Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 659: East and west bloom

Chapter 659 East and west blossom

Actually, for those ministers of the fourth grade or above, they should have already entered the holiday at this time. In fact, the previous debt restructuring was too disturbing, which caused everyone to have no intention of taking a vacation, because their juniors may be Jilu officials. If there is no agreement, this year will be over.

However, this result is really different from the death they expected.

The culprit of all this is Naerbi Zhangsan.

Just know!

I knew that once this kid came back, nothing good would happen.

Do you still want to transfer back to the capital?

Dream it!

Most ministers said that the Hezhong Mansion is very important, but now there are all young officials there, and even most of the presiding judges, assistant judges, and prosecutors are young people who have never even participated in scientific research. How to be able to take on the heavy responsibility, Zhang Fei must return to the Hezhong Mansion to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible, so as to avoid chaos, the Northwest is very important.

Our capital is peaceful and prosperous, so Zhang San doesn't need to worry about it.

It seems that Zhang San is qualified to take the scientific examination.

At the same time, the relevant government offices are all on holiday. Let's talk about things next year, and let you, Zhang San, experience the efficiency of my Da Song deeply.

This made Zhao Xu and Fu Bi very helpless!

We can only talk about it next year.

Because of this personnel arrangement, even if the emperor wants to go through the back door, he can only confirm that Zhang Fei will be transferred back, but he still needs to go through the formalities.

This rule cannot be broken.

What's more, the law of the rule of law has always emphasized rules.

But for them, this year is still difficult, everyone is uneasy, because next year Jingdong East Road will undergo great changes, once successful, it may affect the capital, everyone is still racking their brains Want to deal with it.

See if there is any other way to prevent Qingzhou's debt restructuring.

Although Wang Anshi's career law has won the support of many people, it is only a bottom-line policy. The best policy is to prevent this case from finally being implemented.

Because so far, this case has not officially become law, and the final decision must be made based on the specific situation in Qingzhou.

On the contrary, Zhang Fei is very relaxed and comfortable. Since his position has not been arranged yet, he does not have to go to work in the first year. He thinks that he should also take a long vacation. He has been in Hezhong Mansion for more than two years, and he has not taken any vacation. Although he is very young , but it can't be manipulated like this.

It's a pity that two women in the family became pregnant at the same time, so they can't do much on vacation.

In the winter, the only right to exercise has been deprived, which is uncomfortable.

This is the consequence of rain and dew.

Winter goes to spring!

With the end of the Shangyuan Festival, it is also officially announced that the annual leave of officials is over.

And the most lively officialdom in the whole country this year is really none other than the Qingzhou officialdom. Last year they actually lay down and almost ignored everything in order to fight.

Are you going to reorganize?

Then go play on your own.

But they found that due to the existence of the police station, the chaos they had imagined did not appear. Construction Tax Division.

As a result, the tax department officially opened during the annual holiday, which really caught everyone off guard. How can a government office open during the Chinese New Year? If you are so dedicated, we can't survive.

My Da Song is the least advocating rolling, everyone should lie flat.

You are breaking the rules!

The explanation from the tax department is very simple. Our tax department only officially takes annual leave when we distribute bonuses. For us, the Chinese New Year is the busiest time.

Actually, it's not the tax department's fault. The ghost tax police on Jingdong East Road are already very hungry, and their targets are already familiar, just waiting to be slaughtered.

The routine is still the same, that is, apply for it with the title deed.

Whether love comes or not.

However, the tax law has not changed for the time being. After all, the summer tax was collected last year, and it is still collected according to the autumn tax standard, but it includes the exemption tax.

Because the exemption law has been fully implemented on Jingdong East Road this year.

This is actually one of the reasons for the riots in other states and counties on Jingdong East Road. There are too many debts and taxes.

Public security and tax collection are all covered by the government office, so even if your government office is closed, there will be no legislative chaos.

However, with the introduction of the business law to Qingzhou, the officials in Qingzhou also understand very well that this debt restructuring may be inevitable, at least for now, it cannot be stopped, so they have to act quickly, this dead Friends of Taoism are immortal and poor.

