Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 618: Institutional Competition

Although Wang Anshi's personality is stubborn, he is by no means a reckless man. He still has a very clear judgment on the whole situation. Either because of his forehead, or because of Ouyang Xiu's anger, he wants to put aside the public prosecution and go it alone.

It’s just that he knows that according to the current situation in the DPRK and China, if we continue to cooperate with the Public Security Law, the New Deal will become precarious, because the voices opposing the Public Security Law within the reformist faction are getting louder, and finance is the country’s problem The reason is that this is also Zhao Xu's greatest expectation for him. Wenzhi and martial arts cost money.

On the contrary, regardless of the public security law, it is possible to gain the support of local officials. At this moment, this effect is better than using the public security law to rule officials.

However, he still made a small misjudgment.

He believes that the success of the Public Security Law in Bianliang and Hezhong prefectures depends entirely on Zhang Fei's personal ability, rather than the entire system of the Public Security Law.

And this judgment mainly comes from his many secret contacts with Zhang Fei. He is very clear why the public security law can gain a foothold in Hezhong Mansion. Many methods were played in it to create this illusion.

Of course, he admires Zhang Fei very much, and thinks that Zhang Fei's talent can indeed help his New Deal, but he doesn't think that the Public Security Law can bring him much benefit to the New Deal.

Without Zhang Fei, the public prosecution would not have been successful, and Fan Chunren and Su Shi are the best proofs.

Therefore, after some consideration, he believes that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages of setting aside the Public Prosecution Law. He can use the officials' worries about the Public Prosecution Law to unite them by his side and complete the reform.

In fact, this is what he had thought a long time ago. The reformers have been using this to divide the conservatives and strengthen their own forces, and they have achieved great success so far.

Ouyang Xiu's memorial just accelerated the whole process.

If you want to ask, in history, who is the real master of arching fire, no matter how you rank, Ouyang Xiu must be on the list, otherwise, there must be problems with the credibility of this list.

He can always hold a torch, find the fuse accurately, and then ignite the fuse inadvertently, but you can hardly tell that he is intentional, because he always detonates his own people and makes the enemy stand They looked at each other in the distance.

This is the best part.

During the Qingli New Deal, he wrote a crony theory, which directly pushed the party struggle to a climax at that time, and finally caused the Qingli New Deal to die, a proper pig teammate.

But even Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi didn't know what to say.

Because what Ouyang Xiu said is very reasonable.

In fact, from that crony theory, we can even see the political system of modern society.

I'm afraid that geniuses will tell the truth.

At this moment, just like that moment, Ouyang Xiu's memorial, like a gunshot, caused the battle between the two methods to start sprinting on the track.

He didn't do it on purpose. He has been living in Qingzhou in recent years, leisurely, and has no intention of returning to the central government. However, he does not support the Qingmiao Law. Like Sima Guang and the others, he believes that the Qingmiao Law will eventually become a It is an evil law to collect money, because he also knows that Wang Anshi's main purpose is to collect money for the country, and serving the people is just a slogan.

However, he doesn't know much about the public security law, because the public security law in Dengzhou nearby seems to be quiet, and he is looking for a reason to prevent the young crop law from entering Qingzhou.

But the reason he found was to detonate the powder keg directly.

Wang Anshi's hatred for him directly exceeds Sima Guang.

However, Fu Bi knew very well in his heart that this matter would definitely anger Wang Anshi, but he also wanted to fight the fire because he thought that the public security law could make up for the shortcomings of the New Deal, but Wang Anshi obviously didn't think so. This problem can be adjusted in time.

But he also knew that Wang Anshi's character was very obstinate, otherwise he would not agree with this fact.

Based on the situation of Hezhong Prefecture, Fu Bi now supports the new law to fly alone, because he believes that there must be problems with the new policy, which can prove the excellence of the public security law, because Fu Bi is very clear in his heart that the obstacles encountered by the public security law are gradually Bigger than the New Deal.

Even if Sima Guang wants to promote the full implementation of the Public Security Law, he will not be able to. There are more and more opposition parties in the DPRK and China. The current situation in the DPRK and China is very complicated.

It's just that Fu Bi was afraid of Wang Anshi's revenge and worried that the Legislative Council would be involved, so he didn't say anything.

