At the same time that Wang Anshi received Zhang Fei's secret letter, Sima Guang also received a letter from Zhang Fei.
Only halfway through reading the letter, Sima Guang was already furious, "Wang Jiefu, Wang Jiefu, you are a despicable and shameless villain, you actually want to draw fire under the cauldron and take all the achievements of Hezhong Mansion as your own. You are really reading the sage's book in vain..."
....!"
After a lot of swearing, Sima Guang was so angry that he gasped.
He seriously wanted to compete with Wang Anshi, and this competitive atmosphere was created by Wang Anshi. He never expected that what Wang Anshi wanted was to be invincible and shameless.
He was really angry that all the political achievements of Hezhong Prefecture were attributed to the New Deal.
Fortunately, Zhang Fei wrote a letter telling him all this.
After a while, Sima Guang calmed down a little, picked up the letter again, and continued to read. Next, Zhang Fei also told him the role that judicial reform played in it, which made him nod involuntarily, "If there is no judicial reform, how can it be done?"
How did his New Deal succeed in purging officials? This ungrateful Wang Jiefu."
But the content that followed made him raise his eyebrows, "It turns out that Zhang San also realized the problem with Jingdong East Road." He immediately calmed down and read it very carefully.
Suddenly I heard someone outside the door saying: "Master, Duke Wen is here."
"not see."
Sima Guang responded directly, but as he said that, he was suddenly startled, "Who is here?"
"Wen Gong."
"Please come quickly."
After saying that, he immediately folded the letter and put it into his sleeve along with the envelope.
After a while, Wen Yanbo entered the house.
The two of them bowed to each other, and Wen Yanbo said: "Jun Shi, do you have any news about the finances of Hezhong Mansion?"
"I...."
Sima Guang just opened his mouth and coughed again, "I heard that the finances of Hezhong Mansion are better than in previous years."
Wen Yanbo nodded, "It will definitely be better than Jingdong East Road, but I don't think Wang Jiefu will just admit defeat. You have to be fully prepared."
You must not have guessed that he actually wanted to take credit for the Hezhong Mansion. Sima Guang muttered to himself, but said: "This fact speaks louder than words."
Wen Yanbo said: "That being said, you still have to be careful."
Sima Guang hummed.
He did not inform Wen Yanbo of Zhang Fei's letter because the content of the letter was too explosive and he believed that telling anyone would be a betrayal of Zhang Fei.
...
Prince's Mansion.
He looked very similar to Wang Anshi. He bowed his hands respectfully to Wang Anshi and said, "An Guo has met my brother."
This person is Wang Anguo. He, Wang Anshi, and Wang Anshi's son Wang Yu are known as the "Three Kings of Linchuan". Wang Anshi can be ranked among the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and is as famous as him. One can imagine his talent.
The "children of other people's families" are not scary, but "every child of other people's families" and their children's children are scary. This is really disappointing!
"You really haven't changed at all. You are still so polite. There are no outsiders here, so why do we brothers need to be so open to outsiders? Let's sit down."
"Thank you, brother."
Wang Anguo bowed respectfully again, and then sat down. He didn't take a bath, and his appearance was unkempt. This was not the inheritance of their entire Wang family. It seemed that only Wang Yulue had the true biography of Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi shook his head helplessly and suddenly asked: "Anguo, do you know why the officials transferred you back to Beijing?"
Wang Anguo said: "That's for my brother's sake."
Wang Anshi chuckled and said, "Maybe it's because of this, but it's also because of your outstanding abilities. Otherwise, the officials won't really use you."
Wang Anguo remained silent.
Wang Anshi's smile suddenly faded, "I heard that the officials summoned you alone a few days ago."
Wang Anguo nodded slightly.
Wang Anshi said: "I also want to ask you how people talk about the New Deal."
Wang Anguo nodded and said, "Yes."
Wang Anshi asked again: "Then how did you answer?"
Wang Anguo glanced at Wang Anshi and hesitated for a moment, "I was saying that people outside said that you hired people inappropriately and were eager to make money."
