Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 216: Moral Kidnapping

What a panic!

The two people who conspired were in a panic at this moment.

Nima played a bit too big.

If something goes wrong, no one can bear the responsibility.

But it seems quite exciting.

Young people just love thrills.

Zhang Fei said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, if you are caught, Xiaomin will be finished!"

The implication is that you are the emperor, even if you are arrested, they can't do anything to you.

But Zhao Xu thought that I am the emperor, so I must not be the one to take the blame. This would be a bad thing, so he retorted solemnly: "I can protect you, can you protect me?"

"?"

Zhang Fei turned his eyes, "Your Majesty misunderstood, I mean, if it is printed and distributed in the palace, it can be foolproof."

No one dares to check into the palace!

Zhao Xu gave him a hard look, "You"

As soon as the words came out, he seemed to realize that his voice was a bit high, he glanced around guiltily, and said in a low voice: "You are crazy. I want to get rid of coughs and coughs when I publish tabloids in the palace. You came up with the idea, of course you have to do it, and that's it."

Please! I have a legitimate job, and I planned to be a serious media tycoon, and this tabloid is just giving you ideas and doing my shit. Zhang Fei suddenly thought of retreating, and said: "Your Majesty, why don't we think about it again."

Zhao Xu hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Don't think about it, just do it."

In fact, he has a lot of opinions on scholar-bureaucrats in his heart, and he wanted to scold them for a long time, but he didn't have the guts. , It's good to let out the bad breath in your heart!

Before Zhang Fei refused, Zhao Xu asked again: "What can be done to solve long-term concerns?"

Zhang Fei glanced at Zhao Xu depressedly, knowing that he must have carried the blame, he couldn't help sighing secretly, I really did it myself! He replied: "If those tenant farmers really want to appeal, the small people can also fight, but the key point is that the tenant farmers dare not file a lawsuit. The reason is that if the tenant farmers file a lawsuit, they may even lose their livelihood."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly.

Zhang Fei said: "According to the laws and regulations of our dynasty, cultivating land is permanent employment, and the land belongs to the landlord. This cannot be changed. If the livelihood of the tenant farmers cannot be guaranteed, they will always be restricted by them."

Zhao Xu asked: "How can we ensure the livelihood of tenant farmers?"

Zhang Fei said: "We can only rely on business, encourage business development, and create more livelihoods. Only in this way can we weaken the landlord's restriction on the court."

The question of the means of production has to rely on economic principles, and the law cannot solve this problem.

In terms of facts, landlords are also human, and human nature is selfish. If you can earn more, why not earn more, and take less risk, why not take less risk.

If everyone was like Xu Zhiqian, there would be no landlords.

Zhao Xu shook his head when he heard it, and hummed: "Compared with landlords, those big rich merchants are much more generous, and they are not credible."

The landlord is already a headache, and the whole rich businessman comes out. Isn't this asking for trouble?

Zhang Fei said: "Having said that, my dynasty's control over commerce is far better than that over agriculture. At the same time, commerce brings far less risk to the country than agriculture. It is much simpler to start with commerce. .”

Due to the private ownership of land, the land controlled by the state in the Song Dynasty was only one-tenth of the country, and the rest was controlled by the ruling class such as landlords, powerful, and military officers.

Everyone is not easy to mess with.

Land reform is really harder than reaching the sky.

On the contrary, the control over commerce is extremely strict, because the Song Dynasty had a strong anti-discussion system, and basically all bulk commodities were state-owned.

This led to the tax revenue ratio of the Song Dynasty in the future. Commercial tax accounted for 70%, while agricultural tax accounted for only 30%. This was the only case in the entire feudal society.

Zhao Xu felt that there was some truth, and asked: "In your opinion, how should we start from the business side?"

"Legislation!"

Zhang Fei immediately replied: "Only by passing the law can we ensure that business development is encouraged and those businessmen are firmly controlled at the same time."

He must still take the legal route, but the reform of agriculture is too much resistance, there are too many privileged classes, and the court lacks control in this regard. In Zhang Fei's view, it is difficult to move forward.

Business is different.

Salt, iron, wine, etc. are all in the hands of the imperial court, and the imperial court is the boss. There is a lot of room for legislation, and there is also a lot of room for improvement.

If the imperial court passed legislation to improve commerce and adjust agriculture at that time, it would be difficult for everyone to say anything.

This is also a question that Zhang Fei has been thinking about recently. Where should the legal system go first?

Zhao Xu nodded thoughtfully.

Zhang Fei said again: "This time, Your Majesty wants to learn from the wrong decision of the imperial court on agriculture. You can't give too many privileges. It's best not to give any privileges. Everything should be done according to the law.

At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid the phenomenon of tenant farmers in business. In terms of labor employment, the imperial court should legislate to properly protect the interests of laborers, instead of only considering the interests of landlords like tenant farmers. This can also limit the power of merchants grow.

When the business expanded and manpower was urgently needed, the imperial court turned around to rectify agriculture. In this way, if this happened again, the tenant farmers dared to sue the landlord, and they could find a livelihood even if they did not farm the land. "

Hearing this, Zhao Xu said suspiciously: "But agriculture is the foundation of the country. If everyone does not grow food, it may cause a crisis."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry about this. The landlord is also asking for money. Everyone doesn't want to make a deal. This is the condition for negotiation. It won't be like today, where the landlord is rampant and the court But helpless."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "That is to say, don't rectify agriculture for the time being?"

Zhang Fei said: "In my opinion, there is no way to rectify it for the time being."

Zhao Xu frowned and said: "But now on the issue of tenant farmers, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be done."

Zhang Fei said: "Didn't I say before that you can use the method of publishing tabloids to morally kidnap those scholar-bureaucrats, and let them take the initiative to quell this incident. Let's just let it go and deal with it when the time is right."

