Chapter 617 Adding fuel to the fire(1/3)

Historically, after the promulgation of the Green Crops Law, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, two close friends, completely fell out and became strangers. The only project the two collaborated on after that was to completely drag the Song court into the quagmire of party struggle. In the end,

It was ended during the Huizong era and almost continued until the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

This is really a big tragedy and very sad.

Obviously we all know what the problem is, we obviously worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness, but the result is the opposite.

However, due to the arrival of Zhang Fei, this situation has changed slightly.

The two have gone from a life-and-death struggle in history to a current situation of competition and cooperation.

Zhao Xu's initial arrangement was that each of you should take care of one thing and perform your duties.

But in the end, the New Deal is still the mainstay, with judicial reform as the supplement.

The priorities are clear.

At that time, in the view of conservatives, judicial reform was only used to check and balance the New Deal and had no other use.

Therefore, the cooperation between the two has achieved considerable success in Hezhong Prefecture.

But the problem is that the success of Hezhong Mansion caused many people in the court to sincerely support judicial reform. They began to believe that judicial reform was the real solution for the Song Dynasty and should be based on this.

At the same time, many people believed that judicial reform was more terrifying than the New Deal, so they began to turn to the New Deal.

The priorities are starting to become a little blurry.

Conflicts will inevitably occur.

Last year, everyone still cooperated more than competed. Now Wang Anshi is demanding the implementation of the Young Crops Law on Tokyo East Road. Although this is the established plan to establish the Ordinance Department of the second government, it is an accident of Hezhong Prefecture. But at this moment, Wang Anshi is so

Doing it, in everyone's eyes, is a kind of competition.

Some conservatives believe that the New Deal cannot work without the Public Security Bureau and the Law. They are too lazy to oppose Wang Anshi now because they now have their own sustenance and fully support the Public Security Law.

But the reformists believe that the Public Security Bureau and the Law are based on the financial foundation of my New Deal. Without my new law, you would not be able to build the Public Security Bureau and the Law.

Based on these points of view, it is foreseeable that the two will definitely compete more than cooperate this year.

...

Hezhongfu.

"Bachelor Yuan, what did you say?"

He Chunlin jumped up from his chair, "Let... let businessmen supervise our salt debts and salt banknotes?"

All the officials, including Cai Yanqing, also looked at Yuan Jiang in surprise.

This is really a strange news.

Let businessmen supervise the government. Are you sure you are not talking in your sleep?

Yuan Jiang explained: "It's not supervision, this is just ordinary business cooperation. We can check their accounts, and they can also check ours."

Wei Yingfang said: "That won't work either. We are officials and they are citizens. It is natural for us to investigate theirs. But if we let him investigate ours, that will make the magnanimous people laugh."

Cai Yanqing also asked in confusion: "Xueshi Yuan, why did you agree to them?"

Yuan Jiang said: "I do it entirely out of financial considerations. If we are willing to let businessmen supervise, then businessmen will be willing to accept salt debts as collateral, which will make our salt bonds sell better and be more trustworthy."

Cai Yanqing nodded: "That's it."

Wei Yingfang said: "So, those businessmen don't trust our salt debt?"

As he spoke, he said angrily: "Don't they believe in the public prosecutor's office?"

Yuan Jiang said: "These are two different things. The reason why I am willing to trade with businessmen has nothing to do with the public security organs. It is entirely because doing so is beneficial to the finances.

We don’t plan to use the salt bonds and salt banknotes just once. They will be issued every year thereafter. If Jiekupu accepts it, we can borrow the salt bonds directly from Jiekupu. Then everyone will have no worries when buying salt bonds.

.

As for the issue of face, I think the procuratorate will be even more embarrassed."

Wei Yingfang asked: "How can Bachelor Yuan say this?"

Yuan Jiang chuckled: "I want to take this opportunity to tell the procuratorate that as long as our government is willing, anyone can investigate. It is not just the exclusive power of their procuratorate. Moreover, the good sale of salt bonds is not the credit of their procuratorate.

"

As soon as these words came out, the officials present nodded slightly.

Anyway, the procuratorate is coming to investigate, so it doesn’t matter if the businessmen come to investigate. Besides, they all know in their hearts that once the salt debts are accepted by Jiekupu, the salt debts will definitely sell better. Once the finances are raised, it will all belong to them.

their political achievements, and they thought that it would be better to issue salt bonds to improve finances than to force them to pay taxes!

Yuan Jiang added: "In addition, the Taxation Department asked us whether salt debts and salt banknotes are trustworthy?"

