Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 578: It is tolerable, which is unbearable
Confused!
In fact, many officials, like He Chunlin, feel a little confused about this.
Is it said that fire and water are incompatible?
Why does Zhang Fei still promote the Green Crop Law?
Keep in mind that they all plan to use judicial reform to deal with the young crop law.
Therefore, Zhang Fei's attitude towards the Young Crop Method is also very important to them.
However, they only consider the dispute between the old and the new, but ignore one point, that is, the judicial reform and the new law are actually interdependent.
No!
More precisely, judicial reform is completely dependent on the new law.
Conversely, if there is no new law, who will support judicial reform?
In the hearts of ministers, is judicial reform really necessary?
Therefore, no matter what, Zhang Fei must support the new law and provide the greatest support for the new law. First, he can still win the support of Wang Anshi. Second, only when the new law becomes stronger can this judicial reform continue. develop.
It can be seen that the two are not contradictory at all.
As for the pros and cons of the Green Crop Law, how could Zhang Fei, who has read history textbooks, not know about it, but it’s still the same reason, if the new law has no disadvantages, what is the need for the Public Prosecution Law?
At least that's how others see it.
......
"It seems that our imperial court will become very busy in the future."
While tidying up the documents, Cai Jing glanced at the people who gathered around and whispered.
Today's trial is very beneficial to most debtors and a small number of creditors. It is conceivable that more people will come to the imperial court to file lawsuits.
But Ye Zuqia asked: "Do you think the teacher will let us interrogate?"
Cai Jing nodded and said, "I think it's possible."
Shangguan Jun said anxiously: "But can we do it? Every time I watch the teacher review, it seems very easy, but every time we discuss it, we still don't think carefully."
Ye Zuqia said: "We have to give it a try, otherwise, how will we know whether we have made progress or not."
Cai Bian also nodded slightly.
Honestly, they are a little itchy now too.
This head of the court is different from the county magistrate, which is quite exciting.
.......
Wei Yingfang and the others over there also noticed the changes in the expressions of the common people. You must know that many tenant farmers and self-cultivated farmers are in a state of debt. Zhang Fei also gave them work.
This is very critical.
This is also the best time to repay the debt. There will definitely be many people who will take the initiative to come to the imperial court to sue.
"What do you think?"
When he came outside the court, Wei Yingfang looked at Cao Yi and asked in a low voice.
Cao Yidao: "It's not necessarily a bad thing. This judgment is obviously not good for those big landlords. They must try to fight back."
Wei Yingfang nodded and asked again: "But does this three support the new law or oppose the new law?"
Cao Yi lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, he had no idea about it for a while.
At this moment, He Chunlin walked over.
Wei Yingfang hurriedly asked, "What did Bachelor Yuan say?"
He Chunlin then informed the two of Yuan Jiang's conjecture.
Cao Yi nodded: "It's possible. It is said that Xueshi Wang is currently trusted by the officials, and it is almost impossible to stop the Qingmiao Law. Zhang San took the initiative to ask the people to promote the Changping Division to borrow money. It can also be used to intervene in the young crop law."
Wei Yingfang said: "Will our previous plan force the Imperial Court to join forces with the Transit Department?"
Cao Yidao: "This is impossible. The relationship between the Imperial Court and the Transit Department is not something that can be decided by Zhang San, but by Bachelor Sima and the others. Zhang San is in collusion with Qingmiao Fa, Sima Shi will definitely not allow him to be the judge here again."
Wei Yingfang nodded: "That's true."
Cao Yi said again: "On the contrary, I think that today's judgment is more beneficial to our plan. If those big landlords can lend money to the common people at low interest rates, first of all, we don't have to worry about the common people's repayment. You can use the imperial court to collect debts, and secondly, you can win the hearts of the people and attack the Young Crop Law. These are more beneficial to those big landlords.
At the same time, the Public Prosecutor's Law is bound to have conflicts with the Transit Department, so how can Bachelor Yuan allow the imperial court to arbitrarily interfere with the Transit Department. "
Wei Yingfang sighed: "But those big landlords are all short-sighted, they may not agree to do this."
......
Zhang Fei left the back hall and went directly to the small pavilion by the lake. After a while, Fu Shichun came here.
"Brother Xiaochun, do you know why I invited you here?" Zhang Fei asked with a smile.
Fu Shichun said in a bad mood: "80% is to let us take less vacation and work more."
"Exactly."
Zhang Fei laughed, and immediately said seriously: "The village is the most difficult for the royal police to break through. Although we used military pay and tax collection to open the branch office to the gate of the village, we haven't fully penetrated it.
If you want to completely replace the squire, you must bring benefits to the villagers, and let them get used to finding the police station instead of the squire for decisions. Otherwise, why would they trust the royal police more. "
Fu Shichun said: "The usury is the contradiction between the villagers and the landlords, and the royal police intervene in this way. If one goes up and the other goes up, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Exactly. However, due to the rapid expansion of the police station, there are also fish and dragons in it, so you have to be careful. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't miss it!"
