National governance in peacetime requires a spirit of inaction.
Wuwei does not mean not doing things. Wuwei means abiding by the rules and doing things according to the rules without going beyond the rules.
The operation of a country depends largely on finance. The collapse of a feudal dynasty is often a financial collapse and unsustainability. As long as the finances do not collapse, the feudal dynasty can continue to survive to some extent.
But if there is a financial problem, you will die quickly and there will be no other possibility.
In the later period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, internal and external troubles had reached that point, but because the finances were still good, it was still able to survive into the new century despite the turmoil.
An important and correct way to maintain national finances is to conduct fiscal budget approval and respect and resolutely implement this approval.
The collapse of a country often begins with fiscal overspending.
A project that was originally budgeted to cost only five hundred dollars and one year ended up costing one thousand or even fifteen hundred dollars and taking three years to complete, which is a big problem.
If in another three years this project collapses or breaks down, then the problem will be even greater.
The disrespect and collapse of the fiscal budget system also means the collapse of official governance, and further means the destruction of the ruling order.
No ruler can tolerate the destruction of the ruling order unless there is something wrong with his brain and he has been brainwashed.
An important symbol of the success of inaction is that the bureaucrats follow the rules step by step. They abide by the rules, do not create extraneous matters, complete the work according to the work plan assigned by the central government, do not pursue other things, and follow the rules.
Some people say that this is a sign of lack of vitality and is a pool of stagnant water.
But if we do not control it in this direction, what will be left to local people will not be living water, but boiling water.
If the bureaucrats did not have this level of restriction and did not follow the rules step by step, their overly strong subjective initiative would boil the local water and everyone would take a boiling bath together.
The subjective initiative of bureaucrats comes from promotion, and promotion requires political performance. Political performance is reflected in all aspects. It seems that it is indeed benefiting the people of one party.
But the question is, can these performance projects they carry out really have any benefit to people’s lives?
If the former official of a place has already done his job well and the place no longer needs anything more, then when the new official arrives, he finds that he has no room for trouble, but he wants to be promoted, what should he do?
It's very simple. Even if there are no difficulties, you have to overcome them even if they create difficulties.
Daming county officials are elected for a term of four years, and state-level officials are elected for a term of five years. After expiration, they have to be transferred. This means that they only need to manage their own affairs for four or five years. When the time is up, they will leave. Who cares what happens to you after that?
The new official looked at the chicken feathers left by his predecessor and scolded his mother. He was filled with resentment. How could he be expected to do anything good for the place?
It's nothing more than eating up the grain and forcing another wave.
Bureaucrats actually have no sense of responsibility. They only have themselves in mind, and they will do anything to get promoted.
Su Yonglin cannot place his hopes on the sense of responsibility and conscience of bureaucrats, even if they have followed him in fighting for the welfare of the people.
Therefore, he decided to put a shackles on these local officials who had lived in a state of action for a long time, build a safety valve for the local government, and force them to change from a state of action to a state of inaction.
The core disposal measure is to limit the fiscal disposal power of local officials such as provinces and state governments, so that in addition to the central budget plan, the Ming Dynasty Finance will also establish a new budget system at the local level, implement it to the end, follow the rules, and follow the plan. work.
The ideal state is that one thing is done as long as it takes to be completed.
There are as many manpower as are prescribed.
Spend as much as you stipulate.
It doesn't matter if the project period of one thing spans the terms of two or three officials. It will be done step by step, and there is no need to advance or delay.
Su Yonglin thinks there is nothing wrong with this. It is a good thing to do things according to the prescribed plan. There is no need to advance and no delay is allowed. This is a good thing. Once you get used to it, it is also a real good thing.
This can effectively counter involution.
Su Yonglin decided to become the anti-involution master of the new era.
For the sake of their own political achievements, bureaucrats always want to complete tasks as quickly and efficiently as possible. This mentality is conveyed to the subordinates. In order to please their superiors and their own interests, the subordinates will force the grassroots staff to complete tasks more quickly, efficiently and economically. Task.
In the end, everyone competed to see who was faster than who, who was better and more economical than who, and the grassroots staff were tortured unspeakably. A good thing ended up being twisted into a twist, and everyone suffered together.
Once someone is rewarded or praised for something like this, it will quickly drive a large number of bureaucrats to give full play to their "subjective initiative."
Anyway, they are not the ones with the 996007. Even if they pretend to be the 996007 occasionally, what they get is dozens or even hundreds of times that of the laborers who really paid. It is definitely worth it to them. , even great value.
However, this kind of behavior will drastically worsen the social labor environment and widen the gap between rich and poor, which is not tolerated by Su Yonglin.
A society of inaction is the best society for the people. Creating a temporary state of doing something for the society of inaction is the greatest common denominator that both the people and the country can accept.
Therefore, Su Yonglin must guide the people's power to suppress the bureaucrats no matter what, and not give the bureaucrats room to move around. Even after his death, this kind of suppression can continue.
The best way is to make new rules a habit.
The first generation of bureaucrats cannot get used to it, so the second and third generations will regard it as a natural state.
Su Yonglin couldn't guarantee how long this effect would last, but no matter what, he had to work hard for it.
"They have their delaying methods, and we also have our promotion plans. This matter is an established fact. No matter how they stop it or how they violate it, they can't change the established fact!"
Su Yonglin's determination is unshakable, and as we all know, in the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing that Su Yonglin can't do as long as he really wants to do it.
The Executive Committee issued a reprimand order in its entirety to the provincial governments of Hebei, Shandong and Guanzhong provinces, requiring them to do everything they could to assist the working group in handling this matter.
Without the success of the People's Congress Chamber project in the year-end assessment, it would be difficult for their year-end assessment results to achieve any breakthrough in Zhongdu.
Next year, the budget approval projects for the three provinces will also be greatly reduced. The excess tax revenue saved by the three provinces will be injected into other provinces and major navigation projects to help other more capable provinces and departments to handle affairs.
The reason is simple.
You can't do such a small thing as establishing the local people's representative conference system. The central government is very worried about your ability to do things!