After the year, the officials in Qingzhou are actively working in unison.

In the end, some officials have to be left to maintain the operation of the government. These officials depend on their personal abilities.

But no matter how active they are, they can't keep up with the public security law. There was no holiday for the entire public security law last year, and they have been dealing with those lawsuits.

Imperial Court.

"Wang Zhuanyun, with regard to the lawsuits related to the government last year, our imperial court has tried all of them, and we have also sent people to calculate carefully. After the conversion, the Qingzhou government needs to pay a total of 76,437 guan. "

Speaking of this, Qian Wei paused for a moment, "If according to President Zhang's judgment in Hezhong Mansion, the government will still have to compensate the corresponding interest, but also according to another case of President Zhang, if the government is really unable to pay back, the corresponding interest can be exempted." interest."

Wang Juqing heheed twice, "I understand now, you are trying to force us to restructure our debts."

Qian Wei said: "The president of the judge is only making a judgment according to the law. If the government is not satisfied with this, it can appeal, and the imperial court can also adopt a public trial method."

In fact, most of the lawsuits have not been heard publicly, but that is because the government has provided too much evidence, and they have previously admitted to underpaying wages and arrears of military pay.

Now that the trial is open, isn't it a public embarrassment.

Wang Juqing waved his hand and said: "No need. Anyway, the imperial court has issued an order, so we can only restructure the debt."

The local finances are already very difficult. There is no surplus. The taxes here have not been collected, and the people are not allowed to continue to exploit the people. Basically, all incomes have been cut off. More than 70,000 yuan is enough to crush Qingzhou's current finances. .

Fan Chunren on the side felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it, and said: "The transshipment makes this statement wrong. Could it be that if the imperial court does not issue an order, can you bend the law for personal gain?"

Wang Juqing just smiled slightly, then stood up, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

This is actually a process. Everyone knows in their hearts that it is clear that Qingzhou is required to restructure its debts, reduce officials, and save expenses.

After negotiating with Wang Juqing, the imperial court officially announced the verdict. Seventy percent of those who came to sue would win the case, and some of them still took advantage of troubled waters. Each case has to be tried for half a year. There are thousands of people here, and each case can be clarified.

Of course, this is also thanks to the "cooperation" of the government.

Immediately, Ouyang Xiu announced that the government of Qingzhou had too much debt and could not afford it financially, so it could only carry out debt restructuring.

At the same time, he also announced that he would resign from the post of prefect of Qingzhou, and he would also report to the emperor, requesting the imperial court to take back the favor he had given to his four sons, and let them all go to the college to apply for jobs, in order to support the imperial court just promulgated business law.

This Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Qian Wei, Fan Chunren and others are all the same people, but they are very, very clean and honest.

Ouyang Xiu took the lead in doing this, only a small number of officials admired him, and it was not a big deal for him to resign, because he had been in office for four years, and he had resigned almost every year. Opportunity.

However, he asked to take back all the official positions of his sons, and asked them to go to the academy to apply for employment under his father's order, which is very admirable.

But most of the officials are gnashing their teeth with hatred. Is there anyone who takes the lead like you? No wonder you old man can't get along in court.

However, hatred turned to hatred, and they gradually realized that the general situation was over and they could not turn back.

At this point, a debt restructuring that has attracted the attention of the whole country is officially underway in Qingzhou.

Although it was Ouyang Xiu who made the announcement, in fact it was operated by the Transshipment Department, and Wang Juqing was in full charge of it.

Actually, Wang Juqing didn't know how to restructure his debts, but Wang Anshi had written him a long time ago. It was very simple, that is, first calculate the annual income, and see how much he can leave under the condition that everyone pays a full amount of salary. people.

Wang Juqing had already made it clear that 90% of the jobs would be cut.

Thinking about this amount, it is actually very scary. There is a 90% gap. Where will the money come from?

That's why, if there is a way to exploit the people over there, the military pay must be reduced here.

