The truth is actually very simple, that is, "from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift".

The extra benefits really have to fall into their pockets, and they may be embarrassed at the beginning, and they are a little afraid to take it, but after putting it in their waist bags for a long time, it will be very uncomfortable to take it out and hand it over, just like cutting meat.

In the previous life, the main reason why officials could not implement the announcement of their property for decades was that from this time on, officials began to have gray income, special preferences, and many privileges. Since this time, the vast majority of officials have realized that their salaries have not been paid at all, bonuses have been paid inexplicably, houses have been lived in for nothing, water and electricity are low, and the materials issued by units for the New Year and holidays cannot be eaten or used up......

Even if he is a very honest official, if he is asked to disclose his assets, he will not be able to justify many of his own assets, and he will not be able to explain why his family has so many assets. Even if officials are 100 percent honest about their assets, the common people will still question him: with the salary on his file, his family cannot have so much property without eating or drinking.

What the common people don't know is that they can really go without eating or drinking. Of course, this does not eat or drink means that you do not eat your own salary, do not drink your own salary, it is enough to rely on the benefits of the unit, and the salary and bonus can be deposited in the bank in a lot.

It is better not to make it public than to be so thankless, rather than to raise more questions after making it public.

In his previous life, a man named Li Yongzhong was the vice president of the China Institute of Discipline Inspection and Supervision, an expert in institutional anti-corruption, and a part-time professor at the National Academy of Administration and other institutions, and had long been committed to research in the fields of institutional supervision and anti-corruption. In response to the issue of officials publicizing their assets, he said: "......, the vast number of officials' family assets cannot be publicized on a large scale at present, because some technical conditions are not yet available. All the more so because of a considerable number of officials. Due to various reasons such as the institutional system, there has been a considerable amount of gray or even black income in the past thirty years, and it is time for him to publicize it. Undoubtedly, it will only make them the resistance and antagonist of political (reform). ”

This means that in the 30 years of reform and opening up, many law-abiding officials have inevitably had a lot of gray income. If this part of the assets is not publicized and not investigated, there is no problem, at most it is only suspected by some ordinary people. But once these are made public, it will definitely make countless ordinary people who did not know about it angry, and the public opinion of the common people will push them to the forefront of the storm, and it is likely to ruin their reputation.

These officials themselves consider themselves innocent and believe that the wealth they have received is justified. If they need to take such a big risk because of publicity, of course they will not do it, and they will definitely become the obstructors of political (reform). will make them stand on the opposite side of politics (reform).

This is true of good leading cadres who abide by discipline and law, and they all oppose the disclosure of their assets, and those corrupt officials who wantonly make money are even more vigorously opposed. Naturally, it is even more difficult to publicize assets. In many countries, publicity is not a problem. But it cannot be carried out in our country.

So much so that this anti-corruption expert named Li Yongzhong prescribed a very helpless "prescription": "......

The disclosure of officials' assets should be subject to a 'conditional partial pardon', that is, the ** element will anonymously remove all the bribes he has received. In addition, after the case is discovered, the stolen money returned after verification is found to be completely consistent with the actual situation, and the pardon can be obtained. ”

Its intention is actually to adopt a divisive approach, pulling some officials to suppress some officials: even if it is a ** element, as long as you can hand over the black money you have made, it will be fine. As for the law-abiding leadership, it is possible not to pursue the gray income of the past. And for those who make black money and do not return the stolen goods, they will be resolutely cracked down.

The essence of this is to pardon corrupt officials in exchange for the implementation of the Sunshine Act.

In my heart, this expert's prescription is the best way to break the current political (reform) deadlock. Although this thing sounds a bit disgusting, in the face of the fact that the vast majority of officials oppose the Sunshine Act, we can only retreat.

According to this expert's method, that is, all the people in the country should move forward, not to worry too much about the past, especially the defects of the previous system, and not to let the leading cadres -- especially those who received "normal gray income" (very black sè humor) -- pay for the past policies and systems, as long as they spit out the past black sè income.

If we insist on treating a qiē gray sè income as illegal income, and insist on killing all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, then we don't know when the property disclosure will be implemented, and it will not be possible in another 10, 20, or 50 years.

Because officials blocking the implementation of a policy in all directions is not something that ordinary people can reverse, and even this policy cannot be released.

Guo Zhuocheng's current intention is to avoid this kind of embarrassment in his previous life, that is, to abolish privileges and strengthen supervision from now on, and at the same time to correspondingly improve the normal remuneration of leading cadres. Let them take money clearly, spend it clearly, enjoy it clearly, and save money clearly.

