Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 220

The reason why Zhang Fei insists on governing the country first is because the top-level design of the Northern Song Dynasty is very good. It already has the ability to manage a commercial society, but it is a little bloated.

Let’s just say that the civil servants’ first day group all have very strong management skills, and there is no one who is trying to gain fame.

There is no problem in terms of talent replenishment.

Even the most criticized use of literature to control martial arts is actually not a problem. War is the continuation of politics.

Even if it is a thousand years later, in any mature political structure, civil servants decide. It is impossible for the military commander to decide whether to fight or not. If the military commander decides, the war will never stop.

How can a military general be promoted without fighting.

It shouldn't be that the emperor and civil servants of the Song Dynasty liked to direct the war directly by remote control.

This is outrageous.

Whether to fight or not is decided by civil officials, but how to fight should be left to the generals to decide.

The main problem of the Song Dynasty was actually the centralization of the bottom.

At the bottom, good and bad are mixed, good and bad are mixed, it's still the same as before, what kind of township head, Li Zheng.

Compared with the top floor, it is completely two concepts.

The top level is fully able to cope with the entry of agriculture into commerce. Fu Bi, Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang all have macroeconomic concepts and know how to regulate them, but their ideas are different.

But the bottom layer can't do anything about it.

Just say taxes.

The Tang Dynasty was an equal-field system, and tax collection only required every household to knock on the door, ask for it, beg for it, and rob it, which was simple and rude.

But in the Song Dynasty, this could not be done at all. Land deeds and deed taxes must be the mainstay, because land in the Song Dynasty can be bought and sold at will, and tax collectors must be able to read and do arithmetic, and update the cadastre at least twice a year.

Not to mention the commercial tax, which is [-] times more complicated than the agricultural tax.

But the current situation is that it is completely unable to cope, causing some people to pay more taxes, and some landlords to pay less taxes.

The bottom layer must be specialized.

The result of specialization is the doubling of expenditure costs.

In fact, the Song Dynasty also wanted to specialize. For example, auditing and forensic medicine had already been specialized, but there were still too few of them. There was no other reason but lack of money.

Therefore, the first step of specialization must be tax specialization.

You have to collect the money first to be eligible for all-round specialization.

Moreover, as far as this tax lawsuit is concerned, without professional support, it is difficult to last for a long time. It is impossible for every tax lawsuit to have the emperor and prime minister to help behind it.

Shenzong understood!
So he hardly thought about it, so he decided to give it a try.

It's about making money for the country.

Wang Anshi was the most ruthless one Shenzong had ever seen, but the most ruthless Wang Anshi never thought of collecting deed tax from grassroots bandits.

It can only be said that a mountain is still as high as a mountain, and the strong are even stronger.

It's so cruel!
he likes!
You can rebel, but Nima has to pay taxes!

This is the real money making for the country!
After sending Shenzong away, Zhang Fei had a simple meal at Xu's house, and chatted with Xu Zun about it.

Of course, he whispered to Zhao Xu, and did not reveal Xu Zun, and the conversation was about the prosecution.

Xu Zun couldn't give him too many opinions on this.

Because from a legal point of view, it is completely possible. Anyone can report on other people's tax evasion, and the court encourages it.

But it is logically contradictory.

Wang Anshigui is a political adviser, and he has the power to check taxes. If there is evidence, he can directly send someone to sue the client. Isn't this superfluous?

But this contradiction does not exist for Zhang Fei, he has to do things after receiving money.

The next thing he has to do is to write the pleadings and send them to Kaifeng Mansion.

As for whether it can be done, that has nothing to do with him.

"Sanlang, you are back."

Gao Wenyin was still as virtuous as ever, she stood in the front yard and greeted Zhang Fei with a smile.

Zhang Fei just nodded slightly, and suddenly looked at Xiao Tao who was beside him.

There was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, which made Xiao Tao's heart tremble.

"Little peach!"

"exist!"

