Yang Xiaolin is not the kind of person who refuses to listen to what is said, not to mention that what Liang Qichao said is very reasonable, and the openness of finances is the least bridge of trust between the government and the people.

If China is a big business, then the taxpayers are shareholders in the company, they give the money to the government to run it, and they get the dividends they deserve in the operation. When the business is running smoothly, everyone can get more or less benefits, and the contradiction may not be so prominent, but once the development of the enterprise has one difficulty or another, if the shareholders do not know anything about your finances, they will imagine all kinds of versions out of thin air, and your business may be doomed.

This is a profound lesson in the 21st century, and many countries have made mistakes on this issue. Because you can't have smooth sailing, even if there are no external reasons, you can't avoid internal problems.

For example, if an official raises something beautiful, how do you explain it? You tell the taxpayer that the official earned the money to raise Meimei himself? Or do you say that Meimei's money has nothing to do with officials? Isn't that a joke?

You can deal with an official with harsh means, but there are too many such officials, how do you make taxpayers believe that the money these people spend on the United States is not their hard-earned money? No matter how thunderous your means are, it is useless, and if you catch one, it means that you admit that there is another official who took the taxpayers' hard-earned money and spent it himself!

Disclosure of local government revenues and expenditures and letting taxpayers know where the money is being spent is the key to winning the trust of the people and ensuring that officials do not go too far. A highway has been repaired for hundreds of millions, and it has collapsed after three days of heavy rain, how did you spend these hundreds of millions Taxpayers can't ask?

After all, if the government plans to build the road, it will be publicized and everyone will be told how much the road is going to cost, and how much of that money will be used for workers' wages. How much is used for land acquisition, and how much is spent on what materials to buy, it is estimated that even if something happens, the people will first aim the contradiction at the construction party, and will not find any trouble with your government.

The consequence of not saying it is that they immediately think about it, and which leader will spend the least amount of these billions of billions for the United States. By the time you've dealt with a group of responsible people, those taxpayers will say, "Look, we guessed right. ”

In the long run, taxpayers feel that it is a fool's errand for them to give you money to spend on the beauties. They think about not being a fool and paying taxes honorably. It is always a slogan hanging in the tax hall.

Of course, Yang Xiaolin will not let all taxpayers have the right to check the government's accounts, so many taxpayers in the country, as the economic conditions improve, there will definitely be more, you check one day, I will check one day, and the government will have to form a special team to deal with them.

The method he adopted is that individuals and enterprises with an annual tax payment of more than 30 percent of their income will have the right to listen to special reports on the government's work at the end of each year, and they will see the government's detailed financial statements at the same time as they listen to the reports.

During that time, they can make detailed inquiries about the government's revenue and expenditure. The government must answer. After this period, if they don't know much about the operation of a particular project, they can apply to the government to see the accounts a month in advance. If there is any objection to a certain account, it can be reported to the government department at a higher level. Or directly report to the Ministry of Economic Development.

In other words, China is not equal now, although Yang Xiaolin shouted that he guaranteed the rights of the people at the bottom, but he only guaranteed the right of these people to live. When you reach a certain stage of income, you will have to pay taxes, and the minimum is 8%. This figure is also the figure of the basic salary of government employees. By paying this tax, you have the right to make a proposal to the government, which will give you a statement every year. You can fill in your government's expectations and grievances, and someone will look at them specifically.

When your tax payment reaches 15 percent, you can attend an annual meeting of the local government, where you can confront the officials, question them, and get them to give a clear explanation of what you are not happy about.

When the tax payment reaches 30 percent, you have the right to check the government's projects, and you can also ask for a taxpayers' congress to raise a motion of no confidence in the government and question the actions of a certain official. Although your distrust and doubts may not be taken up by the government, if you raise them, the official must go to the higher level of government to explain.

Chen Tianhua once told Yang Xiaolin that he hoped that the no-confidence proposal would be used by the government to measure an official's performance, that is, as long as local taxpayers raised a distrust, it would affect the official's promotion.

Yang Xiaolin didn't listen to Chen Tianhua. What Chen Tianhua said is very reasonable, maybe this measurement method is the simplest, but Yang Xiaolin is worried that this will be the same as asking for a zero petition rate in the future. Officials will do everything they can to stop those people from filing a no-confidence motion, trust them, they have the means.

As for what to use to measure the level of an official and decide whether he should be promoted or resigned, Commander Yang really didn't think of it now. So his government is still not perfect.

At the last minute, China's current maximum tax payment is 40 percent, and only a few dozen entrepreneurs in the country can meet this standard, and these people's rights are even greater. Once a year, Beijing convenes a symposium and invites them to Beijing to discuss the country's next development strategy.

