"Perhaps you have also heard that the supervision department has taken relatively strong actions in recent times, right? Well, it seems that our northwest is not a clean place. Originally, I thought that this or that problem would not occur in our northwest in a short time, but I didn't expect it. , it’s only been a few years, hey, all kinds of gadgets have popped up, it’s hard to guard against them.” Wu Feng lay back in his chair, paused and said with some sadness: “Those officials in the newly surrendered areas have these problems. , I'm not surprised, after all, they didn't realize the difference between our northwest and the empire. However, among the six northwest prefectures, except for your Qingyang Prefecture, which has not yet been seized by the supervisory department, this kind of phenomenon has occurred in every prefecture to a greater or lesser extent. , and there are also the old people who followed me from the city guard. I didn’t expect that the corruption would deteriorate so quickly. It has become like this just a few years after arriving in the place. This is simply unacceptable to me. Could it be that the empire today is our northwest? Tomorrow, I cannot accept this result."
Seeing that his boss's mood suddenly became a little excited, Molun remained silent, silently thinking about the meaning of his boss's words. Since he has allowed himself to sit in the high position of Director of Legal Affairs, alongside the Director of Government Affairs and the Director of Military Affairs, and has recruited him from Qingyang so urgently, his boss must have felt that the problems existing in his territory cannot be ignored or even ignored. Although it is dangerous, Molun is actually paying attention to the development of this situation.
During this period, the Supervisory Office launched a series of purge operations code-named "Innocence", arresting more than 80 officials at all levels, ranging from prefecture-level directors to ordinary town-level officials. Officials, all the officials in the northwest prefectures and counties became angry when talking about the Supervision Bureau. Most of these dismissed officials came from the newly incorporated northwest jurisdiction, such as officials from Lulong, Tianshui, Longdong and Xikang prefectures. Officials from ethnic minority areas also The exposure is more prominent, but there are also a small number of people from the five northwest prefectures and the two northern Luzon prefectures outside Qingyang Prefecture. The problems exposed are also shocking, ranging from bending the law for personal gain to abusing power for personal gain, from buying and selling officials to corruption and accepting bribes. The most prominent among them is the collusion between officials and businessmen to line their own pockets, which is most serious in the newly surrendered areas.
The boss probably said this because he wanted to hear his views on this matter and what measures should be taken to deal with it. This might be regarded as a policy speech before he took office. Mo Lun thought with a wry smile, but no one has been able to cure this sexual problem in the past dynasties. Although Mo Lun is conceited and talented, he still doesn't have much confidence in this issue. To be precise, it should be Mo Lun himself who is aware of this phenomenon. I also agree with the attitude that lust will always be associated with greed and power. It is immortal and can never be cut off. The only way is probably to minimize its level.
"Sir, you don't have to worry too much. This kind of corruption has never been eradicated, and it can't be eradicated. Why? The root of corruption lies in people's greed, but its soil is the existence of power, and wherever there are people, there will be greed. Desire, this is the evil of human nature, and there must be a certain political structure to manage the other side. This involves the distribution and application of power. This is the soil where corruption arises. It is obviously impossible to eliminate these two points. Unless the human race does not exist. Judging from the development of human history, this phenomenon will continue to exist for a long time." After thinking for a long time, Mo Lun finally spoke, but these words made Wu Feng greatly frustrated.
"Then you mean there's nothing we can do about it?" Wu Feng certainly didn't believe that the person he had chosen as the director of legal affairs would come to such a conclusion.
"Of course not. Now I am just discussing with you the origin and reasons of the phenomenon of **. Regarding **, whether it is the Eastern Continent or the Western Continent, different countries and regions have different means and measures to deal with it. In the Eastern Continent, especially our Tang people, we advocate self-cultivation and improving personal moral character to restrain people's greed and eliminate and reduce the occurrence of corruption from the source. On the other hand, we also advocate the use of severe punishments and laws to combat this phenomenon. , to achieve a deterrent effect through severe punishment, so that future generations will not commit the crime again; while the countries in the Western Continent advocate the establishment of a set of good norms to restrain the power of government officials, make them check and balance each other, and at the same time improve the professional quality of government officials. From these two In order to reduce the possibility of **." Molun talked enthusiastically.
"Then what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?" Wu Feng was obviously interested.
