With the help of the government, the military, and the soldiers' own wishes, this accusation storm was directly pushed to a climax.

The soldiers who went to the Procuratorate, from being brothers and friends at first, are now going from battalion to battalion, and they still have in their hands a wealth of evidence provided by the military camp and the government.

There is no doubt that the Procuratorate has become the busiest department in the entire Song Dynasty, and it does not even have time to take a breath.

For this reason, the Imperial Court and the police station all dispatched personnel to help.

In fact, this is also a key and common method used by local officials to fight against important imperial courts.

If we want to trace the origin of this method, it is the purpose of the emperor to rule the country.

Feudal society has never pursued development, development and re-development, but has pursued stability, stability and re-stability. This is also the biggest difference between feudal society and modern society.

Based on this, coupled with the backwardness of management technology, the most effective way is for the emperor to cooperate with local forces. I will give you power and you will give me stability.

This is the reason why the imperial power does not extend to counties.

As for whether the people are getting better and better, the emperor doesn't care at all.

Whenever I hear the emperor talk about people's livelihood, he always talks about whether he will starve to death, rather than talking about big fish and meat. As long as the people can survive, they will not cause trouble and it will not affect the emperor's political rule.

The most reasonable evaluation of the ancient prosperous times is that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the people are stable, not wealthy. This is the most basic. If the national treasury is full, it will be a prosperous age.

It can even be understood that as long as the country does not dig out the last mouthful of food from the people, it will be a pretty good regime.

In this case, the most effective measure for local governments to take against the central government is to create unrest.

As long as there is turmoil, the emperor will be anxious, and both parties must discuss and then make a compromise.

This is also the fundamental reason why reforms in ancient times were very difficult. Reforms were often aimed at getting rich and powerful, and of course, in order to make the central government rich and powerful.

But maintaining stability is the emperor's bottom line, but this is not the prime minister's bottom line.

This discrepancy is often the root cause of reform failure.

As soon as you reform, my place will be in chaos. Once there is chaos, the emperor will become anxious and will often retreat, because imperial power always comes first.

Why Zhang Juzheng was able to succeed in the Ming Dynasty was because he controlled the emperor.

However, in most reform events, when faced with local unrest, the emperor and the prime minister often had two different attitudes. The prime minister often wanted to be tough to the end, but as the unrest increased further, the emperor would choose to retreat.

It's because their vital interests are inconsistent.

As long as the purpose of feudal social rule remains unchanged, this trick will definitely be tried and tested.

They dare to do this even under the emperor's feet, let alone in the local area.

If you just want to light a small fire to use the light, he will directly cook a large barbecue for you.

The second floor of a pub diagonally opposite the Procuratorate.

"well."

Wang Shao couldn't help but sigh when he saw the dark area in front of the Procuratorate, "We've finally come this far!"

From the moment Chen Guang went to the procuratorate to file a complaint, he had already encountered this scene.

The root cause of insufficient military pay is not really corruption, but rather fiscal deficit, and officials must be taking advantage of this to launch an attack.

Because even if everything is done fairly and our officials are not greedy at all and don't even use public funds to eat or drink, you can't afford military pay!

If you get to the end of the investigation, you will definitely get to the head of the imperial court.

Wang Shao then looked at Cai Yanqing, who was sitting across from him with a deep eyebrow and was thinking, and asked: "Brother Zhongyuan, if we really want to act in accordance with the law, can Hezhong Mansion's finances handle it?"

Cai Yanqing shook his head and said: "I absolutely cannot afford it, unless..."

Wang Shao asked: "Unless what?"

Cai Yanqing said: "Unless the Salt Division issues salt debts to compensate for this part of the military expenditure."

Wang Shao frowned and said: "This is unlikely! After the quarrel between Yuan Xuesi and the imperial court, it is impossible that he would be willing to bear such a large debt for the public prosecutor and the law. The salt debt must be repaid in the end."

"Then there's only one way."

"disarmament?"

"exactly."

