Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 655

smuggled goods!

This is properly adulterated with private goods!

Who doesn't know that Liu Zhao is Zhao Xu's man, and who doesn't know that the big boss behind the Taxation Department is Zhao Xu.

From whom did the little emperor learn how to see through stitches.

Don't learn if you are good, just learn from this crooked way.

Because these ministers were all focused on debts before, they ignored the autumn tax on Jingdong East Road, and now they are also facing serious problems. At this time, Liu Zhao proposed to let the tax department go, which is also reasonable.

But this undoubtedly caught the ministers by surprise, and made the ministers dare not even refute, because as long as they refuted, the emperor would definitely let them solve the autumn tax issue.

It's a mess right now, and they are the makers. Who dares to take this job?

Zhao Xu could only succeed.

But no matter what, after this solution was implemented, both the reformists and conservatives, including Lu Huiqing, breathed a long sigh of relief.

What Zhao Xu said couldn't be simpler. You help him solve his problems and he helps you solve them.

It seems that it is a waste of work.

Why?

Pure internal friction.

But there is no way. Both factions have been resisting hard before, but at the same time they know in their hearts that if they continue to fight like this, they will really die together.

Even if Wang Anshi and Sima Guang wanted to continue biting each other, the officials who supported them would not agree.

Because at that time, they will definitely be arrested and questioned.

"Just right" Zhang Fei proposed that the government can also restructure its debts, which provides an opportunity for the two factions to borrow money.

"Junshi, I have to ask you to ask for debts. I am a soft-hearted person, and I really don't want to force the people to restructure their debts."

When he got out of the palace gate, Wang Anshi bowed his hands to Sima Guang.

Between the words, there is a gun with a stick, because Sima Guang has always demanded that the tax should be light and the tax should be light, and that he should not compete with the people for profit, but now the debt restructuring he supports is even more unfriendly to the people.

Sima Guang said with a chuckle: "How much money is owed by the common people? If you want it, if you want it, but the government has huge debts. It must be restructured. The imperial court can only make judgments and has no right to interfere with the government. You have to worry about it. Not to mention whether it will work or not, the key is how many people will be offended, there are quite a few officials in Qingzhou!"

The corner of Wang Anshi's mouth twitched, "Since it's difficult for everyone, why not compare and see who can finish first."

Sima Guang hesitated, "How do you want to compare?"

Wang Anshi said: "The ones that are completed later must carry the ones that are completed first and go to court."

Sima Guang waved his hands and said: "No comparison, no comparison."

"Scared?"

"That's not it."

"Then why?"

"Tasty!"

Sima Guang waved his big sleeve to his nose and went down the steps.

Wang Anshi was still stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Well, you little Sima, you are spreading rumors and slandering me here again, I...!"

Just as Xu Zun walked by, he grabbed Xu Zun and said, "Junshi kid spread rumors to slander me, Zhongtu, you have to sue him for me."

Xu Zun said awkwardly: "Jiefu, this is a civil lawsuit of yours, and it is not under the jurisdiction of our procuratorate. I still have something to do, so I will leave, I will leave."

Just as Xu Zun left, another person appeared from behind, "Xueshi Wang, what do you want to tell Mr. Junshi? If you don't mind, Zizhan is willing to help you."

I saw Su Shi groaning with a smile.

Wang Anshi glared at him, "Go away! You, the prosecutor general who doesn't even have an official office, stop joining in the fun. I might as well find an Erbi."

After all, he strode away.

Su Shi was so angry that he was shaking all over. Wang Jiefu, Sima Junshi, and that Zhang Xiaoerbi, I, Su Shi, will never let you go.

At this time, three old men secretly passed by. It was written by Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, and Lu Gong.

"How will we win or lose in this exchange?"

Wen Yanbo asked with a stroke.

Mr. Lu was laughing.

Wen Yanbo said: "Why is Uncle Hui laughing? Am I asking the wrong question?"

Lu Gong said: "I laugh at Wen Gong for forgetting that when the exemption tax was collected, we also had the same troubles."

Wen Yanbo suddenly realized, "Zhang San."

Lu Gong said: "That's exactly the case. If he is not here, the winner will be determined. Now that he is here, it is the same. No one knows the winner."

Wen Yanbo hummed: "Then Zhang San wins."

Fu Bi nodded and said: "It is true that he won, who told us to use their methods, but the loser may be someone else!"

As he spoke, he glanced back slightly.

Wen Yanbo and Lu Gong smiled and said nothing.

Without thinking about it, it is the majority of the opposition.