He Chunlin said: "Why do they ask this?"

Yuan Jiang said: "Because someone asked the Taxation Department whether salt bonds or salt banknotes can be used to pay taxes."

Everyone was silent.

Yuan Jiang asked: "Why don't you say anything?"

Everyone looked at Yuan Jiang eagerly again.

say what?

Aren’t these salt banknotes and salt bonds tools for making money?

If everyone can use these to pay taxes, wouldn't this be a return to trouble?

But they can't object. If they object, it's not to tell others that this salt debt and salt banknotes are not trustworthy, so who will use them.

The tax department is so disgusting from head to toe, including every question asked.

Sooner or later, they will finish playing.

Their plan was indeed meticulous. Cai Yanqing silently praised this in his heart, and then stood up to smooth things over, "Didn't Bachelor Yuan just say that salt debts and salt banknotes are not one-time transactions? In this case, of course the people can use them to pay

Tax."

Having said this, he paused for a moment and continued: "The proliferation of salt banknotes in the past few years was not entirely due to the government issuing salt banknotes indiscriminately. Another reason was that the people were hoarding salt banknotes in large quantities without replacing the salt. If

Being able to use salt debts and salt banknotes to pay taxes can also provide the government with a channel to recover salt debts and salt banknotes."

Yuan Jiang smiled and nodded and said: "Prefect Cai has the same idea as me. In addition, if you use salt debt to pay taxes, it does not count as interest. We will earn whatever salt debt is recovered from taxes."

Wei Yingfang said: "Bachelor Yuan and Prefect Cai, I think we should see how they investigate first. After all, many of the accounts of our government need to be kept secret, especially the Hezhong Prefecture, which also involves military secrets."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yuan Jiang nodded, "Then follow the words of Wei Tongpan."

He Chunlin suddenly asked: "That's right! Why is the Han Temple thing still in the future?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized why the Han Temple incident hadn't happened yet. They should have started last year.

A hint of guilt flashed in Yuan Jiang's eyes, and she said: "I don't know much about this, I haven't received the news."

How could they have imagined that Han Jiang was currently enjoying flowers with his friends in Luoyang. He would not come until the boat in Hezhong Mansion was completed. It was impossible for him to really come and overturn the imperial court's judgment. Wang Anshi asked him to come here just to give these things.

Officials have an expectation to prevent them from fighting to the end with the public prosecutor and the judiciary.

But Wang Anshi may regret doing so now.

...

Imperial Court.

"Zhang San, I heard that there is a letter from dad."

Xu Zhiqian opened the door and asked excitedly.

Zhang Fei nodded.

Xu Zhiqian said: "What did dad say in the letter?"

Zhang Fei said: "My father-in-law said that he is in good health, and more young officials have joined their procuratorate, advocating the rule of law."

With that said, he handed the letter in his hand to Xu Zhiqian.

"This is a good thing!"

Xu Zhiqian hurriedly took the letter, and then read it carefully. When she saw Xu Zun saying in the letter that more and more young officials were joining the public security organs and advocating the rule of law, the joy immediately appeared on the paper, but

Seeing the end, she couldn't help but frown slightly, "Scholar Wang may soon implement the Green Seed Law on Tokyo East Road."

Xu Zun rarely wrote to Zhang Fei unless there was a particularly important letter. However, the implementation of the new law was closely related to the Public Security Bureau. Xu Zun learned that Wang Anshi might implement the new law on Tokyo East Road as soon as possible. This was a signal to part ways, and he immediately

Just send a letter to Zhang Fei.

Xu Zhiqian secretly glanced at Zhang Fei and saw that Zhang Fei was just playing with the tea cup in his hand, and couldn't help but ask: "You... what do you think?"

Zhang Fei turned his head to look at her and said with a smile: "Actually, from the beginning to the end, Academician Wang had no intention of cooperating. When I came to Hezhong Mansion, it seemed to Academician Wang that it was us who cooperated with them."

Xu Zhiqian said: "But so far, it seems that the new law's cooperation with the public prosecutors and prosecutors is very successful."

Zhang Fei said: "When we were in the capital, the cooperation between the two laws also led to the great success of the exemption law. However, Academician Wang does not feel that this is the success of the new law. Maybe he feels the same now."

Xu Zhiqian asked again: "If the new law is separated from the Public Security Bureau, will it be successful?"

Zhang Fei pondered for a while and said: "It depends on how Bachelor Wang will operate, but I guess there will always be some problems."
