Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 661

What Sima Guang said accurately stated the purpose of the conservatives, which is to follow the rules, follow the tradition, and use time-tested and outdated methods.

For example, rest and recuperate, and lightly pay and pay less.

In the eyes of conservatives, national strength can only rely on savings rather than development. The Wenjing rule is the most typical case.

No one can say that this is wrong. It is politically correct. No emperor is stupid enough to say that he will impose exorbitant taxes, but he feels that it is a bit clichéd and bland.

Although conservatives are now united under the banner of judicial reform, it is only because judicial reform is actually relatively conservative, because the public security law is only to defend the existing laws, to enforce the law impartially, to be fair and just, and to safeguard the interests of the people. This does not conflict with the purpose of conservatives, and it is very consistent.

Therefore, conservatives believe that judicial reform is the way out for the country.

Before coming to the Northern Song Dynasty, looking through the history books, Zhang Fei often sighed with emotion. Counseling is just a word, and he despises Sima Guang's thinking to some extent. When people expand their territories, you are also chattering on the sidelines. How annoying. ah.

But when he came to the Northern Song Dynasty, he understood Sima Guang's conservative thinking more.

Staying outside, anyone can talk and laugh happily, but who can be calm and calm when in the midst of it.

When you just watch from a distance, everyone is Wang Anshi, but when you sit on that chair, you will most likely become Sima Guang.

This also shows Wang Anshi's courage and determination, and how difficult it is for him.

Assuming that Zhang Fei was left to decide whether to fight or not, at least at this moment, Zhang Fei would still be on Sima Guang's side.

If the burden is so heavy and we have to go to war, there will definitely be financial problems. At that time, we may not care about the system and laws and work hard to make money.

If we can really destroy Xixia in one breath, we can actually do it once and for all.

The key point is that the Song Dynasty is always in a situation of fighting on two fronts. The Khitan people over there are not stupid. It is impossible for them to allow the Song Dynasty to destroy Xixia. Moreover, the Song Dynasty is not afraid of Xixia, but it is afraid of Liao, including Zhao. Xu inside.

This requires a grand strategy, and there must be no rush.

But it doesn't mean that Zhang Fei is opposed to recovering the Xihe area.

A great victory at Xihe would make Xixia vulnerable to enemies from both sides. As long as Xihe could be stabilized and that area controlled, strategically speaking, the Song Dynasty would have the upper hand on the western front.

Now the question is how to control that area.

Zhang Fei believes that no matter how we deal with this matter, we must try to reduce internal friction, otherwise, we will get twice the result with half the effort.

By then, this area would be just as Sima Guang said. Not only would it not be able to provide the Song Dynasty with a strategic advantage, it would also consume the Song Dynasty's national power endlessly.

After talking with Sima Guang, he still had to talk to Wang Anshi, but he didn't plan to go to Wang Anshi, because Wang Anshi would definitely come to him.

"Stinky boy!"

Just as Zhang Fei was thinking about how to persuade Wang Anshi, he suddenly heard a cry.

Zhang Fei looked back, saw Cao Ping, and immediately stepped forward, "Zhang San has met the Chief Superintendent."

Cao Ping asked: "Why do the officials want you?"

Zhang Fei blinked, and said hesitantly, "It's about the great victory in the Northwest."

Cao Ping immediately asked: "You didn't ask Dong'er to go with you, did you?"

"no!"

Zhang Fei quickly shook his head.

Cao Ping still didn't quite believe it, "Really?"

Zhang Fei immediately raised his hand and said: "I can swear to God, in fact, the official family wanted to find Ya Nei, and I advised the official family to choose another person, because Ya Nei is still relatively impulsive and wants to add a pony beside him." , It is estimated that they will go to Xixia to enforce the law, that place is definitely not suitable for them, at least not for the time being."

Cao Ping breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhang Fei didn't seem to be lying. He was very worried. Zhang Fei took Cao Dongdong with him again. That place was ten thousand times more dangerous than Hezhong Mansion, and no one would care about him. Cao Yanei laughed. Said: "It seems that you know Dong'er relatively well."

