To be honest, Zhang Fei spent more time in the capital than he did in Hezhong Mansion. It was also in the capital that he first proposed the concept of legal system, but the people in the capital did not have such feelings for Zhang Fei.

This is all determined by interests.

Although the Public Security Bureau has brought many benefits to the people of the capital, it cannot pull them out of dire straits in a short period of time.

People in the capital saw Zhang Fei slowly growing from a small boy to a judge and prosecutor. In the minds of many people, Zhang Fei was fighting for his own future.

But for the people of Hezhong Prefecture, Zhang Fei is their chief judge, because Zhang Fei's arrival has completely changed their lives and pulled them out of dire straits. No one can replace this position, even if Su

Zhe performed very well.

Faced with the shouts of the villagers, Zhang Fei also came to the door in a very friendly manner and wanted to chat with them about how they have been in recent years.

But the villagers are full of gossip.

Chief Justice, why don’t you grow a beard?

Chief Justice, isn't your wife here?

Chief Justice, I heard that you were not promoted after returning to Beijing, is that right?

Chief Justice, were you the one who wrote the provisional law?

...

Even the eloquent Zhang Fei didn't know how to answer these questions.

But he was very happy in his heart.

This proves that everyone is living a good life, because no one comes to him to complain.

In fact, how can it not be bitter? After all, Zhang Fei brought clear governance to Hezhong Prefecture, rather than increasing productivity and making wealth more real. However, compared with before, the people of Hezhong Prefecture are already very satisfied with the current situation.

From an ancient perspective, this was an unparalleled period of peace and prosperity.

It was not until noon that Zhang Fei returned to the house. Cai Bian had already asked people to prepare a luncheon to greet Zhang Fei. Of course, Su Che also stayed to keep him company, but mainly because his conversation with Zhang Fei was not over yet.

"I heard that the Legislative Council stipulated that the amount of tax coins issued cannot exceed the imperial court's reserve of copper and silk." Su Che suddenly asked Zhang Fei.

Cai Bian glanced at Su Che and thought to himself, Prosecutor Su is really persistent!

Although the private salt saved the government's life last time, in Su Zhe's view, this was a lesson and he could not continue like this.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Prosecutor Su is referring to the salt banknotes, right?"

Su Zhe nodded and said: "There is currently no law stipulating the circulation of salt banknotes. It is decided by the government and Jiekupu through consultation, but facts have proven that they may work together."

Zhang Fei said: "It won't be long before the tax currency will break the constraints of the Legislative Council, and it will be decided by the Third Bureau and Jiekupu. Before I came, the three major Jiekupu had just borrowed money from the Third Bureau in order to meet the needs of the people.

I lost a million dollars."

Cai Bian was surprised and said: "Jiekupu borrowed one million guan from Sansi?"

Zhang Fei nodded.

Su Che found it even more incredible, "Didn't the Legislative Council take care of it?"

Zhang Fei said: "Jiekupu has collateral."

Su Che frowned and said, "But if we continue like this, won't there be any problems?"

"If you send too much, there will definitely be problems." Zhang Fei said.

Su Zhe waited patiently for the next chapter.

Zhang Fei further explained: "But the current financial requirements of the imperial court are to save unnecessary losses and stimulate the growth of wealth, so as to enrich the country and the people. Facts have proved that paper money can benefit the people and the imperial court. You should do this

I feel it too.”

Cai Bian nodded.

He actually supported this policy, but Su Che always had deep doubts about it. He thought it should be settled as soon as possible.

Zhang Fei said to Su Zhe again: "Of course, what Prosecutor Su is worried about is very right, and there is no problem. So this is not complicated, it is just two choices. Do you want to get more, or do you want to live a happy life?"

More stable."

Su Zhe said: "Isn't the latter a better choice? Paper money only solves the loss during the transaction process and makes it easier to detect corrupt officials, rather than truly increasing wealth."

Zhang Fei said: "In the past, people could only raise two or three chickens at home, but now they can raise four, five, seven or eight chickens just because they have extra money. Is this considered an increase in wealth?"

Su Zhe said: "This is just insignificant."

Zhang Fei said: "In a few years, there may be dozens or hundreds. Businessmen and landlords can use money to make money. In fact, ordinary people can too, but the prerequisite is to make them have something to spare."

"Anything left?"