I never thought that Zhao Xu would still tell Wang Anshi about it.

Although in history, Zhao Xu fully supported Wang Anshi, but the appearance of Zhang Fei gave him one more choice, and one more person on the poker table. What Fu Bi thought was also what he thought.

Just one way is on Shaanxi West Road, and the other way is on Tokyo East Road.

One left and one right, one east and one west.

The implementation methods adopted by the two are also completely different. Wang Anshi still adopts the traditional method, which is to rely on the government's administrative orders to promote the new policy.

He deliberately selected two generals, Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun, as the promotion officials, to go to Tokyo East Road to implement the young crop method.

In Hezhong Prefecture, due to the existence of the public security law, the administration is greatly constrained, and the government has transformed into a commercial method to operate the New Deal.

Of course, this was not uncommon for the Song Dynasty, such as tea, salt, and wine, all of which were government-private business cooperation, and more inclined to commercial cooperation, but the government sold privileges, not commodities.

However, the cooperation between the government and the Majia Jiekupu still caught many people by surprise.

As a representative of country gentry and big landlord, Liang Youyi hurried to Wei Mansion again to inquire about the situation.

In the last injunction lawsuit, the squires and big landlords won a big victory. Now they are waiting to eat melons. They never thought that the government would cooperate with the businessmen. This is really unexpected, and they don't know what happened.

"Your government really intends to cooperate with Majiajiekupu?"

Liang Youyi looked at Wei Yingfang in shock.

Wei Yingfang nodded and said: "According to Yuan Xueshi's opinion, the Tiju Changping Division is only responsible for relief, water conservancy, salt debt, and salt banknotes, but in terms of lending, it is delegated to the Jieku Shop of the Ma family."

"Would this work?"

Liang Youyi was a little dumbfounded, "The Young Crop Law is not a new national policy, how can it be entrusted to businessmen?"

He Chunlin sighed: "The reason for Bachelor Yuan is that you squires forced you to do this. Anyway, the Transshipment Department has completely given up lending money to villagers, and at the same time hopes to lend money to merchants and estates. , just like the housing loan in the capital, to complete the achievements of the Young Crop Law.”

"Did we really force it?"

Liang Youyi frowned and said, "Tell me, could this be a feint? They didn't intend to lend money to those farmers. Instead, they used this to allow us to lend money to farmers at low interest rates to pay the imperial court. Lend money to merchants with higher profits.”

Cao Yi frowned and said: "We have thought about this too, but the regulations of the Young Crop Law were formulated by the imperial court, and lending to merchants, although the profit is high, but the number of borrowers is very limited, and they cannot earn too much."

Liang Youyi said: "Since the policy of the imperial court is set in this way, is the government's doing so a violation of the government order?"

Cao Yi shook his head and sighed: "It's hard to say, because the imperial court didn't stipulate what method the government must use to lend money, and Yuan scholars borrowed money from the government, and many scholar-officials complained that they were fighting with the people. For the sake of profit, it makes sense to lend money through the private Jieku shop, and in the end, we can only find out after the incident of Hansi comes."

Liang Youyi looked at them, "Then what should we do now?"

Wei Yingfang and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Actually, the two sides are still discussing the matter of auditing the accounts. If the government is unwilling to allow them to audit the accounts, then Majia Jiekupu will not accept the salt debt as collateral.

However, after the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar.

Especially those big landowners, they think they have been played with, the young crop law, and the exemption law are just trying to cover up, and the real killer is the tax department.

The fundamental purpose of the government is to collect taxes. To be precise, it is to collect taxes from these big landlords.

They are all experts in lending money. They know how much money they can make by lending money to merchants. The answer they come up with is that it is impossible to improve finances.

The only thing that can improve finances is the mysterious, arrogant, and terrifying tax secretary.

However, now they still owe a large amount of deed tax, and they will face the integration of various taxes this year. They are all trying to figure out how to avoid this tax.

Unfortunately, due to the existence of the Public Prosecution Law, the previous routine can no longer be played, because there is no way to bribe the entire Public Prosecution Law, not to mention that their relationship with the Public Prosecution Law is very bad. With the help of the pen, they ran to Li Min to discuss countermeasures.

