At this moment, it is no exaggeration to say that the entire Gyeonggi Province is in a state of national deliberation.
Because as they studied the "Provisional Law", they gradually discovered that this "Provisional Law" has many special features.
It's not that the content subverts everyone's understanding. If it were just that, it would definitely not pass the Legislative Council.
Because the people who currently control the Legislative Council are still scholar-bureaucrats.
The scholar-bureaucrats must still follow Confucianism, and the entire "Provisional Law" is still based on Confucian ethics.
For example, filial piety is ubiquitous, and another example is maintaining the authority of the husband.
It’s not that Zhang Fei came with new doctrines and broke Confucian values. Nor is the concept of legal system and Confucianism contradictory. Zhang Fei took the relationship between husband and wife in class as an example, but he did not emphasize the equality of husband and wife. He just emphasized The wife also has the right to defend her legitimate rights and interests and does not break that boundary.
The wife still has to abide by women's ethics, but if the husband abuses his wife, the wife can sue the official and file a lawsuit to safeguard her legitimate rights and interests.
But the key is that all the rights and interests of all parties are written out, and this is the most special thing about the entire "Provisional Law".
The original ancient legal principle was that "the punishment cannot be known, and the power cannot be measured." However, this principle obviously does not apply to the public prosecutor's office, so this "Provisional Law" is written in most regulations. Very clear, especially the division of rights and interests.
This makes many powerful people feel at a loss.
If you don't write it clearly, at the critical moment, you will be competing with who has the bigger fist, but you have to write it clearly, everyone must act according to the rules.
This makes them more constrained.
But then again, many of these regulations are written based on precedents and decrees, such as work injury cases, demolition subsidies, etc.
This all exists, Zhang Fei did not come up with it. Could it be that if it is written into the law, the powerful will be afraid?
of course not.
If there was no public security system, this "Interim Law" would not have caused such a big response. The key lies in execution.
In the past, laws that harmed the interests of the powerful were often promulgated, but they were often not implemented, including the emperor's edicts. But now, everyone knows that once promulgated, they will be implemented in this way.
Someone has already calculated that the current number of police officers in various states and counties is about ten times that of the original yamen and patrol positions, and in some places it is even twenty times.
This is what worries everyone the most. The other party really has the strength to enforce the law strictly.
But now they can't stop it, so they have to ask clearly. No one wants to be the one who stands out. At least smart people will not go head-to-head with the public prosecutor and the law on this topic.
Fu Bi, Su Shi, and Fan Chunren are the favorites in everyone's eyes. Everyone always tries their best to get close to them, and then ask according to the regulations of the "Provisional Law" whether what I do is illegal and whether it is okay to do so. .
Not to mention the bookstore, long-term employment fees soared to three or four times.
In the past, those scholar-bureaucrats really looked down on these tea-eaters, Erbi, but now they can only gradually accept this reality.
However, the judicial official was busy responding to everyone's inquiries and asking for advice, while the administrative officials were silently making a fortune.
Last year's final tax revenue is finally out.
Xue Xiang also reported to Zhao Xu as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, based on last year's tax revenue, including tax coins, the tax revenue was only about 20% less than the previous year. However, if tax coins are not included, the imperial court will have embezzled this year's finances in advance.
The capital of Gyeonggi has about two million guan."
This tax coin is spent and collected again. If the tax coin is a one-time use, it means that the state treasury has spent so much money, but this year's finance has been used in advance.
Zhao Xu nodded slightly and asked again: "Whether it is a success or a failure, the third envoy will tell me carefully."
Xue Xiang asked: "It can be considered a relatively big success. In the Gyeonggi area alone, although the court spent 2 million yuan, more than 100 police stations and more than 20 prisons have been built, rivers and embankments have been repaired, and hundreds of acres of land have been reclaimed.
The remaining canals.
These were originally meant to be spent, but now they not only help the people survive the famine, but also promote this year's harvest and save nearly 100,000 guan in this year's expenditure."
Zhao Xu asked curiously: "How did you save these 100,000 yuan?"
Xue Xiangdao: "Because the current food prices and commodity prices have become cheaper, the court will save a lot of money by purchasing these goods. Moreover, if all purchases are made with banknotes, not counting the value of the banknotes themselves, the court can earn nearly
Two hundred thousand guan, because this can not only save the court's losses, but also promote the growth of commercial taxes."
