I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

The comments are still going on:

"Not to mention the uncontrollability of genetic modification, nor genetic pollution, if the technology is really mature and genes can be modified at will, then the class solidification and the gap between the rich and the poor will be so large that it is unimaginable."

"Reply - Yes, if it is really that time, when their offspring are still embryos, the rich can modify their IQ, appearance, physical fitness, etc. to ensure that all the offspring born are outstanding. The poor cannot afford genetic modification and can only rely on natural mutation. How can they compete with others?"

"Reply - Competition? That is an all-round crushing. The offspring of the poor are not even worthy of competition and can only be inferior people for the rest of their lives."

"..."

When the ancients of all dynasties saw these comments, they were shocked and had different thoughts.

The poor people naturally felt that such a situation was too terrible.

And most of the kings, generals, wealthy people, etc. thought that it would be great if it could be like this, and they would no longer worry about the next generation of prodigals.

The reason why it is most but not all is that among these ancient rentiers, some people think that this may not be a good thing.

After all, completely solidified classes and excessive gap between the rich and the poor will most likely eventually lead to large-scale social conflicts, just like the peasant rebellion at the end of the dynasty that they are familiar with.

……

[What He Jiankui did at that time seriously challenged human ethical emotions. ]

[Later, the state arrested He Jiankui and convicted him of a crime: illegal medical practice. ]

[Based on this charge, He Jiankui was finally sentenced to three years in prison and fined 3 million gold dragon coins. ]

……

"The punishment is so light?"

"He was not executed?"

Many ancient people in all dynasties were surprised.

They felt that this punishment was a bit too easy for He Jiankui.

Of course, this is mainly because they read the comments in the barrage, which are about the possibility of creating deformed monsters and the possibility of extinction of mankind, so they think He Jiankui is extremely evil.

……

[There is no doubt that He Jiankui should be punished by law. ]

[However, there was some controversy about the "illegal medical practice" that he was charged with at the time. ]

[Some people say that "gene editing of human embryos" does not count as practicing medicine, and some people say that He Jiankui does not take this as his profession. In short, they all think that He Jiankui does not apply to this crime. ]

[Strictly speaking, there is definitely no problem in charging him with "illegal medical practice", but it makes people feel a little weird. ]

[Therefore, later, my country's "Criminal Law Amendment (XI)" added a new crime: the crime of illegally implanting gene editing and cloning embryos. 】

[Article 336 of the Amendment states that if a gene-edited or cloned human embryo is implanted into a human or animal body, or a gene-edited or cloned animal embryo is implanted into a human body, if the circumstances are serious, a sentence of up to three years of fixed-term imprisonment or criminal detention shall be imposed, and a fine shall be imposed; if the circumstances are particularly serious, a sentence of three years of fixed-term imprisonment or criminal detention shall be imposed.The above shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of less than seven years and a fine. 】

[It is obvious that this new crime comes from the He Jiankui case and is completely aimed at his situation. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin nodded.

Time has changed, and the legal provisions need to be continuously improved.

After he ascended the throne, he spent eleven years revising the first law of the Tang Dynasty, the Wude Law, and finally promulgated the Zhenguan Law.

……

[Technology is not guilty, but those who disregard ethical and legal risks and wantonly abuse an immature technology on humans are definitely guilty. 】

[Scientists must first have a bottom line. They cannot do things that harm the world because of the pursuit of personal fame and fortune. The display of technology must first comply with ethics, otherwise the end result will be harming others and themselves. 】

……

After the last paragraph of the conclusion, the video is played.

……

On the giant screen in the sky.

The video is refreshed.

A new video appears.

[Anti-corruption weapon - Public disclosure system for civil servants' property! ]

As soon as these few large characters appeared on the giant screen in the sky, they instantly attracted great attention from many emperors of all dynasties.

The civil servants of later generations were officials of their respective dynasties, and the emperors had known this before.

So this "anti-corruption weapon" is equivalent to targeting the corruption of officials.

And the corruption of court officials has always been a difficult problem in all dynasties.

Even if you kill corrupt officials like Zhu Yuanzhang, you still can't kill all corrupt officials.

Therefore.

At this time, the four words "anti-corruption weapon" made Zhu Yuanzhang and other emperors who hated corruption very interested in the content of the next video.

They were very curious about what this public disclosure system for civil servants’ assets was?

Why was it called an anti-corruption weapon?

As these emperors paid close attention, the main video began to play.

……

[In foreign countries, the official property disclosure system is also known as the "Sunshine Law", which is a recognized anti-corruption weapon.]

