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

[The Corruption Investigation Bureau will randomly check whether the property movements of civil servants are legal. Once any illegal behavior is found, the Corruption Investigation Bureau has the right to ask any insider to provide clues. Those who fail to report the information will be guilty of a crime and will be subject to economic penalties or even 1 year in prison. ]

[The superior of the offender and the relevant personnel in the department responsible for reviewing the property list will bear joint liability. ]

…………

Daqin plane.

Qin Shihuang felt that this operation in Singapore in the later generations was similar to the system of joint responsibility in Daqin.

In fact, it is true.

Singapore has adopted a very unique economic "joint responsibility" system on the issue of corruption.

In Singapore, in addition to confiscating the money they have embezzled, they must also impose fines several times or even dozens of times. The laws of Singapore stipulate that the money will be repaid by the superiors of the embezzlers together with them.

In this way, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is no longer a simple relationship of management and being managed, but a community of political and economic interests, where everyone suffers together.

…………

The plane of Taizu of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.

This is a good idea!

When the Great Ming Dynasty implements the public disclosure system of officials' property in the future, it can also be added.

……

[After looking at Singapore, let's take a look at the property disclosure system of the United States. ]

[The property declaration system of the United States began with the "Government Officials' Conduct Ethics Law" promulgated in 1978. ]

[According to the provisions of this law, including the president, vice president, congressmen, federal judges, and staff of the three administrative, legislative and judicial agencies, must fill out the property declaration form before taking office to report their property status, and must also declare it monthly after taking office. ]

[At the same time, property declaration is not limited to the declarant himself, but also includes the relevant information of his spouse and dependent children. 】

[These property declaration forms will be kept by the Federal Government Ethics Office and will be subject to public inquiry and supervision at any time. 】

[For example, the government website of the United States will disclose the property status of the President and Vice President of the United States. 】

……

Accompanied by subtitles and narration.

The property declaration forms of some presidents of the United States that have been published appeared on the high-altitude giant screen.

Looking at these property declaration lists, many ancient people from all dynasties were stunned.

The President of the United States is the head of the United States.

Such a big man's property must also be disclosed?

For many ancient people, this is completely unimaginable.

Especially the common people of all dynasties.

In their eyes, asking officials to disclose their property is already an extremely bold request.

But they never expected that even the head of a country would have to disclose his property.

For these ordinary people in ancient times, this was simply unbelievable.

What they didn’t know was that almost all the government-owned property of officials was87 The heads of state of countries with a property disclosure system need to make property disclosures.

On the other hand.

When the emperors of all dynasties saw this, they did not agree with this practice.

The emperor owns the country.

The whole world belongs to them, so why do they need to disclose their property?

Besides.

The majesty of the world cannot be violated.

Such things that undermine the majesty of the emperor are absolutely unacceptable!

In a word.

The property disclosure system can be implemented for officials, but it must not involve the emperor.

……

[In addition, if an official refuses to declare, makes false reports, misses reports, or delays reporting without reason, he will be fined a certain amount of money at the least, and will be sued and imprisoned at the worst. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che nodded slightly.

To implement the official property system, there must be corresponding punishment measures.

……

[Next is the British Empire. ]

[We have just said that in 1883, the British Empire Parliament passed the world's first law on property declaration-the "Election Purification and Anti-Corruption Law". ]

[According to this law: if there is a gap between an official's personal property and his normal income, an explanation and explanation must be made. If no evidence of legal income can be provided, it will be deemed as gray income and then convicted. ]

……

"The crime of huge property with unknown sources?"

This idea emerged in the minds of many ancient people in all dynasties.

Such a description fully meets the definition of the crime of huge property with unknown sources.

……

[And. 】

[The following income must be clearly stated in the property declaration form: wages, bonuses, allowances, subsidies, welfare and free travel benefits, income from consulting, writing, lecturing and other activities, and income from assisting in business activities. 】

[In short, everything must be declared clearly without any concealment. 】

[The British Empire attaches great importance to the honesty of officials. 】

[At the beginning, David Mellor, Secretary General of the National Heritage Committee of the British Empire, was found to have concealed the fact that he had accepted a free trip to the southern part of the Kingdom of Banya, and then he was forced to resign. 】

……

“Is this not okay?”

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were shocked.

They originally thought that property disclosure was limited to property, but they didn’t expect that this situation would also be counted.

