211 New functions (I)

r>

At the end of October, after carefully reading Yang Lian's recital on second-level supervision, he decided to ask a few people in the Supervisory Yuan what they meant, and also wanted to see by the way whether the newly established Supervisory Yuan could perform its functions. In the past few days since Yang Lian's return, after careful discussions with other people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he believes that second-level supervision can be implemented within a certain range. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. Since the large-scale implementation of second-level supervision on a large scale throughout the country will produce a large number of troubles, Yang Lian cautiously requested that second-level supervision be implemented only in places where he is sure, and made a specific statement after knowing that Tianqi was interested.

The so-called second-level supervision means that the supervisor also needs to be subject to strict supervision, after which the supervisor cannot be as loose or strict as he wants. For example, Zhang San's previous position was to supervise whether everyone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate went to work on time, and those who were late or left early according to the regulations would be punished by Fan Wuwen, and those who were absent without reason would be Fan Baiwen. In the past, Zhang San was impeached when he implemented this system, and those who had a good relationship could turn a blind eye, those who had an average relationship would be warned to sell personal favors, and those who had a bad relationship would be directly fanned by doing official business.

The result of Zhang San's doing this is to make people who have a bad relationship with him feel unfair, and slowly make the attendance system of the Metropolitan Procuratorate gradually become a dead letter, and in order to stop the occurrence of these phenomena, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will continue to introduce more systems, which makes the system of the Metropolitan Procuratorate more and more. However, under Zhang San's bomb management, the new system, like the old system, has slowly become a footcloth that can be used if you want to use it, and thrown aside if you don't want to use it, and it has also become a fig leaf for Zhang San to ask for benefits in private, but on the surface of the self-proclaimed selflessness.

The ♀ reason why Zhang Sanzhi and his ilk do this is that the power in his hands is not supervised, and the other is that if he is selfless and selfless, he will offend many people, and it is better to make some benefits while playing management. Unchecked power is avoided.

In response to the matter of selfless offending people, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, after careful discussion, decided to adopt a reverse penalty to make up for the loss of its own interests, and urge the supervisors to strictly enforce the law. For example, the overseer Zhang San used to fine a friend 50 yuan, and the friend would think that he had lost face and broke off his friendship, and in order to maintain the friendship relationship, Zhang San was likely to turn a blind eye to his friend's violations. After the implementation of the second-level supervision, if Zhang San did not fine his friend's money, he himself had to pay the fine for his friend, and not only that, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate would also collect another 50 yuan from Zhang San for dereliction of duty to reward his friend, because his friend found out that an incompetent supervisor should be rewarded.

In the past, the penalizer would be embarrassed because his friend suffered a loss, so many law enforcers would choose to enforce the law because he would not have a loss if he did not punish him. Now if he doesn't punish him, he will suffer double losses, and his friend will not only not lose but will also be rewarded for it, at this time, it should be his friend who is embarrassed, and Zhang San, the law enforcer, can also be confident and strictly enforce the law without making people feel unkind.

Tianqi carefully looked at the recital presented by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and also figured out the details in it, and found that Yang Lian made sense. Second-level supervision is indeed a good way to implement a system, but this method is too strict and inflexible, and it is prone to a lot of troubles, especially when the system itself is not perfect. Before the use of second-level supervision, it is necessary to revise many existing systems to make them relaxed, reasonable, simple, and convenient, so as to avoid the blame for human movement.

The law of the Ming Dynasty is the law set by Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he believes that future generations will ensure that the Ming Dynasty will be guaranteed for thousands of years if they use this law well. What he didn't know was that society was constantly developing and progressing, and a Da Ming law had taken hundreds of years to seriously affect the pace of social progress.

Over the past year or so, Apocalypse has only adjusted some institutions that he thinks are reasonable, and made some minor changes in some aspects, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of some people, and they have all proposed to restore the old system when they oppose it, which shows that it is difficult to change the old thinking for a while. Now, if you want to revise the Da Ming Law with great fanfare, it is estimated that more opposition will be heard before you can do it, and no one will be on your side. Because Zhu Yuanzhang left a message, saying that as long as any courtier proposes to revise the Da Ming Law, then this courtier is a chaotic minister and a thief, and everyone will be punished, and in this case, Tianqi needs to be cautious and ingenious.

