Hua Huang glanced at Catherine, seeing Catherine looking at herself obsessively, her face was red, a little embarrassed, the emotion in Catherine's eyes, a fool can tell it, Hua Huang looked around nervously, to make sure that no one paid attention to himself and Catherine, only slightly relieved.Catherine saw that His Majesty had a look at the surrounding environment, and she also understood, her face turned red, she turned her gaze, and she didn't know what was wrong with her, when she was about to be thirty years old, her daughter was more than ten years old, and she would be like a young girl, she felt deeply in love with someone for the first time, and it was actually such a strong feeling, it seemed that the whole body and mind were intoxicated, and people couldn't extricate themselves.Huaguo practiced monogamy, and the concubines who were accepted in the Qing Dynasty in the past were also issued marriage certificates to couples recognized by law, but since the founding of Huaguo, except for the Chinese Emperor, everyone must be monogamous.Emperor Hua didn't dare to do anything with Catherine, but he was also afraid that if this kind of thing was exposed, the impact would be too great, and everyone would follow the same example, saying that the upper beam was not right and the lower beam was crooked, which was a great blow to Emperor Hua's aura.Huaguo is in the hands of President Meng, and he is very strict about cheating and cheating, but he is very loose about unmarried childbirth, and he can get a household registration if he has a mother, and it has no effect on what he does, which is a manifestation of President Meng's respect for marriage, and when they get married, they should be sincere to each other, and deception should be severely punished.But the funniest thing is that not only does Emperor Hua not have a limit on how many wives he marries, but also seems to have some intention of cheating.Emperor Hua still has a view of right and wrong, otherwise, he would have given Catherine to the Fa on the spot last night."
Officials climb up to obtain higher authority and salary, nothing more than the so-called gentleman loves money, take it in the right way, serve the people wholeheartedly Officials naturally know the people's property and life best, looking at the wealth and wealth of the landlords, powerful businessmen, and the biggest impact is naturally these people's public servants, and what kind of wealth will they have to maximize their own benefits, this is the driving force behind people's behavior under private ownership, and the bureaucracy is no exception, counting on these people to fight corruption, Isn't it too naïve to expect a group of people who are opposed to their own interests to be alienated from the bureaucratic class?
The anti-corruption of the Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers is nothing more than the consolidation of their rule, and there are a group of far-sighted people in the bureaucracy, in order to carry out the rule for a longer period of time, and to carry out anti-corruption from their long-term interests.Some people say that corrupt officials should be caught and killed, but in fact, what you think of, our ancestors have long thought of.Zhu Yuanzhang set up Jinyi Guard, and the spy agencies were all over the country, monitoring every move of officials, not only were they killed when caught, but they were also cramped and peeled off, and it is said that the chairs in the yamen and the drums beaten in front of the yamen were all made of the human skins of the former corrupt officials.However, it can only be said that killing people can deter corrupt officials to a certain extent, but it cannot be used to cure corruption.The anti-corruption campaign relies on the bureaucracy killing the bureaucracy, and the bureaucracy itself is an interest group, so the anti-corruption affair will eventually become a mere formality, or even just a tool for party struggle. ”Hua Huang returned to the topic just now.Catherine snorted, and continued: "Zhu Yuanzhang's anti-corruption was finally pushed to the other side that he didn't want to see, and became a means used by bureaucrats to eliminate dissent, and the later Jinyiwei, East Factory and West Factory were not just tools for party struggle, not to mention, the economic base determines the superstructure, how can a group of people who not only maintain private ownership but also be selfless under the private ownership system can be expected to expect a group of people who maintain the privileged class only have others in their hearts, but not themselves, they are not officials for the sake of being officials, but for doing things."
They do not do things for their own selfish interests, but for lofty ideals and great spirits.Zhu Yuanzhang didn't do this, all the anti-corruption routines that modern people can think of are all leftovers played by our ancestors.In the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as the common people claimed to be petitioners, all the cards were released, and they were also entangled, and sometimes they could talk face-to-face with the emperor, but these still failed to stop corruption.In a society where various interest groups are competing with each other, and all kinds of forces check and balance each other in the dynamic, who can control whom?
If mass supervision can deal with officials, why is there any need to rebel, and how can it be brought to the point of having to be revolutionary?
