"get out of class is over!"
After distributing the bottles to the students, Zhang Fei announced that get out of class was over.
The student named Shen Qing just now asked expectantly: "Teacher, will you come to class with us again?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I will come often recently because your four little teachers will be busy these days."
As soon as these words came out, all the students were very excited.
This kind of class was so interesting, no one dozed off, they were in a state of excitement the whole time, because Zhang Fei kept asking them questions, and there was no time to daze at all. Unlike the previous class, where they held books and shook their heads. He lowered his head and read while dozing off.
At this time, someone outside suddenly said: "President Zhang, we are also attending the class and are your students. Why don't you give us a bottle."
Zhang Fei turned his head and said with a smile: "When you are qualified to sit here, I will give you a bottle."
After saying that, he walked down, raised his hands towards Liang Youyi and said, "Mr. Liang, I have offended you a lot just now, please forgive me."
"snort!"
Liang Youyi waved his sleeves and left the classroom.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but smile.
Lu Gongru suddenly laughed and said: "President Zhang is truly well-deserved. This class has also benefited us a lot!"
Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "Zhang San's tricks made the magistrate Lu and everyone laugh."
"Don't dare! Don't dare!"
Lu Gongru cupped his hands and said: "In terms of legal studies, we are ashamed of ourselves!"
The culture of the Song Dynasty was still very open-minded, especially in terms of talents. They did not respect the old and cherish the young. How could they, like Su Shi and Su Che, do so because Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were a generation older than them and were highly respected in the literary world? So he treated them in a condescending manner, still criticizing, teasing, and sarcastically.
To gain a foothold in the Northern Song Dynasty, age is only secondary. High moral standing cannot suppress people. The key is to have real talent and practical learning.
Those children of officials, if they don’t have real talent and learning, are generally limited to the middle and lower classes, and they just get some benefits and get a casual job. It’s impossible to get promoted, because if you don’t have talent and ability, you won’t be able to stay even if the superiors ask you to do so. .
When you were prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, you could be bohemian or slovenly, but you had to be talented.
This is why, ever since Zhang Fei proposed the concept of legal system, literati have really recognized that he was establishing a sect, and more and more ministers in the court believe in the legal system more firmly.
The same is true in Hezhong Mansion. After this class, no matter how much the scholar-bureaucrats hated Zhang Fei, they now all recognized Zhang Fei's attainments in law.
Lu Xiaosheng suddenly said: "But President Zhang still didn't answer Mr. Liang's question directly just now."
As soon as he said this, many people gathered over.
These people were somewhat dissatisfied, but they were too embarrassed to disturb Zhang Fei's class. Now that get out of class was over, they could discuss it.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It's not that I didn't answer Mr. Liang's question directly, it's that Mr. Liang didn't listen carefully to the lecture."
An old man next to him said: "But you did say that the bottle should be the main one. The bottle is your legal method, and the water is Confucianism. In other words, the legal method is higher than Confucianism."
"I never meant that."
Zhang Fei pointed at the wooden board, "I made it very clear that the Yellow River is Confucianism, and the water comes from the Yellow River, which is Confucianism. No matter how the water is changed, it is still based on Confucianism. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with it. Talk about it. On the contrary, it is easy for the presiding officer to use his own subjectivity to replace the bottle, so I emphasized the importance of the bottle."
Yuan Jiang Gonghuo said: "You can also get water from the canal!"
"This is not possible." Zhang Fei shook his head.
Lu Gongru asked: "Why?"
Zhang Fei said: "No matter how you say it, Confucianism is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. People's words and deeds are all following Confucianism in a subtle way, and everyone's habits are actually a consensus. The legal system is derived from consensus. If you want to To put aside Confucianism is to violate people's consensus, and the law is no longer the law.
Even if I don't even mention water, they will still follow Confucianism during the trial process. Their confusion was with the bottle, not the water. And my purpose is to teach them the Dharma, not Confucianism. If I teach them Confucianism, they can all be my teachers. "
"Consensus? Confucianism?" Lu Xiaosheng nodded: "That's it."
The four little King Kongs who were eavesdropping on the side were also thoughtful. They had never considered that the consensus on the rule of law had such a great relationship with Confucianism.
But if you think about it carefully, it is still the case. The imperial court can emphasize the equality of both parties in the contract, but it is impossible to emphasize the equality between father and son. This will not get anyone’s support. If a father kills his son, and the son kills his father, he will face punishment. It's a world of difference.
The reason is Confucianism. The key is that this idea is accepted by everyone, regardless of whether it is innate or taught. This is a consensus, and the legal system must defend this consensus.
