Chapter 645 The three-year period has come
This layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the doorway.
Fu Bi, who has been studying Zhang Fei's case in the Legislative Council, knows in his heart that Zhang Fei's success in Hezhong Mansion is not as simple as everyone imagined.
It's not about how exquisite the trial was, or how exquisite the sentence was, but in the final execution.
Who doesn't know that those cases are all the government's fault, and the government should bear the main responsibility. The most reasonable way is for the government to pay compensation, but there are not many people in the world who dare to ask the government to pay compensation, including him, Fu Bi.
Because he understands that even if the sentence is passed, the government will not be able to pay the compensation, and you are really thinking too much about letting the court spit out money.
If you can't pay, and you make a judgment like this, then the public prosecutor's law is over.
But Zhang Fei did it.
The trick is to eat more than enough food without money, and issue salt debts and salt money.
Fan Chunren knew very well that he also wanted to live without food, but the small scale of sea salt in Qingzhou was enough for self-sufficiency, and it was impossible to pay the salt debt.
Therefore, he suggested laying off officials, as long as next year's expenditure can be reduced, they can eat enough food without money, and for the Song Dynasty, the significance will be far-reaching.
But the problem is, who dares to touch this cake?
Zhang Fei only disarmed the troops in the Hezhong Mansion, and he didn't even dare to touch the privileges of the officials. He threatened not to settle the old accounts, but in fact he didn't pursue the responsibilities of the officials, and those responsibilities were all placed on the officials.
Of course, this is also an assist for Yuan Jiang's reform. If it is a human problem, then just get rid of the person. As long as it is proved to be a system problem, there is a reason for reform. Those officials also know in their hearts that if it is not a system problem, it must be me. The problem forced them to support Yuan Jiang.
Wen Yanbo, Lu Gongzhu, and Sima Guang all believe that there is no basis for laying off officials.
Whoever wants to lay off officials is making enemies of all officials. The reformists over there are trying to win people's hearts. If you do this at this time, it is really a gift to the other party.
But if he didn't do this, Fan Chunren would not be able to follow Zhang Fei's legal precedent, and those cases would not be tried, which is exactly what Wang Anshi said, the public security law cannot be played without the support of the New Deal.
The only solution is to quickly call Zhang Fei back.
You set up the archway a little too high, and your precedent, not even the chief judge, has to be followed, so it can only be resolved by you.
So Sima Guang and Fu Bi acted separately.
Sima Guang stepped up to send people to Qingzhou, and Fu Bi went to discuss with Zhao Xu. In the past two or three years, the imperial court of Hezhong Mansion has created hundreds of cases based on the rule of law, many of which are controversial. This is uncertain, and Zhang Fei needs to come back and explain in person, just as Zhang Fei's three-year term of office is about to expire.
Zhao Xu readily agreed.
But the matter spread quickly, and there were more than 20 memorials on that day to prevent Zhang Fei from returning to Beijing.
He said that Zhang Fei did a good job in Hezhong Mansion, and that the Public Procuratorate has not yet completed the construction on Shaanxi Road, and his task has not been completed, and he will be called back later.
The dignitaries in the capital think very simply, anyway, Shaanxi Road has already been harmed by Zhang Fei, so don’t come back and harm us, just use that piece of land to encircle Zhang Fei and consume him slowly.
In the past, that kid was an Erbi, and he could make them burn out, but now he is the president of the court. If he comes back, it will be hard for everyone.
The key to the current situation is very favorable to them.
Fu Bi is also very shrewd. He said that there is no need to remove Zhang Fei from his post as chief judge of Shanxi Road. His return is only a requirement of the Legislative Council, because these cases, once passed by the Legislative Council, need to be popularized nationwide. This is not a trivial matter. A small loss is a big deal.
In the end, Zhao Xu accepted Fu Bi's suggestion and ordered Zhang Fei to come back first to cooperate with the work of the Legislative Council.
The Department of Regulations of the Second Government was established.
"Men, they asked Zhang San to come back this time, it must be for Qingzhou."
Lu Huiqing said: "I heard that Fan Chunren and the others encountered a lot of trouble in Qingzhou. It was agreed at the beginning that they could not use Zhang San on this matter. Although this time they only transferred Zhang San to return to Beijing, once Zhang San becomes The chief judge of Bianjing has the authority to govern Qingzhou, and they are simply cheating."
Wang Anshi nodded: "I don't know, but we have tried our best. Besides, this matter is a public statement, and it is the Legislative Council in name. I can't refuse it, but I believe that Zhang San is still loyal to me."