Although this is not the first time they have dealt with each other, after all, what everyone is talking about is illegal, and everyone still speaks in a rather cryptic manner. After all, Li Min is not one of them.

After listening for a long time, Li Min finally understood, and said directly: "You all should want to legally avoid taxes, right?"

All the big landlords were startled, can this be said directly? It's the imperial court outside!

Li Min explained: "Legal tax avoidance is legal, and there is nothing to worry about, just like everyone stored land in temples and Taoist temples before."

"Yes, yes, we just want to seek legal tax avoidance."

In this way, these big landlords were relieved a little and admitted it directly.

Li Mindao: "At present, we can only give advice to everyone. We can only accurately calculate our own income and not pay an extra penny in taxes, but if we want to legally avoid taxes, it is estimated that this is still very difficult."

"What's so difficult?"

"The tax department only has the right to inspect taxes, but whether it is tax evasion or not is determined by the imperial court, and the imperial court mainly looks at evidence. Judicially speaking, income that has not been investigated means that there is no need to pay taxes. Yes, but there is still a three-year limit, as long as it can be guaranteed that it will not be found out within three years, it can be regarded as legal tax avoidance.

The key lies in the evidence, but since no one knows how the tax department inspects the tax, they are not investigating in an open manner like the Royal Police. No one knows where their evidence comes from? "

A big landlord suddenly said: "I know that."

Li Min was surprised: "You know?"

The big landlord nodded and said: "They recruited tax collectors and some dutou in the barracks, and wanted to rely on their experience to check taxes."

Is it that simple? Li Min didn't even believe it, so he said: "I don't know, so I can't guarantee that you will not be found out."

One person asked: "What will happen if you are found out?"

Li Min said: "Then we can only plead guilty and accept punishment."

"Is there no other way for you, Erbi?"

"At present, there is only one way to pay less tax."

"How?"

"Do charity."

Li Min told them about the Bianjing Charity Foundation.

The result immediately attracted fierce opposition from the other party. This money is a real donation, that is not a fake donation, and you can't get it back at any time.

Naturally, Li Min didn't force them, he just said: "What we, Er Bi, can do now is to ensure that you are not wronged. As long as they don't have enough evidence, they won't be able to make you pay taxes."

The implication is that if the temple is used to legally avoid taxes as before, Erbi does not have the ability for the time being, because they do not know how the tax department finds the evidence. Once the evidence is found, the lawsuit will be settled Loser, on this point, Zhang Fei has actually hinted at them what the imperial court's attitude will be when dealing with tax evasion.

To put it simply, this kind of government will be very difficult to fight.

These big landlords looked at each other in blank dismay, could they really just gamble?

Li Min saw it in his eyes and said: "I would like to suggest to everyone that you are not absolutely sure, so don't gamble. Once the evidence is found, the consequences will be very serious. You should also listen to it." Having said that, many rich men in the capital are planted on top of the tax department."

"I heard that the first offender will not be punished. If we only pay a few tens of guan less in taxes, is the fine at most a hundred and dozens of guan?"

"I know what Yuanwai means, yes, according to the imperial court's decree, no matter whether you are intentional or not, as long as you are the first offender, you are only fined, but I still don't recommend you to do this, because once you are found out, if you If you are not the first offender, the consequences will be very serious."

A group of big landlords made eye contact, as long as the government's finances are not good, it is still unknown whether the public security law can last until the second year!

Xu Qingnian suddenly said: "By the way! Do you know about the cooperation between the government and the Majia Jiekupu?"

Li Min nodded and said, "I heard."

Xu Qingnian said: "The government cooperates with the Ma family's Xie Ku shop, and the Ma family will do all the business. What about the other Jie Ku shops in this city? Who is the opponent of the Ma family's Xie Ku shop?"

Li Min had an idea, pondered for a while, and then said: "If you all have needs in this regard, I can sue them for this."

As soon as the rest of the people heard this, they immediately filed a complaint.

Xu Qingnian said this because his family also opened Jiejie Kupu, and was worried that their business would be hit. Although the rest of them did not open Jiejie Kupu, they were willing to try as long as they could cause trouble for the government.

At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums was suddenly heard outside.

