Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 577: Very contradictory…

The advertisement came very smoothly, not blunt at all, well-founded, and just a little natural, so it caught the officials present by surprise.

In just a moment, the entire courtyard was immersed in the melody of ice and fire.

Among the officials present, there are many who support the New Deal, but there are also those who oppose the New Deal.

As soon as the advertisement came out, it seemed that everyone had put a banner on their faces, showing that the camp was clear.

However, after a short period of anger and surprise, everyone fell into a new meditation...

Because they found a very sharp contradiction.

That is, which side is this kid on?

As the president of the court, Zhang Fei is undoubtedly a representative of judicial reform, and judicial reform originated from Sima Guang, who is also a representative of opposition to the Youth Law and a leader of the conservative faction.

This....

As a result, everyone asked the Beijing officials Yuan Jiang and Zheng Xie one after another.

Yuan Jiang is biased towards Wang Anshi, and Zheng Xie is a staunch conservative.

But the statements given by the two are surprisingly consistent.

That's... don't know!

But they didn't feel any surprise in it, because Zhang Fei in the capital had defended the new law, won the first shot for Wang Anshi's employment law, and at the same time made suggestions for Sima Guang's judicial reform. It provides the theoretical basis for judicial reform, that is, the law of the legal system.

If you ask me where he is from, I really want to know too.

This can make everyone depressed.

How did this kid do it?

As for Zhang Fei, he didn't take their whispers to heart at all, and after a short rest, he began to hear the next lawsuit.

This kind of trial speed, in ancient times, is simply called super fast.

In the past, many geniuses in the county government publicly tried a case. Generally speaking, after the pleadings were handed over to the government, they were first tried by the knife and pen officials, who wrote their own opinions, and then submitted them to the chief registry for review. After the book thinks there is no problem, it will be handed over to the county lord, who will be sentenced directly when the county lord is free.

After all, for the county lord, finances are the key.

Although law and order are also very important, the county government will not spend too much energy on public trials of such small civil lawsuits.

In the next lawsuit, the employer sued his own tenant farmer, but it was similar to Chen Liugen's eucalyptus.

This is the tragedy of owner farmers and sharecroppers.

But there is also a little difference, that is, the employer is in urgent need of money now, and requires the tenant to pay back the money immediately.

"Li Nianci."

"Xiaomin is here."

The young man standing on the plaintiff's seat immediately cupped his hands.

Zhang Fei asked: "Can you tell me why you need this sum of money urgently, because judging from your family situation, you should not be short of these eleven strings of money."

Li Nianci immediately said: "Returning to the chief judge, Xiaomin is from Daming Mansion. He came here to sell salt with his father in the early years, and bought some fields in Hezhong Mansion with the profits from the salt sale. Now my father is old. Gao, I hope to return to the Daming Mansion, so Xiaomin has to clear these debts quickly."

The merchants of the Song Dynasty were very financially minded, and they were more inclined to manage land rather than coins, because the Song Dynasty did not restrain land mergers. The money is put in the fields, rented out to self-cultivated farmers, and 50% of the income is taken by themselves.

Wait until I want to leave, and then sell the field. Compared with the little deed tax, the annual harvest of the field is obviously more.

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I see."

Li Nianci took out some deeds again, "This is the deed of the land that Xiaomin has sold in the past three months. Please have a look at it."

"Submit."

......

The officials and landlords on the side are all looking forward to it.

This time, you have to award the tenant farmer's land to Li Nianci. He is about to leave. Do you want to use flying money to pay it back?

Zhang Fei looked carefully at the deeds for selling the land, and asked Cai Jing and others: "How many fields does Gu Shuiliu's family have?"

Shangguan Jun said: "Twenty-one mu of land."

Zhang Fei asked again: "What is the market value?"

"...?"

Shangguan Jun was a little dumbfounded, "This field of Gu Shuiliu's family is rich and poor, and the students don't know how much it is worth."

Cai Jingdao: "Students reckon, no matter what, it should be worth seventeen or eight."

Looking at their uncertain eyes, Zhang Fei said, "It's no wonder you, after all, this is not what we are good at, and we don't have so much energy. Cai Jing, you go to the dental clinic tomorrow to find some professionals in this field." .”

Cai Jing nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhang Fei looked up at Li Nianci again and said, "Since your father and son are eager to leave, the Gu family should pay off all the debts immediately. Moreover, the interest you gave Gu Shuiliu is also slightly lower than the legal interest stipulated by the court. Gu Shuiliu It should also be repaid in full."

"Thank you, President Zhang."

Li Nianci cupped his hands happily.

Those big landowners are all eyeballs rolling around, there is still room for manipulation!

