95. Legislative Reward (Medium)

Zhao Tieyun smiled and said, "Third child, let's go back to the example just now." As I said just now, you have done a lot of good deeds, but you always don't get anything in return, just rely on your personal morality to support, thinking that this is a trivial matter, I just do this to accumulate virtue for future generations and accumulate blessings for myself. So, how many people do you think there are in society to do this?"

Everyone was stunned, they would be like this, because their moral cultivation has reached this point, but for the whole society, there are not many people who can do good deeds without caring about any return, after all, not everyone has such a high moral cultivation. Therefore, there will be very few people who do good deeds without caring about the return, and even if there are people who do good deeds, they only do so many things, and there are very few people who do good deeds for a long time without caring about the return.

Even if a person is very kind-hearted and very motivated to do good deeds, how long can he last? five years, ten years, or twenty years? I don't know how to do it, or many people are afraid that they won't be able to do it for even a year, because no one is so motivated to do things without returns.

"Throughout the ages, people who are officials want to be promoted, but there are only two ways to be promoted, one of which is naturally to do things in a down-to-earth manner, do their own work well, and seek benefits for the people, which can naturally be promoted. The second is to rely on flattering the boss, bribing the boss with money, and relying on false data to fool the boss, such a person can also be promoted. However, from the point of view of the common people, the first type is a good official. The second type is corrupt officials. Everyone is a good official and hates corrupt officials. The reason is that corrupt officials harm the interests of the people. To put it simply, good officials do good deeds while corrupt officials do bad deeds. It is a matter of course to do good deeds and get promoted. But being a corrupt official can also be promoted is a problem of law enforcement. However, the reason why corrupt officials can be promoted is only related to the upper echelons of the entire ruling class; if the top level of the ruling class is good officials and hates corrupt officials, then corrupt officials will certainly not be able to prevail in a big way, and the atmosphere of the entire officialdom will be able to develop in the direction of goodness; on the other hand, if the top level of the ruling class is good at corrupt officials but not good at officials, then the entire officialdom will inevitably become corrupt. ”

"So. From a certain point of view, the use of the law to stipulate the path of promotion of officials, encouraging officials to be good officials instead of being corrupt officials, such a law can be regarded as a good law, on the contrary, encouraging officials to be corrupt officials but not good officials, such a law should not exist in the universe. Our brothers govern the affairs of the clan and the subordinate races, and they all follow the concept of the capable and the greedy are lower, so for more than a thousand years. There has been no major corruption in the officialdom of our clan, and the atmosphere of the entire alliance is good. And to be able to do so. It is all because our law has stipulated that only those who are good officials can be promoted, and there is a law for us to do so. Therefore, we act according to the law, which no one can fault with it. However, for ordinary people, even if they have done good deeds and have done a lot of good deeds, we can only rely on verbal praise, but we cannot give them more rewards, because the law does not stipulate that good deeds must be rewarded by the government, so even if we have the heart to give a certain reward to the good deeds, it is difficult to do, and private rewards do not play a role in incentives, which is the incompleteness of the law. ”

After Zhao Tieyun said some of his thoughts, he paused and said: "The legislation proposed by my father is precisely aimed at the incompleteness of this law. If there is such a law, we will be able to act according to the law. For example, if a good person has done a lot of good deeds, we can give him more power and benefits in return according to the law, so that his heart to do good deeds will be stronger, he will do more good deeds, and he will inevitably help others more. And his actions will certainly encourage more people to do more good deeds. When everyone in society regards doing good deeds as a way to get rewards, everyone will naturally do good deeds, and the whole social atmosphere will naturally be able to transform in the direction of goodness. ”

This is the magic of legislating for goodness. If there is no legislation to reward goodness, there is no reward for doing good deeds, so naturally too many people will not be encouraged to do good deeds, but on the contrary, with the law of rewarding goodness, after doing good deeds, they will be rewarded according to the law, so that of course, there will be a lot more people who do good deeds.

