The backyard of the yamen in the corps office was set up and the banquet was set up early. When Wang Xiaoli and Chen Qiudao came in, everyone saluted.

Wang Xiaolei said: "Because of the family slave, Senator Chen was implicated and suspended for three months. Today's term expires. We are colleagues for many years and have specially held a banquet to welcome Senator Chen. Many things have to be heard from the Senator."

Chen Qiudao bowed and felt ashamed.

Everyone sat down and cheered and drank. After three rounds of wine, Wang Xiaoli said to Chen Qiu: "Senator, thank you for your hard work in these three months. It's not that I have any opinions about you, but that the rules are like this, and you must abide by it."

The two of them drank a glass of wine. Chen Qiudao said, "I have figured it out in the past three months and know what Jieshuai means. Once the rules are set, if we cannot abide by them, then these rules will inevitably be full of holes. After a long time, I am afraid that I will not be able to see them. It is a good thing to stop my post for three months, which makes me understand how to become an official. For some things, officials should try to avoid."

Wang Xiaoli nodded: "Since you are an official, you must know what kind of official you are. If there is no official in the world and you cannot afford to support your family by relying solely on your salary, you will be an official and you will be honest as water. The so-called state of affairs means officialdom, and if the state of affairs does not have the morality, you will be hidden. At this time, scholars should be honest and do other things and support their families. Instead of being an official, being greedy and greedy, and saying that the world is like this, it is not your own fault. If the official has a generous salary and good treatment, then you should be this official. Not only to be an official, but also to be a good official."

Chen Yuyi said: "Jie Shuai said that. Therefore, officials only distinguish between honest and corrupt officials, but they are not clearly honest but are forced to be corrupt. If this is the case in the world, you can choose not to be an official. There are many things that can be done in the world, and it is not only an official to support your family."

Wang Xiaoli nodded: "Yes, that's the truth. I hope that those who are officials can have easy work, good income and high salaries, so that outstanding talents will be willing to do it. Instead of being officials with low salary and many things, they can only try their best to make money for themselves. The power is in the hands of officials. If their income is not high, they will find ways to do it themselves. Officials only want to make money for themselves, and the world will be in chaos. They want to give less money to officials, they will be greedy, they will find ways to do it themselves, and they can do things. "

Everyone nodded and understood the meaning of Tianxiao hunting.

We have been together for three years and gradually learned about Wang Xiaolie’s character. In general, Wang Xiaolie is generous to others and will not treat his subordinates with extreme strict discipline, and the same requirements for the opponents are also strict.

In fact, Wang Xiaolio has a bad temper, is impatient, and is prone to impulsive when doing things, but can only control it. He thinks twice before doing anything, and never takes risks. Even if he wants to do something very much, he can suppress it as long as the time is inappropriate. Over the years, his temperament has really improved a lot. Even in the eyes of some people, he is a good person.

When Wang Xiaolie strictly enforced discipline and suspended Chen Qiudao, everyone remembered how could Wang Xiaolie be a good man? He took hundreds of town soldiers and seized the opportunity to become a force. This was not something that the good man did.

Chen Qiudao's suspension is a real suspension. Not only are he locked up in a prison-like place, but he is also strictly prohibited from contacting official business. Sometimes, Wang Xiaoliu really wants to hear Chen Qiudao's opinions, and he can only restrain himself. If the suspension is not like the suspension and he still handles official business, isn't this rule in vain?

So today, Wang Xiaolie was particularly happy when Chen Qiudao came back. In three months, Wang Xiaolie worked part-time in civil affairs, which was really too tiring.

After drinking a glass of wine, Wang Xiaolei said: "The Master said that he would do whatever he wants at 70 and not break the rules. I hope that the officials can do the same. There is no need to think about what he cannot do, what will happen if he does that, and what he will work hard. Instead, he will do what he should do naturally, and he will not violate the rules even if he does it. Being an official can be relaxed and free, and he can also abide by the rules."

The rest of the people couldn't help but smile. Wang Xiaolie's words sounded very good, but in fact they were just talking. The officials have too much power and there are too many opportunities to monetize them. How many people can resist it?

Wang Xiaoliu said: "When Confucius was Confucius, there was no great unification in the world, and many things were different from now. After the unification of the world, how do people live became a problem. As the people, how do we hope to live? As the court, how do people live? Many theories are about trying to solve this problem. To be honest, no one can solve it well. I thought about it and thought that the most appropriate thing is to take the theories of how to live, not demanding the people, but demanding the government. All the officials are different, but as a whole, the government must be a gentleman. Many political affairs are done according to this requirement, which is much better."

