Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 771: Unstoppable

At this moment, it is no exaggeration to say that the entire Gyeonggi Province is in a state of national deliberation.

Because as they studied the "Provisional Law", they gradually discovered that this "Provisional Law" has many special features.

It’s not that the content subverts everyone’s understanding. If it were just that, it would definitely not pass the Legislative Council.

Because currently those who control the Legislative Council are scholar-bureaucrats.

The scholar-bureaucrats must still follow Confucianism, and the entire "Provisional Law" is still based on Confucian ethics.

For example, filial piety is everywhere, and another example is maintaining the authority of the husband.

This does not mean that Zhang Fei came with new doctrines and broke Confucian values. The concept of legal system and Confucianism are not contradictory. Zhang Fei took the relationship between husband and wife in class as an example, but did not emphasize the equality of husband and wife. He only emphasized that his wife also had the right to defend her legitimate rights and interests, and did not break that boundary.

The wife still has to abide by women's ethics, but if the husband abuses his wife, the wife can sue the official and file a lawsuit to safeguard her legitimate rights and interests.

But the key is that all the rights and interests of all parties are spelled out, and this is the most special thing about the entire "Provisional Law."

The original ancient legal principle is that "the punishment is unpredictable, and the power is unpredictable." However, this principle obviously does not apply to the public security organs and law. Therefore, in most regulations of this "Provisional Law", It is written very clearly, especially the division of rights and interests.

This makes many powerful people feel at a loss what to do.

If you don’t write it clearly, at the critical moment, you will be competing with who has the bigger fist, but you must write it clearly, and everyone must act according to the rules.

This makes them more constrained.

But then again, many of these regulations are written based on precedents and decrees, such as work-related injury cases, demolition subsidies, etc.

This all exists, Zhang Fei did not come up with it. Could it be that if it is written into the law, the powerful will be afraid?

Of course not.

Without the public security system, this "Interim Law" would not have caused such a big response. The key lies in execution.

In the past, laws that harmed the interests of the powerful were often promulgated, but they were often not implemented, including the emperor's edicts. But now, everyone knows that once it is promulgated, it will be implemented in this way.

Some people have calculated that the current number of police officers in various states and counties is about ten times that of the original yamen and patrol positions, and in some places it is even twenty times.

This is what worries everyone the most. The other party really has the strength to enforce the law strictly.

But they can't stop it at the moment, so we have to ask clearly. No one wants to be the one who stands out. At least smart people will not go head-to-head with the public prosecutor and the law on this topic.

Fu Bi, Su Shi, and Fan Chunren are the favorites in everyone's eyes. Everyone always tries their best to get close to them, and then ask according to the regulations of the "Provisional Law" whether what I did is illegal, then Is it okay to do.

Not to mention the bookstore, the long-term employment fee has soared to three or four times.

In the past, those scholar-officials really looked down on these tea-eaters and Erbi, but now they can only gradually accept this reality.

However, the judicial official was busy dealing with everyone's inquiries and advice, while the administrative official was silently making a fortune.

Last year’s final tax revenue is finally out.

Xue Xiang also reported to Zhao Xu immediately.

"Your Majesty, based on last year's tax revenue, including tax coins, the tax revenue was only about 20% less than the previous year. However, if tax coins are not included, the imperial court will have embezzled this year's money in advance. The financial resources of Gyeonggi Province are about 2 million yuan."

This tax coin is spent and collected again. If the tax coin is a one-time use, it means that the national treasury has spent so much money, but this year's finance has been used in advance.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly and then asked: "Whether it is success or failure, the third envoy will tell me carefully."

Xue Xiang asked: "It is a relatively big success. In the Gyeonggi area alone, although the court spent two million yuan, it has built more than 100 police stations, more than 20 prisons, and repaired rivers and embankments. More than a hundred canals were opened.

These are meant to be spent, but now they not only help the people survive the famine, but also promote this year's harvest and save nearly 100,000 guan in this year's expenditure. ”

Zhao Xu asked curiously: "How did you save these 100,000 yuan?"

Xue Xiangdao: "Because the current food prices and commodity prices have become cheaper, the imperial court will save a lot of money by purchasing these goods. Moreover, if all purchases are made with banknotes, not counting the value of the banknotes themselves, they can also provide benefits to the imperial court. Earn nearly 200,000 yuan, because this can not only save the court's losses, but also promote the growth of commercial taxes."