Lu Huiqing said: "Although Zhang San has always been loyal to his mentor, his current achievements are all dependent on the Public Prosecution Law. If the Public Prosecution Law is abolished, it will be of no benefit to him. My mentor has to guard against this."
Wang Anshi asked, "Then what do you say?"
Lu Huiqing said: "Master, please write a letter and ask him to return slowly. I don't think Fan Chunren can hold on for long. The longer it is delayed, the better for us. Moreover, if he comes back slowly, he will not be caught again. Between my mentor and Bachelor Sima, I am in a dilemma."
Wang Anshi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay! You will write this letter yourself."
"Yes."
"but.."
Wang Anshi suddenly thought about it.
Lu Huiqing said, "But what?"
Wang Anshi said thoughtfully: "However, this matter can be used, and the anger of Sima Jun is real."
"???"
The next day.
Sima Guang had just arrived in the imperial city when he met a person he least wanted to see.
Wang Anshi.
"Ha ha.!"
Seeing Sima Guang, Wang Anshi laughed.
When Sima Guang saw Wang Anshi's humble appearance, he knew what he wanted to fart, so he ignored him, pretending he didn't see it, and went straight inside.
Wang Anshi was not willing to give up, and chased after him, he laughed and said, "I have already said that your judicial reform is inseparable from Zhang San. Without Zhang San, your public security and law enforcement will be a mess."
Sima Guang said: "The official transferred Zhang San back, it's just a normal transfer, you don't have to make use of it here and make insinuations."
Wang Anshi chuckled and said, "Really? Just when Qingzhou was in trouble over there, Mr. Fu suggested transferring Zhang San back to the capital. How could it be such a coincidence? Let's ask someone casually to see if they believe it or not." .”
Sima Guang was also pressed by this guy, "That's better than you, at least I didn't violate the original agreement, I just transferred Zhang San back to the capital, and didn't transfer him to Qingzhou, what a villain like you, upside down It is black and white, and it is shameless to take credit from others."
Wang Anshi immediately said: "The incident in Qingzhou this time can prove who took the credit for whom. In the same case, in the Hezhong Mansion, because of the cooperation of the New Deal, the issuance of salt bills and salt debts made the trial of the public prosecutor's law change. It must be effective, but now there is no new policy in Qingzhou, I want to see how you can try these cases."
These words made Sima Guang really don't know how to refute, he just said: "Then let's wait and see."
Wang Anshi smiled and said: "Do you still have to wait and see? This is a clear matter. In the final analysis, these problems are all because the state's finances cannot make ends meet. If you don't solve this problem, you can't solve any problems. Why can't you figure it out."
Sima Guang said: "You are right. It is precisely because the finances cannot make ends meet that the government desperately exploits the people, which leads to these problems. We are courtiers and must solve these problems. And what you do is to continue to increase the intensity of exploitation. , to collect more wealth from the hands of the people to solve the financial problem, is this the solution to the problem?"
Wang Anshi said: "You are really superficial. I don't want to intensify the exploitation of the people, but to reduce the burden on the people. I just talk about the young crop law. If I really talk about the exploitation, I also take food from the mouths of those landlords, and they get less. , the people’s burden is lightened, and the government’s finances are increased. If you are capable, you will let those officials, gentry and landlords take more money to solve financial problems. If you can do it, I will be a cow and a horse for you .”
"Deceiving yourself."
Sima Guang waved his hand, "I'm too lazy to tell you."
Wang Anshi hummed: "I'm too lazy to explain to you because I'm stubborn."
Without Zhang Fei's lubricant, it would be almost impossible for the two of them to meet each other without quarreling.
Over there, Wang Anshi's letter and Zhao Xu's imperial decree came to Hezhong Mansion one after the other.
"It seems that Qingzhou is really in trouble."
Xu Zhiqian was very worried.
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Finance is the root of all evil. It is not so easy to mix brothels and erect archways."
Xu Zhiqian immediately glared at him.
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Sorry! Sorry! I learned badly from Yanei and the others."
"I don't know who taught who badly."
Xu Zhiqian muttered in a low voice, and then asked: "Then what should we do now, Bachelor Sima and the others hope that you will go back sooner, but Bachelor Wang hopes that you will go back later."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Of course I will go back later. Didn't I say that they have to be pushed into a desperate situation before the two sides can compromise. Now that I go back, I can only suffer from splints. It's a thankless thing. Just don't do it."
Xu Zhiqian said: "Then how will we explain to Bachelor Sima?"