Wang Ruohai said: "Jie Shuai said it was excellent. But this kind of thing always needs to be done step by step."

Wang Xiaoli nodded: "Yes, we have to do it step by step, otherwise things will be broken. -Okay, I am happy when I come back today and talk a little too much. This topic will stop here, let's drink."

Several people drank and ate meat, and it was really lively for a while.

Wang Xiaolie felt a little drunk, so he stopped drinking and ordered to bring a glass of pear juice.

After drinking a sip of juice, Wang Xiaolei said: "Dizhi is back today and will take back government affairs tomorrow. What is the current situation? I will tell you roughly. Only by understanding the situation can you know how to do it."

Chen Qiudao bowed and said yes.

Wang Xiaoli said: "This year, the main attack direction of the Jin army is still Sichuan and Shu. Wu Shu is always stationed in Guanzhong, and there is Sali to help him. The military situation cannot be underestimated. However, the Qinling Mountains are naturally dangerous and the Wu brothers help him, Zhang Shumi can still defend it. According to my estimate, the direction of the Jin army's attack will not change in the next two years. Of course, if something unexpected happens, it will be hard to say."

Chen Qiudao said: "I don't know what the unexpected thing that Jieshuai said is?"

Wang Xiaoli said: "For example, we are launching a large-scale northern expedition. As long as we send troops, Liu Yu will definitely attack with all his strength. If Liu Yu's troops are only considered war soldiers, there will be about 50,000. Even if the army is expanded at the limit, because the people in Jingdong and the people in the west of Jingxi will not exceed 80,000 at most. Such troops are not enough to attack us, and the pseudo-Qi will inevitably seek help from the Jin army. In the western part of Jingxi, we will have to face the attack of more than 100,000 troops."

Chen Qiudao pondered and said, "Did General Jie intend to fight the Northern Expedition?"

Wang Xiaoli said: "Now I'm just thinking about it. A few days ago, Li Zhong attacked Jinzhou and captured Junzhou. Our Central Army went to rescue. I saw the situation of the Central Army's training in the past six months. Overall, it was pretty good. Of course, there were still some problems. What is more serious is that the soldiers below were not motivated enough and did too little work in this regard. This is not a matter of one day or one night, so we can only take it slowly. In the next one to two years, I hope to train the other armies. When the training is completed, it will be time to fight the northern expedition."

Li Yanxian couldn't help but say, "Jingshou has too high requirements. I think the central army is already very strong now."

Wang Xiaolei said: "If we just want to defeat the Jin army, it is indeed enough. The Jin army is already short of troops and occupied too large territory. We cannot gather too many troops on a battlefield. As long as we win one battlefield, the war will be easy. However, we not only want to defeat the Jin army, but also want to completely change the military tradition. In this sense, the current drill is not enough. If the drill is not good, it will be even harder to say later. Besides, it is not enough to say that we are not only restoring Kaifeng Prefecture, but completely defeating the Jin Dynasty. "

The other few people didn't say anything. In their eyes, the central army that completed the training was already powerful enough and was invincible in the world. Wang Xiaoli just couldn't say enough, which was really incomprehensible.

Wang Xiaolie ignored everyone and continued, "The situation of the Jin army and Liu Yu is like this. As long as we don't provoke him for the time being, they will not provoke us. As for this dynasty, it has gradually begun to be peaceful. There are only two or three small forces left in the two Huaihe area, and there is no storm. Zhang Taiwei took Yue Fei to Jiangxi and Hunan in the past year, and the result was great. Li Cheng was defeated and fled to the pseudo-Qi. Kong Yanzhou occupied Ezhou and recently retreated under the attack of Zhang Taiwei. I think it will be pacified soon. The most powerful ones now are Yang Mo from Dongting Lake, and then Fan Ruwei from Fujian. Yang Mo is still far from the southeast and the threat is not great. Fujian chaos is in its arms, so it must be pacified. I estimate that in the next year, the court should focus on pacifying Guangdong Road on Fujian Road. To be honest, the court does not like us, but there will be no major events within three or four years."

Wang Xiaoli is actually in a similar situation to Yang Mo. His sphere of influence is far away from the southeast region and is not a concern for the court. In the border area, the Song Dynasty did not have enough troops to defend, so he could only let it develop.