Wang Anshi was not angry, but looked a little playful, and continued to ask: "Then what do you think?"
Wang Anguo was silent for a while, "To be honest with my brother, Anguo also thinks so."
Wang Anshi nodded, "You and I, brothers, have often argued about current affairs since we were young, and our arguments have turned red in the face, but we have never come out to argue. I have already expected that you don't like my new policy. The only thing I am dissatisfied with is,
What you think is all told by outsiders rather than seen with your own eyes. You believe outsiders instead of my brother, which really makes me sad."
Wang Anguo said with a smile: "Everyone on the street knows what the New Deal is planning, and there are no outsiders here, so there is no need for my brother to quibble."
Wang Anshi said: "You say I am quibbling, but I say you see wind as rain. It is meaningless to continue fighting like this. We brothers might as well use this to decide the winner."
Wang Anguo looked at Wang Anshi without knowing why.
Wang Anshi said: "After some time, the officials will let you take up a casual position in Jinan Prefecture. You only need to keep an eye on the new policy. If there are any shortcomings, you can write to me. If it is true, then I will
I admit it. What do you think?"
Wang Anguo was stunned for a moment, then nodded...!
"Don't rush to agree yet." Wang Anshi raised his hand and said: "If it is not true, you must fully assist me in implementing the New Deal."
Without hesitation, Wang Anguo said, "It's settled in one word."
Wang Anshi added: "But this is a matter between you and my brothers. I don't want outsiders to know about it, including my sister-in-law."
A flash of doubt flashed in Wang Anguo's eyes, but he didn't think much, nodded and said: "Okay!"
Wang Anshi glanced at Wang Anguo, frowned slightly, and thought to himself, whether what Zhang San said was exaggerated, we will find out once Anguo leaves, and it will not be too late for me to make a decision then.
...
...
Hezhongfu.
Although in the eyes of the people of Hezhong Prefecture, the dozens of people in Jingzhao Prefecture who complained were a big deal, the popularity among the public has always been high.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But whether in the imperial court or in the government, everyone seems to be very calm, at least on the surface, everyone is still busy with their own affairs
Things, such as improving the wine tax, minerals and other systems.
Regarding this matter, Wei Yingfang and others are also very active, because if this matter is not resolved, the procuratorate's sword hanging over their heads will not disappear.
Today, Yuan Jiang came to the imperial court with her own plan to negotiate with the procuratorate.
It means confirming the release of the right to brew wine.
Then, the government started to engage in the wine trade in the same way as merchants.
Of course, this is actually just a formality. Not to mention Zhang Fei, even Su Che has known about it for a long time and agrees with it very much. In fact, this is also the consistent governing philosophy of conservatives. Koi prefers Lao Tzu's rule of inaction, and the court tries its best to
Don't monopolize the supplies that people usually need.
This is also an important reason why they oppose Wang Anshi, because Wang Anshi's ideas are exactly opposite to theirs.
The strategy proposed by Zhang Fei is in line with the ideas of the conservatives and does not conflict with the ideas of the reformists. Because of Wang Anshi’s new law, the government will plunder the business of merchants. Simply put, it is not as good as letting profiteers make this money.
There is actually a certain truth in letting the court make money. After all, profiteers do not use money to help the people. They only know how to make money. It is just that it is a bit difficult to operate because officials are not good people.
Zhang Fei's strategy is relatively compromise. It does not directly seize businessmen's business, but cooperates with businessmen for a win-win situation. This is still in line with the New Deal's governing philosophy. The government personally takes action and allocates funds through the promotion of Changping Division.
Qingmiaoqian first gives the Ma family Jiekupu, and then the Ma family Jiekupu cooperates with those big wine merchants, which emphasizes the use of businessmen's methods to monopolize these interests.
As a middleman, Zhang Fei also prepared a contract similar to a memorandum of understanding between the government and the procuratorate.
Because this is happening now and then. In the past, everyone was secretive and discussed privately, but now we can't. Everyone has to make it clear what is right and what is wrong. How can the government guarantee that after I change it, the procuratorate will not go back on its word and file charges against them?