"The former starts from the root, it should be said to treat the root cause, but judging from the situation of the past dynasties established by our Tang clan, it is obvious that this effect is not good, because it is easy for human nature to go to evil, but it is difficult to go to good, and society is more complex. Change, when you are in a high position, it is difficult for ordinary people to refuse the temptation of interests. To achieve the goal from the source not only requires a lot of perseverance and time, but also easily falls short of the success. As for severe punishment, it is only a temporary solution. A special method can have a certain effect in the short term or in individual areas, but driven by human greed, this effect appears to be very limited. The direction of the Western Continent seems to be better, but they also have shortcomings , all systems and norms have flaws and loopholes. Driven by human greed, they will try every means to find ways to deal with these preventive and restrictive systems, which will greatly restrict the role of these systems, and the system The stricter, more standardized and more perfect it will inevitably affect the efficiency of government work. This must be taken into consideration. As for strengthening professional ethics education, this has the same effect as the cultivation of moral character in the Eastern Continent. It should be said that it has a certain effect, but it is very limited. ." Mo Lun slowly analyzed the similarities and differences in Dong Dongdao's strategies for punishing criminals.
"Well, there is some truth to it. It seems that this *** problem is indeed a stubborn disease in officialdom. It is not easy to cure. But Molun, what measures do you think should be taken to deal with the current situation in our northwest, including Kansai? How about rectification in order to limit the occurrence of these phenomena to the minimum?" Wu Feng sighed with emotion. This problem has troubled him for a long time. Long before the Supervisory Office launched the "Innocence" operation, he had more or less He had heard few reactions, and he also expected that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later in his territory. However, he did not expect that the action of the Supervisory Office would be so rapid and the results achieved would be so huge. Of course, it would be a disguised form. It showed how serious the problems faced by officials in his territory were, which Wu Feng had not expected.
This is another complicated topic. Fortunately, when Molun was explaining the root cause of the disease, he was already formulating countermeasures, so it was quite orderly: "If you want Molun to find a radical cure, maybe you want to Disappointed. However, Molun also has some ideas to control this phenomenon within low and acceptable limits, which can be used for adults to consider and refer to. First, establish a good official selection system and training system, especially for officials entering government agencies. It is the inspection and understanding of officials in important positions, starting from the first step. In addition, after taking office, they also need to conduct regular conduct assessment and study, strengthen the cultivation of professional ethics, so that they have a lofty sense of responsibility for their profession, and the greatest fundamental Prevent them from degenerating as much as possible."
"Second, increase the salaries of government officials and establish a stable salary system so that officials can maintain a high standard of living among the entire social group even without any external illegal income. Because from the current situation Looking at government officials, it should be said that most of them belong to the elites with more knowledge and abilities in the entire social class. They more or less hold a certain amount of power in their hands. If they cannot feel that they get value for money, compared with those who have The people who seek help from them are all rich, which will inevitably lead to a sense of imbalance. If this imbalance cannot be viewed with a normal mentality, it can easily turn into psychological preparation for adultery."
"Third, improve the restriction system, strengthen the supervision function, intensify efforts to investigate and crack down on adultery, and curb adultery crimes from both prevention and punishment. Establish a power restriction system that is suitable for the conditions in our northwest to reduce * Of course, this is somewhat difficult, especially in the northwest, where we are still in the entrepreneurial stage. Overemphasis on this point will weaken the efficiency of our governance and management. Strengthening the supervision function means giving the supervisory department greater power, both in terms of organization and staffing. We will provide adequate guarantees in terms of funding and funding, and at the same time, we will encourage the entire public to supervise the behavior of government officials and encourage the reporting of government officials’ adultery. The legal department will reward the whistleblowers and keep them confidential. In addition, we should increase the intensity of punishment of adultery from a legal perspective.”
"In addition, I also want to make a suggestion to your Excellency. Of course, this idea may not necessarily be in line with the current reality. I just want to put it forward. I hope you will feel that gradually implementing this system at the appropriate time may help curb the occurrence and occurrence of pornographic phenomena. Spread." Mo Lun seemed a little hesitant when talking about the last point, which was somewhat different from his clear attitude when talking about the previous points, which made Wu Feng suddenly interested.
"Oh, you might as well talk and listen." Wu Feng encouraged with interest.
"That is to establish a property declaration and filing system for officials after they take office. The declaration and filing system can be gradually rolled out. From the beginning, only reporting to the supervisory department will eventually be reported to all the people. This is a process, and adults can control the progress. In this way It can effectively prevent officials from abusing power for personal gain and bending the law during their term of office. It also provides a good supervision environment for the supervisory department. If an official intentionally conceals or omits his income and is found out by the supervisory department, there is no doubt that this official will There is a sex problem." Mo Lun's last words were so shocking that even Wu Feng was stunned.