Zhao Xu nodded and asked again: "So as long as paper money is issued, the finance will be restored immediately?"

Xue Xiangdao: "It's not just recovery, it can also grow a lot. In addition, the accounts of Jingdong East Road have been sent over. After combining it with the finance of Gyeonggi Province, I found a surprise, that is, we have Expenditures were reduced by nearly half a million dollars."

Zhao Xu was shocked and said: "Is this because of the Business Law?"

Xue Xiang said hurriedly: "The business method is only second, this is all because of your Majesty's foresight."

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment and said, "What does this have to do with me?"

Xue Xiangdao: "Because His Majesty has turned some of the Imperial Guards in Gyeonggi and all the Imperial Guards on Jingdong East Road into royal police. In the past, the Imperial Guards were concentrated in one or several places, and each county had to transport food and grass there. The losses were very high. It’s amazing, but now the imperial army has been reduced to pieces and turned into royal police scattered in various counties, which can collect food locally. Among them, the loss on Jingdong East Road has been reduced by nearly 90%, and the loss in Gyeonggi has also been reduced a lot."

After all, the transportation conditions in ancient times were very harsh, and the road losses were very alarming. Why was Wang Shao desperately trying to find a way to cultivate land in the Xihe area? Even if I bought food at twice the price locally, I could still contribute to the court. Save lots and lots of money.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but gasp. These three are really well-deserved. With a little arrangement, they can save so much money, but it is really outrageous. But I immediately felt complacent. This was all my wise decision.

Xue Xiang glanced at Zhao Xu secretly and couldn't help but feel proud that he was doing the right job of flattering him.

Zhao Xu said again: "Speaking of this matter, I have decided to transform some of the Hebei Forbidden Army into the Royal Police. What do you think?"

Xue Xiang immediately said: "I very much agree. Last year, the finances of the disaster-stricken areas, but Hebei's finances were still not good. This is because the local people have to support the northern Xinjiang defense line all year round, and at the same time they suffered from floods, and there was great prosperity before. The people's strength has been exhausted due to labor, and we must find ways to restore Hebei's people's strength as soon as possible.

Our government gives so many coins to the Liao Kingdom every year. If we have to spend so much military expenditure, then why do we give so many coins? ”

Zhao Xu frowned and sighed: "Even so, you must be on guard against others."

Xue Xiangdao: "Your Majesty has misunderstood what I mean. What I want to say is that the Northern Dynasty also values ​​these coins very much, and they will not easily tear up the alliance.

Therefore, His Majesty can use the Royal Police to build a line of defense in Hebei and maintain law and order in various places. If the Northerners really invade from the south, the Royal Police can immediately form a force to resist the Northerners.

At the same time, we must make use of good old coins. If they invade once, we will use this as an excuse to negotiate with them and let the northerners weigh the pros and cons.

The key point is that the people's power in Hebei is simply not enough to resist the Northerners. Your Majesty's arrangement will give you a better chance. ”

This time, disaster relief has been very successful in various places, but Hebei has not shown any improvement. This is because of previous natural and man-made disasters, which made Hebei a mess and reduced its population a lot.

The defense of northern Xinjiang mainly relies on Hebei. In this case, you have no choice but to fight. Therefore, Xue Xiang believes that restoring the people's power in Hebei is the top priority.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile and said, "You and I thought about it together."

Asked again: "By the way! When do you plan to issue banknotes?"

Xue Xiangdao: "Xiang Wang believes that it will take some time to publicize it first, but your Majesty can rest assured that as long as the banknotes are successfully issued, the financial problem will be solved."

Genuine bookstore.

"Xueshi Wang's article is really great!"

"Stop it!"

Wang Anshi raised his hand and said, "Stop flattering me. You don't have the talent. Just say it, okay?"

Zhang Fei said angrily: "I'm ready to flatter him, of course I can do it! But I still have to say, it's such a wonderful thing for Wang Xueshi to be able to write such a popular article so fluently."

Wang Anshi smiled nonchalantly and said: "But now everyone is discussing the law. Is this a good time to publicize it?"

Zhang Fei said: "There is a saying that if people don't have immediate worries, they must have long-term worries. In other words, if people have immediate worries, they must have no long-term worries. This method is about long-term worries, and money is about near-term worries. Once this article is published, it will definitely Change the direction of public opinion."

