economy!

economy!

It’s still a TMD economy!

The fundamental contradiction of the Song Dynasty was finance. There was nothing else. As long as finance was done well, it would be easy to talk about any issue other than fairness and justice. This is why, when the Public Security Bureau first came out, neither Wang Anshi nor Sima Guang

Regardless of the system itself, including Fu Bi and others, they only regard the public prosecution and law as a tool for political struggle.

Later, with the prosperity of Tokyo's commerce, the stability of Hezhong Prefecture, and the increase in fiscal revenue, many of them felt that this might be the way out for the future, and then they began to pay attention to the public security law.

But they attach great importance to the public security system and the pursuit of improving finances.

In fact, every official knows very well that the outcome of this struggle does not lie in how many cases the two sides handled fairly and fairly within a year, but in finance. Whoever can reduce the burden on the central finance will be the final winner.

It's that simple.

Zhao Xu trusted Zhang Fei, not because of the public prosecutor, but because Qianlong should not use this plan.

Since the goal is very clear and very simple and crude, then work hard on it.

Therefore, the officials on Jingdong East Road loaned out all the young people's money at all costs to strive for maximum profits. This was all political achievement.

But if you usually do this, it will naturally cause complaints.

Those officials and big landowners are not so easy to talk to.

However, as early as when Bianliang was trialling the exemption law, Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing had already begun to plan for this, using the panic of Bianliang's powerful people to threaten officials in other areas.

If you don't support my new policy, the Department of Self-Declaration and Taxation will come to your door.

Although the exemption law was successful in Bianliang, Wang Anshi knew very well that if this continued, the New Deal would be completely subject to Sima Guang's judicial reforms.

However, Sima Guang and others carried out judicial reform just to oppose the New Deal.

Others did not know that he was going to implement the reform with someone who opposed it, but Wang Anshi was definitely not that stupid. He never thought of promoting the success of the Bianliang Military Service Exemption Law to the whole country.

But at the time, his threat theory was actually of limited effect.

Because many people believe that it was you, Wang Anshi, who included us privileged people in the tax exemption. If you didn't include us, any declaration would have nothing to do with us. So you are the culprit. Do you have the nerve to accuse others?

At that time, the number of officials who opposed the new law was still increasing day by day.

However, with the implementation of the Public Security and Procuratorate Law in Hezhong Prefecture, local officials gradually realized that this judicial reform is the most terrifying thing. Once officials lose their judicial power, not to mention the power and money, even their lives are in question, and they may face the prosecutor's office at any time.

The prosecution, and their relationship, was completely unworkable.

Of course, the fact that they were able to learn about the situation in Hezhong Mansion so quickly was also the result of Lu Huiqing's efforts.

Comparing the two, the new method is really fragrant.

Because the judicial reform is to limit and divide the power of the government, and at the same time introduce a wave of new people to the field, Wang Anshi's judicial reform actually follows the Legalist line. In a sense, it is to strengthen the power of the government, but it will

It affected the interests of the gentry class.

To put it simply, judicial reform is a pure loss for officials, while the new law is just a trade-off between gains and losses for officials.

You must choose a new method.

Of course, these officials do not have the same firm political ideas as Fan Zhongyan and others. They used to be conservatives who defended their own rights and interests. Only on this basis will they consider the national interests.

However, people like Fan Cunren, Su Che, and Su Shi are all ambitious and have very firm political ideals. They would rather be constrained by judicial reform than compromise with the new law.

But this type of people is in the minority after all. Since most local officials support it, this green seedling law was implemented very quickly on Jingdong East Road.

Arrive in Dengzhou soon.

The situation in Dengzhou is similar to that of Jinan Prefecture. It first lends young crops money to the countryside. If the money lent is not much, the government will join forces with the gentry and landlords to share the young crop money.

After Fan Chunren learned about it, he immediately filed an appeal. This was different from the provisions of the Young Crops Law, but it was exactly what he expected.

However, there are no eggs.

It is impossible for the government to convict itself of violating the law. It directly states that this is an official order and your judiciary has no right to interfere.

In addition, those big landowners and squires are not completely forced. Although they are also a little depressed, they all nod their heads and agree. After all, the government only gives them two cents of profit, as long as they are released with two cents of profit. , as long as it’s not a loss.

This is better than coming to the tax department!

On the contrary, the situation in Hezhong Prefecture is quite different.

