It snowed again in Ningzhou.

This year's weather is really abnormal, according to the Municipal Meteorological Observatory, the snow can be seen in the 11th lunar month, dating back to 27 years ago, and in the 11th lunar month there were two snows in a row, which has never been heard of in the history of Ningzhou.

The snow in the sky, like the feather of the **** angel, between heaven and earth, there is only snow white, and nothing else.

The snow huā has thousands of forms, crystal clear, like a warrior on a journey, wearing silver armor, and like a piece of white sail sailing away.

What a lot of snow, mountains, rivers, trees, houses, all covered with a thick layer of snow, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, into a world of pink makeup, the willow trees with all their leaves, hung with fluffy and shiny silver stripes, and those evergreen pine and cypress trees in winter and summer, hung with fluffy and heavy snowballs.

The snow on the street was more than a foot deep, and people stepped on it, creaking under their feet, and groups of children were building snowmen and throwing snowballs in the snow, and the joyful shouts were about to shake the snow off the branches.

Chang Ning took Fang Hongjun and Liu Beilun and stopped in the snow-covered fields.

After the snow, the continuous white snow decorates the world, Qiong branches and leaves, pink and y bricks, Hao Ran a s, it is really a gratifying scene of Ruixue harvest year.

The thicker the "quilt" is covered in winter, the better the wheat will grow in the Ming chun, and the folk proverb says well: the wheat is covered with three layers of quilts in winter, and the next year sleeps with steamed buns.

On the ridge not far away, there was an old farmer squatting, his weather-beaten face was covered with deep wrinkles, his two small eyes were a little cloudy, his hands were the size of a small thin fan, each finger was so thick that it seemed that it could not be bent, his skin was wrinkled, a little like the bark of a tree, he was smoking a cigarette, and one was pulling something in the snow.

Chang Ning walked over and squatted beside the old man, "Uncle, after this snow, next year's wheat will definitely be harvested, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

The old man glanced at Chang Ning, "In layman's terms, this snow came a month early, if you want a bumper harvest, dream of it." ”

"Hey, uncle, what do you say, don't you all say that Ruixue is a good year?" No mistakes, no word skipping.

Chang Ning sat on the snow, saluting the old man and asking for advice humbly.

"Now is the time when the seed is about to sprout, and if this snow turns into water, don't let the seed rot, if a month later, the seed has already germinated, and the seedlings are just beginning to grow, and then the snow will be a good harvest snow."

"Oh my God, I got it wrong." Chang Ning muttered.

"You...... You're Mayor Chang. The old man recognized Chang Ning.

Chang Ning nodded, "Hey, uncle, you recognize me." "Xin said that he rarely appeared in the media, how could he be recognized by a rural old man.

The old man pointed to Fang Hongjun and Liu Beilun who were standing not far away, and said with a smile: "You leaders pay attention to order, I know Mayor Liu, he is a person who can walk in front of him, Secretary Ding is the NV, and the man must be your mayor." ”

"Uncle, you're amazing." Chang Ning gave a heartfelt thumbs up.

The old man smiled smugly, stood up, patted the snow on his body, and walked away.

Looking at the old man's distant back, Chang Ning remembered that he forgot to ask the old man's name.

Seeing the snow in winter, Chang Ning thought of the rotation of the seasons, year after year, cycle after cycle, in fact, people's feelings are not like this, chun days looking for and seeking, finally found the place where the peach huā blooms, before I had time to appreciate enough, summer came, so, the feelings entered the peak season, in full swing, love you to death, in the blink of an eye, autumn came again, the fruit was ripe, but the feelings also with the ripening of the fruit, slowly into the winter, the branches and leaves withered, indifferent, Until the death of nature......

"Lao Fang, what have you been reading lately?" Chang Ning sat in the snow, looked at Fang Hongjun and asked.

Fang Hongjun said with a smile: "I said Mayor Changda, you and Lao Liu pulled me into this ice and snow together, and you don't really want to talk about it." ”

"Hey, who made you the director of the study committee of the municipal party committee compound?" Chang Ning smiled evilly and squeezed his eyes at Liu Beilun, "Old Liu, did you say it?" ”

Liu Beilun echoed: "Yes, everyone is saying that if you don't study for three days, you are ashamed to see Secretary Fang, we can't be advanced, but we can't be too backward." ”

"Is it hurting me?" Fang Hongjun also sat down, "Speaking of reading, I have recently learned a lot of principles from the ancients about being an official. ”

Chang Ning said: "You don't care about anything else, just say it in the vernacular." ”

Fang Hongjun grabbed a handful of snow, rubbed it with both hands, and said slowly:

Yu Wentai, is the founder of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, at the beginning of the year, he also imitated Cao Co, as the prime minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty and coerced the princes of the Son of Heaven, met a person named Su Sui, this Su Sui is a great character, in history, he is as famous as Zhuge Liang and Wang Meng.

