Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 641: The chicken lays the egg, the egg lays the chicken

Chapter 641 The chicken lays the egg, the egg lays the chicken

While the imperial court is dispatching troops and generals, the procuratorate, the police station, and the legal aid department are all making personnel arrangements. The public security department is indispensable. If you want to go, go to all of them. If there is one missing, don't go.

Because even if there is one missing, it is impossible to complete the system of public security law.

Su Zhe personally led the procuratorate's team, while Chen Qi stayed in Hezhong Mansion to preside over the overall situation.

The police station was even more exaggerated, directly dispatching the Big Three, Cao Dongdong, Fu Shichun, and Ma Xiaoyi all went, leaving Ou Jun and Zhou Jia in Hezhong Mansion.

Actually, before coming to Hezhong Mansion, Zhang Fei told them to train talents as soon as possible, we can't stay in Hezhong Mansion all the time.

They are also making arrangements.

The Legal Aid Department did not let Fan Zhen go. After all, Fan Zhen was too old and had more than enough stamina, but lacked impact, so he still let three young people, Qiu Zhengwen, Li Min, and Lu Bangxing lead the team.

Although none of them are government employees, they all hope to use the Legal Aid Department to make a name for themselves and establish their own bookstores in the local area.

Everyone gets what they need.

It should not be too late, after all, dozens of people in the Hezhong Mansion are looking forward to justice, so after this personnel arrangement is implemented, they set off immediately, anyway, they are next door.

Ferry.

"Remember one thing, normal heart, how you tried it in Hezhong Mansion is the same there, because one of the characteristics of the legal system is to maintain consistency.

It is common for the chief judge to make a misjudgment. , but gave a completely different verdict, which is very fatal and will destroy the entire public security system.

So, when you have nothing to do, or if you are not sure before the final judgment, you should look up our past judgments and keep these judgments in mind, and this will benefit you a lot. "

Standing by the river, Zhang Fei exhorted Cai Bian and Shangguan.

In the past two years, Zhang Fei basically asked them to handle various types of cases, just to give them experience, and the experience of the chief judge is very important, you must remember it, even if you copy it all , Follow the gourd and paint the ladle, and they are all much better than your flash of inspiration.

It's all about consistency, not creativity.

"The teacher's teaching, the students must remember it in their hearts and dare not forget it."

The two replied at the same time.

Zhang Fei nodded, and called Cai Jing aside, "Cai Jing, if you go there, you will no longer be the presiding judge. I will give you the full power to handle this dispute between the imperial court and the government. I will restrict what methods you use, I only ask for one thing, that is, don't be sued by the imperial court, except for this point, I will give you support."

Cai Jing cupped his hands and said: "Teacher, please rest assured that the students will never insult the teacher."

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "I believe in you."

Although politics and law are separated, the imperial court belongs to the government. This officialdom is not as simple as black and white. There are always people standing in the gray area. Therefore, Zhang Fei did not say that illegal means are not allowed, but emphasized not to sue the emperor. Court, because he has also used some shady means, of course he will not ask Cai Jing not to do so.

If Cai Bian, Shangguan Jun, and Ye Zu are standing in the bright area, then Cai Jing is the one standing in the gray area, and he himself enjoys it because he is very ambitious.

After negotiating with them, Zhang Fei came to Cao Dongdong's side again, looked at the enthusiastic Cao Dongdong, "I said Ya Nei, Xiaoma and the others can just go, you should follow along to join in the fun, you should stay in Hezhong Mansion to host The big picture."

"Xiao Ma and Xiao Chun have both gone, it would be so boring if I didn't go." Cao Dongdong snorted dissatisfied.

Zhang Fei was speechless for a while, "You are here to play with your feelings."

"Of course. Not." Cao Dongdong said solemnly: "I still have to visit some of my uncles and uncles. This is what my father ordered."

"Okay!"

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, and turned to Fu Shichun who was beside him, "Look a little bit."

Fu Shichun said depressedly: "You always entrust me with the most difficult tasks."

Cao Dongdong said angrily: "Xiaochun, what do you mean?"