When encountering such cases, this issue must be considered.
The other scholar-bureaucrats who wanted to quarrel with Zhang Fei remained silent, thinking to themselves, we really misunderstood him.
This is so beautifully said.
Confucianism is deeply rooted in the bone marrow and cannot be replaced. There is no need to talk about it at all. Moreover, this also shows that the legal system is actually based on Confucianism.
That'll do.
I am still thinking in my heart, no wonder I think what he said makes sense. It turns out that his legal system must also follow Confucianism.
This is not Zhang Fei's intention to compliment Confucianism and please these scholar-bureaucrats. This is an objective fact. The common values of people in the world today are Confucian values. Even if the world is governed by law, the laws and regulations formulated based on Confucianism are still implemented.
The only thing that can promote changes in thinking is productivity, and everything else will not work. The contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period was based on the progress of productivity. If you can change things just by talking, it is pure nonsense.
From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, the two sages Confucius and Mencius took a hundred years together, but the result was only a ripple. It was after thousands of years of precipitation that Confucianism became a mainstream value.
At this time, Zhang Fei suddenly saw a familiar voice passing by the window, and he immediately shouted: "Prosecutor Su, please stay."
With that said, he turned to Lu Gongru and others, "I'm sorry, everyone, I have something else to do."
"President Zhang, please excuse me."
After leaving the classroom, Zhang Fei caught up with Su Che, and the two of them walked along the special corridor to the imperial court.
"Every time President Zhang teaches, he always gives people a feeling of enlightenment and enlightenment." Su Zhe praised.
Zhang Fei said: "But I am here to teach today, not to show off my knowledge, but to hope that those students can enter the imperial court as soon as possible. After all, there are only a few of us, and we can only toss in this three-thirds of an acre of land." , but our authority covers the entire Shaanxi Road, and we still have many things to be busy with."
In today's year of external expansion of the Public Security Bureau, the three parties are indispensable. If any one party fails, it may affect the other two parties.
Su Zhe nodded and said, "I understand. Our Procuratorate has also prepared for this and can cooperate with the Imperial Court and the police station at any time."
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment and said: "It seems that I am far inferior to Mr. Su Xiao in terms of cultivating talents."
Su Che raised his hand and said: "President Zhang, please don't say that. It's just that my brother and I know many like-minded friends, many of whom have joined our procuratorate. In addition, our procuratorate is different from your imperial court. For the procuratorate, more It means being upright and acting in accordance with the law. As for attainments in legal studies, compared to the imperial court, the requirements are not that high."
That's just his modest way of saying it.
In fact, many trainee prosecutors are good friends of Su Che and Su Shi, and their brothers are talented. The friends they know must all be geniuses. They can learn everything quickly, and when it comes to litigation, they are the ones who specialize in it. , just need to learn the skills, there are many people who can do it alone.
But this is a good thing for the imperial court. If the procuratorate develops well, it can reduce the pressure on the imperial court to expand.
Zhang Fei kicked off his new year's work with a course, which foreshadowed the goal of the Public Security Bureau, Procuratorate, and Law this year, which is to accelerate the cultivation of talents and then expand externally.
At the same time, it also indicates that the pressure faced by the imperial court is drastically reduced.
After a lot of troubles last year, the public security system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people have gradually become accustomed to seeking to resolve disputes through the imperial court.
Many things were not approved by the imperial court, and no one dared to do them.
This is a done deal, and it will be difficult for the officials to stop the imperial court for a while.
On the one hand, Zhang Fei tried his best to come to law school, and on the other hand, he tried to leave the affairs of the imperial court to the four little kings.
Even if he encounters a difficult civil lawsuit, as long as it does not involve the government, Zhang Fei will first have a meeting with the Four Little King Kongs to tell them what matters they should pay attention to, and then they will go to trial. After the trial, they will discuss it.
Because they were about to go to surrounding counties for rotation, Zhang Fei had to cultivate their ability to adapt to situations.
However, according to the law of conservation of energy, if the pressure is not in the imperial court, where does it go?
financial.
This year is destined to be a year of walking on thin ice for Yuan Jiang.
Last year, we set all the rules and owed a lot of debt. We must show results this year.
Originally, the Changping Division was supposed to play a major role, but due to the ban and lawsuit last year, the Changping Division was forced to take a back seat and only controlled financial products and bulk goods, including salt bonds, salt bonds, grain, tea horses, etc.
The Qingmiao Law is decentralized to Majia Jieku Shop, which is a cooperation between Majia Pawnshop and Bianjing Charity Foundation.
