"Hmm"
Everyone fell silent. Without investigation, they had no right to speak. They had never been to the grassroots level, so naturally they didn't know the situation there.
Zhao Jun continued, "I've also thoroughly investigated the reasons behind this. First, officials have short terms and heavy workloads. Second, the performance appraisal system curbs corruption and improves work efficiency, but it also limits their initiative, significantly hindering regional development."
Now everyone understood what subjective initiative was. Yan Shu sighed, "We've all risen through the ranks from the local level, and we all know that our daily work schedules are constrained by the regulations and tests. It's really hard to consider anything else."
“So now that we’ve discovered the problem, we need to solve it.”
Zhao Jun smiled and said, "It's another round of new reforms in the officialdom. I've decided to reduce the burden on officials, increase their enthusiasm, and allow them to exert their subjective initiative and vigorously develop the local areas."
“How to do it specifically?”
"Increase the term of office of officials, reduce the workload of the performance appraisal system, and eventually gradually abolish it. The Constitutional Yuan will issue guidance to encourage local officials to think more about the direction of local development and do more practical work, focusing on developing agriculture, commerce, and industry."
"It's just that officials in the world today have no experience in this area."
Yan Shu expressed his concerns, saying, "To put it bluntly, officials today are all officials from the feudal era. Even if many officials don't have bureaucratic ideologies, they are willing to be role models and go to the countryside to care for the people. But if we ask them to deal with things they've never touched before, I'm afraid they'll end up making things worse."
"Wrong."
Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "Everything is always difficult at the beginning. It's easy to go from one to a hundred, but it's incredibly difficult to go from nothing to one. That's why the court encourages them to act boldly. Even if it wastes local finances and turns out to be a waste of effort, it's not tolerable. As long as they're wholeheartedly working for the people and local development, and they don't break the law or harm the people's interests, they shouldn't be afraid of trial and error. The court gives them space to make mistakes, just as a way to gain experience."
This is the same path for future generations.
For decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have been crossing the river by learning from the advanced experiences of other countries.
Be a student first and then a teacher. Only after enduring a beating can you understand the true meaning.
Therefore, our country also experienced a long period of pain at the beginning.
But after the reform and opening up, China finally found a development path that suits its national conditions, and it suddenly soared to the forefront of the world, catching up with Britain and the United States.