As long as I can prove that I need money urgently.

Zhang Fei looked at the middle-aged man on the right again, "Gu Shuiliu."

"Xiaomin is here!"

Gu Shuiliu lowered his head and replied in a low voice.

Zhang Fei said: "You are a very hardworking and honest farmer, borrowing money is out of helplessness, and the chief judge is willing to help you once."

Gu Shuiliu suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Fei excitedly.

Zhang Fei said: "You first take the land deed to raise the mortgage loan of Changping Division to repay Li Nianci's debt, because the interest of raising Changping Division is two cents, which is far lower than the market loan interest. And you said just now that you There will also be some carpentry work, I can introduce you to the branch office to help, and at the same time I will ask Sergeant Ma to hand over some uniforms to your wife, if you work hard, you should be able to pay it off within a year."

As soon as these words came out, the big landlords and officials present were dumbfounded again.

Can I still do this?

Compared to the previous remarks, this publicity is simply super hardcore!

Borrow low-interest loans to pay off high-interest debts.

It won't be long before all the loans on the market come from the Changping Company!

Gu Shuiliu couldn't help but burst into tears with excitement, "Thank you, Chief Judge, thank you, Chief Judge."

"Thank you, Sergeant Ma."

Zhang Fei pointed at Ma Xiaoyi beside him and smiled.

"Thank you, Sheriff Ma, thank you, Sheriff Ma."

Gu Shuiliu thanked Ma Xiaoyi excitedly.

Ma Xiaoyi hehe said: "It's a trivial matter, you are the same as Chen Liugen, go to the police station near you and ask, they will tell you what to do."

"Yes, yes, thank you, thank you."

......

Cao Dongdong said to Fu Shichun in a low voice: "Brother Xiaochun, in the next retrial, I will transfer Xiao Ma away, and I will personally appear in court to assist Zhang San."

Fu Shichun and Fan Zheng looked at Cao Dongdong with question marks on their faces.

Why do you have a sense of elegance?

Cao Dongdong said: "The last time I appeared in court, my reputation was damaged. I have to find a way to get it back."

Fu Shichun was speechless for a while, and said: "Didn't you see that the one who is really grateful is Zhang San, not Xiao Ma. If you really want to improve your reputation, you might as well arrange work for them yourself and pay them wages Give it to them, they will surely thank you then."

Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes, "This is a good idea."

.......

After this judgment, although it is not known whether he is new or old, one thing is certain, that is, the imperial court is extremely unfriendly to the big landlord.

The next few lawsuits are all about loan disputes.

As for Zhang Fei's judgment, the route remains the same, basically stopping the interest increase, extending the repayment period, and giving different help to the debtor's integrity.

For people with good integrity, they will take the initiative to give them work and let them earn money to repay the loan.

As for those old Lai, they are required to find a job as soon as possible and provide a repayment plan, otherwise, they will be forced to sell their labor.

This makes the faces of most landlords very ugly.

Because their appeal is land merger, not the little interest money, the landlord must pursue land merger for development, otherwise, how can he become a landlord?

But the judgment of the imperial court is often to stick to the basic guarantee of people's life.

If it is a lawsuit between wealthy households, the imperial court will rule on the ownership of the land, but these lawsuits are all lawsuits between farmers and landlords.

Owner farmers only have that little land, which is to ensure their basic livelihood.

Based on this calculation, land annexation will become very difficult.

Of course, some wealthy households are also happy about this, because these judgments are to ensure the interests of creditors first, which is also good news for some wealthy households with low social status and no background.

After all, there are no absolutes in the world. There are malicious landlords, but there are also scoundrels. This is the most basic protection for many people who make a living by lending money.

Again, the **** decides the head.

......

It was approaching noon in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Fei, who never worked overtime, said decisively: "This morning's trial will come to an end."

"Is it over?"

"It's still early, and there is still an afternoon before dinner."

"Is the trial still in the afternoon?"

.....

The common people are watching it with enthusiasm. For them, this kind of judgment is really like a novel plot, and they don't want to stop. If you are hungry, you can try it while eating!

Of course, Zhang Fei will ignore them. This kind of review may seem easy, but it is actually very tiring. He has to review a lot of relevant materials. Su Zhe, "Does the procuratorate have any objections to Cai's judgment?"

Su Zhe stood up and said, "We have no objection to the judge's judgment, but we are confused about the judgment scale. Based on the few lawsuits just now, the chief judge kept emphasizing one point, that is, the basic guarantee of people's lives , and explained that what exceeds this amount should be returned to the creditor, but I don’t know what specific regulations are for this basic guarantee.”

"No!"

