Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 400: Recruitment law

Inside the carriage.

The two women looked at Zhang Fei resentfully.

At first, they thought that there would be a maximum of 20,000 hits, but they didn't know that it was quadrupled.

This is hard for them to accept.

Zhang Fei was uncomfortable seeing them, so he stretched out both hands, holding their catkins at the same time, and said with a smile, "Just listen to me this time."

Xu Zhiqian said curiously: "But I want to know why, you...you are not the kind of person who just wants to have fun!"

Gao Wenyin nodded slightly.

Zhang Fei thought about it seriously, and said: "Because home is very important to me. It not only protects me from wind and rain, but also represents rooting."

Take root?

The second daughter looked at him curiously.

How could they realize how important home is to Zhang Fei, an outsider, and money cannot be stingy.

Zhang Fei didn't know how to explain it, so he just smiled and said, "It's better to be older, after all, we will have more branches and leaves in the future. Are we prepared for any danger? Hehe."

Gao Wenyin blushed, and said softly, "That doesn't need to be so big."

Xu Zhiqian snorted softly: "Why can't it be used, he will find a few more women then, then it will be almost the same."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, I don't have such an idea. You know that I bought such a big one for the benefit of my father-in-law, elder brother, and sister-in-law, so that they can live more comfortably."

"Of course I know."

Xu Zhiqian glanced at Zhang Fei gratefully, and said again: "I am..."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I can't bear it."

Xu Zhiqian nodded.

She has never spent so much money in her life, and she feels guilty in her heart.

Zhang Fei actually understands their mentality very well. His parents are also like this. They forcefully buy a new electrical appliance for them, and they can put it away for several years before using it. He just said: "Just this time."

Seeing that Zhang Fei really valued it, Xu Zhiqian nodded slightly.

Back home, it was still impossible to escape Xu Zun's nagging. In fact, Xu Zun was also very grateful in his heart, but he also felt that it would add a burden to Zhang Fei. As for Xu Lingxiao and Mu Zhen, their jaws almost dropped.

I think Zhang Fei is exaggerating a bit.

It's all right to buy a house, but also buy such a big one.

Of course, in the end it is Zhang Fei's own decision.

However, the cycle of buying a house here is very long, because according to the law of relatives and neighbors, you have to ask the neighbors and relatives, and the house can only be sold after they all agree.

But when the neighbors heard that Zhang Fei wanted to buy it, they quickly agreed, and none of them hesitated.

Zhang Fei rents a house to live in, and the rent will be doubled or tripled directly. Anyone who is not jealous, come quickly.

However, Zhang Fei did not spend a lot of money, but chose to go to the Ma's family for a loan. In fact, he could do it by hard work, but the house is big, and the monthly expenses are also much higher.

He still needs to set aside some money, buy furniture, and then hire some cleaning servants.

Given his current income, this interest is nothing.

However, moving is not a trivial matter, and the lease term is coming soon. The end of this year must be very busy for the two families.

Except for Xu Zun, the rest of the people were all mobilized. Although it was hard work, Zhang Fei enjoyed it. In this snowy day, he also got up early every day with Gao Wenyin, Xu Zhiqian, Li Si, Xiaotao, and followed Xu Lingxiao, Mu Zhen and the others looked around and went shopping.

Xu Lingxiao felt impatient, but Zhang Fei enjoyed it very much.

This is like a family, and the feeling of family is always too precious for Zhang Fei.

As for the cultivation method, he really didn't even think about it.

A few times even Xu Zun reminded Zhang Fei whether he should go and have a look, but Zhang Fei expressed no interest at all.

However, Fu Bi did not come to bother Zhang Fei, and he also enjoyed it. The law of the rule of law really opened a door for them, as if they could see farther, especially when studying the laws and regulations, they could find Many things were not considered so thoroughly before.

Moreover, Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu, Zhao Yan, Zeng and other prime ministers also offered to help, and they were all obsessed with it, leading a group of students all day long to practice the Dharma there day and night.

Wang Anshi often goes to see it, but his focus is always on his new policies.

Actually, Zhao Xu also wanted to go and see it, and he was very concerned about it. For the emperor, the revision of the law can add points to the history books, but he had to show that he didn't care that much, so he never went there once.

In the busy process, the ice and snow have melted, and the grass has also sneaked out of the ground.

It's the beginning of a new year.

And this year is a crucial year for many people.

