Chapter 83 Two dozen (seven)

After Wang Quanle had his breakfast, he immediately went to the work group. After entering the door, without any recommendation, Wang Quanle's eyes fell on a young man. The man's handsome appearance showed that his parents' appearance must be extraordinary. The matching appearance was the calmness of this person. Most people were always a little unconfident, but the young man was not anxious at all, as if he was always waiting for others to speak first.

Only middle-aged people from wealthy families have such calmness. Moreover, this person's appearance is too young and does not look like he is in his thirties. This makes Wang Quanle feel a little unworthy of the information of the "Prince". The Zhao official family promulgated laws, and it is illegal to give gifts between officials. In the minor cases, it is denied, and the worst is dismissed from public office. In terms of military style, the Zhao official family clearly stated in Article 1 of the law that no one in the country is allowed to give gifts on the birthday of the official family, and those who violate the violations are dismissed.

Wang Quanle never gave a gift, but knew that Zhao Jiaren is 55 years old now. Naturally, there must be information in the officialdom. It is said that the Zhao Guan family got married at the age of 20 and had an eldest son at the age of 21. Zhao Qian is now 33 and 34 years old. Although the young man in front of him has dark skin, he looks like an ordinary person who is 26 or 7 years old. This is much worse. At this time, people from the Political and Legal Affairs Committee came to recommend him, and Wang Quanle then confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed the eldest son of the Zhao Guan family.

"I didn't expect Team Leader Zhao to be so young." Wang Quanle smiled.

Zhao Qian was used to this reaction. Maybe his father knew how to maintain health, and Zhao Qian's family looked much younger than others, so Zhao Qian didn't touch this question at all, but just replied: "Hello, Prefect Wang."

After saying hello, Wang Quanle immediately began to report on his work. At the beginning, Wang Quanle violently criticized the tax police for their actions that undermined the judicial system. "...I also asked Team Leader Zhao to return to the capital to report to the official family. Our colleagues in the Luoyang government felt that the law could not be like this. Tax police could arrest people, but tax police could not wait for private halls!"

Zhao Qian listened quietly. After Wang Quanle made his final summary, Zhao Qian replied: "I understand. I wonder if there is anything else to say to the prefect Wang?"

Wang Quanle's heart tightened. He had never seen such a calm reaction, but the status of those guys did not exceed that of Wang Quanle. If they were subordinates and had such a cold attitude, Wang Quanle could scold them. If they were of the same level, Wang Quanle could stay away from them. Now facing such a cold superior, he could still decide Wang Quanle's superior. Wang Quanle found that he had no experience in dealing with it. This seemed to be shouting towards the dark well, and no matter what sound it would disappear.

But in order to dig water and quench thirst, Wang Quanle had to go to the well. This felt so bad. Even the old officials who had been around for a long time could not be so calm and slick. I don’t know how the Zhao official family educated the prince, and it was not close at all.

Zhao Qian did not expect Wang Quanle's idea. He was just waiting to collect more information. He came to Luoyang for the first time, so he naturally had to be cautious in his words and actions. People at the grassroots level hated him in some places, and they didn't know whether it was because they were worried about being caught or because they were poor. They especially liked to force the upper level to make a decision immediately without saying anything.

As a water conservancy major, what I fear most is that when I get off the horse, I start to point fingers and talk nonsense. Not to mention that the hydrological and geological data of this era cannot be comprehensive. Even if the hydrological and geological data are relatively complete, once the construction is completed, some changes will be triggered. The experience of such changes is also decent water conservancy workers themselves admit that it is far from enough.

Seeing Wang Quanle making a highly inducible speech, Zhao Qian didn't want to listen to Wang Quanle's request to "Team Leader Zhao" to be the master of Qingtian. Naturally, Wang Quanle had to continue speaking.

Then Wang Quanle was silent for a moment and said to the people from the Political and Legal Affairs Committee: "Did you report to Team Leader Zhao?"

Although the people of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee also tend to protect themselves, they did not mean to oppose Wang Quanle at this time. Everyone did not like the Taxation Bureau before, so they formed an alliance against the Taxation Bureau. After the struggle, everyone gradually found the truth. So the Political and Legal Affairs Committee also talked about it, and the biggest core was to demand the abolition of the judicial power of the Taxation Bureau.