Seeing that he was full of confidence, Wang Anshi was relieved and said: "Now Xue Xiang plans to let the Third Division issue banknotes. What do you think the Majia Jiekupu should do?"

This old man is really "wholeheartedly serves the country"! How could Zhang Fei not know what Wang Anshi was planning, so he said quietly: "Then it depends on what Bachelor Wang is planning?"

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

Zhang Fei said: "If Wang Xueshi just wants to make a lot of money for the government through banknotes, Majia Jiekupu is actually unnecessary, but if Wang Xueshi wants to revitalize commerce by issuing coins, thereby improving business If taxes are to be maintained in a steady stream, then we must rely on the Ma family to solve the problem of Kupu."

Wang Anshi asked: "If the imperial court directly buys Jiekupu, can't it increase commercial taxes?"

Zhang Fei said: "In terms of revitalizing commerce alone, the official system has never been successful. The advantage of the official system is that it can quickly accumulate wealth for the country, and then collapse and adopt the Trade Law."

Wang Anshi fell silent immediately.

These are **** facts.

Under the official system, businessmen have never had an easy time. Even businessmen have a hard time. Can business taxes still increase?

The key official system is weak and the corruption is so fast that it is jaw-dropping.

Zhang Fei said again: "Scholar Wang, this banknote is different from salt. It is exactly contradictory to the official question, because banknotes are demanded by merchants, and merchants drive transactions, so that more people demand banknotes, and the official question The government is taking over everything, which will definitely reduce transactions. There will be no demand for banknotes, and it will definitely fail."

Wang Anshi frowned and said: "But we have to beware of businessmen. Those businessmen are only interested in profit and forget their loyalty. They are unreliable at critical times. Now that the country is facing so many difficulties, we still have to find ways to make the national treasury richer."

Although he uses many businessman methods in financial management, he personally does not like businessmen. What he pursues is the national economy.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Of course, the imperial court cannot lose control of the businessmen, so what I suggest is cooperation. Now Majia Jiekupu also has to serve the country, because the country is the major shareholder. Third Division You only need to count the coins, decide how much to distribute and how much to take back, and leave the rest to the merchants, which can also save costs for the court."

Wang Anshi nodded slightly, "That's okay, but we can't just cooperate with the Ma family."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It depends on the court's arrangements."

After sending Wang Anshi away, Zhang Fei handed Wang Anshi's article to Hou Donglai, and then prepared to go back.

When I got on the carriage, I suddenly saw Li Bao sitting inside, and subconsciously asked: "Brother Bao?"

"Sanlang can just call me Xiaobao from now on." Li Bao said quickly.

"Huh?"

Zhang Fei looked stunned.

Li Bao immediately changed the subject and said: "There is a rebellion in Yangzhou."

Zhang Fei was startled and said, "But Scholar Wang didn't mention this just now."

Li Bao said: "The scale is not large at the moment, and the court will know about it in a few days."

Zhang Fei asked: "What's going on?"

Li Bao said: "Similar to Jingdong East Road, the Public Security Bureau and the Taxation Department brought the warehouse tax to Yangzhou, which immediately aroused the hostility of many local people.

When the police station was rectifying the fishery, they encountered a group of strongmen who occupied the river, charged fishermen, and even tried to collect taxes from passing ships. A fight broke out between the two sides, and the strongmen took advantage of the situation and rebelled. It is said that this group The strongman was also related to the local sailors. At the same time, many local landowners also took advantage of the situation and began to cause trouble in various towns and villages, hoping to cause chaos and boycott the Public Security Bureau and the Taxation Department. ”

"This is their old routine."

"Before the police, procuratorate, and law came out, this trick was enduring."

"You just said that that group of strongmen are related to the sailors?"

"Yeah."

Li Bao nodded.

Zhang Fei said: "It doesn't matter, the police station should be able to handle it."

Li Bao said sarcastically: "It's not right for Sanlang to say so. He is more or less my Song Dynasty Forbidden Army."

Zhang Fei asked: "Is it difficult?"

Li Bao was silent for a while and said: "Sanlang is right, it really doesn't matter. I guess we will receive good news when the court receives the news."

Yangzhou.

Beside the river, hundreds of Royal Police officers were seen blocking a pier, and the fishing boats docked at the pier were all chained and sealed by the Royal Police.

This immediately attracted many people to watch.

"What's going on! Has the dragon crossing the river been caught?"

