Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 585 Prohibition

Chapter 585 Prohibition

Although this dude is definitely not in vain.

But what Wang Anshi insisted on was his own opinion, that is, his financial policy.

He believes that the only way to save the Song Dynasty is to save money, because Fan Zhongyan has already tried to save money.

But it doesn't mean that he thinks that his new laws and regulations are perfect. You must know that he has set up a relative interest officer in the Department of Regulations of the Second Government, who is responsible for supervising the implementation of the new laws in various places.

In history, he is also constantly adjusting new laws and regulations according to specific situations.

It would be absolutely impossible for him to withdraw the Green Sprouts Law, but if you make corresponding adjustments, as long as what you say makes sense, he will not be stubborn.

But the current situation of Hezhong Mansion made him feel that Zhang Fei's plan was undoubtedly the most appropriate.

Royal Palace.

"Your Majesty, just this morning, Xueshi Wang sent a fast horse. According to the route, it should go to Hezhong Mansion."

The servant Tian Gui came to the study and reported to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, "Mr. sent someone to reply so quickly, he should have accepted Zhang San's suggestion."

After all, he let out a long sigh.

The servant Tian Gui couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty stayed up all night, didn't you just wait for Xueshi Wang's response, now that Xueshi Wang has sent a letter to Hezhong Mansion, why is Your Majesty still sighing?"

Zhao Xu glanced at him and asked, "Tian Gui, when did you enter the palace?"

Tian Gui hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the servant girl entered the palace at the age of ten."

Zhao Xu asked again: "Is it also because of a poor family?"

Tian Guimu nodded: "Yes."

Zhao Xu continued to ask: "If someone lent money to your family at that time, they would only charge one cent of interest. Can your family survive the difficulties?"

Tian Gui thought for a moment, "It's probably impossible. There is no wind or rain, and our family can't live on. How can we pay interest."

"Yes!"

Zhao Xu nodded: "I didn't think of such a simple truth. Alas, you can't have both. You want to help the people, but at the same time earn money from the people and improve the country's finances. This is almost impossible. It’s possible. No wonder Zhang San always avoided talking about the new law before, but he has already seen the disadvantages of the new law.”

The letters Zhang Fei wrote to Wang Anshi and Zhao Xu were of course different. He and Wang Anshi mainly talked about the policy, and did not talk much about the disadvantages of the Green Crop Law.

However, in the letter to Zhao Xu, he not only explained the countermeasures, but also informed the disadvantages of the young crop method.

This kept Zhao Xu awake all night.

He couldn't avoid this very simple math problem.

Tian Gui said: "That's not true. People get help and live a good life, so they can help the country improve its finances."

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Then I just asked you, and you said no."

Tian Guidao: "Our family is different. If you lend money to our family, you can only tide over the difficulties for a while, and you still won't make progress in the next year."

Zhao Xu sighed, "Nine out of ten people in the world are like your family."

Tian Gui was also confused, and couldn't help saying: "Then what should we do?"

Zhao Xu pondered for a long time, and slowly said four words, "Don't use Qianlong."

And the current situation in the Hezhong Mansion has become extremely strange. It is obviously an undercurrent and turbulent, and everyone is in danger. It seems that it has reached the eve of the storm, but on the surface, they are still developing in a good direction.

Especially in terms of disarmament, the fight over there was fierce, but the disarmament was still in full swing, without too much interference, and it did not cause any confusion.

In fact, many people are dissatisfied with this, but due to the current complicated situation, everyone dare not act rashly, for fear that they will detonate the powder keg by themselves, and they will not be smashed to pieces.

It seems that this time it is Wang Shao and Guo Kui's turn to make a fortune in silence, and the two are also very low-key, pretending to be very busy all day long, and ignore the outside fights.

"The weather is nice today, why don't we go for a walk first."

Wang Shao, who came out of the barracks, glanced at the sky, and then said to Guo Kui.

Guo Kui said, "Please."

The two walked along the path towards the city.

"I didn't expect that this disarmament would go so smoothly." Guo Kui said with a relaxed smile.

But Wang Shao said: "Don't be careless for now!"

Suddenly, a brass bell sounded from afar.

The two raised their eyes to look, but saw a grain team coming on the mountain road in the distance.

Wang Shao saw that the person in charge of the grain was a government servant in uniform, and he couldn't help saying: "These should be the taxes and grains handed over by those big landlords."

Guo Kui laughed and said: "It seems that the tax money this year is only a lot more than last year!"

Where can I see this scene before.

Wang Shao sighed: "If those big landlords are like this every year, why worry about poor finances."

Guo Kui said: "But next year, the Hezhong Mansion will definitely be much easier. If the disarmament can meet the expectations, nearly half of it can be cut, and there are enough taxes and food. It will be very easy to go in and out!"

Wang Shao said with a sad face: "Don't look at everything is going smoothly, but it is actually full of crises. Think about it, how many things are going on in Hezhong Mansion now, such as the dispute between the transfer department and the big landlord, the dispute between the patriarchal clan and the law, The dispute between the police station and the government office, if we are not careful, everything we have done today may be in vain!"

Guo Kui said carelessly: "What's the use of thinking so much, let's just do what we have to do. Success or failure is beyond your control."

Regardless of his background as a general, he knew very clearly that in the final analysis, this was still a battle between the old and the new, and it was difficult for them to control the direction of this battle.

