In fact, Wen Yanbo was not advising Sima Guang, but reminding him to be prepared.
Wen Yanbo saw very clearly that Wang Anshi's new law was a national need, while Sima Guang's judicial reform was more a need for political struggle.
If there were no new laws, no one would think that we in the Song Dynasty still needed judicial reform.
This judicial reform is purely out of resistance to the new law.
That's all.
That is why, even though the judicial reform has clearly offended those with vested interests, it has not encountered much resistance.
The reason is that the backbone of the conservative forces headed by Sima Guang have gathered under the banner of judicial reform, including Fu Bi who later participated.
They were worried that if the judicial reform was eliminated, it would indirectly harm Fu Bi, Sima Guang and others. This would weaken the power to stop Wang Anshi and make Wang Anshi's family dominate.
Interestingly, this also reduced the pressure on Wang Anshi to carry out reforms, because the ministers could not stand the judicial reform even more, and they chose the lesser of two evils, so they decisively sided with Wang Anshi.
Others believe that if the new law is eliminated, Sima Guang will be the only one in power, and there will be no checks and balances on judicial reform.
These vested interests prefer to see the new law and judicial reform go hand in hand, with both sides losing.
Therefore, they will definitely ask Sima Guang to use judicial reform to stop the Youth Law.
You must know that when everyone learned that Wang Anshi was planning to introduce the Green Crops Law, the opposition to the new law also reached a climax, especially the backbone of the conservative forces, such as Liu Shu, Qi Hui and others, who firmly opposed it.
If judicial reform cannot do this, then what are the reasons for everyone to support judicial reform? Then we might as well support the new law.
Because we are in real financial difficulties and we really need to change.
The judiciary performed very well in the political system of the Song Dynasty.
Sima Guang also understood that he had to write to Zhang Fei quickly to let him be prepared, as it might eventually fall on him.
At this time, Zhang Fei had just established a foothold in Hezhong Mansion. At least he had gained the support of several great general families in the northwest, which was very crucial.
He had to build the Imperial Court quickly and show more of the benefits of the Imperial Court.
For example, the Legal Aid Department, law journals, and law schools are all top priorities.
At this time, hundreds of craftsmen were knocking on the open space in front of the imperial court gate.
"Our Lushi Alley here is different. We won't put all the bookstores together, but they will be separated. This, this, and there are all bookstores in the future. One for Li Xingshou
To save face, let you choose first."
Zhang Fei pointed to several places while talking to Li Min.
Li Min said sarcastically: "President Zhang, the imperial decree has not been issued yet, so we don't know what the situation will be. We are starting to build the store now. If it doesn't work, what should we do?"
Now he doesn't even have the power to litigate and has to stay in the Legal Aid Department. How can he dare to get a store?
Zhang Fei chuckled: "You don't think you can afford the shops here, do you? These are all built with money from the imperial court, and they have nothing to do with you for the time being. When we build them, we will rent them to you. You don't have to rent them."
, it doesn’t matter, but the rent is definitely not cheap, so you have to be prepared.”
When Li Min heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and inquired again: "Will it be more expensive than Lushi Lane?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Definitely."
Li Min was surprised and said: "Is it more expensive than the capital?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "The most expensive thing in the capital is the location. Every inch of land in Bianjing is precious, but the most important thing here is the value. In the capital, Erbi still has to be subject to many restrictions, but the role that Erbi can play here is
It is far better than the capital city, and the amount of lawsuits involved is definitely far higher than the capital city.
You must know that Hezhong Prefecture is a transportation fortress, and a large number of goods, including salt, are traded here. The property disputes generated are definitely more than those in the capital, and the legal system is more conducive to handling these disputes.
When the time comes, every inch of land here will definitely be at a premium. You'd better make your choice quickly, otherwise, you may not even be able to find a store there."
Li Min glanced at Zhang Fei secretly, muttering in her heart.
The rent is easy to negotiate, but the key is that you have to give me the right to litigate!
"Zhang San!"
"Third brother!"
Hearing two shouts, Zhang Fei looked back and saw Cao Dongdong, Ma Xiaoyi, and Fu Shichun, the three police chiefs, dismounted their horses, threw their whips to Tao Zi and the others, and walked towards them.
Li Min also said goodbye wisely.
Zhang Fei immediately called Li Si over and gave him some instructions in his ear.
"Why!"
Li Si nodded and immediately ran into the imperial court.