Fu Shichun took a deep breath: "The yamen is wise and powerful, and never makes mistakes, but this guy always makes me watch you make mistakes. Isn't this task difficult?"

Cao Dongdong immediately turned his anger into joy, nodded and said: "That's right."

".!"

Zhang Fei shook his head dumbfoundingly, "Okay, okay, stop talking, get on the boat."

"Third Brother, let's go then." Ma Xiaoyi waved.

"Be careful on the road."

After they left, Su Zhe came over suddenly, "Aren't you going to tell me something?"

Zhang Fei said: "The procuratorate listens to the imperial court."

"Farewell."

"Walk slowly."

After saying goodbye, everyone boarded the boat and sailed to the other side, faintly hearing excited cheers from the other side.

It would be great if there was a flood at this time. Wei Yingfang cursed secretly, stepped forward, and said, "Why didn't President Zhang go?"

At this point, he hoped that Zhang Fei would leave. This kid felt like a needle had been stuck in their heads. Although it didn't hurt too much, he felt uncomfortable and dared not move.

Zhang Fei replied casually: "Because my wife is reluctant to part with the flowers and plants of the imperial court."

Wei Yingfang was stunned for a moment, and said with a subterranean smile: "I never imagined that President Zhang is such a dedicated person."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Of course, Madam pursued it by herself, but this official position was forced by others."

Wei Yingfang was speechless.

Although the Public Security Bureau has just walked out of Hezhong Mansion, the overall situation has already been decided. It is not necessary to know that the situation of Jingzhao Mansion will be much better than that of Hezhong Mansion, and there will not be too many obstacles. Otherwise, Zhang Fei would not rest assured that he would only send the three little King Kongs there.

Not to mention the complex salt and military administration in the Hezhong Mansion, the officials and gentry of the key Jingzhao Mansion know everything that happened in the Hezhong Mansion, and their mental preparation and experience are much more sufficient than Wei Yingfang and the others.

When Zhang Fei first came to Hezhong Mansion, he had a one-year running-in period with the government. The officials were quite unable to adapt, or later, with the cooperation of Zhang Fei and Yuan Jiang, the authority of the public security law was further extended, At the same time, the government also found its own status, and everyone slowly got along with each other.

At this time, the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion must already know what the public security law will do, and how they should get along with the public security law to protect their own interests. There will definitely be disputes, but they will not be very intense, and Cai Bian They also don't need to assert the authority of the public prosecutor's law step by step like Zhang Fei did. Everyone already knows the rules, just follow the Hezhong Mansion.

So Zhang Fei believes that his mission in Hezhong Mansion has been completed, and he will not worry about it, and keep an eye on it every day, because he can't complete it by himself, and he can't take care of him, so he still has to let go. , success depends on God, if you want to fail, you can only accept it.

But if it was Sima Guang, he would probably act steadily, staring at this, staring at that, wishing to grow eyes on his forehead, staring at everyone all the time.

As for Wang Anshi, he may think about all the problems first, and then according to his own ideas, directly build the public security law on the entire Shaanxi Road, instead of laying the foundation in Hezhong Mansion first like Zhang Fei, and then promote.

It can be seen that Zhang Fei's character is also between Wang Anshi and Sima Guang.

The step-by-step expansion of the Public Prosecution Law has further aggravated the fear and resistance of officials in the DPRK and China towards the Public Prosecution Law.

Yes, although it did not explicitly say that the administration of officials should be rectified, the government has not taken any action in this regard, but now if you stretch out your hand more, you may be sued, not to mention officials with knife and pen, even officials. The expenditure of the Legation was nearly 70% lower than in previous years, but it must be known that the number of officials who went to Hezhong Mansion this year has broken the record and is the most ever.

This is not going to work, so more officials choose to support the New Deal.

The lesser of these two evils!

They pinned all their hopes on the finances of East Jingdong Road.

It's a pity that the house leak happened to rain overnight, when the financial revenue of Hezhong Prefecture and Tokyo East Road were passed on to Tokyo Bianliang one after another.

This silenced the entire reformist faction.

It's over!

It's all over!

Comparing the two, the result is really disappointing!

