Chapter 553: The First Battle of the Three Redundancies (6)
This is really a mistake.
Originally, cutting expenditures and increasing revenue were incompatible with each other.
But the decision-making at this meeting was actually a two-pronged approach to cutting costs and increasing revenue.
On the one hand, we disarmament and reduce expenditures, on the other hand, we lend money to increase revenue.
On the surface, this appears to be a political deal between the two parties.
It was Wang Anshi who used the excuse of blocking disarmament in exchange for the promulgation of the Young Crops Law.
Because, once disarmament is not passed, the procuratorate will face a great responsibility, and the entire judicial reform will face difficulties.
If you want to sue, but the court cannot pay the compensation, it will be very embarrassing.
But this is not the case.
Because if it is just a simple transaction, the conservatives will definitely not agree to it.
There is already a lot of controversy among the conservatives about whether to disarmament or not. There are those who support and those who oppose it. It is not something they have always insisted on, let alone exchanging disarmament for the Green Crops Law, which they strongly oppose.
This is actually driven by a third force, and this third force is not the Public Security Bureau, but it is formed from the Public Security Bureau.
The original question was very simple, that of innovation and conservatism.
However, Zhang Fei's arrival triggered a judicial reform launched by conservatives, but this judicial reform was not popular among people, making the situation between North Korea and China more complicated.
Most people with vested interests don't like it and want to eliminate it.
But there are also some knowledgeable people who support the Public Security Law, the new law, or even both.
It's not as simple as black and white.
This also led to the fact that the third force alone was not enough to kill both parties at the same time, so they have been promoting a confrontation between the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, and the New Law.
The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman gets the benefit.
I have to say, this is the best choice.
Because the original judicial reform was born out of the need to curb new laws.
This was also a promise given by Sima Guang to conservatives in exchange for their support.
Previously in the capital, they wanted to push for a fight between the two laws, but the Taxation Department suddenly appeared, leaving both the Public Security Bureau and the New Law confused.
Even the public security organs and the procuratorate have protected vested interests like them to a certain extent.
But it has also caused many people to doubt judicial reform.
In Hezhong Prefecture, these situations do not exist. Now that the Qingmiao Law is about to land in Hezhong Prefecture, your promise, Sima Guang, must be fulfilled!
This Young Crops Law is also different from the Service Law, because when the Service Law was first promulgated, and then some laws were promulgated through the Legislative Council, many knowledgeable people among the conservatives at that time supported it, and Sima Guang himself did not say that he was opposed to it.
However, among the conservatives, almost all knowledgeable people were extremely opposed to this Green Seedling Law, including Sima Guang himself.
Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo both disagreed.
This is why the Green Crops Law has been under preparation for more than half a year but has not yet been promulgated.
In fact, the obstacles currently encountered by Qingmiao Law are greater than in history. In history, Fu Bi and Sima Guang abandoned the business and left after seeing that their persuasion was fruitless.
But now that judicial reform is pulling them, they have no choice but to stop it.
This time the conservatives believe that they must put pressure on Sima Guang and others. If judicial reform cannot stop the Youth Law, then why should we support you.
However, there was no need for them to put pressure. Sima Guang himself had already begun to feel anxious.
If this was just a political deal, Sima Guang would never agree. He would rather not disarm than nod and agree to the promulgation of the Green Crops Law. Although he also knew that it would not be stopped in the end, he would try his best to control it.
The green shoot method.
Therefore, when Liu Shu, Qi Hui and other key members came to the Court of Justice and wanted to discuss with Sima Guang, Sima Guang had already written the letter.
"You can rest assured, I will never let Wang Jiefu do anything wrong."
Sima Guang said: "I will immediately send a letter to the Royal Court of Hezhong Prefecture and ask them to legislate the Green Crops Law."
Liu Shu asked: "I wonder how Bachelor Sima plans to stop it?"
Sima Guang replied: "First of all, I will let Zhang San in the name of the ancestral law, and Changpingcang cannot be merged into Qingmiao Law. This Changpingcang is the only official office of the imperial court that can help the poor people, so Changpingcang must not be allowed to
The warehouse became a tool for the imperial court to make money."
Although the Green Crops Law has not been officially promulgated, everyone is already very clear about the regulations of the Green Crops Law.
Wang Anshi hoped to use Changpingcang as capital to lend money to the people.
But Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, and Fu Bi were all firmly opposed to this.
The Changpingcang method is broad in nature and targets market mediation, while the Green Crop method is ultimately aimed at farmers who have the ability to repay. The two methods can be used in parallel, but cannot replace them.
Other officials even supported it with both hands and feet. If this could be stopped, Qingmiao Law would not have the capital.
"Secondly!"
Sima Guang continued: "It must be legislated that no one may force others to borrow money, including the government."
Qi Hui nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said: "That's right! Wang Jiefu always said that loan sharking harms people, but if you add the loan sharks in Hezhong Prefecture together, how much money can you get every year? If Wang Jiefu wants to make money for the country, he will definitely force loans.
of."