Zhang Fei said: "The imperial decree of the government is very clear, let me deal with the affairs of the Hezhong Mansion before returning. In fact, we do have a lot of affairs that have not been dealt with, such as the "Lantian Township Treaty", and the future public security law. Matters concerning popularization of Shaanxi Road.”
Xu Zhiqian said: "About the "Lantian Township Covenant", it seems to be a little bit different from your prediction, and it did cause some divisions, but it was just that some people moved to the city, and there are only five villages in the entire Hezhong Prefecture. I am willing to accept it, and these five villages are all on the edge of Yanchi."
Zhang Fei hehe said: "Nine times out of ten, things in this world are unsatisfactory. The truth is like this, so let's do it this way."
Xu Zhiqian asked: "Will you give up like this?"
Zhang Fei glanced at her, "My purpose is to let them set up a township committee to facilitate the management of the public security bureau. I only care about the etiquette, but generally speaking, the purpose has been achieved, but it is not perfect."
Xu Zhiqian also thought that this township agreement was very good, but after what Zhang Fei said, he was a little worried, and asked, "Will this affect the public prosecutor's law?"
"To be honest, I don't really know."
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "At first, I imagined that the township committee would be a supplement to the public security law. Obviously they are unwilling to accept this seat. They still want to strive for more autonomy, but they can also supplement the public security law. So, in the end Okay, we have to observe for a while before we talk about it, let’s talk about it if something goes wrong."
The husband and wife were chatting when Yuan Jiang came suddenly.
Seeing Zhang Fei, Yuan Jiang couldn't help sighing, "The officials are a little too anxious. Originally, the situation on Shaanxi Road was very good. Now that you leave, it will add another change."
For him, the situation was already completely in his hands, but the emperor wanted to transfer Zhang Fei away again.
Who will you cooperate with in the future!
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I think it doesn't matter whether I stay or not."
"who said it!"
Yuan Jiang said: "Currently, only Hezhong Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture have established public security laws. It is still unknown whether the tax department will be successful in the second year. This is closely related to you, so it doesn't matter."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "But I have already set the rules, everyone just follow the rules. The key point is that the finances of Hezhong Mansion will definitely increase steadily, which can make many complicated problems easier.
It’s like collecting taxes last year. Many businessmen paid taxes truthfully. It’s not that they are willing to pay taxes, but because they think they can earn more this year, so they don’t want to lose big because of small things. If there is a problem, they should wait until the finances stop. After growing up, now I stay here, but there is nothing to do. "
The money bag becomes more and more full, and no one will care about the bumps and bumps. On the contrary, even if you are walking on the road, you will feel that the road is uneven.
Only the wallet can determine the attitude of life.
Yuan Jiang nodded slightly, and asked again: "Then after you leave, who should we negotiate with?"
"Cai Jing!"
Zhang Fei said: "I have sent a letter to Jingzhao Mansion to ask Cai Jing to come back immediately."
Yuan Jiang frowned and said, "Is this person trustworthy?"
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Scholar Yuan only needs to discuss with him how to solve the problem, instead of having a heart-to-heart relationship with him."
Yuan Jiang said: "If he reveals it, what should we do?"
Zhang Fei said: "This time, that time. In the past, it was difficult for you and me, and we didn't have a firm foothold. Naturally, we had to sneak around to discuss things, but it's different now. The situation is so good now that everyone has scruples and no one I am willing to let such a good political achievement slip away from my hands, and the rules have already been set, so it is understandable for Bachelor Shi Yuan to discuss with Cai Jing for political achievements, or Cai Jing to come to discuss with you."
"It makes sense! It makes sense!"
Yuan Jiang nodded with a smile, "You are young, but you can see more clearly than anyone else. Which famous teacher do you worship?"
Zhang Fei opened his mouth and said, "Of course I learned this from my father-in-law. Can Bachelor Sima teach me this?"
Yuan Jiang chuckled, "The next time I see Xu Zhongtu, I'll just tell him that."
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Bachelor Yuan, you can't betray me!"
Soon, the news that Zhang Fei was going back to Beijing spread throughout Hezhong Mansion.
Immediately panicked.
The people of Hezhong Mansion seem to be unable to accept a Hezhong Mansion without Zhang Fei.
Many wealthy businessmen also came to the door one after another, asking what was going on.
At present, everyone firmly believes that people take political positions, because it has happened countless times. If you change to a good official, everyone will relax for a while.