The principle of laying off officials is also very simple. Officials in important government offices will be kept, and all the rest will be laid off. The main thing is to lay off officials.

This is also one of Wang Anshi's new laws.

The superficial reason is, of course, that the business law only applies to officials, not officials, but in fact it is because the core of managing the state capital is still those officials, not officials. When you take office, you don't seek meritorious service, but seek no faults.

The plate of officials cannot be moved rashly, but can only be slowly replaced and rectified.

So some of the remaining officials will be included in the Public Security Bureau and Taxation Department.

At this time, a very interesting phenomenon happened, that is, officials who were desperately defaming the public security law last year began to sing praises for the public security law.

Although the Enterprise Law has been promulgated, many officials, especially those in office, are still unwilling to hand over their salaries to these enterprise bureaus.

God knows if these bureaucracies can make money.

The only one left is the Public Security Bureau, which is a big recruiter, and it also belongs to the traditional government office. Although the tax department also recruits people, everyone is unwilling to go. This tax department is actually an official office, not an official office. The chiefs are all officials birth.

Currently, there is a shortage of personnel in the entire public security department.

After all, Sima Guang will only arrange for chief prosecutors and chief judges, and the bottom is basically blank.

This person had to bow his head under the eaves. Many low-level officials immediately turned around and made remarks in support of the public security law.

However, the public security law adopts an employment system, and Zhang Fei has also laid the foundation in Hezhong Mansion, that is, he must pass the judicial examination before he can enter.

It is also very difficult to enter the public prosecutor's office.

At the same time, Qizhou next door is also carrying out a vigorous campaign for debt claims.

The situation here is exactly the opposite of Qingzhou, where the government seeks compensation from the people.

Sima Guang arranged for Wang Anshi's younger brother Wang Anguo to serve as the presiding judge of Qizhou, and Su Shi as the chief prosecutor.

Although Sima Guang was on the same level as Wang Anshi, he still trusted Wang Anguo very much, and at the same time, he also recognized Wang Anguo's attainments in law studies.

Wang Anguo has been in Qizhou all the time, while Su Shi rushed to Qizhou non-stop after the snow melted.

At this time, Su Shi is still ambitious. He has been wandering in Yangzhou for three years. Although he looks like a resentful woman in the capital, but when he was in Yangzhou, he made many confidante friends and lived happily. It is also quite moisturizing.

But he is still eager to flex his muscles, and he is full of energy now.

"It's exactly as I expected!"

As soon as Su Shi put the file on the table, he couldn't help smiling complacently, and said to Wang Anguo: "Facts speak louder than words. If I were Brother Ling, I might stay ashamed in the court."

Although Wang Anguo and Wang Anshi have very different political philosophies, there is still a sense of brotherhood. He said with a smile: "I know today why Ziyou was able to rise to the top in the Hezhong Mansion. , and you, Su Zizhan, can only visit brothels in Yangzhou, without even an official office."

Is this hurdle difficult to pass?

Su Shi cursed Zhang Fei again. It was this guy who said at the Legislative Assembly that he didn't even have an official office, saying: "I was deceived by an adulterer."

Wang Anguo said: "This turmoil is not caused by my brother."

Speaking, he took out another official document, "Look, this is the achievement of the Green Crop Law in Zhangqiu County. No one in Zhangqiu County has filed a complaint, everyone praises it, and the financial revenue has also been obtained. Significant growth."

Su Shi took it over and took a look. After seeing it, his expression was a little embarrassed.

Actually, Wang Anguo was ordered to come to Jingdong East Road to observe the results of the implementation of the Youth Law. There are indeed many problems, but it depends on the people.

Wang Anguo said again: "It can be seen from this that the Young Crop Law still has its positive side. The key lies in the executor. My brother's fault is that it is too radical, and he hastily implemented it without careful arrangements. The preparation is not enough So much so that it almost caused a catastrophe. Now that we are under the supervision of the Public Security Bureau, if we do a good job, then the Youth Law will also play its due role.”

After finishing speaking, he immediately stopped Su Shi, "Don't say that I speak for my brother, let's wait and see."

