confused!
In fact, many officials, like He Chunlin, feel a little confused about this.
What about the incompatibility between fire and water?
Why does Zhang Fei still promote the Green Seedlings Law?
You must know that they all plan to use judicial reform to deal with Qingmiao Law.
Therefore, Zhang Fei's attitude towards Qingmiao Method is also very important to them.
However, they only considered the dispute between the old and the new, but ignored one point, that is, judicial reform and new laws are actually interdependent.
No!
To be more precise, judicial reform is completely dependent on the new law.
On the other hand, if there is no new law, who will support judicial reform?
In the minds of ministers, is judicial reform really necessary?
Therefore, no matter what, Zhang Fei must support the new law and provide the greatest support to the new law. Firstly, he can still win the support of Wang Anshi. Secondly, only when the new law becomes stronger can this judicial reform continue to develop.
It can be seen that the two are not contradictory at all.
As for the advantages and disadvantages of the Young Crops Law, how could Zhang Fei, who has read history textbooks, not know about it? But for the same reason, if the new law has no disadvantages, why should the public prosecutor and the procuratorate do anything?
At least that's how others see it.
"It seems that our imperial court will become very busy in the future."
While Cai Jing was packing up the copywriting, he glanced at the people gathered around and whispering.
Today's trial is very beneficial to most debtors and a small number of creditors. It is conceivable that more people will come to the imperial court to litigate.
Ye Zuqia asked, "Do you think the teacher will let us interrogate him?"
Cai Jing nodded and said, "I think it's possible."
Shangguan Jun said anxiously: "But can we do it? Every time I watch the teacher review it, it seems very relaxed, but every time we discuss it, we still don't think too carefully."
Ye Zuqia said: "You have to give it a try, otherwise, how will we know whether we have made progress or not."
Cai Bian also nodded slightly.
To be honest, they are a little itchy now.
This judge is different from the county magistrate, he is quite exciting.
Over there, Wei Yingfang and others also noticed the change in the expressions of the people. We must know that many tenant farmers and farmers are in debt. If they just extend the repayment period, they may not be able to pay it back, but Zhang Fei still has to pay it back. Give them a living.
This is very critical.
This is also the best time to pay off debts, and many people will definitely come to the imperial court to litigate.
"What do you think?"
When he came outside the court, Wei Yingfang looked at Cao Yi and asked in a low voice.
Cao Yidao: "It's not necessarily a bad thing. This verdict is obviously not good for the big landowners. They will definitely find ways to fight back."
Wei Yingfang nodded and asked: "But does this three support the new law or oppose it?"
Cao Yi frowned and said nothing, he had no clue about this for the moment.
At this moment, He Chunlin came over.
Wei Yingfang hurriedly asked: "What did Bachelor Yuan say?"
He Chunlin informed the two of Yuan Jiang's guess.
Cao Yi nodded: "This is possible. It is said that Wang Xueshi is deeply trusted by the officials, and it is almost impossible to stop Qingmiao Fa. Zhang San took the initiative to ask the people to raise Chang Pingsi to borrow money, and he could also borrow money This intervention is a green shoot method."
Wei Yingfang asked: "Then will our previous plan force the Imperial Court to join forces with the Transportation Department?"
Cao Yidao: "This is impossible. The relationship between the Imperial Court and the Transportation Department is not decided by Zhang San, but by Bachelor Sima and the others. Zhang San was able to come here to be the president of the court before, but it was also recommended by Bachelor Sima. If Zhang San and the Qingmiaofa colludes with each other, and Bachelor Sima will definitely not let him serve as the president here again."
Wei Yingfang nodded: "That's true."
Cao Yi added: "On the contrary, I think today's judgment is more conducive to our plan. If those big landowners can lend money to the people at low interest rates, first of all, we no longer have to worry about the people paying it back. Then we can also borrow money from the emperor." Secondly, it can win the hearts and minds of the people, and it can also attack the Youth Law, which becomes more beneficial to the big landowners.
At the same time, the Public Security Bureau is bound to have conflicts with the Transportation Department. How can Bachelor Yuan allow the imperial court to interfere with the Transportation Department arbitrarily? "
Wei Yingfang sighed: "But all those big landowners are short-sighted, and they may not agree to do this."
Zhang Fei left the back hall and went directly to the small pavilion by the lake. After a while, Fu Shichun came here.
"Brother Xiaochun, do you know why I invited you here?" Zhang Fei asked with a smile.
Fu Shichun said angrily: "Eighty percent of them are asking us to take less vacations and work more."
"exactly."
Zhang Fei laughed, and then said seriously: "The countryside is the most difficult area for the Royal Police to break into. Although we used military salary and tax collection to open the branch to the door of the countryside, we have not yet completely penetrated it.