The reason why it is named Majia Jiekupu is because the charity foundation only invests in Majia, and whether it is technology or experience, it is all provided by Majia.
The inner hall of Majia Jiekupu.
"You brat, now that I've boarded your pirate ship, you have to control the helm. If it sinks, everyone will have to die holding it together."
Seeing Zhang Fei, Yuan Jiang pretended to sigh.
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Xueshi Yuan, please don't say that. According to our laws in the Song Dynasty, the punishment is not as high as that of a scholar-official. I am not a scholar-official. If you want to sink the person, I will do it alone. The most you can do, Xueshi Yuan, is to travel to Qiongzhou."
"Qiongzhou?"
Yuan Jiang said angrily: "At my age, can I still go to Qiongzhou? No, let's just sink together."
Zhang Fei said hehey: "Don't be so depressed all the time. Let's be optimistic. The situation is still developing in a good direction!"
Yuan Jiang said: "How can you be optimistic when you owe so much money?"
Zhang Fei consoled him: "Scholar Yuan, you don't know, this debtor, you owe so much money, even our imperial court dare not touch you!"
Yuan Jiang said: "Really?"
"Of course it is true." Zhang Fei asked: "If our imperial court wants to touch you, who will pay back the money! The imperial court and those creditors will protect you. The more you owe, the less panic we will have."
Yuan Jiang thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That seems to make sense."
While they were chatting, Fan Zheng walked in panting, "Sorry! Sorry! I kept these two distinguished guests waiting for so long."
Yuan Jiang smiled and waved her hand and said, "It doesn't matter! Your place will officially open soon. You must have a lot to do."
Zhang Fei asked: "How is the situation in the store now?"
Fan Zhengdao: "I recruited most of these people from Hezhong Mansion, but for the accounting department, I have to transfer people from the capital. In fact, the first batch of people have already arrived, but I didn't expect this business to be done at first. It’s so big, not many accountants were sent here last year, but the second batch of people is already on the way, so they should be able to make it in time.”
"That's fine."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Then let's talk about this year's cooperation."
Fan Zheng nodded, immediately took out a contract and handed it to Yuan Jiang, "This is the farm loan plan launched by our Jiekupu this year. Please ask Bachelor Yuan to review it."
Yuan Jiang took it in his hand, weighed it, and said with a smile: "You must have entrusted the Hezhong Mansion Office to do this."
Fan Zheng glanced at Zhang Fei and smiled.
Yuan Jiang looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Could it be the handiwork of the president of the court?"
Zhang Fei said: "Didn't Academician Yuan just say that I am at the helm? I can't let this pirate ship sink!"
Yuan Jiang laughed and took the contract and read it.
Fan Zheng didn't understand what they were talking about, but he didn't think about it. He introduced from the side: "First of all, we have to get the business of military salary and flying money, and our Jiekupu will also provide a little interest to make more soldiers If you are willing to deposit the general's salary into our Jiekupu, plus the currency invested by the Changping Division, our Jiekupu will have enough currency to borrow money.
As for loans, since the squires hinder the people from raising loans from the Changping Division, we plan to focus our money on housing and land transactions and commercial loans. However, compared to the capital city, the repayment period for housing loans in Hezhong Prefecture is shorter and the interest rate is slightly lower. This is mainly because the houses in Hezhong Prefecture are far less expensive than those in the capital city, and the income is also far less than that in the capital city. Therefore, regarding the land For loans, the repayment period is shorter, but the interest is similar to that of a home loan. "
Yuan Jiang nodded slightly and suddenly said: "Salt debt mortgage?"
After Fan Zheng heard this, he looked at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei said: "This is what I proposed. Once the salt debt can be mortgaged to Jiekupu, the salt debt will become more valuable and have higher credit."
Yuan Jiang nodded and said, "This is a good idea."
"but."
Zhang Fei changed the subject, "The requirements for issuance of salt bonds are very high. If salt bonds are issued indiscriminately and the value of salt bonds depreciates, the government can default on the debt, but Jiekupu may directly close its doors. If Jiekupu admits salt If we want to buy salt bonds, we must give Xiekupu the power to investigate the issuance of salt bonds.”
Yuan Jiang frowned and said, "I'm afraid this won't work. After all, Jiekupu is a private business. How can businessmen be allowed to interfere with government operations?"
Zhang Fei said: "But this can ensure that the government sells more salt bonds and can last for a long time. It may play a huge role at critical times."
Fan Zheng remained silent. In fact, he also had doubts about this, and even did not agree with it, because he did not believe in the government either. However, promoting the Changping Division would involve a huge investment, which made him feel a little more relieved. Accepted Zhang Fei's suggestion.
