Use heavy scriptures in troubled times

"I'm going to take him to the execution ground. I won't even try him at this time. Isn't it too serious?" When he heard that Bai Mei and other Hong Tai leaders were going to be taken to the execution ground, the police officer who asked the question had a big mouth and doubted his own ears.
Did you hear it wrong?
"Is it serious? No, these bastards have committed numerous crimes, and the piles of files at the police station are higher than anyone else's. It's because no one accused them, or someone accused them and they had money to hire a lawyer that they escaped.
Putting them on trial now is already an advantage for them." Inspector Wang snorted coldly, "Xiao Li, you are from Yuen Long. I remember that before you joined the police force, you were bullied by Hong Tai's people every day. How dare you
I dare not express my anger, and there is no room for reasoning."
"Um!"
Police officer Xiao Li nodded when he heard this, "Not only was I bullied, but not one or two of my neighbors were bullied by Hong Tai. Most of them joined the community to protect themselves, and only a few joined the police force to protect themselves like me.
of."
"This is all the blame of the ghosts. It is their indulgence of the associations that has brought misfortune to us citizens. Today, the Director is going to bring order to the chaos and eradicate the associations from the ground up.
Instead of killing all these bastards, how can we eradicate the association? You must know that heavy rules are used in troubled times."
Use heavy scriptures in troubled times!
The quality of public security in a region is related to two points, one is the economy, and the other is the severity of penalties!
First is the economy!
Generally speaking, the better the economy, the better the public security. On the contrary, the worse the economy, the worse the public security environment.
One of the key factors why the Nordic countries have a good public security environment and the prevalence of various kinds of virgins is that they have good economies and can implement high welfare systems.
How good is its welfare system?
Take Sweden for example!
In addition to free education from primary school to university, its education guarantee also provides children under the age of 16 with a monthly student allowance of approximately 1,050 crowns, and college students can receive monthly bursaries and low-interest study loans.
After the birth of a child, parents can enjoy 480 days of parental leave and a parental allowance equivalent to 80% of the original income. The maximum parental allowance can reach 284,200 Swedish kronor. And every child between 1 and 16 years old can receive it every month.
Child allowance to approximately 1050 crowns.
The general registration fee for medical treatment in Sweden is 120 kronor each time, and it will be free after accumulating 900 kronor within one year. If you need medicine, you can go to the pharmacy to buy medicine with the prescription issued by the doctor. If the accumulated drug cost exceeds 900 kronor within one year, you can enjoy free medication.
.Other expenses, such as treatment fees, hospitalization fees, and even travel expenses to and from hospitals or clinics in special circumstances, are fully exempted.
All medical expenses for children before the age of 18 are free. If you are unable to work normally due to illness, you can also enjoy sick leave allowance, which is used to make up for the patient's loss of income due to illness, which is equivalent to 80% of normal income.
Various safeguards, services, subsidies, rescue and other measures can solve most of the risks ordinary people encounter. People will have no worries from the cradle to the grave.
Human beings are inherently good by nature!
A good welfare system allows people in Nordic countries to not have to worry about life, which naturally reduces disputes. Coupled with a modern alarm system, it naturally improves public security.
It's just that this system is only suitable for small countries in Northern Europe and is not suitable for large countries.
In fact, the welfare of Northern Europe is not only envied by our people, but also by people in developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and the United States, and they also want their countries to implement such a welfare system.
It’s just that it’s not that people don’t want to learn, it’s that they can’t learn it. Even if they know other people’s models, it will be difficult to implement them in their own country, because these benefits are all based on one foundation, which is, in layman’s terms, money.
One of the key reasons why Nordic countries can achieve high welfare is that these countries have small populations but extremely rich resources. The per capita resource possession is much higher than that of ordinary developed countries.
What is their population size?
Sweden, the most populous among the Nordic countries, has only 9.69 million people, and Iceland, the least populous, has only 330,000 people. This means that their economic aggregate is not very high, but their per capita GDP is much higher than that of the United States.
Among them, Norway is the world's third largest oil exporter and natural gas exporter, and it will not be watched all the time like the Middle East. They can concentrate on oil exploration and export, and oil revenue accounts for as much as 25% of GDP.
Sweden's iron ore export volume ranks first in Europe, its proven uranium reserves are as high as 250,000 to 300,000 tons, and its forest coverage rate is as high as 54%.
Finland's per capita forest area is 3.9 hectares, and its output of pulp, cardboard and cartons ranks among the top in the world.
Denmark is Europe's third largest oil producer and natural gas exporter, and is also rich in other mineral resources.
Iceland is rich in geothermal resources and the North Sea fishing grounds are very developed.
The biggest advantage of abundant resources is that it has a strong ability to resist risks and is little affected by the external environment. In addition, it also has another characteristic, which is "high added value, low development speed."
High added value is easy to understand, it means high profit margin, and to put it bluntly, it means making a lot of money.
If all citizens are labor-intensive workers such as textile workers or assembly line assembly workers, even if the tax rate is 80%, the total tax amount will not be too large.
Also, high added value may not necessarily bring a comfortable and comfortable life, and requires low speed.
Although fast-developing industries like IT and chips can make a lot of money, they must pursue speed because electronic products basically need to be replaced every two years, which causes great psychological pressure on employees. They need to go through 996 and Baijiahei.
Only then can we barely keep up with the trend of the times.
It is impossible to form long-term stable high taxes and a peaceful mentality of the people.
On the contrary, it is different at low speed!
Because low-speed development means that the core competitiveness of the industry mainly comes from historical inheritance. As the saying goes, it relies on the blessings of ancestors.
More importantly, when an industry enters a slow development cycle, it means that the market in this industry has almost stopped growing. The new generation of personnel can only work step by step, and they will not make more money no matter how hard they work.
Therefore, from the employee's perspective, more work cannot be converted into benefits.
From a business perspective, expanding investment is not suitable for an already saturated market.
From the government's perspective, there are not many popular industries that require large amounts of capital.
The combination of the three allows the government to impose high taxes on enterprises without having much impact on them. High taxes are the prerequisite for high welfare. Without money, it is impossible to guarantee various expenditures for high welfare. After all, wealth cannot be generated out of thin air.
.
In Finland, income tax exceeds 50%. In Sweden, tax expenditure accounts for more than 60% of total expenditure.
Because the income distribution is effectively adjusted through taxation, the Nordic countries have become the countries with the smallest gap between rich and poor in the world, thus making society very stable.
Not comparable to other places!
Just like Hong Kong!
In terms of GDP per capita, Xiangjiang is not much worse than the Nordic countries, or even less than double the gap.
But real income is different.
In Northern Europe, due to high tax regulation, the income gap between people is very small, and they are basically at the middle level.
And Xiangjiang!
Although the median income level of citizens is not low, it is an average, an average of high-income and low-income.
Because of the high housing prices, Xiangjiang has the highest proportion of billionaires in a single city. It can be said that high-income earners are really high, dozens or even hundreds of times higher than low-income earners.
Therefore, there are many billionaires in Xiangjiang, and their mansions are everywhere, but there are also a large number of people who do not even have a place to live and can only live in cage houses.
The concept of a cage house is a cage.
It is only a few square meters in size, and many people live in such a place from birth to death. Together with the large number of lower-class citizens in the housing estates, they provide a continuous supply of people to the society.
Even a developed city like Xiangjiang is like this, so we cannot pursue the Nordic welfare system. In order to make society peaceful, we can only use another method, and that is punishment.
The severity of punishment plays a decisive role in the security of a place.
certainly!
The prerequisite is social stability.
If it were a situation like that at the end of the ancient dynasty, even if the heavy code was used and the robbers died, it would not be able to stop the bandits, robbers and thieves who came one after another. It was really hard for everyone to survive, and they had to steal and rob in order to survive.
The law is worthless in the face of survival.
However, under the premise of social stability, the quality of public security is directly linked to the severity of punishment.
Let’s take the United States as an example.
The economy of Laos and the United States is much higher than that of the mainland, let alone per capita. The gap is several times higher. Logically speaking, the public security environment should be better than that of the mainland.
What's the result?
The mainland is known as one of the safest areas in the world. It is an exaggeration to say that people do not pick up food on the road, but there is a rich nightlife. If you go out at night, unless you are extremely unlucky, you will generally not encounter security problems.
But that's not possible in the United States.
The wealthy areas are better because housing prices are high, people are wealthy, police patrols are strong, and they are relatively safe at night.
This is not possible in poor areas, especially areas where black people gather.
In these areas, you are not allowed to go out at night, especially girls, because the possibility of encountering danger when going out is more than 50%. What is even more sad is that calling the police will not work!