Zhang Fei hehe said: "If the chief superintendent is talking about it, he's a bit of a brother...cough cough, not to mention the friendship between Ya Nei and me, just because Ya Nei is my big client, I can't let him take risks. "

Cao Ping nodded in relief, and asked again: "Who is the official planning to send?"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "I'm not quite sure about this, Chief Superintendent, you know that the arrangements for the police station have always been decided by the officials themselves."

Cao Ping nodded slightly, seeming to be thinking about who Zhao Xu would send.

But he never dreamed that Zhang Fei recommended him to go.

Zhang Fei was worried about what he was thinking, and asked in a low voice: "Chief Superintendent, what do you think of the Xihe battle?"

Cao Ping was taken aback, and asked back, "Do you know how to fight?"

Zhang Fei shook his head: "I don't understand."

"I don't understand. Why are you asking? I still have some official business to deal with."

After finishing speaking, Cao Ping left.

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, "If I understand, I'll ask you. Really."

However, he also knows that Cao Ping, as a foreign relative, has always kept his distance from the dispute between the two factions. Zhang Fei has been back for so long, and he has never come to look for him. He asked about Cao Dongdong's situation because he knew that Zhang Fei was currently in a state. In the battle of the vortex.

The main reason is that the Empress Dowager Cao has not yet expressed her attitude.

The harem is powerful, but it has seldom spoken out in recent years. On the one hand, the emperor has come to power, and the harem must return to its position.

On the other hand, the elderly Empress Dowager Cao was also worried that if she continued to intervene, it would provide Empress Dowager Gao with an excuse to interfere in politics in the future. After all, she would definitely not survive Empress Dowager Gao.

Queen Mother Gao also knew in her heart that she did not dare to speak out easily.

The harem is also under observation, and at critical moments, it will be balanced again.

When I got home, there was no surprise. Wang Anshi had been sitting inside waiting for a long time.

Even Xu Zun found an excuse to avoid it.

Seeing Zhang Fei, Wang Anshi also cut straight to the point, but Zhang Fei told him that he temporarily refused.

"You didn't agree?"

When Wang Anshi heard that Zhang Fei refused to go, he stood up excitedly and asked excitedly, "Why didn't you agree?"

Zhang Fei explained: "Because it has just been recovered, it is a mess, it can be said that it started from scratch, and those chiefs have 10,000+ soldiers and horses, I am not sure, so I suggest that the officials send people first Go to explore and understand the local situation, if necessary, I will go there again."

Wang Anshi said eagerly: "You don't understand Wang Shao's intention at all. If you just want to build a public security law, do you think he will name you and let you go in person?"

Zhang Fei asked: "Why is that?"

Wang Anshi said: "Of course it is because you value your financial management methods. Over there, the taxes cannot be collected for the time being, and the war can't be supported by the war. As a result, the military expenditure is very tight now, and it depends entirely on the taxes and taxes of the Northwest Region. But this is not a long-term solution. , Wang Shao asked you to go because of your political achievements in Hezhong Mansion, and I also think that you are the only suitable candidate.

Your attainments in law and your business skills and foresight are all urgently needed there. I plan to ask you this time, whether to let Yuan Houzhi cooperate with you in the past, or let Han Zihua cooperate with you. , You actually told me that you refused. "

It is no exaggeration to say that when Wang Shao's memorial came to the capital, he immediately thought of Zhang Fei.

A perfect fit, the judiciary can manage the local area, and Zhang Fei's financial management skills can also create wealth. These are the talents most needed in the land of Xihe.

Zhang Fei was very confused: "I just refused to go there immediately. Instead, I sent someone to explore the way first. Once I understand the specific local conditions, I will go there before it is too late. If I go there rashly, I may lose more than the gain."

Wang Anshi said: "But we can't wait over there."

Zhang Fei said: "It's not that serious."

Wang Anshi struggled for a while, then sighed: "Speaking of which, I'm all to blame for this."

Zhang Fei said in surprise: "Why do you blame me?"