Su Shi shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't think so. In fact, I have already thought about this point. This is why I am willing to come to the Procuratorate."

Just at this time, Su Shi's little book boy appeared in front of the door, "Sir, there is a man named Hong Qi asking to see you outside."

Su Shi hurriedly said: "Please invite him in."

Wang Anguo had never heard of this person before, so he thought he was Su Shi's friend, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Since you have a friend visiting, I will take my leave first."

Su Shi hurriedly said: "They are not friends, but people from charitable foundations. They come here to buy debts, and we need guarantee from the public security department."

Of course Wang Anguo knew about this, he nodded slightly, and sat back down again.

After a while, I saw a boy and a half come in, cupped his hands and said: "Boy, Hong Qi, has met Prosecutor Su."

Su Shi said again: "This is the chief judge of Qizhou Wang"

"Boy, Hong Qi, has met Chief Judge Wang." Hong Qi saluted again.

Wang Anguo was dumbfounded, how could this be a baby?

Su Shi laughed and said: "Presiding Judge Wang, don't look at his young age. His family's Hong Wan Gambling House is already the number one gambling house in Tokyo. The money donated every year is more than our annual salary."

Hong Qi's face was flushed with an awkward smile.

It is unimaginable that at this moment, the most leisurely person is actually the instigator of all this——Zhang San.

It was only in the morning, and there was a sputtering sound in Zhang's house.

I saw Zhang Fei, Gao Wenyin, Xu Zhiqian, and Mu Zhen sitting in the courtyard, playing mahjong with the spring breeze blowing, it was really pleasant.

Mu Zhen and Gao Wenyin were very focused, but Xu Zhiqian was absent-minded, sneaking glances at Zhang Fei from time to time, and pursed her mouth.

Zhang Fei really couldn't bear her gaze, "Zhiqian, what do you want?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "I'm just fighting for you. If you come back after making great contributions, it's fine if the imperial court doesn't express it. If you let you stay at home, are you afraid of losing people's hearts?"

Mu Zhen also felt that what Xu Zhiqian said made sense, and said, "That's right! It's been more than a month since the beginning of the new year, why don't you talk to the officials."

"That's not okay."

Zhang Fei said arrogantly: "This is so embarrassing. It seems that I begged to go to the procuratorate. When I became an official, I was forced to do so. If I don't go, I won't go. I will go back to the lawyer's office as a pen. Relaxed and more comfortable."

"Go back to be an Er pen?" Mu Zhen was terrified, "Don't be arrogant."

Zhang Fei couldn't laugh or cry: "Sister-in-law, don't think too much, I just want to take a vacation for myself, and now I have to deal with many matters in the lawyer's office, so I don't rush to the procuratorate."

While he was talking, he suddenly heard Niu Beiqing say at the door: "Mr. En is back."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Zun walked in with a solemn expression.

"Daddy."

"Father-in-law."

"Well, go back to your room first, I have something to tell Zhang San."

"Yes."

Mu Zhen and Gao Wenyin immediately avoided, but Xu Zhiqian didn't want to leave, so she took a step forward and took it back.

Xu Zun didn't care about her, after all, she was Zhang Fei's master bookkeeper, so he said to Zhang Fei: "Something happened."

Zhang Fei asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

Xu Zundao: "It's a good thing. Early this morning, a great victory came from the northwest. Wang Shao led the Tongyuan Army and won a great victory at Xihe. Yuli."

"Really?"

Xu Zhiqian said excitedly.

Zhang Fei asked, "Why are you so excited?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "Don't you know that Xihe was originally my old land in the Central Plains. Since the chaos at the end of Tang Dynasty, I have been outside. This is a great achievement!"

"Really?" Zhang Fei scratched his head, then asked Xu Zun, "But what does this have to do with me?"

He has never been involved in military operations. He has a small pen and can't even understand a map. Let him plan this matter. It's better to put the capital directly in Qiongzhou.

Zhao Xu never talked about these things with him.

Xu Zundao: "Originally, it had nothing to do with you, but in Wang Shao's good news, he named you and asked you to go there immediately to build the public security law."

