The officials of Jingzhao Prefecture and the officials of Hezhong Prefecture have very close contacts. They actually know the mechanism of the public prosecutor and the law very well. How could they dare to come to Hezhong Prefecture for trial.
Isn't this just being sent to your door to be slaughtered?
yes!
Although Lu Gongru promised that if it was due to the extermination of household land tax, they would be guaranteed to be safe, because this kind of thing happened not only in Jingzhao Mansion, but also in Tokyo and Bianliang. The emperor and prime minister had a clear conscience, but the court paid more attention to finance. The emperor If you want money, you can only pretend to be confused. If you come to settle this account now, there is no way you can justify it!
Therefore, Lu Gongru's guarantee was very firm.
Don't worry, nothing will happen.
But the problem is that the water here is very muddy, not only the land tax, but also a lot of tricks.
According to the mechanism of the Public Security Bureau, it is impossible not to detect it.
The officials did not do these trivial matters very cleanly, because in the past everyone was in the same room, and no one was clean, so no one could talk about it. Now that politics and law are separated, the public security organs and law will not help them cover up. They have to give them all. Ask out.
All officials in Jingzhao Mansion knew that coming to Hezhong Mansion for investigation would be a dead end.
But if you don't come, first of all, this is a guilty conscience, and you don't bring it upon yourself. Secondly, this can be said to be against the law, because Zhang Fei has this power, and this power was given by the emperor and the Political Affairs Hall, which shows that this power is very stable.
It doesn’t matter if I go, it doesn’t matter if I don’t go.
Then there is only one way, choose to fight at home and call the Public Security Bureau over. As long as the Public Security Bureau goes to Jingzhao Mansion, the relationship network of Jingzhao Mansion will surround them. Moreover, the Public Security Bureau only has a strong foundation in Hezhong Mansion, but has no foundation in Jingzhao Mansion. Yes, the home field advantage is very obvious.
Of course, when the Taxation Department made such a fuss before, they had great resistance to the Public Security Bureau, and planned to continue to delay it. As long as the New Deal suppresses the Public Security Law in the DPRK, there will be people in the DPRK and China who will slow down the expansion of the Public Security Law.
Now, they thought, since the police, procuratorate, and law are going to come anyway, it would be better for them to let the public prosecutor, procuratorate, and law come over now.
Their little thoughts could not escape the eyes and ears of Lu Gongru. He had said that deliberately before, I can keep you safe, but you must come to Hezhong Mansion for trial, because they knew that they would definitely choose to try the case in Jingzhao Mansion.
Of course, Lu Gongru also knew that this was actually Zhang Fei's wishful thinking.
After they let go, Lu Gongru immediately went to the imperial court to negotiate with Zhang Fei, Su Zhe and the others.
"I heard that Magistrate Lu has returned?"
Seeing Lu Gongru, Zhang Fei said in a low tone.
Lu Gongru looked at Zhang Fei with slight contempt and said, "Now he's back."
"That's it!"
Zhang Fei laughed a few times.
Su Zhe, who was on the side, saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Prefect Lu went and came back again and again. I wonder why?"
Lu Gongru said: "It's still about the complaints from the people of Jingzhao Mansion."
Zhang Fei asked: "I wonder if Magistrate Lu has any suggestions?"
"Suggestions are out of the question." After saying this, Lu Gongru changed the subject, "But I think that this matter has caused a stir in the city, and you, the public prosecutor and the law, are also shouldering the responsibility."
Zhang Fei was slightly surprised, "How can Governor Lu say this?"
Lu Gongru said: "I have repeatedly asked President Zhang to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to establish the Public Security Bureau for this purpose. Although the Public Security Bureau also implements the "Song Xingtong", the system is very different from the previous system. It is undeniable that The public security bureau must indeed be better.
But the problem lies in this aspect, because the old system cannot control this aspect at all, because under the old system, there are not enough manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Jingzhao Prefecture currently does not have a public prosecutor, so it cannot control it at all, and At present, the Public Security Bureau has not yet gone to Jingzhao Mansion, but President Zhang has the power to enforce the Public Security Law throughout Shaanxi Road. Is this without problems?
