Chapter 261 The Importance of Institutions

Luo Yi said calmly: "The duel will be held tomorrow, there is still plenty of time."

"I'll notify Guan Yajun later... Do you know who Guan Yajun is?"

Wang Wei replied that he knew.

Guan Yajun is Luo Yi's great steward in the Dyson Sphere world, and his power is almost equivalent to that of the Prime Minister.

So Luo Yi continued.

"I informed Guan Yajun to urgently form an investigation team to come to the Yiyang Kingdom and be fully responsible for investigating the disappearance of the deputy minister of education in Yiyang and the unfair land distribution."

"After the investigation team is formed, let the investigation team come to Yiyang Kingdom on a flying saucer, and there will be no delay."

"According to the direction of the investigation I directed, I believe the case will soon be revealed."

"Considering that almost all the nobles in the Yiyang Kingdom participated in the division of land, in order to avoid some people's thoughts of jumping over the wall, I will also send a camp squadron to be responsible for the safety of the investigation team."

"This arrangement will be foolproof."

Wang Wei looked at Luo Yi's confidence and domineering expression when he talked, and unknowingly leaned in and rested his head on his shoulder.

Naturally, Luo Yi would not destroy this atmosphere.So he didn't talk anymore, but walked slowly with Wang Wei, thinking silently.

……

Institutions are very important.

A good system can force bad people to abide by the law, while a bad system can force good people to break the law.

Luo Yi heard a story.Three examples are given in the story.

The first example is the pass rate of the parachute.

At the beginning, parachutes caused unnecessary casualties to airborne personnel due to quality problems.For this reason the military requires parachute manufacturing plants to improve the pass rate of parachutes.

As a result, the parachute pass rate increased to 99.9%.However, the military believes that this is not enough and continues to require manufacturers to improve the pass rate.After hard work, the manufacturer finally increased the pass rate of parachutes to 99.99%, and then said that it was indeed impossible to continue to improve the pass rate.

So the military made it mandatory to randomly select some parachutes during the inspection, and let the factory executives and quality inspectors parachute.

As a result, the pass rate of the parachute suddenly increased to 100%.

The second example is the waste disposal process.

The level of waste treatment technology in a certain country ranks first in the world.An official of the country visited a foreign country and discussed this matter in a chat. The foreign official expressed his admiration for the country's garbage disposal technology.

However, the country's official shrugged and said: "If your country's law stipulates that garbage disposal sites must be built next to government offices, then your country's garbage disposal technology will soon reach the world's leading level."

The third example is porridge.

A bucket of porridge is shared among ten people.There are not many porridges, so we cannot guarantee that everyone will be full.

No matter who is asked to share the porridge, there will be uneven distribution.

In the end, the person who is required to divide the porridge is the last choice.As a result, there was no such thing as "unequal suffering".

This shows how important a good system is.

Luo Yi has always believed that a good system is the most basic prerequisite for building a harmonious society.

Although almost all the nobles in the Yiyang Kingdom have united to destroy the national policy of "land to the tiller", proving that "the system also needs to be implemented by people".But Luo Yi still insists that relying on the morality and self-discipline of officials is tantamount to seeking fish from a tree, and must and can only rely on the system.

The power of morality and punishment alone cannot fundamentally restrain the greed of human nature.

Moreover, as more and more officials commit corruption by undermining the bottom line of morality, it will only produce a moral "broken window effect".

In fact, pure punishment cannot fundamentally solve the problem of human greed.There are many examples in history of using severe torture to control corruption, but none of them succeeded.

The reason for this is not only because of the unequal risk of illegality and illegal benefits, but also the problem that the law does not blame the public so that the politicians have no way to start - when the corruption of officials is relatively serious, the politicians will worry about shaking the foundation of the rule, and they will know that the officials are under the control of the rat. Corruption has to be tolerated.

Based on such a fact, Luo Yi decided to establish a relatively complete system from the very beginning.

The nest case of Yiyang Kingdom did not shake Luo Yi's belief.He just saw from this case that the current system is not perfect enough and needs to be patched.

While holding Wang Wei's shoulders and taking a leisurely walk, Luo Yi silently reflected on the loopholes in the system.

This time, the entire ruling class of the Yiyang Kingdom united from top to bottom to destroy the "land to the tiller" policy, and the fundamental motive was profit.

In the bureaucratic system designed by Luo Yi, the two consuls with the greatest power and the highest status in a kingdom are the two consuls.

One of the dual consuls is elected by the people or appointed by the king.The other is appointed by the Cephalon in the name of the King of Kings.

Luo Yi's original intention was that the two consuls could check and balance each other.The two consuls are produced in different ways. The consuls elected by the people or appointed by the king represent local interests, while the consuls appointed in the name of the King of Kings represent the interests of the central government.

Conflicts between different interests are easy to occur, but since one of the two controls financial power and administrative power, and the other controls personnel power, it is difficult for both of them to fully suppress the other.Therefore, the two consuls can reach a state of mutual checks and balances.

But I didn't expect that the two consuls in the case of the Yiyang Kingdom's nest would join forces. If the nobles worked together to carve up the land, who would believe that the consuls knew nothing about it?

The problem that caused this error and omission is not too serious, and it is easy to patch.In fact, there is a ready-made system that can be borrowed, that is, the native place avoidance system in ancient China.

Among the officials of the first-level administrative region, before Luo Yi only stipulated that officials from other places need to appoint foreigners - the duty of officials from other places is to safeguard the interests of other places, wouldn't it be embarrassing for them to serve as locals?

But in the case of the collective den in the Kingdom of Yiyang, it has nothing to do with the duties of the foreign officials.Because the local nobles carve up the local land, it is difficult to get involved with foreign interests.Of course, if the foreign officials have a strong sense of right and wrong, they can report the situation to the central government.However, governing the country obviously cannot simply rely on the moral cultivation of officials themselves.

Luo Yi decided to make a patch: it is stipulated that the consuls appointed by the central government must implement the domicile avoidance system.

The consul appointed by the central government is alone and has no relatives in the jurisdiction, which can avoid excessive social relationships and create a network of favors.

For example, if the other consul of the Yiyang Kingdom is a foreigner, the consul has great power and status, and has no relationship with the local nobles, then the local nobles will not be so unscrupulous when they carve up the land.

As for officials below the consul, there is no need to implement the domicile avoidance system.

The kingdom of the Dyson sphere world is too small, much smaller than a county.If officials below the consul also implement the avoidance system, it will undoubtedly add a huge burden to the government's administrative expenses.

……

Although Luo Yi has always acted calmly, in fact, the nest case of Yiyang Kingdom has caused him a great shock.

Therefore, after coming up with a patch to the consul's domicile avoidance system, Luo Yi still felt uneasy.
