Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 534
In fact, Wen Yanbo was not advising Sima Guang, but reminding Sima Guang to be prepared.

Wen Yanbo sees this very thoroughly. Wang Anshi's new law is a national need, while Sima Guang's judicial reform is more a political struggle.

If there is no new law, no one will think that our Song Dynasty still needs judicial reform.

This judicial reform is purely out of resistance to the new law.

That's it.

That is why, although the judicial reform has clearly offended those with vested interests, the resistance encountered is not very great.

The reason is that the backbone of the conservative faction headed by Sima Guang has gathered on the banner of judicial reform, including Fu Bi who later participated in it.

They are worried that if the judicial reform is eliminated, Fu Bi, Sima Guang and others will be harmed indirectly.

Interestingly, this also relieved the pressure on Wang Anshi to reform the law, because the minister could not stand the judicial reform even more, and chose the lesser of two evils, so he decisively sided with Wang Anshi.

Some people think that if the new law is eliminated, Sima Guang's family will be the only one, and there will be no one to check and balance the judicial reform.

These vested interests, they prefer to see the new law and judicial reform die together, and both lose.

Therefore, they will definitely ask Sima Guang to use judicial reform to stop the young crop law.

You must know that when everyone learned that Wang Anshi was going to introduce the Green Crop Law, the opposition to the new law also reached a climax, especially the backbone of conservatives who firmly opposed it, such as Liu Shu, Qi Hui and others.

If the judicial reform cannot achieve this, then what is the reason for everyone to support the judicial reform, then we might as well support the new law.

Because finances are really difficult and really need to change.

The judiciary performed very well in the political system of the Song Dynasty.

Sima Guang also understood that he had to write a letter to Zhang Fei quickly to make him prepare, and it might still fall on him in the end.

At this time, Zhang Fei had just gained a firm foothold in the Hezhong Mansion, at least he had already obtained the support of several great families in the Northwest, which was very crucial.

He has to quickly build the imperial court and show more benefits of the imperial court.

Such as the Legal Aid Department, the Law Journal, and law schools are all urgent matters.

At this time, on the open space in front of the gate of the imperial court, there are hundreds of craftsmen beating and beating.

"We will have a different Lushi Lane here. We will not put all the bookstores together, but will separate them. This, this, and there are all future bookstores, for Li Xingshou's one." For the sake of face, let you choose first."

Zhang Fei pointed to several places while talking to Li Min.

Li Min said embarrassingly: "Mr. Zhang, the court's decree has not yet come down. We don't know what the situation is. Now we are starting to build shops. If it doesn't work, then what should we do?"

He doesn't even have the right to sue now, and he has to hide in the Legal Aid Department, how dare he want a shop.

Zhang Fei hehe said: "You don't think you can afford the shop here, do you? This is built with the money of the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with you for the time being. We will build it and rent it out to you. You don't have to rent it." , it doesn’t matter, but the rent is definitely not cheap, so you have to be prepared.”

When Li Min heard it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Is it more expensive than Record Lane?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Definitely."

Li Min was surprised and said, "It's more expensive than the capital city?"

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "The most expensive thing in the capital is the location. In Bianjing, every inch of land is expensive, but what is expensive here is the value. In the capital, Erbi still has to be subject to many restrictions, but here the role that Erbi can play, It is far better than the capital city, and the amount of lawsuits involved must also far exceed the capital city.

You must know that this Hezhong Mansion is a transportation fortress, and a large amount of goods including salt will be traded here. There must be more property disputes than those in the capital, and the legal system is more conducive to handling these disputes.

At that time, every inch of land and every inch of gold must be here.You'd better make your selection quickly, otherwise, you may not even be able to find a store by then. "

Li Min glanced at Zhang Fei secretly, and was also muttering in his heart.

The rent is easy to negotiate, but the key point is that you have to give me the right to argue!

"Zhang San!"

"Third Brother!"

Hearing two yells, Zhang Fei looked back and saw Cao Dongdong, Ma Xiaoyi, Fu Shichun, the three giants of the police station, got off their horses, let Taozi throw the whip on them, and walked towards this side.

Li Min also bid farewell tactfully.

Zhang Fei immediately called Li Si and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Hey!"

Li Si nodded and immediately ran into the imperial court.

"Zhang San, are you meeting Goulan Washe here?"

When he came to the front, Cao Dongdong asked expectantly.

