Yang Xiuqing called Chen Dingtian in, and then directly began to ask: "Brother Chen, you say that our Heavenly Kingdom is actually just an exploitation that changes the soup but not the medicine?" ”

"That's right, you people take advantage of the system of using the Holy Treasury, and there are no rules for the use of this Holy Treasury, and even those who have the power can use the wealth of these Holy Vaults for their own personal affairs. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoEven those of you in power, I think you don't dare to say that there is no complete misappropriation, right? You're completely unsupervised, so that's the biggest problem. You are nominally a public ownership, but in fact you are not subject to supervision, not to mention that you officials are not able to reach such a high level of ideological realm, and all kinds of misappropriation and various problems will inevitably arise. Chen Dingtian said.

If public ownership is rashly and thoroughly carried out before the ideological realm has reached a certain level, the consequences of this will be unimaginable. Because it is easy to encourage corruption, and it is easy to allow those who have power in their hands to benefit for their own personal gain. Because such a method is actually very scary, especially since many problems are bound to arise. Because the progress is too fast, it's easy to get the egg. If you rush to move directly from private ownership to public ownership, those in high positions of power will have a lot of resources in their hands, and they will take advantage of the opportunity to make profits for themselves. This is because under the system of public ownership, those cadres hold a lot of power, but their ideological realm cannot keep up, and this will definitely cause problems.

This was also the case with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and later the Soviet Union, because the ideological realm could not keep up with the rash public ownership, and finally caused the management class to use the public wealth to enjoy it for themselves. Even under public ownership, exploitation is not necessarily easier for private ownership, because everyone is "shared", so how to distribute it is what the leader says, which is more troublesome.

Many systems may be good systems, but if there is a problem at the implementation level, isn't there no way to do this? The vast majority of the systems are no problem, and they all hope that the people will live well, but when it comes to the specific implementation level, each has its own interest orientation, and it may not be very good, on the contrary, it is very likely that the implementation and the original intention of the system are completely different.

Yang Xiuqing then asked: "Then you say, how can we completely eliminate exploitation?" ”

Chen Dingtian replied: "There is no way, there is no way to eliminate the exploitation thing, what can only be changed is the exploitation method and the object of exploitation, and the people who enjoy this exploitation." Originally, it was the landlords who carried out the exploitation, and those who enjoyed the exploitation in this way were the landlords, and it was the peasants who were exploited. As for the factories in the West, it is the workers who are exploited, and it is the merchant capitalists who enjoy the exploitation. Of course, the government's taxation is actually a kind of exploitation, through which the salary and treatment needs of the army and various public officials are maintained and the needs of the army. Even outright public ownership cannot completely change the outcome of exploitation, because it must be managed by a group of people who are separated from production and from front-line production, and these managers enjoy exploitation. However, the essential difference from the past, that is, their ideological realm and power have been greatly supervised, and the degree of exploitation is also very limited, and it will not be like the huge private wealth of the past. ”

Chen Dingtian believes that exploitation may only be curbed to the minimum, but it cannot be absolutely eliminated. Because as long as there are still people who are separated from the first-line production and separated from the first-line production for off-line management, it must be an act of appropriating surplus value. In fact, this kind of exploitation is also a kind of exploitation, of course, this kind of exploitation is a kind of progress, it is through one's own ability to gain the trust and support of others, not to rely on the means of production for free appropriation, but to pay one's own talents to be responsible for management and everyone's trust, and cannot inherit the status and exploitation tools.

Therefore, as long as there are full-time management personnel, a certain degree of exploitation cannot be completely eliminated. But without the person in charge of management, that is impossible. Therefore, Chen Dingtian does not think that exploitation will disappear completely, and can only desperately curb it to the lowest point, but it cannot disappear completely.

"Brother Yang, in fact, if you want me to say that you want to engage in this holy treasury so radically, but in the end, you find that the holy treasury has not achieved the desired result at all. The Sacred Treasury became a place for the powerful to take it casually, but it was bound to be a non-standard demand. When the time comes, it will only be more and more, and in the end it will be unbearable. ”

"Actually, of course, I don't think it's unreasonable for you to ask for these things, but you have to ask for them reasonably, and the things you ask for can be worthy of your efforts. And there should be standards, not no standards. Such a non-standard demand is actually more terrible than the exploitation of private ownership. ”

"You must know that even if it is a concubine of the Manchu court, there is a prescribed amount, and it will not be taken casually. If you don't have a standard claim, it will only cause more trouble in the end, and if you compare with each other, it will be a greater loss. ”

Chen Dingtian actually took out reasonable wealth from the Holy Treasury for these high-ranking members of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as their own death, which was actually relatively reasonable. Even if it's public ownership, can't you not let people eat? But the most taboo is the arbitrary abuse of shared wealth without supervision, and the most taboo is not open and transparent. Chen Dingtian has seen many situations in later generations, many of which have caused a lot of suspicion because the use of taxes and finances by governments at all levels is not open and transparent. In fact, the people are not incomprehensible, even if you take 10,000 steps back and say that you give benefits to public servants, then this is understandable to a certain extent. In fact, the key is to be open and transparent, and to be transparent and let everyone know that they should not be so secretive. If you are so secretive and not open and transparent, how can you make the people trust you? What's more, there is another that is, your income should be worthy of your pay, if you don't pay much, but the income is obviously excessive, this is also something that everyone can't understand.

