Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 414: I want to let it perish

"Ouch! There are so many people. Look at these people, they are all so tall and mighty. Old Tao, this time recruiting so many people, do you think we will be kicked out?"

When a young royal policeman saw the crowded scene in front of the school grounds, he couldn't help but feel very worried, because he was just transferred from the Yaqian to the Royal Police, and he was inferior to the Imperial Guard in many aspects except for his family conditions. He anxiously asked Tao Yonghan beside him.

Tao Yonghan hehe said: "You silly boy, you just wait for the promotion."

The young royal policeman said in astonishment: "Promotion?"

Tao Yonghan said: "When you came in, did the brother who brought you get promoted?"

The young royal policeman immediately showed joy, and said in surprise: "I understand...!"

As soon as he spoke, Tao Yonghan suddenly grabbed him with one hand.

The young Royal was stunned for a moment, glanced at Tao Yonghan, and then followed his gaze, but saw the two old men who had just walked out of the school grounds, and they quickly stepped aside.

These two old men are Sima Guang and Wang Anshi.

Of course, they are not in the mood to pay attention to Tao Yonghan and the others.

"Jiefu, what do you think?"

Sima Guang asked solemnly.

Wang Anshi sighed: "Grievance."

Sima Guang was stunned for a moment, "Why are you wronged?"

Wang Anshi sighed: "I forgot to sleep and eat, and worked day and night to formulate this new law, hoping to improve people's livelihood and at the same time enrich the national treasury. For this, I have suffered so much infamy and turned against so many old friends. But I never thought that I would actually make a wedding dress for you, Sima Junshi, and you said I am wronged."

Sima Guang hurriedly said: "Don't insinuate, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I didn't order them to do this."

"Of course I know, you can't do this."

Wang Anshi nodded, then changed the subject, "But you can refuse!"

"I...."

Sima Guang struggled for a moment, heyed, and said with a serious expression: "Don't be weird here, I know what you want to say, let's see what Zhang San will do, if it adds to the burden of the people, no matter where the money is spent, I will oppose it."

This stubborn old man. Wang Anshi's smile faded away, and he said with interest: "You should arrange the people first."

Sima Guang snorted, but did not reply.

This incident really made Sima Guang a little embarrassed. He originally disapproved of this recruitment law, but in the end the money was spent on him.

Is there anything more outrageous than this?

Of course Wang Anshi was upset, and the reason why he didn't care about it any more was because Zhao Xu was also involved.

After he went back, he immediately went to Sinong Temple and explained everything to Han Jiang.

Han Jiang only agreed to preside over the recruitment law because she supported the new law. As a result, it turned out to be completely different from what she had imagined. Now Han Jiang doesn't know who is presiding over the reform.

Moreover, Wang Anshi's explanation did not satisfy him.

"Jiefu! They cut it first and then play it."

Han Jiang was very excited and said: "They have recruited all the people, so there is no way out for our Sinong Temple to set taxes. We can only set higher taxes to meet their requirements."

Theoretically speaking, it should be the Si Nong Temple who counts and dismisses the Yaqian, and then budgets and sets taxes according to the required manpower, and the various departments recruit people according to the order.

But the problem is that the police station is not under their control, and the expansion is also an order directly issued by the emperor.

Wang Anshi said: "You don't have to worry about this, you can just deal with it fairly."

Han Jiang said with a wry smile: "The budget is released first, and then taxes are set. How can this be fair? What can they do?"

After Wang Anshi hesitated again and again, he said: "They are the Royal Police, and the government will give them some subsidies."

Han Jiang frowned and said, "You mean..."

Wang Anshi nodded and said: "But you also have to give a reasonable tax item. In the future, many affairs will be under the control of the Royal Police, and the expenses they save must also be counted in it."

Han Jiang nodded and said: "Don't worry, as long as their number is reasonable, I will not make things difficult for them."

......

On the other hand, Zhang Fei stayed in the school grounds until the evening before leaving the school grounds. After all, it was the first day, so he had to take good care of it. The quality requirements of the police are relatively high.

And he has to constantly adjust some standards according to the actual situation, and tell Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi what they should pay attention to.

When he returned home, Zhang Fei was filled with happiness when he saw Xu Zhiqian and Gao Wenyin's wives. He also saw Xu Zun and Xu Lingxiao sitting in the hall.

Zhang Fei whispered to Xu Zhiqian: "No wonder you went out to meet me today, so it's my father-in-law and they are all here!"

Xu Zhiqian gave him a white look: "That's not it, isn't this waiting for you to go home for dinner? I've been chatting with Sister Gao at the door."

Zhang Fei hurriedly asked: "You haven't eaten yet!"

Gao Wenyin said: "You didn't say you wouldn't go home to eat, so Mr. Xu said to wait for you."

Because some furniture has not been finished, they have not moved to the big house yet, but the two families have already had dinner together, which is a blessing for Xu Lingxiao and his wife.

In the past two years since the two went out to be officials, the taste has become a bit salty. They are not used to Xu's rough tea and light food, and prefer Zhang's food. However, they will still pay Gao Wenyin for food every month. of.

Actually, Zhang Fei in his previous life was relatively independent and left home early, but now he yearns for a big family even more.

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Next time if I don't come back on time, you can just eat, don't wait for me."

Xu Zhiqian smiled slyly and said, "If we don't wait for you to come, we won't be able to enjoy this meal today."

Zhang Fei said, "So I want to gossip!"

Sure enough, before the food was served, Xu Zun asked, "Son-in-law! Your singing is really confusing."

