Chapter 831 Justice because of Need

The sudden reversal operation shocked many people. Franz, who was the initiator, all doubted whether there was a problem with his senses.

Fortunately, Franz had cultivated a strong heart after years of being an emperor, and he quickly recovered.

"Frederick, after reading these files, what do you understand?"

Based on the principle of waste utilization, Franz did not let go of this classic case and used it to exercise his son for the first time.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't say it himself, no one will know that this is a coincidence, and the outside world will only think that the emperor's means are clever.

Frederick, who had not yet recovered from the shock, was confused by Franz's questioning.

"Understand what?"

The emperor's means are clever?

wrong!

This is the answer in the hearts of the courtiers, and it is used for flattery. Frederick didn't think his father's questioning was just to listen to his flattery.

Is there a serious problem with the administration of the Austrian government?

Not right either!

Corruption is a problem that has existed in all dynasties. Whether it is a horizontal comparison of European countries or a vertical comparison of historical dynasties, Austria's current official governance is considered good.

Although the bureaucrats are making money, they know that they should pay attention to eating.

The means of corruption have evolved into power and money transactions. There is no embezzlement of government funds, and no private taxation. This is a kind of progress.

For the ruler, as long as the people below can complete the assigned tasks on time, have no ambitions to rebel, and do not cause anger and resentment, then it is acceptable.

Put an end to corruption, it's just a beautiful dream, it can only be realized when you sleep. Otherwise, we will wait for human beings to evolve to a higher level and stop pursuing material things.

...

This question is too broad, and one answer after another appeared in Frederick's mind for a while, and then he was denied by himself, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Facing Franz's encouraging gaze, Frederick replied uncertainly: "Everyone is selfish, they just choose a path that is most beneficial to them."

Franz nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, people are selfish. This applies to most people, and the rest are saints.

The way of being a king, we can only manage the country by ruling ordinary people, and we can't bet on the saints with small probability.

Waiters and others are just representatives of all living beings. They are also greedy, but while being greedy, they also maintain a clear head.

Frederick, if I leave this to you, what are you going to do now? "

After thinking for a while, Frederick replied firmly: "To fuel the flames, take the opportunity to carry out a major purge of the bureaucratic group to catch all these assholes."

Franz pressed: "And then what?"

Frederick was silent. He knew very well that it was easy to carry out a major purge of the officialdom, but corruption would still breed after the purge, and it was impossible to solve the problem once and for all.

You must know that Austria's anti-corruption efforts are already very strong. In order to combat corruption, the law allows officials to collect money and do nothing.

To put it simply, it is not a crime for officials to collect money and do nothing. The money can be turned into legal income as long as it is reported to the competent authorities within three days.

After the filing, officials can make a fortune with peace of mind, and those who take money and bribes are doomed.

Vice versa, bribe-payers can also report officials, and they can be exempted from liability if they do so.

Affected by this, except when a group of bribery guys were tricked into it at the beginning of the implementation, everyone's trust was lost later.

Even, the folks have circulated the joke that "it's not a life and death relationship, no money is charged".

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 this kind of hidden power and money transactions.

Some hidden deep, even if found, no evidence can be found.

Most of the transfer of interests has gone through many turnovers, and there is no direct exchange of interests between the parties.

If it wasn't for Waiters and others, who lifted the lid from the inside of the chain of interests, even if the government wanted to investigate, it would be difficult to find out the name.

Even now, knowing that there are as many as 10,000 officials involved in the case, there are still many people who can slip through the net.

As long as it has been concealed enough before, and has not been directly exposed, including the transfer of benefits, it is also carried out by middlemen. At this time, if the relevant industries are abandoned, there will be no evidence of their transfer of benefits.

In the age of cash, there is no bank transfer record. The simplest method of money laundering is to directly collect unmarked gold bars, dig a hole and bury it, and after a few years, it will be ancestral property.

If it hadn't been exposed this time, Frederick wouldn't have known that there was such a divine operation. However, this is still relatively primitive.

At a higher level, for example, officials' white-glove investments in the stock market doubled in ten days and a half months.

Another example: just take something from the house, it is a valuable antique.

Well, let’s not talk about the issue of antiques, there is really no shortage of old-fashioned noble families.

This thing is not a fake. The ancestors of the people are awesome. As long as the age is enough, it can be said that the ancestors used it personally, and the value will double immediately.

Even if the ancestors are not good, there are always good relatives, who gave it away. Anyway, it's all an oil head, as long as someone pays for it.

Buyers want to ask people's capitalists themselves, usually I'm helping you pay today

, you will pay for him tomorrow, and he will pay for me the day after tomorrow.

Anyway, there is absolutely no intersection of interests between buyers and sellers. Even these cooperating capitalists do not know each other on the surface, nor do they have any trade relations.

This is not the end, even the officials who come forward to sell the goods are not the officials themselves, they are generally registered legal companies.

If something goes wrong, just abandon these industries. There is no Internet connection these days, and many companies are hanging in the name of dead people.

The dead won't speak, and even if the government wants to hold them accountable, they can't go to God to ask for someone, or they will be confiscated by the government as an unowned property.

