Chapter 653 Bankruptcy Act
Chapter 653 Bankruptcy Act
Before Zhang Fei explained it in the future, the case only said that the imperial court had the right to ask the government to compensate, but at present, it is enough to cause great controversy. Thanks to the very good finances of the Hezhong government, otherwise, Zhang Fei would not be able to obtain this right to interpret , was fired immediately.
However, after the explanation, the officials discovered that this turned out to be a bottomless pit, and a debt restructuring came. In fact, this debt restructuring is the packaging of the bankruptcy bill.
The essence is bankruptcy, but Zhang Fei didn't dare to say that. When he was writing a debt lawsuit case, he wrote it as debt restructuring, but that was only for the common people. He never thought that it would also apply to the government.
This is really a stone that stirs up a thousand waves!
Good guy!
The compensation is not enough, and there is still a debt restructuring. If you know this result, there is probably no dispute.
Think back to when Fan Zhongyan said to streamline the officials, he was scolded by the officials to doubt his life, and he was directly kicked out of the central government.
That's Fan Zhongyan!
Whether it is status or fame, Zhang Fei cannot compare.
However, Zhang Fei was more ruthless than Fan Zhongyan, as if he was going to abolish the government directly.
subversion!
This really subverts these officials' consistent perception of the government.
It's okay to do this to the common people, but why don't you go to heaven if you do this to the government!
According to the current understanding of the government's economy, if the government really has no money, and it is not due to corruption and bribery, then it can justifiably increase taxes on the people. Even Sima Guang and Bao Zheng will agree, and no one can do it. Bitter government ah.
If the government is gone, the world will be gone.
It has always been like this!
Therefore, even Wang Anshi and Sima Guang are sweating profusely now, because they only know that Zhang Fei is going to dismiss officials, but they do not know the specific content.
However, Zhang Fei's words are even more terrifying than simply laying off officials. They directly dug up the roots, the government is gone, and the officials are naturally gone.
Even if the two of them are like this, how can the officials below hold back, they just start scolding without saying a word, and talk nonsense.
What kind of plane!
MD!
Could it be that the imperial court was run by your family?
In fact, if this is normal, everyone will think that this is a liar. They just say a lie, and they just have to laugh.
Because it sounds outrageous.
impossible.
But this is the Legislative Assembly, and every word Zhang Fei says may become law. The emperor is still sitting next to it. What if the emperor is missing a string in his head and does this? That's fine. .
This must be done immediately, immediately, and in time to let the emperor see our determination. If you want to do this, then everyone will break up.
Some people even called Zhang Fei a traitor on the spot.
The government is gone, can the country survive?
Do you understand what feudal totalitarianism is.
If you don't understand, don't fool around here.
Faced with all the abuse, Zhang Fei came to the table and sat down, took a sip of tea, and read the copy very carefully. He missed his comrade-in-arms Xu Zhiqian very much. In the past, he could still chat with Xu Zhiqian at such times, but it is a pity that he is fighting alone today .
In fact, he has long been used to this kind of scene. There was no time when he went to court without being criticized by everyone. He was just not used to the feeling that Xu Zhiqian was not around when he was being criticized.
After a while, the scolding gradually became smaller.
After all, the emperor is still sitting here, if he doesn't open his mouth, who would dare to take Zhang Fei down.
But Zhao Xu remained silent all the time, as if telling everyone that I just came to see.
This made everyone even more panic. What was the emperor thinking? Why didn't he make a sound?
In the end, it was Fu Bi who stood up and presided over the overall situation, saying that Zhang Fei was only here to explain, whether it is OK or not, the final decision of the Legislative Council has to be passed, you all stay calm.
When everyone saw that the emperor was silent, and Zhang Fei was drinking tea there, they didn't take it seriously, which made them feel like they were just throwing coins, scolding here.
boring!
So, after everyone's mouth was dry, they gradually quieted down.
Fu Bi also gave Zhang Fei a weak wink, implying that you can continue, old man.
