Main text volume Chapter 536: Direct Stud? Cai Mansion.
"Master Zhuo, have you checked clearly?"
Cai Yanqing asked Zhuo Qun, who had just entered the house.
Zhuo Qun said: "I went to inquire about it. Although there is no concrete evidence, it doesn't look like someone is plotting behind it."
Cai Yanqing said curiously: "That's strange. If you go to the procuratorate to investigate for this little soldier, you will only gain more than you lose!"
Zhuo Qun said: "This military expenditure is passed around by various departments, and the geese are plucking their feathers. There are some problems. If you, the prefect Cai, had asked about it personally, you would probably have given it up. But the problem is for the procuratorate, and no one can do it now."
I believe that the Procuratorate and each department are worried that if they are responsible for it, it will lead to an investigation by the Procuratorate.
This is only one of the reasons. Second, they are also extremely dissatisfied with the actions of the Procuratorate, believing that the Procuratorate is interfering in their government affairs.
Thirdly, if the procuratorate investigates and then make up for it, more people may go to the procuratorate to file complaints, and if this continues, the problems of each department will be exposed."
Cai Yanqing sighed, "Yes! This is inevitable!"
Originally, this power structure has been very stable, and everyone has been playing the tricks for decades. Now that you are here, you will directly break the previous power structure. You are so strong and follow the law in everything. Who is not afraid of this!
In fact, from this point, we can also see Wang Anshi's helplessness.
The reason why he didn't go to rectify the officialdom first is this. Three feet of ice does not last a day. If you dig it with your bare hands, it will take any year or month.
I'm afraid that a hole has just been dug here, but the finances there have already collapsed first.
As for Zhang Fei, although he was also a little worried, he knew very well Su Che's character and what Su Che was thinking right now.
The Suizhou case must have made Su Che wary, and he must have been thinking about how to check and balance the imperial court.
Therefore, the prosecutor's office must want to take the lead in this case.
But Zhang Fei is also very relieved about this, because he also knows that Su Che is not Su Shi, and he will definitely not engage in any tricks. Moreover, Su Che is not a fool. Since he dares to get involved in this matter, he will definitely think of ways to deal with it.
strategy without causing any trouble for him.
In addition, the current affairs inside and outside the imperial court are also very complicated, and Zhang Fei is too busy to take care of them.
Recently, the second wave of reinforcements from Beijing has arrived.
It was Na Hongzhong, two masters in the day shift, and more than a dozen apprentices.
The biggest advantage of movable type printing is that it can disseminate knowledge faster, and the construction of the legal system requires the popularization of basic legal knowledge. If the public security law is to develop rapidly in Hezhong Prefecture, it is inseparable from movable type printing.
of.
"Two masters, what do you think of this place?"
"good."
As soon as Hong Zhong said a word, he looked hesitant again, "But."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It's been a while since we last met, and Master Hong still told me this courtesy."
"No, no!"
Hong Zhong grinned, "I just think the environment here is too good and not suitable for building a workshop here."
The day shift also nodded and said: "Yes! Whether it is making movable type or printing, it is both soil and ink, which will ruin the environment."
In ancient times, people relied on mountains to eat and water to eat. They also had a sense of environmental protection. Especially when they saw such a beautiful environment, they naturally couldn't bear to destroy it.
Zhang Fei nodded slightly.
Hong Zhongdao: "On our way here, we found that the soil by the river is very suitable for making movable type. I thought why not build a workshop there and transport a few pieces of paper. It is not so strenuous and does not necessarily have to be built."
it's here."
Zhang Fei nodded, "Okay, you can discuss this matter, but you have to remember one thing, look at the place, don't tell it, tell me first."
"Hey! We know it."
Nowadays, there are enemies everywhere here. Just in this three-thirds of an acre, he has the final say. If you leave this land, no matter what you do, someone will stop you.
Asking the government to grant land to them is simply a pipe dream!
It has to be done secretly.
At this moment, Li Si ran over again, "Third brother, Prosecutor General Su is here."
It's earlier than I thought! Zhang Fei looked surprised and suddenly thought of something, "Did he come alone or with several people?"
"A person." Li Si replied.
Zhang Fei asked again: "Did you bring some copywriting?"
Li Si shook his head, "I just came empty-handed."
"Empty handed?"
Zhang Fei couldn't help but think to himself, then he didn't come to sue. He couldn't handle it and came to ask me for help? Damn, I really overestimated him.
He asked Li Si to take Hong Zhong and the day shift to get familiar with the place, while he went back.
When he came to the front hall and bowed his hands slightly, Zhang Fei pretended to be surprised and looked around, "Mr. Su Xiao came here alone?"
Su Che smiled and said, "Judge Zhang thinks I'm here to sue?"
Zhang Fei did not deny it, "I think if Mr. Su Xiao comes here, he must be here for prosecution."
Su Zhe hesitated for a moment, "Actually, you were half right."
"half?"
Zhang Fei looked at Su Che in confusion.
Su Zhe said: "I have indeed decided to prosecute, but I feel that it would be too selfish not to discuss this matter with President Zhang."
