Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 557: The first battle of the three redundancies (10)

"What is Mr. Su Xiao thinking about?"

Out of the transportation department, Zhang Fei couldn't help asking when he saw that Su Zhe was silent.

Su Zhe was slightly taken aback, turned his head to look at him, and said, "I was thinking, what you said just now was really harsh at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense." /

As he spoke, he was thoughtful, "Actually, what we did was not too much, we just corrected their mistakes, but why is it so difficult."

Zhang Fei asked back: "What does Mr. Su Xiao think?"

Su Zhe pondered for a while, and said, "I think it's a responsibility. Everyone knows the problem, but everyone knows the stakes, so no one dares to take on this responsibility. It can only be muddled, minor repairs, minor repairs, Put your own career first."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Before Wang Xueshi, you can say that."

Su Zhe laughed and said: "Scholar Wang did not face the problem directly, but found another way."

Wang Anshi really played a roundabout way. To be honest, Sima Guang's policy of throttling expenditure is indeed a solution to the root cause. He thinks that this is not a matter of day and night, so can Zhao Xu talk to him?

Zhang Fei said: "Finding another way is only a means to solve the problem."

Su Zhe said with a smile: "However, Xueshi Wang's methods are only beautiful in appearance. Let's talk about the young crop law, the government pays and lends money to the people, but even good people will inevitably use it indiscriminately, and it will be overdue There must be many repayers. State and county yamen have to spend manpower and material resources to press for rent and debt. If they all act according to the law, the gain will not be worth the loss."

The reason why he left the Regulations Department of the Second Mansion was because he insisted on the Youth Law and quarreled with Lu Huiqing every day. Wang Anshi also felt unhappy with him, but he was arranged by the emperor, otherwise, he would have been kicked out long ago.

Zhang Fei said: "I think that the reason why these problems cannot be solved is because everyone is criticizing, but no one stands up and finds a way to solve these problems."

How could Su Zhe fail to hear his irony, and refused to accept: "The real solution is the constant level warehouse method. Sell when it is expensive, buy when it is cheap, and stabilize prices. The common people help, so that the common people can get stability and can effectively reduce the usury phenomenon.

I mentioned to Xueshi Wang a few times that we should pay more attention to the Cangping method instead of replacing it with the young crop method, but he ignored it because his purpose was to make money for the country, not to serve the people sincerely. "

Zhang Fei said: "What Wang Xueshi is asking for can kill two birds with one stone."

Su Zhe glanced at him and did not argue with him. Anyway, he would never support it. Instead, he said: "But now it seems that judicial reform can solve the problem better. From this point of view, our public security law is We can urge those officials to face up to the problem, and those officials can use our public prosecution law to let go of their hands and do it without fear of taking unnecessary responsibilities, after all, these responsibilities can be passed on to us at that time.”

In fact, at first he was transferred to the Procuratorate, but it was just helpless, because he and Wang Anshi couldn't work together, this is different, and they don't conspire with each other.

In his view, this is just a transition.

But after this incident, he found that judicial reform can solve Sima Guang's worries very well.

In fact, the imperial court does not lack capable officials, such as Fan Xiang and Xue Xiang, they are very capable, but the problem is that this affects the interests of too many people, they cannot bear this personnel responsibility, and are impeached every day, Who can bear this.

Now the Public Security Bureau can point out this problem and force the government to solve it. Competent officials don’t need to be afraid of being impeached. We are also forced.

Now he is more and more interested in this job.

Although politics and law are separated, they can influence each other.

.......

However, many officials have not yet grasped this level. In their opinion, this kind of behavior of the Public Security Bureau can only be described in one word.

Shameless!

It's true that standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, do you know how difficult it is?

Who doesn't know that arrears and deduction of military pay are not good, but if it is easy to solve, you will wait until you come to it, because it is not easy to solve!

You just point out the problem without offering a solution.

What is it if it is not shameless.

What's even more shameless is that Zhang Fei really meant that.

This is your responsibility, not mine. If you can't solve it, tell the court to find another person to solve it.

Speaking of which, Wang Shao and Guo Kui are definitely not willing.

I can't tell the emperor that I am incompetent, and I can't even meet the most basic requirements.

If you say that, your official career must come to an end here.

Then they have only one choice before them.

Go to solve the problem.

......

Wei Mansion.

"What?"

Liang Youyi opened his eyes angrily, "You put your hot face on someone's cold ass, and you are disgusted by others, so how can you bear it?"

He had already taken care of himself, but this time Zhang Fei was so angry that he couldn't sleep for several nights, which was regarded as a great shame and humiliation.

But he still didn't dare to run to fight Zhang Fei by himself, and he also wanted to fight behind his back.

But now that he heard that the government intends to cooperate with the imperial court, he was ridiculed by Zhang Fei again, and almost passed out.

Revenge is nowhere in sight!

He Chunlin said anxiously: "Even Wang Jinglue and the others have nothing to do with that kid?"

Wei Yingfang waved his hands and said, "Calm down, everyone. We had far underestimated the imperial court's support for the public prosecutor's law. The disarmament has been going on for more than ten years, but there has been no movement. Then the procuratorate submitted a memorial, and the imperial court immediately decided to disarm the army." .

If we continue to run amok like this, we may really be caught by the imperial court and put in jail. "

After Wang Shao's reprimand, they also realized the power of the public security law.

Liang Youyi's old face turned red, "Should we just let a yellow-mouthed kid bully us?"

Wei Yingfang said: "Let's take a look again, but we must not be rash about this matter. Now we have to get things done first, otherwise, the imperial court will only blame us for being incompetent, not Zhang. Three, Su Ziyou."

