Chapter 537 Steady as an Old Dog

 "President Zhang, free of charge!"

"Mr. Su, walk slowly."

Zhang Fei stopped in front of the door, looked at Su Che's leaving figure, and couldn't help but smile, "This is really bold for a skilled man. I didn't expect that he actually wanted to use laws to force the court to carry out reforms."

At this point, he frowned, "But the risk of doing this is too great, and I don't dare to play with you like this."

After muttering, he turned around and went back.

When I came to the lake, I saw two lovely wives sitting in a small pavilion, so I walked over quietly, stood on tiptoes, and took a look inside. I saw a pile of copywriting on the stone table in the pavilion, and I couldn't help but

With a smile, he quietly came up behind Xu Zhiqian, bent down, and kissed her quickly on the cheek.

"ah!"

Xu Zhiqian was immediately frightened. She turned her head and saw that it was Zhang Fei. She immediately gave him a vicious eye roll and said, "You are already the president of the court, but you are still so immoral. If others see it, it will be very bad for your prestige."

"This is my style. If I don't like it, they can replace me! Who wants to be the president of the court?"

Zhang Fei snorted softly and said: "You are such a workaholic. You just don't care about food and drink. You even drag your wife to accompany you to go crazy."

Gao Wenyin said hurriedly: "It has nothing to do with Zhi Qian, it's just that I have nothing to do, so I came over to help Zhi Qian tidy up."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Fei smiled, sat down, picked up the copy on the table and took a look. Sure enough, it was about the regulations on military corruption and the related military expenditure management system.

Gao Wenyin knew she couldn't hide it, so she couldn't help biting her red lips and lowered her head with guilt.

She did have a different concern about this case, because she had experienced this kind of thing before and knew the pain and sorrow involved, so she also wanted to do her part.

Xu Zhiqian knew that Zhang Fei didn't like to read these things, so she thought of helping him sort out the relevant copywriting, which was what they had done before when they collaborated.

This is why Zhang Fei appointed Xu Zhiqian as his chief clerk. In this work, they cooperate closely.

Zhang Fei glanced at them and suddenly said with great gratitude: "With such a good wife, what more can a husband ask for?"

"I'm just doing my duty as chief registrar."

Xu Zhiqian pouted her little lips proudly and asked again: "By the way! I heard that Mr. Su Xiao is here."

Zhang Fei nodded.

Xu Zhiqian said: "But you are here to sue?"

"no!"

Zhang Fei shook his head and then said: "But it's more terrifying than this."

"More terrifying?"

Xu Zhiqian asked anxiously: "What do you mean?"

Gao Wenyin opened her big watery eyes and looked at Zhang Fei anxiously.

Zhang Fei would not hide anything from them, so he informed the two daughters of Su Che's plan.

Xu Zhiqian's eyes flashed with joy, but when she saw Zhang Fei's expression of doubt, she asked, "Did you agree?"

There is no doubt that she definitely wants to seek justice for Chen Guang, but she also knows the depth of things. She used to do her best to help people, such as Li Si. At the beginning, she only helped Li Si find a temple and settle him down.

She didn't stupidly go to settle the score with Chen Yuteng. She generally wouldn't cause Xu Zun any extra trouble.

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "No."

Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips in disappointment and asked again: "Why?"

"Because Mr. Su Xiao and I have different goals."

Zhang Fei said: "He is thinking about clearing up the country's bad government, rather than putting the public prosecutor and the law first, so he dares to take such a risk, but my goal is the public prosecutor and the law.

At this moment, if a judgment is given that is ultimately rejected by the court, then everyone will think that political orders are always higher than laws, and this will also greatly damage the authority of our imperial court.

Therefore."

He shrugged slightly, "It's impossible for me to agree to his request."

Xu Zhiqian said: "But judicial reform is ultimately aimed at eliminating bad governance."

"Wrong!" Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The judicial reform is only to let others clean up bad governance. The public prosecutors and the judiciary do not have this power."

Xu Zhiqian immediately said: "So Mr. Su Xiao's thinking is not wrong. He also wants to use the law to force the court to eliminate bad governance."

Zhang Fei said helplessly: "I didn't say he was wrong, I just thought the risk was too high. According to his idea, we first need to make the case bigger and attract more people to complain, and then decide that the government will impose a penalty

With a huge indemnity, the other party will definitely put pressure on the court with financial problems, thereby making the court aware of the problems and forcing the court to make changes. But..."

He shook his head and said: "The imperial court is not unaware of these issues. They have discussed them, but in the end no changes have been made. In other words, the officials and the prime ministers still have many concerns in their hearts. It is entirely possible that they

, rejecting our final judgment.

Once the court rejects it, we will lose more than we gain. Not only will we not be able to help Chen Guang, but it may eliminate more opportunities for Chen Guang to appeal and make those corrupt officials more emboldened."

After hearing this, Xu Zhiqian said no more, and just looked at each other depressedly with Gao Wenyin.

Not long after nightfall.

Xu Zhiqian, who had just taken a shower, was wearing a jade-white satin pajamas, revealing her snow-white, slender jade neck, which was cold and glamorous, adding a touch of nobility.

When I came to the bedroom, I saw Zhang Fei half-lying on the big bench again, with his legs crossed and his bare toes gently shaking, holding a copy of the document in his hand, looking very fascinated.

She stepped forward and snatched the copy from Zhang Fei's hand, "Aren't you afraid of blinding yourself?" Zhang Fei glanced at her and said in surprise: "You workaholic has the nerve to talk about me."

Xu Zhiqian said seriously: "Unless there are special circumstances, I will try to get things done during the day. I won't lie down and watch like you. The candlelight is so far away from you. Can you see clearly?"