Last year was mostly a theoretical dispute, but this year is to turn many of last year's theories into laws and then implement them nationwide.

In history, only Wang Anshi reformed the law. With the arrival of Zhang Fei, there were more judicial reforms and amendments.

It is both exciting and scary.

Authentic bookstore.

"This... is this a book?"

Yan Jidao was holding a big, thick, hard, and beautifully written book, he couldn't help being dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

Hou Donglai immediately said: "Mr. Yan, this is the hardcover edition we made according to Saburo's request. The writing is all made of wooden boards. Although it is inconvenient to carry, it is easy to store."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "What do you think, Mr. Yan?"

Yan Jidao touched the engraved title of the book, nodded and said: "Okay! This... this is really beautiful, in fact... there is no need to do it so well."

Zhang Fei said: "This is a collection of genuine poems sold in our genuine bookstore. I have to tell others the difference between genuine and pirated editions, and I believe that this book will change everyone's understanding of books, otherwise , I will not delay for so long."

In fact, genuine bookstores have enough ability to print out books quickly, but this collection of poems has been delayed for a whole year.

Yan Jidao cupped his hands and said, "Anyway, thank you Sanlang."

"I should thank Mr. Yan for trusting me and selling me the copyright of Yan Gong's poetry collection."

As Zhang Fei said, he said again: "I absolutely believe that this collection of poems will be a hit. Everyone is definitely looking forward to the follow-up content. Mr. Yan has to work harder to write the follow-up content."

The collection of poems about Yan Shu is divided into three editions. Due to the background of the poems, this collection of poems will also become a long work, which can be said to be Yan Shu's personal memoirs.

Yan Jidao hurriedly said: "The revision is almost complete."

Zhang Fei asked again: "I wonder if Mr. Yan is interested in this matter?"

Yan Jidao looked at Zhang Fei in confusion.

Zhang Fei said: "My genuine bookstore still lacks an editor-in-chief. Moreover, this collection of poetry is very popular, and there will definitely be many people coming to cooperate with me. I would like to ask Mr. Yan to be the editor-in-chief here, and he will be responsible for the books. revision."

Yan Jidao was stunned, this collection of poems belonged to his father, of course he was obliged to revise, but he never thought of treating this as a job. In addition, he is also an official now.

Zhang Fei said again: "Mr. Yan, don't misunderstand me. I don't want Mr. Yan to resign and come here to work. I just let Mr. Yan come here to work part-time. As for the remuneration, I will get the commission directly. If there is no accident, it should be better than that." Mr. Yan's salary is even more."

Yan Jidao was very moved. His family is really short of money now. The key point is that he is really good at this job. It doesn't take much energy at all, so he said: "I'll try it first."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Okay!"

Nowadays, genuine bookstores are already established, but there is a shortage of talents.

Yan Jidao is a candidate he likes very much.

His writing style is too delicate, and his emotional expression is almost perfect, and this kind of brand-new book needs to be mixed with a lot of the author's mental journey. Yan Jidao is a very perfect candidate.

As soon as Yan Jidao was sent away, Wang Anshi rushed over immediately.

"Your boy is really hard to find! I almost circled the city."

Seeing Zhang Fei, Wang Anshi complained.

"Don't blame Xueshi Wang, there are many things in various stores this year, and I can only run around." After a brief explanation, Zhang Fei asked again: "I don't know what orders Wang Xueshi has?"

Wang Anshi directly gave Zhang Fei a document.

Zhang Fei took a look, and exclaimed: "The recruitment law?"

Wang Anshi smiled and said, "I never thought you would be so surprised."

Actually, he didn't want to introduce the recruitment law so early, because the recruitment law would directly hurt the interests of the powerful, but since the few lawsuits last year were all against the recruitment law, this has been hooked. In response to the expectations of the common people, Wang Anshi decided to go along with the flow and introduce the drafting law first.

The emperor has long agreed, waiting for the regulations to be promulgated.

Zhang Fei was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "I just... just didn't expect it to be so soon."

Wang Anshi snorted and said, "If you hadn't come up with a legal system last year, I would have promulgated this recruitment law last year. You can see if it can be done?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Fei looked up immediately.

Wang Anshi also glanced at him secretly, with a look of anticipation and nervousness.

After reading it, Zhang Fei looked up at Wang Anshi in surprise, "Scholar Wang, this...is this what you wrote?"