Fu Shichun was helpless: "I'm just the master."
But Zhang Fei said: "Isn't this more exciting than selling monthly newspapers?"
"...!"
Fu Shichun was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "It's more exciting."
.....
Afternoon.
"Are you ready?"
Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian came to the conference room and asked directly.
The four little King Kong looked at each other first, and there was a trace of anxiety in their excited eyes.
"Huh?"
Zhang Fei looked at them suspiciously.
Shangguan Jun asked: "What does the teacher mean?"
"Isn't it?"
Zhang Fei said: "Don't you even have this foresight? After this judgment, there will inevitably be a large number of self-cultivated farmers and tenant farmers who will come to this lawsuit in the next few days. You don't expect them all to be judged by me, do you? Or do you mean today? My son was sleepwalking in the morning, and I haven't concluded, what is the basis for my judgment?"
Ye Zuqia excitedly said: "Teacher, we are ready."
"Very good!"
Zhang Fei nodded.
Shangguan Jun asked: "Teacher, the students are still a little unclear about this morning's judgment?"
"Say."
"It's the question of honesty, rogue and honesty. We know how to judge this, but some of them are in the middle. With this scale, students are still a little uncertain?"
"The teacher knows the face but doesn't know the heart, and the teacher is not a god, so how can he accurately calculate how much integrity they have." Zhang Fei said angrily.
Shangguan was surprised and said: "Then I don't know what is the teacher's standard?"
Cai Jing suddenly said: "Could it be the ability to repay?"
"Cai Jing is right."
Zhang Fei said: "Integrity is of course very important, but to judge how much integrity a person has, it requires a lot of investigation, so this is not the only judgment factor.
The most important factor still has to be weighed, how much repayment ability they have. Based on this, decide how to help them. Of course, a person without integrity is not worth giving us substantial help, because the risk is too great, we can only give them a chance to reform themselves first.
This is like Naluo Dawu. If the police station handed over the cloth to him, he would probably lose at night. All in all, integrity is a very critical factor, but we only need to focus on that passing line, as long as we abide by the basic integrity, it is enough.
For the rest, it depends on their repayment ability, and then a final judgment will be given. "
Cai Bian said: "No wonder the teacher always asks about the specific situation of their family."
"Exactly."
Zhang Fei nodded with a smile, and looked at them again, "Don't be too afraid, you just need to remember one thing and defend your legitimate rights and interests. There is no distinction between tenants and landlords in this sentence, so you must use equal eyes , to treat landlords and tenant farmers, so that you will not make mistakes easily."
Xu Zhiqian suddenly said: "The weak should be helped more, so that it can be fair."
Zhang Fei did not look back at her, but immediately smiled and said to Cai Jing and the others, "Don't be like Master Xu, who only sees the weak, so she can only be the chief judge, but you are going to be the chief judge people."
The four little vajras lowered their heads at the same time, a master and a master's wife can't afford to offend them!
Xu Zhiqian made a face at Zhang Fei's back.
Cai Bian suddenly said: "But...but the students feel that Master Xu's words are reasonable."
"This is not a reason, but an ideal."
Zhang Fei said: "The truth must be based on reality. The reality is that the landlord is very powerful and the tenant farmers are very weak. If it is fair according to Master Xu's book, it is very simple, that is, the landlord's money will be distributed equally to the tenant farmers.
But is this consistent with the principle of the rule of law? "
The four shook their heads at the same time.
"Of course not."
Zhang Fei said: "To defend everyone's legitimate rights and interests, do landlords have legitimate rights and interests? Of course there are gains. The fairness of the legal system is not an ideal, but a reality, and it can even be said to be the final bottom line.
And in the trial in the morning, what is our bottom line? "
"Basic security for people's lives." Ye Zuqia replied.
"Good."
Zhang Fei nodded, "But in fact, as far as the contract is concerned, we should award the land to the landlord to repay the debt, but if we do this, the consequences may cause the debtor to starve to death, because it will not only consume The interests of the country and the monarch are also not allowed by morality.
Do you still remember what I taught you in class, in the law of the rule of law, does morality affect guilt or incrimination? "
"Guilty."
"Good."
Zhang Fei nodded, "You must remember one thing. So far, our purpose is to hold this bottom line, not to raise it. Master Xu's theory just now, in a certain sense Say, just to raise the bottom line?
Can we do this? "
Several people were lost in the lake.
Shouldn't we pursue a higher realm?
"Huh?"
Zhang Fei looked at them again.
"Can't...?"
"Remove the 'do'."
"Can't."
"Of course not, I still have to think about it."