……

[However, the property disclosure system of officials in the British Empire is also different from that in Singapore and the United States. 】

[For example, government officials of the British Empire are only required to declare their own property and income, while their children, spouses, parents and other relatives do not need to declare their income and property. 】

[This is because in the eyes of the British Empire, the property of relatives has privacy rights. 】

……

The plane of Taizu of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang disagreed with the practice of the British Empire.

For him, an ancient feudal emperor, the privacy of the people below him did not exist at all.

He was more in favor of the property disclosure system in Singapore, which included all the family members of officials.

Only in that way can it be considered a true property disclosure.

In the future, the property disclosure system of officials in the Ming Dynasty will include things such as the dowry of the officials' wives.

Officials must declare all of them clearly in advance.

……

[Finally, let's look at an Asian country: South Korea. ]

[Among Asian countries, South Korea's anti-corruption efforts are quite strong, and its property declaration system is also the most typical. ]

[In December 1981, the Congress of South Korea passed the "Public Officials Ethics Law". On January 1, 1983, the bill officially came into effect. 】

[The law calls the subject of property declaration "the person who is obliged to declare", indicating that state public officials have the obligation to declare their property to the relevant departments, which is an obligation that should be fulfilled and has strict legal compulsion. 】

[The bill clearly stipulates the principles of property registration and disclosure, puts public officials under the effective supervision of all citizens, and specifies in detail the provisions for the dismissal and punishment of public officials who violate the law, and establishes a special public official ethics committee to review and handle the registration information. 】

[From Articles 23 to 29 of the law, the crimes of violating the law are listed, including the crime of obtaining property by abusing power and confidentiality, the crime of refusing to register property, the crime of providing false information, and the crime of refusing to attend. 】

[If a public official commits the above crimes, he shall be sentenced to corresponding imprisonment or fines. 】

【These regulations put those public officials who refuse to disclose their assets or do not disclose their assets truthfully under tremendous legal, moral and psychological pressure, forcing them to consciously abide by the law or resign. 】

【For example, in 1994, when the law was first implemented, the first disclosure of assets resulted in the resignation of several ministers, deputy ministers and the mayor of Seoul. When the second disclosure of assets by the legislative, judicial and administrative departments occurred, many officials resigned voluntarily. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with sarcasm.

These Korean officials who resigned voluntarily are likely to have done corrupt things, so they are guilty and dare not disclose their assets.

Otherwise, how could these people not even want their official positions?

And there are so many of them, it seems that the Korean government's original corruption is very serious.

Li Shimin actually doesn't care much about Korean affairs.

What he thought of from this incident was the problems that might be encountered in implementing the official property disclosure system in the Tang Dynasty.

"My dear ministers, if I want to implement this official property disclosure system in the Tang Dynasty, what do you think?"

Li Shimin asked Zhangsun Wuji and other Tang officials.

Hearing this question, Changsun Wuji and other officials of the Tang Dynasty felt a pang in their hearts.

This question is difficult to answer.

From the bottom of their hearts, regardless of whether there is corruption or not, most officials do not want to make public their property.

No one wants the whole world to know their property situation.

But looking at the look of his own majesty, it is clear that he has a strong desire to promote this system.

And.

Fighting against official corruption is also a very legitimate and just reason, standing on the moral high ground.

What reason should be used to express opposition at this moment is a difficult point.

It has to be said.

As the head of all officials, Changsun Wuji reacted very quickly, and he quickly thought of a reason in his mind.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, although this system is very good, it is easy to cause conflicts between the people and officials, so it needs to be considered carefully."

Changsun Wuji replied respectfully.

"Oh? What does Fu Ji mean by that?"

Li Shimin asked.

Changsun Wuji replied respectfully:

"I think that if officials are required to disclose their property, the people will think that the court does not trust the officials. In this way, the people will also distrust the officials, and may even regard the officials as "enemies" in their hearts, which is not conducive to the officials' governance of the local area."

"Lord Changsun is right, and I also think..."

After Changsun Wuji took the lead, some officials followed Changsun Wuji's path and expressed their opposition.

Li Shimin was not angry about this situation.

Because he had expected it.

He raised this matter at this time just to test the ministers.

Whether to launch the property disclosure system depends only on his own final judgment. Whether the ministers support or oppose it will not affect the overall situation.

He is indeed good at accepting advice, but he can also make decisions arbitrarily!

Amidst the voices of opposition, Wei Zheng said coldly:

"You are wrong, my Lords. I think that disclosing one's property to the world will only make the people trust officials more, unless the official is corrupt."