"Zhang San, will you meet Goulan Washe here?"
Arriving in front of him, Cao Dongdong asked expectantly.
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said, "Are you kidding me? Every inch of land here is precious. If I want to build a house with hooks and tiles, I have to give up my underwear."
Ma Xiaoyi asked curiously: "Third brother, you have to pay for this Goulan tile house, so what are you going to sell here?"
Zhang Fei pointed to his head.
"Head?"
Cao Dongdong exclaimed.
"Fuck you."
Zhang Fei glared at him, "What are you thinking about? It's wisdom."
"?"
Cao Dongdong looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Are you crazy? How can you make money from a hook-up house?"
Fu Shichun said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case. Baifanlou has been doing business for decades before it reached its current scale. But look at Bianjing Law Firm, which has only been in business for a few years, and the money it already earns is no less than that of Baifanlou."
"Brother Xiaochun is still smart." Zhang Fei chuckled, "No goods are more valuable than wisdom."
"I do not believe."
Cao Dongdong snorted and saw that there was no hook on the roof, but he was also not interested and asked again: "By the way, what do you want us to do?"
Zhang Fei said: "Let's go over there and talk."
They came to a big willow tree and saw several square tables placed here. The waiter under the shed immediately brought a pot of herbal tea and poured them a cup.
After the guy left, Zhang Fei asked: "How are your police station's preparations now?"
Fu Shichun said: "It went very smoothly, just as you expected. The Yongxing Army has given our police station great support, whether it is people or money, they are fully committed."
Cao Dongdong said proudly: "My old Cao family still has some connections in Hezhong Mansion."
Zhang Fei just smiled.
It's not Cao Dongdong's boast. It turns out that Zhao Xu, through Cao Ping, asked the military to cooperate with the police station as much as possible. How many people the police station recruits will be transferred to the military pay.
Fu Shichun asked: "How many people should we recruit first?"
Zhang Fei said: "Five thousand."
"That's it?" Ma Xiaoyi said immediately.
Zhang Fei said: "Just a little? Xiaoma, how much do you want?"
Ma Xiaoyi said carelessly: "It must be at least tens of thousands. This is what we do in Bianjing."
"That's a special situation, it's different here."
Zhang Fei said angrily.
Just as he was talking, Li Si suddenly ran over and breathlessly handed a pamphlet to Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei took it and threw it in front of Cao Dongdong, "Here."
"what is this?"
Cao Dongdong picked it up without falling.
Zhang Fei said: "This is the law enforcement manual of the Royal Police. It contains some rules of conduct for the Royal Police when enforcing the law. After all, you Royal Police are on the front line and have the most people. If someone wants to deal with us, the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, Your police station must be the first to bear the brunt. It must strictly abide by discipline and have a code of conduct. If there is a dispute, there is no need to worry."
Since the Royal Police is to be built into an elite force capable of fighting, in Zhang Fei's view, discipline is the top priority. This law enforcement manual was personally tailor-made for the Royal Police.
Fu Shichun frowned when he heard this and said half-jokingly: "Zhang San, does this count as interfering with our police station?"
Zhang Fei's expression was stagnant, and he hurriedly explained: "I gave this to the yamen, not to your police station. I am the big Erbi of the yamen, and I should serve it. This manual is also based on the daily training of the Royal Police in the yamen. of."
"Yeah?"
Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes, "You are my big Er pen, and you wrote it according to my training method, so this booklet should be mine. If the police station wants it, it will have to pay the copyright fee." ."
"ah?"
The three of them looked at Cao Dongdong in surprise at the same time.
Even Zhang Fei can't keep up with this leap of thinking.
Cao Dongdong said again: "But I don't care about the money, so I will give it to the police station for free."
As he spoke, he smiled and touched the booklet in his hand as if he had found a treasure, "Next time, remember to write my name."
Thinking that in the future all the royal police officers would have to read the pamphlets signed by them, I felt so happy that I covered my mouth and smiled.
Zhang Fei chuckled: "I don't care, but I think the Yameni should still be cautious. When the time comes, I write the Yameni's name. If the Yameni himself doesn't abide by it, wouldn't it be even worse?"
Cao Dongdong snorted: "You are really looking down on me. With Taozi here, how could I not comply with this?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, "Who taught you this trick?"
"You!"
The three of them said in unison.