.
So this memorandum of understanding is actually very simple. It means that the procuratorate understands some illegal tax evasion because it is caused by system flaws. This new system will not pursue the old system's problems.
The government guarantees that the system in this area will be improved.
After signing the contract, Wei Yingfang and the others finally heaved a sigh of relief. The crisis was finally over, and they had the energy to think about other things. They suddenly asked Zhang Fei: "President Zhang, Prosecutor Su, what about Jingzhao Mansion?"
I wonder how you handle the matter of people complaining?"
Zhang Fei said: "Currently, the case has not yet entered or exited the trial process of our imperial court."
Having said this, he turned his head and looked at Su Che.
Su Zhe said: "The evidence provided by those common people is enough for prosecution, but this is only a confession from one party. We have sent people to notify the relevant officials of Jingzhao Prefecture to come to Hezhong Prefecture for investigation."
Of course Wei Yingfang knew about this and asked: "What if they don't come?"
Su Zhe said: "If they don't come, they will only suffer the loss."
Rogue!
When Wei Yingfang heard this, he couldn't help but cursed secretly. They had tried not to file a lawsuit, but the result was a direct verdict from the imperial court. This move was really shameless.
Yuan Jiang stood up and said, "Yuan has other things to deal with, so I'll leave first."
His attitude on this matter is very obvious, he just cares about my business and I will not get involved.
Wei Yingfang was stunned for a moment, slightly embarrassed, and quickly stood up to leave.
After they left, Zhang Fei suddenly said to Su Zhe: "Prosecutor Su, do you still remember that we had a discussion on the patriarchal clan of the squires last year?"
Su Zhe nodded and said, "Of course I remember this."
Zhang Fei said: "I plan to hold a hearing with the squire of Hezhong Prefecture to clarify the responsibilities of both of us."
Su Zhe said slightly surprised: "Can this hearing still be held like this?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Of course you can, but instead of answering the people's questions, we let the people watch how we negotiate with the squires."
Su Che's eyes lit up and he said, "This is a good idea."
They are literati, but they are not afraid of open discussion and even enjoy it. This is the best occasion for literati to show off.
Zhang Fei said: "My relationship with them is not good, so I will trouble Mr. Su Xiao to contact them."
"Can."
Su Che nodded, "I'll go talk to Mr. Fan."
He is also of a different generation from those squires and is not very familiar with them, but Fan Zhen is very familiar with them.
But when talking about Fan Town, Su Che seemed to be thinking of something again, "But recently everyone has been busy with the issue of the Jingzhao Household Land Tax, especially Mr. Fan. He is very concerned about this matter. Isn't this matter a little urgent?
How about delaying the matter further and holding a hearing after this matter is completed?"
Zhang Fei said: "But the evidence in this case is conclusive and not complicated. It will take some time for those officials to come here. We can't just wait. Our imperial court still has a lot of matters to deal with this year."
"That's true." Su Zhe nodded slightly and asked, "Do you think they will come?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Who knows."
Su Che smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to Mr. Fan first."
"It's time to work."
"It should."
...
After Su Che left the imperial court, he went to the Legal Aid Office and informed Fan Zhen of the incident.
Fan Zhen is definitely a supporter of the squire and patriarchal system, but he also supports this hearing, because Zhang Fei is not trying to abolish the squire and patriarchal system, but to determine the responsibilities and obligations of both parties, that is, to set clear rules.
After the last lawsuit over the ban, Fan Zhen also realized the existence of this problem. They were indeed very embarrassed at the time, but because the responsibilities and rights were not clear, the big landowners refused to admit their debt, so Fan Zhen readily agreed.
Help them contact the squires.
During this period, the government also officially announced the new wine and mineral systems.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! From the previous system of selling wine and buying taxes, it has been transformed into a government shareholding system.
The reason is of course not to give in to the Public Security Bureau, but to be very high-minded. The government said that because the tax department introduced the total income and independent declaration system, the previous system of discussing wine cannot be effectively implemented. The reason is that big wine merchants spend money to purchase wine.