Zhang Fei had no choice but to explain in the legal newspaper that he was not transferred away, but just went back to explain to the Legislative Council that he had made a case in Hezhong Mansion. He is still the chief judge of Shaanxi Road, and he will come back when the time comes. Everyone It can be understood as going home to visit relatives.
The common people are right to think about it, Chief Judge Zhang has been staying in Hezhong Mansion all the time, and he has never been back, so he should go back to visit his relatives.
This is of course a lie, just to appease the people of Hezhong Mansion. Although the imperial decree also said so, Zhang Fei also knew in his heart that he would not be able to come back immediately when he went back this time, but he believed that the people of Hezhong Mansion would soon come back. The people will get used to the public prosecutor's law without Zhang Fei.
However, what's interesting is that those country gentry were also panicked, because the Public Procuratorate Law is already an established fact, and there is currently no possibility of abolishing it.Based on this, they believe that Zhang Fei is conducive to promoting rural self-government. If another person comes up, whether they can accept the "Lantian Township Treaty" is hard to say. .
Therefore, they rushed to the door and handed over the "Lantian Township Covenant".
Just as Dagou and the others expected, almost all the villages accepted the "Lantian Township Covenant" one after another. Zhang Fei kept his promise and agreed one by one.
After passing the imperial court's filing, the "Lantian Township Covenant" officially gained legal status.
The only few villages that did not accept it were actually near Yanchi. These villages were not mainly farming, but business-oriented, and they preferred direct management by the public security bureau.
It can be seen from this that the "Lantian Township Covenant" is mainly aimed at farming, and is not suitable for profit-seeking businessmen.
Therefore, many people who devoted themselves to business simply sold their fields and moved directly to the city. After all, there are too many restrictions on ethics and ethics. Said that this is their freedom, but they will definitely be excluded.
So far, the Hezhong Prefecture has finally established a new political structure with public security laws.
In the past, it was just a separation of politics and law, but there were no corresponding rules to standardize the law and rural law. However, this is not an era of urban industrialization, and the village is the root.
After dealing with the matter, Zhang Fei still did not leave in a hurry, but waited for Cai Jing to come back.
"I heard that the teacher is going back to Beijing."
When Cai Jing hurried back to see Zhang Fei, he didn't care about saluting, so he asked out of breath.
Zhang Fei nodded.
Cai Jing asked, "What happened?"
This was so sudden, and now that his official career has been tied to Zhang Fei, can he not be nervous?
Zhang Fei didn't hide from him, and said: "It's not clear yet, we have to wait until we go back to find out, but you have to remember that for us, Shaanxi Road is very important, and the achievements of Shaanxi Road are for us. The greatest support for public security law.”
Cai Jing nodded and said, "Teacher, please rest assured that the students will definitely do their best."
"Of course I believe you."
Zhang Fei nodded with a smile, and said: "At present, we have established a foothold in Jingzhao Mansion, but our purpose is to popularize the public security law in Shaanxi Road. Our task is not yet completed. For the imperial court, Cai Bian, Shangguan Jun, Ye Zuqia and the others are in charge. And you are in charge of popularizing the Public Prosecution Law. I have left you two tricks here, and you can use them according to the specific situation.”
Cai Jing immediately sat upright and listened attentively.
Zhang Fei said: "The first is the Taxation Department. On the surface, the Taxation Department seems to rely on the Public Security Law, but in fact it is not the case. In fact, the Public Security Law is restraining the Taxation Department. If there is no Public Security Law, the Taxation Department will get more.
And finance is what the court cares most about. The tax department has performed so well. In order to seek finances, the court will inevitably let the tax department quickly enter other counties and counties, and this is our opportunity for public security.
Those dignitaries must understand that if there is no public security law, they will be torn apart alive by the tax department, and there is no way to fight back. Once the tax department goes, they will inevitably ask the public security law to go too. This is our chance.
It's just that you have to discuss it with Cai Bian and the others to see if they are ready, or you can discuss it with the tax department, and then play it by ear. "
Cai Jing nodded and said, "Students understand."
Zhang Fei added: "The next step is public opinion, which is the situation before the Jingzhao Mansion, and this situation is actually something we can control. You have to keep an eye on the changes in public opinion in nearby state capitals, and I will also make special arrangements. There is one person to assist you."
Cai Jing had already understood this move, and confidently accepted it, and suddenly asked: "Then how should we deal with the "Lantian Township Covenant"?"
"This matter!" Zhang Fei pinched his forehead and said, "It's very simple, you can deal with it according to the rules."