They originally expected that the reformists and conservatives would be destroyed together, but in the end, they were struck down by the knife.

This damn.!

What is the reason.

It is also impossible for them to accept the result willingly.

After these big guys left, there was a sudden uproar in the palace.

"Lv Xiaokan, the crisis in Qingzhou is a golden opportunity, how can we let it go easily." Meng Gansheng said unwillingly.

The rest of the people also nodded one after another.

Lu Huiqing sighed: "It's not my mentor who wants to do this, but it's just that we can't solve the problems in Qizhou and Dengzhou."

Pei Wendao: "This is actually easy to handle. After all, the people in Qizhou and other places owe the government money. Even if their interest is exempted, the government will still make money, but Qingzhou is different."

Lu Huiqing said: "It's not as simple as you think. Those people have already sued the procuratorate. If the procuratorate really investigates this matter, many people may be involved. In fact, we have no choice."

Zhao Wenzheng suddenly said: "But this is clearly a trap. How many people will have to be laid off during the debt restructuring in Qingzhou. Many of those people support the New Deal. In this way, many people will lose their support for the new law." .”

Lu Huiqing said: "Please rest assured that we will find a way to avoid debt restructuring. Even if we really need debt restructuring, we will find a way to keep those officials. If they can help us recover those debts, we can Take that money to save Qingzhou."

He has already talked about this point, so it is inconvenient for Meng Gansheng and others to say anything more.

They don't really care about those people who can't be laid off. They are very disappointed now. The expected death has not come, but a debt restructuring has ushered in. This is really terrible!

The contrast was so great that when they returned to Meng Qiansheng's house, they all suspected that they had been played.

"Could this be a trap?"

Pei Wen couldn't help questioning.

Xie Yun hurriedly asked, "What trap?"

Pei Wendao: "Wang Jiefu and Sima Jun really set up a trap. Think about it. In this way, the Public Prosecution Law and the Tax Department will directly implement it on Jingdong East Road, and the debt restructuring will also make the Public Prosecution Law even more fearful for the government."

At present, the best way to deal with the public security law is to focus on the overall situation and find financial reasons, and this case directly abolishes this reason.

As one ebbs and the other, the authority of the Public Security Bureau has undoubtedly been further extended.

Meng Gansheng said: "In this way, the Public Security Bureau has indeed won, but why did Wang Jiefu help Sima Junshi make a wedding dress? This is not good for the New Deal."

Pei Wen nodded and said: "That's true, the establishment of the Second Government Regulations Department did not gain much benefit."

Although Wang Anshi sincerely did not set up a bureau with Sima Guang, and judging from the results, Wang Anshi did not seem to have any advantage, but Wang Anshi pocketed the benefits from the beginning. After all, the Young Crop Law and the Exemption Law were fully implemented on Jingdong East Road.

Zhao Wenzheng immediately said: "Did you ignore someone?"

"Who?"

"Zhang San."

Zhao Wenzheng said: "The greater the power of the public prosecutor, the procuratorate, and the more popular the rule of law, Zhang San took advantage of it. He knows the rule of law best."

With the current system, ideology, and education, it is almost impossible for Zhang Fei to rise to the top. The rule of law is equivalent to a new track created by Zhang Fei, and no one can beat him on this track.

The more important this track is, the more people are running. Zhang Fei is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary.

Meng Gansheng nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right, that's right, it's all done by Zhang San, he is the biggest winner, Wang Jiefu and Sima Junshi were forced to do it, no wonder Zhang San didn't do it behind closed doors. It turned out that he wanted to use the Legislative Council to solve this problem."

"This stinky boy."

Pei Wendao: "I knew that there would be no good things for him to come back. We didn't know that it would come true so soon. We must not let that kid succeed. The debt restructuring plus the public prosecution is really terrible. We have to do whatever we want in the future." Be careful."

Meng Gansheng said: "It's not fair. The imperial court will go to most of the tax revenue every year, and only leave enough money for local governments. In some places, the money left is not enough to pay salaries."

Zhao Wenzheng said: "Since this is the case, the local officials should support us. I don't think Wang Jiefu can be relied on. We have to rely on ourselves."

Pei Wen hurriedly said, "What's Zhao Zongzheng thinking?"

Zhao Wenzheng said: "It's very simple. Use this matter to unite those officials who are opposed to the Public Security Bureau Law and the new law. If the Legislative Council passes this debt restructuring, it will be easy to get those local officials to ask the court to double the money left in the state. Otherwise, If so, who would dare to stay in the place under such harsh conditions.”