[Many countries have established a complete property disclosure system.]

[Currently, among the 195 sovereign states in the world, 138 countries have incorporated the "public disclosure system for civil servants' property" into law, including both developed and developing countries.]

……

Seeing this.

Many emperors of all dynasties were surprised.

After this calculation, more than 70% of later countries have adopted the public disclosure system for civil servants' property.

This proportion is not low.

Next.

These emperors are more looking forward to the public disclosure system for civil servants' property.

There are so many countries in the future who have chosen to implement this system at the same time, which undoubtedly shows that this system must have its own advantages.

……

[Former Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew once said: "If a country does not establish a public disclosure system for civil servants' assets, then the country's anti-corruption efforts can only be like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water."]

[And Singapore is indeed the light of Asia in terms of anti-corruption.]

[According to the latest 2023 Global Corruption Perception Index (CPI) released by Transparency International, an international anti-corruption watchdog, Singapore ranks fifth in the world with a high score of 83, tied with Sweden, and is the only country in Asia to be among the top ten.]

[But what many people don't know is that after Singapore gained independence in 1965, there was also widespread corruption at the beginning.]

[So why did Singapore go from a country with rampant corruption to a globally recognized clean government?]

[There are many reasons, but the public disclosure system for civil servants' assets proposed by Lee Kuan Yew is undoubtedly one of the most important reasons. 】

……

"It's so effective?"

In the dimension of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes sparkled.

This public disclosure system for civil servants' property can turn a corrupt country into an honest country.

The effect is immediate.

Zhu Yuanzhang instantly thought:

If it can be implemented in the Ming Dynasty, can the corruption problem of Ming officials be completely solved?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little excited.

……

[So. ]

[What exactly is the public disclosure system for civil servants' property? ]

[How is this system implemented in various countries? ]

[Today, UP will talk to you about this issue. ]

……

Many ancient people in all dynasties looked at the giant screen in the sky with more concentration.

They are looking forward to the next content.

Among these ancient people, there are not only many emperors from all dynasties, but also countless ordinary people.

Emperors do not like corrupt officials, and ordinary people do not like it even more.

……

[The so-called public disclosure system of civil servants' property, as the name suggests, refers to the system in which civil servants disclose their personal property and property increase and decrease changes to their units and the whole society in accordance with the law. ]

[Under this system, everyone can know the property of civil servants through public channels. ]

[The system aims to promote the integrity and self-discipline of civil servants and prevent the occurrence of corruption. It also helps to supervise the behavior of public officials and improve the credibility and transparency of civil servants. ]

……

"Let officials disclose their property to the whole world!"

"This...this..."

The ancient people of all dynasties were directly stunned.

They never thought that there would be such a system in the world.

Especially ordinary people of all dynasties, they found it incredible.

How is it possible to ask officials to disclose their assets? How can they be willing to do so?

It is really hard for them to imagine!

But.

If this is really possible, then the common people will naturally agree with it.

On the other hand.

Officials from all dynasties were shocked.

In the later countries that implemented the public disclosure system for civil servants' property, officials had to disclose their property?

Too much!

Too much!

Ordinary people know that wealth should not be exposed, so how can they ask officials to disclose their property?

It's ridiculous!

In a short while, many officials were extremely disgusted with the public disclosure system for civil servants' property.

Of course, there are also some officials who have always been honest and think that there is nothing wrong with public disclosure of property.

…

The plane of Taizu of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed.

This system is wonderful!

After officials disclose their property to the world, once an official does something that is not in line with his financial resources, it will be easily discovered.

However,

What if officials conceal information?

How to issue and deal with it?

For a moment, many details flashed through Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

……

[Speaking of the public disclosure system of civil servants' property, it actually has a long history. ]

[In 1766, Sweden became the first country in the world to implement the public disclosure system for civil servants' property. ]

[Citizens of Sweden have obtained the right to inquire about the property and tax status of all officials. ]

[Any citizen of Sweden has the right to view the property and tax list of government officials and even royal family members]

[By the way, at that time, my country was still in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. ]

……

"Can ordinary people even check the property status of royal family members?"

The ancients of all dynasties were shocked again.

Among them.

Many royal family members of all dynasties were instantly angry and denounced the absurdity and unreasonableness of the public disclosure system for civil servants' property.

As for the reasons, they are nothing more than saying that there are high and low positions and that the property situation is a private secret.

Anyway, they will never tell the reason that will expose their corruption.