The change of dynasty itself negates the feasibility of mass supervision, and the feudal ruling class has always been dissatisfied with and extorts excessively, which will inevitably push the working people into a desperate situation, so that the ruled class has to replace a group of new rulers with violent revolution. ”Hua Huang felt that the more he talked with Catherine, the more speculative he became, and he also felt a lot more relaxed, thinking about problems alone, it is always better to brainstorm, on how to build a cadre team, how to fight corruption, in fact, he has talked to Princess Katrina Kafu many times, "Zhu Yuanzhang faced a lot of difficult problems at that time.The impact of the implementation of the new policy on vested interests has attracted resistance and demolition of the grassroots by the returnee groups, leading to political instability and high-level rebellion tendencies attracted and stimulated, such as the Hu Weiyong rebellion.The design was not enough to pay for the waste caused by the face-saving problems of the officials inherited from the previous dynasty, nor was it enough to pay the salaries of the technical monopoly groups such as the master.Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill the group of masters, and then opened a school to teach the masters' skills, but the masters became more and more monopolistic, and there was a super monopoly of the master out of Shaoxing.In practice, the effectiveness of solving cases against corruption and insurgency has been low, and there is a lack of modern means of checking confessions and rewarding voluntary surrenders.Low wages do not attract talent, leading to a vicious circle.Officials not only have the right to stamp, but also need ability, who is willing to work for you if the salary is low.The military regulations of the war also talk about rewards and punishments.As for the politics of the rich in the West, as long as his property is passed on to future generations, it is no different from the royal family.Democracy is just a system, and when the system is perfect, it is the same from the top to the bottom, and from the bottom to the top, after all, there is a way for the masses to report, not to mention how difficult it is to achieve the perfection of the system.The existing democracy also has many problems, such as the failure to hold the people accountable and the low quality of the people, which leads to the inability to effectively play democracy, and is not perfect.Human beings are greedy and inferior, and any system cannot be solved in a short period of time, so the long-term firm Yuan Zhang's policy can be more perfect and reasonable, and if it is killed from generation to generation, and it will not be overturned by the evil forces, it may be possible to transform the human nature that is not greedy, but as soon as he died, Zhu Di abolished his set of policies.Zhu Yuanzhang himself has problems.Zhu Yuanzhang was forty years old, and he felt very good about himself for a period of time at the age of fifty, and he was obsessed with beautiful women and was not diligent in government, which led to the problem being concealed and delayed and intensified.Zhu Yuanzhang's Jinyiwei's supervision of the Three Law Divisions was still in place, and Jinyiwei itself had not yet decayed, so there was no big problem here.For the Chinese people, it is a great pleasure to see corrupt officials being punished by the Ming Dynasty, and a large part of the reason why Bao Zheng, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, has been so worshiped by the Chinese people for thousands of years is that his dog-headed guillotine, tiger-headed guillotine and dragon head guillotine enforce the law like a mountain, which is very happy.To this day, the news of the fall of corrupt officials in the Huacui Evening News is still very exciting for the people. ”"Yes, so the salary of civil servants in Huaguo has always been slightly higher than the average salary of society, which is to let everyone have face, and being an official is a matter of face, and let everyone have benefits.Your Majesty, in what form do the assets of corrupt officials mainly exist," Catherine asked."
Everywhere.Any form of asset, as long as it is obtained through the trading of power, is corruption. ”Hua Huang replied: "China should shift the main battlefield of anti-corruption from "cracking down on corruption" to the redistribution of the assets of corrupt officials, and the most direct way is to tax assets, and then use the tax to improve the people's livelihood projects, which can not only greatly reduce the rent-seeking income of corrupt officials, but also consolidate the ruling foundation of the central government, and minimize the harm of corruption to society."
The process of convicting corrupt officials is often lengthy, but the asset tax can be levied at any time, and there is no need for the premise of convicting corrupt officials, and from an economic point of view, it is also the most lethal to corrupt vested interests as a whole.The contingent of officials with "ten officials and nine corrupt officials" cannot effectively fight corruption by relying on supervision alone, and this is like using a sniper unit to undertake the main combat tasks of a major campaign, with accurate target strikes, but the overall lethal effect is negligible.It is necessary to use economic methods to crack down on the large-scale sheep shearing of corrupt official groups, so as to greatly reduce the rent-seeking income of corrupt officials and reduce their negative externalities.Although the introduction of the asset tax will also affect the people, given that the vast majority of China's wealth is rapidly concentrating in the hands of a small number of interest groups, the people will be more compensated by a fairer redistribution of wealth in the asset tax. ”"Your Majesty's idea is really good, but in this way, Huaguo's fiscal and taxation system must be completely reformed, because Huaguo currently has almost no direct property tax.China mainly taxes labor and consumption, and basically does not tax property and capital.There is no inheritance tax, no gift tax, and no fixed asset retention tax.As a corrupt official with huge wealth, he is very happy in China, and wealth can be constantly transferred, increased, and passed on to the next generation almost unscathed.Sometimes a corrupt official falls, but his wealth is largely preserved, and such anti-corruption is almost meaningless.China's taxation does not have the function of regulating the rich and the poor, and virtually magnifies the social destructive power of corrupt officials several times.The role of our central bank is not yet obvious, and money is your Majesty's most advantageous weapon. ”Catherine agreed."
Regulating private finance is a big problem, the workload is too large, too many people are needed, and there is the problem of bureaucracy and bureaucracy as you said.Private finance can greatly make the flow of funds, and can also help the development of private capital, but it can also help corrupt officials hide their assets, transfer assets in the name of ingenuity, how to supervise private finance, this is a big topic, but also the most important link in the upcoming blood cultivation movement, will play a huge role in the process of rectifying the administration of officials, tax reform, and consolidating centralized power. ”Hua Huang glanced at Catherine, and suddenly his heart moved, Catherine's thinking was exactly the same as herself, and she was very able to understand her intentions."
Yes, the bureaucracy is in charge of the bureaucracy, which is equivalent to letting a person find his own faults, everyone thinks they are good, even if they are shortcomings, they will feel indifferent, and they will automatically beautify them in their brains."
Catherine suddenly calmed down again."
The ancients and the modern people are not a matter of who is smarter, in many ways, the ancients are smarter, because they are pioneers with no experience at all, and the modern people have the ancients as a reference.There are many ways, but there is one that has practical value, which is the best way. ”Emperor Hua said to Catherine: "Otherwise, it is all on paper." ”t1706231537:
