    Lu Bu established this system of sharing fines among whistleblowers, which not only effectively protected the rights and interests of whistleblowers, but also greatly activated the enthusiasm and initiative of whistleblowers. Whistleblowers are no longer just citizens who rely solely on their sense of justice and Lu Bu's advocacy.  Consciously, seeing that the fine was high enough to balance, compensate and even greatly reward one's own contribution, he changed his original timidity and actively and proactively supervised officials at all levels for the central court in charge of Lu Bu.

    Since then, not only have there been many private whistleblowers who have come forward to report corrupt officials in order to protect their own interests and those of the same class, but there have also been many full-time semi-official whistleblowers. They keep an eye on officials at all levels every day, conducting overt and covert investigations.  Peeping and surveillance will be done in every possible way. Once they get the real evidence of corruption of these officials, they will immediately report it to the Yushitai at all levels. The Yushitai, the Xingcao and Tingwei at all levels will intervene. Once verified, the corrupt officials' homes will be confiscated.  Immediately after the childbirth, the whistleblower was rewarded in public. Once the whistleblower received a large reward, he immediately went to the government-run security company and hired special soldiers of the Central Army who had retired from the front line as their bodyguards to guard against revenge from the families of corrupt officials.

    Of course, the surveillance eyes of these whistleblowers are not just on those corrupt civil servants. According to the provisions of Lu Bu's system, they have paid extensive attention to the leaders of various entities in society, especially the shopkeepers of government-run enterprises. Just like in the 21st century  Just like the bosses of central enterprises and state-owned enterprises, they control huge economic resources and have huge opportunities for corruption, and they have become prey in the eyes of these whistleblowers.

    Under the rule of the Han Dynasty, Lu Bu implemented a high-salary system to support integrity. The salaries of civil servants and government business personnel were twice or even ten times that of ordinary people. Supporting a family was definitely not a problem. If you save a little money, you can even support three people.  Wife and four concubines.

    ??Under such a high salary system, who would still be corrupt?  Then I'm really sorry for the imperial court and Lu Bu. He's really like a rat.

    Lu Bu has zero tolerance for corruption under the high-salary and honest system. He will give you a sufficient salary and you will still be corrupted, even if you embezzle a copper coin. Once discovered, not only will all illegal gains be confiscated.  Your original legal income will also be confiscated.

    Lu Bu stipulated that corrupt officials would not be sentenced to death, but would be sentenced to life imprisonment and consecutive sentences. According to the amount of corruption, officials would be sentenced to one year of hard labor for 10,000 yuan. If they corrupted 10 million yuan, they would be sentenced to 1,000 years of hard labor. Corruption  Officials could not survive even fifty years, and the remaining sentence was divided among all the vested family members of the corrupt official. His wife, children, and children would all be subject to lifelong hard labor.

    Of course there is a situation.  Before the corruption was discovered, these corrupt officials had sent their wives and children abroad, and were arrested themselves. It didn't matter whether they were sentenced to death or suspended from death or life imprisonment. They sacrificed the happiness of one person and the whole family. Such a situation is very important in the 21st century.  It was feasible, but it was absolutely not feasible in the third century where Lu Bu lived.

    "These corrupt officials can send their wives and children to the Roman Empire, the Western Regions, Japan, and Goguryeo.  They can be sent to any foreign land, as long as their wives and children can endure the bumpy carriage ride of tens of thousands of miles.  As long as their wives and children can afford the backwardness and poverty of those foreign lands.

    You must know that Lu Bu is now in the third century, because the various inventions and creations advocated by Lu Bu have greatly improved the social productivity of the Han Dynasty. The national power of the Han Dynasty is booming, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The Han nation is the most industrious and intelligent nation in the world. Once their rulers  He is not a dictator who fools the people, nor is he a fool.  The Han Dynasty will definitely be the richest country in the world, even several times richer than the Roman Empire. The material life enjoyed by a commoner in the Han Dynasty is probably much more comfortable than that of a city lord in the Roman Empire. In comparison with this situation,  The big man at this time is like the United States in the 21st century.  Only people from foreign vassal states went to the Han Dynasty and tried every means to obtain Han nationality, just like going to the United States to obtain a green card. However, few Han people went to foreign vassal countries to suffer. In this case, it was to let the wives and children of corrupt officials  Free to travel to foreign lands, they will not leave.