It is said that Yuwentai asked Su Sui for the way to govern the country, and the two of them locked up MN and talked secretly for three days and three nights.

H Yuwentai asked: How does Ying Guan manage a country well?

Su replied: Rely on the vast number of officials. ”

Yu Wentai asked: How to rely on the majority of officials?

Su replied: Use corrupt officials, anti-corrupt officials. ”

Yu Wentai asked puzzled: Why use corrupt officials?

Su Sui replied: If you want to make others work for you, you must give people benefits, and you don't have so much money to give them, then give him power, let him use the power in his hands to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, won't he get benefits?

Yu Wentai asked: Corrupt officials have benefited from the power I have given, and what benefits will they bring me?

Su Sui replied: Corrupt officials can get benefits because of the power you give, so in order to keep their own benefits, they must maintain your power, then, isn't your rule firm, you must know that everyone wants to sit on the emperor, if there are no corrupt officials to maintain your power, then how can you consolidate your rule?

Yu Wentai suddenly realized, and then asked puzzledly: Then since you use corrupt officials, why do you still have to fight against corrupt officials?

If you want to use corrupt officials, you must fight against corrupt officials, and only in this way can we deceive the broad masses of the people and consolidate political power.

When Yuwentai heard this, he was puzzled and said excitedly: Aiqing, tell me the mystery.

Su Sui replied: There are two advantages to this, one of which is that there is no official in the world who is not greedy? The official is not afraid of greed, what he is afraid of is that he does not listen to you, in the name of anti-corruption officials, eliminate the corrupt officials who do not listen to you, and retain the corrupt officials who listen to you, so that you can eliminate dissidents, consolidate your power, and get the people's support for you, second, as long as the official is greedy for ink, his handle will fall into your hands, he dares to betray you, you will kill him under the pretext of greedy ink, and the corrupt official is afraid that you will destroy him, so he can only obediently listen to you, so, ' If you don't use corrupt officials, you will lose the magic weapon of anti-corruption officials, so how can you control officials? If everyone is a clean official, deeply supported by the people, he is disobedient, you have no excuse to get rid of him, even if you force it out, it will attract public sentiment, all in all, you must use corrupt officials, you can clean up the bureaucracy, make it a clean person who supports you, if the court is full of honest officials, of course the people are happy, but as a ruler, it is more dangerous.

Yuwentai asked: Why?

Su replied: Qing officials are honest and honest, and they will definitely be disloyal and speak out about their strengths, in what name does Your Majesty remove them from their posts? Don't clean officials, the people are unhappy, if they are unhappy, they will have resentment, and if the people are resentful, the country will be in danger, so clean officials cannot be used, and it is better to use clean officials than corrupt officials, they must be used, and they must not be reused.

.tiex Yuwentai asks: What else?

Su Sui asked rhetorically: What should you do if you use corrupt officials to provoke public resentment?

Yuwentai was shocked, but he didn't expect this, so he asked: What is the best way to get rid of this trouble?

Su Hui replied: Raise the banner of anti-corruption, increase propaganda, prove that you care about the people, let the people mistakenly think that you are good, and the bad ones are those officials, put the responsibility on them, do not let the people think that you are the culprit of appointing corrupt officials, you must let the people think that you are good, there are so many problems in society, it is not that you don't want to do a good job, but that the officials below do not implement your policies well.

Yu Wentai asked: What about some officials who have too much public dissatisfaction?

Su Sui replied: Kill him, avenge the people, and put the money he looted into your pocket, so that you can live up to the name of looting the people's wealth, and get the benefits of the people's wealth, in short, use corrupt officials to cultivate dead parties, eliminate corrupt officials to eliminate dissidents, kill corrupt officials to buy people's hearts, and not be greedy for money to enrich the treasury, this is the high art of playing power.

……

After a long time, Chang Ning said leisurely: "The ancients are really talented, what Su Sui said is still useful." ”

"Yes, history is often strikingly similar." Fang Hongjun said with a smile.

Chang Ning shook his head, "It's not similar, but history is constantly being copied." ”

Fang Hongjun nodded in agreement, "Two, it's time to get down to business." He knew that Chang Ning must have something to look for him.

After all, they are just friends, just collaborators, and they can't have the heart of harming others, and they can't do without the heart of guarding against others, especially for Chang Ning, who is good at playing NNG power, Fang Hongjun feels that it is not only necessary to hide but not secretly keep a hand, play the ball modestly and cautiously, and discount it when resolutely carrying out orders.

Chang Ning smiled softly.

Sometimes, people have to believe in the power of fate, it turns over into clouds, covers hands for rain, can easily write a magical script that makes the world sigh for a lifetime, as the so-called God is destined, belongs to you, will always come back, of course, the strong are strong, is the eternal truth.

Pulling Fang Hongjun into the water and becoming a supporting role in this drama is Chang Ning's established policy.

The strong take all, Fang Hongjun should not refuse, because he is powerless to refuse.