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said, "Are you kidding me? Every inch of land is expensive here. If I want to build a Goulan tile house, I have to pay for my underwear."

Ma Xiaoyi asked curiously: "Third brother, this Goulan house has to lose money, so what are you going to sell here?"

Zhang Fei pointed to his head.

"Human head?"

Cao Dongdong exclaimed.

"I'll go to you."

Zhang Fei glared at him, "What are you thinking about? It's wisdom."

".?"

Cao Dongdong looked at Zhang Fei, "Are you crazy, can there be a Goulan Washe to make money?"

Fu Shichun smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Baifanlou has been in business for decades before it has the scale it is today. But you can see that Bianjing Law Firm has only been in business for many years, and the money it earns is no less than that of Baifanlou."

"Brother Xiaochun is still smart." Zhang Fei chuckled, "Nothing is more valuable than wisdom."

"I do not believe."

Cao Dongdong snorted, saw that there was no Goulan tile house, but he was not interested, and asked again: "By the way, what do you want us to do?"

Zhang Fei said: "Come on, let's talk over there."

When they came to a big willow tree, they saw a few square tables here, and the guy under the shed at the side immediately brought a pot of herbal tea and poured them a cup.

After the guy left, Zhang Fei asked, "How is your police station preparing?"

Fu Shichun said: "It went very smoothly, just as you expected. The Yongxing Army gave our police station great support. Whether it is people or money, they fully agreed."

Cao Dongdong said proudly, "My old Cao's family still has some connections in Hezhong Mansion."

Zhang Fei just smiled.

It really wasn't Cao Dongdong's bragging. It turned out that Zhao Xu passed Cao's evaluation and asked the military to cooperate with the police station as much as possible.

Fu Shichun asked: "How many people should we recruit first?"

Zhang Fei said, "Five thousand."

"Just that little?" Ma Xiaoyi said immediately.

Zhang Fei said: "That's all? Little Ma, how much do you want?"

Ma Xiaoyi said carelessly: "At least tens of thousands, we all do this in Bianjing."

"That was a special case, it's not the same here."

Zhang Fei said unhappily.

Just as he was talking, Li Si ran over suddenly, panting and handed a booklet to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei took it and threw it in front of Cao Dongdong, "Here."

"what is this?"

Cao Dongdong picked it up without hesitation.

Zhang Fei said: "This is the law enforcement manual of the Royal Police. It contains some codes of conduct for the Royal Police in law enforcement. After all, you Royal Police are on the front line and have the largest number of people. If anyone wants to deal with our Public Security Bureau, Your police station must be the first to bear the brunt, you must strictly abide by discipline, you must have a code of conduct, and if there is a dispute, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Since the Royal Police is going to be built into an elite army capable of fighting, in Zhang Fei's view, discipline is the most important thing. This law enforcement manual is tailor-made for the Royal Police himself.

Fu Shichun frowned when he heard this, and said half-jokingly: "Zhang San, do you mean interfering with our police station?"

Zhang Fei's expression froze, and he quickly explained: "I gave it to the Yamen, not to your police station. I am the Daer pen in the Yamen, and I should serve it. This manual is also based on the usual training of the Royal Police in the Yamen. of."

"is it?"

Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes, "You are my Daer pen, and you wrote it according to my training method, so this pamphlet should be mine. If the police station wants it, you have to pay the copyright fee." .”

"what?"

The three looked at Cao Dongdong in surprise at the same time.

Even Zhang Fei couldn't keep up with this jump in thinking.

Cao Dongdong said again: "But this yamen doesn't care about this little money, so let's give it to the police station for free."

As he said that, he smiled, and stroked the booklet in his hand like a treasure, "Remember to write my name next time."

Thinking that those royal policemen would have to read the pamphlets signed by him in the future, he was so flattered in his heart that he covered his mouth and smiled.

Zhang Fei heheed twice: "I don't care, but I think Ya Nei should be more careful. If the name of Ya Nei is written at that time, if Ya Nei doesn't abide by it, it will be even worse."

Cao Dongdong snorted and said, "You really underestimate people. With Taozi here, how could this yamen not abide by it."

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment before realizing, "Who taught you this trick?"

"You!"

The three said in unison.

The corners of Zhang Fei's mouth twitched, it seemed that I was more suitable to be a pen, and coughed: "Let me explain to you the contents of this manual."