If we want to completely replace the squire, we must bring benefits to the villagers and make them accustomed to approaching the police station instead of the squire for decision-making when they have difficulties. Otherwise, why would they trust the Royal Police more. "
Fu Shichun said: "And loan sharking is originally a conflict between villagers and landlords. The royal police intervened from this, and it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "That's true, but because the police station is expanding too fast, there is a mix of good and bad people inside, so you have to pay more attention. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you can't afford to miss it!"
Fu Shichun said helplessly: "I'm just the chief clerk."
Zhang Fei said, "Isn't this more exciting than selling sex papers?"
".!"
Fu Shichun was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "It's a little more exciting."
In the afternoon.
"Are you ready?"
Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian came to the conference room and asked directly.
The four little King Kongs first looked at each other, with a hint of anxiety in their excited eyes.
"Um?"
Zhang Fei looked at them doubtfully.
Shangguan Jun asked: "What do you mean, teacher?"
"Isn't it?"
Zhang Fei said: "Don't you even have this foresight? After this judgment, a large number of homesteaders and tenant farmers will definitely come to sue in the next few days. You don't expect to have them all tried by me, right? Or are you here this morning? Sleepwalking, you haven’t summarized the basis for my judgment?”
Ye Zuqia said excitedly: "Teacher, we are ready."
"very good!"
Zhang Fei nodded.
Shangguan Jun asked: "Teacher, are the students a little or not clear about this morning's verdict?"
"explain."
"It's this issue of integrity. We know how to judge rogues and honest people, but there are some things in the middle. Students are still a little unsure about this scale?"
"They know people but not their hearts. The teacher is not a god, so how can we accurately calculate how honest they are?" Zhang Fei said angrily.
Shangguan Jun said in surprise: "Then I wonder what the teacher's standards are?"
Cai Jing suddenly said: "Could it be the ability to repay?"
"Cai Jing is right."
Zhang Fei said: "Integrity is of course very important, but to judge how honest a person is requires a lot of investigation, so this is not the only deciding factor.
The most important factor is to weigh their ability to repay. Based on this, decide how to help them. Of course, a person without integrity is not worthy of giving us substantial help, because the risk is too great, so we can only give them a chance to change their ways first.
This is like Naluo Dawu. If the police station handed over the cloth to him, he would probably lose the night. All in all, integrity is a very critical factor, but we only need to pay attention to the passing line. As long as we abide by basic integrity, that is enough.
The remaining amount will depend on their ability to repay, and then the final judgment will be given. "
Cai Bian said: "No wonder the teacher always asks about the specific situation of their family."
"exactly."
Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and looked at them again, "Don't be too afraid. Just remember one thing and defend your legitimate rights and interests. There is no distinction between tenant farmers and landlords in this sentence, so we must treat it with equal eyes." Landowners and tenant farmers, so you are less likely to make mistakes.”
Xu Zhiqian suddenly said: "The weak should be helped more, so that it can be fair."
Zhang Fei did not look back at her, but immediately smiled at Cai Jing and others, "Don't be like Master Xu, who only sees the weak, so she can only be the chief clerk, and you are the ones who want to be the president of the court. "
The four little Vajras lowered their heads at the same time. They couldn't afford to offend a master or a master's wife!
Xu Zhiqian made a face at Zhang Fei's back.
Cai Bian suddenly said: "But...but the student thinks that Master Xu's words are reasonable."
"This is not called truth, but called ideal."
Zhang Fei said: "The truth must be based on reality. The reality is that the landlords are very powerful and the tenant farmers are very weak. According to the fairness of Master Xu, it is very simple, that is, the landlord's money is given to the tenant farmers equally.
But does this comply with the principle of the rule of law? "
The four of them shook their heads at the same time.
"Of course not."
Zhang Fei said: "Defend everyone's legitimate rights and interests. Do landlords have legitimate rights and interests? Of course they do. Fairness under the rule of law is not an ideal, but a reality. It can even be said to be the final bottom line."
And in the morning trial, what is our bottom line? "
"The basic guarantee of people's lives." Ye Zuqia replied.
"good."
Zhang Fei nodded, "But in fact, as far as the contract is concerned, we should award the land to the landlord to pay off the debt. But if we do this, the consequences may cause the debtor to starve to death, because this will not only damage the country and the monarch interests, but also not allowed by morality.
Do you still remember what I taught you in class, in the legal system, does morality affect whether you are guilty or guilty? "
"Excuse me."
"good."
Zhang Fei nodded, "You must remember one thing. Up to this point, our goal is to maintain this bottom line, not to raise it. The theory just mentioned by Master Xu, in a sense, is Want to raise this bottom line?
Can we do this? "
Several people were immediately confused.
Shouldn't we pursue a higher realm?
"Um?"
Zhang Fei looked at them again.
"Can't...?"
"Remove the '?'."
"cannot."
"Of course not, there's no need to think about it."