Buying the right to brew wine is equivalent to paying a tax in a sense. Although the money paid for the purchase will be deducted in the self-declaration, various types of income taxes will still appear.
question.
It’s not just the income from directly selling wine, but there are also many related benefits. For example, small winemakers will give rebates to big winemakers. Is this considered wine profit? Should it be within the scope of tax exemption?
If there was no purchase tax, everything would be very simple. You would pay as much tax as you make from selling wine.
In order to prevent large winemakers from suffering undue losses, the government decided to liberalize winemaking.
As for minerals, since the government inherently owns the minerals, the government decided to spend 60% on the purchase.
Once this policy was promulgated, the people of Hezhong Prefecture immediately rejoiced, celebrating in various ways, and the streets were filled with a strong aroma of wine.
It’s really a celebration for everyone.
Lifting the right to brew wine is simply what the people dream of. In fact, the government will not take care of anyone who doesn't secretly brew some private wine to make their mouth dry. However, this is illegal after all, so some evil officials will
Use this to extort people.
If you drink alcohol, you have to worry about your life. It’s such an uncomfortable life.
But now you no longer have to worry about this. As long as there are no more than three stoves, it is not considered private wine and you can drink as much as you want.
This is especially true for businessmen. There are only a few who can pay off the wine tax. If most wine merchants want to buy wine, they have to be oppressed, exploited, and controlled by the big wine merchants.
As for the big wine merchants, although they have lost certain monopoly rights, the government has lost more, and their degree of freedom is relatively higher. Moreover, they have secretly reached an agreement with the government, and they will still ensure that they
Certain monopoly rights.
The most important thing is that the Public Security Bureau can ensure that in the cooperation contract between them and the government, they enjoy almost equal status with the government, which is very important.
...
During this period, Fan Zhen had been negotiating with the squires, hoping to hold a hearing. After several days of discussion, the result was finally achieved.
Zhang Fei quickly came to the hall, and immediately raised his hands to Su Che who was standing inside and said, "I just had something to do. I was delayed for a while and made Mr. Su wait for so long. I'm really sorry."
Su Che said hurriedly: "It's okay, I'm only here for a while."
"Mr. Su Xiao, please sit down."
"Thank you"
After the two sat down, Zhang Fei saw that Su Zhe looked strange and seemed to hesitate to speak, so he took the initiative to ask: "What's the matter?"
Su Che glanced at Zhang Fei and said, "That's right, Mr. Fan has already talked to those squires."
Zhang Fei immediately asked: "Don't they agree?"
"That's not true."
Su Zhe said: "Actually, they are also very anxious now because they believe that the public security organs and the judiciary have usurped their power and destroyed the patriarchal system. They are also eager to talk to us, but... alas... they just don't want to talk to us.
Negotiate in the form of a hearing.”
Zhang Fei frowned and roughly guessed what was going on, "I wonder if there is still room for negotiation. In fact, this kind of hearing would be good for both of us."
Su Che shook his head, "Actually, Mr. Fan and I both want to hold it in the form of a hearing, so that both parties can speak clearly, but most of the squires are not willing."
When he spoke, he looked slightly ashamed. He also supported the patriarchal system, but the other party did not dare to do so. It was obviously a sign of guilty conscience, which made him feel very embarrassed. But even so, he still supported the patriarchal system and must ensure that
The imperial power did not extend to counties, but in fact this also involved the rights of scholar-bureaucrats.
"All right!"
Zhang Fei sighed with regret and said: "Then let's do it in the traditional way. In fact, I just took the opportunity to promote the hearing system, not to blackmail them with the hearing. If we talk in the traditional way,
On the contrary, it is very detrimental to them.”
Su Che said hurriedly: "Don't be careless. Their ultimate goal is to preserve their status and power, which is bound to conflict with the public security organs and the law."
"fine."
Zhang Fei said: "I have my own way to deal with them. Please invite them all."
Su Che asked curiously: "What can I do?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "I won't tell you because you are on the same side as them."