I had already foreseen this outcome, so I suggested to President Zhang to establish the Public Security Bureau in Jingzhao Prefecture early. However, President Zhang kept pushing and pushing, causing such chaos. Are you, the Public Security Bureau, and the Public Procuratorate unshirkable? "
He looked excited and foamed at the mouth. Zhang Fei could tell that he was venting his dissatisfaction with himself.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly and said: "This is all my fault, but I am really short of manpower. Bachelor Sima said he would send someone here, but now he doesn't even see anyone."
Sima Guang must be blamed for this.
Lu Gongru waved his hand and said, "Then what do you think we should do now?"
Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "What Magistrate Lu said makes sense. Prosecutor Su and I are very clear about this situation. Our Public Security Bureau will not settle old accounts. We will still be lenient. At most, we will blame the government." , rather than blaming officials."
Su Che also nodded.
Lu Gongru said: "But you are only treating the symptoms and not the root cause! Moreover, think about it, if people in Shaanxi Road can go to Hezhong Mansion to complain about this kind of thing, what will the officials of the state government think? How dare they do anything? What? This will inevitably delay official duties."
Zhang Fei nodded and said humbly: "To be fair to Magistrate Lu, this junior is inexperienced in this matter in the officialdom. I wonder if Magistrate Lu has any suggestions?"
yes! You are so young, where did you learn such bad intentions? Lu Gongru was also puzzled in his heart, but he said: "The matter has come to this, only if you immediately go to Jingzhao Prefecture to establish the Public Security Bureau, and then transfer the case to the imperial court of Jingzhao Prefecture for trial, is it reasonable and can avoid other states government officials’ uneasiness.”
Su Zhe couldn't help but smile to himself. It was so ridiculous for three innocent people to pretend to be confused here!
However, due to the different forces they represent, many things cannot be said openly.
Zhang Fei hesitated for a while, "Okay! Everything depends on Magistrate Lu."
Of course you will, isn't that what you want? Lu Gongru still couldn't hold it back and glared at Zhang Fei, as if to say, you are such a good boy.
Zhang Fei naturally pretended not to see it.
After Lu Gongru left, Su Zhe asked Zhang Fei, "When do you plan to leave?"
Zhang Fei was stunned and said, "I have no plans to go."
"ah?"
Su Zhe was stunned, could there be a purpose behind it? He couldn't help but said: "Then you just agreed to Magistrate Lu?"
Zhang Fei said "Oh": "Sorry, I didn't express myself clearly. What I meant was that I didn't plan to go in person."
Su Che asked: "What are your plans?"
Zhang Fei said: "Let Cai Bian and the others go."
Su Zhe asked slightly surprised: "Are you so worried about them?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "If I have to solve everything, then I should not be the president of the court, but should be the prime minister. Our purpose is to establish this system. If I leave, I will No, this is undoubtedly a failure.”
Su Che thought for a while and then nodded slightly, "No wonder you haven't held many court trials in the past year."
Zhang Fei just smiled, acquiescing, and said: "But Mr. Su Xiao can come over."
Su Che looked at Zhang Fei again.
Zhang Fei said: "The imperial court is passive after all, but the procuratorate is aggressive. The officials in Jingzhao Prefecture are not so easy to mess with. I'm afraid those prosecutors won't be able to suppress the situation. On the contrary, the public prosecutor's office in Hezhong Prefecture has already gone deep into People's hearts, everyone is used to doing things according to the rules, even if we are not here, everything can go on as normal."
Last time we came back to Hezhong Mansion, he was the one doing all the fighting, so this time it's my turn to help. Su Zhe thought about it secretly for a while, then nodded, "Okay! Then I'll go over and see for myself."
Last year, Zhang Fei once said that the mission of the Public Security Bureau this year is external expansion, not a tax storm, because that was determined early on, and after more than a year of hard work, it was just the harvest moment in the end. For Zhang Fei As far as I'm concerned, the feeling of pleasure has long since passed.
External expansion is the current top priority.
