"Troubled times," said Dong Wencong.

Fang Yun said, "do you remember the punishment of the punishment hall?"

"Remember, you fought against the punishment hall for the people's daily. The punishment hall punished you to go to an ancient place to open up territory and expand land for the human race before becoming a great Confucian. In addition, the rest of the punishment was insignificant. Could it be..." Dong Wencong looked at Fang Yun in surprise.

"Yan Ningshan, the leader of the Yan family, sent me a letter saying that the change of the ten cold ancient land is likely to be a precursor to the birth and death of the ancient land. As you know, the ten cold ancient land will change every 300 years. The ancient land will be destroyed and reborn, which is called the birth and death of the ten cold. When the ten cold ancient land is born and died, the ten cold ancient land will compete for the king of the ten cold again and obtain the great power of the ice emperor. The Yan family wants me to go to the ten cold ancient land and be a man The clan strives for a king of the ten colds. You don't need to rank too high, as long as you can compete for the tenth colds. "

Dong Wencong was surprised and said, "the Yan family has controlled the ninth cold king for so long that they are not sure about the next generation of the ten cold king?"

Fang Yun's eyes flashed a different color and said: "The Yan family originally had two candidates for great scholars, both of whom were great scholars. However, in order to suppress the realm of the ten cold monarchs for many years, they always stayed at the peak of great scholars. With these two people, the Yan family would have been infallible. However... In recent years, the Wenqu stars have changed constantly, so that both of them can not restrain the traction of the great power of Taoism and have been promoted to great scholars. The Yan family originally placed their hopes on Yan Yukong But now the ancient land changes will be born and died in a short time. There is not so much time for Yan Yukong to grow. "

"The Yan family can find... No, the Yan family really can't find the semi Saint family. The semi Saint family is not strong enough, or it is not close to the Yan family. The Yan family is a sub Saint family, and it's hard to find the rest of the sub Saint family. It seems that the Yan family can only find you or the Kong family now." Dong Wencong said.

Fang Yun shook his head gently and said, "you don't know. The Kong family has family rules and doesn't compete with the Yasheng family for the Shihan ancient land. You can work there, but you can't compete for the Shihan king. It can even be said that the Kong family doesn't care which family of the human family is the Shihan king, just need one."

Dong Wencong said: "That officer understands that the Yan family knows it's difficult to win the king of the ten colds again, but they also have great power and secrets, so they want to find a partner. You have the strength to compete for the king of the ten colds, but you don't control the power and details of a cold city. Moreover, your reputation has always been good and you haven't committed crimes. As long as you negotiate with you, you will certainly perform it. The key is that you and Yan Yu Kong has a very deep friendship. "

"That's almost what I mean." Fang Yun said.

"I don't know much about the birth and death of ancient land, but I also heard that it takes a long time, at least a few months or even a year. If you're not in Xiangzhou, who will preside over the overall situation?" Dong Wencong worried.

"So before I leave, I want to stabilize Xiangzhou and eliminate all unstable factors," Fang Yun said.

"Then your first step is..." Dong Wencong asked tentatively.

"Clean up the administration of officials." Fang Yun said.

Dong Wencong nodded and said, "no wonder you arrested all Xiangzhou Qing officials at the Yueyang Tower cultural meeting. In this way, the administration of officials will be half completed. But... Those who travel a hundred miles will be half 90. I'm afraid it will be difficult next."

"Also right, also wrong." Fang Yun said.

Dong Wencong immediately said respectfully, "please make it clear."

"It is very difficult to clean up officials, but as long as we solve a few problems, it will be a smooth road. First, we have enough power without checks and balances by opponents. I do not lack this. More than half of the previous dynasties' Zafu clean up officials are because they do not have enough power, and even make jokes about government orders and cabinet."

Dong Wencong nodded gently. The left minister appeared in Jingguo 100 years ago. After leaving the cabinet, no one obeyed. Although there are various reasons, it also shows that the left minister is not suitable for governing the country.

Fang Yun continued: "The second point is to cut off the stakeholders. It can be said that 90% of the Tsai Fu finally failed to complete their own political reform or reform because they were unable to cut off their own interests. Imagine how a Tsai Fu could act quickly if his ass was not clean? How could he convince the public if he had too much selfish desires, such as colluding with some senior officials and having other intentions? So most of the reforms, Finally, it became a party struggle and strife. "

"What your excellency said is right." Dong Wencong said.

"The third point is the control over the lower level officials. The loss of control over the lower level officials by the head of a country can be seen everywhere in history. Even if the power is big, if the officials who can't really contact with the people can't be controlled, the elimination of official governance is only empty talk. In addition, there are many factors, such as opportunity, internal and external troubles, and the specific means of official governance, Such as popular support, etc. "

Dong Wencong said: "After the Yueyang Tower cultural conference, your popularity in Xiangzhou has... Say a big disrespectful word, which has surpassed the king of a country, so your power is no problem. You come from other places and have nothing to do with the local forces in Xiangzhou. Moreover, you are a human race. Even if you have your own selfishness, it will not affect the rectification of officials. What you lack is the control of lower officials."

Fang Yun sighed and said, "since ancient times, no one has been able to fully control the lower officials, even when the saints are officials. All I can do is try my best."

Dong Wencong looked at Fang Yun and said with a smile, "then the servant will be relieved."

After the book case, Fang Yun put the brush on the pen holder and smiled at Dong Wencong.

Dong Wencong explained: "You were the first magistrate of the human race in ancient times. You don't have to be modest. Even when Confucius was the governor of Zhongdu, he was far inferior to you, let alone others. With this proud resume, I thought you would think that you can control it easily in Xiangzhou as well as in Ning'an County after you were promoted to the governor of the two prefectures. And you don't have blind arrogance , I not only realized the importance of lower officials, but also knew that no one could solve this eternal problem. It was bound to become a qualified governor, so I was relieved. "

"What should I do when I meet a subordinate like you who thinks the superior is incompetent?" Fang yunban joked.

Dong Wencong said positively, "you can't surpass the North Sea with Mount Tai. It's easy for you to surpass the North Sea with a grain of dust, but if you surpass the North Sea with all the dust in Xiangzhou, you can't do the same thing as surpassing the North Sea with Mount Tai. You know that the difficult administration of officials means that you won't be eaten back by the bottom officials, and the lower officials must try their best to help."

Fang Yun nodded gently and said, "the first step to clean up the administration of officials is to start with the corruption most hated by the people. I want you, together with the legal department and the criminal department, to collect the corruption evidence of Qing officials with more than seven grades as soon as possible and publish it to the public one after another without making any mistakes. You may be able to do it?"

"Please don't worry, sir. I'll go all out. If things don't work, I'll see you!" Dong Wencong looked determined and looked divine.

"Very good, remember to report the details every day." Fang Yun was very satisfied with Dong Wencong's attitude. It was obvious that Dong Wencong knew how important the first step in the rectification of officials was.
