Chapter 557
"What is Mr. Su Xiao thinking?"
After leaving the transportation department, Zhang Fei couldn't help asking when he saw that Su Che was silent.
Su Zhe was slightly startled, turned his head to look at him, and said, "I was thinking, what you said just now was really harsh at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense."
As he spoke, he was thoughtful, "Actually, what we did was not too much, we just corrected their mistakes, but why is it so difficult."
Zhang Fei asked back: "Then what does Mr. Su Xiao think?"
Su Zhe pondered for a while, and said, "I think it's a responsibility. Everyone knows the problem, but everyone knows the stakes in it, so no one dares to take on this responsibility. We can only muddle along, make small repairs, and use our own Career comes first."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Before Wang Xueshi, you can say that."
Su Zhe laughed and said, "Scholar Wang didn't face the problem directly, but found another way."
Wang Anshi did play a roundabout way. To be honest, Sima Guang's throttling policy is indeed a solution to the root cause. It's not a matter of day and night, so can Zhao Xu talk to him?
Zhang Fei said: "Finding a new way is only a means to solve the problem."
Su Zhe said with a smile: "However, Xueshi Wang's methods are only beautiful in appearance. Let's talk about the Qingmiao Law. The government provides money and loans to the people, but even good people will inevitably use it indiscriminately. Those who repay the loan overdue , There must be many. State and county yamen have to spend manpower and material resources, demanding rent and debt, if they all act according to the law, the gain will not be worth the loss.”
The reason why he left the Regulations Department of the Second Mansion was because he insisted on the Youth Law and quarreled with Lu Huiqing every day. Wang Anshi also felt unhappy with him, but he was arranged by the emperor, otherwise, he would have been kicked out long ago.
Zhang Fei said: "I actually think that the reason why these problems cannot be solved is because everyone is criticizing, but no one stands up and finds a way to solve these problems."
Su Zhe couldn't hear his sarcasm, and refused to accept it: "The real solution is the constant level warehouse method, selling when it is expensive, buying when it is cheap, stabilizing prices, and helping the people in ordinary matters. Only in this way can the common people gain stability and effectively reduce the phenomenon of usury.
I mentioned to Xueshi Wang a few times that we should pay more attention to the Cangping method instead of replacing it with the young crop method, but he ignored it because his purpose was to make money for the country, not to serve the people sincerely. "
Zhang Fei said: "Wang Xueshi's request is to kill two birds with one stone."
Su Zhe glanced at him and did not argue with him. Anyway, he would never support it. Instead, he said: "But now it seems that judicial reform can solve the problem better. From this point of view, our public security law can supervise those Officials face the problem head-on, and those officials can use our public prosecution law to let go of their hands and do it without fear of taking unnecessary responsibilities, after all, these responsibilities can be shirked to us at that time."
In fact, he was transferred to the procuratorate at first, but it was just helpless, because he and Wang Anshi couldn't work together.
In his view, this is just a transition.
But after this incident, he found that judicial reform can solve Sima Guang's worries very well.
In fact, the imperial court does not lack capable ministers and officials, such as Fan Xiang and Xue Xiang. They are very capable, but the problem is that this affects the interests of too many people. They cannot bear the responsibility of this personnel, and they are impeached every day. Got it.
Now the Public Security Bureau can point out this problem and force the government to solve it. Competent officials don’t need to be afraid of being impeached. We are also being forced.
Now he is more and more interested in this job.
Although politics and law are separated, they can influence each other.
However, many officials have not yet grasped this level. In their opinion, this kind of behavior of the Public Security Bureau can only be described in one word.
Shameless!
It is true that standing and talking does not hurt your back, do you know how difficult it is?
Who doesn't know that arrears and deduction of military pay are not good, but if it is easy to solve, you will wait until you come to it, because it is not easy to solve!
You just point out the problem without offering a solution.
What is it if it is not shameless.
What's even more shameless is that Zhang Fei really meant that.
This is your responsibility, not mine. If you can't solve it, tell the court to find another person to solve it.
Having said that, Wang Shao and Guo Kui are definitely not willing.
I can't tell the emperor that I am incompetent, and I can't even meet the most basic requirements.
That being said, his official career must have come to an end here.
Then they have only one choice before them.
To solve the problem.
Wei Fu.
"what?"
Liang Youyi opened his eyes angrily, "You put your hot face on other people's cold butts, and you are disgusted by others, so how can you bear it?"
He had been living for the rest of his life long ago, this time Zhang Fei was so angry that he couldn't sleep for several nights, he regarded it as a great shame and humiliation.
But he still didn't dare to run to fight Zhang Fei by himself, and he also wanted to fight behind his back.
But now he heard that the government intends to cooperate with the imperial court, but was ridiculed by Zhang Fei again, and almost passed out.
Revenge is nowhere in sight!
He Chunlin worried: "Even Wang Jinglue and the others have nothing to do with that kid?"
Wei Yingfang waved his hands and said, "Calm down, all of you, we had far underestimated the imperial court's support for the public prosecutor's law. The disarmament issue has been going on for more than ten years, but there is still no movement. Then the procuratorate submitted a memorial, and the imperial court immediately decided to disarm.
If we go on such a rampage again, we may really be caught by the imperial court and put in jail. "
After Wang Shao's reprimand, they also realized the power of the public security law.
Liang Youyi's old face turned red, "Should we just let a yellow-mouthed kid bully us?"
Wei Yingfang said: "Let's have a look again, but we must not think too much about this matter, now we have to get things done first, otherwise, the imperial court will only blame us for our incompetence, not Zhang San and Su Ziyou."
