Chapter 613: A desperate fight(1/3)
Hearing?
The four little King Kongs seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help secretly communicating with their eyes.
Is this the completion system that the teacher said?
Probably so.
Isn't this to restrict our imperial court?
Well.
In fact, strictly speaking, this is a hearing, not a lawsuit. Just because the Imperial Court did not have a hearing system before, the procuratorate can only solve this problem through litigation.
But this is actually very necessary.
Although the Imperial Court has not changed the laws and regulations, the Imperial Court is constantly giving out new interpretations and precedent principles. If there is no hearing, then Zhang Fei alone has the final say in judicial interpretations and judicial principles, and what will happen in the end
Becoming Zhang Fei is the law, which cannot be preserved as an institution.
Zhang Fei also didn't trust other court presidents to do this.
He must complete this system so that judicial interpretations and judicial principles can be more tested.
After it was over, there was no applause or flowers, only deafening discussions.
Compared with previous lawsuits, this lawsuit is particularly special and highly professional, because this lawsuit is all about the interpretation of laws and regulations.
Many people don't understand it, and some people only know a little bit about it, but they all find it very interesting and feel that they have learned a lot.
As for scholars, it is even more remarkable. For the first time, they realize that the study of law is so interesting.
They did not leave immediately, but started discussing with each other.
At this time, law school students have become the intersection point, because they have already started classes and are learning the legal system. Although it is not enough, it is more than enough to deceive these people.
As for the officials at the VIP table, they focused more on the changes in the expressions of Su Che and Zhang Fei. They originally thought that this was another direct act by the public prosecutor, procuratorate, and law, but the frustrated expression on Su Che's face made them confused again.
They felt that the procuratorate was serious.
This makes Wei Yingfang and the others have a very complicated feeling. If this is true, it means that the Public Security Bureau, Procuratorate, and Law are aboveboard. According to the system of Public Security Bureau, Procuratorate, and Law, the three are checks and balances. It seems that this is also the case. The Procuratorate can openly question the imperial court's decision.
Judgments in lawsuits and interpretations of justice.
Of course they don't want to believe this fact, and they don't want to accept it.
If the police, prosecutors, and law were so serious, it would only be them who would suffer!
In the future, you may not be able to fish at work. If something goes wrong, you will really be investigated.
But Su Che didn't care about this. He left the work to Chen Qi and the others, and then went to the back hall to find Zhang Fei.
"President Zhang's legal attainments are indeed impressive."
Su Che first complimented Zhang Fei as a sign of approval for the hearing, but then said: "But I am still worried about this. Many laws and regulations have good intentions in the first place, but they end up being used by the government to exploit the people."
reason.
Although I know the purpose of President Zhang, a fair government can indeed help the people avoid bullying by big landlords in contract disputes, but facts have proved that when the government bullies the people, the people will only become worse."
You think about the people, I agree with that, but you often do bad things with good intentions.
This is exactly the same as the reason for opposing Wang Anshi.
In the past, it was impossible for the government to go to people's homes and confiscate property based on contract disputes or civil lawsuits. However, the imperial court gave the government this power with this explanation. Can you guarantee that they can enforce the law impartially?
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Prosecutor Su, in fact, in this lawsuit, you ignored a very important point, so much so that I was embarrassed to speak out in court."
"Really?" Su Che asked quickly, "Do you want President Zhang to inform you?"
Zhang Fei said: "It's just for yourself."
"Myself?"
Su Zhe couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "If it were the previous branch system, I wouldn't dare to explain it like this, but now is the era of public prosecutors and law. The establishment of the public security law system is to prevent Mr. Su Xiao's worries. I
The explanation is based on the public prosecutor's law.
In other words, what can really eliminate Mr. Su Xiao's worries is not my judicial interpretation and the imperial court's punishment principles, but the entire system of the public prosecutor, prosecutor and law."
After hearing this, Su Zhe was stunned for a moment, then suddenly held his forehead and smiled awkwardly: "That's right! Why did I ignore the system of the Public Security Bureau, Procuratorate, and the Law?"
Zhang Fei said: "The reason why I give this explanation is precisely to solve Mr. Su Xiao's worries. There have been so many lawsuits before, which is enough to prove that lawsuits between people are not that difficult to handle. The most difficult thing to handle is
Disputes between officials and people. If the debts are not clear, it will be difficult for the imperial court to make decisions for the people.
