Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 831
The sudden reverse operation shocked many people.Franz, including the creator, doubted whether his perceptions were wrong.
Fortunately for many years as an emperor, Franz had already developed a strong heart, and he quickly eased it over.
"Frederick, after reading these files, what do you understand?"
In accordance with the principle of waste utilization, Franz did not miss this classic case, and used it to train his son in the first time.
Anyway, as long as he didn't say it himself, no one knew it was a coincidence, and the outside world would only think that the emperor's means were brilliant.
Frederick, who had not yet responded to the shock, was confused by Franz's questioning.
"What do you understand?"
The emperor's means are brilliant?
wrong!
This is the answer in the minds of courtiers, used for flattery.Frederick did not think his father's question was to listen to him flattering.
Austrian government officials have serious problems?
Not right!
Corruption is a problem that has existed throughout the dynasties. Whether it is a horizontal comparison of European countries or a vertical comparison of historical dynasties, Austria ’s current administration is good.
Although the bureaucrats are fishing for money, they know they pay attention to eating.
The method of corruption has evolved into the trading of power and money, without embezzling government funds, and without levying taxes privately. This is an improvement.
For the ruler, as long as the following people can complete the task of accountability on time, without ambitious desire to rebel, without causing anger and public resentment, then it is acceptable.
Put an end to corruption, that is just a beautiful dream, only realized when sleeping.Otherwise, wait for humans to evolve to a higher level and stop pursuing matter.
...
This question is too broad. For a while, Frederick's mind came up with one answer after another, and then he was denied by himself. For a while, I didn't know how to answer it.
In response to Franz's encouragement, Frederick replied uncertainly: "Everyone is selfish, they just choose the path that is most beneficial to them."
Franz nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, people are selfish. This applies to most people, and the rest are saints.
For the sake of monarchy, we can only manage the country by ruling ordinary people, and we cannot bet on the saint with a small probability.
Waiters and others are just representatives of all living beings. They are equally greedy, except that while they are greedy, they also maintain a sober mind.
Frederick, if I leave this matter to you, what are you going to do now?"
After a little thought, Frederick replied firmly: "Push the waves and take the opportunity to carry out a major cleansing of the bureaucracy and wipe out all the moths."
Franz asked, "What then?"
Frederick was silent. He knew very well that it was easy to carry out a major cleansing of the officialdom, but corruption would still breed after the cleansing, and it was impossible to solve the problem once and for all.
It is important to know that Austria ’s anti-corruption efforts are already very strong. In order to combat corruption, the law allows officials to collect money without doing anything.
In simple terms, it is not a crime for an official to collect money without doing anything.As long as it is reported to the competent department within three days, the money can become legal income.
After the filing, the official can get rich with peace of mind, and the person who bribes the money is finished.
Vice versa, bribers can also report officials, and they can be exempted.
Affected by this, apart from the beginning of the implementation, a group of bribery guys were pitted in, and the trust of everyone behind was gone.
Even the folks have spread the saying that "it's not life and death, no money".
In a sense, this decree is also the driving force behind the rise of secret power and money transactions.
Under the existing productivity, it is too difficult to supervise such hidden power and money transactions.
Some of them are hidden deep, even if they are found, there is no evidence.
Most of the transfer of benefits has gone through many turnovers, and there is no direct interest exchange between the parties.
If it was not Waiters and others who lifted the cover from the inside of the interest chain, even if the government wanted to check it, it would be difficult to find out.
Even now, there are many people who know that the officials involved are as many as 10,000, but many people can still miss the net.
As long as they have done enough concealment before, and have not directly appeared, including the transfer of interests, it is also carried out by intermediaries. At this time, the relevant industries should be abandoned, and there will be no evidence of their interest transfer.
In the cash age, there are no records of bank transfers.The simplest method of money laundering is to directly collect unmarked gold bars, dig a pit and bury it, and it will be the ancestral property after a few years.
If it wasn't for this exposure, Frederick didn't know that there was such a god operation.However, this is relatively primitive.
At a higher level, for example: officials' white gloves investing in the stock market doubled in ten days and a half.
Another example: just picking something from your home is an antique of great value.
Well, let's not talk about the problem of antiques, there is no shortage of old aristocratic families.
This kind of thing is not a fraud. The ancestors are so powerful, as long as the age is enough, it can be said that the ancestors used it personally, and their value immediately doubled.
Even if the ancestors are not good, there are always good relatives, whoever gave it.Anyway, it's all an oil head, as long as someone pays.
The buyer wants to ask the person's capitalist himself, usually I will help you with the money today, tomorrow you will help him with the money, and the day after tomorrow he will help me with the money.
Anyway, there is absolutely no interest intersection between buyers and sellers.Even these cooperating capitalists do not know each other on the bright side, and there is no trade.
It's not over yet, not even the officials themselves come forward to sell the goods, they are generally registered legal companies.
If something goes wrong, just discard these industries.This year, there is no Internet connection, and many companies are under the name of the dead.
