Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 558

Judicial reform was born out of the new law. Without the new law, judicial reform cannot exist.

It can even be said that Sima Guang would not necessarily give such a big support, or even not support it.

That being the case, we should find a way to get things back on track. There is a saying that there is no room for two tigers on this mountain.

Let the two tigers fight to the death.

Because the tone set by the imperial court will inevitably affect the implementation of the new law.

These officials are not stupid. Wang Anshi's new law is to pursue super-centralization, use power to monopolize, and then collect money.

This is why officials have always given the public security law a certain living space, because the public security law can check and balance this kind of power.

Now that the government is being tossed to death by the public security law, if you want to toss the new law, can you justify it?

Of course, this is also based on the fact that the officials ended up in a disastrous defeat regarding military expenditures.

Lost terribly.

What he designed was to use finances to put pressure on the court.

However, they did not expect that the imperial court would put pressure on them in turn to let them settle the matter.

This is really speechless.

For the time being, they really don't have the courage to fight against the imperial court. Moreover, instead of charging forward and fighting with the public prosecutor, it is better to sow discord in the middle.

This is exactly the same as the thinking of those ministers in the court.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether they want to lower the interest rate or not, they have to lobby those big landlords.

Procuratorate!

"Does the imperial court support the new law, or oppose the new law?"

Chen Qi is like a two-zhang monk, confused.

Originally, when they heard the news that the imperial court wanted to improve usury, they thought it was paving the way for the Green Crop Law, but now that they learned the details, they thought it was restricting the Green Crop Law.

Consistency between the government and the private sector is fatal.

Su Zhe stared at the notice with a frown, his brows drooping, and he was thinking in his heart, which side did he belong to?Why does it seem like he is playing [-] big boards each time? It's not right. The success of the errand method in Bianjing is all due to him!Is such legislation really beneficial to the Young Crops Law?Moreover, he didn't mention the Changping position method?
"The Attorney General, the Attorney General?"

"what?"

Su Zhe was slightly startled, glanced at Chen Qi, and said perfunctorily: "What are you guessing, he is now the chief judge of the imperial court, of course he only supports the public prosecutor's law."

As soon as the words came out, he was also stunned, yes!Maybe. Maybe he's in a league of his own?
At this time, the imperial court was really in a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere.

After this battle, the imperial court has completely gained a firm foothold in the Hezhong Mansion, and no one dares to despise the imperial court, mainly those gentlemen.

The army can be dismissed. Would it be difficult to run you as a local official?
The most important point is that the imperial court has won over the soldiers. Before Zhang Fei came, he was afraid that the other party would use mutiny against him.

This is the most taboo of the imperial court, and it is also the most taboo of the law.

Therefore, when the Zhong Er case was not being tried, he was still very low-key, and he was very low-key. He knew that the salt officials were playing tricks inside, but he didn't say that he would punish them, let alone improve the lending regulations. It is to tear faces with the big landlords.

This is their core interest!

"Cai Jing! What's the situation outside?"

Zhang Fei casually leaned on the desk, folded his hands on his chest, and asked Cai Jing.

Cai Jing said with a smile: "The students don't know what they said in private. Anyway, the students didn't hear any objections."

Ye Zucha proudly said: "At this moment, who would dare to disobey the decree of our imperial court."

Zhang Fei glanced at him, "Don't think so, it's not our decree, but the legal judgment of our imperial court. In fact, there are perfect lending regulations in Song Xingtong, but no one usually takes these regulations seriously. "

Shangguan Jun said: "Teacher, this tree is more beautiful than the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Should we accept it as soon as it is good?"

Ye Zuqia excitedly said: "How can you build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige, of course you have to take advantage of the victory to pursue."

The two people's personalities are also very different, Ye Zuqia is a bit arrogant and more concerned about gains and losses, while Shangguan is introverted and more moral.

"You two stop arguing!"

Zhang Fei said: "Actually, both of you are right. Since you want to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, you also want to accept it when you see it."

After hearing this, the two were taken aback at the same time.

"Can the two be done at the same time?"

"That depends on what's going on?"