But now Zhang Fei has paved the way, creating an excellent opportunity for the Public Security Bureau, Procuratorate, and Law Enforcement. Because the other party's handle is in the hands of the Public Security Procuratorate, Procuratorate, and Law Enforcement, the other party naturally does not dare to act rashly.
The next step is to send troops to Jingzhao Mansion to establish the Public Security Bureau. Because Hezhong Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture are the two base camps of the border states, as long as they control these two state capitals, it will be much more convenient to go to Yanzhou, Linzhou and other places.
However, as Lu Gongru said, the old system did lack manpower, material resources, and financial resources. The police, procuratorate, and law actually cost a lot of money, which was equivalent to turning the previous officials into elites. Discipline was expensive. If you want to upgrade, you must spend money. Therefore, if the public prosecutor, procuratorate, and law want to To go, there must be financial support behind this.
The finance minister had to look for Yuan Jiang, so Zhang Fei quietly invited Han Jiang and Yuan Jiang to the imperial court today.
In a small room in the inner hall, Han Jiang, Yuan Jiang and Zhang Fei were sitting at the wine table, drinking.
"Haha, did you have a premeditated plan or an idea?" Han Jiang said with a smile.
Zhang Fei thought carefully for a while and said: "To be honest, it cannot be said that this was premeditated or a sudden inspiration."
Han Jiang asked curiously: "How do you say this?"
Zhang Fei said: "Prefect Lu had expected what happened today, and of course I had thought of it, so at that time I was thinking that if it really happened, I would take the opportunity to implement the new policy in Jingzhao Mansion."
"I see."
Han Jiang nodded, suddenly stunned, and said: "What do you mean, implement the New Deal? No...!"
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded: "Of course, I have not forgotten the task that Bachelor Wang gave me."
Yuan Jiang hurriedly asked: "Where do you start talking about this?"
Zhang Fei said: "How do you think this lawsuit should be decided?"
The two looked at each other.
"Yes! Even if this lawsuit goes to Jingzhao Mansion for trial, it will not be easy to judge." Yuan Jiang frowned.
It was rare for Han Jiang to guess. Zhang Fei's attainments in law were truly astonishing. He waved his hand and said, "You kid, please stop showing off and tell me what's going on."
Zhang Fei said: "First of all, the people do have grievances. Secondly, for this widespread problem, if we talk about compensation, almost all the people have to be compensated. This is obviously something the government cannot do. So there is only one solution!"
"Promote Changping Division!" Yuan Jiang said immediately.
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "That's right! Just like us before, our imperial court is still only responsible for making judgments according to law, and then the Changping Division will solve the problem, so as to win the support of the New Deal. However, since this matter is at fault with the government, The government must make up for it, so it can lend money to the people at low or no interest rates. Anyway, Chang Pingsi is not making money from this interest now.
Moreover, all these loans can be made with salt banknotes, because as long as the public security organs are there, the people will not be so worried about salt banknotes, and this will not affect the local finance of Jingzhao Prefecture. However, I suggest that Majia Jiekupu should do this. "
Han Jiang nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "One link after another, wonderful! How wonderful!"
It is conceivable that once the Public Security Bureau is established in Jingzhao Mansion, everyone's attention will be focused on the Public Security Law, and the new government will enter Jingzhao Mansion very smoothly. There really is no more perfect start than this.
Yuan Jiang suddenly said with emotion: "In fact, the New Deal and the Public Security Bureau and the Law are complementary to each other, and cooperation is a win-win situation. I don't know why the government has to fight to the death."
This sentence directly ruined the day.
If there is only a struggle for power in the court, only victory and defeat, but no struggle for right and wrong, then they are not a group of decent people, but a group of hooligans with abnormal IQs. Who can be an official with a decent person?
Here, he can say this so easily, but in court, he also has to choose sides.
It’s so cold at high places!
Yuan Jiang also realized that she had let something slip, and quickly changed the subject: "President Zhang, please tell us more in detail, so that I can arrange the arrangements then."
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.
Of course, Han Jiang and Yuan Jiang both support this. This is definitely in the interest of the New Deal. It’s really nice to have the public prosecutors and law absorbing hatred from the front!
