Chapter 355 The Exposed Fly

On the afternoon of the [-]th, Liu Xinqi summoned Lu Ren to discuss the specific regulations of the "Whistleblower Act" with him, hoping to publish it before the release of the "Baixin Xundao" on the [-]th.

"What you said sounds like it should be very effective after implementation, but there is a problem here. The whistleblower may be retaliated by the person being reported, or even the relatives or friends of the person being reported. What should we do in this situation? Solve it? Otherwise, the enthusiasm of whistleblowers will be greatly dampened. In the end, small corruption will not be reported, and big corruption will not be reported." Lu Ren put forward his own different opinions.

Liu Xinqi thought about it and found that it did have this drawback.

"It seems that this Whistleblower Act should also involve some regulations to protect whistleblowers."

After thinking for a while, Liu Xinqi and Lu Ren finally came up with a compromise based on some information about the protection of whistleblowers that he had seen in later generations.

First, certain provisions were made on the reporting process for whistleblowers.The whistleblower first reports to the Supervision Department and submits relevant evidence to the Supervision Department for investigation.

The report will then be temporarily sealed, the whistleblower will be kept confidential by the Inspectorate, and the Inspectorate will begin a secret investigation.

This sealing investigation period is stipulated as two months, and under special circumstances, an extension can be applied to the higher-level inspection department.

Two months later, if the Supervision Department determines that the whistleblower's report is true after investigation, the Supervision Department will be responsible for filing a public prosecution in court. If the lawsuit is won, the whistleblower will receive 15.00% to 20.00% of the total amount of government fines and embezzlement. According to the serious corruption The principle of heavy rewards determines the reward ratio.In this way, the whistleblower's information will not be exposed from beginning to end.

If the Supervision Department loses the case, or the Supervision Department rejects the whistleblower's report after investigation.The whistleblower can choose to abandon the report or file a civil lawsuit in court himself.If you win the case, you can get 20.00% to 30.00% of the total amount of government fines and corruption. The reward ratio is also determined based on the principle of emphasizing corruption and embezzlement.In this case, the whistleblower will be exposed and may be retaliated against. The bill stipulates some regulations for the privacy protection and personal protection of the whistleblower in this situation.

"This will be a great test for the Supervision Department." Lu Ren concluded.

It not only tests the investigation ability of the Supervision Department, but also tests the Privacy Protection ability of the Supervision Department, and also tests the Internal Management ability of the Supervision Department (not to expose moles).

"Having the masses supervise and assist the work of the Supervision Department, I believe it will play a positive role and the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages." Liu Xinqi said.

"Once this bill is passed, I believe that no businessman will dare to evade taxes in the future." Lu Ren praised.

Think about the United States in later generations, "Taxation and death are two unavoidable events in life.", and then look at the tens of figures of Chinese celebrities in later generations who evaded taxes.

"The purpose is to prevent businessmen from evading taxes and officials from corruption. If businessmen are pursuing profits, if there are not countless pairs of eyes watching them, they will definitely pay a penny less in tax and never pay a penny more." Liu Xinqi replied.

"This bill is not complicated. I will make it as soon as possible and try to publish it in the People's Daily on the [-]th." Lu Ren said and left.

……

March [-], Huang County.

The front page of "Baixinxunbao" published the important provisions of the "Whistleblower Act" and published the case of Cao Fangfang. The whistleblower in the case used a pseudonym, which ensured Cao Fangfang's privacy to a certain extent.

As soon as this headline appeared, it immediately overshadowed the news that the rebels had captured Huachengguan on the Liaodong Peninsula, causing people to talk a lot.

"500 taels, I won't be able to earn it in my lifetime." Some people commented.

"Yes, this man became rich in no time."

"You have to take money with your life, and you have to spend it with your life. If you offend three people's families, how can this person's life be better in the future?" "That's not necessarily true, the dynasties are different. And there are regulations in this bill to specifically protect Reporters, their families don’t dare to cause trouble.”

"That's right, Xinghan League is a good court that makes decisions for the people."

……

Most of the people did not know the specific meaning of the Xinghan League. They just thought that this was another new dynasty with a weird name.

In everyone's mind, Liu Xinqi is the king, but compared to other emperors, this king is more diligent, loves the people, and puts the people first.

In front of the bulletin board, most of the people just watched the excitement, but there were also some people who immediately changed their faces after reading the notice. Some people hurried home, and some people went towards the Huang County Government.

March [-]th, Penglai.

"Yesterday alone, there were six cases of officials escaping in Penglai. Fortunately, they were all caught. There were also eleven whistleblowers who reported official corruption and merchant tax evasion." Luo Cheng reported to Liu Xinqi in Liu Xinqi's office road.

"What is the highest position of the person being reported?"

"The highest level is the eighth grade, mayor." Luo Cheng replied.

According to the "Administrative Law of the Xinghan League", the Xinghan League does not distinguish between officials and officials in official terms, but in private, people at the seventh rank and above are called officials, and from the seventh rank below are called officials.

There are a total of twenty levels of officials in the Xinghan League, ranging from trainee officials, ninth grade to first grade, alliance leader (super grade).

For the officials who work on the financial system, the difference in treatment depends on their grade.

The salary gap between the various levels of officials in the Xinghan League is not large. The income of trainee officials can support a family, but the income of the league leader is not ridiculously high.

"The treatment we give to these officials is already very high, even worse than that of Zhao State. There are still people who are willing to take risks and commit corruption. It is really dazzling to the rich." Liu Xinqi sighed.

The Zhao Kingdom can be said to be the dynasty with the best treatment for officials in history. The Xinghan League's treatment for officials was indeed very low at the beginning, but at that time the League had neither money nor food.

After the development of trade and industrialization, the salary of officials has basically improved every month. As far as the middle and lower levels are concerned, it is no worse than that of Zhao State.The salary of the lowest-level officials has even exceeded that of the lowest-level officials in Zhao State.

Fortunately, the Xinghan League currently has Liu Xinqi's system. Most of the senior officials have attached military general cards and can fully implement Liu Xinqi's governing ideas. There are no big tigers yet. The ones exposed this time are basically small flies, which can be remedied.

"The county magistrate is destroyed, and the governor is exterminated." It can be seen how terrible the damage caused by high-level corruption to ordinary people.

[There is still a long way to go. We must establish a good mechanism to minimize corruption. 】Liu Xinqi thought to himself.

"What is the maximum amount of corruption this time?" Liu Xinqi asked again.

"The official's income does not exceed 1000 taels at most, but there is a businessman whose total tax evasion exceeds 2000 taels. The detailed data is still being compiled." Luo Chenghui reported.