Zhao Qian is more able to accept the reaction of the Political and Legal Committee. Perhaps it is because he was a veteran. The Political and Legal Committee's approach is closer to the military style of raising questions and giving opinions. The army must go straight to the army. If you play intrigue, you don't have to fight this battle. The officers are afraid that their orders will not be truly understood by the subordinates, and do their best to do their best for this. Various small means of intrigue are useless to the enemy. Not to mention intrigue, even if they are not united, the army will defeat the battle.

After listening to the answer from the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, Zhao Qian still did not make any comments. He was just a little surprised. In the previous report, the Luoyang government did not have such a clear conclusion. At that time, there were a little kids fighting for candy, "You are not right", "You are not right", and "You are not right".

"Team Leader Zhao, I wonder what you think?" Wang Quanle asked tentatively.

Zhao Qian said, "I heard what you said, probably meant to abolish the judicial power of the Taxation Bureau. Am I wrong?"

Wang Quanle's heart was tight. If it weren't for the fact that things were forced to do, he wouldn't be willing to say such sharp and confrontational words. After all, the tax bureau is the IRS, and the IRS is not something that Wang Quanle can shake. There are quite a few big shots in it, although they are not powerful, at least they are very famous.

Now the prince asked straightforwardly, to make Wang Quanle's position clearer. Wang Quanle was really a little trembling. It is said that the traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor anti-traitor

Because no one dared to question the loyalty of the Zhao Guan family to the Song Dynasty, even if the Zhao Guan family's status was not related to the Song traitors in his life. However, except for the Zhao Guan family, no one dared to say that he had nothing to do with the Song traitors. The upper class of the Song Dynasty used to be composed of more than a thousand Jinshi families. When the Lin'an General surrendered, almost half of the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty surrendered to Mongolia, and a considerable number of the remaining half of the civil and military officials could not be said to be resisting the Mongol invasion.

The total number of civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty who were able to stand up after the Lin'an General surrender was less than half of the total number of officials of the Song Dynasty. Among these half, a large part of them was in the area south of the Pearl River that the Mongolian Army did not reach.

If there was no anti-traitor committee, probably in the place where Zhao official family recovered, whether they surrendered to Mongolia or abandoned their posts and fled, they could "eat a pot of slurry to welcome the royal army" and then join the official team of the Song Dynasty again. Even if they were not able to do so, their children could also join the new team through the previous complicated relationship.

However, in the era when the anti-traitor committee was rampant, more than 90% of the old officials of the Song Dynasty lost their official positions under their attacks and even went to prison. The children of those officials were also found out in a meticulous investigation and lost the opportunity to climb up. The former upper-level forces of the Song Dynasty were almost wiped out.

In the past few years, the Committee for the Suppression of Treason has finally stopped a lot. However, when I think of those demons, the Prime Minister Wang still feels chills and feels uncomfortable all over. Although they no longer publicly arrest and kill people, this organization still exists in the Song Dynasty with a high-sounding reputation. The Chairman of the Committee for the Suppression of Treason also attended the imperial meeting of the Song Dynasty.

In addition to its respected status, it is said that the traitor committee has not stopped yet. Many local gentry in the Song Dynasty have committed their plots. Although these people were officials in their ancestors, their children are no longer the Jinshi of the past. Among these people, the Song gentry has been killed by the traitor committee itself. The old upper class of the Song Dynasty, who originally wanted to solve the problem but failed, really cannot be deprived of the traitor. The traitor committee found new tools and took advantage of the establishment of tax police. The tax police opened a court, and after arresting the people, they tortured and interrogated them. The traitor committee borrowed the hands of the tax police to solve these local gentry one by one...

Zhao Qian quietly looked at the slightly changed face of the prefect Wang, and it was obvious that the prefect Wang did not seem to be loyal to his ideas. At least he did not have the courage to gamble on everything for his ideas. This is very different from those officials in the court. Zhao Qian was his father's secretary for a while and had seen the quarrels in the court.

There is a family law of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty, "Don't kill the scholars and officials with words." The purpose of the ancestors doing this was to make the scholars and officials dare to say their hearts. If they expound their views and positions loudly, the result was dismissal, demoted, and exiled. This could not stop the scholars and officials. Just like former minister Lu Xiufu, the court knew that Zhao Qian's father Zhao Guanjia was particularly generous and admired him. Although he was not as good as Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie, he was only not as good as these two. As long as Lu Xiufu did not do particularly extraordinary things, the Zhao Guanjia would not attack Lu Xiufu.