Zhang Fei didn't know how to argue, so he stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms and said with a smile: "I'm done taking a bath."

Xu Zhiqian lightly patted his mischievous big hand, but let him go. She suddenly glanced at the copywriting out of the corner of her eye and rolled her beautiful eyes, "Didn't you say that Mr. Su Xiao's method is too risky and you can't do it like this?"

,Then why were you so fascinated just now?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "So if you can reduce the risk, then you can do this."

Xu Zhiqian said expectantly: "Then have you thought of a way?"

Zhang Fei curled his fingers towards the copywriting in her hand.

Xu Zhiqian subconsciously wanted to hand the copy to Zhang Fei, but then she thought, no, if I give it to him, wouldn't it look like I'm being hypocritical. She still suppressed her curiosity and said seriously: "Forget it! I'll see it tomorrow.

Well, you should pay attention to rest."

Zhang Fei didn't know her character. Seeing her tangled expression, he couldn't hold back his laughter and hugged her, "You little girl."

Just kissed him!

An hour later.

Xu Zhiqian lay completely on Zhang Fei's body. The thin silk quilt could not withstand the tenderness of the jade back and slid down slightly, revealing her sexy shoulders.

"Zhang San, have you thought of a solution?"

"Shouldn't we explain later?"

"Let's just chat, it's okay now anyway."

Xu Zhiqian pursed her red lips and said delicately.

"All right."

Zhang Fei nodded, "Seeing that you were relatively cooperative just now, I will talk to you."

Xu Zhiqian's face immediately turned red and she looked so pretty. She spat and said, "Why don't you tell me quickly."

Zhang Fei bent his arms over the pillow with one hand and gently stroked Xu Zhiqian with the other, "Do you still remember that you once told me that although the military expenditure is fixed, coins only account for a small amount. Generally, whatever is accumulated in the warehouse is distributed.

, and then convert it into an equal monetary value.”

Xu Zhiqian asked curiously: "What does this have to do with the risks you mentioned before?"

"Don't be impatient, just listen to me."

Zhang Fei looked at her with a smile and continued: "You also said that there are special people who do this and exchange these goods for money and grain."

Have I ever said this? It seems that I have. Xu Zhiqian herself doesn’t quite remember it, because it was just a very inconspicuous link. Her eyes became more confused. She didn’t understand why Zhang Fei valued this.

Then I heard Zhang Fei say: "And I just read the copy you compiled and found that the military pay stipulated by the imperial court is about fifty guan per year for the imperial army, and about 30 guan for the Xiang soldiers, and the proportion of currency is not high.

, the highest the Forbidden Army soldiers can get is twelve guan every year, the more common ones can get seven or eight guans, and the worst is the Xiang soldiers who can get five or six guan every year.

The proportion is about one-fifth.”

Xu Zhiqian nodded, but said: "I still don't understand what you mean."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "According to what Mr. Su Xiao said, regarding disarmament, the DPRK and China are roughly divided into two factions. Duke Wen and Bachelor Sima are in favor of disarmament.

The officials, Academician Wang, and Privy Chen disapprove. Therefore, we have to find a way to convince the officials and Academician Wang first, so that the court will support my decision.

The reasons for their unwillingness to disarmament can be roughly divided into two categories. One is the desire to make a difference on the border. Disarmament is obviously not in line with their views.

The second is the worry that disarmament will cause these laid-off soldiers to gather into thieves."

Xu Zhiqian said: "So we need to prescribe the right medicine to convince them."

"of course not."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "Prescribe the right medicine to the problem. It's our turn. I'm afraid Wen Gong and the others have already made it very clear. We have to throw out a bigger temptation to affect the entire balance."

"A greater temptation?"

"good."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "It's the military expenditure issue we just mentioned. Today's military expenditure structure seems to be a lot, but in fact it makes the soldiers miserable, because as long as the conversion issue is involved, the people will inevitably suffer huge losses.

loss.

Since the Ya people can exchange those goods into money and grain, then why not the imperial court directly open a quality shop, and then cooperate with Academician Wang's equalization method to turn these goods into money and grain, and the soldiers themselves can collect them.

In this way, we can also put an end to some cases of free money.”

In fact, the number of empty payers in the Song Dynasty is relatively small at present, but it is increasing.

"The more important thing is." Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Xueshi Wang is preparing for the Green Seeding Law. The so-called Green Seeding Law means that if you want to lend money to the people, you need capital and a financial management institution to do these things. Not only that, according to you

Judging from the documents compiled, the current management of military expenditures is a complete mess.

Even the materials needed for local boat repairs must be recorded in the Third Division. This will inevitably make the accounts complex and disorderly, giving more convenience to corrupt officials.

In fact, the central government only needs to control money, grain, cloth, salt, tea, horses, and other related finances, such as firewood, charcoal, post materials, construction, bamboo and wood, carriages and horses. These can be handed over to local finances, and they can also be included in

Among them, combined with the equal loss method and the green seedling method, a super large financial management institution can be formed. This is enough to impress Bachelor Wang and make him support Mr. Su Xiao's plan and use my judgment to force the court to make reforms.

, in order to facilitate your own new method.

The Public Security Bureau and the new law all belong to the core interests of the officials, and disarmament can reduce the financial burden. Given the many interests, the officials will inevitably be tempted."

Only then did Xu Zhiqian finally understand, and suddenly asked: "Then how to arrange the laid-off soldiers?"

Zhang Fei said: "I haven't thought about this in detail, but it will require a lot of manpower to support this huge financial institution. In addition, the police station also needs a lot of manpower, so it should be able to absorb most of it."