Zhao Xu nodded and asked again: "So as long as paper money is issued, the finance will be restored immediately?"
Xue Xiangdao: "It's not just recovery, it can also grow a lot. In addition, the accounts of Jingdong East Road have been sent over. After combining it with the finance of Gyeonggi Province, I found a surprise, that is, our expenditure on Gyeonggi District and Jingdong East Road.
A reduction of nearly half a million dollars."
Zhao Xu was shocked and said: "Is this because of the Business Law?"
Xue Xiang hurriedly said: "The business method is only second, this is all because of your Majesty's foresight."
Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment and said, "What does this have to do with me?"
Xue Xiangdao: "Because His Majesty has turned some of the Imperial Guards in the Gyeonggi region and all the Imperial Guards on Jingdong East Road into the Royal Police. In the past, the Imperial Guards were concentrated in one or several places, and each county had to transport grain and grass there. The losses were very alarming.
But now the imperial army has been broken into pieces and turned into royal police scattered in various counties, which can collect food locally. Among them, the loss on Jingdong East Road has been reduced by nearly 90%, and the loss in Gyeonggi Province has also been reduced a lot."
After all, the transportation conditions in ancient times were very harsh, and the road losses were very alarming. Why was Wang Shao desperately trying to find a way to cultivate land in the Xihe area? Even if I spent twice the price to buy grain locally, I could save a lot for the court.
money.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Xu couldn't help but take a breath. These three redundants are really well-deserved. With a little arrangement, they can save so much money, but it is really outrageous. But
I immediately felt complacent, this was all my wise decision.
Xue Xiang secretly glanced at Zhao Xu and couldn't help but feel proud that he was flattering him rightly.
Zhao Xu added: "Speaking of this matter, I have decided to transform part of the Hebei Forbidden Army into the Royal Police. What do you think?"
Xue Xiang immediately said: "I very much agree. Last year, the finances of the disaster-stricken areas, but Hebei's finances were still not good. This is because the local people have to support the northern Xinjiang defense line all the year round. At the same time, they suffered from floods, and they had to do heavy labor. This
The people's power has been exhausted, and we must find ways to restore Hebei's people's power as soon as possible.
Our government gives so many Sui coins to the Liao State every year. If we have to spend so much military expenditure, then why do we give so many Sui coins."
Zhao Xu frowned and sighed: "Even so, you must be on guard against others."
Xue Xiangdao: "Your Majesty has misunderstood what I meant. What I want to say is that the Northern Dynasty values these coins very much, and they will not easily break the alliance.
Therefore, His Majesty can use the Royal Police to build a line of defense in Hebei and maintain law and order in various places. If the Northerners really invade from the south, the Royal Police can immediately form a force to resist the Northerners.
At the same time, we must make good use of the good year coins. If they invade once, we will use this as an excuse to negotiate with them and let the northerners weigh the pros and cons.
The key point is that the people's power in Hebei is simply not enough to resist the Northerners. Your Majesty's arrangement will give you a better chance."
This time, disaster relief has been very successful in all places, but Hebei has not shown any improvement. This is because previous natural and man-made disasters have left Hebei in a mess and its population has decreased a lot.
The defense of northern Xinjiang mainly relies on Hebei. In this case, you have no choice but to fight. Therefore, Xue Xiang believes that restoring the people's power in Hebei is the top priority.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile when he heard this and said: "You and I thought of getting together."
Then asked: "By the way! When do you plan to issue banknotes?"
Xue Xiangdao: "Xiang Wang believes that it will take some time to publicize it first, but your Majesty can rest assured that as long as the banknotes are successfully issued, the financial problem will be solved."
.....
Genuine bookstore.
"Xueshi Wang's article is really...!"
"Stop it!"
Wang Anshi raised his hand and said, "Stop flattering me. You don't have the talent. Just say it, okay?"
Zhang Fei said angrily: "I'm ready to flatter you, of course it can be done! But I still have to say, to be able to write this kind of popular article so fluently, Bachelor Wang is really a wonderful writer."
Wang Anshi laughed indifferently and said: "But now everyone is discussing the law. Is this a good time to publicize it?"
Zhang Fei said: "As the saying goes, if people don't have immediate worries, they must have long-term worries. In other words, if people have immediate worries, they must have no long-term worries. This method is about long-term worries, and money is about near-term worries. Once this article is published, it will inevitably change the direction of public opinion.
of."