"Yesterday evening, I was caught, and all the properties of the dragon crossing the river were seized."

"The methods of these royal police are really powerful!"

"Isn't it? Back then, the Dragon Crossing the River was so tyrannical in these waters that even the sailors didn't dare to provoke it, but now it was only a few days after the rebellion and it was captured alive."

"Hmph, those sailors and the dragon crossing the river are all in the same group."

"Keep your voice down."

"What are you afraid of? Today is different from the past. There is the Royal Police. Do we have to be afraid? Haven't you heard that the Royal Police represents the government and protects the legitimate rights and interests of us ordinary people?"

"That's true, how about we file a complaint."

"When we go to file a complaint, the day lilies are already cold, and it is said that a commander in the naval camp has also been arrested."

"Huh?"

In Yangzhou City.

But I saw more than fifty royal policemen holding down more than ten people and walking out of a large house.

One of them was strong and strong. He struggled and shouted: "You kids, how dare you catch me, do you know who my uncle is?"

A young man standing leisurely at the door said: "Li Jian, Commander of the Yangzhou Navy."

The man said: "You know?"

"More than knowing."

The young man smiled and said: "He is also under investigation at the police station, but he only scolded you for half an hour."

".?"

The big man was immediately stunned.

This young man is Ma Xiaoyi. He and Fu Shichun have rushed from Xuzhou to Yangzhou.

Building a police station is like an assembly line job for Ma Xiaoyi. He is very skilled. After establishing a stronghold, he immediately runs to the next stronghold.

The key point is that compared to before, the police station has more manpower, and it's really fun to do it.

Yangzhou Imperial Court.

"Qi Xiye, Qi Xiye, look at you. This has turned the whole Yangzhou into a mess. People are shouting and killing everywhere. What on earth do you want to do?"

A white-haired old man angrily scolded Qi Hui who was sitting on top.

There were several old men with gray hair and childlike faces sitting next to them.

Qi Hui said: "Mr. Yan, there is a rebellion, are we officials turning a blind eye?"

The old man named Yan said: "But before you came, everything was peaceful here. Why did someone rebel when you came?"

Qi Hui asked: "Why?"

Yan Laodao: "Isn't it because of the warehouse tax of the tax department? Especially the warehouse tax, it is simply robbery. People have to pay taxes even if they save a little food. It is really appalling. From ancient times to the present, Never heard of it."

Qi Hui sighed: "As for the warehouse tax, I also have doubts about it, but it is useless for you to blame me. This was not set by me, but by the Legislative Council and approved by the officials. We must strictly enforce the law."

"We have appealed to the court."

Yan Laodao: "No one will ever pay this warehouse tax."

Qi Hui hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It is up to you whether to hand over or not, but I would like to advise you not to confront the tax department before the court changes this bill."

Another old man asked: "Can the Taxation Department arrest us all?"

Qi Huidao: "Based on the law enforcement situation of the Taxation Department in various places, even if the Yangzhou prefect refuses to hand over, they will arrest the person, and they will definitely arrest him."

The old men looked horrified.

Qi Hui said sincerely: "To tell you the truth, I really don't agree with this warehouse tax, but I really advise you not to provoke the tax department. The rumors you have heard now, It's all true. They really know how to use siege equipment to break down the gate of your mansion. It is said that it is better than before, and they will still use gunpowder to attack in appropriate places."

“They are so lawless, can’t you control them?”

"It wouldn't be scary if it was lawless, but the problem is that they all have laws and regulations. They usually take action only when they have ironclad evidence, so the imperial court will not be able to help you at that time."

".!"

After a brief silence, Yan Lao raised his hand and angrily shouted: "I still don't believe it, they dare to do this. Just wait, they will reap the rewards."

After saying that, he left with his companions.

Qi Hui couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

At this time, a bookkeeper came in and said, "President Qi, news has just arrived. According to statistics from the Xuzhou Imperial Court, the Taxation Department has prosecuted more than 400 landowners in Xuzhou, and has sought to recover up to ten The fine of 20,000 yuan is three times the commercial tax in Xuzhou in previous years."

Last year Yangzhou did not start to popularize the new tax law, but Xuzhou has already popularized it.

Qi Hui said in surprise: "So fast? The Taxation Department should have only gone there last year."