Zhang Fei said depressedly: "You gave me back everything I taught you. Does Master Xu's claim belong to the law of the legal system or the law of Confucianism?"
"Confucian law."
"It must belong to the law of Confucianism."
Zhang Fei said: "Bringing a better life to the people and reducing the disparity in everyone's wealth are all Confucian methods.
For example, our imperial court has no right to require the rich to pay more taxes and the poor to pay less taxes, but the Zhengshitang has the right to decide. And what can we decide? It is this tax that cannot drive people to death. This applies to usury, to military pay, and to tax laws. do you understand? "
The four nodded at the same time.
Zhang Fei said: "As the president of the judge, you must treat both the plaintiff and the defendant with equal eyes. If you can't understand now, then just memorize it by rote."
"Yes, the students know."
"In addition, we will recruit a group of dentists and accountants to assist you and help you formulate a compensation plan, which will reduce your burden. Therefore."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "In the future, whether the teacher can spend more time with his wife at home depends entirely on your performance."
"Hey!"
.......
After today's trial, almost everyone foresees that there will be a wave of lawsuits in the Hezhong Mansion.
Because the current usury exploitation is very ruthless and involves a wide range of areas, the common people suffer unspeakably. The key is that under normal circumstances, it will never end. No matter how hard they try, this is a kind of despair.
As for today's judgment, although they still rely on their own efforts, at least they have the hope of repaying all the debts.
Everyone will definitely come to sue!
Sure enough.
On the second day, the imperial court ushered in a peak flow of people.
You must know that there were many self-cultivating farmers who came here to watch the trial yesterday, and they will soon tell other villagers about today's verdict.
In the previous lawsuits, the landlord sued the tenant, but today it is completely reversed, and the tenant sues the landlord.
This makes LAD miserable.
It is only natural for the landlord to sue the tenant farmers for debt repayment, and the pleadings are very easy to write.
However, the tenant farmers sue the landlords, so they have to find an angle and a reason.
Fortunately, 99% of today's land deeds have problems. This reason is easy to find, but the law aid agency needs to understand the situation in more detail.
Of course, this also made those big landlords furious.
The issue of taxation over there has not yet been resolved, and here it hits our development path again.
To charge us more money, but also to cut off our money.
It is tolerable or unbearable!
For a while, the river mansion was undercurrents and turbulent!
Confrontation is inevitable.
Because the big landlord is absolutely impossible to endure all this!
Cai Yanqing and the others were also very nervous. They knew the strength of these big landlords and they should not be careless, so they also secretly sent people to inquire about the news.
"Prefect Cai, do you have any news?"
Yuan Jiang came into the house and asked Cai Yanqing.
Cai Yanqing nodded and said: "There are already some eyebrows."
Yuan Jiang hurriedly asked: "What's the situation?"
Cai Yanqing said: "Originally, those big landlords were divided into two factions. One faction expressed that they would confront the imperial court head-on, but they refused to implement it. At the same time, they stopped some loans and asked the people to go to the imperial court to borrow money.
There is another faction that expresses that it will lend money at a lower interest rate against the Young Crops Law. "
Yuan Jiang was taken aback, and quickly asked: "Then which faction has the upper hand at present?"
Cai Yanqing said: "Aiming at the faction of the Qingmiao Law, because most landlords think that the people's hearts are not against them at this time, and many soldiers have to rely on the imperial court to recover compensation, and they are not many. Grasp.
As for the young crop law, lending at a lower interest rate can not only win the hearts of the people, but also rely on the imperial court to earn some interest. "
Yuan Jiang said: "The imperial court is targeting them, not the transshipment department."
Cai Yanqing said: "I guess, they also want to use this to provoke conflicts between the imperial court and the transshipment department."
Yuan Jiang thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Can the government prohibit them from doing this?"
Cai Yanqing frowned slightly, "Why?"
Yuan Jiang sighed: "I also know that low-interest lending is more beneficial to the people, but if the Young Crop Law fails, it will seriously affect Wang Xueshi's New Deal. We can think about the overall situation, and once the new law fails, they will inevitably It will raise the interest rate again.”
What Zhao Xu wants is to improve finances, not to really focus on fighting usury. The millions of principals lost to the law are all borrowed from the emperor, which is for interest.
If Wang Anshi can't make money, it will be difficult for him to pay the emperor.
Yuan Jiang really didn't expect that the other party would directly turn their guns on the new law, obviously it was the imperial court who was torturing them.
He planned to develop insignificantly like the police station, and let the imperial court go to the front to fight them.
Cai Yanqing said: "It wasn't impossible in the past, but now that politics and law are separated, Bachelor Yuan may have to go to Chief Judge Zhang for advice on how to deal with it."
Yuan Jiang froze for a moment, then glanced at Cai Yanqing with a guilty conscience.
Cai Yanqing caressed his beard and smiled, "Scholar Yuan can pretend that I don't know."
