If issuing banknotes can’t solve the problem, what else can we do, of course layoffs!

This is definitely not a joke.

Because the imperial court really has debt restructuring, if the disaster is too serious, it can only lay off officials and reduce expenditures.

Some of the officials sitting there couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Of course, there were also many conservative officials who cast disdainful glances at Xue Xiang.

This is our philosophy, Xue Xiang, do you have the nerve to say it?

In other words, the end of this increase in revenue is expenditure reduction.

This is truly a closed loop!

And this meeting ends here.

Fu Bi said that they still need to study the evidence handed over by Xue Xiang. After all, today's hearing touched on their blind spot.

And these evidences will play a decisive role. If you don't understand the principles behind this, you won't know how to ask questions.

The officials all shook their heads and left with sad faces.

After these two hearings, they felt unfamiliar and out of control.

There is a feeling of being powerless.

In comparison, Zhao Xu looked relaxed and was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he asked Zhang Fei: "How do you think they will oppose these two bills?"

Zhang Fei pondered for a while and said: "As for the warehouse tax, they must have directly stated that it is unfair to the landlords. After all, landlords have been collecting grain since ancient times. Moreover, they will also criticize the tax department for using this method to

Exploiting the landowners' food. As for the tax bill, we should oppose it based on the shortcomings of Jiaozi."

Zhao Xu nodded and asked: "Then how do you think I should respond?"

Zhang Fei said: "I don't know about this. After all, they are not being reasonable."

"Ha ha!"

Zhao Xu laughed a few times and suddenly remembered something, "By the way! Regarding that kind of statistical method, you can give me some suggestions and tell him everything you know. Financial accounts must be done this way in the future. I don't want to be kept in the dark all the time."

Drum."

"yes."

After talking about this matter, Zhao Xu got up and went back to the palace.

Of course, Zhang Fei knew very well that Zhao Xu had changed from passive to active, and the next step was to seek revenge and complain!

He hummed a little tune and walked outside.

"Sometimes, sometimes, I believe that everything has an end, there is a time to get together and leave, and nothing lasts forever...!"

The singing stopped suddenly because there was a roadblock in front of me.

"Bachelor Sima."

Zhang Fei quickly stepped forward and bowed his hands.

Sima Guang said expressionlessly: "If you are not in a hurry, sit down for a while and then go back."

Zhang Fei nodded politely.

He followed Sima Guang to a rest room. As soon as he sat down, Sima Guang said in a strange tone: "Okay! Even the three envoys will worship you as their teacher."

Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said: "I knew that Bachelor Sima would misunderstand, but everything that happened today really has nothing to do with me. It was learned by the Third Commander himself."

Sima Guang snorted: "You think I will believe your nonsense, Xue Xiang is obviously imitating you."

"Ouch! Master Sima, please don't say that. It will ruin my reputation. The Third Secretary is really not very knowledgeable... Ahem... Cai Jing and the others are good."

Zhang Fei said very depressed.

Sima Guang asked confused: "What do you mean by this?"

Zhang Fei said: "If you are my apprentice, then... basically, there is no suspense. The Legislative Council must pass it by me."

"Hey...you are really not too petty!" Sima Guang said with great interest: "I would like to hear the details. What would happen if it were you?"

Zhang Feiyun said calmly: "It's actually very simple. You just need to talk about previous disaster relief cases, and there will basically be no suspense.

I have seen the government opening warehouses to provide disaster relief, but it was a complete mess. Even these people were rescued half to death. They had to wait in line for a long time and take a sip of porridge. Those who should have starved to death would still starve to death.

Otherwise, the imperial court would not have brought all the victims to the military camp. If it were me, I would first take various cases and criticize them all day long, and then give some guarantees to the tax currency bill. Would the Legislative Council give me some guarantees?

However, if we still use the traditional method of opening warehouses to provide relief, then as long as people starve to death, it will be a problem for the Legislative Council."

"...!"

The air seemed to freeze.

Sima Guang sat there blankly, without the aura of showing his teeth and claws just now.

After a while, Sima Guang coughed and said, "In other words, you also think that issuing tax coins is better than opening a warehouse for relief."

Zhang Fei frowned and said: "To be honest, I think tax coins are a double-edged sword. If used well, it is indeed 10,000 times better than opening a warehouse for relief. But if it is used too hard, the situation may be worse than it is now.

It's even worse, so I didn't talk too much. If it will definitely get better, then I will definitely tell Bachelor Wang, or I will do it myself."