Seeing that he was full of confidence, Wang Anshi felt relieved and said: "Now Xue Xiang plans to let the Third Division issue banknotes. What do you think the Majia Jiekupu should do?"
This old man is really "wholeheartedly serving the country"! How could Zhang Fei not know what Wang Anshi was planning, and said quietly: "Then it depends on what Bachelor Wang is planning?"
Wang Anshi asked: "How do you say this?"
Zhang Fei said: "If Academician Wang just wants to make a lot of money for the government through banknotes, the Majia Jiekupu is actually dispensable. But if Academician Wang wants to revitalize commerce by issuing coins, thereby increasing business taxes, do
When the water flows steadily, we must rely on the Ma family to solve the problem of Kupu."
Wang Anshi asked: "If the imperial court directly buys Jiekupu, can't it increase commercial taxes?"
Zhang Fei said: "In terms of revitalizing commerce alone, the official system has never been successful. The advantage of the official system is that it can quickly accumulate wealth for the country, and then it collapses and the trade law is adopted."
Wang Anshi fell silent immediately.
These are all bloody facts.
Under the government system, businessmen have never had an easy time, and even businessmen have a hard time. Can business taxes still increase?
The key officialdom system is weak and the corruption is so fast that it is jaw-dropping.
Zhang Fei said again: "Scholar Wang, this paper money is different from salt. It is in conflict with the official government, because paper money is demanded by merchants, and merchants drive transactions, so that more people demand paper money, and official government officials are responsible for it."
If you try to do it all, it will definitely reduce transactions, and there will be no demand for banknotes, so it will definitely fail."
Wang Anshi frowned and said: "But we must also be careful of businessmen. Those businessmen are only interested in profit and forget their loyalty. They are unreliable at critical times. Now that the country is facing so many difficulties, we still have to find ways to make the national treasury richer."
Although he uses many businessman methods in financial management, he personally does not like businessmen. What he pursues is Central Europe and the national economy.
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Of course, the imperial court cannot lose control of the businessmen, so what I suggest is cooperation. Now Majia Jiekupu also has to serve the country, because the country is the major shareholder. The third division only needs statistics
We decide how much money to issue and how much to take back, and leave the rest to the merchants, which can also save costs for the court."
Wang Anshi nodded slightly, "That's okay, but we can't just cooperate with the Ma family."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It depends on the arrangement of the court."
...
After seeing Wang Anshi off, Zhang Fei handed Wang Anshi's article to Hou Donglai and prepared to go back.
After getting on the carriage, he suddenly saw Li Bao sitting inside, and subconsciously said: "Brother Bao?"
"Sanlang can just call me Xiaobao from now on." Li Bao said quickly.
"ah?"
Zhang Fei looked stunned.
Li Bao immediately changed the subject and said: "There is a rebellion in Yangzhou."
Zhang Fei was startled and said again: "But Bachelor Wang didn't mention this just now."
Li Bao said: "The scale is not large at present. The court will know about it in a few days."
Zhang Fei asked: "What's going on?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Bao said: "Similar to Jingdong East Road, the Public Security Bureau and Taxation Department brought the warehouse tax to Yangzhou, which immediately aroused the hostility of many local people.
It happened that when the police station was rectifying the fishery, they encountered a group of strongmen who occupied the river, charged fishermen, and even tried to collect taxes from passing ships. A fight broke out between the two sides. The strongmen took advantage of the situation and rebelled. It is said that this group of strongmen also followed
The local sailors have connections, and many local landowners are also taking advantage of the situation and starting to cause trouble in various towns and villages, hoping to cause chaos and boycott the Public Security Bureau and the Taxation Department."
"This is their old routine."
"Before the police, procuratorate, and law came out, this trick was enduring."
"You just said that that group of strongmen are related to the sailors?"
"Um."
Li Bao nodded.
Zhang Fei said: "Then it doesn't matter, the police station should be able to handle it."
Li Bao said sarcastically: "It's not right for Sanlang to say so. He is more or less my Song Dynasty Forbidden Army."
Zhang Fei asked: "Is it difficult?"
Li Bao was silent for a while and said: "Sanlang is right, it really doesn't matter. I guess we will receive good news when the court receives the news."
.....
Yangzhou.
Beside the river, hundreds of Royal Police officers were seen blocking a pier, and the fishing boats docked at the pier were all chained and sealed by the Royal Police.
This immediately attracted many people to watch.
