Siheyuan started as an unlicensed knight and became a hero of justice

The leader also didn't expect that Wu Zhen was already doing what he wanted Wu Zhen to help with, and had already done half of it, so he just had to take over.

The leader also understood that the two people were really the same type of people, but Wu Zhen was more of a man of action. He would do it as soon as he thought of it. No wonder he offended so many people.

All of a sudden, the leader regarded Wu Zhen as a confidant and decided to talk to Wu Zhen about his ideas, and also hoped that Wu Zhen could help him realize his ideals!

Wu Zhen was also very curious about what the leader thought, but when he heard the leader's idea, Wu Zhen gave his evaluation without hesitation:

"Naive! Childish! Do you think you are just playing house? You are over sixty years old, already in your sixties, how can you still be so childish!"

"Hahaha! High salaries to maintain integrity! Hundred coffins to fight corruption? I am dying of laughter!"

"I believe that if we carry out the eight words, only four words will remain, which are the first three words and the last word!"

"Besides, in the end, you will be scolded for the rest of your life by those who don't know the real situation!"

Wu Zhen doesn't give his leader any face at all. What's wrong with the leader being higher in rank than him? What's wrong with laughing at your naivety and childishness?

The leader was very surprised that Wu Zhen not only did not support him but also laughed at him. However, he did not get angry and humbly asked Wu Zhen why.

Wu Zhen said seriously:

“It’s a good idea, but a good idea doesn’t mean a good solution, and it certainly doesn’t mean it’s suitable for this society!”

"And you want to learn from Singapore by paying high salaries to maintain integrity, right?"

“Have you heard from Singapore’s leaders that Singapore’s civil servants are paid quite well, so civil servants who accept bribes risk losing their jobs and pensions?”

"Indeed, the high-paying policy to maintain integrity has been implemented very well and successfully in Singapore, and we can learn from it."

"But how big is Singapore? How big is my country? The final result can only be a case of the old mandarin ducks not appreciating the old mandarin ducks!"

"The integrity of Singaporean officials does not come from their high salaries alone, but from their transparent system of public disclosure of their assets, from their effective public supervision, and from their independent and rigorous anti-corruption agencies."

"First, you need to have a transparent system for public disclosure of officials' assets like theirs, and effective public opinion supervision is also necessary. Finally, there must be an independent and strict anti-corruption agency!"

"Only after you have completed all these preparations can you talk about high salaries to maintain integrity! Otherwise, the appetites of those officials will only grow bigger and bigger because of you!"

"You think the Hundred Coffins Anti-Corruption Campaign is great? How does it compare to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Zhu Ba Pi?"

"During the Ming Dynasty, there was a torture method called skinning and stuffing straw into the body, but why did corrupt officials continue to commit such crimes? Why did they kill more and more people?"

"Besides, how much salary do you give as a high salary? Will this high salary attract everyone to become a civil servant?"

"You know the harm of people who are idle and do nothing. Haven't you been fighting against these people who are idle and do nothing for the past few years in the Magic City?"

"You have gone through so much hardship to solve the problems of overstaffing, corruption, and bloated organizations, and have improved efficiency. Aren't you afraid of it happening again?"

"Once civil servants are paid high salaries, I believe there will be countless civil service jobs. Can the state's fiscal revenue afford it?"

"Many state-owned institutions also require civil servant benefits. Are you going to give them that?"

"If all of it is given, how many ordinary people will be needed to support us? If all fiscal revenue is used to support these civil servants and people in public institutions, how can our country's military and economy develop rapidly?"

"You have been a leader for a long time and have been less involved with the people. Do you know how the people are doing? How hard are the lives of most farmers and laid-off workers now?"

"Many advanced experiences of other countries are very good and worth learning from, but we must adapt to local conditions and be practical!"

"There are many things our country needs to learn, but we cannot blindly follow the trend, and we cannot only see the good side and ignore the essence of things!"

“Many excellent systems and methods are based on sound laws and regulations and strong public opinion supervision.”

"But it's different in our country. The leader's words can override the system and even the law. It's also common for discipline to override the law. In many cases, it's rule by man."

"After all, legal construction often lags behind the needs of actual development, and in many cases becomes a stumbling block to economic development. How should this situation be handled?"