Tang Tiebi had doubts: "Big brother, according to what you say, then there will be a lot more people who do good deeds, but in such a situation, how much can we give in return by legislation? For example, doing a small good deed only has a reward of one or two yuan, and I am afraid that I don't want anyone to do it. ”

"The amount of return is a big problem that we can look into. I kind of understood what my father meant when he said that he was not in a good condition. Now, we Yanhuang clan have countless resources in our hands, and I believe that in the future, we will be able to master more resources, and I believe that the vast majority of cultivation resources will be in our hands, and we can use these resources as rewards, these resources are not used for sale in the market, but only as rewards, so that if you want to get more cultivation resources, you need to use good deeds to obtain, and such rewards will be more attractive. ”

Zhao Tieyun thought for a moment and then added: "For many people, the amount and method of return is a big problem. However, we can propose some solutions in a targeted manner, for example, if a businessman does a lot of good deeds, we can exempt him from a part of the tax, such as reducing the tax by 1 to 10 percent, I believe it is also a huge return for him. For some civilians, doing more good deeds can be used to get some valuable rewards in society, such as in education, work discounts, etc., I haven't thought of a specific plan yet, but my father should have some ideas. ”

Han Wenzheng smiled and said, "Yes, we can adopt a point system." If a person does a good deed, he or she can get the corresponding social contribution points, which can be used to redeem some special rewards. As Tie Yun just mentioned, it can be exchanged for cultivation resources. Merchants can use points to reduce part of their taxes, etc. We can expand to some industries. For example. If a person wants to open a factory or a shop, we have to look at his social contribution points, and if it does not reach a certain number, we will not allow him to engage in commercial activities. Another example is to apply for the civil service examination, if they do not reach a certain social score, they are not allowed to apply for the examination, and use the social contribution points to set a certain threshold for some special industries. Let people take the initiative to earn social contribution points. Only those with more social contribution points can get more power and benefit returns, which is the most fundamental principle. As long as we grasp this principle, we will be able to formulate specific provisions and put the whole society on the road to health. ”

Sun Tiejian questioned: "The point system proposed by my father is indeed a good thing, but many good things are very small and very small, and it is difficult for us to supervise such small things, for example, a person gets up in the morning. It's also a good thing to clean the stairs for everyone in the community. Besides, I'm just afraid that our laws are not perfect, and when the time comes, there will be people to do good things with points, and no one will do good things without points, and it will become a lot more troublesome. ”

Zhao Tieyun smiled and said, "What the third child thinks about makes sense, but it is not difficult. Like the example you mentioned, it's good to help everyone clean the stairs. We are also very simple to be sure that it is a good thing to do, but we can make it a fixed point system in the form of law. For example, help everyone clean the stairs, you can get a point, so that the whole community can bid according to the task, who wants to get this point to sign up, as long as it is completed, you can get this point, if you can't complete it, you will deduct points. Turn this little good thing into a small task, and there should be no problem. Of course, we can't determine all the good things in the way of small work tasks, but I believe that we can also determine many aspects, as for the real uncertainty, we can also report it. If A has done a good deed and left without leaving his name, if B can be sure that A has done a good deed and provided evidence, then we can give A a reward with points, and we can also reward B with a certain number of points. ”

Sun Qinmei poured cold water on her husband: "What the eldest brother said makes sense, but it is not easy to implement, first of all, the provisions of the law must be very strict." Second, there must be an enforcement agency to supervise it, and this institution must be credible. Again, when everyone rushes to do good deeds, I am afraid that some people will not have the opportunity to do good deeds, and there will inevitably be a lot of problems, and then people will fight in order to do good deeds, and the trouble will be even greater. ”

Zhao Tieyun had already thought about this problem, and answered his wife's question confidently: "This one is not troublesome, the first one is the formulation of the law, I believe that as long as we concentrate all the legal experts and scholars, plus some civilians to participate, this one is not a problem, we do not require that the law be formulated to a very perfect point at the beginning, only need to be improved step by step." In fact, when it comes to the issue of rewarding goodness through legislation, I think the most important thing is not the essence of reward, but a spirit, a spirit that advocates everyone to do good deeds. As long as it is determined in the form of law that good deeds are rewarded, and those who do good deeds will be rewarded, then naturally more people will do good deeds. The ancient sage system was only for the Chinese. For the Venerable Master, the rite is already in their hearts, and there is no need for the rite at all, and for the lower people, the rite does not exist at all, and they don't need it, so only the Chinese need the rite. Now, we are only afraid that the same is true, for example, for our brothers, that this law is not at all important to what is good and rewarded. And for a person who is naturally evil, needless to say that legislation rewards goodness, I am afraid that no matter how great the benefits are given to them, they will definitely go to bad things. What is really needed is ordinary people, if there is no reward for doing good deeds, I am afraid that they don't want to do good deeds, and conversely, if there is a reward for doing good deeds, they can compete to do good deeds and do not want to do bad deeds. I am afraid that this group of people will only account for more than 95 percent of the total number of people in our society, and as long as this group develops in a good direction, then the atmosphere of the whole society will no longer be a problem.