"You think you have a general understanding of things."

Sima Guang nodded with great satisfaction. Zhang Fei's words touched his heart, and he said: "As long as they get a taste of the benefits, this tax coin will definitely cause endless troubles."

After that, he looked at Zhang Fei again, "That's why I came to you. How can I prevent this bill from being passed?"

With Sima Guang's character, it is absolutely impossible for him to support banknotes, because the risk is too great, and he knows human nature well. As long as he tastes the sweetness, he will continue to use it. Whether it is Sichuan businessmen or the government, they will use the facts

Proved this.

No matter who is issuing banknotes, they will inevitably issue them indiscriminately.

But to refute Xue Xiang, we must start from the evidence he submitted and find flaws in it. But Sima Guang didn't understand much, so he came to Zhang Fei for help.

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "Sister Sima, if I can really stop it, I have already found a way to stop it in Hezhong Mansion. Now that Hezhong Mansion has achieved great success, and there is still a drought at this time, it is even more impossible to stop it.

.”

Sima Guang said: "But you also said that the harm is endless. Doing so is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst."

Zhang Fei sighed and said: "Actually, when we were in Hezhong Mansion, Prosecutor General Su and I also weighed this point and whether we should try our best to stop it.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, we have considered that if the government is resolutely prohibited from issuing salt banknotes, the public security organs and the law will not be able to enforce it, because the government cannot afford to pay, but legally, it must pay.

So from this point of view, the government made a compromise for the public prosecutor and the law, so we finally chose to take a step back, and at the same time gave the procuratorate great supervisory powers to keep an eye on every aspect of the issuance of salt banknotes."

"it's useless."

Sima Guang waved his hand and said: "You can keep an eye on it for a while, but you can't keep an eye on it forever! If the three ministers use tax coins to help the country survive the drought, just wait and see. If there are any difficulties, they will issue banknotes, and the government and the opposition will

Up and down will gradually become luxurious."

Zhang Fei said: "Could it be that Academician Sima only regards the public security system as an emergency need rather than a long-term system?"

Sima Guang frowned when he heard this and sighed: "Of course I didn't think so, but judging from the facts, it is still unclear whether the Public Security Law can last forever. Nowadays, more and more people in the DPRK are aware of the constraints that the Public Security Law imposes on them. Those who oppose it

There are also more and more public prosecutors, but even if we return to the previous judicial system, the harm to the country will be far less than the harm caused by banknotes!"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "I don't think so. As long as the Public Security Bureau is there, even if a certain state or county is issuing banknotes indiscriminately, the Public Security Bureau can still let the court collect the banknotes, and the bleeding can be stopped in time.

Then again, if there is no public security law, can Bachelor Sima guarantee that banknotes can be stopped? Some states and counties still issue Jiaozi, and the local people do not have the public security law to protect their rights and interests."

Sima Guang showed a hesitant look on his face, "So your opinion is to find a way to limit it?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "The possibility of stopping this matter is extremely small. In view of what many people have done before, the officials will definitely support the passage of these two bills."

Sima Guang said in confusion: "Did the official tell you something just now?"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "Of course the officials will not reveal their feelings to me. They will just explain the rationale. However, the officials currently have no reason to oppose these two bills."

Sima Guang nodded slightly.

Zhang Fei continued: "Instead of doing this, it is better to find ways to supervise. In fact, the questions asked by the chief judge were very good. At least they forced the three envoys to state that the tax coins are only for temporary use. We should

Believe in the Public Security Bureau, because the Public Security Bureau was born to deal with such complex situations, and..."

Sima Guang glanced at him and asked, "And what?"

Zhang Fei said: "And I think this is also an opportunity for the Legislative Council to leave an impression on everyone that it is fair and impartial."

Sima Guang stroked his beard and began to think deeply.

...

Inside the carriage.

Wang Anshi glanced at Xue Xiang and asked with a smile: "Shi Zheng, the evidence you just submitted, were they prepared a long time ago, or were they rushed out last night? I heard that you stayed in the Third Division last night?"

Xue Xiang said truthfully: "Some of them were prepared long ago, and some were made temporarily last night."

"It's really a temporary preparation." Wang Anshi exclaimed: "Then your method of learning now and selling it is really eye-opening to me!"

Xue Xiang said modestly: "Actually, compared to Prosecutor Zhang, I still have some shortcomings. I watched Prosecutor Zhang give a deposition. He was able to connect many things together and put the other party in a dilemma, but I couldn't do it."

at this point."