They all know in their hearts that the most important thing for the emperor at the moment is the national finance. Every year when the accounts are calculated, Zhao Xu has to hold a meeting, so this year is no exception. However, this meeting also includes the dispute between the old and the new , so it is particularly special.

In the Chuigong Palace, the reformist officials are full of melancholy and panic, while the conservatives are full of joy, vividly on the paper.

Obviously they all already know the specific details.

The outcome is decided.

Wang Anshi glanced at Sima Guang secretly, seeing that he was also full of confidence, he couldn't help but smile to himself, he will be mad at you, little old man.

In fact, Sima Guang has been secretly observing Wang Anshi's actions, and he has seen it all, secretly thinking, if it is so, you villain, let me make you happy for a while.

At this time, Ji Xiang Lu Gong first stood up and said, "I would like to inform the officials that the tax revenue of various places last year was almost the same as that of previous years. Only the tax revenue of Hezhong Mansion and Tokyo Dongdong Road has increased significantly. One thing is that since Jiangnan Liulu implemented the equalization method, this year’s capital’s food has also increased compared with previous years.”

"Good!"

When Zhao Xu heard the words, he couldn't help being excited and said: "These three places are all places where the new law is implemented. Now the finances of the three places have improved. It can be seen that my choice at the beginning was not wrong. I am very happy!"

Almost all the ministers stood up and shouted for the emperor to be holy.

Nowadays, both the reformers and the conservatives are actually carrying out reforms, but the plans are different, one is radical and the other is conservative, and the "new law" in the mouth of the emperor naturally includes judicial reform, not just the New Deal.

Lu Huiqing suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it can be seen from the facts that the new laws and regulations formulated by the Regulations of the Second Government are of great benefit to the finances and the people. To improve, I suggest that the equalization method, the young crop method, and the exemption method be implemented nationwide this year.”

Conservative officials felt something was wrong with Lu Huiqing's words, and cheered up.

Zhao Yan then stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the public security law is indeed of great benefit to the people and the country, but the young crop law is not necessarily so. According to what I know, although the young crop law on Jingdong East Road has increased the finances, but Ling also owed a lot of debts to the local people, which brought an even heavier burden to the people, please be aware of it."

Zhao Xu's expression changed slightly, he was a little upset, I know you guys are going to fight, but at least let me brag first!

He is a staunch supporter of reform. Whether it is the public security law or the new law, he supports it. Now he has achieved great success, which is enough to prove that his choice is right. This is of great help to him who has just ascended the throne. , because it can consolidate his throne and authority.

Now that you have just shouted a word of Shengming, you will start.

It's really embarrassing.

Sure enough, Lu Huiqing immediately retorted: "Mr. Zhao's words are wrong. Yes, the Green Crop Law did make many people in debt, but relatively speaking, compared with those people who borrowed usury before, the debt is much less. The burden should also be reduced a lot, at least they can repay it, which is a good thing, not a bad thing. Could it be that they won't borrow money if they don't have young crop money?"

"It's really hard to say."

Liu Shu immediately stood up and said: "The Green Crop Law is also implemented in Hezhong Prefecture, but there are not many local people to borrow the Green Crop Money, because the local government also provides a lot of livelihood for the people, so that they can earn money to get through this period. At the same time, the imperial court has repeatedly told the people that compared with usury, although the interest on young crop money is low, it will eventually have to be repaid, so be careful.

On the other hand, in order to obtain more interest, officials on Jingdong East Road encourage local people to borrow money, and even let local wealthy households share the burden, allowing many wealthy households who do not need to borrow money to borrow money from young crops.

However, even so, the financial growth of this Hezhong Prefecture is far better than that of the entire Jingdong East Road, which shows its superiority. "

After hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help asking: "Really?"

Lu Gongzhu immediately said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is true that the Hezhong government's finances have increased by more than two million guan, while the finances of the entire Jingdong East Road have only increased by more than 300,000 guan. It’s just one period, if it’s based on two periods, it’s roughly six to seven hundred thousand per year.”

Zhao Xu was shocked and said, "Is it so different?"

I have to say, this emperor is also a pure acting school.