Cai Yanqing nodded and said: "As we all know, the root cause of insufficient military pay is that the country cannot afford to support so many soldiers."

"Actually, I've thought of this too."

Wang Shao nodded and said: "However, the issue of disarmament has always been debated between the DPRK and China, and the relationship is very complicated, and may even directly affect officials. It is not as simple as adding a few legal principles.

I don’t believe that the Public Security Bureau can use laws to force the imperial court to disarm. This is absolutely impossible.”

Disarmament is definitely a top priority for the country. How can we say that the imperial court forced the imperial court to disarm? This is simply a fantasy.

Cai Yanqing said: "I agree with this, so I thought about whether salt debts could be used to shoulder this part of the debt."

Wang Shao asked: "Have you never thought about the failure of the public security tribunal and law enforcement?"

"Of course."

Cai Yanqing sighed: "Su Ziyou came to me to discuss it initially, which shows that he is also aware of this problem, so he hopes to solve it privately, but unfortunately the transportation department does not agree.

In my opinion, the Procuratorate is also forced into a blind corner, and he can only do this, otherwise, in the future, the people will only recognize the imperial court and not the Procuratorate."

"This Su Ziyou is still a little too young after all!"

Wang Shao sighed and said: "The situation is very complicated now. We all have to pay more attention to it. It will cause trouble, but we must not make trouble. Otherwise, none of us will be able to escape the involvement."

Cai Yanqing nodded, but he always had a glimmer of hope in his heart, because he was sure that Yuan Jiang and Zhang Fei were related. If he was not sure, there was no way Yuan Jiang could reject the prosecutor's appeal.

Accustomed to Gao Wenyin's attentive service, Zhang Fei usually doesn't eat out, but tries to eat at home as much as possible, no matter how late.

But this morning, Zhang Fei came to the big dog shop in front of the door to have breakfast.

"Big Dog, the food in your store is getting better and better."

"That's because we hired a fireman recently."

"Yeah?"

"I know this fireman, President Zhang, too."

The big dog said and shouted into the shed, "Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu!"

"Why!"

I saw Chen Xiaowu running out of the shed. When he saw Zhang Fei, he said excitedly: "Here comes President Zhang."

Zhang Fei said in surprise: "Chen Xiaowu?"

This Chen Xiaowu is the Huo Fu who appeared in court to testify for Zhong Er last time.

"President Zhang still remembers the villain!"

"Why are you here?"

Zhang Fei asked curiously.

Chen Xiaowu said hey: "I have not wanted to work in the army for a long time. My service is due to expire this year. After going to court that day, I saw that there were more firemen here, so I came to give it a try. Brother Dog really wanted me.

.”

The big dog smiled and said: "Then you are good at your craftsmanship! Just now, President Zhang praised you for doing well."

"Really?"

Chen Xiaowu said in surprise.

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "It's indeed very good. This cake is made very authentically."

"As long as President Zhang likes it, that's fine."

Chen Xiaowu chatted for a few words and then returned to the shed to work.

Zhang Fei pointed to the stool next to him and said, "Sit down."

"Why!"

After Big Dog sat down, Zhang Fei looked around and whispered: "How is the development of the Taxation Department?"

Dagou said hurriedly: "It's relatively smooth, because there are a lot of people in Hezhong Prefecture who are practicing evil ways. It's easy to get in touch with such people, and they are very well-informed."

Zhang Fei asked: "Among these evil ways, which one is the most prosperous and the easiest to develop its power."

"Selling private salt." Big Dog whispered.

Zhang Fei said: "Remember, before I came here, we arranged for a salt vendor."

Big Dog nodded and said: "Yes, it is the best development of this industry."

Zhang Fei said: "But this is not enough. Things are developing faster than I thought. The tax department may have to come to Hezhong Mansion early next year."

"Early next year?"

The big dog frowned and said, "I'm afraid this isn't enough!"

Zhang Fei said: "Think of a way."

The big dog glanced at Zhang Fei and said, "Unless."
