Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 55
Fellowship?

It can only be said that Wang Wenshan didn't understand Wang Anshi, or that he didn't understand Wang Anshi at all in his realm.

Wang Anshi's ambition is in the country and the country, and he doesn't care about these at all.

Of course, this is also one of the reasons why Wang Anshi's reform failed in the end.

This court is not about fighting and killing, but about people's understanding of the world!
But then again, does Wang Anshi have low EQ, or can he just pretend he doesn't understand?
The suffering of a man is not humane.

After getting Zhang Fei's contract template, Wang Anshi was not in a hurry to issue a decree, but ran to Song Shenzong.

"Your Majesty, I have been busy with the house tax recently, and found that the previous miscellaneous taxes involved more than a dozen yamen, so that there were too many people, and even several yamen collected several taxes from one family, which shows the disaster of redundant officials. , the harm is not only financial, but also endangers the stability of the world!"

Song Shenzong frowned, "I don't know what good strategy you have?"

Wang Anshi said: "Since miscellaneous taxes are unified, I think that personnel and affairs should also be unified, so I propose to set up a new yamen to deal with all taxes in the city."

Zhang Fei's plan was just to explain the integration of tax types, but Zhang Fei didn't mention much about the department, and he didn't understand the key point. The administrative structure of the Northern Song Dynasty was really a mess. Just can't figure it out.

For example Xu Zun.

When he served as Zhizhou in Dengzhou, his official position was actually the detailed judge of Dali Temple. Simply put, Zhizhou means temporary management, and it is a job.

Now he has returned to Dali Temple, but his official position has become Dengzhou Inspector. Inspector is a false title, but his power is to judge Dali Temple affairs, which also means temporary management.

Anyway, no matter what kind of official you are, you will never do what this official should do.

No dynasty was worse than the Northern Song Dynasty.

It can only be said that the Zhao family, who has experienced the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, is afraid of this like a tiger!

But now this has seriously affected the functioning of the country.

It's time to make a change.

Lu Huiqing is an expert in this field. Since the tax types are unified, personnel and affairs should also be unified. If personnel and affairs are unified, power will be formed.

To change the law, you must have power.

It's just that he is going in two steps, first integrate miscellaneous taxes, see the reactions of ministers, and then use this as an excuse to propose personnel integration.

This tax is all in line, if people don't agree, it doesn't make sense!
The ambitious Song Shenzong would not stick to this, and immediately agreed.

Although the two are monarchs and ministers, they are also mentors and apprentices, and even more confidantes. They have long cherished each other, and they have discussed many times about the disadvantages of superfluous people.

Overstaffing is also a major problem in the Song Dynasty system.

If unified under one department, then the responsibilities will be clearly divided, and the efficiency will be significantly improved.

In the future reforms, this step must be taken, otherwise, the decree will be unreasonable, and it will change the ball!

Wang Anshi also used this matter to operate and practice his hands.

After obtaining Song Shenzong's consent, Wang Anshi reciprocated and handed over the new yamen to Lu Huiqing, giving him some merit and laying the foundation for the future.

You can also use this to tell others that if you follow me, I will not treat you badly.

Horse's house.

"Oh, Liu Dian, I'm really wronged. You say that I'm a small businessman, but I don't know about the affairs of the court. The reason why I agreed to that kid was just to make money, not for anything else."

Ma Tianhao regretted his past, and spoke to the middle-aged man sitting beside him in fear.

This middle-aged man is the Dianshi of Sinong Temple, Liu Shiping, and his duty is to manage Changping warehouse.

The relationship between Changping warehouse and pawn shop is also very close, and there are many business contacts, just like the relationship between shop house affairs and dental shop.

Liu Shiping said: "It doesn't matter whether you know it or not, the key is that you'd better not have any contact with Zhang San in the future."

Ma Tianhao immediately said: "Even if Liu Dian doesn't talk about it, I will never associate with him again."

Seeing that he answered so bluntly, Liu Shiping couldn't help being stunned, "Then you're doing mortgage business?"

Ma Tianhao immediately said: "Liu Dian doesn't know anything about it, I just bought him a contract, but neither hired him nor cooperated with him."

Liu Shiping said, "Buy a contract?"

Ma Tianhao nodded, "He said that this contract can be guaranteed by the court, so as long as the court orders, I have nothing to do with him."

Liu Shiping asked again: "I wonder how much this contract is?"

"Five hundred guan!"

"Five hundred strings?"

Liu Shiping was shocked and said: "Mr. Wai, did you drink his ecstasy soup?"

Ma Tianhao said: "Liu Dian, think about it, if you can get the backing of the imperial court, what a mere five hundred guan is nothing."

Liu Shiping has a headache!

Earn another five hundred guan?
This makes their siege look ridiculous.

But there is no way, the cooperation between the two parties has ended, what else can he ask for.

Liu Shiping could only return in vain.

But as soon as he left, someone came out from the back room, not Zhang Fei.

He just gave the contract template to Ma Tianhao today, and happened to meet this Liu Shiping.