"Wait a minute!"

Xiao Ma said solemnly: "Third brother, in fact, I am usually the one who trains the Royal Police, so I have to write my name too."

".!"

It was almost evening when Zhang Fei was about to get up and leave, when the big dog came over suddenly, "Director Zhang, our people discovered that the procuratorate is investigating another case recently."

Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What case?"

The big dog said: "It's about a disabled soldier's pension case. This case is quite common, but many officials may be involved."

Zhang Fei frowned, and immediately asked, "Could it be a trap?"

The big dog shook his head and said: "It is indeed possible, but it has not been found yet."

Zhang Fei sighed, and said: "Whether it is true or not, we have to face it. You sort out the relevant information of this case and give it to me as soon as possible."

The big dog nodded, and immediately asked: "Will the procuratorate not discuss it with Chief Judge Zhang?"

Zhang Fei said: "According to the system, unless they decide to sue, otherwise, they don't need to discuss with me."

Su Zhe didn't look for him at first, he must have followed the rules. He estimated that it was unlikely that he would consult with him before suing.

After these three lawsuits, everyone has a clear understanding of the power of the Public Procuratorate, and also knows that the Public Procuratorate is by no means a friend, and everyone is watching every move of the Public Procuratorate.

The procuratorate made a slight move, and Wei Yingfang got the news immediately.

"I heard that the procuratorate is investigating a pension for disabled soldiers?"

Wei Ying spoke to Cao Yi.

Cao Yidao: "I also just found out."

"Just found out?"

Wei Yingfang asked, "Didn't you do this?"

Cao Yi hurriedly explained: "I really didn't do it, and I'm not that stupid. If I make a move at this time, everyone will doubt it."

Wei Yingfang frowned, "Is it just a coincidence?"

"I don't think it's a coincidence."

Cao Yi shook his head, and said: "Wei Tongsan can go to the army to have a look. Those soldiers are all praising the imperial court. It is normal for soldiers to go to the procuratorate to seek justice at this time."

Wei Yingfang inspected Cao Yi for a while, and then asked: "Then tell me, how should we deal with it?"

Cao Yi said: "Is this matter related to Wei Tong's sentence?"

Wei Yingfang immediately said: "I have nothing to do with this matter."

Cao Yidao: "Since it has nothing to do with Wei Tong's judgment, it's better to let them investigate. Let's wait and see what happens. The more people they offend, the better for us."

Procuratorate.

Su Zhe held a piece of loose cotton cloth, "Is this what they have used for many years?"

Chen Qi shook her head and said, "This has never been used before."

Su Zhe asked again, "What can this cloth do?"

"I'm not quite sure about this?" Chen Qi said, "They said that the government's finances are difficult, so they only use this cloth as military salary and distribute it to the soldiers' families."

Su Zhe frowned, and asked again: "What about the pension?"

Chen Qidao: "The Department of Compensation and Pensions said that due to financial difficulties, they had to give priority to the pensions of those soldiers who died in battle. Chen Guang was disabled, so they didn't pay him in time, but they also asked a doctor to treat Chen Guang for the disabled. limb."

"This hand has already been broken, can it be reconnected?"

Su Zhe laughed when he heard that, "Seventy-eight out of ten of the finances are spent on military expenses every year. It's really unreasonable for them to use this as an excuse."

Chen Qidao: "But the current situation is that they use cloth as military salary every month. This is not against the system of our court. Our court has a clear regulation that if there is insufficient money and food, salt and cloth can be used instead. It's just that the cloth is really shoddy and shoddy. It cannot be exchanged for money. As for the pension, they said that the dead should be taken care of first, but we have no choice, because according to the court system, the pension system also puts the dead first."

Wang Shendao: "Why don't we talk to them and let them make up for Chen Guang's military salary first, otherwise, we will sue them."

Chen Qi frowned and said, "They may not agree."

Su Zhe sighed, "Even if I agreed, it would be very difficult. Because even if I made up the money, Chen Guang would not be able to repay the debt. In the end, he would have to sell his wife and children."

Wang Shendao: "We can't ask the government to help him repay the debt, and then give him a sum of money. It is impossible for the government to agree."

Su Zhe pondered for a while, and said: "Since they didn't violate the system on the surface, then we don't want to be aggressive. You can talk to them first and see if you can find a way to solve this matter. If they don't agree, let's continue Make a plan."