Wang Anshi said: "War must be supported by military expenditures. Xihe military expenditures naturally have to rely on Shaanxi Road's finances, but at present Shaanxi Road is controlled by the public security law. It is very difficult to increase military expenditures there. You have to go."

Although Wang Shao said on the surface that he would encourage trade to increase military expenditures, distant waters cannot save nearby fires, and even if it succeeds, it needs financial support from the Northwest before that.

But this must be faced with the Public Prosecution Law and the Taxation Department. Although the power of the court to increase taxes belongs to the administrative power, the emperor generally dare not increase taxes easily. The best way is Wang Anshi's New Deal, which is to collect money around the corner, and secondly, as before, to collect money through exorbitant taxes.

This was no problem before, but now if you want to do this on Shaanxi Road, you have to face the supervision of the public security law, and you can only directly increase taxes by decree from the imperial court.

The Public Prosecution Law of Hezhong Mansion was created by Zhang Fei alone, and the person who needs to tie the bell to untie the bell, Zhang Fei is the most suitable candidate.

Zhang Fei suddenly laughed.

Wang Anshi stared at him and said, "Is this funny?"

If you hadn't built the public security system so well, would I be so passive?

It is better to use the legalist method.

"No, no, forgive me, I don't mean this." Zhang Fei shook his head.

Wang Anshi said: "Then what are you referring to?"

Zhang Fei said: "Actually, Scholar Sima approached me before, and he had already figured that Scholar Wang would take this step, so he asked me to block you at this step, so as to do it and not increase taxes on the people in the northwest. Me!"

"This old man!"

Hearing this, Wang Anshi was furious, "The frontline soldiers are fighting bloody battles, yet he still wants to compete with me. Since ancient times, there is no treacherous official like this. I and the old thief Sima are incompatible."

Zhang Fei put down the wide sleeves that blocked the spittle, and said: "Scholar Wang, calm down, in fact, if I change this matter, I will do the same."

"What did you say?" Wang Anshi said excitedly.

Zhang Fei said: "As far as the matter is concerned, no one is fully sure about this matter. Even if I bring the public prosecutor, there is a risk of failure. Of course, Bachelor Sima is not willing to let the public prosecutor take this risk, and he is also worried that if something goes wrong, Wang Xueshi All responsibility will be shifted to the public prosecutor’s head.”

Wang Anshi glanced at him and suddenly calmed down, "Is this his worry or yours?"

Zhang Fei immediately said: "Of course it's his worry. I have to go now, it's just a matter of time, what's the use of my worrying."

Wang Anshi said: "Just go, don't pay attention to that old thief."

Zhang Fei wanted to cry but said without tears: "But without his support, this situation will only become more difficult."

His success is due to the support of both Wang Anshi and Sima Guang. At present, his basic base is on the conservative side.

This is why, in the eyes of many people, Zhang Fei's success in the Hezhong Mansion is simply a miracle, and the reason is that Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, and the emperor all supported him.

Zhao Xu only needs to deal with local forces.

Wang Anshi finally understood, "What conditions did he put forward?"

Zhang Fei said: "It's very simple. He said that Scholar Wang must accept their suggestion. Before the Xihe area is completely stabilized, he must ensure that he will not send troops to the outside world."

"He's dreaming!"

Wang Anshi snorted angrily: "Destroy Xixia and regain the old land. This is my Wang Anshi's proposal. There is no way I can agree to him."

Zhang Fei persuaded: "But he didn't deny this proposition, he just said that until the Xihe River is stabilized, we can no longer use troops abroad."

Wang Anshi said: "But the morale is high now, if we do this, it will only make our army lose fighting spirit."

Zhang Fei said: "Maintaining morale lies in being able to reward meritorious deeds in a timely manner, not in continuing to fight here and there."

Wang Anshi was taken aback, and asked, "So you agree?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Because I don't know now whether the Xihe military expenditure problem can be solved. If it can be solved, then the Xihe area will be stable soon, and the Zhengshitang can formulate the next plan. If it can't be solved, then Should we first think of ways to solve military expenditures before using troops abroad?"