Wen Yanbo stood up and said: "Officials, the financial growth of Hezhong Prefecture is due to the Public Security Law, not the Green Crop Law, because the implementation of the Green Crop Law on Jingdong East Road is the same in Hezhong Prefecture Absolutely prohibited, this is evident.”

"Wen Gong's words are justified."

Zhao Yan added: "Hezhong Prefecture and Jingdong East Road both implement the exemption law and the young crop law, but why the financial growth of Jingdong East Road is not as good as that of Hezhong Prefecture. The only difference is that Hezhong Prefecture has a public security law. , but Jingdong East Road does not.”

Many ministers immediately stood up and expressed their support.

This is the point that conservatives have been emphasizing at present. They believe that the court should not spend so much energy on implementing the New Deal, but should concentrate on implementing the Public Security Law. This is the way out for the country.

Lu Huiqing said with a smile: "Zhao Xiang is really deaf to what's going on outside the window!"

Zhao Yan squinted at him, "What do you mean?"

Lu Huiqing said: "Anyone who has carefully read the accounts of the Hezhong Mansion will not think that this is the credit of the public prosecutor's law. It is written in black and white. These credits obviously belong to the new law. On the contrary, the new law completes the public prosecutor's law."

As soon as this remark came out, not only the conservatives, but even many officials of the reformers were dumbfounded.

What does this mean?

Isn't it like the finances of the two places?

"You're talking nonsense."

Liu Shu stood up immediately.

Lu Huiqing said: "Your Majesty, how dare someone Lu talk nonsense."

Zhao Xu also asked curiously: "Lu Xiaokan, what did you mean by that just now?"

Lu Huiqing said: "Your Majesty, the Public Prosecution Law is only concerned with the judiciary, not finance. What is the relationship between financial growth and the Public Procuratorate?"

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, his expression slightly confused.

Yes!

What does judicial reform have to do with finances?

Wen Yanbo immediately retorted: "Who says it doesn't matter, the public security law brings stability to the Hezhong government, combats corruption, avenges the people's grievances, and makes the people's lives worry-free. It is the reason for the increase in tax revenue."

Lu Huiqing said with a look of disdain: "Mr. Wen is very reasonable, but the key is not the public security law, but the finances. That's why I said that the new law completes the public security law."

Wen Yanbo frowned, "Why do you say that?"

Lu Huiqing suddenly looked at Mr. Lu, "Master Ji, what you said just now was only about the increase in Hezhong Mansion's finances, but did not mention expenditures, but I don't know how the Hezhong Mansion spent last year?"

Gong Lu hesitated a little, "The expenditure of Hezhong Mansion also increased a lot last year, about 300,000 guan, but after deducting these expenses, the finance of Hezhong Mansion still increased by more than 200 guan."

Lu Huiqing asked again: "Then where are these extra expenditures going to be spent?"

Lu Gong hesitated for a while, and said: "Most of them are used for public prosecution."

Lu Huiqing said with a smile: "Thousands of royal police and auxiliary police, hundreds of prosecutors, and dozens of probation assistants, all of which were not available in the previous government. More than a dozen yamen, one office worker, and at most some patrolling soldiers.

The rewards they receive are far less than the expenditure of a procuratorate, and even less than the entire public security law. It is said that there must be brave men under this heavy reward. If so many talents and such a large financial support were given to the previous government , I believe it can also bring stability to Hezhong Prefecture, promote business development, and so on. "

Liu Shudao: "Lv Xiaokan's words are putting the cart before the horse. Yes, the public security law will indeed increase financial expenditures, but it can bring in millions of dollars in financial increases. Compared with that, that little expenditure is nothing to worry about." !”

Lu Huiqing ignored him, and continued to ask Lu Gongzhu: "Dare to ask Ji Xiang, where does the increased revenue from the finance come from?"

Mr. Lu frowned, "Tax Department and Transshipment Department."

As soon as this remark came out, the reformist officials were immediately overjoyed, and shouted in their hearts, it was really a good move to get rid of the bottom line.

On the other hand, the conservatives were not as excited as they were just now, all of them were frowning and panicked.

It can only be said that life is too exciting

Lu Huiqing said: "Can you tell me about it in detail."