If Yuan Jiang refuses, he will not be frustrated.
Yuan Jiang thought for a while, weighed the pros and cons, and asked them to look at the accounts. Financially, they would be able to earn more than hundreds of thousands of salt debts, which was not a loss at all. Then he said, "I have to go back and discuss it with them."
Zhang Fei nodded and said no more. He thought, as a transport envoy, you should be able to do this kind of thing easily, but you can't count on us. He added: "Since we are talking about the salt debt, let's talk about it by the way. Salt banknotes.”
Yuan Jiang looked at him doubtfully.
Zhang Fei said: "Now that the purchase tax has been cancelled, how the people in remote areas pay the tax is a problem faced by the tax department. It is really not cost-effective to collect grain and cloth and then transport them to the city.
But if they can pay taxes with salt notes, it will make self-reporting very convenient. Moreover, the Taxation Department has conducted a careful investigation and found that most of the remote villages lack coins. Therefore, if the locals can use salt banknotes as currency, it will also be of great help to the commercial development of these areas. At the same time, it will be more convenient for the Taxation Department to Those places collect taxes.
I have already communicated with the Department of Taxation and they are willing to accept salt banknotes. At that time, Bachelor Yuan will be able to implement salt banknotes in those remote areas. "
Yuan Jiang nodded and asked, "Who will supervise the issuance of salt banknotes?"
Zhang Fei said: "We can only rely on the procuratorate."
"Procuratorate?"
Yuan Jiang raised her eyebrows, "Yes! I almost forgot about the Procuratorate. But then again, can this Procuratorate investigate anything?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Of course."
Yuan Jiang frowned and said, "Then the prosecutor's office has too much power."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "The Procuratorate is only responsible for the investigation. As for whether he is guilty or not, it is all decided by our imperial court. Their power is not very great."
"You are so knowledgeable and profound in the public prosecutor's office!"
Yuan Jiang chuckled, continued to read, and suddenly said: "This natural and man-made disaster, can the payment be postponed for another year?"
Fan Zheng said nothing, but looked at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei said: "If it cannot be postponed for one year, we may be forced to lose our families."
Yuan Jiang said: "But aren't we specializing in the business of landlords and businessmen now? Natural disasters generally cannot harm them."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "But there will definitely be people who come to borrow money to buy property, and I budget that there may be more this year, because the new tax law has been introduced, so second-class households don't have to worry. They have money and they have to pay more." If they have to pay taxes and serve as yamen servants, they will definitely use the money to buy land.
If there is this treaty, they don't even have to worry. In the event of a natural disaster, Jiekupu will forcibly take away their fields. This can also attract more people and even encourage other Jiekupu to do the same. This can Make sure merchants don't create chaos for the government. "
Yuan Jiang frowned and said: "But the government's finances have not yet reached the point of surplus, and every penny must be counted. If the interest for a year cannot be collected, there will definitely be problems."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "This requires the salt debts and salt banknotes we just mentioned. This is the government's best solution for emergencies. As long as the credit of salt debts and salt banknotes is guaranteed, salt bonds can be issued at critical times." , salt money to save lives. There is no need to drain the people."
Yuan Jiang pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled and nodded: "Your plan is really a plan!"
Zhang Fei said: "That's not the case. In fact, in the end, it is the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate that support the government and maintain the credibility of the government, so that this plan can work. However, to promote the Changping Division, we must always have food on hand to resist natural disasters. This is also the case for our Public Security Bureau, only An emergency situation in which no support can be given.”
When a natural disaster comes, everyone will feel very insignificant. This is when the people need the government the most.
If the government does not provide assistance, it will become difficult for the public security organs and law enforcement to enforce the law. If the people want to survive, they will do anything.
Yuan Jiang said: "But we need to rely on those country squires."
Zhang Fei said: "In the last injunction lawsuit, I carefully studied the squire's righteousness. It was indeed possible to assist the government in rescuing the people in critical moments and share the burden of the government. This kind of cooperation can continue, but when the time comes, the public prosecutor and the law will We will also intervene to prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters."
It can be seen that everything now is based on the public prosecutor's law.
Without the public security organs, it would be impossible to talk about it.
Fan Zheng just stood aside and listened silently, because many of the regulations were made by Zhang Fei, and he did not agree with it very much. He was a businessman, and businessmen just want to make money, but there is no way to do business at this level. He must also rely on the public security organs. This can actually be considered a deal between him and Zhang Fei. I agree to your request and you must provide me with protection.