    Moreover, Lu Bu stipulated in the Han Dynasty Laws that in order to ensure the safety of the families of officials at all levels, the families of all township-level officials must live in the county town and be protected by county soldiers. The family members of all county-level officials must live in the county town and be protected by county soldiers.  Under the protection of county soldiers, the families of all county-level officials must live in the state city and be protected by state soldiers. The family members of state-level officials at all levels must live in Luoyang Capital City and be protected by the central army.  This method sounds like protection, but not like monitoring. No official at any level can easily defect to other forces unless you ruthlessly and resolutely abandon all your children.

    Even if some officials insist on their families fleeing the Han Dynasty because of too much corruption, even if the families of these corrupt officials try to escape again, they will not be able to escape the pursuit of Lu Bu's three major intelligence organizations all over the world.

    Lu Bu now fully understands why there were three types of institutions: Dongchang, Xichang, and Jinyiwei during the Ming Dynasty.The secret service organization will be so notorious because the enemies of these spy organizations are Donglin Party members and others who control public opinion. These bastards who steal national resources for personal gain naturally wish that the court did not monitor them at all. In fact, the entire  During the Ming Dynasty, when there were Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the emperor could stay away from the court for decades and the court was as stable as Mount Tai. That idiot in Chongzhen listened to the Donglin Party's deception, weakened Jinyiwei, abolished Dongchang, and revoked the control of officials at all levels.  Monitoring, but the result was that the courtiers were still deceived every day. The Donglin Party was secretly enriching itself, Shanxi merchants based on Shanxi aristocratic officials had fornication with the Manchu Tatars, and all kinds of traitors appeared in disguise, which began to ring the death knell of the Ming Dynasty.

    Lu Bu learned from Emperor Chongzhen's lesson. Not only did he not weaken the privileges of the three major intelligence organizations under his command, he also slightly strengthened their power, granting them the power of arrest, interrogation and partial execution. However, they did not have the power to execute officials above the sixth rank.  , the power to deal with high-ranking officials is in the hands of Lu Bu and his heirs, and the leaders of these three major intelligence organizations were changed every ten years during Lu Bu's time, and have been rotated every five years since then to prevent them from losing their tail.

    Lu Bu learned this whistleblower protection system not only from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, but also from the evil U.S. imperialism and British imperialism.

    Generally speaking, corrupt people will not report themselves. In an anti-corruption system where people do not accuse officials and people do not sue, someone needs to do it. This whistleblower is called a "whistleblower" in the West, just like a referee on a football field.  When someone breaks the rules.  The referee will blow the whistle.

    It is quite an image to call whistleblowers "whistleblowers". With such whistleblowers, every public official needs to maintain self-discipline at all times. If he does not follow the rules, he will be stopped by the whistle and sent off.

    Although blowing the whistle cannot cure the disease, one thing is for sure, "blowing" is better than not "blowing".  At least the perpetrators' behavior has been stopped, at least the perpetrators have to think twice before committing suicide, and at least the perpetrators' domineering arrogance can be suppressed.  It is precisely because of this that countries and regions that have done well in anti-corruption have established "whistleblower" systems.  The United States has the "Whistleblower Protection Act" and the United Kingdom has the "Public Interest Disclosure Act of 1998", both of which are specialized legislation to protect and encourage "whistleblowers."

    The "Whistleblower Protection Act" promulgated in the United States in 1989 stipulates that if the Department of Justice receives a complaint or report from a whistleblower and decides to participate in the prosecution as a plaintiff or witness, the whistleblower can receive 13% to 25% of the compensation; if the Justice Department  The Ministry of Justice does not participate, and the whistleblower can investigate and prosecute on his own.  You can get 25% to 30% of the fine.