Ma Tianhao looked at Zhang Fei, and said with a smile: "It's extremely dangerous to cooperate with you. Before you say anything, the other party has already come to your door. You, a penman, have offended so many officials. I really don't know how you are. Made it."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Please rest assured, this matter will be resolved soon, and we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Ma Tianhao asked: "Is it related to the Fan family?"

Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Don't worry about it now, the most important thing is to win the battle right now. Soon the imperial court will formally issue a decree. The staff members must hurry up and make profits early so that they can attract to more merchants to join.”

Ma Tianhao said with a smile: "Don't worry about that, I'm already negotiating with Baifanlou about joining the group."

"Alum building?"

Zhang Fei asked curiously, "Isn't that a restaurant?"

Ma Tianhao said with a smile: "Then you really underestimate Baifanlou. There are two major buyers in Bianjing, one is in Xiangguo Temple and the other is in Baifanlou. Take the house to rush to buy, I use this matter to cooperate with Baifanlou, and lobby them to join the occupancy by the way, Fan Yuanwai is also very interested!"

What a great businessman.Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Cooperating with outsiders is really relaxing and enjoyable."

Ma Tianhao said with a chuckle: "Cooperating with you is really scary!"

"Ha ha.!"

Having said that, Ma Tianhao wasn't panicking at all, his contract could become a legal clause, and the threat from Wang Wenshan and others was like a joke.

If you are capable, you will threaten Zhang Fei!

You came to threaten me, doesn't it just prove that you have nothing to do with Zhang Fei?

The relationship with Zhang Fei should be strengthened.

Wangfu.

"Ma Tianhao's old fox is clearly trying to perfuse the old man. What does he do? He doesn't know the old man's grievances with Zhang San. All right, don't fall into my hands from now on."

Wang Wenshan slapped the table angrily and cursed.

Chen Yu advised: "Master, there is no need to get angry. They are all just ordinary people. Not everything they do is aboveboard. They will be caught by us sooner or later."

Wang Wenshan excitedly said: "You don't know, today the imperial court has released rumors, saying that Wang Jiefu is going to set up a new yamen to take charge of the city's taxation."

"Set up a new Yamen?"

Chen Yu groaned, "This Wang Jiefu really has no good intentions!"

The unity of miscellaneous taxes is the law, and the unity of personnel is power.

This is a qualitative difference!
There is a saying in the officialdom, don't be afraid of the law, only fear the power!

In this way, they really want to cut the meat!
Once Wang Anshi controls the taxation in the city, who can escape.

"This must be Zhang San's idea. He is obviously taking revenge on us."

The more Wang Wenshan thought about it, the more angry he became. Originally, he wanted to find another chance to take revenge on Zhang Fei, but he didn't expect that Zhang Fei would bite back first, and it was really painful. Once this policy was implemented, he would definitely A large amount of income was missing, and a gloomy light suddenly flashed in his eyes, "No, the old man has to give him some color."

"Teacher, absolutely not. Although that Zhang San is nothing to worry about, but behind him is Xu Zhongtu, this person is not easy to provoke."

When Chen Yu saw Wang Wenshan's expression, he knew what he was going to do.

At present, Wang Anshi is covering Zhang Fei. Even if they rely on power, they can't help Zhang Fei, so they can only use other means.

This is actually very common in the Northern Song Dynasty. To deal with troublesome people, beating him up is the most straightforward!

"Is this old man easy to provoke?" Wang Wenshan snorted angrily.

Chen Yu frowned and said nothing, obviously disapproving of this.

Wang Wenshan glanced at him, and said: "But don't worry, I don't mean to hurt his life, I just want to teach him a lesson, let him understand that Bianjing is not a place for him to stay, as long as we are careful and don't leave If there is no evidence, he will have nothing to do with us.”

Chen Yu knew that Zhang San had become Wang Wenshan's heart demon. After all, this Wang Wenshan was born in a family of officials and was pampered since childhood. Now he has a high status, but he has never been humiliated by the common people. If Zhang Fei is not severely punished, he will be hard to let go. Heartache hate, and even feel ashamed to see people.

After Chen Yu frowned and thought for a while, she said, "Actually, it's not impossible to do this."

Wang Wenshan asked, "What do you think?"

Chen Yu said: "If Wang Jiefu really establishes a new government office, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many ministers in the court, but since Wang Jiefu is deeply trusted by the officials, this matter may not be changed, we can take this opportunity to make them vent their anger on Zhang San.

If Zhang San was attacked at this time, many ministers in the court would definitely applaud, but Wang Jiefu might not ignore it. The power to compete with Wang Jiefu, so we may be able to get a chance to win. "

Wang Wenshan's eyes lit up, "This plan is very clever."

That's what they did last time. Wang Anshi and Sima Guang both opposed the restraint of litigation, but there was nothing they could do.

As for the housing tax reform, both Sima Guang and Chen Shengzhi supported Wang Anshi because they took advantage of the right time, place and people. It is difficult to reverse this matter, but if Zhang Fei is brought in, the nature of this will change.

In fact, this is also a common method used by officials.