Whether it is to engage in high consumption, or to engage in high enjoyment, or to save a large amount of money into the bank, it is all above board, it is justifiable, and even makes the people envious.

On the one hand, we must not see the common people with a bitter face, and on the other hand, we must quietly take a lot of money and enjoy it secretly. In fact, the eyes of the common people are bright, and everyone knows whether officials are good or not, and this is how good it is to be an official from the previous life when so many people applied for the civil service examination and hundreds of people competed for a civil service position.

Guo Zhuocheng believes that if we start to build a clean and honest government for officials from now on, the cost will be much smaller than in the previous life, and the current officials are basically poor, and it would be good to have a new Shanghai brand watch and a brand-new Phoenix bicycle. At present, the vast majority of leading cadres do not have bonuses like ordinary workers, and even if they do have them in a few units, the amount is pitiful, and at most they are 5 or 10 yuan in bonuses.

The privileges of high-ranking officials are basically limited to having a car to sit on when they go out, and the unit is divided into slightly larger houses with slightly better floors.

If the higher authorities artificially raise the salaries of officials and ask them to sign a letter of commitment to clean government, require them to disclose their assets, and require them to promise not to accept gifts or ask for cards, they will gladly agree. Because it is extremely difficult to increase wages at this time, each level of salary increase is only a few yuan, but it only rises once in several years. If the state now increases their wages by a much greater rate than the increase in their working years, they will definitely approve of it with both hands, and feel from the bottom of their hearts that they have made a great profit.

However, Guo Zhuocheng did not express his thoughts now, he was just thinking in his heart, and what he talked about with Yu Gangqiu was only superficial, and what he talked about was all things that were in tune with this era, which was nothing more than strengthening supervision, strengthening the ideological education of cadres, and severely punishing some cadres who embezzled and embezzled public funds.

He didn't say anything about what was a big increase in wages, what was announced before promotion, what property was announced, and so on, because these were all taboo things. His thoughts were different from those of the old comrades. He only increased the salaries of all personnel, including cadres, in the three machine departments under his management, and the salaries of technical personnel increased the most, and the increase in the salaries of cadres was hidden among all the people, and did not highlight any difference in the salaries of cadres.

Just like that, he was counterattacked and questioned by Minister Xu and others. Fortunately, he did it with Shang Fang's sword, otherwise, maybe his policy would have been beaten back to its original shape before it was implemented, and his reform within the Third Machine Department might have died abruptly, and he would not even be able to sit in his position.

Guo Zhuocheng said in his heart: "It would be good if we could test it in one place first, and then promote it in an all-round way when it is successful." ”

Guo Zhuocheng, who came from a previous life, knew that many things that were good in theory may not be good in practice. Many policies that think that they will be able to produce results will be stable and that they will produce results once they are popularized in society, and all kinds of problems that they have not thought of will appear. As these problems arise, the effectiveness of this policy is diminished in people's minds, and the next step of promotion begins to become difficult. In many cases, good policies are not implemented in the end.

Yu Gangqiu was obviously also thinking about the problem, and asked for a long time: "Xiao Guo, why are you so serious about this issue?" Aren't our current policies and laws enough to prevent and supervise our officials? ”

Guo Zhuocheng saw that the topic was too strict, so he smiled and said: "I just felt it, and I didn't study it systematically. I just don't want our country to follow the old path of the USSR. ”

Yu Gangqiu asked in surprise: "The Soviet Union? And what happened to the USSR? If we put aside the emotional problem, if we treat the Soviet Union with a realistic attitude. I think they're still successful, at least they're the second most powerful country in the world now. ”

Guo Zhuocheng realized that he was getting farther and farther away, and now he could not say that the Soviet Union would collapse and disintegrate in the future, so he had to say: "I have heard from the outside that the internal problems of the Soviet Union are very strict, especially the relationship between the leaders and the masses is very bad, and the entire Soviet Union has become a social problem. ”

Yu Gangqiu asked: "Do you have a set of ideas for anti-**?" ”

Guo Shucheng hurriedly said: "No, I just think about it occasionally." Even if there are any ideas, they are only on paper at best, and I don't know what the real effect will be. ”

Guo Zhuocheng came from his previous life, and he was thinking about this matter when he was idle, although he did not have a set of mature ideas, but there was a set of ideas that were reasonable.

It's just that he doesn't want to say it now, it's not that he's pretending to be forced, and it's not for him to use it when he comes to power in the future, he's really not sure.
