Seeing that no one understood, Xu Haofei slowly explained:

"You may not understand this philosophy of meanness. Its meaning is: we must be close to reality when doing things, and we cannot discuss the middle way from reality. Does this mean? Mayor Zhang?!"

Mayor Zhang nodded quickly and said:

"Secretary Xu, what you said is too incisive, that's what Confucius actually said. This is what he meant. The word "meaning" means vulgarity. Only when vulgarity and mediocrity can the middle route be brought to its extreme, otherwise it will be a castle in the air!"

Everyone didn't understand what they were discussing, so they couldn't interrupt and had to dare to speak. They just listened to Secretary Xu explaining the doctrine of the mean alone.

Secretary Xu continued to say to everyone:

"Mr. Confucius said the doctrine of the mean means that we should put this neutrality into some small things and master's degree, not be arrogant, but be calm and implement the doctrine of the mean in daily life, such as the firewood, rice, oil and salt, so that everyone can achieve the doctrine of the mean."

Deputy County Magistrate Li has also been aware of the doctrine of the mean. He was reluctant to admire Secretary Xu's opinion. He was the first to applaud and said loudly:

"Okay, okay! I thought Secretary Xu was young and did not understand the doctrine of the mean. Now it seems that he is a veritable philosophical enthusiast and has explained this well! I admire him!"

Mayor Zhang also said to everyone:

"Mr. Confucius' doctrine of the mean is the highest state he pursues throughout his life. His purpose is to make his intermediate routes penetrate into the daily life and manners of each of us. Therefore, he is also very ambitious and is the first person to dailyize the unfathomable theory!"

Xu Haofei said:

"It seems that Mayor Zhang and Deputy County Magistrate Li have indeed studied the doctrine of the mean. You are right. The doctrine of the mean is a philosophy of life that is very close to our actual life. All of us, including every cadre and leader present, are actually using this philosophy intentionally or unintentionally, just unconsciously!"

Mayor Zhang is very knowledgeable about the doctrine of the mean, but he used all these experiences in places where he didn't know whether it was good or bad. He was very casual, so he immediately said:

"Confucius's doctrine of the mean is like a cultural gene, deeply rooted in the blood of our entire nation. Whether you admit it well or not, everyone unknowingly applies this philosophy every day!"

Secretary Xu nodded and continued Mayor Zhang's words and said to everyone:

"You all listen to it. Our Mayor Zhang is very knowledgeable about this philosophy, but I, Xu Haofei, think that I do not agree with the current doctrine of the mean, because people have distorted its essence!"

When everyone saw that tonight's meeting was originally a discussion of Comrade Yang Xiaoya's long-term plan, it has now become a defense of the doctrine of the mean. This is a strange thing!

Secretary Wang of the Commission for Discipline Inspection knew nothing about philosophy, so he looked coldly from the side, preparing to pierce the birds with philosophical wings with his own sharp sword without philosophy.

He thought hard about how to let the hypocritical Xu Haofei leave Heqiao County. If this person doesn't leave for a day, Heqiao County will be in peace for a day!

Xu Haofei secretly glanced at his unequal opponent and was thinking in his heart that just a secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission would make his anti-corruption unable to be implemented. It seemed that he should really consider philosophical issues.

You must think clearly about the difficulties you choose from the perspective of philosophy. Only by seeing the difficulties you are in from the sky and using the philosophical perspective can he find a way out!

Although Mayor Zhang did not expect that to be so deep, he was a little scared of this young man when talking about this philosophical issue.

Mayor Zhang has always felt that it is easier to deal with a superior leader who has no philosophical mind and acts blindly, but it is simply a disaster to deal with a superior leader who has a philosophical mind and has philosophical opinions. Such a leader is like a hawk, hovering over your head, and taking your life at any time!

So Mayor Zhang hurriedly asked:

"Secretary Xu, what's going on with your so-called philosophical view? None of us dares to criticize Confucius' philosophy anyway. You are the number one person in China and abroad!"

Xu Haofei smiled and said:

"If Confucius was still alive, he would probably be angry to death, because we are not following the crowd and have no intention of correcting or improving his philosophy. This is not his original intention! Learning from one example and applying it to others is his original intention, right?!"

Mayor Zhang nodded repeatedly and said:

"Oh, Secretary Xu, I admire you now. You are right. We are not saying that our generation is our people for generations. We either accept Confucius' doctrine of the mean, or deny his philosophical way. This shortcoming has been revealed to you?"

