Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 656: The difficulty of beating workers

When the court struggle was at its most intense, Zhang Fei took care of two pregnant women at home and thanked guests behind closed doors. However, after the battle subsided, Zhang Fei became extremely busy.

He has to come out quickly to clean up this mess, because he has contributed a lot in it, and it can even be said that this mess was created by him alone, and this is his result.

After talking with Sima Guang, Zhang Fei visited Wang Anshi's residence again.

Whether eating Sanjiafan is a mental job, let’s talk about it, but it must be a coolie!

"Everything has been negotiated. At that time, the Secretary of Changping can cooperate with the charity foundation to continue to implement the young crop law on Jingdong East Road."

When Zhang Fei saw Wang Anshi, Zhang Fei was unable to exchange pleasantries or courteous manners, and only spoke in a slightly tired voice.

It turned out that the Majiahe Charity Foundation took over the offer not only to help Sima Guang solve his troubles, but also to re-arrange for Wang Anshi's New Deal.

Just imagine, the Green Crop Law has reached such a level that it can be said that it has lost the hearts of the people on Jingdong East Road. Even if it can be resolved, how can the Green Crop Law be implemented on Jingdong East Road?

This is actually a big problem, but there are not many people who really care about the Green Crops Law. Most of them hope that they will die together. A big crisis of confidence.

It's not that the emperor doesn't trust it, but that the people don't trust it anymore.

It is also known why Wang Anshi often sighs, are the officials on Jingdong East Road dealing with Sima Guang, or me, Wang Anshi!

If the decision of the imperial court is the final solution, then Wang Anshi will definitely not agree to it, so Zhang Fei has already helped him figure out a countermeasure, which is to follow the example of Hezhong Mansion, and the Qingmiao method borrows the merchant's solution store to change its shell Rebirth.

The Jiekupu will purchase those debts, determine the debt relationship with the people, and then give the people a breathing space by extending the repayment period, and help Qingmiaofa gain the trust of the people again.

Of course, this is also the easiest step. Otherwise, Zhang Fei would not dare to do this. If the charity foundation does not take over, the difficulty of this endgame will increase sharply.

Because Zhang Fei has absolute authority in the charity foundation, don't look at Zhang Fei's negotiating with Ma Tianhao and Fan Zheng, he always seems to be humble.

But in essence, it is Ma Tianhao and Fan Zheng who are dying, begging for more protection for their own interests. It is clear that the charitable foundation is very dependent on Zhang Fei.

If Zhang Fei made up his mind, they could only ask for more favorable conditions and guarantees within this framework.

This must be good news for Wang Anshi, but Wang Anshi just nodded his head, he didn't seem to be very interested, not as excited as Sima Guang.

After Zhang Fei saw it, he couldn't help asking: "Scholar Wang doesn't seem to be satisfied with this?"

Wang Anshi glanced at him, pondered for a while, and said: "It's not just dissatisfaction, it can be said that it is very dissatisfaction."

Are you not satisfied with this? Or did he see something? Zhang Fei was stunned for a while, feeling worried, but he didn't show it, he just said in a sarcastic way: "But there's only so much I can do."

Wang Anshi frowned and said: "If the Young Crop Law has to rely on the public security law, or even private businessmen, it can only show that the Young Crop Law is not successful."

Where is my authority?

After hearing this, Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head and said, "I don't agree with Wang Xueshi's words."

Wang Anshi said: "Then tell me your opinion?"

Zhang Fei said: "Don't talk about Wang Xueshi's young crop law, even Shang Yang's new law, it needs to be defended by the law enforcement to be successful.

Therefore, the New Deal must rely on the judiciary. Whether it is the public security law or the old judicial system, if the New Deal cannot be guaranteed to be implemented in accordance with the regulations, it will inevitably fail.

As for relying on private businessmen, this is not necessary, but it is beneficial to the current New Deal, why did Wang Xueshi refuse. "

After speaking, he looked at Wang Anshi nervously.

In fact, the two people are fighting for the law of the legal system and the law of the Legalists.

What Zhang Fei said is true, any reform must rely on the judiciary, but the old judicial system can be completely controlled by Wang Anshi, just like Shang Yang, relying on authority to formulate the rules of the game, this is what Wang Anshi wanted.

Now it is changed to the law of the legal system, and Wang Anshi must operate within this rule.

