Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 404: Surging wind and clouds

Xu Zhiqian's confusion is completely understandable.誜

In court, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi fought fiercely, but when they left the imperial city, they all ran to find Zhang Fei.

This phenomenon is very strange.

But the answer is just as Zhang Fei said, who would refuse an excellent free labor.

Although he thinks that he has already sat at the poker table, he is the only one who thinks so. In the eyes of everyone, there are only two protagonists in the world today, namely Wang Anshi and Sima Guang.

He's just a great waiter.

And what he provided was only technical support. Since his status and his age were not enough for his political ideas to be exposed, this scene was not so weird.

If the method of equal defeat is just Wang Anshi's small test of the sword and the prelude to the reform, then the method of enlistment means that Wang Anshi will formally start the war.誜

When the law of equalization was promulgated, Sima Guang was still persuading everyone to take a look. Except for a few words with Wang Anshi in private, he did not publicly oppose Wang Anshi on formal occasions.

At that time, it was Fan Chunren and Su Shi who were mainly against it, and they were both demoted as a result.

This is because the equalization method only involves the tribute system and the crackdown on some profiteers. Wang Anshi is still able to stand on the technical and moral levels.

But as soon as the recruitment law came out, Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo expressed their views directly.

We disagree.

Because this law involves all people in the world.

But how to stop it? Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo came to Fu Bi at the same time.誜

Can it be stopped by legislation?

"Currently, this is not possible."

Fu Bi glanced at Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Although the "Song Xingtong" also includes some tax law regulations, it is impossible for the government to allow it. We amend the tax law because This will conflict with the imperial court's decree."

You guys really think too much about this, how could the emperor give up the tax power.

In terms of reason, the tax law should also belong to the third division and Zhongshu, and it definitely belongs to the imperial government.

This is not within the purview of the Legislative Council.

Sima Guangdao: "According to the concept of the legal system, the law is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the people. Can legislation provide protection for the people?" 誜

Fu Bi pondered a little, "We can only modify the penalties for tax evasion, but this cannot be easily modified. If the judiciary fails to deter the people, many people will evade taxes without fear, which will increase the burden on the government. .”

Wen Yanbo frowned and said: "So, neither the judiciary nor the legislation can stop Wang Jiefu from acting recklessly?"

Fu Bi stroked his beard, "What I can think of now is to pass legislation to classify tax-exempt households."

"Tax-exempt household?"

Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo said in unison.

Fu Bi nodded: "In the past, tax-exempt households were classified according to the level of households, but the concept of the legal system is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of individuals, and there is no hierarchy, so human life belongs to the legitimate rights and interests of individuals. .

If a person's income is only enough to live on, in this case, if they are still required to pay taxes, it will be a violation of their personal legitimate rights and interests.誜

Moreover, in history, most of the officials forced the people to rebel, that is, they exhausted their wealth and collected taxes forcibly, so that the people were driven to a dead end, which caused turmoil, which seriously harmed the interests of the country and the monarch.

Based on this, there are good reasons for us to legislate on this. "

Sima Guang nodded and said: "I still remember Zhang San's first class, he drew the line of legal system and Confucian law on the top, and the line of legal system is below it, As long as it does not touch the line of the law of the legal system, the law of the legal system will have no right to interfere with the laws of Confucianism and Legalism.”

Fu Bi laughed and said: "It seems that Zhang San's education method is even more impressive."

Wen Yanbo said: "But what Wang Jiefu mentioned in the article also has its reasons. The disadvantages of the labor law make the people prefer to self-mutilate, but also to obtain the status of the lower fifth-class households, avoiding the yamen, and thus make the people farm. The enthusiasm is not high, and the poor households are more than one year. If tax-exempt households are set up, I am afraid that this situation will become more severe."

Fu Bi said: "This can only set the tax-free households low enough. I don't even think Wang Jiefu will break through this bottom line. This can only prevent officials from exploiting the people."

Sima Guangdao: "However, the determination of tax-exempt households will also bring a lot of burden to the government."

Fu Bi said: "This can only be implemented in cooperation with the public security law. The law of the legal system only gives the people the power to protect their legitimate rights and interests, but this power must be better implemented under the public security law."

Sima Guang said in distress: "But this public security law must be implemented by people. I must let those officials with good morals and like-mindedness implement the legal system, such as Fan Chunren and Su Shi. I cannot directly order , change the local judiciary to public security law.

At present, most of the local governments are run by officials, and those officials do not receive salaries. If they continue to implement the public prosecutor's law, it will only ruin the public prosecutor's law. "

He is also really suffering. In fact, many officials in the court have questioned him. Your judicial reform has been changed for a long time, and there are only two pilot projects outside, one in Dengzhou and one in Yangzhou.

And you only sent two prosecutors there.

Can this oversee the New Deal?

In fact, the specific framework of the Public Prosecution Law has been formed, coupled with the law of the legal system, it will be even more powerful.誜

But Sima Guang is a very traditional Confucian school. He attaches great importance to the moral aspect of officials, and he is really cautious about employing people.

Fu Bi nodded and said: "Yes, one of the reasons why the police can succeed is that they can get a stable income and don't need to exploit the people to maintain their own livelihood."

Speaking of this, he comforted Sima Guang: "Take your time, lest the gain outweigh the loss."

......