Cai Jingdao: "But they did this obviously to resist the public prosecutor's law. If they get along with each other in the future, conflicts may arise."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "They may have such an idea, but the original intention of establishing the township committee is what our public security bureau is pursuing."
Cai Jing still seemed unwilling, "But in the long run, it's still not good for us. Once the people unite with them, they will have the ability to suppress the public prosecutor's law. In many matters, their opinions may prevail."
He still hopes to be stronger and completely suppress those squires.
Zhang Fei said: "You have to remember that our foundation is not the public security law, but the law of the rule of law. The idea of the law of the rule of law is to defend the legitimate rights and interests of individuals. If we can abide by this principle, they will still want to build on this basis. , to win the hearts and minds of the people, it may be necessary for everyone to be impartial, but do you think they can do it?"
Cai Jing shook his head without thinking.
Zhang Fei said: "So as long as we do our part well, they won't be able to win."
Cai Jing suddenly realized that what everyone cares about most must be their own rights and interests. This is human nature, and the Public Prosecution Law was born for this. This is exactly the opposite of many ideas of ethics. Based on human nature, in the long run, the Public Prosecution Law still has advantages. As long as we stick to this principle, the people will definitely turn to the public security system.
The premise is that you can't mess around.
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "You guys work hard here, and when everything is stable, I will transfer you all to the capital."
Cai Jing was immediately elated. He must be promoting them when he returned to Beijing. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "The students will definitely live up to the teacher's kindness."
After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something again, "That's right! Then Master Fu asked me to ask the teacher, when will they go back? Or go back with the teacher?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "Didn't the yamen ask?"
Cai Jing shook his head and said, "No, Ya Nei seems to be quite happy over there."
It's really not too fun to live without my father taking care of me.
Zhang Fei said: "You tell Fu Shichun that I will go back to find out the situation first, and let them go back after the situation is stable."
As far as the police station is concerned, Cao Dongdong and the others are still needed to stay here.
Cai Jing nodded, and said: "Teacher, you have to be very careful when you go here."
"Thank you for your concern, I will pay attention." Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.
After explaining all this, Zhang Fei finally embarked on his return journey. The family took advantage of the night, under Gao Wenyin's yearning gaze, and quietly left Hezhong Mansion.
At this time, more than a month has passed since Zhao Xu's imperial edict was received.
At this time, the first wave of people sent by Sima Guang had already arrived in Qingzhou. However, when Fan Chunren wrote to the capital, there were only more than 700 lawsuits, and now the number has increased to more than 2000.
Usury, arrears of military pay, and wages are very common things. Once you come to the police, these things will become illegal.
This cannot be let go!
What's more, this is only second.
"It's unreasonable. Those officials keep saying that they fully support our public security law, but they are actually trying to frame us."
Liu Zhi, who just took office in the procuratorate, came into the house and cursed angrily.
Fan Chunren hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
Liu Zhi said: "I just heard that the government said that it will fully support our public prosecutor's judgment with its financial resources."
After hearing this, Fan Chunren couldn't help frowning.
Qian Wei said: "But once we pay all the financial compensation to those who are suing, then Qingzhou's finances will definitely suffer. This is not what Wang Jiefu said, the public security law will only increase the financial burden."
With the lessons learned from the Hezhong Mansion, and Ouyang Xiu, a big boss sitting in town, although Ouyang Xiu didn't take care of things very early on, his seniority and status are here. This time the officials of Qingzhou learned to be smart and did the opposite. We are absolutely satisfied financially as much as we need to pay, so let’s stop at nothing.
It can be said that there is no limit to cooperation.
You can't blame us for this.
But if there is really no money, then the problem will be big. Whoever gets less will get money, and the court's money cannot be lost. The court's finances are already tight.
This pot must be carried by the public security law!
Liu Zhi said: "Now that they say that everywhere, it's tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. The people of Qingzhou are very happy. I hope that our imperial court can make a judgment as soon as possible. We won't be able to delay it for too long."
Fan Chunren said: "The current lawsuits, except usury, are all related to the government. The fundamental reason is that in order to meet the financial expenditure, the only way for the government is to find a way to reduce expenditure, that is, to lay off officials. It can not only solve the current problem, but also prevent it from happening before it happens, but it's a pity that Bachelor Sima and the others don't support it."
Qian Wei said: "I heard that Zhang San is going back to Beijing soon."
Fan Chunren said: "Unless he can generate money again, otherwise, he can only do this."
There is a geographical error in the front. There is no Jinan Prefecture at the moment, but Qizhou. However, if the previous article needs to be changed, an application must be made. From this chapter on, it is still written back to Qizhou.