"Moral kidnapping?"

Zhao Xu laughed and said: "Your statement is quite interesting."

Zhang Fei hehe said: "I also learned from them, don't they always treat His Majesty like this."

Zhao Xu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized that I was the victim. Nodding straightly, he said, "Just use this trick, and let's kidnap them morally."

He showed immediate interest in the tabloid.

Putting Zhang Fei together, they began to plot how to operate this matter.

This matter has a strong sense of revenge, but the risk factor is also extremely high. Once discovered, Zhao Xu will definitely abandon the car to protect the commander. He cannot admit that he did it by himself. This will really affect his dominance.

In the process of plotting, he tried his best to ensure that this matter would not be found out on his head, and he would leave it clean.

Zhang Fei's heart is like a mirror, and this matter must be handled well, otherwise, he is not sure whether Zhao Xu can keep him from dying, and he has repeatedly emphasized this safety factor.

People must be reliable, and places must be hidden.

And it can't just be in one place, you have to shoot a shot to change the place.

The land of Gyeonggi is the power center of the scholar-officials, and it is difficult to hide.

The next morning.

Bianjing Law Firm.

"Ah!"

"Did you become a thief last night?"

Sima Guang looked at Zhang Fei who was yawning profusely, and couldn't help asking.

"No!"

Zhang Fei blinked vigorously ~IndoMTL.com~ so much that he forgot to rest. "

He didn't rest at all, and talked to Zhao Xu about Tianming last night.

Of course Sima Guang did not expect that Zhang Fei had already colluded with the emperor, he stroked his beard and said, "Is it Song Xingtong?"

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment: "Why did Grand Master Sima say that?"

Sima Guang hehe said: "Wang Jiefu must have asked for your help to see if he can sue those landlords."

Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly, without denying it.

In this matter, he and Wang Anshi are united front.

Sima Guang asked: "Then have you thought of a way?"

Zhang Fei shook his head and sighed: "It's not impossible to sue, I have read some contracts, and there are serious problems, but after suing, where should those tenant farmers go to make a living."

"Look! Look!"

Sima Guang waggled his fingers, "You can even figure out this problem, but Wang Jiefu is a stickler, he doesn't care about the consequences, he is not as good as you."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "I don't dare to take it seriously, besides, this matter was not provoked by Master Wang."

Sima Guang glanced at him, "Yes! I almost forgot that you have a part too."

Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly and didn't answer this question.

Sima Guang said again: "Since you can't help with this matter, then do a good job with this legal aid matter, manage your people well, and don't make people feel bad, otherwise, I can't spare you .”

He came today just for this matter. They have already made arrangements for the government, and they are waiting for the office to send someone over. Moreover, he is more cautious and only provides legal aid in the Department of Records for the time being.

The lowest courts, left and right, deal with small disputes, and legal aid is of little significance.

As for criminal cases, he believes that evidence should be the first priority. If there is any dissatisfaction, continue to appeal, and then rely on Erbi to fight the lawsuit. After much deliberation, it is most appropriate to try in the Department of Records.

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Scholar Sima, please rest assured, I have been preparing for this matter, and there will be no mistakes or omissions."

Sima Guang nodded slightly, and suddenly asked: "Can't the tenant farmer's case be brought to court if it is serious?"

Zhang Fei was stunned, and looked at Sima Guang in surprise.

Sima Guang whispered: "Can you help those tenant farmers and sue the court."

Zhang Fei looked at Sima Guang in shock.

Let me sue the imperial court?

Sima Guang looked contemptuously, "What expression do you have? It's not like you haven't done it before. Didn't you help historians sue the court?"

Conversely, to sue the imperial court, Zhang Fei really didn't think about it. He thought about it for a while, and said: "The meaning of the Sima University is that you let me help those tenant farmers exempt from taxes through an appeal?"

Sima Guang nodded and said: "In this way, we can ensure that the court will exempt those tenant farmers from taxes under the premise of collecting taxes according to law."

Zhang Fei pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "No."

Sima Guang asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Fei said: "Scholar Sima, this land does not belong to those tenant farmers, but to the landlord. The imperial court does not collect taxes according to this person, but according to the land. The reason is that the land tax is exempted, unless I represent the landlord, but this tax collection is based on their tax evasion. If I want to win this lawsuit, I must first deny that this is tax evasion, but this is what I have given of."

"That's true, this matter was caused by you." Sima Guang nodded slightly.

Zhang Fei smiled wryly and said: "Actually, the imperial court does not blame the past, and it is very reasonable to only let them pay this year's tax."

Sima Guang sighed: "So if you want the country to be stable, you still have to pay lightly and pay lightly!"

Zhang Fei said: "The imperial court can't solve the problem of tenant farmers by lightly paying taxes and paying light rents."

Sima Guang said: "If the imperial court does not lead by example, how can it ask others."

Zhang Fei pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

Sima Guang glanced at him: "Speak up if you have something to say, there's no need to put on a show here."

Zhang Fei said with a sneer: "I just think that in this matter of renting, the imperial court may set an example, which may not be of much use. After all, not every minister is as clean and simple as the Sima University scholar, and does not own land at home."

Sima Guang was speechless immediately.

Who has the most tenant farmers, isn't it the royal relatives and court officials?

Such as Shi Tingjun and Geng Ming are struggling to buy real estate, how many tenant farmers can they support.

If you want to lead by example, you still have to lead by example first.

This can only rely on moral kidnapping.

Because the law is completely biased towards them, and at the same time the legislative power is controlled by them, you must know that Wang Anshi also belongs to the scholar-bureaucrat class.

They hold Wang Bo and four 2s in their hands, and there is only one chance to win, and that is to grab the first hand, and then make four flying, and they are all out, and they are not given a chance.