Although the solution has been decided, it is not an easy task to solve it, and the situation on Jingdong East Road is really very dangerous. If it cannot be resolved, then there will really be turmoil.

Therefore, this winter will definitely be endless for both Wang Anshi and Sima Guang.

Wangfu.

"Teacher, I just received a secret letter from Wang Shouming."

Lu Huiqing said: "According to what he said in the letter, Qingzhou's problem is very serious. If the court does not save it and must pay compensation, then the only way is to use debt restructuring."

Wang Anshi smiled coldly and said: "They are really ruthless in their attacks. They don't even leave any room. I don't know if they really want to deal with the public security organs or our new policies."

After finishing speaking, he asked Lu Huiqing again: "What do you think?"

Lu Huiqing said: "I think this is also good. We can let Wang Shouming try his best to negotiate with the public security bureau to see how to avoid debt restructuring. But with Fan Chunren's character, he will never compromise. Although the result has not changed, but At least let those officials see that the public security law forced us to carry out debt restructuring, and the wicked still have to let them do it.

When the debt reorganization made those officials panic, the mentor suggested to the imperial court to build colleges, hospitals, and residences to accommodate them. In this way, we can take the opportunity to win people's hearts. "

Wang Anshi nodded and said: "It coincides with what I think, so you can write this letter."

"Yes."

Lu Huiqing nodded, and said: "However, the construction of colleges, hospitals, and newspapers requires financial support from other state capitals, and it depends on whether Bachelor Sima can collect the money.

In fact, the problem in Qingzhou is just offending people, and it is not difficult to solve. On the contrary, the problems in other states are more complicated. "

Wang Anshi said: "They will find a way to solve it, there is no need for us to worry."

Lu Huiqing said: "Zhang San?"

Wang Anshi was taken aback for a moment, "How do you know?"

Lu Huiqing said with a smile: "Scholar Sima is not good at dealing with these debt problems, but Zhang San is indeed a master in this area."

Wang Anshi nodded, but there was worry in his eyes.

Sima's family.

"Su Zizhan, this man should be more open-minded. Don't act like a resentful woman all day long. You don't think it's embarrassing."

Sima Guang looked at Su Shi and laughed.

Su Shi said: "Xiangong Junshi and Wang Xianggong, as prime ministers, can tear down the roof of the imperial city for a trivial matter. Why should I, Su Shi, be embarrassed?"

"That's it! That's it!"

Sima Guang waved his hand, "When I am afraid of you, this time I will ask the officials to transfer you to Dengzhou to serve as the chief prosecutor. I promise that it will not be the same as in Yangzhou. What do you think?"

Su Shi's expression changed, "But as far as I know, these debts are indeed owed by the people to the government, but they are unable to repay them. This is really difficult to deal with."

Sima Guang said: "Don't worry, Zhang San will find a way to solve these problems."

Su Shi asked curiously, "What can he do?"

Sima Guang said: "I will tell you when the time is set."

About how to resettle those officials, Zhang Fei had already told Wang Anshi the plan. In fact, it was the public institutions who would resettle them. As for how to deal with these debts, Zhang Fei had also helped Sima Guang think of a way.

Otherwise, who would dare to gamble? In the final analysis, these problems still need to be solved.

Bianjing Law Firm.

But I saw Zhang Fei and Ma Tianhao sitting on both sides of the low table, with a pot of hot wine lying in between.

"Whenever you come to me at this time, I really feel flustered!"

Ma Tianhao looked at the wine in front of him without much interest.

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "But doesn't fourth brother enjoy this kind of feeling all the time?"

"Who said that?" Ma Tianhao snorted.

Zhang Fei asked with a smile, "Why doesn't Fourth Brother go to Hezhong Mansion?"

Ma Tianhao was stunned for a moment, "Didn't I say that I turned back because you came back."

Zhang Fei said: "But I'm back, what does it have to do with Fourth Brother going to Hezhong Mansion?"

Ma Tianhao said: "I just want to talk to you first before going over."

"is it?"

Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "Then why isn't fourth brother leaving now?"

Ma Tianhao said: "It's so cold outside and there's nothing urgent over there. Why should I leave now? I don't know if I can wait until next spring."

Seeing that there was nothing to say from the old fox's mouth, Zhang Fei simply said straightforwardly: "Isn't the fourth brother already planning to go to East Jingdong Road?"

Ma Tianhao immediately said: "I don't, don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Fei said: "But I am discussing this matter with Fourth Brother today."