As a result, Lu Xiufu still completely opposed the tax system when it was established and refused to resign. In the end, he would just resign.

There is also Lu Bofeng, who is now the Minister of Foreign Affairs. His father, Mr. Lu, didn't know what he thought. He publicly posted notices against tax reform in the community where the minister lives. After that, he posted them. The judicial system did not look for Mr. Lu, nor did he arrest him and imprison him. However, Lu Bofeng became the leader of the land reform investigation team, writing reports and various articles that exposed the landlords.

The reason for the mobilization of Lu Bofeng was that the Zhao official family did not accept officials who opposed land reform and tax reform. Lu Bofeng used his own actions to cleanse the possibility that he might oppose land reform and tax reform in his heart.

A few days ago, when I heard my father talk about the "modern nation-state", Zhao Jiaren said "freedom of speech" and "disclaimer of speech". He believed that his brain, mouth, and hands belonged to individuals. Whatever that person said and wrote was uncontrollable.

In terms of order, the judicial system takes action because of what a person says and what he writes. It must be after what the person says and what he writes. Even if legislation prohibits certain speech and words, punishment must be after actual words and deeds. In other words, what anyone says and what he writes is a kind of freedom. It is a freedom that the state cannot control.

Zhao Jiaren emphasized to Zhao Qian that in the future, there will inevitably be someone who will be under the banner of "requiring the power of freedom of speech". The ancestor's family law of the Song Dynasty, which "does not kill scholars and officials with speech" gave officials a certain degree of "exempt of speech". A small number of those who demand "requiring freedom of speech" were not enough, but most of them had ulterior motives. What they asked for was not "freedom of speech" at all, but the actual power of "exempt of speech".

If a person packages his true purpose in a statement that he is incompatible with others, he will inevitably have big problems. You must pay special attention.

After hearing this, Zhao Qian thought that his father was simply inexplicable, and there was no such boring guy. Now looking at the expression of the prefect Wang, Zhao Qian suddenly felt that his father's words were probably not aimless. If a person is willing to be responsible for his words and deeds openly, he is not a hero, or at least a well-known evil man.

I thought to myself, but I didn't say it out loud, and used all kinds of roundabout ways to make others say it for him, and then put the blame on others. What's that?

So Zhao Qian continued to remain silent and waited for the prefect Wang to continue to say something. If he jumped out and said something for the prefect Wang, Zhao Qian could not find any reason for him to do so.

Silence, the face of the prefect Wang was changing increasingly. He saw him glance at the President of the Political and Legal Committee, but the President of the Political and Legal Committee did not say anything. Prefect Wang glanced at him again and looked again. The Vice President of the Political and Legal Committee seemed unable to help but interrupted, "Team Leader Zhao, but I don't know what the court thinks about the law enforcement power of several departments?"

After hearing this, Zhao Qian responded: "I don't know what to look at. It is said that there was a quarrel in the court."

After saying that, Zhao Qian suddenly wanted to ask the vice president what he thought. But he finally held back. Although it might be interesting to make things difficult for the vice president, he might even see another unknown side of the vice president. However, Zhao Qian's job is not to investigate the political tendencies of the Luoyang officialdom, but to investigate the matter of the tax-resistant farm. It is better not to have any trouble at this time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qian was about to continue on, but a cadre from the Political and Legal Affairs Committee spoke, "Crown Prince, I heard that the officials like Xunzi's books. I also read something. Xunzi said that the drums are about to die, and the reins are killed, and the officials are killed, and the literati and officials are marching in the line. Hearing the drums, and retreating when he heard the sound of gold. He followed the orders as the best. He ordered that he did not advance, but he still ordered that he did not retreat. His crimes were only equal. He did not kill the elderly and weak, and did not carry the crops, and those who were patrolled will not leave, and those who were betrayed will not be given up. Any punishment is not to punish the people, but to punish the people who were chaotic; if the people were slaughtered, it was also thieves. Therefore, those who followed the blades were born, those who were Su Ren died, and those who were betrayed will pay tribute."