Of course, Yuan Jiang was not here to sign a contract today, but to discuss the details of the contract with him. Yuan Jiang did not dare to make the decision alone. He had to go back to discuss with other officials.
"call."
Fan Zheng, who had not said much just now, now let out a sigh of relief, "The more we talk about this deal, the more scary it becomes! We still have to go to the government to audit the accounts. Is this okay?"
"This is business cooperation, why not."
Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "And it won't take long, you will enjoy it very much."
"enjoy?"
Fan Zheng doesn’t quite believe it!
Zhang Fei said: "Imagine how refreshing it is to have hundreds of thousands of dollars flowing through your fingertips."
Fan Zheng smiled and said, "I really hope I have the courage of Third Brother."
Zhang Fei said: "This is not courage, but survival. Standing at a low place has its difficulties. Standing at a high place has its difficulties. It depends on how you choose, but I can never expect you to Standing high, you only face the difficulties of being low.”
Fan Zheng nodded thoughtfully, cupped his hands and said, "Third brother really woke up the dreamer with just one word!"
"Fan Da! Fan Da!"
After hearing two shouts, Cao Dongdong pushed the door open and entered the room. He said in surprise: "Zhang San, you are here too!"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Come and talk to Fan Da about something."
"That's really great. I don't have to go to the imperial court to invite you." Cao Dongdong said hurriedly.
Zhang Fei asked curiously: "What do you want me to do?"
Cao Dongdong said: "Practice it for Xiao Ma!"
Zhang Fei said: "Where is Xiaoma going?"
Cao Dongdong said: "Why have you forgotten? Didn't you agree to let Xiao Ma go to surrounding counties to inspect the sub-offices?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I almost forgot about this."
But I thought in my heart, I have to practice it next time I go to the countryside. You just want to drink.
Fan Zheng said: "But I have a lot to do today."
"How can we finish this work? Let's go for a walk and have a drink."
Cao Dongdong didn't care about him, he went up directly, dragged Fan Zheng and walked outside.
Fan Zheng hurriedly asked Zhang Fei for help.
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Of course I support my big customers."
Bianliang, Tokyo.
In front of Chui Gong Hall, Wang Anshi looked up at the sky and murmured to himself: "It shouldn't be! It shouldn't be! How could this happen? This is so wrong."
At this time, a figure tiptoed by.
Wang Anshi reached out and grabbed him, "Sima Junshi, where are you running from?"
Sima Guang directly waved his sleeves, lifted Wang Anshi away, and angrily said, "Why should I run away?"
Wang Anshi looked suspicious and said: "Jun Shi, what kind of conspiracy are you playing?"
Sima Guang said with bulging eyes: "I, Sima Guang, have always behaved upright and sat upright, so I am not like you, thinking about conspiracy and conspiracy all day long."
Wang Anshi chuckled: "You and Zhang San didn't play too much before."
"Ahem. Each other! Each other!"
Working with Zhang Fei was really the "stain" in Sima Guang's life!
Because Zhang Fei's methods were really not suitable for Sima Guang's moral values, he didn't even know that he was obsessed with it at the time and accepted Zhang Fei's suggestions.
"Why didn't you object just now?" Wang Anshi asked, frowning.
Sima Guang said: "What are you objecting to?"
Wang Anshi said: "I just proposed to implement the Green Seedling Law on Tokyo East Road, but you all stayed silent."
Sima Guang wondered: "Wang Jiefu, did you take the wrong medicine today? I objected. You want to scold me, but I don't object. You also want to find trouble with me. Do you think I am easy to bully?"
"Who dares to bully you!"
Wang Anshi said: "But this is not like your usual style. It is impossible for you not to object!"
Sima Guang sighed: "I'm tired!"
Wang Anshi was dumbfounded.
Sima Guang glanced at him, "If I could stop you, you wouldn't even be able to come out with Qingmiaofa, let alone go to Hezhong Mansion. But it turns out that my stoppage is useless. The officials trust you more, so I might as well save some money." Strength, I don’t want to quarrel with you either.”
"Yeah?"
Wang Anshi said: "Could it be that you think that my New Deal will not work without your judicial reform?"
Sima Guang hurriedly said: "Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. I don't think so, but everyone says so now."
Wang Anshi's expression changed and he hummed: "I knew you thought so. You want to compete with me? OK, I'll show you. Without judicial reform, my New Deal can still work, but without my The New Deal and your judicial reform are so difficult to implement."
"I hope you can improve your finances soon. Farewell."
Sima Guang slightly cupped his hands, then waved his sleeves and walked away.
"You look down on people too much."
Wang Anshi snorted, "I have no intention of waiting for your judicial reform."
