Volume 4 Arms Empire Chapter 4 Nova (830 explosions, ask for a monthly ticket)
When we arrived in Beidaihe, Pan Yunsheng met Ye Zhisheng...!
Pan Yunsheng was really impressed by this young man who caused a "great disaster" in July last year.
After being "released" by the Military Intelligence Bureau, Ye Zhisheng went to Renmin University to teach. Within three months, he published a paper that caused a sensation in the academic community, and made major suggestions for the construction of the Yarlung Zangbo Jiang Dexing Hydropower Station. At the end of January last year, Ye Zhisheng became the youngest professor in the history of Renmin University.
In addition to this major, Ye Zhisheng also showed extraordinary gaze in current affairs that he has always cared about.
In August last year, Ji Youguo had just announced the implementation of the official property declaration system. Before Pang Xinglong announced the streamlining of government departments, a comment posted by Ye Zhisheng was hired by the internal reporter, which attracted the attention of Ji Youguo. In this comment, Ye Zhisheng predicted that the central government would streamline departments in the name of "anti-corruption and integrity", lay off Kangyu personnel, and achieve the purpose of reducing expenditures and improving efficiency. Later, some people even believed that it was Ye Zhisheng's comment that triggered the government's streamlining reform. Judging from the situation at that time, Ye Zhisheng could not think of streamlining government departments before Ji Youguo, and Ji Youguo could not implement reforms that had a profound impact on the Republic because of an anonymous comment.
What really attracted Ji Youguo's attention was other content in the comments.
When talking about reducing government spending, Ye Zhisheng extended the future fiscal policy and economic trend of the Republic.
According to Ye Zhisheng's analysis, the Republic will adopt a balanced fiscal policy after the financial crisis, use the financial crisis to squeeze out the capital bubble formed during the East China Sea War, avoiding the excessive influx of international capital into the Republic's financial market and negatively affecting the ongoing industrial structure adjustment.
Because industrial structure adjustment, welfare housing construction, medical system reform, comprehensive urban and rural pension reform, popularization of 12 years of compulsory education, scientific research investment, and restorative national defense construction all require large amounts of money, so the government's fiscal budget will be very tight within the next five to ten years.
Because the adjustment of the industrial structure has injected surging momentum into the economic development of the Republic, the national welfare guarantee provides vitality for the domestic consumer market, and the strong competitiveness of high-tech products based on electric technology has laid the foundation for exports, the average annual economic growth rate of the Republic will be between 5% and 7% within the next five to ten years. If the impact of the global financial crisis and the global economic crisis can be properly resolved, the Republic's economic development speed is expected to exceed 9%. There is no doubt that the Republic not only has the ability to overcome the financial crisis and economic crisis and take the lead in embarking on the road of rapid development, but will also become the only country that maintains positive growth during the financial crisis and economic crisis.
Finally, Ye Zhisheng made a summary based on the analysis and judgment of the previous two points.
The Republic implements a fiscal policy that tends to be appropriately tightened. In addition to preventing international capital from re-controlling the pillar industries of the Republic, the main purpose is to keep the Republic's currency firm and become the most valuable currency during the financial crisis. It will hit the hegemony of the US dollar in international finance. In the end, it will form a three-legged situation with the US dollar and the euro, so that the Republic has a say in the future international financial markets that is no less than the United States.
Although Ji Youguo has never mentioned it to anyone, Ye Zhishengdi’s summary is exactly the same as Ji Youguo’s judgment.
On August 311 last year, the leaders of a country led by Ji Youguo announced the property status of personal and immediate relatives.
Ye Zhisheng once again "seizes" the opportunity. On September 1, he published "On Integrity Construction" anonymously. After highly evaluating the positive role that national leaders have played in announcing the property status of individuals and immediate relatives have played in the construction of integrity. He proposed that the construction of integrity cannot be promoted based on the "demonstration" of national leaders. Support for the construction of integrity must be provided institutionally.
This comment not only attracted the attention of Ji Youguo again, but was also quoted by major news media.
Given the situation at that time, only Ye Zhisheng, who had just returned from abroad, dared to criticize government policies, point out the shortcomings in the policies, and put forward suggestions for improvement.
Many people can find problems, but a few people can propose solutions.
Ye Zhisheng belongs to the "few people". In his comments, he clearly mentioned that ensuring the results of the "anti-corruption storm" is not about punishing many officials, nor is it about not investigating too many stolen money. In addition to normalizing the public disclosure of personal and immediate relatives' property on time in legal form, accepting supervision from public opinion, clarifying punishment clauses, setting reporting rewards and other methods, it is necessary to regulate government behavior in a systematic way, and clarifying what the government should do, what not to do, what officials can do, and what they cannot do; only by restricting government behavior through legislation and cutting off the chain of power and money interests can we fundamentally eliminate the ** and power and money transactions.
This comment quickly spread throughout China and caused widespread discussion.
