Chapter 461 Military Court
Is Wang Anshi more inclined to the Legalists? He still hopes to use an iron fist to settle all dissatisfaction. He is not going to show off his power. He is just going to beat and beat the Xiangguo Temple. feelings.
In Zhang Fei's view, as long as the other party does not use some illegal means to target him personally like Wang Wenshan and Wang Hong, then he will not use ultimate moves easily, and he must follow the rules in everything and not mess around.
Because if he didn't play by the rules, he might have died in Dengzhou prison.
He is very committed to this philosophy.
Although Xiangguo Temple's behavior is annoying, it is also operated within the rules, and there is nothing wrong with it.Besides, Zhang Fei has to continue to cooperate with Xiangguo Temple, which is the biggest benefactor of the charity foundation.
Not long after Wang Anshi left, Xu Zhiqian came in. Today she was dressed like a man, her figure was tall and straight, and she was full of vigor. She looked around, "Huh? I heard that Xueshi Wang is here?"
"Just left."
Zhang Fei asked again: "How is the situation outside?"
Xu Zhiqian sat down and said: "At present, there has not been any change in the rural households, because they have exchanged all the coins in their hands for food while taking advantage of the low food price. Although everyone has no longer hoarded coins, but Because they lack the means to earn coins, they still lack coins in their hands."
This woman couldn't sit still at home, so she returned to her post and was in charge of the Legal Aid Department and charity affairs.
Zhang Fei nodded slightly, then asked Xu Zhiqian: "What are your plans?"
Xu Zhiqian thought for a while, and said: "I heard that there are still a large number of police uniforms to be made at the police station, and before we found all the citizens, but the citizens have many ways to earn money, I hope that the police uniforms can be given to those people. Villagers do it."
Zhang Fei said thoughtfully: "We can directly make decisions about the police uniforms donated by the charity foundation, but the rest will have to be allocated by Sinong Temple. I will discuss it with them at that time. I believe this is not a big problem."
At the same time, I thought in my heart that the Si Nong Temple has collected so much money, so I have to spend it!
But after thinking about it, it might not be that easy. Wang Anshi's reform also needs money. He wants to manage money for the country, which requires capital.
Xu Zhiqian lowered her voice and said: "This problem is not small, you'd better try it out first, but don't rush to talk about it."
Zhang Fei asked curiously, "Why?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "This sum of money is quite a lot. Maybe Sinong Temple has already arranged it. I'm not saying that Han Temple will be corrupted. It's just that in the past, the officials of the government office would use it to take care of those who have no salary. official."
"That's it!"
Zhang Fei thought for a while, and said: "When I talk to Han Si about the matter, I will take the initiative to mention this, so as not to make it difficult for him."
Although this is against the rules, there is no way around it. Those officials just hope to do this kind of work to make money. If the chief does not entrust them with these tasks, then they will not work hard.
Xu Zhiqian said again: "In addition to police uniforms, there are also movable type workshops and football leagues."
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and said, "Those rural households can't do these jobs, it's all technical jobs!"
Xu Zhiqian said: "Technical work can be left in the workshop, but some basic crafts can be handed over to those rural households, such as making the pig pouches for the football. These can be washed and dried by the rural households first. , and the clay from the movable type workshop, they may not be able to engrave characters, but they can still make the clay into cubes.”
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes, but how many people can it help?"
"It is one who can help one."
Xu Zhiqian said again: "Besides, since the Royal Police established a foothold in the countryside, it has become more convenient for businesses to do business with the countryside."
"Yes, increasing the connection with the countryside can also make rural households more dependent on the Royal Police."
Zhang Fei nodded, and said to Xu Zhiqian: "Okay, you should make a detailed plan first, after all, you have to discuss it with Fan Zheng."
Xu Zhiqian nodded happily.
Now writing proposals is really her forte. After all, she helps Zhang Fei write various copywriting every day. Although the artistry has not improved, the professionalism has improved a lot.
"Third Brother!"
Li Si came in suddenly, first looked left and right, saw no outsiders were there, and then whispered: "Third brother, the officials let you enter the palace."
Xu Zhiqian frowned and said, "Could something have happened?"
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "It is estimated that I was invited to the palace to hold a celebration banquet. This time the official family has also made a lot of money."
Xu Zhiqian's face was startled, and she whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears."
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.
Zhao Xu is undoubtedly the biggest winner of this incident. The success of the tax exemption and the start of the imperial clan reform, the key is that he still earns a lot of money.
It's really flattering!
Zhang Fei, a confidant, must be called into the palace, so that he can celebrate.
"Haha, a small salt bill can easily resolve the crisis of money shortage, and even make me feel bad, what a pleasure! I respect you."
Zhao Xu raised his glass boldly to Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei raised his glass to greet him, drank it down, put down the glass, but there was not much joy on his face, and said: "The official is too famous, in fact, it is only because of one point that we can win a big victory this time."
Zhao Xu asked, "Which point?"
"It's the Salt Administration."
Zhang Fei explained: "If the Yan government hadn't been completely controlled by the court, we wouldn't have won easily. You know, it's hard for this clever woman to cook without rice!"
Zhao Xu nodded slightly.
Zhang Fei continued: "Officials, they may not make trouble for the time being, but it doesn't mean they will stop there, as long as the imperial court wants to collect taxes from them, they will definitely make a comeback.
