡¯s inconvenient to get in and out, even"
"Brother, I know that the vegetable seller may not be a good person. When something happens, he hides behind a little girl and lets the little girl come forward without saying a word. How can he be a good person?" Yu Xiang looked at it. The vegetable vendor who was smiling sarcastically next to him glanced at him and then turned to look at the sullen city supervisor: "But I just thought that when dealing with this vegetable vendor, he should be punished and punished. If someone needs to be arrested, it should be carried out by you, brother, on patrol. Why do they dare to beat her? Why do they dare to bully a little girl? In this way, what is the difference between them and the subordinate officials of the previous dynasty? "
Speaking of this, Yu Xiang added in a deep voice: "They think they represent the court, they think they represent power. I remember Jin once warned us when we were in the military academy, the guns in our hands and the power in our bodies, It's all given to us by the people. If we think that we are this power, then one day the people will take it away, and then we will be nothing. Brother, you should have heard this sentence?"
That patrol was a bit embarrassing. Of course he had heard this sentence before, but in the past few years after he retired, no one had mentioned it to him for a long time.
Even if someone mentions it, I'm afraid it will be regarded as a clich¨¦. It is a fantasy to rely on consciousness to maintain high political ethics. Yu Guozhen is still groping for how to solve this problem. As for Yu Xiang, he has no idea at this time.
He just vaguely felt that the things that supported the Chinese system in the early days of the army seemed to be increasingly showing deficiencies and needed to be changed.
"That's right. I'll ask the head of the city jail to scold his subordinates." The patrol captain thought for a moment. After all, they all came from the army, so they felt somewhat close to each other: "Brother, what are you doing to me? Brother, I want to save face and calm things down, so as not to make things difficult for everyone."
If it were Yu Guozhen, maybe the matter would be settled, but Yu Xiang didn't want to let him go. After all, he was young and energetic, so he laughed: "Brother, it's not that I don't give you face, but this girl is the sister of my brother. , and this brother just saved my life on the battlefield. If I can't say this for her, I won't"If this beast who dares to extend his claws to her lose his hand, I will no longer be worthy of being the company commander of the Chinese Army." "
When the words came to this point, the patrol captain was also very embarrassed. He scratched his head and said: "In that case, there is only one way. You all can follow me to the public security station. It's official business, okay?"
When he said this, his tone had already cooled down. Since Yu Xiang didn't give him face, he didn't have to worry too much. After all, the city supervisor surnamed Duan and him were both on the same land, and both of them bowed their heads and disappeared. The friendship we met arose a lot, including drinking and watching movies together.
¡°If business is done with business, let¡¯s do business with business.
"Yu Xiang didn't understand the reason behind this, so he nodded without hesitation.
The vegetable seller was quietly sneaking into the crowd at this time. He had more troubles with people than Yu Xiang. Seeing that Yu Xiang's status did not restrain these people, he knew it was not good and wanted to get away on his own. Unexpectedly, the patrol captain saw him at a glance and whistled. The two patrolmen immediately pounced on him, one on the left and one on the right.
"Let me go, I didn't do anything bad, why do you want to arrest me?" The vegetable seller shouted: "You are bullying people, you are bullying the people!"
"Look, brother, this guy is such a slacker. Evil people must be punished by evil people." The patrol captain patted Yu Xiang on the shoulder, saying meaningfully.
Yu Xiang did not respond.
¡°Evil people do need to be punished by evil people, but it shouldn¡¯t be done in this way. Yu Xiang was raised by Yu Guozhen since he was a child. Yu Guozhen attached great importance to his education, so he instilled in him more than once that if you want to make everything fair, you must use systems to stipulate procedures and methods, and use laws to regulate systems and methods. The regulations are finalized.
The vegetable seller needs to be punished, but what the city supervisor did is neither in line with the system nor in compliance with the law, so it is wrong. Wrong is wrong, even if the fault lies with bad people, it is still wrong.
What Yu Xiang didn't expect was that soon after entering the security station, the vegetable seller admitted his mistake to the city supervisor and admitted that his behavior was illegal. At the same time, he denied that the city supervisor had beaten him, and the city supervisor also told Yu Xiang Apologize, just say that the person who grabbed Ren Shuhua was a temporary member, not an official member of the team.
Yu Xiang was dumbfounded by the twists and turns of things. He was not stupid. This was clearly the result of "mediation" in the middle of the patrol. The vegetable vendor must have been under some kind of pressure and had to do this, and the city supervisor easily introduced a "temporary staff" to offset the amount. If Yu Xiang insisted on pursuing the case, they would probably fire the "temporary staff" at the worst.
"Company commander, don't be angry. I think after this time, those city supervisors will act more carefully."