On this day, he came to the prison house, because he knew in advance that he would come, so King Xin, Liu Zongzhou, Gao Panlong, Xu Guangqi and others were there, and everyone bowed and sat down to talk. Seeing that the apocalypse was calm, King Xin asked, "What is on the emperor's mind?" The younger brother is discussing with them these days to see if there is a need to make a division of labor, is the royal brother here for running a school and other things? ”

Apocalypse said: "I haven't been here for so long, let's see how you are doing today, it seems that you are doing well, let's talk about how you are going to divide the labor first." ”

King Xin nodded and said: "In the past, things were done and then dealt with, which made it very busy to be very busy, but later the imperial brother set up a pre-government office for the government affairs to plan in advance, and the problem of being extremely busy and idle was solved at once. This year, the Imperial Brother has repeatedly asked us to talk about various ideas, such as not taking the golden mean of keeping pace with the times, and the direction of development for the sake of human freedom and equality between people. ”

Tianqi smiled: "You have said so much and have not seen specific things, since you said that ideas are implemented in specific affairs, then talk specifically about your specific division of labor and specific considerations." ”

Shinwang said: "First of all, the Supervisory Yuan is preparing to establish supervisory or auxiliary administrative institutions at the provincial, prefectural, and county levels, because this can solve the problem of the ability and supervision of officials, and although this is the business of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, other departments can also benefit from it. For example, the pre-administration department of the Government Affairs Yuan, we must know the actual needs of ordinary people in order to know how to plan in advance, and after the implementation of various policies, we also need to know whether the people like or dislike them. ”

Apocalypse nodded and said, "These words of yours are very reasonable, can the Holy Academy and the Bo Academy also benefit from the gradual establishment of auxiliary political institutions?" ”

King Xin said: "Of course, the imperial brother agreed with the words of Deng Yuhan, a Taixi man a while ago, and believed that equality and freedom are the direction of development for people. The ministers believe that since it is equality, there is no innate distinction between high and low, and everyone can become a gentry, a businessman, and even a general and a governor, so this equality and freedom should be aimed at every Ming people. ”

Tianqi asked: "King Xin's view of the problem is very comprehensive now, but can you tell me how the Government Council follows the golden mean in handling affairs?" ”

King Xin asked puzzledly: "The younger brother thinks that the golden mean is only a rough grasp, as long as he does not go to extremes in handling affairs, and at the same time he has to listen and think more, can he still have rules to follow in the specific application?" ”

Apocalypse says: "Anything theoretically that exists only in generalizations and general assumptions will inevitably produce specious explanations." For example, after Buddhism was introduced to Middle-earth, because there was no clear doctrinal provision, it was divided into Zen Buddhism, Tiantai Buddhism, Huayan Buddhism and other sects; There is also a distinction between the New Testament and the Old Testament. The golden mean can be summed up by not going extreme and advancing with the times, but there must be corresponding means in the handling of specific affairs∞ as I said before, all government affairs of the Ming Dynasty can not be simply judged by right and wrong, many of the previous right may be wrong now, and the right now may be wrong in the future. ”

King Xin thought for a while and said, "Please make it clear to the imperial brother, what means should the Government Council use to regulate it in the future?" ”

Apocalypse said: "You have already said at the beginning that the Holy Academy and the Liberal Arts Academy should use the idea of freedom and equality to consider all the people, and whether they are general or specific ideas, they must finally be carried out by the Government Council. As for how to adjust the gap, the only two tools available are equality and fairness. ”

King Shin whispered to himself, "Gap? Means? Equal? Fair? ”

Tianqi said: "You think about it slowly, and after you figure it out, there will be no things ♀ you don't understand, and some questions belong to the general idea, Lord Liu thinks there is anything wrong with what I said?" ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "What the emperor said is good to grasp the gap, this point of view was communicated with Zhu Yanxi Zhu who came to contact the affairs in the Holy Academy, and Lord Zhu said that he had talked with the emperor about the gap for a while. The minister thinks that it is indeed possible to solve some problems by grasping the gap, but it is not so absolute, as for the two means of equality and fairness that the emperor said, the minister can't figure it out for a while, so please let the emperor explain it in detail. ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "I did have a brief conversation with Lord Zhu about the gap back then, but the conditions were not ripe at that time, and it was just talking, now that there is a holy academy, we should study the gap issue thoroughly, so that the consideration without specific data for reference can be concretized∞ which means that the sacred academy should make a survey and comparison across the country, and make a reasonable setting for the difference in wealth of different people such as farmers, artisan households, merchants, and officials, and make a reasonable setting for future planning." ”