Cai Jing said suddenly.

Zhang Fei turned his head to look at Cai Jing, "For example?"

Cai Jingdao: "It's time to collect the autumn tax soon."

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Continue talking!"

Cai Jing knew that he had guessed right, and immediately said: "There are a lot of tricks in this tax collection. We can secretly release the news. If the conversion algorithm is also applicable to the autumn tax, many people will not dare to mess around."

Cai Bian's eyes lit up, "My brother is right. This is something that benefits the country and the people. It can not only increase the revenue of the treasury, but also reduce the burden on the people. It can also win the favor of the people for our imperial court."

"It would be too obvious to post the news."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Just let the police station go to the government to ask if you want to help. After all, many government servants have been transferred to the police station before, and tax collection requires manpower."

Cai Jingdao: "It seems that the teacher has already thought of it."

Zhang Fei chuckled, "You will be responsible for this matter. Whether or not you will have a bumper tax harvest this autumn depends entirely on you."

Cai Jing cupped his hands and said, "Students will never let the teacher down."

Zhang Fei then said to the other three people: "You three don't be idle, now that our imperial court is in the limelight, fill me with the law school."

"Yes."

At this time, Xu Zhiqian who was on the side suddenly handed over some copywriting.

Zhang Fei took it and threw it on the table, "Admission Guidelines. Take a good look at it yourself."

So they went out with Xu Zhiqian.

Shangguan picked up a copy and whispered: "If you only look at the behavior of the teacher, you really don't look like a teacher. We don't have the ability, so don't go to learn it, and don't make trouble in the law school." joke."

The other three nodded in unison.

Suddenly a figure came in, the four of them were startled, turned their heads to look, and saw Zhang Fei appeared at the door again.

"Shangguan, I forgot to tell you that the aunt who cleaned today is a little unwell, so I will leave this conference room to you."

"is teacher."

Shangguan hurriedly got up and responded.

"It's work!"

Zhang Fei nodded and left again.

After a while of silence, it was confirmed that Zhang Fei had really left, and the four breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Shangguan Jun said: "Did the teacher hear that?"

"It goes without saying."

Ye Zu laughed and said: "I just saw my aunt cleaning the table in the front hall."

Shangguan Jun slapped his mouth hard, "My mouth!"

"Giggle!"

After leaving the small courtyard of the meeting room, Xu Zhiqian couldn't help laughing, "You! You are so narrow-minded!"

Zhang Fei put his arms around him: "I thought you would praise me for my good hearing."

"go with!"

Xu Zhiqian twisted his hand away, "Shangguan Jun is right, you don't look like a teacher."

Zhang Fei shrugged and said, "So I didn't say he was wrong!"

Xu Zhiqian secretly rolled her eyes, and said again: "But this Cai Jing really has some tricks, and he can guess your next plan."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Just kidding, can my student be a good person?"

"That's true." Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips and smiled, and said again: "But can your method really make them feel afraid, dare not exploit the people, and make those big landlords pay taxes?"

Zhang Fei said: "It will be more or less effective. After all, they are also planning in their hearts. Whether we will be here next year or not is still unknown. It is impossible to be caught by us on the cusp of this crisis. This is what I give to Bachelor Yuan and them. A small gift, after all, the government is really short of money right now."

Suddenly, a person in front said: "Why did you come back?"

Looking up, I saw Gao Wenyin standing on the side path holding a small basin.

"Have a holiday!"

Zhang Fei stepped forward and gently embraced Gao Wenyin, "So come back early to be with you."

Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes and said, "What kind of holiday is it? Laziness is what it is."

Gao Wenyin immediately said: "Then don't say accompany me, I can't bear this responsibility."

Zhang Fei asked in surprise, "When did Madam become so humorous?"

Xu Zhiqian smiled and said: "Isn't this all learned from you? Your student is not a good person, so your wife...!"

After saying this, she immediately shut up.

Zhang Fei said hehe: "You have a very clear understanding of yourself!"

Compared to the idleness of the imperial court, everyone in the Transshipment Department was dizzy and dizzy.

Now the pressure is on the transfer department.

