The brine is made of tofu, and one thing is reduced to another. Du Qiulan's arrival has made Chang Ning's rhythm of life orderly. As for work, it is even more exciting to be happy when people encounter happy events, and there is nothing to say.

In the golden October, after National Day, Chang Ning took Du Qiulan to end his "nostalgia" journey in Qingyang City and returned to Ningzhou to work.

In the office of Ding Ying, secretary of the municipal party committee, Chang Ning unexpectedly met an unexpected person. His teacher at the Central Party School and his instructor of the paper, Professor Fang Yuanzhao, is a famous party history expert and party theory expert. Chang Ning is one of the few people respected.

What surprised Chang Ning even more was that there was Fang Hongjun, secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Committee, sitting next to Fang Yuanzhao. It turned out that they were the uncle and nephew of their relatives.

After a necessary politeness, Chang Ning looked at Fang Yuanzhao. He knew that the old man had to come from the capital to Ningzhou City and had something to do to find him.

Sure enough, Fang Yuanzhao said: "Xiao Chang, I'm sorry, your graduation thesis at the Party School has not been approved."

Only then did Chang Ning remember that his studies in the graduate class of Central Optical School had not been completed because he had not completed the thesis defense.

"Teacher, is it because I didn't participate in the thesis defense?" Chang Ning asked with a smile. With Fang Hongjun present, he knew the relationship between Fang Yuan and Fang Hongjun, so he had to pretend to be calm.

"That's not... it's mainly your paper's point of view, and some people don't agree with it... Of course, a few days ago, there were a lot of discussions in the capital city, so it's normal for them to suppress the paper."

"Haha, I'm really doing everything and omnipresent... Ignore them, and I'll stick to my paper."

Fang Yuanzhao hurriedly said, "No, no, don't you want to graduate?" Chang Ning is a young talent Fang Yuanzhao is optimistic about. If he can't even pass the paper, he will not delay Chang Ning's future and he will have no place to put his old face.

Chang Ning smiled and said, "Teacher, don't worry. Even if you can't finish your job, you won't be working the same way. Let them mess around. We should do whatever we should do." He really didn't care about his paper, but was thinking about Fang Yuanzhao's arrival this time. Is there any other intention, for example, for his nephew Fang Hongjun?

Take out the paper from your bag and weigh it in your hand. Fang Yuanzhao said solemnly: "The problem is that your paper is now spread in the capital. I heard that some old people disagree with it and think you are young and frivolous and self-righteous."

Before Chang Ning could speak, Fang Hongjun said, "This is not surprising. People in the capital are so irrelevant, so it's easy to talk about others."

Chang Ning smiled and didn't speak anymore, but just glanced at Ding Ying with all his eyes.

Ding Ying said: "Professor Fang, can you let me learn from Comrade Red Army?"

Fang Yuanzhao nodded, divided the paper in his hand into two, and handed it to Ding Ying and Fang Hongjun respectively.

On the Decreasing Power

For more than two thousand years, in our society, the people have become a habit, a culture, and have inertia. After years of accumulation, we can call it a culture of swearing at officials. That is to say, no matter when, no matter where, as long as you close your eyes and scold the officials, you will always be right. If you walk on the road and meet someone, they have no reason to curse officials, and then there will definitely be a group of fans behind him. As long as you oppose power and leadership, you will always be right and will always be supported.

So we have to ask, why don’t you tell the officials if you scold them? To put it bluntly, it means that power is asymmetry, or power. As a local high-ranking official, he has the highest power in the country. As a central high-ranking official, he has the highest power in the country. Under their rule, all the people, all their rights combined, are not as good as the officials’ power. Therefore, a scene immediately formed is that one or several officials stand on this side, and billions of ordinary people stand on the other side, and the weight of decision is controlled in the hands of several officials. They want light side, light side, heavy side, and heavy side.

Therefore, we see that throughout history, officials have been absolutely strong, and ordinary people are absolutely weak. The only way for the weak to resist the strong is to resist. As the strong, the correct way should be to lower their heads and be scolded and reflect. No matter how well the strong do, they always have incomplete aspects, bad things, and they will always hurt some people. Therefore, the weak can find a handle for the strong no matter where they are at any time and where they are. They can fight for power through scolding, pull the balance to their own side, and tilt it a little.

If the people have no more resistance, then, as the absolute weak on the balance of power, there is little way out for survival in a power struggle. The only thing the strong can hope for is either to have a broad mind or listen to all criticisms. If they have the same attitude as the weak, then the weak will have no choice but to look forward to the honest officials and the knights. If they really can't do anything, they can only "subdued millions of corpses, and the world will be covered in mourning" in their dreams.

So, at any time, as long as you help an official, no matter how well the official does or how right the official is, it will be unpopular, because since the power is not equal and the responsibilities of the official are not equal, the people are wrong in prison, and the impact is almost gone. If the official takes the wrong foot and takes it, I don’t know how many ordinary people will be killed.

Another big reason for the existence of the swearing culture is that in history, there were too few officials with professional gods, and there were too many officials in order to live a good life and make money. The so-called Qing magistrate for three years, 100,000 silver silver, and black hats could be directly auctioned.

Some people say that there is no politics in China's officialdom and no love in China's love field. This is really a profound and highly summarized.

In the history of our country, except for the emperor's black hat, other officials can almost be bought with money. What is the purpose of buying an official? Of course, it is not to have enough food and have nothing to do, but to slave the people, treat them as cows and horses, and to work hard to make money for the officials. The purpose of studying is to be an official and to make money. How can you make money? First of all, you firmly control you in power, so that you can make money except helping officials make money. All the other roads are dead ends. In the world, is it the king's land. If you want to survive, you must obey the power of the officials and help them make money.