"From now on, you are not allowed to bask in the sun or eat candied fruit in the courtyard." Zhang Fei said seriously.

"I see, thank you, Brother San, for your concern."

"care?"

"Isn't the third brother afraid that I will be exposed to the sun?"

Xiaotao was touched and said, "It's been so hot recently, I usually eat in the corridor."

".!"

This girl can't be taught.never mind!Zhang Fei looked at Gao Wenyin again, "And you, Ma'am."

"I?"

Gao Wenyin looked at Zhang Fei with astonishment.

Zhang Fei said: "You can't just help me drive away mosquitoes when I'm doing things, you also have to help me drive away mosquitoes when I'm sleeping."

Gao Wenyin hurriedly said, "I'll check before Sanlang goes to bed. Has Sanlang had any mosquitoes while sleeping recently?"

"is it?"

Zhang Fei blinked: "No wonder I have never been bitten by mosquitoes while sleeping, thank you Madam."

Gao Wenyin nodded slightly and said, "No thanks, this is what I should do."

Wait, what am I here for?Here.!Zhang Fei slapped his forehead and lamented, "I'm really shit-like in execution."

".?"

Gao Wenyin and Xiao Tao looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhang Fei immediately gave up on disciplining them, and said to Feng Nanxi and Niu Beiqing: "Lao Qi, Daniel, come with me, I have something to ask you."

Calling the two into the hall, Zhang Fei asked: "Lao Qi, I remember you mentioned before that you know many people from the world, or you can say, green forest heroes?"

Niu Beiqing immediately patted his chest and said, "We have quite a few brothers, and we all know each other in every state and county."

"Stop bragging."

Feng Nanxi glared at this guy, and said to Zhang Fei: "Actually, we also met with Dalang and Erlang. Their brothers know many good men outside."

Niu Beiqing said: "Da Lang Erlang knows it, and I know it more or less, but I'm not very familiar with it."

Zhang Fei asked: "What kind of work do these Jianghu people you know generally do?"

Feng Nanxi said: "Dalang Erlang made friends and never asked about his background, so there are all kinds of people, such as quack doctors, businessmen, Yasi, Yaren, even monks and Taoists."

"Jiro?"

Zhang Fei was thoughtful.

The next day.

Of course Zhang Fei did not go to the office, his most urgent task was to finish writing the pleadings with Xu Zhiqian.

And this pleading paper is also a historical record.

They wanted to accuse [-] people, and they had to write the evidence into the pleadings.

This is not a brain job, but a drudgery.

For this reason, Zhang Fei asked Feng Nanxi to come and help.

"Third Brother!"

Li Si came to the door suddenly, "Someone is looking for you outside."

Zhang Fei asked: "Who?"

Li Sidao: "The man just said that he was entrusted by someone to pass a message to you, third brother."

Could it be.!Zhang Fei blinked and said in his heart, it seems that the officials are serious, they sent people over just this morning, can I do it, forget it, our execution is not enough, let's use intelligence to make up for it!

Xu Zhiqian suddenly asked: "Could it be related to this lawsuit?"

Zhang Fei replied: "It was your senior brother who gave me something."

Xu Zhiqian was startled, and hurriedly said: "Then you go!"

Just when he came to the front yard, Zhang Fei suddenly said to Li Si, "Go and invite that man to the back yard."

"Yes."

After a while, Li Si came to the backyard with a seven-foot-long man in his thirties.

"Li Bao met Zhang Sanlang."

When this man saw Zhang Fei, he clasped his fists and saluted.

"Zhang Fei." Zhang Fei clasped his fists in return, then stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Li, please sit down."

"Thank you!"

After sitting down, Zhang Fei asked, "Which government office does Brother Li belong to?"

Li Bao said: "I belong to the Imperial City Division."

That is, the highest secret service department in the Northern Song Dynasty, who went to Dengzhou to rescue Fang Yun, was also a member of the Imperial City Division.