"you...!"
Su Che was angry and funny. He couldn't help but cup his hands and said, "What I admire most about President Zhang is his honesty."
Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "What I appreciate most about Mr. Su Xiao is this understanding."
"Ha ha...!"
The two burst out laughing in unison.
Since Zhang Fei spoke so easily, Su Zhe had nothing to say, so together with Fan Zhen, they invited all the squires of Hezhong Prefecture, big and small, to the imperial court. There were about a hundred people in total.
Not only that, many officials from Hezhong Prefecture also came. They could ignore the affairs of Jingzhao Prefecture, but this matter related to everyone's interests.
There is no doubt that they are all on the side of the squires, and their opinions are very consistent, that is, they must ensure the rights and interests of the squires and try their best to prevent the public security organs from intervening in the affairs of the countryside.
They are also full of confidence in this, because Zhang Fei does not want to abolish their power, but to clarify their rights and obligations. They are willing to accept the rights and responsibilities, but they must maintain the rural management system and cannot be replaced by the Royal Police.
.
Of course, this is also the reason for their active participation. If Zhang Fei wants to abolish the patriarchal system, they will ignore it.
Su Zhe saw this and was very curious in his heart how Zhang Fei would solve this problem, because he knew that Zhang Fei definitely wanted to let the police, procuratorates and law be brought into the countryside instead of relying entirely on the squires like before.
But this is obviously the bottom line of the squire, which is that the police, prosecutors and law cannot be allowed to enter the countryside under any circumstances. Now they are already very anxious about this.
After a while, Zhang Fei finally came to the lobby, behind which Long Wu and Niu Beiqing were carrying a screen.
Liang Youyi smiled coldly and thought to himself, he is not planning to take classes with us.
This old man really escaped a disaster when he recovered the tax. The reason is that although this old man is small-minded and looks down on Zhang Fei, who was born in Erbi, he is not a miser. When it comes to the choice between reputation and money, he will decisively choose reputation.
Even though he was wandering around and lobbying in various ways, he secretly paid all the taxes himself, which was quite a penny, which made Zhang Fei a little disappointed.
Zhang Fei is not a generous person, and he keeps every account in mind.
After some pleasantries, Zhang Fei got straight to the point and explained his proposal, which was to establish a township committee. At the same time, he drew a power structure diagram of the township committee and the government on the screen.
"What the government values most about the squires is the role they played in the disaster relief process. Therefore, I think we can set up a township committee with Yizhuang as the center, and the purpose is to determine the rights and obligations. It will never appear again in the litigation process.
"The imperial court cannot find a responsible person in the countryside. I think this is the most basic thing. So."
Zhang Fei spread his hands and said, "If you can't accept this, then there is nothing to talk about."
Directly clarifying the bottom line can give you rights, but if problems arise, someone must take responsibility. There is no such thing as not having obligations but having rights.
The squires made eye contact for a while, then Lu Xiaosheng nodded and said: "This request is not excessive, and it is natural."
In fact, they also want to make sure that just based on their moral reputation, they cannot control the people below.
Liang Youyi suddenly said: "We can agree to President Zhang's conditions, but can President Zhang agree to our conditions?"
Zhang Fei asked: "Mr. Liang, I just said it's okay."
"It's a matter of rural laws and laws." Liang Youyi said.
All the squires looked at Zhang Fei.
This is the point they are most concerned about, because at present, the Public Security Bureau is very popular in Hezhong Prefecture, and it seems that they will not be able to defeat it for a while, so they have to discuss how to get along with each other.
After all, the idea is still based on the feudal system, and there is a fundamental contradiction with the public prosecutor and the law.
Zhang Fei said: "Recently, I have carefully studied the township laws of various townships, and they are completely complementary to the laws. For example, the township law of Yongquan Township has an article that prohibits drinking. Although the law does not stipulate that drinking is illegal, it does not stipulate that drinking alcohol is illegal.
, drinking alcohol cannot be prohibited. Of course, from a legal perspective, drinking alcohol will never violate the law.