Wang Anshi thought it made sense, and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Zhang Fei immediately informed Wang Anshi of his plan, first set up a major trading town, avoid those big chiefs, provide the soil for public security, and then radiate the surrounding area.

Wang Anshi said: "This is just to implement the public security law. How should the military expenditure issue be solved?"

Zhang Fei asked: "Can that place collect taxes now?"

Wang Anshi sighed: "If it could be collected, there would be no such thing."

Those great chiefs surrendered voluntarily, and it was fine without asking you for money, and they were taxed, so what is the meaning of their surrender, it must be the opposite.

Zhang Fei said: "Since we can't collect taxes, we can only rely on Wang Xueshi's financial management ideas. We can earn military expenses by promoting Chang Pingsi and Ma Jiajie Ku Pu."

Wang Anshi's expression immediately relaxed a bit. He felt comfortable hearing these words, and asked again: "How much can you earn from this?"

Zhang Fei said: "Everything."

"everything?"

Wang Anshi suddenly regained his spirits, "How to earn everything?"

Zhang Fei said: "In terms of sales, our army is the largest local customer, and the military's procurement will be the largest local order. We can rely on this to influence the situation in the entire Xihe River. At the same time, Tubo and Xixia are very As long as we can monopolize the products that our Song Dynasty needs, we will not only be able to earn huge profits, but we will also be the largest seller."

Wang Anshi questioned: "But why should we monopolize?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Didn't I say before that using the Ma's Jieku Shop to monopolize, as long as the military purchases through the Ma's Jieku Shop, the Ma's Jieku Shop will soon be able to monopolize.

At that time, whoever we buy will get rich, and whoever we sell to will get rich. As long as we grasp this point and establish a stable interest relationship with them, then we will be able to dominate them.

In addition, we can’t collect taxes anyway. Why don’t we announce that all taxes will be exempted for five or ten years, so that we can immediately gain a lot of popular support and reduce the burden on the local people, so they will definitely devote themselves to trade. Trade requires public security. , This is true for the Han people, and it is also true for the Tubo and Qiang people. At that time, the public security law can control the local area, and then slowly weaken those chiefs. After their power weakens, we can fully build the public security law and the tax department. "

Wang Anshi thought for a while, and said, "But this plan only applies to you. I can rest assured that you go there in person."

Zhang Fei said: "It is precisely because of this that I did not choose to go immediately, because if I go, if I fail, there is no room for relaxation. If they fail, I still have another chance. In addition, if I have a problem, Meng Zhi The hospital and the others will definitely give me all the responsibility, whether Bachelor Wang will save me or not when the time comes."

Wang Anshi frowned upon hearing this.

This is really a problem. Zhang Fei is going on behalf of the Public Procuratorate, and this opening represents the core interests of the Reformers. If there is a mistake, the Reformers will definitely overthrow the Public Prosecutor. It must be the death of Zhang Fei. At that time, whether Wang Anshi will help or not.

After thinking for a while, Wang Anshi asked again: "Then who do you recommend to go?"

Zhang Fei told the truth.

"Old man Fan?"

Wang Anshi was furious, "You let that old man go, didn't you mean to make things difficult for Wang Shao?"

Zhang Fei hurriedly explained: "This is not what I asked for, it was requested by Bachelor Sima as one of the conditions."

Sima Guang was also willing to take the blame, after all, it would make Wang Anshi angry!

Wang Anshi gritted his teeth and said, "That old traitor Sima is used to selfishness, so I don't even bother to talk about it. But you have to think about the overall situation. If the two of them don't cooperate with each other, how can they succeed."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Scholar Wang, please calm down and listen to my explanation. I know the conflict between Xueshi Wang and Mr. Fan, but Xueshi Wang believes in me. Mr. Fan in the procuratorate will definitely deal with it fairly and will never deliberately deal with it." Create trouble for Wang Xuanfu."

Wang Anshi snorted and said, "Handling with justice can also be selfish, and you have to understand that in wars, you may not be able to completely abide by the law. Don't you understand?"