In other words, as long as you are eligible to pay 40% of your income, and you have a good plan, you can influence the direction of national policy.

Yang Xiaolin's practice is the model of our people's congress in the future, and it is basically the same. The only difference is that the people's representatives are elected by the people, and Yang Xiaolin, the representative, does not need to be elected, and it is hard and fast, depending on your tax payment.

The only special case was for those foreign merchants.

When China's economy began to grow, the momentum attracted the interest of many foreign businessmen, many of whom had already set up their own factories in China, including Philips, which also opened a branch factory in China. A considerable number of them have obtained Chinese nationality for themselves, so that they can enjoy China's policy of supporting and caring for local enterprises.

For these people, Yang Xiaolin made it clear that they must pay taxes for more than ten years before they can be qualified to represent Chinese taxpayers.

China's system is now such an unfair trapezoid, and the only people who can enjoy democracy are the rich who pay more than a certain share of taxes. As for ordinary people, after their lives have improved a little, in fact, there has not been the slightest change in their social status, and the days when the people will be the masters of their own affairs still seem to be far away.

In contrast, Comrade Trotsky's footsteps were much more resolute than those of Comrade Yang Xiaolin.

After the occupation of St. Petersburg by the comrades. The revolutionary enthusiasm is very high! But the revolution also faced a severe test, and more than 2 million troops of Nicholas II were about to return from a counteroffensive, and Kerensky began to recruit troops in Belarus. Internally, enthusiasm cannot be eaten, and life without bread is about to be settled, but without vodka it is unbearable, and the struggle of comrades is facing internal and external troubles.

In such a situation, Comrade Trotsky did not flinch, he rushed forward with a fearless spirit! At home, Trotsky proposed that the working and peasant class was the leader of the proletarian regime, and he proposed that everything in the state should belong to the workers and peasants. For the rest of the domestic forces, Trotsky chose to strike mercilessly!

Countless intellectuals were classified as capitulationists, entrepreneurs who did not have time to flee were branded exploiters even if they handed over all their property, and even the slightly richer free peasants were condemned as landlords. Trotsky issued a directive in St. Petersburg that in the present situation all the working people of Russia should unite and bring down the enemies of the proletariat by thunder, and let those who want to turn the heavens upside down go to hell!

This turned the area in Trotsky's hands into hell, and even Belarus and Nicholas II were attacked. Nicholas II really wanted to do it right away. But let Trotsky do this, he didn't dare to move! Kerensky did not dare to move, because the workers and peasants and the soldiers in their territory were actively responding to Trotsky's call, and at this time they did not dare to pull the troops out of the city to fight.

It's just that if Russia is in chaos, the problem is simple. The point is that Trotsky's trumpet was quite loud, and he demanded that not only the Russian proletariat rise up and resist, but also the entire proletariat of the world to rise up and resist for freedom!

The Germans were a little slower to react, and as a result, mass demonstrations broke out in Berlin immediately. Britain is thinking that Russia should be far away from me, and it should be fine. But the British textile workers went on strike, fighting for their rights on the one hand, and showing solidarity with the Russian workers on the other!

Trotsky's ideas swept into the capitalist countries of the West like a flood. All of Europe was not spared, and even the United States across the ocean was hit like a tsunami. Workers in New York fought in solidarity with Russian workers and clashed with American police officers in the streets, resulting in the death of a dozen people and the wounding of hundreds.

For a while, all the countries panicked, and they realized at this time that whether it was the Central Powers or the Entente Powers, maybe their common enemy had appeared.

As early as a week ago, Yang Xiaolin forced the Chinese media not to report on the events in Russia, and even violated the conventions of the international press by going to the newspapers of Britain, France, and other countries to forcibly delete the news about the Russian Revolution.

At that time, this practice really aroused strong dissatisfaction and protests from Britain, France and other countries, and even Sa Daoyi personally came to Yang Xiaolin, strongly condemned this barbaric act of the Chinese government, and said that London would reserve the right to further investigate.

Now Sa Daoyi doesn't think like this, the first thing he does after returning from the German embassy is to habitually pick up the newspaper on the table and read: "Hell! There is not a single word in the Chinese newspapers about the events in Russia! This beast is so fucking smart! ”

Mr. Sadaoyi began to explode into foul language, but one can imagine how anxious he was now. The workers are making trouble, and if it's an ordinary strike, it's not the first time Britain has experienced a workers' strike, and they have several options to deal with it.

But the present situation is that the workers should learn from the Russian workers to be the masters of their own affairs, is there any talk of this? What London regrets most now is why it didn't impose press restrictions like China did in the first place? (To be continued......)