Wang Anshi nodded, "What do you think?"

Zhang Fei said in disbelief: "It seems that Xueshi Wang has already grasped the essence of the propaganda article. This article is really well written, and it is enough to impress those high-class households to support the labor recruitment law."

Wang Anshi smiled triumphantly: "You have already taught me several times, so I must regress!"

Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly.

It turns out that Wang Anshi did not write this article with his very good writing style, but according to Zhang Fei's routine, which is aimed at the people of the world.

If you change the handwriting, no one will recognize that it is written by Wang Anshi.

It's really watery and rough.

But I have to admit that Wang Anshi has to think carefully about this kind of routine. The writing is much better than Zhang Fei, and Sima Guang can't match it. It is easy to understand, full of street style, but at the same time smooth , making people look tired.

This is also why Zhang Fei has no intention of working hard to write articles at all.

Wang Anshi was defeated by Zhang Fei several times. He also proved that if I wanted to write like this, you couldn’t write me. He asked seriously: "What do you think about the recruitment law?"

Zhang Fei was taken aback, "I'm not good at this."

Wang Anshi hehe said: "Now you are a master of a generation, and you are also a doctor of the Imperial College, why are you being modest. Tell me your opinion?"

Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly, read it again seriously, and said, "If I tell you, everyone will be offended, and only those in the middle will benefit."

The content of this recruitment law is actually very simple. It is to reduce the corvee on a large scale first, and then change it to government employment. Use this money to hire another.

Wang Anshi's recruitment law is open to everyone.

That is to say, the former exempted households also had to pay money. There were high-ranking officials and dignitaries, Taoist monks and female households, and there were fifth-class civilians below.

In the old labor law, the most difficult thing was the yaqian service. If you were not careful, the whole family would be finished. And the yaqian service was the middle class in the Northern Song Dynasty. They were very willing to spend money to be exempted from service.

Furthermore, Wang Anshi first estimated the cost of corvée for one year from the government, and then let everyone share it equally, so the middle class paid very little money.

Wang Anshi asked: "Then do you have a better way?"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "No. If there is a privilege, then everyone will find a way to use this to evade taxes."

"Exactly."

Wang Anshi said: "Such as Sima Junshi and others, they will definitely use this matter of increasing the exemption tax for the fifth-class households to attack me for making money for the country, but how do they know how many rich households have transferred their own households to the country? Divide up the fields and find ways to classify yourself as the fifth-class households to avoid taxation, so I can no longer give them this opportunity. However, I only charge them half of the exemption tax.”

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "If those wealthy households want to split their fields and classify themselves as the lower fifth-class households, the money spent and the possible troubles they may cause may be more than half of the tax exemption."

"Smart."

Wang Anshi gave Zhang Fei a look of approval.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "But it must be a tough battle."

"It's all tough battles."

Wang Anshi chuckled, and said again: "But I've been thinking recently, why did you charge the license plate fee back then?"

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "It was not going well at that time."

Wang Anshi said: "It's better than I imagined, and everyone has changed from criticism to praise."

He is very envious of the police station. He always asks the rich for money. As a result, everyone gets used to the license plate fee very quickly, but he is scolded every day for what he wants to do.

It's really different.

Zhang Fei thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's limited to the capital city. If it spreads across the country, it may be another result."

Wang Anshi nodded, and asked again: "Don't you have a better opinion?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I can only give Wang Xueshi some advice in terms of publicity, but in terms of content, I can't give it. This is not what I am good at."

This is actually a big truth.

He knew that Wang Anshi's reform would fail, so why didn't he offer advice to help Wang Anshi?

It is impossible for Wang Anshi to agree.

If you want to change, he really can't give better advice.

As far as this labor law is concerned, the most criticized thing is that Wang Anshi also collects this exemption tax from the poor. Of course, Wang Anshi’s purpose is to enrich the national treasury and tax the poor, which will definitely increase a lot of income. The largest class.

But if he doesn't do this, many people will find a way to become this fifth-class household, which will be a huge loophole.

At present, there is no way to completely separate the classes in terms of executive power.

The spirit of Legalism is to treat people equally, which is the most worry-free.

Wang Anshi asked again: "What about the propaganda?"

Zhang Fei said: "About this point, I talked with Lu Xiaokan. I first published an article here, and then secretly published an article in the newspapers and periodicals to give support. Wait until the tax is collected, this way, it will be more convincing.”