Zhang Fei's mouth twitched. It seemed that I was more suitable to be an Erbi. He coughed and said, "I'd better explain to you the contents of this manual."
"Wait a minute!"
Xiao Ma said seriously: "Third brother, actually I am the one who trains the Royal Police. Do you have to write my name on it?"
"!"
After finally getting rid of the three of them, it was almost evening. Just when Zhang Fei was about to get up and leave, the big dog suddenly came over and said, "President Zhang, our people discovered that the procuratorate has recently investigated another case."
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment and asked: "What case?"
Big Dog said: "It's about a case about pensions for disabled soldiers. This case is fairly common, but it may involve many officials."
Zhang Fei frowned and immediately asked: "Could it be a trap?"
The big dog shook his head and said: "It is indeed possible, but it has not been found yet."
Zhang Fei sighed and said: "Whether it is true or not, we have to face it. You should sort out the information about this case and give it to me as soon as possible."
Big Dog nodded and immediately asked: "Won't the Procuratorate consult with President Zhang?"
Zhang Fei said: "According to the system, unless they decide to prosecute, there is no need to discuss with me."
Su Che didn't come to him at first, he must have acted in accordance with the rules. He estimated that it was unlikely that he would come to him for discussion before filing a lawsuit.
After these three lawsuits, everyone has a clear understanding of the power of the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, and the Law. We also know that the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, and the Law are by no means friends. Every move of the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, and the Law is under everyone's attention.
When the procuratorate made some moves, Wei Yingfang learned the news immediately.
"I heard that the Procuratorate is investigating a case regarding pensions for disabled soldiers?"
Wei Ying said to Cao Yi.
Cao Yidao: "I just learned about it too."
"Just found out?"
Wei Yingfang asked: "Didn't you do this?"
Cao Yi quickly explained: "I really didn't do this, and I'm not that stupid. If I take action at this time, everyone will be suspicious."
Wei Yingfang frowned, "Is it just a coincidence?"
"I don't think it's a coincidence."
Cao Yi shook his head and said: "Wei Tongpan can go and see the army. Those soldiers are all praising the imperial court. It is normal for soldiers to go to the procuratorate to redress their grievances at this time."
Wei Yingfang looked at Cao Yi and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Cao Yidao: "Could this matter be related to Wei Tongpian?"
Wei Yingfang immediately said: "I have nothing to do with this matter."
Cao Yidao: "Since it has nothing to do with Wei Tongpan, it's better to let them investigate and let's wait and see what happens. The more people they offend, the more beneficial it will be to us."
Procuratorate.
Su Che held up a piece of loose cotton cloth, "Is this the one they have used for many years?"
Chen Qi shook his head and said, "This has never been used."
Su Che asked again: "What can this cloth do?"
"I don't know much about this?" Chen Qi said: "They said that the government has financial difficulties and only uses this cloth as military pay to be distributed to the families of soldiers."
Su Che frowned and asked again: "What about pensions?"
Chen Qidao: "The Pensions Department said that due to financial difficulties, they had to give priority to pensions for those soldiers who died in battle. Chen Guang was disabled, so they did not pay him in time, but they also asked a doctor to treat Chen Guang's disability. limb."
"This hand has been broken. Can I still put it back on?"
Su Zhe laughed when he heard this, "Every year, 70% of the fiscal budget is spent on military expenses, and they still use this as an excuse. It's really unreasonable."
Chen Qi said: "But the current situation is that they use cloth as military pay every month. This does not violate the system of our dynasty. Our dynasty has express regulations that if there is insufficient money and food, salt and cloth can be used instead. However, this cloth is really shoddy and not at all There is no way to exchange money. As for the pension, they said that the fallen should be taken care of first, but there is nothing we can do, because according to the court system, the pension system also puts the fallen first."
Wang Shen said: "How about we go talk to them and let them make up for Chen Guang's military salary first, otherwise, we will sue them."
Chen Qi frowned and said, "They may not agree."
Su Che sighed: "Even if you agree, it will be difficult to do. Because even if you make up this amount of money, Chen Guang will not be able to repay the debt. In the end, he will have to sell his wife and children."
Wang Shen said: "You can't ask the government to help him pay off his debts and then give him a sum of money. It's impossible for the government to agree."
Su Zhe pondered for a while and said: "Since they have not violated the system on the surface, let's not be aggressive. You go talk to them first and see if you can find a way to solve the matter. If they don't agree, let's go back Make plans.”
