Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 370: Legislative power

Chapter 370 Legislative power

Zhang Fei suggested to Zhao Xu a long time ago to gradually shift the focus of taxation from agriculture to commerce.

Zhao Xu also agrees with this very much.

Because the reality has already told Zhao Xu that there is no way to correct the problems existing in the agricultural tax. Efforts to rectify the agricultural tax is really thankless, and the key point is that it cannot be done.

Arranging business, as long as you play well, you can use business rules to collect agricultural taxes.

The big landlords hoarded so much grain that they had to sell it.

On the one hand, the law of the rule of law can promote commercial development, and at the same time, the emperor can use the law of the rule of law to control this force.

"I see."

Zhao Xu nodded, but he still frowned and said: "But my ministers may not take this into consideration when amending the regulations."

Zhang Fei was slightly taken aback, thinking, Ouch! Why am I so confused, what he is most worried about now should be the legislative power.

That's exactly what happened.

What disturbed Zhao Xu the most about Fu Bi's move was the legislative power.

Zhao Xu was obsessed with the pardon beforehand.

However, Fu Bi suggested that the best talents from all over the world should be summoned to revise the law, and it should be regarded as the top priority of the country.

Probably just to normalize.

This part of the power may be left behind.

Although Zhang Fei guessed that Fu Bi mainly wanted to make up for Qingli's regret, as an emperor, Zhao Xu's first consideration was of course the imperial power.

Zhang Fei pondered for a while, and said: "As for how to amend the regulations, I actually don't know how to do it."

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Aren't you being modest, I see that you speak the truth in class!"

"I'm really not being humble."

Zhang Fei hurriedly shook his head, hesitated for a while, and said again: "Your Majesty has issued some pardons before, right?"

Zhao Xu nodded.

Zhang Fei said: "Have you ever been rejected?"

This is really which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted. Zhao Xu said depressedly: "It is often rejected."

Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, can we discuss the matter?"

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "I repeat, I still hope that you can be the same as before, and you can tell me everything, and I can assure you that I will not blame you for anything you say."

He admired Wang Anshi so much, but one of the main reasons why he was influenced by Zhang Fei was that he had established a slight friendship with Zhang Fei, and it could even be said that Zhang Fei was his only friend.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Fei immediately said: "As far as the matter is concerned, is there really no problem with His Majesty's pardon?"

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "I don't deny it. If they can't make sense, they don't dare to dismiss my amnesty easily, but I also issued those amnesty orders for the existing problems."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Of course I know this, but what I want to say is that in matters of legislation, wisdom is only second, and the key lies in experience and experience. The reason why His Majesty's pardon is problematic is because Your Majesty did not go to the people to experience it himself, and what he learned came from the ministers. The same pardon may be very effective in the south, but it will have a counterproductive effect in the north, because the ministers who respond are from different places. "

Zhao Xu nodded frequently and said: "It makes sense, it is true."

Zhang Fei said: "I'm only in my twenties, and I lack experience and experience, so I really don't have the ability to practice the Dharma." At this point, he changed the subject, "But the world's elite may not be It can be cultivated, especially if this method is still based on the law of the rule of law."

Zhao Xu was surprised and said: "The world's elites may not be able to cultivate?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "As I said in class, the law of legalism is from top to bottom, while the law of legal system is from bottom to top, if only the smartest people in the world are allowed to practice the law , The law that is cultivated must be the law of the Legalists, and it cannot be the law of the legal system, because these smart people often think about how I should manage it, instead of carefully thinking about what kind of disputes there will be among the people. entanglement."

After three classes, Zhao Xu was able to understand Zhang Fei's meaning very quickly, and asked again: "Then who is qualified to practice this method?"

Zhang Fei replied: "It is those judicial officials who have traveled to various places. They know the specific situation of the people in various places best."

Zhao Xu frowned slightly and said: "But if they have a solution, these problems will not be passed on to the court."

"What Your Majesty said is true." Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, and said again: "Then the problem is very simple. Geniuses like Fu Gong lack the experience of directly facing the people, but they are full of Wisdom.

Conversely, those lowest-level judicial officials have a deep understanding of the civil situation, but they lack sufficient wisdom to solve these problems.

It just so happens that the lower-level officials in my court need to be changed every three years. On the way to the change, I can let them come to the capital first to organize a legislative meeting with the prime ministers of the DPRK and China. "

Zhao Xu was taken aback, "Legislative meeting?"

"Good."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Your Majesty will preside over it personally. The two sides will discuss legislation and amendments in the form of defense. Both sides can ask questions to each other.

At that time, it will be clear at a glance whether it is an implementation problem or a lack of law, and some serious problems can be resolved in time, and even the specific situation of the new law in various places can be clearly understood.

The key point is that this will also allow you, Your Majesty, to know exactly what the situation of the people in various places is, so that you will not be deceived by others and promulgate wrong policies.

In fact, many emperors in ancient times also wanted to be a wise king, but they often got some biased news, which led to policy mistakes. "

Zhao Xu nodded frequently when he heard it. Although he has only been on the throne for two years, he is deeply touched.