Wang Shao glanced at him, pondered a little, nodded and smiled and said, "You're right, it's useless to think about it, we should concentrate on stabilizing the army, no matter what, we can't let their fight affect the disarmament."

The harm of three redundancy is the root of the problem.

And disarmament is to prescribe the right medicine and discuss the facts as they stand. This is more important than the New Deal, and it can immediately improve the country's finances.

The development of the imperial court today is also very similar to the strange situation in the Hezhong Mansion. On the surface, it is thriving. As the Four Little King Kongs gradually gain a foothold, the civil imperial court opens trials almost every day, becoming a daily institution and a prostitute. The daily leisure and entertainment of Aunt Cai and Uncle Cai.

The buildings outside were also completed, and the big dog's tavern was finally moved from the shed to the house.

The Legal Aid Department, various bookstores, and law schools have also been built, and they should all be delivered before the cold winter arrives.

But it is also in danger.

Among them is the law school that has been under construction. After Zhang Fei's prestige before, many young scholars signed up for the law school with great expectations.

But like the wave of lawsuits ahead, it can go as fast as it comes.

"How many people left?"

Zhang Fei asked Cai Jing with a depressed expression.

Cai Jing said, "There are only eight people left."

Zhang Fei frowned and said, "Do they have such a big influence?"

Cai Jingdao: "Students think that this has nothing to do with their influence. It's just that everyone hopes to return to their roots in the future. Therefore, they use the ancestral hall to secretly threaten those scholars. Naturally, those scholars dare not come to the law school to enroll. The only thing left is The eight people are all sons of merchants, and none of them are natives of Hezhong Prefecture."

In the Northern Song Dynasty, filial piety was the first priority. Who would dare to study at the risk of being expelled from the clan.

It can be seen that although those country gentry are fighting against the Youth Law on the surface, they are secretly encircling and suppressing the Public Security Law in all aspects, and their influence is everywhere.

This caused Zhang Fei a bit of a headache. After all, he couldn't stay in Hezhong Mansion forever, and the Public Procuratorate had to expand to the entire Shaanxi Road. This law school was directly related to the current expansion of the Public Procuratorate and whether it could continue to develop in Hezhong Mansion in the future.

But he couldn't do anything about it, and said: "Since there are only eight people left, the four of you should choose two to be your assistants first, let them familiarize themselves with the official affairs of the imperial court first, and wait until the law school is completed."

"Students know."

Cai Jing nodded, and said again: "By the way, the students heard from the police station that the branch of the police station in front of the village gate has also been harassed by some rascals in the village in recent days, as if hoping to stir up trouble with the police station. "

A flash of anger flashed in Zhang Fei's eyes, "It seems that they are all out of ideas, and they all used such indecent means. But for the time being, we have to bear with it, and we can't have disputes with them. Their unity It won't last long. You go to the police station and tell Master Fu that if it really doesn't work, you should transfer back to rest for a while, and you must not have conflicts with them. "

Cai Jing murmured, "Since we want to withdraw, we might as well follow the plan."

Zhang Fei glanced at him, "What do you say?"

Cai Jing hesitated for a moment, then said: "According to what I know about the servants in the village, most of them are just dawdling, not trying their best to maintain the law and order in the village. If there are more and more incidents of thieves and robbers in the village after the Royal Police withdraw, The villagers will definitely defect."

Zhang Fei said: "We are judicial officials."

Cai Jing was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Yes, the students know they are wrong."

"It's not your fault."

Zhang Fei said in a relaxed tone: "It's them who are aggressive. But you have to understand that this is their territory, and we may not be able to beat them with this kind of tricks."

Seeing that Zhang Fei didn't blame him, Cai Jing breathed a sigh of relief, "Students must remember the teacher's teachings in their hearts."

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.

He didn't mind that Cai Jing played some crooked ways, because he put Cai Jing in charge of foreign affairs to make use of his talents in this area.

Wei Fu!

"He Yanjian, you have been following Yuan Xueshi recently, what is he planning, why is there no movement at all."

Wei Yingfang asked He Chunlin anxiously.

Yuan Jiang's harsh words had already been let out, and the other party also refused without mercy. As a result, Yuan Jiang remained silent for the past few days.

This..

He Chunlin sighed: "I asked, and Bachelor Yuan said that he must think of a legitimate reason, otherwise, it will not be convincing."

Wei Yingfang excitedly said: "They are clearly targeting the Young Crop Law, isn't that justified enough?"

He Chunlin was not sure: "Maybe it's because the other party didn't say anything clearly."

At this moment, a knife and pen official came into the house and whispered something in Wei Yingfang's ear.

"really?"

Wei Yingfang said happily.

The swordsman nodded.

Cao Yi hurriedly asked: "Wei Tongjue, what's the matter?"

Wei Yingfang said with a chuckle: "This big fish has been hooked. Just now, Bachelor Cai Yuan went to the prefect Cai and decided to prohibit them from lending at low interest rates on the grounds that the patriarchal clan has no right to stipulate interest."

Cao Yi asked excitedly, "Are you sure?"

Wei Yingfang nodded and said: "Prefect Cai has already agreed, and has sent people to draw up relevant decrees. I believe that after a while, he will come to me to discuss it."

He Chunlin heaved a long breath of relief, trembling his lips, "It's a fight! It's a fight!"