Zhang Fei almost cried, "I know this, so I dare not go there immediately. If I go, at least on the surface, I have to be selfless. If something goes wrong, and I can't cover it up, then how can I go?" But if there is a conflict between them, then if I go to mediate, it will be more convincing.

Moreover, this is also one of the reasons for the establishment of an important trading town. As long as Wang Xuanfu does not go there, Mr. Fan will not be able to control it. The money earned by then will be directly transferred from Majia Jiekupu to the army. "

Of course Wang Anshi didn't want to, he was the one who drove Fan Zhen away, and now he's being used again, isn't that condescending to ask for peace?Said: "Aside from this, is there no other way?"

Zhang Fei said: "This is the best way, and I also think it's fair, because Bachelor Sima and the others will also take risks for this."

Wang Anshi thought for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He glared at Zhang Fei and said, "It's all your fault, kid."

Zhang Fei asked back: "Could it be that Xueshi Wang is ready to take back the Xihe five prefectures today?"

Wang Anshi blinked. Of course he wasn't prepared. Who would have thought it would go so smoothly? It sounds great, but with such a large piece of land all of a sudden, the management costs can be imagined, so Wang Shao was in such a hurry.

"Okay, I temporarily agree to the old thief's conditions."

Wang Anshi compromised unwillingly.

According to historical records, he had driven out all the conservative forces at this time, and he was able to be dictatorial in the central government. But now the conservative forces are very powerful, and they are closely related to the emperor's interests. After all, in Qingzhou, the emperor has already Once the decision is made, they can only make certain compromises, otherwise, they will face great difficulties.

After Wang Anshi left, Xu Zun and his daughter came out of the backyard.

"How about it?"

Xu Zhiqian asked impatiently.

Zhang Fei told his whole plan.

Xu Zhiqian didn't know much about this strategy, so she just looked at her father.

Xu Zun pondered for a while, then nodded slightly, "Actually, that's fine too. After all, the problems on Jingdong East Road have not been resolved. If you rush there at this time, you will lose more than you gain."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I think so too."

I still remember that after Zhang Fei left the Hezhong Mansion, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang immediately fought to the death. Originally, this matter would definitely trigger another fierce fight between the two factions.

Due to political considerations, the conservatives will definitely oppose it to the end, but if they don't really want to stop the frontline war, they can't stop it. After all, it is related to the emperor's authority.

They just expressed their attitude first, and told the emperor that the lack of finances may not be able to support the opening of the Xihe River. When there is a problem in the northwest, you will be fully responsible.

This will bring tons of pressure to Zhao Xu.

Now that Zhang Fei is back, both parties can know each other's attitude through Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei is a key figure in it. He stated that the attitude will not be changed for the time being, and both parties have to make corresponding adjustments.

This instead gave them an opportunity to compromise with each other.

The Department of Regulations of the Second Government was established.

Lu Huiqing said: "Students think that unless Zhang San goes there in person, otherwise, there is no need for the public prosecutor to go. The person recommended by Bachelor Sima will definitely cause trouble for Wang Xuanfu, and the gain will outweigh the loss."

They don't trust the conservatives at all, and they have reservations about Zhang Fei, but for now, Zhang Fei is still safeguarding their interests and has not betrayed. Among them, only Zhang Fei can be trusted.

Wang Anshi sighed: "But for now, we still need the support of the other party, otherwise, it would be difficult for Shaanxi Road to give Xihe full support."

Lu Huiqing said: "Then we can only let Zhang San go."

Wang Anshi said: "It's not that Zhang San said he couldn't go, but that he wanted to send someone to explore the way first. You have dealt with him, and you should also know that although this boy is very young, the city is very deep and he can't do anything. He will think carefully before doing anything. If he is not sure, he will not try it easily. He was not even willing to be an official at the beginning, which shows how careful he is."

"That's true." Lu Huiqing nodded, and asked again: "Then I wonder who the other party will recommend to go?"

Wang Anshi really didn't dare to say that he would let Fan Zhen go over. He shook his head and said: "Zhang San can't make the decision on this kind of thing. Sima Junshi has to make the decision, but he is definitely not the candidate we are satisfied with."