When a good netizen "Human Flesh" commented anonymously when he was a professor at Renmin University who returned from the United States not long ago, even Ye Zhisheng's identity was discussed. Some "stakeholders" even said that Ye Zhisheng was a spy sent by CIA and a lackey serving the United States.
Anyway, this comment once again hits the nail on the head.
In early November, Ji Youguo and Pang
A group of sociologists, political scientists, historians, jurists, learning, recuperation, etc. were invited to Beidaihe to discuss and study the government reform plan, and the Military Intelligence Bureau was responsible for their daily needs such as food and accommodation. Ji Youguo not only named Ye Zhisheng himself, but also asked Pan Yunsheng to pick him up and drop him off.
Pan Yunsheng understood Ji Youguo's meaning very well. When arranging the specific work of the experts, he appointed Ye Zhisheng as the leader of the civil representative group. He was not only responsible for drafting the reform plan, but also for supervision. Of course, the main role was the legal group. According to Ji Youguo's intention, the reform plan will eventually be confirmed in legal form, and the details of the terms and conditions directly determine the success or failure and effect of the reform.
After two months, Pan Yunsheng went to Beidaihe on average once a week.
His identity is the liaison officer of the State Council Reform Group. The main purpose of his trip to Beidaihe is to review confidentiality work and understand the progress of the work of formulating the plan.
When he returned to Beijing, Pan Yunsheng called Ye Zhisheng.
"The reform plan has been generally determined. I think the details are not clear enough. However, experts from the Legal Group believe that it is not appropriate to issue the rules too quickly. The Supreme Court should explain it after the specific implementation is discovered." Ye Zhisheng smiled bitterly and said, "Although it makes sense that this makes sense, those experts from the Legal Group are obviously a little timid, fearing that the details are too detailed and offend the interests of some people."
"It doesn't matter if you find a problem, the key is whether there is a solution to the problem."
Ye Zhisheng hesitated for a moment and took out a document from his briefcase. "These are some detailed rules I have proposed according to my personal understanding. I don't know if it is useful."
Pan Yunsheng nodded, took the document, and stuffed it into his briefcase without even reading it.
"In fact, the biggest problem with our country's laws is that the details are unclear." Ye Zhisheng sighed and took the cigarette handed by Pan Yunsheng. Until now, he still believes that Pan Yunsheng is the contact person of the reform group and does not know Pan Yunsheng's true identity. "The law is the rule of the game of the entire society, not for certain people or certain groups, but for all and all groups. The highest spirit of the law is that everyone is equal. If it cannot be done, it will lose its meaning of existence. When formulating the law, not only should we not think about everything in the good direction, but we should also think about the bad direction and find faults with a perspective that violates the law. Only try to be clear as much as possible.
Only by detailed rules can we try to ensure that there are no loopholes, fewer loopholes, no loopholes, and no discrimination. Although I never think the United States is a perfect country, I think we should learn from the United States in terms of legal system. Not to mention other things, the United States' federal laws and local laws can fill a building. Why do Americans make laws so detailed? It is not because the main job of the U.S. Congressman is to formulate laws, but when formulating laws, Americans think of everything in the bad direction. They don't think anyone is noble or despicable, they only recognize who abides by the law and who violates the law."
Pan Yunsheng smiled faintly. Except for Ji Youguo, he rarely listened to others' high talks.
Ye Zhisheng became more and more excited as he spoke. He took a few puffs of cigarettes and said, "I remember when I arrived in the United States, I often evaluated others as ‘good, bad, right, wrong,’ but always misunderstood. It was not until later that I realized that when Americans evaluated others, they never used ‘good, bad, right, wrong,’ but used ‘whether there is any illegality’. Although I still don’t agree with American values until now, this reflects the social value and social role of the law from one aspect."
"According to your words, law replaces morality and becomes the only social rule?"
Ye Zhisheng hesitated for a moment and nodded immediately. "'Morality' is the core idea in our traditional culture. It has a positive and desirable side and a lack thereof. I think the biggest flaw of morality is the lack of coercive binding force, and the cost of violating morality is too low, making it lose its fairness and cannot force and restrain everyone like the law. From the perspective of development, morality will definitely replace the law, and the prerequisite is that civilization is highly developed, and everyone can consciously and voluntarily use morality to restrain personal behavior. Before this, morality cannot replace the law, and it is even more impossible to become the basic rules of the game in society."
"You studied law before?"
Ye Zhisheng was stunned and shook his head. "I have lived in the United States for a few years. If I don't want to learn law, I have to learn a little. Not everyone can pay expensive lawyer fees."
"I thought you were a law student." Pan Yunsheng smiled faintly and said, "Summary your words and don't be so long. Someone may ask relevant questions later. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on your performance."
“Where are we going?”
Pan Yunsheng didn't say it, but also said that he could already see the gate of the head of the head of state.
Ye Zhisheng was shocked when he came to his senses. Unexpectedly, this contact person named Pan actually brought him to the head of state!
damn it**