And this is precisely what Zhang Fei is most worried about. He also knows in his heart that the legalist law is the most beneficial to Wang Anshi personally. Only by being supported by Zhang Fei can Wang Anshi be forced to slowly accept the law of the rule of law.

"Yes."

Wang Anshi nodded, and sighed again: "I admit that this crisis was caused by my fighting spirit with Sima Junshi, but under the circumstances at that time, I had to do so, and the reform was very difficult. Therefore, we must show the determination to overcome all difficulties before we can carry it out firmly.”

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I fully understand."

Since ancient times, reforms have always followed the laws of the legalists, and whoever opposes it should be punished, because if you don't do it, there will only be more and more opponents, and the emperor will waver, which is the most deadly.

"But now it's bad!"

Wang Anshi suddenly sighed, "I am also a little hesitant."

Zhang Fei opened his eyes and asked in surprise, "Why?"

Wang Anshi said: "Because judging from the implementation process of the Green Crop Law on Jingdong East Road, there are indeed many problems. You can't have both."

Zhang Fei pondered for a while, "If this is a matter of eating and drinking, it is really impossible to have both. Because if the Young Crop Law is biased towards helping the people, even if it can bring financial help to the country, it will be negligible. Even if those landlords borrow money from usury every year, it is not enough to put it in the national accounts. If you want the accounts to shine, you must get more from the people.”

Wang Anshi couldn't help showing hesitation.

It's hard!

Although he keeps saying that he is doing it for the people and improving the finances by the way, but he actually wants to improve the finances and help the people, and that is just an excuse.

What Sima Guang said was right.

The reason is very simple. The emperor used Wang Anshi to improve the country's finances, not to help the people.

Wang Anshi must put this goal first.

Therefore, no matter if it is Sima Guang or Su Zhe, it is directly affirmed that the Young Crop Law is an evil law. Although the regulations are very reasonable, since you want to improve finances, it is impossible for you to implement it like this.

But having said that, if the finances are not improved significantly and KPIs cannot be played, Wang Anshi will lose the support of the emperor.

From the implementation of Jingdong East Road, Wang Anshi clearly knew that the imperial court would not get much profit if they lent money purely in accordance with the regulations of the Young Crop Law. People need to spend money to collect debts.

Although Wang Anshi has an aloof personality, he still knows how to reflect when faced with failure. He just said that he would not show it in front of anyone, which is why Zhang Fei was surprised.

As the leader of the reformists, Wang Anshi must show his determination at all times, otherwise, it may be completely over.

But for Wang Anshi, Zhang Fei is an exception, not that he trusts Zhang Fei the most, it's just because he has already admitted his mistake to Zhang Fei, and he has already lost his face, so he is not afraid of losing it again.

Furthermore, he admitted his mistake this time, but he did not lose confidence, and he was already prepared to adjust the new law.

Wang Anshi is so vulnerable, he's going to be down, don't play with me, okay, if you want to get down, then I can't play anymore. Seeing Wang Anshi's depression, Zhang Fei felt a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "With the assistance of the Public Prosecutor's Law, the Young Crop Law can still be successful, but the benefits will not be directly reflected in the accounts of the Young Crop Law."

Wang Anshi asked: "How do you say that?"

Zhang Fei said: "If the Green Crop Law is biased towards the common people, it can indeed effectively prevent land mergers and civil conflicts, which can lay a solid foundation for tax revenue. Judicial reform cannot maintain security in this regard.

Because the people lose their land and have no food to eat, this is not caused by illegal activities, but it will inevitably increase illegal activities and make the public security and law enforcement exhausted. The two actually complement each other.

However. "

When he said this, he hesitated to speak.

Wang Anshi asked: "But what?"

Zhang Fei said: "I just think that the young crop method does not conform to Wang Xueshi's proposition."

Wang Anshi asked: "Why is it not in compliance? The Green Crop Law does not increase the wealth of the people, but at the same time it can improve finances."

Zhang Fei said: "However, the basis of Wang Xueshi's ignorance of the people and the use of the country is that those who enrich their families will capitalize on the country, those who enrich their country will capitalize on the world, and those who want to enrich the world will capitalize on the world."

Wang Anshi said: "I still have the farmland water conservancy law that has not yet been promulgated."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Yes, the farmland water conservancy law is very in line with Wang Xueshi's proposition, but in Wang Xueshi's policy, it still focuses more on the green crop law."

Wang Anshi smiled and said: "You are right, but it is unrealistic. The Farmland Water Conservancy Law requires money. How can we implement the Farmland Water Conservancy Law without improving finances?"