The arrival of Han Jiang did restore the prestige of the government, but it was just a peak that passed quickly, and the Green Crops Act directly changed to work-for-relief.

People who actually borrowed money from the collateral went to Ma's Jiakupu.

Compared with the government, everyone still prefers to cooperate with businessmen, at least everyone is equal in status.

This momentum is far less than that of Jingdong East Road, and it is still the same as usual, without causing too many waves, but everyone can clearly feel that the pace is getting faster, and everyone is eager to make money.

In particular, the government began to issue salt banknotes of small denominations to the outside world, further exacerbating this phenomenon.

The situation that businessmen and wealthy households had suppressed for many years finally began to break out under the protection of the public prosecutor and law.

In the past, most businessmen did not dare to make money so arrogantly. Unless you had connections, the government would definitely come to your doorstep. Those wealthy households were even more pitiful. In order to avoid the government officials, they not only sold their land, but also harmed themselves. , severing ties with father and son, etc.

After the Majia Jiekupu was launched, the land transactions surged rapidly.

Some people want capital for business, so they sell land; some people want to become landlords, so they buy land.

However, beneath this surface calm, there are hidden crises and more acute conflicts.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! These people are not stupid. They know very well that the Qingmiao Law is just a cover-up and is not worth mentioning at all. The real threat is always the Taxation Department. They I didn’t pay too much attention to the implementation of the Young Crops Law, but I was trying to find ways to avoid the tax department.

On the river, a small boat sailed slowly by, with two people sitting in the barn.

One of them said: "We in the tax department all live on bonuses. We have divided the areas long ago to avoid being investigated together. No one wants to split their bonuses in half."

Another person said: "So my husband's land is all within your survey area?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure no one else is going to investigate my fields?"

"Won't!"

"Very good! Here are 100 guan and two land deeds of 100 acres. When the time comes, you can take these two land deeds to hand over the contract. After the transaction is completed, we will give you another 100 guan."

"Thank you! Thank you very much! Don't worry, I will take care of this."

.......

Pinglu County.

Two convoys met on a narrow mountain road.

"Brother Hu, why did you arrange to do business here? Our legitimate business turned into a bandit business."

"Oh...why else? Isn't it just to avoid the tax department?"

"I've heard about it too, but it's okay if we don't sign a contract. Our two families are so familiar with each other, so there's no need to sign a contract. We won't come to this barren mountain to trade."

"I heard that the tax department is mysterious and ruthless, so we should be more careful this year."

"Okay! According to your request, it will all be money."

"It's hard work, because the amount of money is small and easy to hide."

"Is this tax department really that powerful? Are they aware of the transactions hidden in the mountains?"

"The new official has three things to do when he takes office, but no one wants to pay so much tax, and no one wants to be the first person. Alas... be careful and sail the boat for thousands of years!"

"That's true. In two years' time, the tax department's methods will probably be clear, and then we can prescribe the right medicine."

...

During the crazy show of operations by the Hezhong Prefecture, the Imperial Court kept a relatively low profile. However, many operations of the Imperial Court in the middle also deeply confused the people. Therefore, after the peak of the wave passed, the Imperial Court, jointly with the Procuratorate and the Police Department, held a

Hezhong Prefecture’s First Public Security Bureau Question and Answer Session.

It is held in the main courtyard.

In the morning, the sun is shining brightly, and the area around the imperial court is now lush and green, with birds chirping and flowers fragrant.

There are huge crowds of people inside and outside the courtyard.

Not only the common people, but also all the officials and landowners came. Although Han Jiang stabilized the authority of the government, the public security, prosecution and law were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and their every move was still related to everyone's interests.

Han Jiang did not say to ignore the Public Security Bureau, he just wanted to use the government's advantages to suppress the Public Security Law.

Today he also arrived in person and was quickly surrounded by officials.

Lu Gongru put his hands into his sleeves and asked the officials around him: "What is the meaning of this question and answer session?"

Cai Yanqing replied: "It is said that it is to answer some questions raised by the people."

Lu Gongru was curious again: "But why did he do this?"

Cai Yanqing shook his head, "I don't know much about that either."

He Chunlin hummed softly: "President Zhang loves to sensationalize and confuse the people. They relied on slandering the government to demonstrate their fairness and justice and deceive the people's trust."

Wei Yingfang and the others also nodded.

Han Jiang frowned and said, "Won't you do this?"