After leaving the security station, Ren Xu said a little uneasily when he saw that Yu Xiang remained silent.
"I just feel that something is wrong, and if there is a mistake, it should be investigated. Why does this kind of thing still happen when a new dynasty has been established As far as I know, this kind of thing is deeply abhorred. The people below are so Bold"
¡°Now that I¡¯m more aware of everything, I can¡¯t possibly care about these small things.¡±
"But if these are not taken care of, public resentment accumulates, and this trend spreads. One day, the Huaxia Dynasty will meet with the Ming Dynasty"
"Hush, company commander, don't say this!"
Ren Xu grabbed him and stared at him for a while: "Company Commander, we are soldiers. Soldiers should not think too much. If you have to think about things, then just think about how to win the war!"
This was Yu Guozhen's request for the army. Yu Xiang smiled. Other soldiers could only think about how to win the war, but he couldn't. This huge country would eventually be handed over to him. He asked himself whether he was talented or not. Even his courage is far inferior to that of his father. Even his father can't take care of this. Can hecan he take care of it?
"Ah, I forgot to introduce you. This is my sister. Her maiden name is Shuhua. Sister, this is the company commander I often mention in my letters. Her surname is Fang and her given name is Xiang."
Yu Xiang nodded to Ren Shuhua in salute. Yu Shuhua's pink cheeks were slightly red and she was blessed: "Company Commander Fang, I owe you for taking care of my brother."
"Ren Xu saved my life on the battlefield, little sister, please don't be polite to me." Yu Xiang said casually.
He was born in a big family, and when he met girls of a similar age, he would call her sister or sister, so when he called Ren Shuhua, he casually called her "little sister." Ren Shuhua's face turned even redder, and she secretly murmured in her heart that her brother's company commander seemed a bit frivolous. How could he call someone else's girl the first time he met her?
Yu Xiang didn¡¯t know that she had left a frivolous impression on this girl, and she was still thinking about what she had encountered today. Thinking about it later, he felt that there was obviously no way to solve this matter relying on his own wisdom alone.
Maybe you should ask your father.
At Ren Xu¡¯s houseXiang Xiang didn't stay too long. He made an appointment with Ren Xu to see him the day after tomorrow, and then he left and returned to Yu Guozhen's palace.
This palace, known as the "Huaxia Palace", is currently just an open space on the west side of Shanghai City. Its area is far smaller than that of the Forbidden City in Yanjing and Jinling. Style - Yu Guozhen is not considered simple anyway.
"This matter I also heard some related news." Yu Guozhen heard his son talk about today's incident, and patted his shoulder with great relief: "You didn't find anyone to solve this matter. That's right. Relying on a wise emperor or an upright official to solve problems can solve the problem in one place at a time. Can it solve similar problems in the world?"
Yu Xiang nodded slightly.
"I have an idea to solve this problem, and I was inspired by something. Last year, in the performance evaluation of counties in Guangdong Province, a county magistrate named Chen Taizhong had mediocre results. The people under his rule were very dissatisfied with this. I felt that although the county magistrate acted a little informally, he was a good official who cared about the people, so I went to Guangzhou Prefecture to file a complaint, saying that the performance appraisal system was unfair and suspected of fraud. I sent someone to check and found that there was no evidence of fraud in the performance appraisal system. Fraud, but in terms of the system, it really only pays attention to whether it satisfies the boss, but there is no project that satisfies the people. This is not as good as the previous dynasty, which had a Wanmin Umbrella or something like that as a facade. I was thinking, this performance appraisal system , is it to hand over some power to the people? For example, let the people with citizenship have the right to vote on the performance evaluation of officials just like we vote at a joint meeting. During the annual performance evaluation, the performance evaluation score above is just a basic score , then it is decided by the people. If all the people are satisfied, then the official's basic score can be multiplied by another hundred percent. If only 60% of the people are satisfied, then the official's basic score can only be multiplied by a hundred percent. ¡¡±
"Isn't this a waste of time and money?"
"It will hurt the finances, but it will not necessarily hurt the people. So I have been thinking recently about how to control this matter in the system, and then formulate it through the Official Performance Appraisal Law. Pro-democracy officials in such a place must control their subordinates. People, try to avoid things like what you encountered today."
The father and son talked for a long time, but before they finished, they heard Fang Ziyi's complaining voice: "Jimin, Xiang'er just came back, and you pulled him to say something without letting him rest! Xiang'er! Son, you didn¡¯t come to see my mother when you came back, you are really heartless!¡±
As soon as she started nagging, Yu Guozhen and his son looked at each other and raised their hands in surrender. Yu Guozhen waved Yu Xiang to follow his mother and leave. He was thinking about how to implement the system in which the people decide official performance appraisals through referendum.