Zhang Fei said: "But if the Green Crops Law can improve finances well, I can guarantee that Xueshi Wang will devote more energy to the Green Crops Law instead of the Farmland Water Conservancy Law."

Wang Anshi did not make a sound.

Obviously the default.

The Farmland Water Conservancy Law only improves water conservancy and promotes agricultural development, but it will take a long time to see the effect. If the Young Crops Law can achieve immediate results, who will take the Farmland Water Conservancy Law seriously.

Zhang Fei said: "It is precisely because of the large error in Wang Xueshi's proposition and implementation that people criticize him."

Wang Anshi heard that there was something in his words, so he couldn't help saying: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't go around here."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Supposing there is a medicine in this world that can cure all diseases, Wang Xueshi thinks, how much money can he make with this medicine?"

Wang Anshi said: "If you can cure all diseases, you will definitely be able to earn all the wealth in the world."

Zhang Fei said: "Assuming that Master Wang is using this medicine to make money for the country, will Master Sima still think that Master Wang is competing for profit with the people?"

"Of course not!"

Wang Anshi seems to have thought of something.

Zhang Fei said: "If you make money by relying solely on the monopoly of wine, tea, salt, and iron, there will naturally be people who will not accept it. Who dares to refuse.

Another example is the Farmland Water Conservancy Law. If you want to implement this law, you must improve irrigation and farm tools. All of these include one thing, that is technology. Only by improving farm tools can the people's wealth increase, which is in line with Wang Xueshi's new law.

He who enriches his family capitalizes the country, whoever enriches his country capitalizes the world, and whoever wants to enrich the world capitalizes the world. Bachelor Sima would never dare to say this sentence, because it requires extraordinary wisdom. "

Wang Anshi looked at Zhang Fei, "You don't mean hospitals and colleges, do you?"

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then laughed aloud and said, "I really can't hide anything from Xueshi Wang."

Wang Anshi hehe said: "After dealing with you so many times, if you don't learn some lessons, it will be a waste of studying for so many years. Every word you say, there is a purpose behind it. "

Speaking of this, he couldn't help sighing, "Actually, I also understand the truth, but God will not give me such a long time."

Zhang Fei asked: "Why?"

Wang Anshi said: "Because there are wars in the west, if we can't improve the finances in time, it will be disadvantageous to the war."

Yes! He and the emperor made reforms, the purpose of which was to use troops abroad. Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I understand, but in fact, I just want to say that the construction of hospitals and colleges is not just as simple as arranging those post-recruitment officials, but to encourage them to make money, to make money by their ability, and this ability may play an important role in the future."

"Of course I will take this seriously."

Wang Anshi nodded, suddenly changed his expression, and said: "But at present, salt notes and salt debts seem to be more able to improve the country's finances."

It was only then that Zhang Fei suddenly realized that his misfortune was all acting out, and his emotions were aimed at the salt debt and salt banknotes, and said: "Wang Xueshi wants to issue salt bonds and salt banknotes on Jingdong East Road? "

Wang Anshi nodded, and immediately said in high spirits: "There is sea salt in the local area. As long as the imperial court controls the sea salt, it can use it to issue salt bonds and salt notes."

Wang Anshi's propositions and ideas are actually based on the real economy, which is to develop technology, but if you look closely at his new laws and regulations, almost all of them focus on finance, whether it is the equalization method, the young crop method, or the market exchange method , In fact, all adjustments are made on the financial side.

He wants to complete the KPI in a short time, because it is impossible for him to put the new law on the development of technology.

Yes! Who can resist the allure of paper money. Zhang Fei thought for a while, and said, "Yes, it is possible, but the local salt administration must be rectified before the salt banknotes and salt debts can be issued."

In fact, how can he not know that banknotes are a Pandora's box, but he still has to open this Pandora's box, because he also has to complete the KPI, and this is the only way to increase wealth in the short term.

Fortunately, there is a shortage of currency in the Song Dynasty, so it is actually beneficial to the country and the people, but in the long run, this must be a huge hidden danger, but Zhang Fei can only focus on the present.

Therefore, he can understand Wang Anshi's plan.

Wang Anshi said: "I will arrange for people to rectify the local salt administration, but you also have to be prepared for the public security and law enforcement, as well as the charitable foundation."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I see."