The same thing, the reformers and the conservatives just have different views, and they both say it makes sense, and he doesn't know who to listen to.

"But.."

Zhao Xu was a little suspicious again, "The officials at the bottom are all afraid of the prime minister, I'm afraid they won't dare to tell the truth then!"

The implication is that the superiors and subordinates sit together, and it has been discussed a long time ago, and the performance is shown to them.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Therefore, His Majesty wants to introduce a third party to ask questions to both of them, so as to force them not to dare to pass the song secretly."

"Third party?"

Zhao Xu asked: "Is there anyone in this world who is not afraid of the prime minister?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes."

"Who?"

"These are the candidates."

Zhang Fei said: "First of all, those examinees are also from various places, and they also know the situation of the people in various places. Secondly, they are all young and vigorous, and they are not officials, so they don't need to be afraid of those prime ministers."

"Who said that."

Zhao Xu snorted: "Many examinees have already been accepted as sons-in-law by the prime minister of the court before taking the imperial examination."

Zhang Fei blinked, "Really?"

Zhao Xu said: "Don't you even know this? Didn't Fu Bi just fall in love with Yan Shu at the beginning, and then he was accepted as his son-in-law?"

"It's no wonder those examinees worked so hard, and they didn't hesitate to work hard for ten years. It turned out that they didn't want to work hard."

Zhang Fei looked at Zhao Xu eagerly, "Your Majesty, do you think I am too old to take the imperial examination now?"

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, then he said, "You're not too old, but no one dares to make a move on you."

"Why?"

"Haven't you become the Xu family's son-in-law?"

"Uh."

Zhang Fei suddenly realized, yes! Although I didn't participate in the imperial examination, I still had a soft meal. It's a pity that the Xu family's meal is a little too bland, so I have to work **** my own! well.

"That's it."

Zhao Xu waved his hand, "Don't think about the imperial examination, just your articles and writing style, it's true!"

Zhang Fei said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I think I have a big problem with the imperial examination. It is better to judge people by their appearance than to judge the writing style. Then I will definitely be in high school."

Zhao Xu said with a chuckle: "It makes sense, you can talk about this issue next time in class."

"Uh, what did you say just now?"

"Candidate."

"Yes yes yes!"

Zhang Fei said: "In my opinion, the primary need of candidates is not to be a son-in-law to the prime minister, but their primary purpose is to pass the imperial examination, which is in the hands of His Majesty.

If their problems in the legislative meeting will directly affect His Majesty's opinion of them, even if you face the old man, you will definitely not show mercy.

And based on what I know about those candidates, they are very flamboyant and love to show off themselves. As long as they are allowed to pass, they will definitely do everything possible to make things difficult for the prime minister and officials.

That's how you get famous. "

Zhao Xu nodded slightly.

Zhang Fei hit the rails again while it was hot: "If your majesty is still worried, you can even randomly select some businessmen who often go to various places to do business, and come in to ask questions, but you can't let the businessmen show up. If they do, they probably won't dare If you ask a question, you can ask them to hide behind the curtain."

"This is really feasible!"

Zhao Xu nodded straightly, "In fact, no matter whether it is based on the legal system or not, legislation can be made in this way. It happens that the scientific examination is also held every three years, and it will not add too much financial burden."

This emperor's art is not like that old Zhu who holds all the power in his hands. If he wants to do it well, he will only exhaust himself to death. arrive.

The art of **** is always about balance and checks and balances.

Even if Fu Bi and the others are trying to check and balance the emperor, they want to seize this legislative power.

Yes!

I'm going to find a group of people to watch you.

Under this legislative system, Zhao Xu doesn't need to hold on to the legislative power at all, because low-level officials must get his approval if they want to be promoted, and candidates must get his approval if they want to get promoted. As for businessmen Well, it is the class he will win over in the future.

The legislative power is given to you, and you will honestly do things well for me.

Isn't this the method of the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, which is to prevent things and control them by music.

"How many ideas are you hiding?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but asked Zhang Fei with a smile.

Zhang Fei was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is really what I just thought of."

"Really?"

"Really really."

Zhang Fei nodded straight, "To tell you the truth, I was also inspired by my own class, so I thought of these things. Otherwise, I would not have thought of using them. No, uh, let those candidates join. They made things difficult for me in class."

"That's true."

Zhao Xu nodded with a smile, "It seems that being narrow-minded is not necessarily a bad thing!"

"Uh."

Sorry! I only posted it at this time. It may be that I have really used my brain too much these days, and I have been caught in the plot of the legal system. I have been thinking and pondering every day for the past half month.

I sat blankly all afternoon today, completely out of ideas, and I seemed to have forgotten all the foreshadowing before. After dinner, I started to write.

I'm going to go out to soak my feet (regularly) now, press a button, and let myself relax.

Don't wait for the chapter in the early morning, it will be posted together tomorrow afternoon.

Sorry! Feel sorry!