Lu Gong said: "First of all, the Taxation Department combined the experience of exemption tax into one tax in Hezhong Prefecture, and used self-declaration to severely crack down on tax evasion and tax evasion. The effect was immediate and increased income by one hundred Wan Guan, secondly, the Transshipment Department carried out reforms on the salt banknote system, which made the people of Hezhong Prefecture use salt banknotes in large quantities, resulting in a significant increase in fiscal revenue."

Lu Huiqing said: "It also promotes commercial development, because the use of salt money makes it very easy to pay taxes, buy and sell, and pay military salaries. I don't know if you agree with it?"

Lu Gong nodded.

Lu Huiqing said again: "However, the one who improves the salt banknote system is the one who promotes Changping. The one who uses work for relief and benefits the people also promotes Changping. Not only that, but the promotion of Changping will also leave the rest Part of the money for young crops is lent to merchants for business, which is also very profitable and meets part of the local financial expenditure.

Not to mention the exemption tax. Without the exemption tax, the tax department would never have succeeded so easily. The tax law reform of the tax department is based on the exemption tax. Jixiang, is what I said right? "

Lu Gong nodded and said: "Yes."

After this questioning, the conservative officials suddenly became confused, muttering in low voices, or making eye contact, secretly scolding the other party for being shameless.

It was agreed to fight against Bianliang in Tokyo, but in the end, you guys played dirty tricks.

The reformists swept away their decline and their morale was boosted.

After working for a long time, it turns out that it is our credit, and you still want to use our credit to attack us, you are simply dreaming.

Being silent all the time, Wang Anshi secretly glanced at Sima Guang, seeing Sima Guang's face bluish and red, muttering in his mouth, his heart was already full of joy.

Demo!

See if I'm not mad at you.

The two of them have been silent all this time, the reason is very simple, shame.

Whether the new law came from Wang Anshi and the judicial reform came from Sima Guang, you can't boast about it, that's for others to say.

Suddenly, Wang Anshi glanced at Fu Bi again from the corner of his eye, and saw that Fu Bi, who was the only one sitting in the hall, seemed to have fallen asleep.

Wen Yanbo stood up again and said: "You are putting the cart before the horse. It is true that those policies came from the Transshipment Department and the Changping Department, but don't forget that many of these policies were forced to be perfected, and it is precisely The judgment of the royal court prompted the Transshipment Department to make changes, and it is precisely because the public security law enforces the law impartially and lays a solid foundation that these policies can be implemented.

For example, the salt bills you keep saying, as far as I know, before the public security law was released, salt bills were issued indiscriminately, leading to depreciation. If you change to another person, you will do the same, and you will be successful. "

Lu Huiqing said with a smile: "Why didn't Duke Wen say that before the new transfer envoy left, the local salt banknotes were distributed indiscriminately, resulting in depreciation. As for the public security law, hehe, given so much money, I believe others can do better. Moreover, the fact is that the financial growth of Hezhong Prefecture is due to the proper adjustment of the policy of the Transshipment Department. The policy of the Transshipment Department is completely based on the new law formulated by the Department of Establishment and Regulations.

As you may not know, we set up the Division of Regulations of the Second Government, and we will make appropriate adjustments according to different places. For example, the Southeast Sixth Road is related to the grain supply of the capital, so it is the first to implement the equalization method on the Southeast Sixth Road, and it is carried out around the grain of the Southeast Sixth Road. It also makes many adjustments according to the local conditions, and the Hezhong Prefecture is in charge of Yanchi, so the new method is carried out around Yanchi. , rather than being forced to.

This is enough to show that the financial growth of Hezhong Prefecture is all due to Wang Xueshi's new law, and the success of the public security law in Hezhong Prefecture is also due to the financial support given to the public security law by the new law. Tens of thousands of guan, how can this Hezhong Mansion afford it? "

Reformists stood up one after another, supporting Lu Huiqing's views, and even said that the Public Prosecution Law should be abolished to save expenses, so that the finances will be better.

Conservatives also stood up one after another, accusing the other side of lying. Dare to cooperate with you? Who dares to use your salt money?