"What happened! Has the dragon crossing the river been caught?"
"Yesterday evening, he was caught, and all the property of Cross River Dragon was seized."
"The methods of these royal police are really powerful!"
"Isn't that right? Back then, the Dragon Crossing the River was so tyrannical in these waters that even the sailors didn't dare to provoke it. However, it only took a few days for the rebellion to be captured alive."
"Hmph, those sailors and the dragon crossing the river are all in the same group."
"keep your voice down."
"What are you afraid of? Today is different from the past. We have the Royal Police. Do we need to be afraid? Haven't you heard that the Royal Police represents the government and protects the legitimate rights and interests of us ordinary people?"
"That's true. How about we file a complaint."
"By the time we went to file a complaint, the day lilies were already cold, and it was said that a commander in the naval camp was also arrested."
"ah?"
...
Inside Yangzhou City.
But I saw more than fifty royal police officers holding down more than ten people and walking out of a large house.
Among them, he was strong and strong. While struggling, he shouted: "You kids, how dare you catch me? Do you know who my uncle is?"
A young man standing leisurely at the door said: "Li Jian, Commander of the Yangzhou Navy."
The man said: "You know?"
"More than knowing."
The young man smiled and said: "He is also under investigation at the police station, but he only scolded you for half an hour."
"...?"
The big man was immediately stunned.
This young man was Ma Xiaoyi. He and Fu Shichun had already rushed to Yangzhou from Xuzhou.
Establishing a police station is like an assembly line job for Ma Xiaoyi. He is very skilled. After establishing a stronghold, he immediately goes to the next stronghold.
The key point is that compared to before, the police station has more manpower, so when it comes to fighting, it's really fun.
...
Yangzhou Imperial Court.
"Qi Xiye, Qi Xiye, look at you. This has turned the whole Yangzhou into a smoky mess. There are shouts of beating and killing everywhere. What on earth do you want to do?"
A white-haired old man angrily scolded Qi Hui who was sitting on top.
There were several old men with gray hair and childlike faces sitting next to them.
Qi Hui said: "Mr. Yan, there is a rebellion, are we officials turning a blind eye?"
The old man surnamed Yan said: "But before you came, everything was peaceful here. Why did someone rebel when you came?"
Qi Hui asked: "Why?"
Yan Laodao: "Isn't it because of the warehouse tax of the tax department? Especially the warehouse tax, it is simply robbery. People save a little food and still have to pay tax. It is really shocking. I have never heard of it since ancient times.
Pass."
Qi Hui sighed: "As for the warehouse tax, I also have doubts about it, but it is useless for you to blame me. This was not set by me, but by the Legislative Council and approved by the officials. We must
We must strictly enforce the law.”
"We have appealed to the court."
Yan Laodao: "No one will ever pay this warehouse tax."
Qi Hui hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's up to you whether to hand it over or not, but I would like to advise you not to confront the tax department until the court changes this bill."
Another old man said: "Can the Taxation Department still arrest us all?"
Qi Hui said: "Based on the law enforcement situation of the Taxation Department in various places, even if the Yangzhou prefect refuses to hand over, they will arrest the person, and they will definitely arrest him."
Several old men looked horrified.
Qi Hui said sincerely: "To tell you the truth, I really don't agree with this warehouse tax, but I really advise you not to provoke the tax department. The rumors you are hearing now are all true.
Yes, they can really use siege equipment to break down the gate of your mansion. It is said that it is better than before, and they will also use gunpowder to attack in appropriate places."
"They are so lawless, can't you control them?"
"If it was lawless, it wouldn't be scary. But the problem is that they all work with laws and regulations. They usually take action only when they have ironclad evidence, so the imperial court will not be able to help you at that time."
"...!"
After a brief silence, Yan Lao raised his hand and angrily shouted: "I still don't believe it, they dare to do this. Just wait and they will reap the rewards."
After saying this, he left with his companions.
Qi Hui couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
At this time, a chief clerk came in and said, "Report to President Qi, news has just arrived. According to statistics from the Xuzhou Imperial Court, the Taxation Department has prosecuted more than 400 landowners in Xuzhou, and has recovered up to 120,000 yuan."
The fine is three times the commercial tax in Xuzhou in previous years.”
Last year, Yangzhou did not start to popularize the new tax law, but Xuzhou has already.
Qi Hui said in surprise: "So fast? The Taxation Department should have only gone there last year."