In the past, it was very difficult to ask for salt debts and military pay, and it required a little trickery. The key was that the debt was not clear in their contract. The government actually had a chance to win the case, but at that time
They don’t trust Erbi and are not familiar with the trial process of the public prosecutor and the judiciary.”
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Su Che nodded repeatedly. He now understood everything. The key was to be able to stop the new law. In the new law, it would be difficult for the government to force the people. He stood up and was about to salute and apologize, but Zhang Fei dared to stop him.
"Mr. Su Xiao, there is no need to apologize, this is the law of the public prosecutor." Zhang Fei said with a smile.
Su Che was stunned for a moment, then hehehe said: "Yes! This is the public prosecutor's law."
In fact, the reason why Zhang Fei gave this explanation was not to deal with disputes between the government and the people, but to serve business.
Don't underestimate this. This is a small explanation, a small change, just writing the debt details into the contract and stipulating that the contract is equal to the law, but this is actually better than many of Wang Anshi's business policies.
This could even bring the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty to a higher level, because businessmen would have a greater sense of security, and industry and commerce would inevitably become more prosperous.
Within a few days, the imperial court published a notice about the seizure and purchase of civil lawsuits in the legal newspaper.
It was even stricter than what was said in court. Not only could people's property not be touched, but seals could only be put in place. Moreover, it was not immediately possible to seal the property after winning the lawsuit. Instead, the court could only dispatch bailiffs after three reminders.
, to enforce it.
As far as possible, it is left to the private sector to resolve matters themselves, and not to easily use public power to enforce enforcement.
Since that "hearing" attracted national attention to legal studies, this issue of the Legal Journal immediately aroused heated discussion among the public.
At the same time, the place in front of the Imperial Court was full of people, but these people were not going to the Imperial Court to do business, but crowded into the bookstore in front of the Imperial Court.
Because according to the judicial interpretation given by the imperial court, the contract becomes crucial, which involves profits and debts, not only the starting point, but also the end point.
The previous kind of contract will be completely eliminated, and the new contract already needs professionals to draw up, which cannot be drawn up by ordinary people.
This is why Zhang Fei transferred Qiu Zhengwen from the Legal Aid Department to the bookstore.
Regarding contract drafting, only Bianjing Law Firm is the most professional. Bookstores such as Lu Bangxing and Li Min can only serve a certain person and cannot provide services on a wide scale.
However, Bianjing Law Firm has now achieved small profits but quick turnover, similar to ordinary land deeds, which only cost ten cents each, and are all printed.
Not only is it more professional than a dental clinic, it is also much cheaper.
It’s hard to imagine whether this kind of business will be popular!
As a result, the Erbi industry has completely gained a foothold in Hezhong Prefecture. They are not just filing lawsuits, but also taking over some of the functions of Yahang. Now Yahang is just a trader.
Of course the Ya people hated him very much, but they had nothing to do. Those bookstores were all open in front of the imperial court. How dare they look for trouble!
However, an announcement from the Department of Taxation, in an instant, literally in an instant, stole all the limelight from the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, and the Law.
This new tax collection method has finally been announced.
There is no one thing that attracts more attention than this one, it really concerns everyone.
The essence is a new tax law, but since the Department of Taxation has no power to promulgate tax laws, the announcement of the Department of Taxation mainly emphasizes the unification of taxes, so the provisions on tax exemption must continue to be used.
There are still six levels in total.
Calculated based on one stone per mu.
For less than 15 acres, 5% will be levied.
Since in the exemption tax, less than 15 acres is exempt, the base tax is 5%.
For 15 to 30 acres, a tax of 6% is levied, which is a rough 5% plus a 1% exemption tax.
From 30 acres to 50 acres, the tax is 7%.
From fifty acres to one hundred acres, a tax of 9% is levied.
From 100 acres to 300 acres, a tax of 11% is levied.
For areas above 300 acres, a 15% tax is levied.
As for businessmen and citizens, their corresponding income is exempt from tax, and the amounts in the six grades are the same.
The previous tax law was based on addition, and various miscellaneous taxes were added together. Now the independent declaration is based on subtraction. The tax-free privileges can be reduced, the deed tax can be reduced, and the liquor tax can be reduced. It is also solemnly stated that after the reduction,
That's the final level.
It stipulates that the Forbidden Army soldiers must be taxed at 50 guan, and the tax must be paid after more than 50 guan.
This tax law is truly a world of ice and fire.
Those big landowners and big squires are very angry. The poor only need to pay 5%, but we rich people have to pay 15% tax. Is there any justice in this?
Do you understand what feudal class society is?