After talking with Yuan Jiang and the others, Zhang Fei went to Majia Jiekupu.
According to Wang Anshi's philosophy, the government controls everything. All profitable business is done by the government, and businessmen go away.
However, due to the emergence of the Public Security Bureau, this model has changed. The government no longer needs to do everything, and can use the talents of businessmen to do all this, because the Public Security Law ensures that the rights and interests at both ends of the contract are equal, which makes the businessmen You can do business more freely, and no one will say that the new law is competing for the interests of the people.
Now Hezhong Prefecture officials don’t talk about it anymore.
"Third brother, we're here!"
Long Wu stopped the carriage, and Li Si turned around and shouted into the carriage.
Zhang Fei was about to get out of the car when he saw the store was packed with people, "Wow! There are so many people!"
It turns out that with the promulgation of these new policies, the first prosperous industry was naturally Jiekupu, because many businessmen wanted to do this wine business. Although the competition was fierce, as long as they grabbed a place, it would be a golden job.
But doing such a business requires funds, so many people come to Majiajiekupu to inquire about borrowing money.
Zhang Fei directly asked Long Wu to drive to the back door. He didn't know if he was seen by the store clerk. When they arrived at the back door, Fan Zheng was already waiting there.
After some pleasantries, Zhang Fei saw that Fan Zheng seemed to be worried, and couldn't help but said: "Fan Da, business is so good, why are you still looking so sad?"
Fan Zheng glanced at Zhang Fei with complicated eyes, "Third brother, to tell you the truth, if I had another choice, I probably wouldn't do this business."
Zhang Fei was surprised: "Why?"
Fan Zheng said distressedly: "I wanted to make my business bigger, but I didn't expect it to be so big, not to mention how many money transactions there are every day. In addition, there are also salt banknotes and salt debts. The accounts of the Taxation Department, there are also military pay and flying money, these are not ordinary transactions, if you are not careful, you may lose your entire family or even your family. Me!"
Zhang Fei laughed: "You are blaming me for robbing the seedlings."
Fan Zheng said hurriedly: "I didn't mean that. It's just that I'm not capable enough and I may betray Third Brother's trust. This is beyond my ability. Therefore, I have written back to the capital a few days ago and asked Uncle Ma to come in person. One trip, I believe Uncle Ma and the people from Xiangguo Temple are familiar with this business."
Zhang Fei nodded slightly, "That's okay. The people in Xiangguo Temple may be better at handling these matters, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. In fact, there is no other way to do this kind of thing. It's just that you are familiar with it. This Qian Guan and Ten Wan Guan’s handling method is not much different.”
Fan Zhengdao: "Having said that, it involves not only money transactions, but also salt banknotes, salt debts, and military pay for tax police and soldiers. I have to lend the money to make a profit, and I have to ensure that the tax police and soldiers can To get money from us all the time, I have to deal with a lot of collateral in my hands."
Zhang Fei encouraged again: "You can do it. At least it looks very good so far."
Fan Zheng shook his head with a wry smile. He was really not humble. Although the current development was very good, he knew that if something went wrong, it would trigger a series of chain reactions. He didn't know if he had the ability to make up for it.
Zhang Fei knew his character well and said: "Fan Da, do you know why I chose to cooperate with you?"
Fan Zheng subconsciously asked: "Why?"
"It's because you are cautious." Zhang Fei said: "This business requires this kind of personality. If you let the Yamen do it, it will definitely go bankrupt in one month. If you are not suitable, then I actually have no other choice. In fact, you are the only one s Choice."
"Ouch! I don't dare, I don't dare, Third Brother is overly praised." Fan Zheng was a little flattered, but after Zhang Fei said this, his confidence increased a little, and he said: "By the way, Third Brother, you come What is this?"
Zhang Fei chuckled: "I'm just here to help grow the seedlings."
"ah?"
"I hope you will cooperate with the New Deal to build Jingzhao Palace."
".?"