Almost everyone, including Cai Yanqing, counted on Yuan Jiang.

They are helpless.

This military expenditure is very complicated. One side needs to be imported, one side needs to be paid out, one side needs to be saved, and one side needs to be spent.

Damn it!
"It seems that the only thing we can do is repeat the old trick."

Yuan Jiang sighed, and said: "Divide the debt into monthly expenditures for those soldiers. In this way, the burden of disarmament can also be reduced. If the soldiers are laid off, they are just in the process of claiming compensation, and at least they can still receive monthly payments." Repay the money accordingly, so that the livelihood will not be cut off all at once.”

Cai Yanqing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought to himself, I knew you had already made plans.

Tang Zhongwen said: "At present, there are only 500 people, but in the future, it may be possible. Our annual financial income is so much. Unless the imperial court allocates funds, otherwise, it will be difficult to cope with it!"

Yuan Jiang said: "Therefore, we have to find ways to save money and make money."

"save money?"

A group of officials were shocked. Is this to reduce the expenditure of our officials?
Yuan Jiang said directly: "Don't worry, your salary and treatment will not be reduced."

Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Jiang said: "I have carefully looked at the accounts of the third department in recent years, and found that they are in a state of chaos, which has led to the fact that the transshipment department cannot clearly know the situation in the warehouse.

The rotten cloth distributed to the soldiers before was born because of this.

Therefore, first of all, we have to re-plan the accounting statistics of the entire transshipment department, such as money, silk, salt, iron, tea and grain, which must be reported to the transshipment department.However, such as materials for the post, debts owed by the institute, repairs, bamboo and wood, miscellaneous goods, boats, charcoal, materials for river repair, materials for Shili bridge boats, and grass for carts and donkeys, there is no need to report to the Transshipment Department, and they are classified as local finance. . "

Wei Yingfang asked: "Can we decide on this?"

Financial power is very important to the imperial court. Can our little transshipment company be the master?
Yuan Jiang suddenly broke out: "Then the court will replace it!"

Wei Yingfang was taken aback, only then did he realize that Bachelor Yuan is still holding back a mouthful of resentment!
Are you still acting now?Cai Yanqing hurried out to smooth things over, "Scholar Yuan, be a little angry."

"I'm fine!" Yuan Jiang waved her hand angrily, took another deep breath, and said: "In this way, the third department can accurately know the specific situation of the relatively large amount of goods. In this way, buying cheap and selling expensive will not only make a profit, but also reduce expenses and consumption.”

The officials present nodded their heads one after another.

The reason why those cloths accumulate so much is because the transshipment department does not know the specific situation, and the accounts are too complicated, so it is difficult to know clearly. If it is those bulk commodities, it will make adjustments soon, and this situation will not happen again.

Yuan Jiang said again: "In addition, we decided to issue salt debts and salt banknotes before, and the court let me take charge of the Changping warehouse and preside over the Green Crop Law. The regular open warehouse is the principal, which is used for lending and trading of goods, so as to earn profits, which are used to pay the owed money and the interest on the salt debt.”

This time Cai Yanqing was stupid first, if all these were put together, it would be a super financial system.

Can this really work?

Even if he was like this, Wei Yingfang was even more dumbfounded. This was more terrifying than the account just now, and asked blankly: "Bachelor Yuan, can this be done?"

Yuan Jiang became excited again, "Then let the court change people. This is the only way I can do it. I just took office and gave me such a huge debt. If this doesn't work, that doesn't work, then I might as well go home and retire. "

Cai Yanqing suddenly came to his senses, thinking, this trick is really wonderful!First use the arrears of military expenses to let the court order to put pressure on us, and then use this matter to threaten the court in turn.What a master!

He was so excited that he almost opened his mouth to applaud!
Wei Yingfang also came to his senses, but in their view, Yuan Jiang is using his strength to fight, if you throw such a big debt to me, then I want power!

If you don't change people for you, let's see who dares to take over.

high!
They even forgot that they planned to use the public prosecutor's law to deal with the young crop law!
Wei Yingfang and the others cupped their hands and said, "Scholar Yuan's move is really clever!"