Zhang Fei said depressedly: "You have given me back everything I taught you. Does Mr. Xu's proposition belong to the legal system or the Confucian method?"
"The Confucian Method."
"It must be a Confucian method."
Zhang Fei said: "Bringing a better life to the people and narrowing the gap in wealth among everyone are all Confucian methods.
For example, our imperial court has no right to stipulate that the rich pay more taxes and the poor pay less taxes, but the political hall has the right to make decisions. And what can we decide? It is this tax that cannot drive people to death. This applies to usury, military pay, and tax laws. do you understand? "
The four of them nodded at the same time.
Zhang Fei said: "As the president of the court, you must look at both the plaintiff and the defendant with equal eyes. If you can't understand it now, just memorize it by rote."
"Yes, the students know."
"In addition, we will recruit a group of dentists and accountants to assist you and help you formulate a compensation plan, which will reduce your burden. So."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Whether the teacher can spend more time with my wife at home in the future will all depend on your performance."
"hey-hey!"
After today's trial, almost everyone predicted that there would be a wave of lawsuits in Hezhong Mansion.
Because loan sharking is currently very ruthless and involves a wide range of people, the people are miserable. The key is that under normal circumstances, it will never be finished. No matter how hard they try, this is a kind of despair.
As for today's verdict, although they still rely on their own efforts, they at least hope to repay all their debts.
Everyone will definitely file a lawsuit!
as expected.
On the second day, the Imperial Court received a peak of crowds.
You must know that many farmers came here to watch the trial yesterday, and they quickly told other villagers about today's verdict.
In the past, the lawsuits were all about landlords suing tenant farmers, but today it is completely reversed, with tenant farmers suing landlords.
This makes the Legal Aid Department miserable.
It is natural for a landlord to sue a tenant farmer to pay back the debt, and the petition is very easy to write.
But when the tenant farmers sue the landlord, they have to find an angle and a reason.
Fortunately, 99% of today's land leases have problems. The reason is not easy to find. It just requires the FAA to understand the situation in more detail.
Of course, this also made the big landowners furious.
The tax issue over there has not yet been resolved, and here it is attacking our development path.
They want to charge us more money and cut off our financial resources.
It is unbearable!
For a time, there was an undercurrent in Hezhong Mansion!
Confrontation is inevitable.
Because there is no way the big landowners can endure all this!
Cai Yanqing and the others were also very nervous. They knew the strength of these big landowners and should not be careless, so they also sent people secretly to inquire about information everywhere.
"Prefect Cai, do you have any news?"
Yuan Jiang came into the house and asked Cai Yanqing.
Cai Yanqing nodded and said, "I already have some clues."
Yuan Jiang hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"
Cai Yanqing said: "Originally, the big landowners were divided into two factions. One faction said that they wanted to confront the imperial court head-on, but they refused to implement it. At the same time, they stopped some lending and asked the people to go to the imperial court to borrow money.
There is also a faction that expresses its intention to lend money at lower interest rates in response to the Youth Law. "
Yuan Jiang was startled and asked quickly: "Which faction has the upper hand now?"
Cai Yanqing said: "As for the Qingmiao Fa faction, because most landowners believe that the people's sentiments are not towards them at this time, and many soldiers have to rely on the imperial court to recover compensation, they do not have much confidence in confronting the imperial court head-on.
As for the Youth Law, lending at lower interest rates can not only win the hearts of the people, but also rely on the imperial court to earn some interest. "
Yuan Jiang said: "It is the Imperial Court that is targeting them, not the Transportation Department."
Cai Yanqing said: "I guess they also want to use this to provoke a conflict between the Imperial Court and the Transportation Department."
Yuan Jiang thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Can the government prohibit them from doing this?"
Cai Yanqing frowned slightly, "Why?"
Yuan Jiang sighed: "I also know that low-interest loans are more beneficial to the people, but if the Qingmiao Law fails, it will seriously affect Wang Xueshi's new policy. We have to think about the overall situation, and once the new law fails, they will definitely use the interest rate And raise it.”
What Zhao Xu wanted was to improve finances, not to really focus on cracking down on loan sharks. The principal of several million yuan that was lost was all borrowed from the emperor, and interest was charged.
If Wang Anshi couldn't make money, it would be difficult for him to pay favors to the emperor.
Yuan Jiang really didn't expect that the other party would directly turn the gun and point it at Xin Fa. It was obviously the imperial court that was torturing them.
He planned to be as obscene as the police station and let Huang Ting go to the front to fight with them.
Cai Yanqing said: "It was not impossible before, but now that politics and law are separated, Academician Yuan may have to go to President Zhang for advice on how to deal with it."
Yuan Jiang was stunned for a moment and glanced at Cai Yanqing guiltily.
Cai Yanqing stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Scholar Yuan, you can just pretend that I don't know."
Two updates will be resumed tomorrow!