In fact, there is nothing to confiscate. Most of these companies have no value. Except for a few employees who don't know anything, the company's profit depends on the transfer of profits.

...

Looking at his brooding son, Franz chose to wait patiently, knowing that this question was too embarrassing. Even he himself did not understand it until he had been an emperor for many years.

However, in the royal family, these issues must be understood. Only by looking at the problem thoroughly can you choose the most beneficial plan to implement it.

That's right, not a solution to the problem. It is the ministers' job to be responsible for solving problems. The emperor only needs to guide, and the charge must be handed over to his subordinates.

After a while, Frederick said slowly: "Father, do you mean that you know there is a problem with the rules, but you must follow the rules?"

Franz shook his head: "This is not a question of rules, in fact, there are no perfect rules in this world, the real test of people is adaptability.

While abiding by the rules, we must also use the rules to serve us instead of becoming slaves under the rules.

Always remember that we are rule makers and rule maintainers.

Unless it is really necessary, it is best not to try to change the rules of the game easily, because before changing the rules, you have to bear the backlash of the rules. "

No way, what Franz wants to cultivate is the King of Conservation. Being overly active and ambitious are not the qualities a ruler should possess.

Relatively speaking, being conservative is the best option. Anyway, Austria's size is so large and its accumulated wealth is so strong, the fault tolerance rate is already very high.

As long as the monarch in the back does not mess around, the status of a great country is stable. When the country is stable, the royal family is naturally stable.

After pondering for a while, Frederick said slowly: "Father, I understand. There is no black and white in politics, only if it is necessary.

Waiters and others are not good things, but what they are doing now is beneficial to the empire, we will use them.

And now the criminal officials and capitalists who have been found out, no matter how large the number or how powerful they are, they are all criminals.

Since it is a criminal, it must be punished by the law. Anyone who obstructs justice is the target of our crackdown.

Waiters and others are the knives in our hands, removing the rotten flesh from the empire for us. As for their character, it doesn't matter!

If this knife continues to be sharp, then we will protect them and make them the pillars of the country that are respected.

On the contrary, if the blade is twisted, or even rusted, let them bear the backlash. "

If there is nothing wrong, if criminal evidence is found, it will be severely punished. If it cannot be found, it will be treated as if nothing happened.

Although it is not ideal, it has not been able to wipe out the domestic assholes, but this is the rule of the game.

Upholding the dignity of the law is the first priority. As for cleaning up the fish that slip through the net, there are opportunities.

Franz was satisfied with Frederick's handling, ruthlessness being an essential quality of a monarch.

Don't look at Franz seems to be very talkative, and he hasn't done anything for so many years, but this is all based on the fact that his subordinates are keeping themselves safe.

In fact, behind the bright and beautiful, there are more followers, all fell on the road because of their unrighteousness.

It's just that Franz chose to be light-hearted based on his past credits, which seemed kind.

And this lenient release is also carried out within the scope of the rules. For example, those who should be deprived of titles have become overseas colonies that are directly inherited by their descendants and whose exile conditions are relatively good.

No matter how much you take care of him, he will be kicked out of the power circle, but he will not deprive the family of the foundation, leaving the hope of a comeback.

Murder doesn't exist. There is no tradition of killing nobles in Europe. Unless it is a major event that is outrageous and resentful, the nobles are rarely executed.

This kind of treatment, Waiters and others can't enjoy it.

They have some credit, but unfortunately, they committed a big taboo in collusion with the Jewish capitalists. Without looking for their bad luck, Franz is considered magnanimous.

From the beginning, Franz was ready to let them die with the Jewish capitalists. I didn't expect these guys to be ruthless, and they just cut a bloody path out of desperation.

Stepping on the bones of his colleagues, he made a good name for himself. Facts have proved that a good reputation can really save lives.

Now all the Austrian people think that they are honest officials, and no matter how much evidence the Jewish capitalists come up with, they can all be attributed to--framing.

As the price of getting out, Waiters and others will always worry about being revengeful for the rest of their lives. If you want to continue to mix in the officialdom, you can only rely on the reputation of "clean officials" who hate evil and hate.

Thinking of this, Franz sighed helplessly. I thought to myself: "I don't know if this is a black and white reversal?"

"perhaps

, Possibly, it shouldn't count, using one group of worms to kill another gang of worms can barely be called fighting poison with poison.

No, it should be said to save the fallen officials and put them back on the right track..."

No matter how much you console yourself, nothing can change this nonsense fact. Obviously people who don't want to use it, but because of political needs, they have to reuse it.

As if thinking of something bad, Franz continued to instruct: "Frederick, remember. The bottom line of people like Waiters is too low for them to be in high positions.

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 undersecretaries of various ministries.

Before reusing them, checks and balances must also be prepared. As soon as you find signs of bad things, suppress them immediately.

The candidates for the cabinet and the chief officials of various ministries must be selected who have a certain bottom line. The ability can not be too strong, as long as it is above the average line, it is enough.

Especially for the prime minister candidates, choose the older ones as much as possible. Young people are pressed by me, no matter how strong he is. "