The bookkeeper said: "It's hard to say. A lot of tax policemen will pop up on Jingdong East Road in a short time. No one knows how many tax policemen are hidden in Yangzhou right now."
Qi Hui wondered: "Have they not heard about the situation on Jingdong East Road?"
The bookkeeper sighed: "Many big landowners are misers. If you ask them for an extra penny, it's like killing them. They must be desperate to see the Yellow River!"
Qi Hui shook his head helplessly and said: "The Taxation Department was raised by these misers. There will definitely be another bloody storm at the end of this year!"
...
...
Bianliang, Tokyo.
Headquarters Police Station.
Bang bang bang!
"It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense!"
I saw Cao Dongdong alone in the house, yelling and smashing teapots and cups all over the floor.
The Royal Police outside the door was trembling.
"Why is Yanei so angry?"
"It is said that a good news came from Yangzhou, saying that Chief Ma and the others had captured another group of rebels."
"This is a good thing!"
"Yes! I don't know why Yanei is so angry."
"Go and ask?"
"you go?"
"Old rules."
I saw five or six Royal Police officers gathered together. One of them held several chopsticks and each of them took one.
After a comparison, the policeman with the shortest draw shivered immediately, and then came to the door tremblingly, "What...what happened made Yanei so angry?"
"What's up?"
Cao Dongdong bulged his eyes and said: "I went north last year and got very angry with the Liao people. When I came back, everyone blamed me for being impulsive. That coward Zhang San became a hero instead. That's all. But that guy Xiao Ma is still there."
Do you think I won’t be angry when Yangzhou captures the rebels?”
The policeman was stunned.
Cao Dongdong said again: "Those strong men in the capital are really worthless. They don't dare to make trouble, so I have nothing to do all day long. It's all my fault that Zhang San, who didn't let me go in the first place. Remember, if Zhang San comes next time,
Give me a stick and blast them out. Huh? Where are the people?"
...
In a wine shop next to the pier, a middle-aged man wearing a long gown and two water transport officials were sitting inside.
"Martial Law?"
The middle-aged man hummed: "This will be taken care of in a few days, so we might as well call it a river rat."
One of the water transport officials whispered: "I heard that the Yangzhou canal operation and the Yangzhou navy secretly contributed. Not only were the entire army wiped out, but a commander in the navy camp was also implicated."
"Are those sailors just watching from the side?"
"The Public Security Bureau is so cunning. Before this person arrived, he published several issues of newspapers and periodicals, boasting that the Public Security Bureau had recovered military pay for the soldiers in Hezhong Prefecture, and also said that the soldiers might join the police station. Those soldiers were eager for their commander to be arrested.
I heard that there was silence in the military camp over there, and almost all the ordinary soldiers supported the public security and the law."
"Sigh...is it really the end of the world?"
.....
Li Bao's guess was correct. The imperial court had just learned about the rebellion in Yangzhou, and a good report came from the police station. There was a rebellion in Yangzhou, but we quickly eliminated it. Remember to credit us.
Why are those policemen so brave? They are willing to fight against these rebels without their lives. If you ask for credit, you will get credit. They all know that many places do not have police stations. If they perform well in Yangzhou, they are likely to be promoted to police officers in the future.
Chief, many of the current police chiefs in Hebei were promoted from Jingdong East Road.
This caused a real ups and downs in the mood of the powerful people in the capital. In fact, whether it was Wu Tian on Jingdong East Road or Guojiang Long in Yangzhou, there were shadows of the powerful people in the capital.
They don't like to cause trouble in the capital, but they instigate trouble in local areas.
But I didn't expect that it would be so vulnerable. It is said that this time, the tax department has not even taken action.
this....
It’s completely depressing!
On the other hand, Zhang Fei and the others did not take it seriously at all. This was all expected, and now he is busy launching a public opinion war.
The first article has been published, and it directly points out that there is currently a very serious money shortage in Gyeonggi Province, and also points out the bad consequences it will bring.
You must know that although Wang Anshi wrote this article, the content was thought up by Zhang Fei. He must know the harm of this money shortage much better than Wang Anshi. Of course, he also adheres to the propaganda method and tries to be as serious as possible.
, I wish I could say that all the shops will be closed tomorrow.
Because as far as news is concerned, everyone likes to watch something that scares them.
He stole the limelight in an instant.
Nowadays, no one is talking about the law, and everyone is talking about the money shortage.