Xiangguo Temple.

I saw a white-bearded old monk in a red cassock walking quickly towards a vegetable garden in the northwest corner.

When I came to the gate of the vegetable garden, the two young monks at the gate immediately performed the Buddhist ceremony, "Abbot." 誜

This white-bearded old monk is Huiming, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple,

Huiming said: "Is there a way to stop arguing?"

The two young novice monks looked at each other, and then at Huiming.

Hui Ming closed his eyes and sighed: "I will come back in a quarter of an hour."

"Yes."

As soon as Huiming left, a young novice turned back and entered the vegetable garden.

After a while, I saw a sedan chair hurrying out of the courtyard.誜

Not long after the sedan chair left, Huiming came to the vegetable garden again.

I saw a big monk with fat head, big ears, big arms, round waist, and a flushed face standing in the courtyard, clasped his hands together, "Zhi Zheng has seen the abbot."

This person is Master Lu Bin Lu.

Hui Ming looked at Lu Bin and asked, "Are you still awake?"

Lu Bin immediately said: "Sober up. Please host the room."

Standing in the courtyard, Huiming smelled a smell of wine, "Forget it, let's talk here. Do you know why this old man is so anxious to find you?"

Lu Bin hesitated for a while, "The recruitment method." 誜

Hui Ming asked again: "What do you think?"

Lu Bin wiped the sweat from his brow, "Abbot, I thought the money was not much, so why should we have a conflict with Wang Jiefu?"

Hui Ming lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.

Lu Bin scratched his bald head, and said: "The people will be short of food, and the price of food will rise at this time.

If we lower the grain price and sell the grain, we will harvest a lot of copper coins in a short period of time. If we can cooperate with other big landlords to lower the price, then the copper coins in the village will become scarce, and when the imperial court collects the exemption money , there will inevitably be problems. "

Hui Ming said: "I will leave this matter to you."

"Yes."

"I'm leaving first."

"Abbot, walk slowly."

Huiming walked to the door, and suddenly turned around, "You don't hang out in the courtyard in broad daylight, it's not good for people to see."

Lu Bin nodded, "Yes."

After Huiming left, Lu Bin scratched his bald head anxiously, "I've already hid in this temple, but I still can't do without these **** things. Sigh..."

As he spoke, he shouted outside again: "Yunyun! Yunyun!"

I saw a little novice come in, "What is the master's order?" 誜

Lu Bin said: "Go and call that woman back, I am very angry today."

"Yes."

......

The outer city, west of the city.

In a large courtyard, only crackling sounds could be heard from inside.

This house was the ominous place that Zhang Fei rented to live in, but was ambushed by Wang Wenshan.

Now it has become the accounting department of Bianjing Law Firm. After all, the inner city is very expensive, so the accounting department can only be moved to the outer city.誜

Although it is a law firm, the accounting department has become the core department of the firm, because the most profitable business of the firm is tax calculation.

Now there are more than a hundred people.

Eighty percent of them were scissors and pens dug from the government.

"Yu Jiang met Saburo, Fan Yuanwai."

But I saw a middle-aged man about forty years old come to the hall and saluted Zhang Fei and Fan Li who were sitting in the front seat.

"Mr. Yu, please sit down."

Zhang Fei stretched out his hand to guide the seat beside him.誜

"Thank you."

Yu Jiang sat upright, and his sitting posture was exactly the same as Sima Guang's.

Zhang Fei asked: "I heard that Mr. Yu served as a prison officer in Kaifeng County before?"

Yu Jiang nodded: "Exactly."

Zhang Fei asked again: "I wonder what business Mr. Yu is in charge of?"

Yu Jiangdao: "Before I stepped down, I was in charge of judging the rank of households in the Yali."

Zhang Fei asked curiously: "I heard that the escorts who do this job are all very rich. Why did Mr. Yu come to my place?" 誜

A level judgment may be directly related to the life and death of the people. This kind of thing is very profitable, especially in Kaifeng Mansion, drinking some soup can make you feel nourished.

Yu Jiangdao: "I just don't want to join forces with those people, so I was rejected by those people, so I chose to work here."

Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: "Mr. Yu, have you ever thought about revenge?"

Yu Jiang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it."

Zhang Fei said: "What if I give Mr. Yu a chance to take revenge?"

Yu Jiangdao: "I am just different from them, we don't conspire with each other, but we don't have any enmity, and they don't get salary, if they don't do that, how can we make a living, and I won't do anything illegal. "

Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: "If breaking the law becomes a habit, then being legal becomes breaking the law." 誜

Yu Jiang looked at Zhang Fei in confusion.

Zhang Fei said: "You should know that the imperial court will promulgate the recruitment law recently."

Yu Jiang nodded.

Nowadays, reading newspapers has become an indispensable entertainment in the lives of literati.

Zhang Fei added: "At that time, the imperial court will re-evaluate the household registration level of the people. Mr. Yu should know that there are many tricks in this rating, and our firm will also start this business to ensure that the people get a fair evaluation of .

At that time, I will set up a special team to handle this matter. I plan to let Mr. Yu be the leader of this team. I wonder if Mr. Yu is willing? "

Yu Jiang frowned and said, "I am willing, but if I do this, I will offend many people?" 誜

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I don't want to offend them, I want to eliminate them."