Because the police will not go to these areas at night.
In the Mainland, this situation does not exist.
In everyone's impression, the price of housing is related to the geographical location, green area and materials used. I have never heard that it is related to the public security environment.
Because the public security in villa areas and urban villages are similar, there is not much difference.
An assault case in a certain place can cause a sensation on the entire Internet. In addition to the rapid spread of the Internet, there is another reason because such cases are rare.
If it happens every three days.
Just like Xiangjiang!
Not to mention fights over dinner at night, which are commonplace, but group fights involving dozens or hundreds of people, which happen every three days.
Because it happens so much, both the police and citizens are used to it.
By default, after twelve o'clock in the evening, the world is dominated by the community.
When the time comes, the police will automatically get off work and leave the night to the community. Even the newspapers will not report on it.
The reason for this is that in addition to the large gap between the rich and the poor in Xiangjiang and the large number of people in mixed societies, another key factor is that the legal punishment in Xiangjiang is too low.
Take selling washing powder as an example.
The mainland has zero tolerance for laundry detergent. As long as it is sold, carrying more than 50 grams is a death sentence.
If this intensity were applied to Xiangjiang, then it would be an exaggeration to shoot all the gangsters in Xiangjiang, but shooting a quarter of them is definitely not unjust.
If it were a club like Dongxing that mainly focused on laundry detergents, three-quarters of them would have slipped through the crackdown.
Not to mention gangs like Zhu Tao and the Ni family, they wouldn't be innocent if they were blown up with cannons.
The real situation in Xiangjiang is!
Even if the amount of stolen powder is tens of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms, the principal offender will be sentenced to a heavier sentence. After more than ten or twenty years of imprisonment, the accomplice can be released in a few years or even a few months.
If it's just a few dozen grams, the police will turn a blind eye.
In Europe and the United States, it is even more exaggerated. The crime of drug smuggling is similar to that of smuggling cigarettes, because marijuana has been legalized in some areas and is no different from cigarettes.
Otherwise, there would be no joke about fans having to pay taxes.
Why do ordinary citizens join associations to protect themselves? Even if they are bullied by gangsters, they are not willing to come forward to testify and send them to prison to receive punishment.
The most critical factor is that the legal punishment for association members is too low. If citizens testify against association members, even if they are sent to prison, they will only be sentenced to a few years or even a few months.
It was happy at the time, but after these people came out, they inevitably retaliated against those who testified, forcing them to have no choice but to even destroy their families.
Zhu Wanfang is the best example.
Because she believed the police, she stood up to testify against the prisoner.
The result!
Xiaosha, the gangster boss who was accused, spent more than 100,000 in bail money and lawyer fees to get him released on bail. Then Zhu Wanfang was targeted by Xiaosha and others.
The boss of the gang, Xiao Sa, put the hundreds of thousands of bail money on Zhu Wanfang, forcing her to pay off the debt. Not only did Zhu Wanfang become the public lover of Xiao Sa and others, she also sold her body to become a young lady, living in dire straits.
Zhu Wanfang's father was hacked to death by Xiao Sa and others in order to save his daughter, but the police could only watch and there was nothing they could do because Xiao Sa had money and could hire a lawyer.
In the end, Zhu Wanfang's teacher couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't bear it. He picked up a knife and chopped Xiaosha to death to save Zhu Wanfang from hell, but her life was already ruined.
It is precisely because the law is lenient towards associations that the number of associations in Hong Kong has increased. The citizens have suffered greatly, but there is nothing they can do about it.
Lei Weidong, who was just a small citizen in his previous life, had no choice.
Lei Weidong of the Hong Kong Comprehensive World has a high position of authority and has been given such a good opportunity, so he naturally has to be ruthless, not only using heavy codes, but also amending the law.
While ensuring that the trial methods remain unchanged, move closer to the mainland and directly replace the criminal law of the mainland.
This approach is not only supported by Meazi, Jian Huizhen and other senior police officers, but also by the majority of lower-level police officers who support Lei Weidong's decision.
Because for front-line police officers, they are also worried about retaliation from the society.
Just like Xiao Li!
After he became a police officer, he could only ensure that he and his family would not be bullied. No matter how much he tried, he would not believe it. Sometimes he could not even protect his neighbors, and he could do nothing to watch the society bully others.