Fan Zheng suddenly felt hopeless. The Hezhong Mansion had almost exhausted all his energy, so he went to Jingzhao Mansion again.
Zhang Fei said again: "Fan Da, do you think it is more difficult to open this store, or to build a public security bureau?"
"Of course it's the public prosecutor's office." Fan Zheng replied.
Zhang Fei said: "But I am obviously more relaxed than you."
Fan Zheng said hurriedly: "How can I compare with you, third brother?"
Zhang Fei said: "It's not that you can't compare, it's that you haven't understood the trick."
Fan Zheng cupped his hands and said, "I hope Third Brother can give me some advice."
"Simple, rules."
Zhang Fei said: "The reason why I am so relaxed is that I focus on establishing rules, and then everyone performs their duties. If there is something to do, I will be busy, and if there is nothing, I will be free. If you let me do everything, no matter how big or small, I will do it." Like you, I would rather live in seclusion in the mountains than do such a thankless job.
You can no longer manage Jiekupu with the same thinking as managing Baifanlou. You can't manage it either. You must set up a set of rules to regulate those clerks. In this case, you only need to focus on decision-making. , instead of staring at it in the store every day like now, the key is that you can't catch it. "
Fan Zheng was suddenly enlightened and enlightened. He nodded thoughtfully, but then he thought, how to establish this rule?
Suddenly, a small book was handed to him. He was slightly startled and looked up at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "There are some rules and regulations about doing business here. Please study them carefully and then adjust them according to your own situation."
Although he is not a businessman with a professional background, he still knows a lot about the company system, but he cannot copy everything. Fan Zheng needs to modify it according to the current situation.
"Thank you, third brother."
Fan Zheng took it excitedly. He knew in his heart that what Zhang Fei could give away must be very precious, so he couldn't wait to open it and read it.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Why don't you wait until I leave to see you again?"
"Huh? Oh."
Fan Zheng closed the small notebook, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, third brother, for your generous teaching. Fan Zheng is grateful."
Fan Zheng already felt that he had benefited a lot from these first two or three words, and his confidence was immediately overwhelming!
After arranging these arrangements, Zhang Fei began to order troops and generals without stopping.
Imperial Court, conference room.
When the three little kings saw Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian coming in, they were inadvertently excited. The three of them had already known the details.
Zhang Fei sat down and glanced at it, "It's a mule or a horse. It's time to take it out for a walk."
Cai Bian said confidently: "Teacher, please rest assured, we will not let you down."
Zhang Fei asked: "How do you plan to judge this case?"
".!"
He is so handsome for only three seconds!
"Um?"
Zhang Fei looked at them reluctantly.
Shangguan Jun said: "In fact, it is not the officials' fault for things like household land tax. They are just following orders, and the income earned is most likely recorded in the finance. We can follow the example of the previous military salary compensation and record the main responsibilities. The government will then give some compensation to those farmers."
Zhang Fei said: "If this is the verdict, it will be compensation to all the people of Jingzhao Mansion. Can you get so much money?"
Cai Bian immediately said: "We can also provide them with a livelihood."
Zhang Fei said: "The same principle applies. Do you have so much livelihood to offer?"
"Well."
At this time, Cai Jing suddenly said: "We can use the Changping Division to help them."
"Look."
Zhang Fei said: "This is where Cai Dabi is better than you. And from the perspective of the legal system, you must first remember the interests of the country and the monarch. It is not enough to just know how to be considerate of the people. In fact, don't those officials want to think about the people? ? No, they also want the people to sing praises for them, but they still have to report to the court, and the same applies to our public prosecutors and law."
"Yes, the students have remembered it."
"I will help you solve your worries this time."
Zhang Fei said: "At that time, I will let Majia Jiekupu open a branch there, and Changping Division will lend low-interest or interest-free loans to those farmers to help them tide over this difficulty. You just need to give them the most fair judgment." , in order to win the hearts and minds of the people.”
Cai Bian said nonchalantly: "The teacher has already solved the most difficult problem. The students are really ashamed."
Zhang Fei glanced at him, "Do you still have time to be ashamed of yourself now? Work hard and don't let your efforts down."