"Huh?"

Zhang Fei opened his eyes wide, "Why?"

Xu Zhiqian was overjoyed, but she couldn't help touching her belly. The child came at an inappropriate time, which added to his worries.

Xu Zundao: "I don't know the details. It seems that at the end of last year, Wang Shao had taken Hezhou, but due to lack of management, the local Qiang people rebelled, and now they have been defeated by our army.

In addition, Wang Shao also believed that the land of Xihe, bordering Tubo and Xixia, was an important point of trade. If it could be managed well, local taxes and fees could be collected to maintain local army supplies, thereby reducing the burden on Shaanxi Road. And he believes that if you want to complete this step, the only way is the public prosecutor's law, and you need to be in charge in person. "

After hearing this, Zhang Fei frowned. Could it be that he pretended too much at the beginning and accepted a little fanboy? Don't mess with me!

But Xu Zhiqian said: "Zhang San, this is a great opportunity for you to make contributions. Don't worry, Sister Gao and I will take care of our family."

She is very excited now, with tears in her eyes. On the one hand, she has finally regained the old land, and on the other hand, Zhang San has the opportunity to make contributions.

What a double blessing.

Zhang Fei glanced at her, saw her gently stroking her abdomen with one hand, and said, "Don't worry, I don't care about you two pregnant women in any choice I make. Although I have concerns, I will definitely take the overall situation into consideration." The most important thing is that you don't have any burden."

Xu Zhiqian's heart warmed up, "It's good if you know." As she spoke, she was stunned for a while, "That is to say, you... you don't plan to go?"

Zhang Fei nodded.

Xu Zhiqian asked in surprise, "Why?"

Zhang Fei said: "Don't fight unprepared battles, the public security law is not a panacea, just use it. There are so many obstacles in the construction of the public security law in the Taiping state capital, let alone in the war-torn land.

Besides, envoy Wang Xuan is in such a hurry to let me go, it must be that the situation there is not very good, so I should be more cautious. "

Xu Zhiqian nodded lightly, "That's true, we still have to prepare enough before we go."

Xu Zundao: "Scholar Sima and Duke Wen may not support you to go, let alone support the police to go."

Zhang Fei asked in surprise, "Why is this?"

Xu Zunfu sighed: "It's a long story. You were not in the capital at the time, so you didn't know about it. Wang Shaoxi's strategy of opening the river was promoted by Wang Jiefu with all his strength. At that time, Duke Wen and the others strongly opposed it, but who I didn't expect Wang Shao to succeed so quickly and recover so much land. You know what they will think at this time. However, most people in the court support letting you go. They don't think you can solve the problem, but no one wants you Stay in the capital."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "So there is still such a relationship here."

This is a very fatal issue in party struggle. I object to your sending troops, no matter whether I am right or not, but you won a big victory, and this face is very embarrassing. Maybe in the end, you can only say that you won and you are great, but we It doesn't matter, so as not to say that we take advantage of you.

This kind of thing has been happening all the time in ancient and modern China and abroad, and there is basically no solution.

Zhang Fei is also used to it!

Xu Zundao: "But the official family and Wang Jiefu will definitely let you go, because this great victory is of great significance to the official family, and we must ensure that no mistakes are allowed, otherwise, this will severely damage the official family prestige.”

His tone was not so firm, but reserved.

There is a struggle between the two parties. If you get involved rashly, you may be crushed. Xu Zun hopes that Zhang Fei can seriously consider it.

This move, how should I go.

"There is no room for loss."

Zhang Fei frowned, as if thinking of something.

Just as he was talking, Zhao Xu's people had already arrived, and Xuan Zhangfei immediately entered the palace.

It's really fast! Zhang Fei couldn't help muttering.

Xu Zhiqian asked: "What are you going to do?"

Zhang Fei said: "Even if we want to go, it will definitely not be now. This time and time is different from the last time we went to Hezhong Mansion. If we go this time, we must strive for victory. Remote control may be more suitable for the time being."