In the era we live in today, the old calendar of being an official has become outdated, and today is completely incomparable to history: First of all, without the emperor, the country is no longer the world of individuals, and power is no longer the power of individuals. Besides, in the modern official system, power is distributed, and the purpose of power is already very clear: it is no longer to help the emperor and the high officials make money, but how to use this power to help all the people make money. Therefore, today, officials are called public servants and civil servants.

However, in the final analysis, today's civil servants are first of all, which means that they are the ones who hold the power of life and death of the people, and secondly, they are the ones who serve you. But the problem is that according to our ideal setting, officials must first be people who serve the people, and secondly, they are people who can serve the people through power. But in real society, this is basically not the case. Where is the problem stuck?

The cultural influence in history is a big reason, because today's scholars and officials have clothes and hats, but most of the things they put on their minds are ancient. Officials are a concept of rule of law, while public servants are purely moral concepts.

We can't help but ask: Are there really political officials with political ideals and professional gods today? If so, how many are there? This is a question worth thinking about. It is a popular saying that studying is also to be a high-ranking official and make big money. It is said that there is another one added now, called Marrying Beauty NV.

An official who has no political ideals and professional gods must be a money-making machine. Without goals and professional gods, there is no professional guardian. How can a person who has no goals and no guardians holds the world's public instruments?

But the swearing culture also has a terrifying consequence, which is to make officials and those under management unreasonable opposition.

But the problem is that in our emotional country, it is difficult for you to continue to implement the true professional ideals, professional gods, and professional requirements. To implement it, you must first put on the hat of emotions. Throughout history, the Chinese people we have seen have died for the loyalty of their brothers, but few have died for reason and truth.

However, we did not expect that once power is labeled as a friend's loyal emotion, it will immediately become a tool for officials, rather than a public instrument for all the people. Then, it is reasonable to use power to plunder the people, make a lot of money for their relatives, children, and friends, let them leave their motherland and live abroad, and always leave their homeland forever from then on, at least morally reasonable.

The opposition of the people is, because they do not have this power, and the benefits brought by this power have not fallen on themselves. The anti-corruption official is because they are not corrupt officials and they do not oppose the power itself at all. Such opposition is of no point, but what we really want to oppose is the power itself.

In recent years, the whole country has been calling for emancipation of the mind. For officials who are in power, those who are not in a state will change their status and change their status, which has immediately attracted a lot of praise.

However, taking "If you are not in a state, you will change people if you do not change your state" as an example, how do you determine what state a person who is not in a state is? This cannot be fixed in any case. It is a thing that is round and flattened when you want to get off the get out of class and ask him to enter the class room, you can find many evidences of his absence, because the flexibility of this standard is even more difficult to grasp than the guerrilla tactics in the war years.

Therefore, it is completely possible and can be reduced to a tool for retaliation for Si people. As ordinary officials, their way out is to work hard to make themselves in a safe state in the minefield, the second is to pretend and do enough superficial efforts to make themselves look like they are in a safe state, and the third is to do not do it, and to continue to use emotions and money to win over high officials and let themselves escape the disaster.

Therefore, to emancipate the mind through power, it is to use power to urge power, or use power to counter power. If power is tightened, it will only imprison the mind. If the liberated person has the mountain of power on his head, he may often be as trembling as Zeng Guofan. If he is in hell, he will inevitably worry about telling the truth. Is this a snake coming out? After all, the life and death of ordinary people are still firmly controlled by officials. As long as the officials are unhappy, the more liberated the people are truly liberated, and the more they really say things that benefit the country and the people, they may encounter more criticisms and hardships.

Many of the cultural heritage left to us by our ancestors are problematic, false benevolence, false love, and false belief, so hypocrisy is prevalent, with policies from above and countermeasures from below. There are too many things that the people have to worry about. If they do not emancipate their minds, instead of emancipating their minds and fooling their politics, it is not a difficult thing to do.

A great man of a generation once tried to use civil rights to oppose official power in a vigorous way and replaced the weight of the balance. He was defeated and paid a heavy price, which kept making up for future generations. The ending was regrettable. It can be seen that whether it is civil rights opposing official power or official power opposing civil rights, it is similar to using violence to combat violence, and the ending is not wonderful.

In short, power is against power, and the outcome is without exception. Therefore, the historical facts over two thousand years tell us that the first thing we need to do to reform our political system is to downplay power.

The so-called downplaying power is to make officials truly civil servants through the establishment of the system. No matter what the people think or say, as long as they don’t do that, there is no power. They have to throw them into the class room, kill their heads, and do whatever they want. Officials can only sigh and be out of reach. Only by removing the tight curse of freedom of speech on the people’s heads can the power of the people be truly awakened and rejuvenated.

Officials have political ideals, professional gods, and professional guardians. Those who are ordinary people can dare to think and speak.

To put it more directly, it means to downplay administrative power, and gradually decompose the power as political ones, so that it can be dispersed into the economy, culture, and society. These powers will be further refined and divided into the people to avoid new power monopoly. In this way, there will be no dominant resistance to economic, cultural, and social development, and the freedom of Chinese people. Only then can we truly rejuvenate, let the intermediate organizations and civil organizations of our society develop fully, and social management will be achieved through the autonomy of social organizations. If this can be done, I think today's emancipation of the mind still has real practical significance. Only the real civil society will come, and the pace of development will become faster and faster. It will not be a slogan until the great rejuvenation of the nation...

"Xiao Chang, Professor Fang is right. You are poking a hornet's nest."