Secretary Xu immediately said:

"Mayor Zhang, it's not the first one I can see. Many people have discovered that we like to fully accept Confucius' philosophy and explain it in a distorted way, right?"

Deputy County Magistrate Li disagreed and said to Secretary Xu:

"Secretary Xu, I didn't realize that anyone who distorted the philosophy of Confucius, might as well tell us something, I would like to hear it in detail!"

Secretary Xu changed his tone and said in a sharp tone:

"For example, our plan, there are corruption issues, reform issues, the style of our cadres in Qiao County, your attitude issues, etc., all of which are problematic, they are intentionally misinterpreted and utilized the doctrine of the mean, do you know?!"

...

When Mayor Zhang heard this, he said in his heart, "Is this person surnamed Xu not simple?" He soon led a philosophical issue to the incident between us and the Qiao County Party Committee and the County Government. This is very premeditated!"

Secretary Wang of the Commission for Discipline Inspection saw that Xu Haofei finally revealed his tiger teeth, so he quickly said:

"Secretary Xu, are you saying that we and the Qiao County Party Committee are all misinterpreting Confucius' doctrine of the mean? Isn't it? Why don't I think it!"

Xu Haofei immediately said:

"Secretary Wang, you don't know the true face of Mount Lu, because you are born in this mountain! So you can't see the mystery. My surname is Xu, who is on the top of the mountain, so you climb high and look at the mountains at a distance, right?!"

Secretary Wang of the Commission for Discipline Inspection hurriedly stopped the pause gesture and said to Secretary Xu:

"Secretary Xu, can you stop singing high-profile?! What's the corruption of our county party committee? If you want to talk about it carefully, let's listen to it, and open your eyes, how about it?!"

Xu Haofei immediately said:

"For example, some of our big leaders, when they talk about reform and change, are like a loser, and are in a panic all day long. They have to be stable and conservative in everything. As a result, they have been stable for more than ten years. Not only has they not brought any benefits to Heqiao County, but they are getting worse and worse. Do you think this is not the wrong doctrine of the mean?!"

Everyone knew in their hearts that Secretary Xu was talking about County Mayor Zhang, because County Mayor Zhang had been in charge of Heqiao County for about ten years. It seemed that it was very stable, with no results or failure.

To put it bluntly, County Magistrate Zhang is a doctrine of mean official who advocates harmony as the most important, and develops second to the second, and believes that chaos is a bad apple. Xu Haofei secretly criticized him.

Xu Haofei wanted to kill the chicken and scare the monkey, and by criticizing Zhang Wenxian, he shocked those diehards who obstructed any reform!

Secretary Wang of the Commission for Discipline Inspection hurriedly defended County Mayor Zhang:

"Secretary Xu, what you said is not comprehensive. We are not those conservatives. The key is that this is too backward to Qiao County. People are conservative in their thinking and cannot reform. So it is better to be more conservative. Is it better to be Deputy County Mayor Li? You understand philosophy, just talk about it!"

Deputy County Magistrate Li hurriedly said:

"Yes, Secretary Xu, we are a poor and weak county with Qiao County. There is a big gap between us than those advanced counties, so we cannot rush to achieve success, we must make steady progress, right?!"

Secretary Xu smiled and said to everyone:

"If you understand the doctrine of the mean correctly, it is beneficial, but if you understand it wrong, you will become accomplices of bad people. Do you know?! We cannot accept Confucius' philosophy in full, but we must absorb the essence of the Chinese and then use it for me, not absorb the outdated things inside!"

Everyone listened secretly, and Xu Haofei continued:

"But, on the contrary, some people with ulterior motives can always find some arguments from the doctrine of the mean, misinterpret them, and justify their wrong behavior, which is wrong!"

Mayor Zhang hurriedly said:

"Secretary Xu, I am an old mayor, but I didn't realize that there is a cadre in Qiao County who misunderstood the doctrine of the mean and the philosophy of life, right?"

Secretary Xu looked back at Mayor Zhang and said to him sternly:

"Mayor Zhang, I didn't want to talk about you at first, but you actually jumped out. Then I'm going to talk about you myself! Look at what you made Gao Yao Town look like? There's nothing I can say! I think you are an independent kingdom, an independent kingdom that can't be stabbed in and water cannot be poured in!"

When Mayor Zhang heard Secretary Xu criticizing him in person, he was not convinced and whispered:

"Although I, Zhang Wenxian, did not do anything great in Gaoyao Town, Heqiao County, I, Zhang Wenxian, had a clear conscience and I didn't mess up here, right?"

Xu Haofei said coldly:
Chapter completed!