Liu Shudao: "Another point to note is that during famine years, relief should be the main focus, and we should not take advantage of the situation and force the people to borrow money from the court, because under such circumstances, if the government wants to recover the interest, it will definitely force others to guarantee it. This
It’s absolutely impossible.”
Sima Guang nodded repeatedly, "That's right. This point must also be written down. It is not allowed to force others to guarantee. Finally, government loan interest rates must be suppressed."
Fu Bi was immediately confused, "Jun Shi! This may be difficult. After all, the interest rate stipulated by Wang Jiefu is lower than private lending, and it does not exceed the regulations of the imperial court. I am afraid it will be difficult for the imperial court to legislate on this.
"
Sima Guang said: "The imperial court is very difficult, but Zhang San must have a way."
A group of officials below nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
Yeah!
Zhang San must have a way.
They just wanted Zhang Fei to give Wang Anshi a hard blow.
Sima Guang's tough statement also made conservatives become more united than ever before. In fact, many people were very suspicious of some of Sima Guang's actions before.
Are you opposed to the new law? Will your judicial reform have any effect?
But judging from today, Sima Guang obviously wants to use judicial reform to stop the Qingmiao Law with all his strength. Wang Anshi will never agree to these points. If this is to be completely suppressed, the Qingmiao Law is still a piece of shit!
But no matter what, it can be seen that Sima Guang did not break his promise, and the judicial reform was used to deal with the new law.
During this period, a group of fast horses galloped away from the west gate and headed straight to Hezhong Mansion before the sun set.
Both the government and the public were desperately sending messages to Hezhong Prefecture, informing them of the situation in the government and making all preparations.
...
At this time, the entire Hezhong Mansion was completely unaware of the situation and was still trying its best to deal with the public prosecutor and the law. The entire observation was in a state of anxiety.
Seeing that the climax has come down, but it just doesn't...!
The procuratorate has received thousands of petitions.
But...but the procuratorate just won't prosecute.
Is it annoying?
Everyone is asking, will you sue or not?
Don’t let it thunder but not rain!
The reason given by the procuratorate is that people have been complaining all the time, and our people have to continue to verify the case, and there is no way we can allocate anyone to prosecute.
When the government learned of this, they immediately ordered the soldiers to be restrained and to file a complaint.
Don't worry, everyone!
Come in batches.
If the procuratorate refuses to prosecute, there is no use in prosecuting!
Relatively speaking, the imperial court is much more relaxed and comfortable. It has been busy building the imperial court and does not care about worldly affairs.
The tavern in front of the door and the college have begun to take shape.
Early this morning, Zhang Fei came to Big Dog's shop to have breakfast again.
Da Gou personally served breakfast to Zhang Fei and said in a low voice: "Brother Bao sent a message to President Zhang not to let the officials down."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It seems that the Green Seeding Law is coming soon. You should send someone to send a message immediately. The imperial court is preparing to amend the law on loan sharking and will issue the most stringent and complete law."
The big dog said: "Do you have any other instructions?"
"there is none left!"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "Oh, your tax department needs to hurry up."
The big dog nodded and said: "We have stepped up preparations, but this kind of thing cannot be rushed, otherwise, others will see it."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Anyway, you have to act quickly without making any mistakes."
"I know... Prosecutor General Su is here."
The big dog suddenly looked up.
Zhang Fei looked up and saw Su Che coming this way. He immediately stood up and came over to greet him, bowed his hands and asked again: "Mr. Su, you came so early. Could something have happened?"
"That's not the case." Su Che said with a smile, "I'm just afraid that I'll be late and meet you swimming for exercise again."
"Uh, hehe, Mr. Su Xiao, please sit down."
"Thank you."
"Big Dog, go get another breakfast."
"Hey! Dear guests, please wait a moment."
After the big dog left, Su Che asked, "Why did you come here to have breakfast today?"
Zhang Fei looked back and said, "I'm mainly here for inspection and have breakfast by the way."
Su Zhe nodded, without any doubts, and said: "The capital has sent me a letter stating that the imperial court has decided to disarm. I believe that the order will come to Hezhong Mansion in less than two days."
Zhang Fei pretended to be surprised and said: "It seems that everything is as expected by Mr. Su Xiao."
"I wouldn't dare say that in front of you."
Su Che smiled slightly and said seriously: "But it just so happens that our Procuratorate is about to be unable to hold on any longer. Those officials used the soldiers' mouths to put pressure on our Procuratorate and urge our Procuratorate to file a lawsuit with the Imperial Court."
Zhang Fei asked: "How is your procuratorate prepared?"
Su Zhe said: "Currently we have verified that five hundred soldiers have indeed suffered serious deductions and arrears in military expenses."
Zhang Fei was surprised and said: "That's it?"
Su Zhe said: "This is conclusive evidence, and there is a lot more. There is not enough evidence at the moment. We only have a few people in the procuratorate, and we have to work step by step! But if the prosecution can be successful, they will not go too far with the rest.
anxiety."
Zhang Fei nodded slightly and said: "If we can really get their military pay back, then our public security and procuratorate will truly have a foothold in Hezhong Mansion."
Su Che smiled and said, "Then it depends on President Zhang."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It has nothing to do with me. It depends on the financial means of those prime ministers."