But what I want to say is that many rural laws are just local customs. They prohibit behaviors that are not prohibited by the law. There are few direct contradictions with the law. For example, if the law stipulates that murder is guilty, the township law cannot stipulate that murder is innocent.
, it can be seen that the latter is a complementary relationship with the former. I can fully support the township law. All you need to do is bring it to the imperial court and report it. If any villagers come to sue, I will give priority to the township law.
Let’s talk about the example of drinking. The law allows drinking, but the township law of Yongquan Township does not allow it. If a villager from Yongquan Township comes to this court to complain, saying that the township committee will punish him because he drinks, I will definitely
His lawsuit was dismissed under township law."
After saying this, Su Che and the others looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.
This concession is huge!
This was completely different from what they expected, and it wasn't even like what Zhang Fei had done.
The same is true for many country squires. This happiness comes so quickly, and they find it unbelievable!
Only Cao Dongdong was dozing there. He was not very interested in the matter, but he had to be present. After all, the matter was closely related to the police station. Fortunately, Fu Shichun next to him was listening carefully.
Liang Youyi was very cautious. This boy was too cunning. He stroked his beard and said, "Since we are going to report to the imperial court, the imperial court can also use this to interfere with our rural laws."
The other squires also nodded.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "If it is just a supplement and does not directly conflict with the law, then I can guarantee that there will be no problems. Moreover, if you don't report it, how can I dismiss their lawsuit?"
Many people nodded. In fact, some villages have taken the initiative to report to the government, but this is not a requirement. If you don't report, there is no problem. But it is different now. Now the public prosecutor is in charge of justice, and the imperial court can
Judgment is made in accordance with the law. If you don’t report it, how can you follow the law?
Is all this true? Liang Youyi was a little confused when he heard this. When did this kid become so reasonable?
Zhang Fei added: "But there is one thing I want to explain."
I knew it was not that simple. Everyone immediately became vigilant. Lu Xiaosheng said: "President Zhang, please speak."
Zhang Fei said: "First of all, the customs here are different in different places, and I don't know. So it's up to you how to establish the rural law. Just report it to the imperial court, because the imperial court must have a basis, but our imperial court will
They only look at the township laws and not the people. Therefore, the township laws should also treat everyone equally.
Let’s talk about the rural law that prohibits drinking. If someone is punished for drinking and comes here to complain, I will reject it. But if someone comes to report, no matter who the other party is, they must be punished.
Although I am the president of the court, if I break the law, I will have to be tried. The reason is the same, and this is reasonable, right?"
After saying this, the whole hall fell into silence.
After Su Zhe heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he secretly exclaimed, this move is really wonderful.
Cai Yanqing and Yuan Jiang looked at each other in tacit understanding, as if to say, this guy is really a genius!
But I saw that the expressions of those squire were a little subtle, and they were all silent.
Liang Youyi opened his mouth several times, but there was no sound.
Seeing that no one answered, Zhang Fei said, "Am I wrong? If you have any opinions, you can raise them."
No one opened his mouth.
Fan Zhen blushed, but he was just a matchmaker and had no right to make decisions for the squires of Hezhong Mansion.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Fei asked again: "What do you mean?"
What's the meaning?
Do you have the nerve to ask?
Do you understand what privilege is?
But these words can only be understood, not spoken, because the patriarchal system originally requires everyone to abide by it, but the legislator is the law enforcer. Of course, it is impossible to treat everyone equally. If everyone abides by it and is supervised by the public prosecutor and the law
, it’s not the public prosecutor’s office intervening in the township law.
In the end, Lu Xiaosheng took the lead in nodding and said: "It should be so."
He turned red after holding it in for so long. It would be very embarrassing if he didn't agree to this condition!
Zhang Fei, however, was reluctant and looked at the others, "Everyone...?"
The other squires also nodded.
Zhang Fei smiled slightly and said: "Then I have no other requirements. In fact, I specifically stated this point just so that I can act in accordance with the law in the future. If I don't make it clear, it may cause misunderstandings."