The chief clerk said: "It's hard to say, didn't a lot of tax police appear on Jingdong East Road in a short time? No one knows at the moment how many tax police are hidden in Yangzhou."

Qi Hui wondered: "Have they not heard about the situation on Jingdong East Road?"

The bookkeeper sighed: "Many big landowners are misers. Asking them to ask for an extra penny is like killing them. They must be desperate to see the Yellow River!"

Qi Hui shook his head helplessly and said: "The Taxation Department was raised by these misers. There will definitely be another **** storm at the end of this year!"

Bianliang, Tokyo.

Chief Police Station.

Bang bang bang!

"It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense!"

I saw Cao Dongdong alone in the house, yelling and smashing teapots and cups all over the floor.

The Royal Police outside the door was trembling.

"Why is the yamen so angry?"

"It is said that a good news came from Yangzhou, saying that Chief Ma and the others had captured another group of rebels."

"This is a good thing!"

"Yes! I don't know why Yanei is so angry."

"Go and ask?"

"Are you going?"

"Old rules."

I saw five or six Royal Police officers gathered together. One of them held several chopsticks and each of them smoked one.

After a comparison, the policeman with the shortest draw shivered immediately, and then came to the door tremblingly, "What happened to make Yanei so angry?"

"What happened?"

Cao Dongdong bulged his eyes and said: "I went north last year and got very angry with the Liao people. When I came back, everyone blamed me for being impulsive. That coward Zhang San became a hero instead. That's all. But that guy Xiao Ma But they are still catching rebels in Yangzhou, do you think I can stop being angry?"

The policeman was stunned.

Cao Dongdong said again: "Those strong men in the capital are really worthless. They don't dare to make trouble, so I have nothing to do all day long. It's all my fault that Zhang San, who didn't let me go in the first place. Remember, next time If Zhang San comes, give me a stick and blast him out. Eh? Where are the people?"

In a wine shop next to the pier, a middle-aged man wearing a long gown and two water transport officials were sitting inside.

"A dragon crossing the river?"

The middle-aged man hummed: "It will be dealt with in a few days, so we might as well call it a river rat."

One of the water transport officials whispered: "I heard that the Yangzhou water operations and the Yangzhou navy secretly contributed. Not only were the entire army annihilated, but a commander in the navy camp was also implicated. ."

"Are those sailors just watching from the side?"

"The Public Procuratorate is so cunning. Before this person arrived, he published several newspapers and periodicals, boasting that the Public Procuratorate had recovered military pay for the soldiers in Hezhong Prefecture, and also said that the soldiers might join the police station. Those soldiers were eager for their commander. He was arrested. I heard that there was silence in the military camp over there, and almost all ordinary soldiers supported the public prosecutor and the law."

"Alas, is the situation really over?"

Li Bao’s prediction was correct. The imperial court had just learned about the rebellion in Yangzhou, and a good news came from the police station. There was a rebellion in Yangzhou, but we quickly wiped it out. Remember to give us credit.

Why are those policemen so brave? They are willing to fight against these rebels without their lives. If you ask for credit, you will get credit. They all know that many places do not have police stations. If they perform well in Yangzhou, they will probably be better in the future. Promoted to sergeant, many of the current sergeants in Hebei are all promoted from Jingdong East Road.

This caused a real ups and downs in the mood of the powerful people in the capital. In fact, whether it was Wu Tian on Jingdong East Road or Guojiang Long in Yangzhou, there were shadows of the powerful people in the capital.

They don't want to cause trouble in the capital, but they are instigating trouble in the local area.

But I didn’t expect it to be so vulnerable. It is said that this time, the tax department has not even taken action.

This...

I am completely depressed!

On the other hand, Zhang Fei and the others did not take it seriously at all. This was all expected, and now he is busy launching a public opinion war.

The first article has been published. It directly points out that there is currently a very serious money shortage in Gyeonggi Province, and also points out the bad consequences it will bring.

You must know that although Wang Anshi wrote this article, the content was thought up by Zhang Fei. He must know the harm of this money shortage much better than Wang Anshi. Of course, he also adheres to the propaganda law and tries his best to To put it seriously, I wish I could tell all the shops to close down tomorrow.

Because as far as news is concerned, everyone is obsessed with it and likes to read things that scare them.

The spotlight was instantly stolen.

No one is talking about the law now, everyone is talking about the money shortage.

Immediately, Zhang Fei released a second article, implying that it was the landlord who took away the coins.