Hezhong Mansion's finances are really impressive, and they won't offend anyone. Facts have also proved that collecting money with salt money is far better than the method of young crops. Wang Anshi is not stupid, so why not use it.

Of course, he also carefully studied the success of Guohezhong Mansion. It was indeed based on the public security law.

Actually, he was not opposed to the Public Prosecution Law at all, and he also hoped that the Public Procuratorate Law could rectify the administration of officials for him, but in matters such as party disputes, a little flame can directly burn the entire forest.

At the beginning, he was also forced to do that.

Wang Anshi needs Zhang Fei's support more than the Public Prosecution Law. If the Public Prosecution Law is in Fan Chunren's hands, the money will never be issued.

After talking with Wang Anshi, Zhang Fei entered the imperial court and reported to the emperor.

“.At that time, the Ma Family and the Charity Foundation will transfer the money directly to the Ma Family Pawn Shop, and then transfer the money to the internal treasury through the Tax Department.”

Zhang Fei said with a little embarrassment: "From this transaction, you can earn 10,000 guan, but after deducting the cost paid by the tax department for this matter, it may not be profitable."

Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's fine if you don't make any money. If you take out this sum of money, I think that there will be a lot of losses in all likelihood. After all, those debts are all debts." Bad debts, you have done a very good job."

Zhang Fei said: "Of course I dare not let the officials lose money."

Zhao Xu nodded with a smile, implying that he would maintain this philosophy. Since he was born, he heard about the financial crisis every day, and Emperor Shenzong took money very seriously, but then he said with emotion: "However, from the current situation See, the ultimate way to improve finances is to go back to tradition, lay off officials and soldiers, and reorganize taxes.”

He reads the report every day, and it is not difficult to find that the current main financial growth, the Department of Disarmament and Taxation has made great contributions, which is what Fan Zhongyan advocated back then.

It can be seen that Wang Anshi's concerns are not mediocrity. The emperor still regards KPI, and the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is only second.

Zhang Fei immediately said: "That's not the case. The New Deal and judicial reforms are the real achievements. It needs to be done with the help of the New Deal. The key point is that it is precisely because of their struggle that the officials are able to use the hidden dragon."

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "Of course, I understand that I will continue to support the New Deal, but the question is how long I can hide. This failure will inevitably shake many officials to continue to support the New Deal."

The officials on Jingdong East Road fully supported the Green Crop Law, but they didn't get the credit they wanted. On the contrary, they almost lost their official positions. This will definitely affect their support for the new law.

On the contrary, the conservatives are still very united.

This may tip the balance between the two.

Zhang Fei said: "I think Xueshi Wang should also be aware of this. He will definitely find a way to regain his strength. As far as the officials are concerned, it will be beneficial and harmless for the officials to stay a little longer."

Zhao Xu glanced at Zhang Fei, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

Yes, the biggest weakness of this reform is the monarch. The monarch does not have a plan for hundreds of years, and must have immediate results.

Therefore, any reform must use Legalist thinking, which is the most efficient.

Wang Anshi must be right to worry.

But in fact, for Wang Anshi, he still has plenty of time, because after all, the finances are growing. Of course, Zhao Xu will not take the initiative to interrupt this momentum. Regardless of whether your new policies are useful or not, the situation is positive anyway. development direction.

On the contrary, it is necessary to make changes.

Qingzhou.

Fan Chunren and Qian Yi were ecstatic after receiving the court's order, and they highly praised this debt restructuring.

Because this is almost exactly the same as their proposition, maybe even a little more ruthless.

Fan Chunren just thinks that officials should be laid off and expenses should be saved. Otherwise, the people must be exploited. This is the best solution and the only solution.

Imperial Court.

"Why are there so many lawsuits?"

Qian Wei was dumbfounded when he saw Fan Chunren entering the house again with a pile of lawsuits, didn't he say a truce?

The other party should stop making trouble.

Fan Chunren said: "No, this is a previous lawsuit, but our procuratorate is planning to adjust these lawsuits because we discovered some new evidence."

Qian Wei looked at Fan Chunren, "Is that true? Chunren, this public security law does not tolerate nonsense."

Fan Chunren said truthfully: "In the past, we were also sympathetic to the government's situation. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, we more or less considered the compensation for the government. Now we just litigate as usual, impartial."

Qian Yi said: "You are not giving them a way to survive, forcing them to restructure their debts."

Fan Chunren also did not deny: "The officials finally let go and allowed Qingzhou to carry out debt restructuring. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We must use this to lay off more officials and improve Qingzhou's finances. This law is used in other state capitals.