Zhang Fei replied simply and clearly.

"...?"

Su Zhe was a little confused.

Zhang Fei also explained: "Because it is difficult to stipulate, for example, two families have parents, but the parents of one family are healthy and can help with work, while the parents of the other family are bedridden. , it is obviously wrong to give the same standard, and it depends on the specific situation and specific judgment.

Here, I reiterate that my judgment is not necessarily accurate, because the evidence I have is limited. Whether it is the defendant, the plaintiff, or the procuratorate, if you have evidence, you can immediately submit it, or you can submit it in appeal within the stipulated time. "

Speaking of this, he looked at Su Zhe, "The supervision of your procuratorate is not just to watch me from the chief judge, but to investigate relevant evidence in a targeted manner."

The implication is that the procuratorate is not Yushitai, and it has to use evidence to speak. If it feels suspicious, it should start an investigation instead of questioning the chief judge. For such cases, the chief judge can only provide evidence from both parties. evidence to make a verdict.

"Please rest assured the chief judge on this point, our procuratorate will also give the prosecution, and what I ask is, the imperial court's judgment standard for this, after all, this is not stipulated by the law. But the chief judge has something to say Reasonably, it is really not easy to make detailed regulations.”

Su Zhe immediately said again: "In addition, there is also about the promotion of Changping Division. Just then, the chief judge also mentioned the promotion of Changping Division several times, but as far as I know, the promotion of Changping Division also requires interest. Two cents per month is actually not low, and borrowing new debts to repay old debts is not a wise move. Although on the other hand, the chief judge also provided them with a livelihood for repaying debts, but if they have an accident, they will What should the imperial court do if the debts owed by the Changping Secretary are still unclear?"

Zhang Fei said: "The president of the judge is just a suggestion, not a coercion. If they have other ways, they don't have to go. If they go, but still don't go, it's another lawsuit, and they can only go to the court." We'll review it later."

Su Zhe immediately said: "The promotion of Chang Pingsi is a government office, not a private person. I don't know if the judgment standard of the imperial court will be the same, because as far as I know, the highest penalty principle of the imperial court is to defend the country. and monarch interest."

As Zhang Fei kept emphasizing that the idea of ​​the rule of law had already been engraved in his mind, Su Zhe also learned a lesson. No matter what questions he asked, he would try his best to give the idea of ​​the rule of law, so that Zhang Fei would not use it as an excuse. Argue yourself.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The judge's judgment is to fully protect the interests of creditors, and to help them recover their legal debts as much as possible. This judgment standard is of course also applicable to the promotion of Changping, and it is also It does not violate the highest principle of the imperial court."

Su Zhe cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, chief judge, for your clarification. Su has no other questions."

He is absolutely opposed to the Young Crop Law, and the reason for his opposition is the same as Sima Guang's. The Young Crop Law will eventually become a money-gathering machine for the country, rather than for the sake of the people.

His question is to use Zhang Fei's mouth to provide the procuratorate with a reason to suppress the young crop law.

"Out of court!"

As soon as Zhang Fei hit the hammer, he got up and left.

As soon as he left, there was a lot of discussion inside and outside the courtyard.

What is discussed outside is the penalty standard.

And it talks more about the green seedling method.

"Bachelor Yuan, you... don't you find it strange?"

He Chunlin looked at Yuan Jiang blankly.

Yuan Jiang asked: "What's so strange?"

He Chunlin said: "This imperial court is incompatible with our Transshipment Division, and the promotion of Changping Division belongs to our Transshipment Division. Why does he still speak for us?"

Yuan Jiang snorted and said, "You're such a muddy lake! He's not talking for us, he's digging a hole and pushing us to jump into it. Think about it, when we promote Chang Ping Si borrow Money needs debts, but they are all checked and balanced by their imperial court, can't you see that?"

He didn't think about anything else just now, he was just thinking about how to explain it.

Of course he knew that Zhang Fei was doing this to promote the young crop method.

But on the surface, he and Zhang Fei are in a tit-for-tat relationship, and he is the manager of Changping Division, which will inevitably arouse their doubts.

He Chunlin suddenly came to his senses and felt that Yuan Jiang's explanation was very reasonable, "It turns out that this is the case. This person has a lot of evil intentions. But whether to borrow or not is up to us to decide. We will not borrow. Let's see." How did he end up."

Yuan Jiang snorted and said: "If you don't borrow it, you will be responsible for the blame from above? The imperial court asked us to implement the Qingmiao Law, not to fight with the imperial court. Don't even think about it, that kid is shrewd, He dared to say that in public, because he was sure that we would not dare not borrow."

He Chunlin was suddenly confused.