……

[117 years later, in 1883, the British Parliament passed a law on the declaration of officials' property, called the "Election Purification and Anti-Corruption Law", which formally legislated the public property disclosure system for the first time. ]

[In the following period, the public property disclosure system for civil servants was gradually extended to many countries. ]

[Finally, there are 138 countries in the world today that implement this system. ]

[Although the general principles are the same, all civil servants' property is disclosed, but the specific implementation is different. ]

[Next, let's take a closer look at the specific implementation of several countries. ]

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked more and more seriously.

This system of public property disclosure for officials, he found it very interesting.

It is indeed very useful in combating official corruption.

Therefore.

He was very concerned about how to implement this system.

It would be best if the Tang Dynasty could learn from some specific practices of later countries.

……

[I just gave the example of Singapore, so let's take a look at Singapore first. ]

[According to Singapore's "Code of Conduct and Discipline for Civil Servants", every civil servant must fill out a property declaration list for the property and investment status of himself, his spouse, children and other family members when he is hired, and go to the notary office set up by the court for review and be signed by the designated oath officer. ]

[The official text of the notary office is kept by the personnel department of the department to which the declarant belongs, and a copy is kept in the notary office of the court. ]

[In addition, on January 2nd of each year, you must fill out a personal financial form to state your financial situation. ]

[The declaration includes interest income from stocks, real estate, deposits and other aspects owned by you, as well as the property and investment under the name of your spouse and children who rely on him for support. 】

【If there is any change in family property, a property change declaration list should be filled out, stating the reason for the change, and replacing the original property list. 】

……

“．〃 Even the property of the rest of the family must be made public?”

The ancients of all dynasties were shocked.

Singapore’s requirements are really strict.

……

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes lit up:

“This is good!”

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the system of Singapore could be learned by the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, when officials of the Ming Dynasty serve as officials for the first time, they can also do the same.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao:

"Boss, what do you think about implementing this official property disclosure system in the Ming Dynasty?"

"It's good, but I'm afraid that officials all over the world will not be willing to do it."

Zhu Biao replied honestly.

The system is a good system, but it will definitely cause opposition from officials.

Hearing Zhu Biao's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang replied calmly:

"As long as he is an honest official with a clear conscience, how can he not be willing?"

"If any official is not willing, he must be a corrupt official!"

At this point, a sharp light flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

For corrupt officials, his knife is always very fast.

Although the murderous intent in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed, it was still discovered by Zhu Biao.

He instantly remembered his father Zhu Yuanzhang's deep hatred for corrupt officials.

"Dad, what if someone doesn't report it honestly?"

Zhu Biao asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just thought about this question.

"The Jinyiwei will verify it."

"Anyone who reports falsely is deceiving the emperor and is sentenced to death!"

Zhu Yuanzhang replied murderously.

……

[Each department needs to review each property declaration form,If there is any illegal source of property, it will be immediately handed over to the Anti-Corruption Investigation Bureau for investigation. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Is this the crime of huge amounts of property of unknown origin? Does Singapore also have this crime?"

"Reply - It's not surprising. Punishing public officials who cannot reasonably explain the source of huge amounts of property is not unique to our country. Many countries have similar laws. Of course, the specific crime may not be "huge amounts of property of unknown origin", but "corruption" or something like that."

"Reply - "In fact, the crime of huge amounts of property of unknown origin" combined with the property disclosure system will double the effect, hehe."

"Reply - What's more interesting about Singapore is that it still implements the system of reversal of the burden of proof."

"Reply - What does it mean?"

"Reply - It means that if you suspect that you have an unknown source of property, you have to prove your innocence yourself, instead of the state investigating whether you are innocent. If you can't prove it, then you're in big trouble."

"..."

The Great Ming Taizu plane.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.

This "huge amount of property with unknown sources" is really good.

Any property that officials cannot explain the source of is all obtained through corruption and bribery.

Zhu Yuanzhang has automatically skipped the word "huge".

Looking at the giant screen and thinking again.

Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that adding a system of publicizing officials' property would definitely deter corrupt officials and crack down on corruption.

……

[Well, the Anti-Corruption Investigation Bureau is an anti-corruption agency specially established in Singapore, which is responsible for investigating and handling corruption among officials. ]

[All senior officials of this department are appointed by the Prime Minister of Singapore and are directly responsible to the Prime Minister. ]

……

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di's heart moved slightly.

The Ming Dynasty can also establish such an agency.

With a dedicated agency, corrupt officials can be better cracked down on.

Even Zhu Di had already thought about where the personnel of this organization would come from?

He just selected elites from the Jinyiwei to establish this organization.