Those big landowners gave up at first and immediately published articles to criticize us. It was the imperial court that used warehouse taxes to force us to sell grain and make money away from us. Do you have the nerve to blame us?

But the businessmen quit and immediately started fighting with the landlords, because business was currently in a period of expansion and they just hired a lot of people and were ready to start a big fight. As a result, there was a money shortage at this time, which was indeed very fatal. have to.

They are indeed facing a bankruptcy crisis. They dare not blame the court, but can only blame the landlords.

I don’t blame you for making money, but if you don’t take out the flowers, it’s your fault. You landlords now use silk cloth instead of coins to buy things.

The landlord also retorted, everyone doesn’t use it, it’s not that we don’t use it, so why should we only be blamed?

Zhang Fei issued a third article. It is true that the landlords cannot be blamed, but the three divisions are to blame. The emperor has approved the issuance of another batch of tax coins to rescue merchants. After all, merchants contribute commercial taxes, and the court cannot let it go. But why The Third Division has been slow to post. It is said that a certain Third Division official is still visiting a brothel and is very leisurely.

Someone took the lead and the landlord and the businessman immediately reached a settlement and pointed the conflict directly at the third division.

It’s all Sansi’s fault.

Three divisions.

"Xianggong Wang, I finally know why Xianggong Wang took his article and asked Zhang San to check it."

Xue Xiang, who had been scolded badly, was extremely happy at this time.

Well done!

That’s right!

He didn’t know that it could be promoted like this.

Wang Anshi sighed: "As for publicity, I have actually struggled with it, but it turns out that even ten Wang Anshi are no match for Zhang San! Hurry up and prepare!"

Legislative Council.

Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo and two other young people, including Su Shi and Fan Chunren, were sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun and reading newspapers.

Wen Yanbo closed the newspaper, shook his head and said: "This is not an Erbi. If you become a liar, you won't have to worry about not being able to make a living!"

Lü Gongzhu chuckled and said: "In the past, everyone would sneer at anyone who wanted to issue banknotes, or even scold them angrily. But after these three articles, everyone thinks that the imperial court is rescuing them by issuing banknotes. Haha , This is really unacceptable!”

Su Shi sneered and said: "This is not a very sophisticated strategy. You can see Zhang San's trick at a glance. Why so many people believe it is really puzzling."

Sima Guang on the side smiled and said: "Su Zizhan, please don't say that. Write a few articles and see if you can reverse this public opinion."

Su Shi immediately said: "Mr. Junshi, don't try to provoke me. It's not that I don't have to write, but I'm afraid of delaying the imperial court's plans."

Sima Guang chuckled and said: "You write, I will bear the responsibility if anything happens."

Su Shi said: "One word is settled."

Fu Bi glanced at Sima Guang with a hint of reproach, and then said: "The matter is now over, so don't make matters worse."

Sima Guang just smiled.

He would worry about other aspects, but in this aspect, he was not worried at all. Neither he nor Wang Anshi could do it, but he didn't believe that Su Shi could do it.

Fan Chunren suddenly said: "Fu Gong, these three articles written by Zhang San did not mention a word about the harm of banknotes. This is no different from deceiving people. Zizhan and I stay here just for these banknotes. I think it is necessary to remind everyone about the harm of banknotes to the country and people."

Wen Yanbo nodded and said: "What Chunren said is very reasonable. If you just point out the harm of paper money, it will not be considered as undermining the court's policy."

Fu Bi sighed: "It's up to you."

Su Shi couldn't help but be secretly happy.

He was dissatisfied with Zhang Sanjiu and immediately wrote an article "On Paper Money" and published it in newspapers.

I have to say that this guy’s opinions are really concise and concise, and the article must be very beautiful and gorgeous. In just over a hundred words, he explained the harmful effects of paper money.

Not only does it reveal the harm to the people, but it also reveals the harm to the country, which is the risk of bank runs.

The country will then face the cruel choice of credibility bankruptcy and financial bankruptcy.

As soon as this article was published, it immediately aroused huge heated discussion and won the support of many readers.

Zhang family.

"Have you ever had any issues with Su Zizhan?"

Xu Zun asked.

Zhang Fei said: "No!"

Xu Zundao: "Then why did he write this article?"

Zhang Fei said nonchalantly: "I don't know exactly, maybe he is really worried about banknotes?"