Cai Bian thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "The teacher is right, in the market outside, many people are slowly becoming richer like this."

Su Che was also silent in thought.

Zhang Fei said: "Anyway, the current policy of the imperial court is to make the country rich and the people rich. This is not a bad idea. We should not deny this idea, but should give efforts and support.

If we do not choose this path, then the next choice will never be what Prosecutor General Su thinks. It will definitely be to make the country rich and the people poor.

Just like it has been throughout the ages.”

Su Zhe's eyes widened after hearing this, and he pondered for a long time. Suddenly he felt enlightened and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You are right, even if you don't do this, it will never be what I think it is."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Believe in salt banknotes, recognize salt banknotes, and work hard to make it better, because salt banknotes can indeed make the country and its people better, and without salt banknotes, it will not become worse."

That’s all, not that it won’t get bad.”

Su Che chuckled and said, "The Chief Justice is still so good at persuading others."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It's not that I'm good at persuading others, but I know that running a country is like sailing against the current. If we don't advance, we will retreat. From the beginning to the end, there is a cliff behind us."

Su Zhe nodded slightly and asked: "What's the position of the public security organs, procuratorates, and law among them?"

Zhang Fei pondered for a while, "I think the most accurate answer is everything that Prosecutor General Su has done in the past few years."

Su Che was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, cupped his hands and said, "Shame on you! Su Che can't bear it."

...

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Not long after lunch, Su Che left. As soon as he left, Yuan Jiang and Cai Yanqing rushed here. Cai Bian was also very sensible.

's left.

Like Su Che, when they saw Zhang Fei, they also complained in various ways.

"I never thought that I would miss you so much after you left. Su Ziyou's wooden head really pissed me off."

No comparison means no harm.

Yuan Jiang initially thought that the cooperation with Zhang Fei was a good start, but little did he know that it would be the pinnacle of cooperation and that he and Su Che would not be able to talk to each other at all.

Since then, no very sophisticated policy has been issued.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "If you two were on good terms with Prosecutor General Su and discussed everything, believe me, Hezhong Mansion would definitely not be as good as it is now. It's like if someone is chasing you with a knife, you will run faster than usual.

quick."

Cai Yanqing stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The president of the court is still so funny."

Yuan Jiang sighed: "But it's also more tiring!"

Zhang Fei said: "But if you can see the people living and working in peace and contentment, you won't feel tired no matter how tired you are!"

"We are not as noble as you said." Yuan Jiang waved her hands modestly, but then added: "But this seems to be coming to an end. After several years of rapid growth, tax revenue only increased by 10% last year."

It’s hard to go from luxury to frugality!

In the past few years, Hezhong Prefecture's finances were at the forefront, and they doubled in the first two years. However, this was all caused by the Qingming Administration and the Taxation Department, rather than breaking through the bottleneck.

Now that all the elites in the tax department have left, it has been proven that not many people dare to evade taxes. At this time, fiscal growth is slow and basically saturated.

Yuan Jiang and the others felt very disappointed.

Zhang Fei said: "Coal and iron."

Yuan Jiang asked in surprise: "What do you mean by this?"

Zhang Fei said: "With the development of industry and commerce, the demand for coal and iron will increase day by day. As far as I know, our Hezhong Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture are rich in coal and iron. As long as we find a way, we can mine it quickly and develop

With the smelting technology, the finance here will soon break through the bottleneck and reach a higher level."

Cai Yanqing frowned and said, "But how easy is it?"

Issuing salt banknotes and salt debts can bring in a lot of money, but if you want to develop coal and iron, it will take years and months of the monkey.

Zhang Fei said: "We don't need to use our brains. Businessmen will figure out a way on their own. If they want to make more money, they must develop technology in this area. The government can introduce policies to rectify local coal and iron and cooperate with businessmen in mining.

"

In fact, the demand for coal in the Song Dynasty was very large. In the past, the ground heating in Gyeonggi basically relied on coal. Nowadays, with the development of industry and commerce, coupled with the development of firearms, this is an extremely promising industry, and Hezhong Prefecture happens to have coal.

Iron is still relatively abundant. Seizing this point is tantamount to seizing the future.

This is also the purpose of Zhang Fei coming here. He did not come to Hezhong Mansion to inspect the Public Security Bureau.

...

The next day.