Give Lu Huiqing a vaccination first.

Lu Huiqing struggled for a while, "Teacher, if you have to seek the other party's support for everything, it will not be conducive to the development of the New Deal!"

Wang Anshi said: "This is an abnormal situation, it is such a great victory, and the results are so great that we were not prepared. If we had known that we could achieve such a success, we would have prepared to deal with it, and we would not be restrained by them. In the future, To use troops against Xixia, we must be fully prepared to avoid repeating the same mistakes."

Not only them, the imperial court was not ready for this either.

It can be seen that the Song Dynasty was not so confident in its own military. If it was the Tang Dynasty, especially during the Zhenguan period, it was like this. Tang Taizong first instigated rebellion, pulled a wave, fought a wave, and when the time was right, he sent troops with an excuse , Wars are carried out very fast, and the loss is also small.

Interestingly, the conservatives have exactly the same views as them and are not willing to cooperate with the other party.

"If Zhang San is not sure, it proves that Wang Shao's method is not feasible at all. Sending Fan Jingren will only provide the other party with a reason to shirk responsibility. Then we will not be able to escape the blame."

Wen Yanbo shook his head and said.

Fu Bi was slightly hesitant.

This public prosecutor's law is not a panacea. If it can solve the problem, don't delay it, it will become more complicated.

Sima Guang also explained: "Fan Jingren just went to investigate, if there is a need, Zhang San will still go."

Wen Yanbo said: "Why Wang Shao was so eager to let the public prosecutor go, it must be because he couldn't control the local situation, and he was in a dilemma, so he went to play to drag the public prosecutor into the water, which shows the danger.

However, if it succeeds, Wang Jiefu will definitely take all the credit for himself as he did last time. After all, this strategy is supported by them, and if we take such a big risk, not only will we not get any benefit, but we may Take all responsibility and think twice about this matter. "

Sima Guang was almost persuaded by Wen Yanbo, and he thought the same way. If he manages well, the other party will take credit for it. If he manages poorly, the responsibility lies entirely with me. So he looked at Fu Bi again, "What do you think, Mr. Fu?"

Fu Bi glanced at Sima Guang and asked, "Can Zhang San not go?"

Sima Guang sighed: "If he could not go, there wouldn't be so many things."

Fu Bi shook his head and said: "So we have no choice. If Fan Jingren doesn't go, Zhang San will definitely go. But in the eyes of most people, Zhang San represents the public security law. If Zhang San goes, if he fails, the public security law will face serious problems. Big crisis.

We can only support Zhang San's suggestion and let Fan Jingren go and inquire about it first. If that doesn't work, then let Zhang San go. Since he said that, he must be somewhat confident. "

The difference between him and Wen Yanbo is that Wen Yanbo is more motivated by political risk considerations, but Fu Bi is now completely leaning towards the Public Security Bureau. His consideration is entirely out of the protection of the Public Security Bureau. At this moment, Zhang Fei He is too deeply tied to the Public Security Bureau. If Zhang Fei fails in Xihe, the Public Security Bureau will face a great crisis.

If you want to protect the public security and the prosecution, you must support Zhang Fei.

Sima Guang nodded, then looked at Wen Yanbo again.

Wen Yanbo sighed, rather helplessly said: "That being said, Wang Shaohui must listen to our advice and be willing to cooperate with Fan Jingren, otherwise, the situation will only get worse."

Sima Guang said: "If the Public Procuratorate goes there, it's up to him whether he listens or not."

Wen Yanbo chuckled and said: "It would be great if it were that simple. But Mr. Fu is right. Even if we refuse, Zhang San will definitely go. We have no choice."

Zhang Fei was not idle either. Although none of the parties fully expressed their views, he still had to convince Ma Tianhao first.

"Go! Go! Go!"

When Ma Tianhao heard about this, Zhang Fei was almost thrown out with sticks, "You don't go yourself, you let me go, what is your intention!"