Everyone was too lazy to pay attention to him.
This time I was really deceived. Who would have thought that he would make such a big compromise and make such a normal request.
Zhang Fei glanced at their mournful expressions, twitched the corner of his mouth, and almost laughed out loud, saying: "Then... then that's it, if you don't have any other requirements."
Liang Youyi nodded and said: "Then let's do this for now."
In fact, there is nothing to talk about.
This is very important!
After that, these squires got up and left.
"What?"
Cao Dongdong rubbed his eyes and looked around, "Is this the end?"
Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "You're awake!"
Cao Dongdong scratched his head in embarrassment and complained to Fu Shichun in a low voice: "You also said that this meeting may take a long time to discuss."
Fu Shichun looked slightly embarrassed and said: "How could I know."
"It's better to end it early."
Cao Dongdong said again: "Anyway, we have all asked for leave. Let's go for a walk and find a place to drink. Zhang San, are you going?"
Zhang Fei said: "You go ahead, I still have some things to deal with."
"Okay, Xiaochun, let's go find Xiaoma."
Cao Dongdong took Fu Shichun and left. As he went out, he asked, "What did you just say?"
Fu Shichun said: "Our police station will be very busy from now on."
Cao Dongdong nodded and said: "This is a good thing. I'm afraid it's too busy. People are busy doing business recently. I haven't met a thief for a long time. It's really boring."
"???"
Listening to Cao Dongdong's complaints, Su Che smiled helplessly, and then said to Zhang Fei: "Like Yanei, I didn't expect it to end so soon."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I said that if we talk in this way, it will be even more disadvantageous for them."
Su Che chuckled: "Your idea is really wonderful, and Su is very impressed. Based on this, it is estimated that the rural laws in many villages will become insignificant. At most, they will be limited to some local customs. In the end, they will still be completely based on laws."
Lord.”
It is human nature to be strict with others and to be lenient with yourself.
When rural laws also have restrictions on them, the gentry will certainly not dare to set them too strictly. Even if they are willing, the big landowners in the countryside will not be willing.
According to what Zhang Fei said, no matter how you set it up, you must treat everyone equally. Then once someone reports that they violated the township law, the imperial court will definitely make the decision for them, and it will never end.
Just like the prohibition on drinking alcohol, can everyone really abide by it?
A big landowner hides in a deep house and drinks a little. Who knows, even if you know you can't defeat him, but if the common people drink, they will definitely be reported.
The key point is that the imperial court can also be called, in a euphemistic way, to defend rural laws.
The only option is to cancel, which is really too harsh.
In this way, the law will be filled in and the power of the squire will be restricted.
Zhang Fei said: "But I didn't do it intentionally, but the public prosecutor and the law required us to do this. I just explained this to them first to avoid misunderstandings later."
Su Zhe said: "This couldn't be better."
...
ferry!
"The lower official has met Magistrate Lu."
Guo Gang, who had gone and returned, came to the inn next to the ferry again.
Lu Gongru said: "Have they received a summons from the procuratorate?"
"I received it." Guo Gang nodded: "But they all expressed dissatisfaction."
"Don't accept it?" Lu Gongru said in surprise.
Guo Gang said: "The reason why the imperial court handed over the judicial power of Shaanxi Road to President Zhang is to allow him to build the Public Security Bureau on Shaanxi Road. Since they have not yet built the Public Security Bureau in Jingzhao Mansion, we should not be subject to the control of the Public Security Bureau. After all, both
The system is too different. We don’t have the Royal Police or the Procuratorate, but we have to be bound by this. This is really unfair to us."
Lu Gongru stroked his beard, nodded and said, "That makes sense."
But as he said that, he added: "But if you say that, then President Zhang may take advantage of the situation and send people to Jingzhao Mansion to establish the Public Security Bureau."
Guo Gang said: "He is acting according to orders. Whether we want to or not, we can't stop him!"
A smile flashed in Lu Gongru's eyes, "That's true. Okay, I'll go talk to President Zhang and the others."
Guo Gang hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Magistrate Lu."