Speaking of this, he sighed, "We should never, never should have threatened the public security bureau with illegal things, this is their authority, alas... this is really sent to the door to be slaughtered! "

Cao Yi, who has always advocated confrontation with the imperial court, felt a little scared at this time, "I am more angry than everyone, but at this moment, we must judge the situation. If we continue to fight, we must be the ones who will be injured." .”

This time it really scared them.

They have put down their dignity and invited Zhang Fei to come over for a discussion. Moreover, the meeting was chaired by Wang Shao and Guo Kui. As a result, Zhang Fei's output was indiscriminate, which made them lose face.

If you still can't see the situation clearly, wouldn't you be stupid?

If you want to mess up the disarmament this time, let's see who dies.

The key point is that Wang Shao and Guo Kui will not go crazy with them. They have made great progress in the officialdom, and they will not gamble with the public security law with their official career.

Just at this time, a knife and pen official came into the house and handed a notice to Wei Yingfang.

When Wei Yingfang saw it, he couldn't help being surprised, "They are going to come for real!"

"What's the truth?" Tang Zhongwen was like a frightened bird.

Wei Yingfang said: "The imperial court has just issued a notice to improve the lending regulations."

"So fast?"

Everyone got up excitedly and gathered around.

You must know that many of the people sitting here are big landlords of the Hezhong Mansion. The reason why they are sitting here now is that they heard that the imperial court wants to improve the lending regulations.

Generally speaking, the imperial court did not change the regulations of "Song Xingtong".

It just unifies some previous conflict regulations and edicts.

For example, in the Miscellaneous Orders of "Song Xingtong", it is stipulated that "all public and private individuals who use their property to raise money will be allowed to rely on private contracts, and the officials will not be reasonable. The monthly profit shall not exceed six cents. , must not exceed double."

That is, the interest rate is 72% per year, and no matter how long it takes, it cannot exceed double.

But later both Zhenzong and Renzong issued edicts, with four and five points.

This time the imperial court set a five-point profit.

It also quotes the edict promulgated during the Zhenzong period, "The people bear interest money, and there is no way to force their land, cattle and livestock to pay for it."

A farmer's fields and cattle cannot be taken at interest.

The other thing is to improve the "Song Xingtong" debt collection regulations, and make sure that creditors are strictly prohibited from taking the debtor's property privately and using their own bodies as substitutes.

At this point, the official is the reason.

Facing non-repayment, you must sue the government for resolution. The imperial court has the responsibility to demand legal interest for the creditor.

In addition, the guarantee law remains unchanged, but it is not allowed to force others to guarantee or force others to borrow money.

It doesn't matter.

They all know the rules.

The most critical thing is one of the regulations and one principle of lending.

The regulation is that the interest must be calculated according to the current market price of the loaned item, and no matter what is repaid, it must be calculated according to this price.

As for the latter principle, it is the principle of consistency between government and private affairs.

Before you owed the government and owed private individuals, the punishment regulations were different.

If you owe the government, it may be directly confiscated, but if you owe a private person, the government will punish you with moss. Solve it yourself.

But those who owe the government may be confiscated directly, and may even be imprisoned.

It's exactly the same now.

This drove those big gentry crazy.

No compromise!

We have to do it!

The only way for landlords to develop is to merge land, and the most common way is to lend money.

Although these regulations have been in place before, but at present, the imperial court is really good at arresting people, and it is unlikely that they will turn a blind eye or close one eye.

Aren't you blocking our development path?

"Sure enough."

Guo Xiaofa suddenly stroked his beard and said.

Wei Yingfang asked: "Why did Guo Tixing say that?"

Guo Xiaofa said: "Have you ever heard of the Green Crop Law that Wang Jiefu will promulgate?"

Some people nodded.

But there are also some people who don't know why.

Cao Yi immediately explained to them.

Guo Xiaofa said again: "It is rumored that many ministers in the court support the Public Procuratorate Law, hoping that the Public Procuratorate Law can fight against the Young Crop Law. Now it seems that this is indeed the case!"

"No."

He Chunlin was puzzled and said: "It looks like it to me, the public security law is laying the foundation for the young crop law."

Guo Xiaofa said: "That's not important, the consistency between public and private is the most important thing. That is to say, the government should not force them to guarantee or borrow money, nor can they confiscate people's property at will. The purpose of Wang Jiefu's reform is to serve the country. To collect money, under such regulations, can the young crop method still make money?"

When Cao Yi heard the words, he had an idea: "In this case, why don't we add fire."

Wei Yingfang asked: "How to add?"

Cao Yidao: "Let's lend at a lower interest rate. Anyway, public and private are consistent. As long as we don't break the law, we can lead the conflict to the imperial court and ask Wang Jiefu to go to the imperial court for accountability."

A gentry snorted: "You said it lightly. Is there no risk in lending? Do you think it is easy to collect debts? Who is willing to lend such a low interest."

The monthly interest of the Green Crop Law is two cents, and the annual interest is 24%. They are now lending at least double.

The gap is too big.

Cao Yi said: "We dare not let go, and the government does not dare to let go. Our low interest rate is only released for those who can repay. As long as the government makes trouble for us, then we will go to the imperial court to appeal. If Wang Jiefu's reform fails, he will definitely not spare Zhang San."

Wei Yingfang nodded frequently when he heard this, and said: "I think this method is feasible. We can't use illegal things to fight the imperial court, but this matter is absolutely legal, so we don't need to be afraid. Let them fight, When they both lose, we will have the final say."