Zhang Fei was also a little embarrassed, but he still said without changing his face: "That's because Fourth Brother, you are more suitable than me."

Ma Tianhao snorted, "I'm not Xiaoyi, your tricks are not easy to use."

This had nothing to do with the charity foundation, so he naturally refused very firmly.

Zhang Fei said: "When I first came to cooperate with fourth brother, I inquired about the origin of this green-faced judge. Fourth brother was from the imperial army."

"So what?" Ma Tianhao said.

Zhang Fei said: "Where to go there, the fourth brother represents the interests of the military and earns military expenses for the military, so the fourth brother has to understand the forbidden army, and that is the biggest advantage."

Ma Tianhao was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, so he waved his hand!

"Wait and then refuse."

Zhang Fei hurriedly stopped him, and said: "Besides, if the interests of the Ma family can be tied to the military, the fourth brother no longer needs to rely on Xiangguo Temple."

Ma Tianhao blinked and then said: "It is better to rely on Xiangguo Temple than to rely on the military."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Hasn't Fourth Brother ever thought about making his own decisions about his own business? When it came to the land tax and salt banknotes, Fourth Brother was trapped in Xiangguo Temple and was forced to follow them to attack the imperial court. Completely You cannot put your own interests first.

If the fourth brother can build a good relationship with the military, and at the same time use the Xiangguo Temple to check and balance the military, he can make his own decisions, wouldn't it be beautiful. "

"Your Erbi mouth is really annoying."

Ma Tianhao pointed at Zhang Fei in confusion.

These words really hit his weakness. He now wants to escape from the control of Xiangguo Temple, but both his pawn shop and his investment in the charity foundation are controlled by Xiangguo Temple.

But as his power grows, he naturally has other ideas.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Fourth brother is also a big client of our law firm. I am thinking of him wholeheartedly."

Ma Tianhao's expression softened a lot and said: "You are right, I think so, but I have to act within my ability. How can I, a small businessman, be the representative of the interests of the military? How can I be the representative of the interests of the military when there are so many people inside?" It's my turn."

He came from the Sanya, and he knows all about the activities inside. You are not a related household, and you have no background. This kind of good thing can't be his turn.

Zhang Fei said: "Now they are begging you, not you asking for help with a shy face. And there is me, there is Wang Xueshi, and Wang Xuanfu envoy is behind you to support you. What are you afraid of? As long as the military will hand over all the purchases to you , you are the representative of the interests of the military, we will decide this in the capital."

Ma Tianhao said: "Let me think about it."

"What are you still thinking about?" Zhang Fei said: "If that doesn't work, when you come back, the charity foundation will lend you the money you need first. This is a profitable business."

Ma Tianhao snorted, "Will you take advantage of me?"

Zhang Fei said: "This is not to take advantage of you, but to take a fancy to Fourth Brother's ability and your experience in the army."

"Don't mention your experience."

Ma Tianhao pointed to the tattoo on his face, "This is all the experience, you still let me go."

Zhang Fei said: "I know that fourth brother, you were wronged at the beginning. You originally wanted to serve the country. If you need it, I can sue for you and return your innocence."

"no!"

Ma Tianhao said: "I don't want to offend people again, and I also like the nickname of Green Faced Judge."

Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "This is also the reason why I recommend the fourth brother, because it involves national interests. I can't find a pure businessman who is only interested in profit. I know that the fourth brother has always had the heart to serve the country. The fourth brother understands Think about the bigger picture.”

Ma Tianhao rolled his eyes straight, "We warriors are not qualified to serve the country."

Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: "The current government is different. The government is very supportive of generals. According to the law, it has been decided not to tattoo soldiers. Fourth brother, you are the last generation of green-faced judges."

"You are the last...!"

Ma Tianhao glared at him, thought carefully for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go, can't I go? You didn't let Xiaoyi go this time, you still have a conscience, if something happens to me, you can Take good care of Xiaoyi."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, what are you talking about? If you have any problems, you can just run away. I just fancy that you have the heart to serve the country. I didn't ask you to serve the country loyally. You just died for the country. Also worthless."