The dead will not speak, even if the government is to blame, it can't go to God to ask for people, and it will be confiscated by the government as an unowned industry.
In fact, there is nothing to confiscate.Most of these companies have no value. Except for a few employees who do not know anything, the company's profits are all driven by profits.
...
Looking at his pensive son, Franz chose to wait patiently, he knew the problem was too embarrassing.Even if he himself had been an emperor for many years, he wanted to understand.
But in the royal family, these issues must be understood.Only by looking at the problem thoroughly can we choose the most favorable plan for implementation.
That's right, it's not a solution.Responsible for solving problems is the job of the ministers. The emperor only needs to guide, and the charge of the charge must be handed over to the people.
After a while, Frederick slowly said, "Father, do you mean to know that there are problems with the rules, do you have to act according to the rules?"
Franz shook his head: "This is not a question of rules. In fact, there are no perfect rules in this world. What really tests people is resilience.
While obeying the rules, we must use the rules to serve us instead of becoming slaves under the rules.
Always remember that we are the rule-makers and the rule-keepers.
Unless it is really necessary, it is best not to try to change the rules of the game lightly, because before changing the rules, you have to bear the backlash of the rules."
No way, what Franz wants to cultivate is a worthy king.Too active thinking and ambition are not the qualities that a worthy monarch should possess.
Relatively speaking, being conservative is the best option.Anyway, Austria has such a large body, and the accumulated family is so rich, the fault tolerance rate is already very high.
As long as the later monarch does not toss about, the status of a great power is stable.As the country stabilizes, the royal family naturally becomes stable.
After a moment of contemplation, Frederick said slowly: "Father, I understand. There is no black and white in politics, just see if it is needed.
Waiters and others are not good things, but what they do now is good for the empire, we will use them.
However, no matter how large or powerful the criminal officials and capitalists are now, they are criminals.
Since they are criminals, they must be sanctioned by law. Anything that impedes judicial justice is the object of our crackdown.
Waiters and others are the knives in our hands. They will remove the carrion from the empire for us. Their character is not important!
If the knife keeps sharp, then we will protect them and make them the pillars of the respected country.
On the contrary, if the knife is rolled, or even rusted, let them bear the bite."
If there is no problem, severe punishment for criminal evidence is found, and if it cannot be found, nothing will happen.
Although it is not ideal, it has not been able to wipe out all domestic moths, but this is the rule of the game.
Safeguarding the dignity of the law is the number one priority. As for cleaning up the fish that have been leaked, there is a chance.
Franz is very satisfied with Frederick's treatment, and coldness is the basic quality of a monarch.
Do n’t look at Franz who seems to speak very well. For all these years, he has n’t done anything to cook, but it ’s all based on the fact that his people are safe.
In fact, behind the bright and beautiful, there are more followers, all because they are not standing upright, and they are halfway down the road.
It's just that in the past credit, Franz chose to be light-hearted and looked kind.
And this has gone from light to light, that is also within the scope of the rules.For example, the one who deprived him of the title became an overseas colony inherited by his descendants, and his conditions of exile were relatively good.
No matter how to take care of it, it was kicked out of the power circle, but it did not deprive the family of the family, leaving the hope of a comeback.
There is no murder.There is no tradition of killing nobles in Europe. Unless it is a big and angry thing, the nobles are rarely executed.
This kind of treatment cannot be enjoyed by Waiters and others.
They have some credit, but unfortunately, colluding with the Jewish capitalists in the past has made a big mistake, and without finding their guts, it is considered Franz ’s magnanimity.
From the beginning, Franz was ready to let them die with the Jewish capitalists.I didn't expect these guys to be ruthless, they just killed a bloody road from desperation.
Stepping on the bones of my colleagues, I built a good reputation for myself.Facts have proved that the reputation is good, can really save lives.
Now all the Austrian people think that they are clean officials. No matter how much evidence the Jewish capitalists have come up with, they can be summed up as stolen.
As the price of getting away, Waiters and others will always worry about being retaliated for the rest of their lives.If you want to continue to mix in the officialdom, you can only rely on the reputation of "clear officials" who are jealous.
Thinking of this, Franz sighed helplessly.Secretly thought: "I don't know if this is black and white upside down?"
"Probably, maybe, it shouldn't be counted. Using a bunch of moths to kill another moth is barely a poison.
No, it should be said to rescue the misstepped officials and put them back on the right track ... "
No matter how comforting you are, you can't change this nonsense.Obviously it is someone who does not want to use it, because of political needs, it must be reused.
Seeming to think of something bad, Franz continued to ask: "Frederick, remember. The bottom line of these people, Waiters, is too low to hold them high.
If you encounter something that must be reused, you should use it with caution. Their limit is the Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, or the ministers of various ministries.
Before they can be reused, they must also be prepared for checks and balances.Once they found bad signs, they immediately suppressed them.
The candidates for the cabinet and various ministries must select people with a certain bottom line.The ability should not be too strong, as long as it is above the average, it is enough.
Especially for the prime minister, choose the older ones as much as possible.The younger ones put pressure on me, no matter how strong he is."