Your brother will definitely not discuss it with me. Zhang Fei thought to himself and then asked: "Mr. Su Xiao, it's okay to say so."
Su Che glanced at Zhang Fei, "I believe President Zhang already knows something about this case?"
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Your procuratorate has made such a big move, checking several government offices, and the momentum is quite high. I heard that the officials who were originally going to leave have not left yet."
Su Zhe said: "I am dissatisfied with Judge Zhang. I originally planned to settle the matter. As long as they promise to compensate Chen Guang in full, we will not sue. After all, this situation is not frozen in a day. Just trying the case will only treat the symptoms."
Failure to cure the root cause will only increase consumption. Unless the court is determined to rectify the military and political affairs, this will only make sense.
However, they are unwilling to cooperate. Instead, they shirk responsibility from each other, are vague, and deliberately make things difficult for us. What they rely on is that they believe that it is almost impossible for our procuratorate to investigate this matter clearly, because it involves
He visited many government offices and even involved three departments.
And, if we make this case bigger, it will inevitably attract more people to sue the court, which will not only offend many people, but at the same time, it may get out of hand, putting the court in a dilemma."
Zhang Fei nodded, "I've also thought of this. They just bet that your procuratorate won't dare to cause trouble. This will involve many civil servants and military officers, and the price paid is really too high."
Having said this, he paused for a moment and asked curiously: "In that case, why did Prosecutor General Su decide to prosecute? Isn't it just out of emotion?"
"If I was acting on my own initiative, I wouldn't come here to discuss it with you in advance."
Su Zhe said: "Actually, regarding this military and political issue, I have discussed it with my brother and many friends a long time ago. The fact is that just as they thought, there is constant cutting and chaos, no matter how many officials the court sends.
Coming here is just to treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Unless the court makes up its mind, this case will never be solved."
It turns out that I didn't overestimate him, but underestimated him! Zhang Fei frowned a little, pondered for a while, looked at him again, and said uncertainly: "You mean, just make this case bigger and force the court to come."
Make up your mind to rectify the military affairs."
"exactly."
Su Zhe nodded, "If our procuratorate launches a prosecution, we must be prepared to make a big fuss. In this case, why don't we just get to the bottom of it, make this matter a big fuss, and force the court to give an explanation."
This is actually in line with Zhang Fei's style. He doesn't like to be passive. Either don't do it. If you want to do it, you have to strike first. At this time, he had some doubts and said: "Determination is one thing, method is another. What if it really happens?"
There is no way to solve it, what should I do?”
"In fact, the solution is very simple, that is, disarmament."
Su Zhe said: "With the current national finances, it is impossible to afford such a huge military expenditure. Besides, in my opinion, there is no need to raise so many soldiers.
I remember that during the Taizu period, our dynasty had tens of thousands of soldiers, and we could know the enemy's movements clearly, so that we could defend or attack in a targeted manner. We didn't need so many troops at all. The art of war is clear, and only when you know yourself and the enemy can you
You can fight a hundred battles without danger."
Zhang Fei asked: "Disarmament is not a trivial matter. Is this something we can decide?"
"But the resistance encountered by disarmament is much smaller than the reduction of officials."
Su Zhe said: "You may not know something. In the first year of Xining, there was a dispute over this matter. Both Wen Gong and Sima Bachelor were in favor of disarmament. It was just that the officials at that time were more eager to make achievements on the border. In addition, at that time Chen Sheng
Both Zhi and Han Jiang said that there should be no disarmament, so they failed. However, in my opinion, even if you want to make achievements on the border, you must disarmament.
Take the case of Chen Guang for example. He was so brave and fought bloody battles on the border, but in the end he was worse than a soldier who stayed in Hezhong Mansion and idled around all day long. How could he win the war with this fighting ability?"
Those officials may never have thought that this little procurator-in-chief has the talent of a prime minister, and he is biased towards Sima Guang's ideas, but there is one thing he is better than Sima Guang. Although Sima Guang has suggestions, he is timid and afraid that he will not be able to handle it.
Okay, not much responsibility.
Su Che is more courageous. This talented artist is bold. If you use this to intimidate him, he will really dare to compete with you.
Zhang Fei said: "But has Mr. Su Xiao considered how to place these laid-off soldiers?"
Su Zhe said: "Back then, Duke Wen had reduced the army by 80,000 people. Before that, many people were afraid that these people would gather and become thieves, but this did not happen."
After saying that, he paused for a moment and said, "Of course, I also hope that President Zhang can find a way to provide them with accommodation, because I know that President Zhang is also quite capable in terms of finances."
"Excuse me! I don't have the ability."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I have to think carefully about this matter. If it really gets serious and the court doesn't make up its mind, then our entire public security system may be ruined."
Su Zhe said: "I have also considered this matter. Let our procuratorate handle this matter. If it fails, I will bear all the responsibilities. With the current prestige of the imperial court, it is unlikely to affect the imperial court."
Zhang Fei pondered for a while and said, "Let me think about it again."