Immediately, Zhang Fei released a second article, implying that the landlord had taken away the coins.
Those big landowners gave up at first, and immediately published articles to criticize us. It was the imperial court that used warehouse taxes to force us to sell grain and make money away. Do you have the nerve to blame us?
But the businessmen quit and immediately started fighting with the landlords, because business was currently in a period of expansion, and they just hired a lot of people and were ready to start a big business. As a result, there was a shortage of money at this time, which was indeed very fatal.
They are indeed facing a bankruptcy crisis. They dare not blame the court, but can only blame the landlords.
I don’t blame you for making money, but if you don’t spend money, it’s your fault. You landlords now use silk cloth instead of money to buy things.
The landlord also retorted, "No one uses it, it's not us who don't use it, so why should we only be blamed?"
Zhang Fei issued a third article. It is true that the landlords cannot be blamed, but the Third Division is to blame. The emperor has already approved the issuance of another batch of tax coins to rescue the merchants. After all, the merchants contributed business taxes, and the court could not let it go. But why did the Third Division delay?
I haven’t posted yet. It is said that a certain official of the Third Division is still visiting a brothel and is very leisurely.
Someone took the lead, and the landowner and the businessman immediately reached a settlement and pointed the conflict directly at the Third Division.
It's all Sansi's fault.
Three divisions.
"Xianggong Wang, I finally know why Xianggong Wang took his article and asked Zhang San to check it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xue Xiang, who had been scolded miserably, was extremely happy at this time.
Well done!
That’s right!
He didn't know that it could be promoted like this.
Wang Anshi sighed: "As for publicity, I have actually struggled with it, but it turns out that even ten Wang Anshi are no match for Zhang San! You hurry up and prepare!"
.....
Legislative Council.
Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, and two other young people, including Su Shi and Fan Chunren, were sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun and reading newspapers.
Wen Yanbo closed the newspaper, shook his head and said: "This is not an Erbi. If you become a liar, you won't have to worry about not being able to make a living!"
Lu Gongzhu laughed and said: "In the past, everyone would sneer or even scold anyone who wanted to issue banknotes. But after these three articles, everyone thought that the imperial court was trying to save them by issuing banknotes. Haha, this is really
I can’t accept it!”
Su Shi sneered and said: "This is not a very sophisticated plan. You can see Zhang San's trick at a glance. Why so many people believe it is really puzzling."
Sima Guang on the side smiled and said: "Su Zizhan, please don't say that. Write a few articles and see if you can reverse this public opinion."
Su Shi immediately said: "Mr. Jun Shi, don't try to provoke me. It's not that I don't have to write, but I'm afraid of delaying the imperial court's plans."
Sima Guang chuckled and said, "You write, I'll be responsible for anything that happens."
Su Shi said: "One word is settled."
Fu Bi glanced at Sima Guang with a hint of reproach, and then said: "The matter has come to an end, so don't add any extraneous matters."
Sima Guang just smiled.
In other aspects, he would still worry, but in this aspect, he was not worried at all. He and Wang Anshi could not do it, and he did not believe that Su Shi could do it.
Fan Chunren suddenly said: "Fu Gong, Zhang San's three articles did not mention a word about the harm of banknotes. How is this different from deceiving people? Zizhan and I stay here just for these banknotes. I think there is
It is necessary to remind everyone of the harm paper money does to the country and its people."
Wen Yanbo nodded and said: "What Chunren said is very reasonable. If you just point out the harm of paper money, it will not be considered as undermining the court's policy."
Fu Bi sighed: "It's up to you."
Su Shi couldn't help but be secretly happy.
He was dissatisfied with Zhang Sanjiu and immediately wrote an article "On Paper Money" and published it in newspapers.
I have to say that this guy's opinions are really concise and to the point, and the article must be very beautiful and gorgeous. In just over a hundred words, he explained the harmful effects of paper money.
Not only does it reveal the harm to the people, but it also reveals the harm to the country, which is the risk of bank runs.
At that time, the country will face the cruel choice of credibility bankruptcy and financial bankruptcy.
As soon as this article was published, it immediately aroused huge heated discussion and won the support of many readers.
Zhang family.
"Have you ever had any issues with Su Zizhan?"
Xu Zun asked.
Zhang Fei said: "No!"
Xu Zundao: "Then why did he write this article?"
Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "I don't know exactly, maybe he is really worried about banknotes?"
