Li Xin then withdrew his gaze and chuckled, "I was just thinking about something."

"You're the best!" Duan Qingyan was like a mad silver-tabby kitten.

Li Xin nodded solemnly: "Of course, I am an honest man!"

Then he quickly changed the subject and said, "Tell me, what's going on here?"

"I promised Commander Duan that I would take good care of you."

Duan Qingyan sighed softly and said, "Haven't you heard everything?"

Li Xin said calmly, "I only heard a little bit, I don't know the details."

"You should tell the story."

Duan Qingyan said: "It's nothing, it's just that the work can't be pushed forward."

"The officials below all have a very poor work attitude and are very slow in executing government orders."

Li Xin frowned slightly and said, "Is it the same with the people who came with you?"

"Don't they know who you are?"

Duan Qingyan glanced at Li Xin and said, "I don't have any status."

"They do follow orders, but the people in the departments below have problems implementing government orders."

"They are not having an easy time right now."

Li Xin laughed and said, "What is this, the StarCraft version of the wandering officials and local officials?"

In ancient times, grassroots officials were all locals, while officials above the county level were mostly mobile officials from other regions.

This can prevent officials from colluding with each other and working together.

However, this will also make it impossible for many local officials to carry out their work smoothly. It often takes some time to deal with these local officials and establish the prestige and reputation of the officials before the government orders can be implemented more quickly.

Otherwise, it would be like Duan Qingyan's current situation, where senior officials obey orders, but lower-level officials are slow in implementing the orders.

It's not that they won't do it, but they will find various excuses and difficulties to show the difficulty of implementing the government order, slow down the process, or simply not do it.

As for this kind of thing, there is really nothing new under the sun.

From ancient times to the present, as long as human beings have existed, the problems have always been just a change of name.

When Duan Qingyan heard Li Xin say this, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're right, it really is like that."

Li Xin said, "Since you know this story, then if you follow the practices of our predecessors, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Duan Qingyan shook her head slightly, her hair swaying as she did so. She said, "It's easy to know, but it's not easy to actually do it."

"The lower-level administrative officials here have complicated connections. If one isn't handled properly, things could get out of hand."

"Plus, we've already arrested so many high-ranking officials, and we're all new, young officials with insufficient prestige. Now I really... have a headache!"

When Duan Qingyan finished speaking, she began to scratch her hair in annoyance.

Looking at her like a little woman, Li Xin couldn't help laughing.

Duan Qingyan widened her eyes again, staring at Li Xin and said, "What are you laughing at again?!"

Li Xin quickly put away his smile and said, "I thought of something funny."

Duan Qingyan stared at Li Xin fiercely, gnashing her teeth in anger.

Li Xin acted as if he hadn't noticed. He asked seriously, "How do you plan to deal with your current work situation?"

Duan Qingyan said: "Now I can only win over one faction and fight against another. For the faction I win over, I will appropriately release benefits and listen to their opinions."

"For the time being, we will give the suppressive faction a cold shoulder, and the work they reported will be suppressed for the time being."

"On the other hand, the power of personnel is in my hands after all. The appointment and promotion of lower-level administrative officials and employees are all controlled by me."

"If this continues for a while, I'll be able to properly control the government affairs of the Yadun region."

Duan Qingyan closed her eyes and said through gritted teeth, "But sometimes I just get so angry that I want to deal with them as quickly as possible, but things don't go as planned."

"This method of pulling one faction against another is too slow to work, and the connections between these guys are too close. I thought I was pulling one faction, but in fact, the other faction also knew everything."

"There's no way the two sides can fight. If they don't fight, I won't be able to deal with them, and I won't be able to truly establish my prestige."

"If I keep waiting like this, I'll be dragged out myself, and this is not what I want."

"The administrator who came with me has experience, but it's difficult for him to truly take over all of this work right now."

"If we get rid of the native officials, it will be even harder to get government orders passed down. But if we don't get rid of them, we'll still be in the same situation as we are now."

Duan Qingyan was furious. From what she said, it seemed that she had experience, but she was too young.

We want to quickly resolve the issue of the current itinerant officials and local officials, and bring peace and harmony to the region.

However, the results are often contrary to expectations.

After listening to this, Li Xin did not ask any further questions. If he asked further, he would have to ask about specific matters. As M3-level officials, Li Xin and Duan Qingyan did not need to consider these specific matters.

Li Xin sorted out his thoughts, and after considering the problems with the military and Duan Qingyan's administrative department, he said, "How about I give you a few suggestions?"

Duan Qingyan sat up straight involuntarily, staring at Li Xin with sharp eyes.

Li Xin smiled slightly, held up a finger, and said, "The first method: be direct and catch a batch!"

"Catch a group, who should they arrest?" Duan Qingyan asked.

Li Xin said, "Whoever disobeys will be arrested, including the middle-level managers and the key figures who connect them."

Duan Qingyan's eyes rolled around, and she couldn't help but move closer to Li Xin, asking hurriedly, "What's the reason for arresting him? I can't just arrest someone for no reason."

Li Xin laughed and said, "Do you even need a reason? You're the local tyrant now. If you want to arrest someone, just tell them."

Duan Qingyan reached out and pushed Li Xin's shoulder, spitting, "What a local tyrant you are! You speak so harshly."

"Even if you're a local tyrant, you're still the one. I'm just..."

"I'm not a local tyrant anyway!"

Li Xin was not angry after being pushed, and said, "Anyway, this is what I mean."

Duan Qingyan propped her chin up with her hand and said, "But the police and the inspection department also have their people. Even if I lock them up, it's useless. They're not afraid without actual charges. I can't lock them up for too long. What if they become even more disobedient after they get out?"

Duan Qingyan raised her head and looked at Li Xin with pitiful eyes. A strand of hair fell in front of her eyes. She couldn't help but pout and blew twice, trying to blow the hair away.

When Li Xin saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile. If Duan Qingyan behaved like this in front of her subordinates, who would still be able to work obediently?