Ma Tianhao said: "What does this have to do with us?"

Zhang Fei said: "I hope that the fourth brother will cooperate with the charity foundation and open a Jieku shop on Jingdong East Road."

Ma Tianhao said loudly: "If there is a public prosecution law, then it can be considered. After all, it is very successful in Hezhong Mansion, so it is worth a try!"

Zhang Fei added: "At the same time, we will acquire the debts of young crops on Jingdong East Road."

Ma Tianhao opened his eyes and said in horror: "Why? The court itself is not willing to pay, so why should we pay?"

Zhang Fei said: "Because it's profitable."

Ma Tianhao snorted: "Stop lying to me. The people have already come to the capital to make trouble. Those must be bad debts. Why do I want those bad debts? It's too much money."

Zhang Fei said: "Most of the debts on Jingdong East Road are not bad debts. As far as I know, there are people who made troubles, which caused such a big chaos. Now those people are waiting to fish in troubled waters, and then wantonly annex land, so here is Absolutely profitable."

Ma Tianhao naturally knew this way. As long as there is chaos and natural disasters, those big landlords can always take the opportunity to make a fortune. He hesitated a little, shook his head and said: "Although that is the case, we are not short of that little money. We have to take over this matter." , it’s too bad and the risk is high, so it’s better not to do it.”

Zhang Fei said: "However, Xiekupu can rely on these debts to establish a good relationship with local wealthy households and self-employed farmers, so that they can adapt to borrowing money from Xiekupu. This is of great benefit to the expansion of Xiekupu."

Ma Tianhao shook his head and said, "We can do it slowly, but we can also do it bigger."

Zhang Fei said: "Do it slowly. There are huge obstacles, and it may not be a big deal. I will also discuss with the public security bureau and ask the government to sell these debts at a low price."

Ma Tianhao blinked and asked, "How low?"

Zhang Fei said, "It counts as a profit."

Ma Tianhao said in a bad mood: "The sentimental government has to make some money from this bad debt. No one is willing to take over this price."

Zhang Fei said: "At the same time, I will also promote the cooperation between Xiekupu and Changping Division, just like in Hezhong Mansion. You know, there is the Qingmiao Law. If you don't cooperate with the government, you may be the enemy of the government. Even if there is It is far better to cooperate directly with the government if it is guaranteed by the public security law. And with the cooperation with the government, these debts will naturally become more secure, and I don’t need to pay too much money.”

Ma Tianhao seemed a little hesitant again, and said, "But Hezhong Mansion has salt."

Zhang Fei said: "East Jingdong Road also has sea salt, let's go there and see how it works, and there is also sea transportation over there, which is not available in Hezhong Prefecture."

Ma Tianhao said: "But shipping is too risky. If you are not careful, you will lose both your life and money."

Zhang Fei said: "But if it succeeds, given the scale of shipping, it will require a lot of money. Jiekupu will make a big difference. Maybe it won't succeed, but I think it's worth spending this little money to buy an opportunity." .”

Ma Tianhao pondered for a while and said, "In this way, we will only buy debts that we can repay."

He stayed in the capital, of course, to wait for the results of Jingdong East Road, because he knew that Zhang Fei came back to deal with this matter.

But he didn't expect to acquire these debts.

Zhang Fei said: "Bad debts have to be bought."

Seeing that he was so domineering, Ma Tianhao couldn't help being taken aback, and immediately said dissatisfied: "You are taking our money to buy your official career."

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Your little money can't buy me an official career. Fourth brother and I only talk about business, not politics."

Ma Tianhao said: "Don't talk about businessmen, even ordinary people will never be stupid enough to spend money to buy bad debts."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Ordinary people don't, but businessmen do, because businessmen are profit-seeking by nature. In fact, bad debts are where our profits lie. The price of acquiring those bad debts must be lower than the value of the debt itself, but it can't be used How long will it take for them to be able to pay it back and we will make a fortune out of it."

Ma Tianhao asked: "How do you say that?"

Zhang Fei said: "Because it won't be long before there will be a lot of construction work there, and this requires manpower. Those people will be able to find a livelihood and be able to repay. In Hezhong Mansion, this is what we do."

Ma Tianhao's eyes lit up and said, "Really?"

Big construction, he likes, the bigger the better.

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "But don't say anything about it."

Ma Tianhao said: "If this is the case, I can think about it."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "What are you still thinking about? When did I introduce you to a loss-making business?"

Sima's family.

