In the next few days, Jingwen played with several beauties, and it didn't seem to be affected by the headcatcher. However, because the identity has been revealed, the local officials in Xianyang asked people to protect Jingwen, because Jingwen has a princess by their side, and if something happens to the princess, then they will all be in bad luck. Therefore, they all sent people to follow, saying that they wanted to protect the princess, so that everyone could play with peace of mind. But everyone doesn't seem to be used to having outsiders follow, so they don't play much. After two or three days, everyone went back.

And Jingwen returned to the so-called political research room and found the leaders of several political research rooms who were born as small officials.

"Gao Ming, you are the leader of the official department, you should know the mentality of ordinary grassroots officials best, you say that those grassroots officials have the so-called middle obstruction, and then pass the buck. What should have been done in a day, if you don't give them some benefits, they won't do it for you at all? Or is there something that can be done to delay you for a few days? Jingwen asked.

Gao Ming was a little sluggish, because this situation is often experienced by low-level officials. The low-level officials are very afraid of taking responsibility, and they are very unenthusiastic about many things. He is also a low-level official, of course, he knows the mentality of low-level officials, that is, they all want to use the little power in their hands and then use it to generate income. And they are not very greedy, that is, they just get some money to subsidize their families. However, the anti-corruption board of the imperial court could not hit them, because the imperial court investigated and dealt with corrupt officials at the level of "officials", but officials were rarely investigated and punished. And these small officials are small and small in terms of power, but big and big, because they have the power to implement all the policies of a county, and this executive power can be said to have great interests.

Jingwen saw Gao Ming's attitude, and he understood the facts. The low-level officials have this phenomenon. And this phenomenon also existed in later generations, and there are many of them. These phenomena are mainly some officials at the level of section chiefs, who use the executive power in their hands to demand cards from some people. And he is very unenthusiastic about the affairs of the government's official affairs, and he will pass the buck if he can pass the buck for official affairs, and he is not enthusiastic about sharing worries for the court and serving the people. This phenomenon is a situation called the section chief phenomenon, which mainly occurs in officials at the section chief level.

But a few days ago, Jingwen saw this situation, as if those ordinary arresters have this phenomenon, and they are not keen on arresting criminals. It seems that they are not enthusiastic about criminals, because these things seem to have nothing to do with them. These catchers are all young, how can they be so devoid of enthusiasm and passion for work, this is worth thinking about.

Originally, the section chief should have appeared in those older section chiefs now, and it was difficult for them to be promoted, and they had no future, so they had the idea of messing around. And they want to use their rights to give themselves some extra small benefits, and these benefits are borne by the subordinates and ordinary people. So. In this way, it becomes a burden to the people. Don't do what you should do, and do what you shouldn't do so-so and secretly, so that you can generate income for yourself. This should be the case with older people, but now it is actually happening to some ordinary young catchers. This is very surprising. At a young age, he didn't fight for the future and actually contracted this bad habit. This is still in Xianyang County, Jingzhao Mansion, Chang'an, if it is in another place, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. I'm afraid it's even stricter.

Jingwen knows the role of these little officials. These grassroots officials, in fact, don't look at them as having little effect. Not much power. However, they represent the image of the government, and the government in the eyes of the people is actually determined by the behavior of the petty officials. If these petty officials can fulfill their responsibilities, then I am afraid that the people will have a good impression of the government. However, if these petty officials are all ignorant and ignore the idea of eating together, or if they are trying hard to make money, then the people will be very dissatisfied with the government. Later generations are not saying that the door is difficult to enter, things are difficult to do, and the face is ugly, in fact, these are the situations of grassroots civil servants. However, many people scolded the whole government with one mouth, and ordinary people did not think that this was the business of ordinary officials, but that this was the case of the whole government. Although this is inevitably a partial generalization, it also shows the impact of these petty officials on the image of the government. And if they are not enthusiastic about doing things, when will the country's policies be implemented?

Hearing Jingwen's statement, Gao Ming also said it rarely.

"My lord, it's actually normal for you to do this. Originally, when I was down there, those fast catchers were just messing around, and there were few who were enthusiastic about catching criminals. In the rules of the Tang Dynasty, they all belong to the untouchables, and many officials are untouchables. Moreover, they have been servants for generations, and they have been untouchables for generations! Moreover, it is still possible for other scribes to be promoted, but they can never be promoted, because they are untouchables. Gao Ming said.

Jingwen also understood, it turned out that these officials were untouchables, no wonder they were not enthusiastic! If the official is used as a metaphor for the future generations, it is the police of the later generations. However, it is hard to imagine that the police in ancient times had the status of pariahs, but they had to be discriminated against by others. If the servants are untouchables, then their mentality will change greatly, and they will have a strict imbalance in their hearts. I was obviously trying my best to catch criminals, but in the end, what I got in exchange was not honor, not a promotion and a salary increase, but discrimination by the whole country. If they work their own, they are discriminated against, so why should they work hard? Hard work can't get a promotion, can't get a raise, so why do they work hard!

However, these fast catchers have some small rights in them, which can be used to obtain some benefits at any time, which is the so-called power rent-seeking. On the one hand, there is discrimination from the people's state, and there is no future and no benefit from hard work, but on the other hand, they can use their rights in exchange for some benefits, and everyone knows how to choose. If Jingwen sat in those positions where he caught fast, I am afraid he would think the same way. This is the problem of the whole country's system, but this distorted system makes these petty officials have no enthusiasm to serve the people of the country. And the catchers that Jingwen encountered were actually just a microcosm, representing that almost the entire Tang Dynasty was like this. (To be continued......)