"What's that sound?"

Everyone panicked.

Li Min hurriedly explained: "This is the sound of the law school dismissing get out of class."

Laughing inwardly, these people are arrogant in their mouths, but they are still very afraid of the imperial court in their hearts.

Law school.

"You are the luckiest students. You can learn while doing things, and you can quickly integrate what you have learned. Therefore, we hope that whether you are in the Legal Aid Department, or helping the Royal Court or the police station, Do your best, this will be the most precious wealth in your life.”

Zhang Fei said to the students while packing up the copywriting.

"The teacher's teaching, the students must remember it in their hearts."

"get out of class is over."

Zhang Fei took the copy and walked outside.

"Teacher, walk slowly."

The students all stood up and bowed.

"Yeah."

Zhang Fei just nodded his head slightly, stood in front of the door, looked at the dark sky outside, "Everyone, please make room."

There is no way, Chief Judge Zhang is now the idol of the whole people, whether it is in court or in class, there will always be a group of loyal fans standing outside quietly listening.

"President Zhang, when is your trial?"

"Yes! We haven't watched President Zhang's trial for a long time."

"What? Cai Er and the others did not do well in the interrogation?"

"They did a good trial, but we still hope to see President Zhang trial the case."

"If there is a big case, I will personally try it."

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.

During this period, he has been taking classes in the law school. On the one hand, these students all have a foundation in law, and they also learned the basics of legal law last year. way of review.

On the other hand, it's because the Four Little King Kongs don't have time to give them lessons recently. After all, they have to go outside to take charge of their own affairs soon, and they have to absorb experience as soon as possible.

They have to try more than 10 or 20 cases every day, because many people now come to the imperial court for lawsuits over big disputes. You will be punished, at most it will not be accepted, the key is not to ask for money.

Jurisdiction is undoubtedly the cheapest commodity in Hezhong Prefecture.

Zhang Fei didn't stop the situation either, and asked them to lead a few students each, and try all who could, regardless of the size of the case.

Currently, the Public Security Bureau is in urgent need of talents, but they don't have much time for them. The method of master leading apprentices is the fastest way.

After graduating from law school, Zhang Fei was not in a hurry to return to the imperial court, but went to Dagou's restaurant.

The big dog immediately greeted him personally, and brought Zhang Fei to a private room.

"What's the situation outside now?"

After sitting down, Zhang Fei asked in a low voice.

The big dog said: "Many big landlords outside now generally believe that the tax department is the biggest enemy, and they are trying to avoid taxes. In many transactions, they try not to choose to sign a contract, and directly trade money and goods. But at present This approach has become increasingly difficult, and many merchants still require a contract to state the distribution of profits and debts.

Our people estimate that they will choose to hide some taxes, and see if the tax department can find out. Anyway, the first offender will not be punished, just figure out how much compensation will be paid in the end. "

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with their prediction. The government should collect taxes to maintain finances. The new policy is only to adjust expenditure and income and generate more taxes at the same time. Are you sure?"

The big dog suddenly grinned, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, they can't escape, they are all rich and powerful, and they can't hide. In this year, our people are enough to investigate them to the bottom. "

The people in the tax department all rely on bonuses to make their fortunes. Who cares about how much tax the people have to pay?

"It's good for you to have faith."

Zhang Fei nodded, and said again: "I came here today because I have something to tell you. Do you know that the imperial court has decided to implement the exemption law and young crop law on Tokyo East Road."

The big dog nodded and said: "I just heard about it, and I haven't settled down yet."

Zhang Fei said: "How many people do I have over there?"

The big dog immediately said: "We are really full of talents over there, but we have never been able to use them. I really look forward to our tax department going over every day."

"No rush!"

Zhang Fei said: "Let them collect information secretly. When the tax department is gone, their information can be exchanged for bonuses. In addition, this year's slack is coming soon. It is estimated that the Green Crop Law will definitely be in Tokyo East Road during this period. Expand, I need to receive the news from there as soon as possible, especially about the local implementation of the Immunization Law and the Young Crops Law.”

The big dog immediately said: "Understood! I will send the letter later."