Don't tell Zhang Fei, he usually doesn't take the initiative to ask, because he is afraid that he can't help interfering in Zhang Fei's decision, but now that the newspapers have been published, it is natural to ask.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Actually, I also know that no matter whether it is the father-in-law or Zhiqian, they all thought that I would recruit a few people and replace all the servants."

Xu Zun smiled and said nothing, it was a tacit agreement.

They were really looking forward to a surprise, but they didn't know that the surprise turned out to be ordinary.

Zhang Fei said: "If you talk about litigation and business, maybe you can expect to turn decay into magic, but in terms of the law, you can't play tricks. One more royal police will make the effect better. Kaifeng Mansion just needs it." So many Royal Police."

Xu Lingxiao said: "That's not necessarily true. Many magistrates have never had royal police, but the law and order are pretty good."

Zhang Fei said: "Brother talked about law and order, but now we are pursuing justice."

Xu Lingxiao was puzzled and said, "What's the difference?"

Zhang Fei thought for a while, and said: "The quality of law and order is not equal to the quality of the judiciary. Simply put, the magistrates mentioned by the eldest brother are telling the people what to do, while the judiciary is telling the people what not to do."

Xu Zun nodded thoughtfully.

Xu Zhiqian also frowned in thought.

Xu Lingxiao said with a puzzled look: "It sounds like the former is better."

"I usually ask you to learn more about the law. If you don't listen, you'll just ponder those useless articles and poems."

Xu Zunai looked at his son indisputably, and said: "Only what the people are allowed to do is because they are afraid that the people will wander around and the county government will not manage well, so they tell you what not to do, which means that even if you go around, you can't do anything." If you can manage it well, you can say which one is stronger and weaker."

Xu Lingxiao said: "But it is also possible to prevent the people from wandering around."

Xu Zun said in a bad mood: "Since the Qin Dynasty, how can there be such legislation. If the people have some urgent matter, they can't even leave the door? Can this be called the law?"

Seeing that his father looked upset, Xu Lingxiao dared not speak any more.

Xu Zun shook his head, and said to Zhang Fei: "Although that is the case, it will cost a lot of money!"

Xu Zhiqian nodded: "According to the new regulations, all the money will be charged to the common people in the future."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Under the law, even if more taxes are imposed, the people will not complain too much."

Xu Lingxiao opened his eyes wide and said, "Is it so amazing?"

Zhang Fei nodded.

Xu Zun suddenly said: "Xiao'er, don't tell outsiders these words, you know?"

Xu Lingxiao nodded: "My child understands."

Seeing Xu Zun's serious face, Zhang Fei couldn't help asking: "Father-in-law, what's the situation in court?"

Xu Zundao: "I'm scolding all over my mouth, but I'm laughing all over my heart!"

Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but asked curiously: "What does daddy say?"

Xu Zun sighed: "The royal police alone will recruit 10,000 more people, not counting other expenses. After this account is calculated, how much exemption tax the imperial court has to collect. Can the people not complain? As long as public resentment is aroused, Then they have enough reasons to ask the officials to stop the new law. In fact, they have already played today, and they have explained all possible future situations first, and then they can confidently say that their original suggestion is not wrong. "

Speaking, he looked at Zhang Fei again and said, "My son-in-law, even if you are sure about this matter, you have to be extremely cautious. After all, you only have one pair of eyes, so you can't see through it."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "My son-in-law will remember what my father-in-law said."

......

Xu Zun read it very thoroughly. This issue of the newspaper gave great encouragement to those conservatives. Although they were very angry, they were ecstatic in their hearts.

There is a saying that goes well, if you want to make it perish, you must first make it crazy.

The expansion of the police station, in their view, is an act of madness.

Even Han Jiang thinks so.

According to the specific process, it should first count the situation of ordinary households, etc., count the labor required to be recruited, and then set the employment standards.

Sinong Temple is still counting, and the police station will directly expand by 10,000 people, and it is only limited to the judiciary.

What's funny is that this recruitment law has nothing to do with the judiciary, because the recruitment law is aimed at the problem of the front office, and the front office in the judiciary actually only accounts for a very small part. Replaced country service.

When the Department of Regulations and Regulations of the Second Government formulated the regulations, the main expenditure was on replacing the Yaqian servants, not the rural servants. Although there were a large number of rural servants, Wang Anshi and the others thought that a monthly payment of two to three hundred renminbi would be enough. And we give tax-exempt treatment in tax-exemption.

This is a kind of half-employment nature. In the past, you were completely paid by yourself, but now you are given a little money and a little bit of privilege.

If you do this now, the cost will increase by more than a little bit.

It seems that as soon as this new law came out, it deviated from the course.

It's such a big step, and it's still going astray, can you stop talking about it?

Meng Mansion.

"Mengzhiyuan seems to have made a mistake in its prediction."

Duzhi doctor Liu Shi said to Meng Gansheng worriedly.

Meng Gansheng of the Zhijuan Court asked with a smile: "How do you say that?"

Liu Shidao: "Previously Mengzhiyuan thought that the tax department was only two or three kittens, which was not a good thing, but now the police station has expanded to 10,000 people, including this tax policeman. This number is too many, but it's not worth it. It cannot be underestimated."

Meng Gansheng sighed: "I overestimated Wang Jiefu and the others, but I can't blame me. Who would have thought that they would do such a stupid thing."

Speaking of this, he chuckled: "Yes, the more royal police there are, the more things we can manage, but the mismanagement of my government is related to finances, not public security issues. They recruit people at any cost. Aggravate the disaster of redundant officials and make the finances worse, who do you think will fill this hole?"

Liu Shidao: "Naturally it is the common people."

Meng Gansheng hehe said: "If there is public grievance in this capital city, the officials have to ignore it. Let's just wait and see the good show."