Xu Zun frowned and said, "Then how do you plan to deal with it?"

Xu Zhiqian next to her said: "This time Mr. Su is really overestimating his abilities. In this aspect, no one can beat Zhang San."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I won't join in the fun with him. It's useless for him to just talk without practicing. I have asked Li Si to go to the Ma family and ask the Ma family to give a slight increase in interest. With high coin prices, as long as the money shortage worsens, it will be useless no matter how right you say it."

While he was talking, Wang Anshi suddenly ran over in interest.

"Zhongtu is at home too!"

"What's wrong with Mr. Wang?" Xu Zun asked curiously.

Wang Anshi smiled sheepishly and said, "Have you read Su Shi's articles?"

Xu Zun nodded and said: "We were still discussing this matter just now."

Wang Anshi immediately took out an article, "I also wrote an article to refute him."

Zhang Fei said: "Xueshi Wang, we don't need to pay attention to him. As long as we slightly raise the price of coins, his articles can be ignored."

Wang Anshi said: "No, he is clearly provoking. We must fight back. Otherwise, it will appear that we are not confident enough."

He has been angry with Su Shi for a long time, and he must teach him a lesson this time.

Zhang Fei reluctantly took it and took a look, "Although Xuesheng Wang's rebuttal is well-founded, if it is aimed at Prosecutor General Su, it is not strong enough and cannot hit him where it hurts."

Isn’t this enough? Wang Anshi asked humbly: "What's your best plan?"

Zhang Fei said: "Su Ziyou rose to prominence in Shaanxi and was well-known in the northwest. In comparison, Mr. Su was slightly worse. However, Hezhong Prefecture was the first to issue salt banknotes on a large scale, and Su Ziyou chose a countermeasure. It is to fulfill the duties of the procuratorate and defend the rights and interests of the people, because he knows that banknotes have pros and cons, and this is the difference between the two brothers.

This is what you would do if you really wanted to hurt Mr. Su! ”

Wang Anshi was horrified when he heard this, "This move of yours is really cruel. It's very subtle. It's very subtle. Just write it like this. We have to make him angry this time. That guy is never forgiving. This time we can get it." Teach him a lesson"

Xu Zun and Xu Zhiqian glared at Zhang Fei silently, "You are too vicious. Su Shi can argue with reason, but you actually used Su Che to make trouble."

Wang Anshi, who had mastered the essence, couldn't wait to write an article at Zhang's house.

As soon as this article was published, Su Shi almost fainted out of breath!

First of all, the article admits all the disadvantages mentioned by Su Shi, and secondly, it tells how Hezhong Mansion succeeded, thereby analyzing the government's approach to paper money and how to avoid those disadvantages.

Finally, he praised Su Che and said that Su Che was very aware of the pros and cons of banknotes. Su Che was indispensable for the success of salt banknotes in Hezhong Prefecture. It is no wonder that Su Che is famous in the northwest.

No mention of Su Shi.

But the underlying meaning is that the two brothers are both prosecutors and are facing the same thing, so why are they so different?

Maybe this is the reason for the brothel prosecutor's office.

Legislative Council.

Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo both sympathized with Su Shi. This article was indeed very vicious and hit Su Shi's Achilles' heel.

It’s hard for Su Shi to refute, because the one standing in the way is Su Che!

Although Su Che expressed concerns about banknotes in his letter to him, he did not firmly oppose salt banknotes in Hezhong Mansion. He only cared about salt banknotes. If there was any oversight, he would come to his door and ask the government to rectify it.

Only Sima Guang was still adding insult to injury, "Oh, Zhang San is really despicable. He even used Zi You as an excuse. He won without force!"

When he said this, everyone laughed.

Because Su Shi was notoriously venomous and loved to ridicule others, Sima Guang was often ridiculed by him. This must be done to add insult to injury.

Su Shi said vehemently: "I was talking about paper money, but he was talking about me. This is actually putting the cart before the horse, and he can't be considered a winner."

Mr. Lu smiled and said: "As soon as you wrote that article, the Ma family immediately raised the value of coins. Now it is much cheaper to buy coins to pay interest than to buy silk cloth. This has led to the loss of coins. The value has risen again, the money shortage has further intensified, and now more people are calling on the court to quickly issue banknotes."

Su Shi suddenly became depressed.

Fu Bi smiled and said: "Zizhan! You just lost because you didn't think of a better way."