    The Western whistleblowing system has not only achieved great results in the field of anti-corruption, but has also been very effective in the fields of stock markets and food and drug supervision.  The U.S. stock market is recognized as the fastest-growing stock market. One of the important reasons is that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission established the "whistleblower" system earlier. According to this system, whistleblowers can receive a reward of 30% of the amount involved. Once verified,  Counterfeiters and insider traders can be sentenced to up to 25 years in prison.  Heavy rewards and heavy penalties are the core of the American whistleblower system.

    Fraud and insider trading occur frequently in listed companies in some countries, and food and drug problems emerge one after another.  If a "whistleblower" system is introduced, whistleblowers can receive heavy rewards.  If you can get protection, why worry about whistleblowers not coming from within?  Why worry about the unstable growth of the stock market?  Why worry about food and medicine being unsafe?  It is regrettable that the relevant departments turn a blind eye and listen to the good Western systems.

    Once this system is activated, the entire anti-corruption system will enter a healthy operating state, society will enter a cultural and moral atmosphere that pursues advancement, and the whistleblower will receive a share of the fine.  The bonuses are not set up by the court with public funds. No matter how much profit the whistleblower makes, they still come from the pockets of the perpetrators.

    Lu Bu is now in the third century. He has no baggage of any doctrine or any ideological burden.  He does not think that the East is necessarily correct, nor does he think that the West is necessarily wrong, nor does he think that ancient feudalism is necessarily wrong. Lu Bu discovered an amazing fact, whether it is ancient China or Western countries in the 21st century  , in terms of anti-corruption, they are all smarter. The reason why they are smart is that they are really willing to fight corruption.

    When it came to protecting the whistleblower, Lu Bu decided to learn from the Germans. He learned from the cautious and persistent Germans and provided all-round legal protection for witnesses.  First of all, when questioned, witnesses can refuse to disclose relevant identity information such as where they live and where they work; they can ask to cover themselves with a screen or mask, or sit in a testimony room made of one-way glass, with the witness inside  The outside can be seen, but the witnesses inside cannot be seen from the outside.  Secondly, when it is believed that the witness is threatened, the witness can testify in a court excluding the presence of the defendant, his lawyer and third parties.  If this is not enough to ensure the safety of the witness, the witness can request to be heard outside the court and testify using special methods such as video and audio transmission using high technology, including voice change and image change processing.  If that doesn't work, you can use the entrusted interrogation method to make a transcript and submit it to the court.  These systems are progressive, interlocking, thorough and meticulous, these witness protection systems that were not adopted by some countries in the 21st century were completely copied by Lu Bu in the third century.

    All states in the United States treat retaliation against witnesses as a crime, with a maximum penalty of death, and in some countries the maximum penalty is seven years. Lu Bu classifies retaliation against a whistleblower as a felony, with a maximum penalty of life imprisonment and incidental and several penalties.  liability, with the possibility of a thousand years of hard labor.

    In Western countries, their laws, whether they are legislation or law enforcement, keep the identity of whistleblowers strictly confidential. They will never unscrupulously send the whistleblower's information to the bureaucrat who is being reported, because that is simply a tacit permission for the other party to crack down on the whistleblower.  revenge.  As a ruler, Lu Bu would never be so shameless and unscrupulous in protecting corrupt officials. The law of the Han Dynasty stipulates: "The licensee shall not answer personal information or only tell his previous identity. The name or address of the informant shall not be disclosed, or  Any matter that may lead to the exposure of the whistleblower. For records containing any name or characteristics of the whistleblower or that may lead to the disclosure of the whistleblower, the court shall conceal all such materials and, if necessary, blackout them.¡±

    Lu Bu knew that the Han Dynasty was a humane society and was very lenient towards corruption. Many people had a negative attitude of being wise and self-protective. What's more, they had a mentality of "I have to get involved" in order to curb these people's negative attitudes.  , Lu Bu followed Western countries and made it a crime to know the truth and fail to disclose it. It is stipulated in the law of the Han Dynasty: "Anyone who knows the truth and fails to disclose it or pretends not to know it, even if it does not involve any benefit provision or gain, can also be held accountable for disciplinary responsibility. If  If the failure to report is to benefit someone or to harm someone's interests, you must also bear criminal responsibility. Anyone who knowingly protects or fails to report the corruption will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than 20 years.  "