An opaque, and much more to gain than to give, is what the people do not understand. This Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is even more so, those high-level people pay less, but they borrow this sacred treasury system to enjoy it. There are not even various quotas, and it is a complete state of confusion. What's more, people are all comparable, these powerful people who can ask for the wealth of the Holy Treasury at will, once they can ask for it casually without a limit, once the comparison becomes a trend, the consequences are even more unimaginable. Originally, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom officials demanded the wealth in the sacred treasury, and this may also be a vicious circle. Once one person asks for more, other people of the same level will also be unwilling, and will ask for more, and finally another group of people will be unwilling and ask for more again. In this way, once a vicious circle of comparison is formed, can it not cause decay?

"So, Brother Yang, since exploitation cannot be completely eliminated, it is better to simply open the exploitation. Disclose a limit to reassure everyone. As long as there is a limit to the openness of justice, then in fact, the people also understand. As long as the exploitation is reasonable, not excessive, then the people can understand. Of course, your so-called income should also be worthy of your efforts. Otherwise, if you just want to get it for free, but you don't pay anything, then you will definitely rot. Especially now that this trend has already begun, if we don't hurry up and stop the precipice, the consequences will be unimaginable. Taking advantage of the fact that this decadent atmosphere has not yet begun to spread in large numbers, it is better to quickly rein in the precipice. ”

"Since it is impossible to completely eliminate exploitation, it is better to let them compete openly and fairly. By setting standards, through meritorious service to obtain the corresponding rewards. How much merit is given, openly and fairly, according to the standard award. What status, position, and level of people can get how much income can be listed openly and fairly. And how many additional rewards can be obtained for how many things have been done, so that it is also an open and fair list, which can not only stimulate everyone to work hard, but also will not cause excessive greed and unearned gains. As for the ordinary people, they can also pay this public grain tax with peace of mind, not because they think that the public grain they pay has also been appropriated by you corrupt officials and corrupt officials without compensation. ”

Chen Dingtian said so much, in fact, it is a key point, that is, instead of being greedy without standards and vicious comparisons, it is better to simply disclose the standards and the criteria for obtaining rewards. Publicize the salary standards of officials, establish a reasonable reward system, and stimulate those officials of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to work hard, instead of thinking about using power to get something for nothing. If you do more and do more effectively, you can get additional rewards, and formulate corresponding standard evaluations to issue additional rewards. Such an open and fair distribution is much better than the vague use of power to devour. What's more, an open and fair distribution is conducive to making the people feel comfortable paying taxes and public grain, and they will not think that the taxes and public grain they have paid have been wantonly wasted by those officials.

In fact, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had a lot of problems, of course, this may be the reason for being too idealistic, and it is also the result of too radical progress. The failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was due to a number of reasons, not only the side effects of religious factors, but also the consequences of the social system and radical progress that was too idealistic, which is the limitation of history.

Chen Dingtian hoped to help the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom resolve this historical limitation as much as possible and avoid the mistakes they had made in their previous history. While a large amount of decay has not yet begun, hurry up and rein in the precipice. Because in the face of insufficient overseeing power, these officials of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom wantonly demanded common wealth for private enjoyment, and used power to satisfy their abnormal selfish desires. The giving is far less than what is obtained, and even the demand without any standard is easy to cause a situation where comparison and comparison with each other and even luxury become a trend. In fact, this kind of experience has long existed, although in ancient times, although the royal family was to provide for the people of the world, but the concubines and princesses and princesses obtained the "monthly rules" every month are also fixed, which is actually to avoid irregularities, which causes them to make ends meet. Even the Manchu Emperor knew about this matter, and he couldn't let those concubines, princesses, and princesses ask for it excessively, but under the cover of the nominal public ownership, it became an excuse for those high-level officials of the Taiping Army to ask for it casually, and even compared with each other, accelerating the decay.

Yang Xiuqing sat on the chair, then sighed helplessly, and said, "It seems that my idea is really difficult to realize?" Back then, I dreamed of establishing a true kingdom of heaven, but now it seems that the kingdom of heaven will always be the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of the Arabian Nights! You're right, it seems that I'm taking it for granted. I may not even be able to control myself, and now that I think about it, if I do continue like this, maybe I will also go down that path of unbridled demand. If I ask myself now, if I can indulge in indulgence, will I do the same? ”

"The kings below have already begun to do this, and they have begun to indulge in indulgence, and I am not unaware. But I turned a blind eye to appease them. In fact, I also have this benefit, if it weren't for your reminder, I am afraid that we will go further and further on this wrong path, and finally there is no hope. Maybe you're right, but it's a fantasy to build a true 'kingdom of heaven' in a short period of time! We can't overestimate the selfishness of human beings too much, and now ask ourselves carefully and seriously, can I control my own selfishness? If my selfish expansion is not stopped in time, then I may really be like the rotten officials of the past, or even more terrible than what they did. ”

Chen Dingtian knew that Yang Xiu's liquidation had come to an understanding, at this time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had just entered Jiangning City, and although all kinds of decadent styles had some beginnings, they were not able to spread wildly. However, the original history of those decadent styles has been widely spread, from the top to the bottom, coupled with the unreasonable holy treasury system, so that those who hold power are even more fearless to pull out the wealth of the common wealth for their own enjoyment. Use your power to gain benefits for yourself, and once this decadent style begins to spread, the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will also rot to the roots.

At this time, Chen Dingtian hoped to take advantage of the fact that their decadent style had not yet been widely spread or even just begun, and quickly reined in the precipice, so as to avoid continuing to expand selfish desires and vanity comparisons, and even more to avoid excessive and unrestrained solicitation of common wealth for his own personal interests, so as to curb the decay of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to a great extent.

Since exploitation cannot be completely avoided, it is better to turn exploitation without standards and unlimited to become open, standardized, and limited exploitation, so that no matter whether the people at the bottom can accept it, and openly set standards to compete fairly, it is better than exploitation without standards and unlimited or even transparent at all.