Xu Zun frowned and said, "Then how do you plan to deal with it?"
Xu Zhiqian next to her said: "Mr. Su really overestimates his abilities this time. In this aspect, no one can beat Zhang San."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I won't join in the fun with him. It's useless for him to just talk without practicing. I have asked Li Si to go to Ma's house and ask Ma's house to slightly increase the price of coins in terms of interest.
, as long as the money shortage worsens, it will be useless no matter how right you say it.”
Just as he was talking, Wang Anshi suddenly came over in a hurry.
"Zhongtu is at home too!"
"What's wrong with Mr. Wang?" Xu Zun asked curiously.
Wang Anshi smiled sheepishly and said, "Have you read Su Shi's articles?"
Xu Zun nodded and said, "We were still discussing this matter just now."
Wang Anshi immediately took out an article, "I also wrote an article to refute him."
Zhang Fei said: "Scholar Wang, we don't need to pay attention to him. As long as we slightly raise the price of coins, his articles can be ignored."
Wang Anshi said: "No, he is clearly provoking. We must fight back. Otherwise, it will appear that we are not confident enough."
He had been angry with Su Shi for a long time, and this time he had to teach him a lesson.
Zhang Fei reluctantly took it and took a look, "Although Bachelor Wang's rebuttal is well-founded, if it is aimed at Prosecutor General Su, it is not strong enough and cannot hit him where it hurts."
Isn't this enough? Wang Anshi asked humbly: "What's your best plan?"
Zhang Fei said: "Su Ziyou rose to prominence in Shaanxi and was well-known in the northwest. In comparison, Mr. Su is slightly worse. However, Hezhong Prefecture was the first to issue salt banknotes on a large scale, and Su Ziyou's response strategy was to fulfill the duties of the Procuratorate. His duty is to defend the rights and interests of the people, because he knows the pros and cons of paper money, and this is the difference between the two brothers.
This is what you would do if you really want to hurt Mr. Su...!"
Wang Anshi was horrified when he heard this, "This move of yours is really cruel... It's very subtle, very subtle. Just write it like this. We have to make him angry this time. That guy is never forgiving, so we have to do it well this time." Teach him a lesson”
Xu Zun and Xu Zhiqian silently glared at Zhang Fei, "You are too vicious. Su Shi can still argue with reason, but you actually used Su Zhe to make trouble."
Wang Anshi, who grasped the essence, couldn't wait to write an article at Zhang's house.
As soon as this article was published, Su Shi almost fainted out of breath!
First of all, the article admits all the disadvantages mentioned by Su Shi, and secondly, it describes how Hezhong Mansion succeeded, thereby analyzing the government's approach to paper money and how to avoid those disadvantages.
Finally, he praised Su Che and said that Su Che was very aware of the pros and cons of banknotes. Su Che was indispensable for the success of salt banknotes in Hezhong Prefecture. It is no wonder that Su Che is famous in the northwest.
Not a word was mentioned about Su Shi.
But the underlying meaning is that the two brothers are both prosecutors and are facing the same matter, so why are they so different?
Maybe this is the reason for the brothel prosecutor's office.
Legislative Council.
Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo both sympathized with Su Shi. This article was indeed very vicious and hit Su Shi's Achilles' heel.
It was hard for Su Shi to refute, because the one standing in the way was Su Che!
Although Su Che expressed concerns about banknotes in his letters to him, he did not firmly oppose salt banknotes in Hezhong Mansion. He only cared about salt banknotes. If there was any oversight, he would come to his door and ask the government to rectify it.
Sima Guang was the only one who was still adding insult to injury, "Oh...Zhang San is really despicable. He even used Zi You as an excuse to win without force!"
When he said this, everyone laughed.
Because Su Shi was notoriously venomous and loved to ridicule others, Sima Guang was often ridiculed by him. This must be done to add insult to injury.
Su Shi said vehemently: "I was talking about paper money, but he was talking about me. This is actually putting the cart before the horse, and he can't be considered to have won."
Lu Gongzhu smiled and said: "As soon as you wrote that article, the Ma family immediately raised the value of coins. Now it is much cheaper to buy coins to pay interest than to buy silk cloth, which has caused the value of coins to rise again.
, the money shortage has further intensified, and now more people are calling on the court to quickly issue banknotes."
Su Shi suddenly became depressed.
Fu Bi smiled and said, "Zizhan! You just lost because you didn't think of a better way."