But now the imperial court has less than [-]% of the official land. In terms of coins, the imperial court can't compete with the people. The imperial court only has the salt administration in its hands, and it is completely controlled in its hands. It must manage the salt administration well. "
Since salt bills are directly linked to salt, Zhang Fei knows very well that the imperial court will definitely continue to issue salt bills. As long as it is reasonable, it can promote commercial development, and securities are also a kind of currency.
However, if the salt government is not well managed, this trick will not work until the flood of private salt.
"I know that too."
Zhao Xu looked dignified, and said quite seriously: "Actually, the salt administration is more related to the situation in the northwest. A large part of the military expenditure of the northwest frontier states comes from the salt administration of Jiezhou; in addition, there is also the salt and tea trade with Xixia. The problem is that there will be turmoil on the northwest border, and I often feel headaches because of it."
Why is salt solution so important? It’s not that only Jiezhou produced salt in the Northern Song Dynasty, or that the salt output was ridiculous, but that salt solution is directly related to the finance of border states, and at the same time, it is closely related to the trade of Xixia.
Almost every time Xixia fought with the Northern Song Dynasty, it was because of salt, and the conflict with Liao was because of territory.
Because Xixia’s green and white salt is good and cheap, it only costs four Wen a catty to sell to the border. This is the main financial income of Xixia. After all, there is not much arable land in Xixia, and it is all Gobi. As long as the Song Dynasty prohibits salt trade with Xixia , there must be a war.
It can be seen that for Xixia, the Song Dynasty actually took the initiative. If the emperor didn't want to fight, he would let go a little bit, and Xixia would take it easy, but if he wanted to fight, he would tighten up immediately.
And Zhao Xu has always regarded Xixia as a stick in his throat, and he will definitely fight. Therefore, since he came to the throne, he has been slowly tightening the salt and tea trade with Xixia, so the people of Bianzhou need to rely entirely on salt. If there is no solution salt, it can only be imported from Xixia.
It failed a few times because the people in Bianzhou rebelled against themselves. The court cut off the cheap salt from Xixia and did not provide cheap salt. The people would ask, what is the reason for fighting Xixia?
It was Fan Xiang and Xue Xiang who solved this problem.
Once there is a problem in Xiezhou, it will affect both the border and the inland.
Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Fei again, and said, "So I also hoped to go to the Northwest to build a good public security law."
The success of the exemption tax made him treat the public security law differently. He also hoped that the public security law could help him manage the Northwest and prepare for the war.
Zhang Fei said: "But there are frontier troops in the northwest, and many frontier troops have been passed down from generation to generation. They have their own military laws. How should the public prosecutors deal with them?"
Zhao Xu didn't know how to get along, but he also saw that Zhang Fei was a little shaken, so he said: "What do you think, I will try my best to support you."
He said he was doing his best, not his best.
It can be seen that he is also afraid.
Zhang Fei asked suddenly: "What do the officials think those generals are most afraid of?"
Zhao Xu was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "I should be most afraid of Yu Shi's impeachment."
Zhang Fei asked again: "Why?"
Zhao Xu just looked at him with a smile without saying a word.
The reason why the generals were afraid of impeachment by the censor was because the emperors of the Song Dynasty were very afraid of their generals. Generally, the emperor would take action when there was some disturbance.
But this can't be said!
Zhang Fei hurriedly explained: "The reason why I ask this is because I think that under this system, many military generals were framed by civil officials, and in the end I lost good generals in the Great Song Dynasty."
Zhao Xu hesitated for a long time, and said with a subtle and tactful look: "I have always used literature to control military affairs, and most civil officials impeach military generals, mostly because military generals do not obey orders, so..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but he was able to say this to Zhang Fei, which meant that he trusted Zhang Fei very much.
Why do civil officials suppress military generals? This is the reason why civil officials construct crimes and frame military generals. In fact, the core essence is the dispute between civil and military.
And when the emperor judged whether it was a false accusation, he often did not only consider the evidence, but proceeded from the rule. The system is to control the military with literature.There can be no slack in this.
The so-called "framing" may not be a false accusation in the eyes of the emperor.
After all, the emperor's perspective is different from everyone else's, and he stands tallest.
Of course, the emperors of the Song Dynasty actually killed relatively few generals, and most of them just gave you a idle job and let you go home and stay.
Zhang Fei said: "However, this often makes the easy-to-reach victories go away, and also makes the generals fearful."
Zhao Xu asked directly: "Do you have the best of both worlds?"
Zhang Fei said: "I'm thinking, can we use this to introduce the Public Prosecution Law?"
Zhao Xu frowned and asked, "How do you say that?"
Zhang Fei said: "If the Public Prosecution Law wants to gain a foothold in the Northwest, the first thing is to suppress those troops. But recklessness can't do it for them, and they can only accept the Public Prosecution Law by using both kindness and force.
They are not afraid of impeachment by civil officials, so why didn't the court set up a military court. "
Zhao Xu asked in surprise, "Military imperial court?"
"Not bad!"
Zhang Fei nodded, "As the name suggests, this military imperial court is dedicated to hearing all cases related to the military. The generals are most afraid of being impeached by civil officials. If the generals can get a fair trial, I believe they will be willing to accept it."
Zhao Xu frowned and said, "But there are military laws in the army, won't the two conflict?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "As far as I know, the current military law is composed of laws and disciplines. Once the military imperial court is established, the legal part will be under the control of the imperial court, such as deserters, or leaking secrets. Criminal acts, regardless of generals and soldiers, have to be judged by the imperial court, and officials can also use the imperial court to check and balance the army.
In this way, not only can the public security and law enforcement gain a foothold in the northwest, but it can also provide our army with combat effectiveness. "