Now Zhang Fei can no longer confine his eyes to the Hezhong Mansion, but has to turn his eyes to the whole country, because the real competition between the two laws has kicked off, and he must pay attention to the situation between the North Korea and China. Just let it go, and no powerful person will fight with his wealth and life, but now he is a chief judge, and he has offended too many people, and he cannot afford to lose in this struggle.

The government over there has also discussed with Ma's Jiekupu after several days, and finally decided on the audit plan for both parties, and reached a cooperation contract. The government will first invest 20,000 yuan in Jiekupu, and also promised that Will continue to invest 10,000 guan.

But just after the contract was signed, Su Zhe came to the door.

"Hey! What kind of wind is it today that brought the Chief Prosecutor of Su University here."

Seeing Su Zhe, Yuan Jiang naturally wouldn't show any embarrassment. It can be seen that his acting skills are always online.

Su Zhe bowed and said meaningfully: "I'm really sorry! Zhe has come to trouble Bachelor Yuan again."

The officials sitting there couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Yuan Jiang frowned, "What's the matter?"

Su Zhe said: "Someone has sued you for promoting Chang Ping Si and Ma Jiajie Kupu for private transfers."

"?"

He Chunlin on the side said: "Acceptance in private? Our promotion of Changping Division is just to cooperate with the Majia Jiekupu. Everyone knows this. Why did the accreditation come from? Is your procuratorate in a hurry? There are so many things going on among the people, if you don’t look at them, just focus on our transshipment department.”

Yuan Jiang first raised her hand, signaling to He Chunlin not to get excited, and then said to Su Zhe, "What evidence do they have to sue us for giving and receiving?"

Su Zhe said: "The reason for their prosecution is that the Changping Secretary suddenly chose to cooperate with the Ma family and did not inquire about other Jieku shops. Before that, they had not even heard of these things. They also invested 20,000 guan in the promotion of Changping Division, which they feel is unfair, and there must be tricks in it."

He Chunlin said: "Who our government cooperates with is our own business, and no one can control it."

Su Zhe said: "Our procuratorate has no control over who the government cooperates with, but our procuratorate has the right to investigate why Majia Jiekupu was selected for the promotion of Changping Division. You should also know that this kind of money transaction, Corruption is the easiest to breed, and if some people express doubts, our procuratorate cannot sit idly by."

He Chunlin looked at Yuan Jiang.

Yuan Jiang sighed, waved her hand and said: "Check it! Check it! I'm tired now, too lazy to argue with you."

Originally they thought that the procuratorate was just asking questions, but they didn't expect that the current procuratorate is in its complete form, and the procuratorate's procuratorate procedures were all determined by Zhang Fei at the beginning.

More than a dozen inspectors and seven or eight accounting offices questioned the officials involved in the matter one by one, and at the same time reviewed the relevant accounts and the contract between the government and the Majia Jiekupu one by one.

Even called Fan Zheng to interrogate him together.

It made those officials tremble with fear.

Fortunately, they have good reasons for cooperating with Majia Jiekupu, and no one is taking advantage of it.

First of all, behind the Majia Jiekupu is the Majia Pawnshop and the Charity Foundation. They have sufficient financial guarantees, and they will never run away just because of a mere 20,000 yuan.

Having said that, it is really rare to be unmoved in the face of 20,000 guan!

Secondly, the imperial court and the charitable foundation already have transportation cooperation, so it is reasonable to strengthen cooperation with them and hand over the flying money business to them.

Because you have no transportation guarantee for flying money, it is also impossible to play.

Finally and most importantly, Yuan Jiang also said that the government is not opposed to cooperating with other businessmen, as long as they can meet the requirements for cooperating with the government, including transportation teams, any businessman can cooperate with the government, the main thing is to have a mortgage thing.

After a full seven days of investigation, all the inspections were completed, and the procuratorate finally stated that there was no problem.

But for the government, this is not a false alarm, but a shock, and the degree of dislike for the procuratorate directly surpasses that of the imperial court.

Your procuratorate can investigate anything!

Indeed, as Su Zhe said, this kind of transaction is very easy to breed corruption, and it is also a good project for officials to make money. Now that the procuratorate is so staring, who will dare to make money in the future.

Facing the investigation methods of the procuratorate, the current methods of corruption are completely unsatisfactory.