The point is, didn't you say before that the finances of Hezhong Prefecture are counted as public security, so let's compare them?

Now that the results have come out, you have given the credit for the Hezhong Mansion to yourselves.

How shameless!

The two sides immediately quarreled.

Arguing and arguing is really like a chicken laying an egg or an egg laying a chicken, because they went at the same time, and they all made dazzling achievements. Who fulfills who.

"Don't argue anymore, gentlemen."

In the end, Zhao Xu still spoke out to stop them from arguing, dignifiedly bowing down to the palace, just quarreling in the vegetable market, what a shame.

After they were all quiet, Zhao Xu asked Wang Anshi and Sima Guang directly: "Scholar Wang, Bachelor Sima, what do you think?"

Sima Guang took the lead in saying: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the achievements made by the Public Prosecution Law in Hezhong Mansion are obvious to all, and the local people praise it. On the other hand, Qingmiao Law in Jingdong East Road has been questioned by many officials. This is evident!"

Wang Anshi said indifferently: "The memorials for the impeachment of the Public Prosecution Law on Shaanxi Road are more than ten times more than the impeachment of the Qingmiao Law on Jingdong East Road."

Sima Guang looked at Wang Anshi angrily, "That's not what you said before. At that time, you said that the new law can be successful without the public prosecution law."

Wang Anshi asked rhetorically: "Didn't the finances of Jingdong East Road increase? Didn't the local people get help? Is this a failure?"

"But it is far inferior to Hezhong Mansion, and there are many hidden dangers." Sima Guang said.

Wang Anshi said: "The new law has been going to Hezhong Mansion for more than two years, but it has only been more than half a year to go to Jingdong East Road. If it takes another two years, Jingdong East Road's finances can also get more growth."

"You!" Sima Guang glared at Wang Anshi angrily, and said again: "Okay, okay, then wait and see if the finances of Jingdong East Road will be as you said."

A strange wink flashed in Wang Anshi's eyes, and he said again: "But such a comparison is not fair! Because such a comparison can only prove that without the public prosecution law, the new law can still be successful, but it cannot prove that the public security law is completely successful. It is dependent on the new law."

Lu Huiqing and others stood up and supported Wang Anshi one after another.

In the past, it was a debate that the public security law would not be possible without the new law, but no one has ever raised the question of whether the public security law can be achieved without the new law. From the current point of view, this also needs to be proved, because the public security law needs more financial support.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but nodded slightly, thinking that what Wang Anshi said made sense.

Sima Guang hesitated for a moment and said, "How do you prove it?"

Wang Anshi said: "The prefect of Qingzhou has the same thinking as you, so he asked to try out the public prosecutor's law in Qingzhou first, and then try out the new law. Why don't you let the public prosecutor's law go to Qingzhou to try and see if it can succeed."

Sima Guang did not hesitate, and said confidently: "I have no objection."

"Then follow the words of the two great scholars."

Zhao Xu really didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and said: "It just so happens that Prefect Ouyang has been unwell recently, and it is already difficult to handle heavy official duties. If the public prosecutor goes away, maybe he can share some of the burden for Prefect Ouyang."

Wang Anshi said: "Officials, you can let the public prosecutor go to Qingzhou, but you can't let Zhang Fei go."

Before Zhao Xu opened his mouth, Sima Guang frowned and said, "Why?"

Wang Anshi said: "Zhang Fei's ability is obvious to all. He is the founder of the legal system. His ability can cover up the shortcomings of the public prosecutor's law. His success cannot explain the success of the public prosecutor's law."

Sima Guang hesitated for a while, and then said: "You don't need to say that, Zhang Fei is now in Hezhong Mansion, and he has no means to separate himself, so it is impossible to go to Qingzhou."

"Good!"

Zhao Xu made a decision and said, "That's it. As for the selection of candidates, you will give me a memorial at that time."

"The ministers and others obey orders."

Sima Guang hastily cupped his hands.

Zhao Xu said again: "For me, it is a great relief that the country's finances can grow, and it is enough to prove that reform is the only way for the country to become strong. Therefore, I have decided to strengthen the reform this year. , Jiangnan implemented the young crop method, the immunity method and the equalization method.”