"I agree with what Lord Wei said. As long as one's heart is clear, what's wrong with disclosing property?"

Ma Zhou said immediately.

After the two of them, some other ministers also expressed the same idea.

But it is obvious that the majority of ministers opposed.

Li Shimin just listened to the arguments of these ministers and did not express any more opinions.

……

[Anti-corruption and advocating integrity is a governing philosophy that most governments in the world advocate and promote. ]

[The public disclosure system of civil servants' property has been proven to be a sharp weapon against corruption and an effective system in many countries around the world. 】

[Okay, this video ends here. 】

……

After this video is played.

Many ancient people from different classes in different dynasties could not calm down for a long time.

Many ancient people were still in shock.

Officials were worried that their respective dynasties would learn from the later public disclosure system of civil servants' property.

As for the emperors, they were considering the pros and cons of introducing the public disclosure system of civil servants' property.

While thinking about their own things, the few videos that were subsequently shown on the high-altitude giant screen did not attract much attention from the ancient people.

Until a few minutes later, a new video caught their interest.

The title of this video is:

[Counting the strange civil service examination questions of Longguo, see how many you can get right? ]

And the reason why this video attracted the interest of the ancient people was also very simple.

They had learned from a previous video that the civil service examination of Longguo was the examination for selecting officials in Longguo.

It was a bit similar to the imperial examination of their respective dynasties.

So the ancient people were very curious about the content of the civil service examination of Longguo.

In the eyes of the ancient people, a video preface appeared.

……

[As we all know, the civil service exam subjects are divided into two subjects: the Administrative Ability Test and the Essay. ]

[Among them, the Administrative Ability Test covers a wide range of subjects, from astronomy to geography. It covers everything you can think of, even things you can't think of. ]

[Today, I will share with you some of the more outrageous questions of the Civil Service Administrative Ability Test. You can see how many you can get right? ]

……

"Only two subjects?"

In the dimension of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was a little surprised.

This is less than the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, Li Shimin's idea is still modest.

Compared with the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty, it is simply too little.

During the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the four subjects inherited from the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination added three more subjects: law, writing, and calculation.

The Mingjing subject is further divided into five classics, three classics, two classics, one classic, three rituals and other small subjects.

According to statistics, there are more than 50 subjects in total, which is really a lot.

However, most of these more than 50 subjects are not taken seriously as secondary subjects. They are just for the sake of passing. It doesn’t matter if you don’t do well in the exam, and it won’t add many points if you do well. The final ranking is still determined by the main subject.

It was at this time.

The first question appeared on the high-altitude giant screen.

……

[Figure prediction: 1357 (), what should I fill in the next blank? ]

[A.8B.9C.2D.10]

……

The ancients of all dynasties before the great power of the high-altitude giant screen introduced Arabic numerals into China also understood the meaning of these numbers.

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji said carelessly:

"This is easy, choose B."

"The first number is 2 more than the second number."

Hearing this, Zhu Di did not comment, but asked an official with interest:

"Zeng Qi, you are the top scholar. Why don't you do the civil service exam questions of the future? What do you think should be chosen for this question?"

"I agree with the opinion of the prince. The answer to this question is still very clear."

Zeng Qi replied.

……

[Many people will directly choose option B after seeing the question. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, the difference is 2, what a simple question. ]

[But did you notice that it is written here as a diagram, not a number-based question? If it is a number-based question, it is completely fine to choose option B, but if it is a diagram, you can only choose option C. ]

……

"Ah? Wrong?"

Both Zhu Zhanji and Zeng Qi were stunned.

What does this mean?

Zhu Di was also stunned. In fact, he also thought that he should choose B just now.

……

[This question tests the openness and closure of the graph, that is, whether the graph is open or closed. In other words, whether there is a closed space in the graph. If there is no closed space, it is open. ]

……

"Ah? That's what it means? Who could have thought of it?"

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were confused.

Isn't this too tricky?

……

[Question 2. ]

[Four people, A, B, C, and D, discussed going out on a weekend trip. A said: If B goes, I will definitely go; B said: If C goes, I will not go; C said: Whether D goes or not, I will go; D said: If at least one of A and B goes, I will go.

Which of the following inferences may be correct:

A. B and C went.

B. A went alone.

C. A, C, and D went.

D. All four of them went. 】

……

“I feel dizzy!”

Many ancient people in all dynasties were completely confused after seeing this question.

I don’t understand it! I don’t understand it at all!

I can’t do it! I can’t do it at all! .