However, I did not avenge my personal revenge publicly. Every lawsuit is solid evidence and has specific reasons, and it is completely in accordance with Zhang San's precedent. "

Qian Yi nodded and said, "It doesn't matter what you say, I will examine it carefully."

Fan Chunren clasped his hands and said, "If there is a mistake, Chunren is willing to take all the responsibilities."

Although the compensation standards pursued in the previous and subsequent lawsuits are different, Fan Chunren has a clear conscience, because his purpose is the same, that is, to serve the country and the people.

Moreover, he did not say to change the law, because as far as the judiciary is concerned, the law is only fixed within a certain range for debt litigation, and it does not give a certain exact number, which is more or less .

There was no precedent for debt restructuring before, so Fan Chunren naturally wanted to prevent the government from collapsing. This claim must be lighter.

On the contrary, those Qingzhou officials kept adding debts to the government at that time, in order to force their procuratorate to make concessions.

Indeed!

At that time, Fan Chunren was forced to feel very uncomfortable. He really didn't dare to judge randomly if the court didn't give a bill. How could he have imagined that the government could go bankrupt and reorganize.

Now that Feng Shui is taking turns, Fan Chunren no longer has to worry about the future, then one is one, two is two, this is all you asked for.

Just at this time, an official notified that Wang Juqing, the transshipment envoy, asked to see him.

Qian Wei and Fan Chunren looked at each other tacitly, knowing the purpose of Wang Juqing's trip very well.

Sure enough, upon seeing the two, Wang Juqing went straight to the point and said: "After discussions between our Transit Department and the government office, we are willing to compensate those soldiers and civil servants, but I still hope that the two of you can put the overall situation first and don't make a fuss." The state of debt restructuring is not conducive to national stability.

I have also studied Judge Zhang’s case in Hezhong Mansion. One of the ways is to reach a settlement in private. Only the two of you agreed. A respite for the government. "

Fan Chunren said resolutely: "You can reconcile, but we must determine the amount of compensation required by the government after our procuratorate's lawsuit is over, and then we will discuss with the three parties to see how the government should pay compensation."

Wang Juqing frowned and said: "You are deliberately trying to force the government to restructure its debts, which is really public revenge."

Fan Chunren said: "I just want everyone to get a fair and fair trial. If you are allowed to reconcile with those soldiers and officials, it must be unfair, because you can force those soldiers, officials Officials mitigate the claims, and even dismiss the lawsuit.”

Wang Juqing said: "If we want to do this, we can force them to withdraw the lawsuit now, and the debt restructuring is of no benefit to them."

Fan Chunren smiled and said: "It seems that the transfer envoys don't know much about our procuratorate. They withdrew the lawsuit. We can still investigate, but what we investigate is no longer the debt relationship between you, but why the government would Are so many debts owed, are they spent in other places, will there be corruption, and even, why do they all come to the procuratorate to file lawsuits."

Wang Juqing was taken aback for a moment, and then fell silent.

Fan Chunren smiled again: "Regarding this case, we still have to thank your government for your cooperation and providing us with so much evidence."

To put it simply, giving you a debt restructuring is all tolerance for you. If you really want to investigate, hehe.

Wang Juqing couldn't help frowning and said, "Fan Yaofu, you are also from a family of officials and eunuchs, how does this benefit you?"

Fan Chunren immediately reprimanded: "Fan has studied hard and passed the rank, not through the grace of his family. Even if it is debt restructuring, I, Fan Chunren, must be the one left behind."

Since ancient times, Confucian literati have been very modest, at least on the surface, with the exception of the Northern Song Dynasty. Many literati in the Northern Song Dynasty were quite conceited.

Of course, this is actually due to the fact that "the monarch and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together", and power determines your confidence in speaking.

On the contrary, the generals of the Song Dynasty were the most modest since ancient times.

"Farewell!"

Wang Juqing got up and bowed his hands, then turned and went out, with a slight smile on his lips.

Qian Wei couldn't help joking: "Chunren, we still have to separate, otherwise, this person will be offended."

But Fan Chunren said: "Separation will only offend more people."

Qian Yi stroked his beard and laughed.

Qian Wei is known as the iron liver censor, and he is not afraid of the powerful, and Fan Chunren is not too lenient. The two of them are in the public prosecutor's office. Even if Wang Anshi breaks the law, they dare to arrest him.
