Chapter 391 Responsibility
"Don't worry about being laughed at. If we achieve what we planned at the beginning of the year by the end of next year, the people who laughed at us before will laugh harder, and they will be more shocked by our achievements in Xinghan League." Liu Xinqi replied: "So , everyone’s main focus should be on how to find ways to complete these plans, rather than worrying about being laughed at by others.”

"Yes, Alliance Leader!" Everyone stood up together.

"The next step is for each of your departments to refine their plans. I want to see that you have initially achieved the goals set by the alliance for you in the plan. You can't mess around. I will review your plans one by one. Don't take any chances." Liu Xinqi ordered.

Everyone looked constipated after hearing this.

"Be bold in your imagination, arrange in detail, and be thoughtful. You still have plenty of time. If you have any questions, come to me. But I hope that when you come to me with a problem, you can bring several solutions to the problem at the same time. Let me choose." Liu Xinqi emphasized again.

There is a management philosophy in later generations called "Don't let the monkey jump on your back."

The monkey metaphor is responsibility.By asking for instructions from the leader, employees pass on their work responsibilities to the leader.If leaders want to have more free time, they must prevent employees from transferring the monkey on their back to their own back.

To put it another way, employees report their work to the leader, and the leader can only answer multiple-choice questions, such as: good, bad, follow this, go back and do it again, etc.You cannot say: Let me think about it, I will find a way, etc., and take the responsibility on yourself.

Regarding the formulation of annual plans for the Xinghan League, what the minister below has to do is to present a complete, detailed, and executable plan to Liu Xinqi for approval.Even if there are problems that cannot be solved by a single department, it is necessary to come up with several methods and suggestions, and then let Liu Xinqi decide what to do or coordinate.And just because you encounter problems and difficulties, you can't let Liu Xinqi come up with ways to solve the problems and eliminate the difficulties.

Only when officials below learn to take responsibility can they grow and become independent.Only if the officials below can take responsibility can the Xinghan League continue to flourish.

Otherwise, relying on Liu Xinqi alone, he would be exhausted and unable to realize the grand dream in his heart.

……

On September 29, some items related to people's livelihood in the "Jingyan Three-Year Development Plan to Revitalize the Han League" that had been carefully reviewed and confirmed were published in People's Daily.

For a time, it aroused heated discussions among the people.

Some support it, some don't believe it, some think it's too big a step, and some feel that the management of Xinghan League has been inflated and Yelang is being conceited.

The majority of people do not believe that the Xinghan League can complete these plans.

But we just talk about it in private, and no one will come to the government and tell the Xinghan League that you should be more realistic and down-to-earth.Therefore, the life of Xinghan League officials was relatively peaceful and they were not affected by public opinion.

"...Although no one believes that the goals in these plans can really be achieved, the people are still very supportive of the government being so open and transparent and developing people's livelihood in a planned way." Xu Zhong reported to Liu Xinqi that the people Reaction to this development plan: "Generally speaking, the publication of this plan in newspapers is beneficial to the popular support of our Xinghan League government among the people, and is beneficial to the people's support for our Xinghan League's rule."

"That's for sure. It's like making friends with others. No one wants to make a friend who is hiding something. The same is true for the people's requirements for the government." Liu Xinqi said.

“The announcement of the development plan this time is just the beginning. In the future, the government’s annual expenditures will be gradually announced, that is, to let the people know where the taxes they paid are spent; and at the end of each year, they will also announce how much the government plans to spend next year. Where it is planned to be spent; at the beginning of each year, the government’s fiscal revenue for the previous year is announced, and how much of it is taxed and paid by affiliated enterprises; etc.”

"Is it appropriate to let the common people know so much?" Xu Zhong was a little puzzled. "The policy of ignoring the people will only make the country weaker and weaker. Only when the people's wisdom is enlightened, and every citizen contributes to the country's prosperity and strength, can the country last forever and prosper." Liu Xinqi concluded.

Xu Zhong knew that he was completely incomparable with Liu Xinqi in terms of strategic planning for this kind of national development, so he did not continue to pick up this topic.

"I want to report something to you, about Wu Chengye."

"You said."

Liu Xinqi withdrew his thoughts and looked at Xu Zhong.

"You previously arranged for Wu Chengye to infiltrate the center of the Jin Kingdom, but he failed as soon as he contacted Wanyan Zong's auxiliary army in Yanjing."

"Oh? Why?" Liu Xinqi was a little confused.

Wu Chengye was very smart. He had successfully escaped several times before in the Xinghan League. He was the only one among the tens of thousands of reform-through-labor prisoners, which showed that he was at least the smartest person among the tens of thousands of people.

"After you cast the spell, his body shape changed too much. Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zongbi are very concerned about people who are much taller than ordinary people and have a very burly figure. They usually exclude them from the management. Even if they recruit such people When you join the Golden Army, you will also arrange people to keep an eye on them all the time, and once you find that the strength of such people is far superior to ordinary people, you will gather troops to encircle and wipe them out." Xu Zhonghui reported.

"That's why we are listening. Soldiers' spies cannot infiltrate the management of various departments of the Jin Kingdom and Puppet Qi. They can only do some force exploration work, or use their absolute loyalty to appoint the person in charge of the stronghold."

"Wu Chengye has never met Wanyan Zongfu or Wanyan Zongbi at all?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"Yes, he was intercepted at the outermost edge. Although he was very careful to hide his great strength, he was still suspected. He was identified as a spy by the Jin Army due to negligence. If he hadn't been alert, he would have been arrested. The Jin army ambushed and besieged." Xu Zhong reported: "Now as the person in charge of Diting's strongholds on Zhongjing Road and Xijing Road, he stays in Yanjing to work while waiting for further orders from the alliance."

Liu Xinqi lowered his head and thought.

Wu Chengye was directly excluded from the Jin Kingdom because his body shape changed too much and he was too burly.This shows that it is possible to arrange soldiers as spies, but the disadvantages of being spies are too great.

However, when spies are dispatched to the enemy's central department, the loyalty of ordinary people cannot be guaranteed, and the size of loyal warriors is too different from ordinary people.It seems that the construction of the Xinghan League's intelligence system cannot be completed quickly. It is necessary to continue to cultivate ordinary spies who are loyal to the Xinghan League and infiltrate the enemy's center.

Cultivating the loyalty of ordinary people is a time-consuming and long-term work, and the results will not be seen for the time being.

Liu Xinqi's plan to infiltrate the enemy's center was aborted before it even started.