Speaking of this, he sighed, "We should never, never should, threaten the public security with illegal things, this is their authority, alas, this is really sent to the door to be slaughtered!"
Cao Yi, who has always advocated confrontation with the imperial court, felt a little scared at this time, "I am more angry than everyone, but at this moment, we must judge the situation. If we continue to fight, we must be the ones who will be hurt."
This time it really scared them.
They had already lowered their status and invited Zhang Fei to come over for a discussion. Moreover, the meeting was chaired by Wang Shao and Guo Kui. As a result, Zhang Fei gave out a meal indiscriminately, which made them lose face.
If you still can't see the situation clearly, aren't you stupid?
If you want to disarm this time, if you screw it up, let's see who dies.
The key point is that Wang Shao and Guo Kui will not go crazy with them. They have made great progress in the officialdom, and they will not take their official career to gamble with the public prosecutor.
Just at this time, a knife and pen official came into the house and handed a notice to Wei Yingfang.
When Wei Yingfang saw it, he couldn't help being surprised, "They are going to come for real!"
"What's the truth?" Tang Zhongwen was like a frightened bird.
Wei Yingfang said: "The imperial court has just issued a notice to improve the lending regulations."
"So fast?"
Everyone got up excitedly and gathered around.
You must know that many of the people sitting here are big landlords of the Hezhong Mansion. The reason why they are sitting here now is because they heard that the imperial court wants to improve the lending regulations.
Generally speaking, the imperial court did not change the regulations of the "Song Xingtong".
It just unifies some previous conflict regulations and edicts.
For example, in the Miscellaneous Orders of the "Song Xingtong", it is stipulated that "all public and private individuals who raise property with property will be allowed to rely on private contracts, and officials will ignore it. The monthly profit shall not exceed six cents, and although there are many accumulated days, it shall not exceed Double."
That is, the interest rate of 70.00% per year, no matter how long it takes, it cannot exceed double.
But later both Zhenzong and Renzong issued edicts, with four and five points.
This time the imperial court set a five-point profit.
He also quoted an imperial decree promulgated during the Zhenzong period, "The people bear interest money, and there is no way to force their land, cattle and livestock to pay for it."
We cannot use interest money to seize the farmer's fields and cattle.
In addition, improve the "Song Xingtong" debt collection regulations, and make sure that creditors are strictly prohibited from taking the debtor's property without permission and using their own bodies as substitutes.
At this point, the official is the reason.
In the face of non-repayment, the court must be resolved, and the imperial court has the responsibility to demand legal interest for the creditor.
In addition, the guarantee law remains unchanged, but it is not allowed to force others to guarantee or force others to borrow money.
None of this matters.
They all know the regulations.
The most critical thing is one of the regulations and one principle of lending.
The regulations are that the interest must be calculated according to the current market price of the loaned item, and no matter what is repaid, it must be calculated according to this price.
As for the latter principle, it is the principle of consistency between government and private affairs.
Before you owed the government and owed private individuals, the punishment regulations were different.
If you owe it to the government, it may be confiscated directly, but if you owe it to a private person, the government will punish you with moss.
However, those owed to the government may be directly confiscated, and may even be imprisoned.
It's exactly the same now.
This drove those big gentry mad.
Can't compromise!
We must do it!
The only way for landlords to develop is through land mergers, and the most common way is through lending.
Although these regulations existed in the past, from the current point of view, the imperial court is really good at arresting people, and it is unlikely that they will turn a blind eye or close one eye.
Aren't you blocking our path of development?
"Sure enough."
Guo Xiaofa stroked his beard suddenly and said.
Wei Yingfang asked, "Why did Guo Tixing say that?"
Guo Xiaofa said: "Have you ever heard of the Green Crop Law that Wang Jiefu will promulgate?"
Some people nodded.
But there are also some people who don't know why.
Cao Yi immediately explained to them.
Guo Xiaofa added: "It is rumored that many ministers in the court support the Public Prosecution Law, hoping that the Public Prosecution Law can fight against the Young Crop Law. Now it seems that this is indeed the case!"
"No."
He Chunlin wondered: "It looks like it to me. The Public Prosecution Law is laying the foundation for the Young Crop Law."
Guo Xiaofa said: "That's not important, the consistency between public and private is the most important thing. In other words, the government must not force them to guarantee or borrow money, nor can it confiscate people's property at will. The purpose of Wang Jiefu's reform is to collect money for the country. Under such regulations, can the young crop law still make money?"
When Cao Yi heard the words, he had an idea: "In this case, why don't we add fire."
Wei Yingfang asked, "How do you add it?"
Cao Yidao: "We lend at a lower interest rate. Anyway, public and private are the same. As long as we don't violate the law, we can lead the conflict to the imperial court and ask Wang Jiefu to go to the imperial court for accountability."
A gentry snorted: "You said it lightly. Is there no risk in lending money? Do you think it is easy to collect debts? Who is willing to lend such a low interest rate?"
The monthly interest of the young crop method is two cents, and the annual interest is 20.00% four cents. They are now lending, and the minimum is double.
The gap is too big.
But Cao Yi said: "We dare not let go, and neither do the government. Our low interest rate is only released for those who can repay. As long as the government makes trouble for us, then we will go to the imperial court to appeal. If Wang Jiefu reforms If it fails, he will definitely not spare Zhang San."
Wei Yingfang nodded frequently, and said: "I think this method is feasible. We can't use illegal things to fight with the imperial court, but this matter is absolutely legal, so we don't need to be afraid. Let them fight and wait until they both lose , and then we will have the final say.”