"Scholar Sima, don't worry, I've already negotiated with the Ma Family and the Charity Foundation. If we can establish a public security law there to ensure their rights and interests, they are willing to buy those young crop debts from the government, and the government will soon be able to Get out of it."

"You can even convince them?"

Sima Guang couldn't help being overjoyed.

If there is a third party involved, then the public security and the law should not be too easy. This conflict between the government and the people will directly turn into a commercial behavior.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "This is my promise to Bachelor Sima, how can I make a mistake?"

Sima Guang said: "But there are problems involved here, not just debt problems."

Zhang Fei said: "But if we settle this account with those officials, they will definitely not let Qingzhou go."

"I don't mean that."

Sima Guang said: "It's very complicated, it involves a lot of people, and the public prosecutor's law is based on fairness and justice, if the sentence is not good, people may take advantage of it, and it will cause problems.

Therefore, I hope you will personally preside over the overall situation. I can arrange this manpower, but they may not be good at dealing with these problems. Anyway, you have nothing to do in the capital now. "

In the past, the judiciary generally did not involve debts. The people follow private contracts, and the government has political laws. This wave is all about debts, and the structure is very complicated. Although the people he arranges are capable, they have no experience in this area. .

I have two pregnant women at home. What are you thinking when you ask me to go on a business trip?Zhang Fei immediately said: "Before there were rumors that the Hezhong Mansion was my personal success and had nothing to do with the public security and law enforcement. Xueshi Wang even mentioned this matter in the court. If I were to go, even if I succeeded, it would be a shame. .”

Sima Guang was still a little worried.

Zhang Fei added: "As long as the Ma family and the charitable foundation intervene, the debts on Jingdong East Road will not be so complicated. In fact, the public security bureau only needs to negotiate with the government and the charitable foundation."

As he said that, he took out a plan and handed it to Sima Guang, "This is a compensation plan formulated based on the cases currently accepted by the procuratorate, and Jingdong East Road will refer to this plan when the time comes.

As long as the charitable foundation takes over the debts of the government, then for the public prosecutors and the law, it is to deal with private debt disputes, and the government is not involved, so it can be fair and just.

At the same time, charitable funds will not force the people to repay immediately. They will extend the debt period, and then give the people enough time. pay off those debts. "

Sima Guang took it over and said with a smile, "Since you really don't want to go, then I won't force you."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It's not that I don't want to, but it's not difficult. They can handle it and build their confidence. But I still say that, Bachelor Sima will try to choose some people with good moral character to go."

"Of course."

Sima Guang nodded, and then said again: "You are not trying to please me, are you? Or, you are like that Su Zizhan, trying to ridicule me by not arranging people to go to Hezhong Mansion in time."

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and said: "Of course not, I strongly support the idea of ​​Bachelor Sima, the law requires rigor, courage, and compliance with rules, which coincides with virtue, and this can be regarded as the master of virtue and the assistant of law. "

Sima Guang's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "The Virtuous Lord Fafu? Well, next time Duke Wen and the others mock me again, that's what I'll say."

Zhang Fei said: "Dong Wen and the others often satirize Bachelor Sima on this matter?"

Sima Guang coughed, "I heard that Mrs. Ling is pregnant."

".!"

Having said that, Sima Guang's worries were not out of mediocrity. If Ma Tianhao and the others were to buy those debts directly, it would not be so easy. After all, it was too complicated and involved too many people.

But most of the debt is in the hands of Zhang Fei, but it looks complicated to outsiders. If Zhang Fei wants to handle it personally, it is very simple. It is equal to the left hand and the right hand, and all can be transferred to Ma Tianhao at any time.

At the same time, this can be regarded as helping Zhao Xu to cash out, after all, Zhao Xu is also a small money fan, and his money cannot be delayed for too long.

Of course, if Zhang Fei can use this sum of money to make more money, then Zhao Xu will also be willing.

But this is obviously not feasible. If Zhang Fei directly uses this debt to operate, both Wang Anshi and Sima Guang will see something fishy.

This matter must not be revealed. Wang Anshi never thought that someone would secretly purchase these debts and cause a storm. This matter may only be handled by the emperor, but who would have thought that the emperor would end up personally and cause his own rebellion.

Wang Anshi always believed that it was planned by the conservatives.

But Sima Guang and the others were actually just adding fuel to the flames, but they were not the ones who lit the fire, but Sima Guang didn't doubt it, because it was exactly what he expected.

But if your debts are concentrated, fools will know that this must be transferred to a professional institution, and then the money can be operated openly.

Therefore, Zhang Fei decided early in the morning to let the charitable foundation take over the offer.