Zhang Fei nodded and asked again: "How many people in the court know the identity of Brother Li?"

Li Bao said: "Only the officials know about our team."

It seems that the officials still understand the routine very well.Zhang Fei asked, "How many people do you have?"

Li Bao replied: "Six people."

"six people?"

Zhang Fei nodded, and asked again: "But now I want to investigate the land tax situation of [-] people in a short period of time. How can the six of you do it?"

Li Bao said: "I'm just in charge of contacting Sanlang. The officials will help us when the time comes. Please rest assured Zhang Sanlang."

Zhang Fei asked again: "If the officials don't provide help, can you do it?"

Li Bao was slightly taken aback, and said, "It can't be done in a short time."

Zhang Fei couldn't help showing disappointment.

This made Li Bao very humiliated. Six people checked the taxes of [-] people. You think we are gods!Asked curiously: "Does Saburo think that we can do it?"

Zhang Fei asked instead, "What do you think is the most important thing in our business?"

Li Bao pondered for a while, "Hidden."

"wrong!"

Zhang Fei said: "In our business, there are three magic weapons, ruthless enough, treacherous enough, and many brothers."

Li Bao was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Please forgive me for being stupid, I don't know what Sanlang said?"

Zhang Fei said: "You have to remember one thing, the water flows to the lower place, and the tax goes to the higher place, so the tax source is actually in the lower place, not the higher place. The investigation must start from the root. There are many people. It is useless to know enough people.

Therefore, making friends with a high official of the imperial court is far less helpful in tax inspection than making friends with a secretary, a water official, or a toothman.If you know enough people, you can check the taxes of these [-] people by yourself. "

Li Bao nodded, "I understand."

Zhang Fei said: "I will tell the officials at that time, to increase your funding and meet new friends, the test is not skill, let alone concealment, but money. In addition, I will introduce someone to join you, he will be able to teach you, How to make friends with those traffickers or pawns or heroes."

Li Bao said: "We can't decide on this matter, we must get the official's permission."

Not everyone can join their team.

"I'll tell the officials about that."

Zhang Fei nodded, and handed the information written yesterday to Li Bao, "It states what you need to find out and how to do it. Remember this and use whatever means you can. If you can't finish it, then our fate will come to an end." this."

Li Bao took the documents, cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry Zhang Sanlang, we will definitely complete the task."

In fact, they still have plenty of time to perfect these evidences.

Because it took three full days to write the pleading paper, and another half day to sort it out.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhang Fei took a carriage to Kaifeng Mansion.

All this intimacy came over my face.

When the four servants at the gate saw Zhang Fei, two guarded the drum and two blocked the gate.

What an experience.

Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't be nervous, I am no longer the reckless young man I was back then, I hope my brother can help me pass the message that Zhang San has something to see the prefect of Lu."

After a stick of incense.

inner hall.

"Why are you here again?"

When Li Kai saw Zhang Fei, he already had a pregnancy reaction, feeling sick and wanting to vomit.
Lu Gong next to him looks calm and calm on the surface, but he is extremely depressed in his heart. I will be transferred soon, so can you come back a few months later?

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Don't blame the judge, actually I don't want to bother Lv Zhifu and Li Tong judge, but I have no choice, this is what I did."

Li Kaidao: "You can go to other places to sue, the left hall, the right hall, and the Secretary of Records, haven't you been there?"

Zhang Fei said aggrievedly: "This case may not be handled by the Left and Right Offices."

Lu Gong felt a little bit in his heart.

Li Kai directly revealed his depression, "What case?"

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Li Tong. The people involved this time are not big, but there are a lot of people. Only the Kaifeng government has the ability to hear this case."

The number of people is so large that only the provincial government can interrogate them?I have never encountered such a thing.It is generally said that the level is very high, so they have to come to the provincial capital. There have never been too many people to come to the province.

Lu Gong couldn't help asking, "How many people?"

Zhang Fei said: "One hundred and eight people."