There was really a "tired" look in those eyes!
After receiving Fu Bi's instructions, Zhang Fei stood up.
Immediately there was another long booing.
It was really the emperor sitting on the sidelines, otherwise, they would just lift the table, and the meeting would definitely not go on, and Zhang Fei would not be allowed to continue talking.
Zhang Fei seemed very helpless. He could neither sit nor stand. He could only wait until everyone was booing and all they could do was to vent their breath and not to take in their breath. Then he slowly said: "I really didn't expect that everyone would have such a negative opinion of Confucianism." Such a great opinion.”
Many people were taken aback, are you deaf? We just called it Confucianism? , is it possible that Zhang Fei is called "Confucianism"?
"What are you talking about? When did we have an opinion on Confucianism? We have an opinion on your legal system. You are just talking nonsense and nonsense."
Seizing the opportunity, Meng Gansheng burst into anger.
"But that's Confucianism."
Zhang Fei shrugged slightly, and said: "As I just said, the law of the rule of law is the best way to implement Confucianism. Under the result of compulsory enforcement, the final result is that the soldiers get the compensation they deserve, and the remaining soldiers You will receive a full amount of military pay, and your combat effectiveness will naturally increase. At the same time, the government can also reduce the burden while ensuring the basic operation. There is no tax increase, or increase the burden on the people to alleviate the crisis, and the interests of the people are also guaranteed. .
For the monarch, under such extremely bad circumstances, he can maintain the stability of a state capital and reduce the burden on the court. This undoubtedly protects the rights and interests of the monarch. If a civil uprising or mutiny occurs in a state capital, the monarch and the The common people will be the biggest victims. "
"Stop lying here to deceive the public!"
"You traitor, maybe you are a secret agent sent by the Liao Kingdom, intending to destroy the century-old foundation of the Great Song Dynasty."
They are no longer being unreasonable, and they just scold, and the scolding is very unpleasant, and they throw all kinds of dirty water at them.
The emperor was also indifferent, and picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Can the Liao Kingdom afford my Zhang Daer pen?Who are you looking down on?Zhang Fei smiled and nodded: "I completely understand why you want to scold me and why you question this point of view, but I will explain this later, and I hope you will stay calm."
Take it easy?
We have run out of energy to scold you, wait and see if you have the ability, we will make you speechless.
Everyone looked at him angrily.
You must know that there are all officials here, but there are no ordinary people watching. Zhang Fei is actually in the enemy camp, and his base is completely isolated.
But Zhang Fei took it calmly and said calmly: "No matter what, it can be seen that in this extremely bad situation, the legal system can still protect the basic rights and interests of the monarch, the country, and the people. So who is the victim? Obviously, everyone sitting here is the official, so everyone scolding me is right, but isn't this the best solution of Confucianism?"
Even Sima Guang wondered: "How can this be the best solution for Confucianism?"
After being deceived by Zhang Fei like this, Guang felt like his book of sages had been read into the dog's belly.
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Because the benevolent government of Confucianism is to persuade the monarch, treat the people well, and lightly pay the tax, but there is no sentence in it that says to give priority to protecting the rights and interests of officials. The law of the legal system is implemented in this way, why is it wrong?" have?"
".!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. So in Confucianism, are we just fish and meat?Who are you fooling.
But if you think about it carefully, there is really no such thing in the benevolent government of Confucianism.
But Wen Yanbo and the others knew that Zhang Fei was just playing tricks. Since the ministers are in charge of planning and execution, do they still need to state their rights?
Ministers can't cut themselves.
At this time, Su Shi suddenly said: "The law of the legal system is to protect everyone's legitimate rights and interests. Are officials not human beings?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
It can be regarded as finding a breakthrough.
They almost suffered internal injuries just now.
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Of course the legal system is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of officials. If the government defaults on the salary of officials, officials can also sue, but the court wants to lay off officials. This is the legitimate power of the court.
This is like, the public security law can help a bartender get paid, but it is impossible to force the owner to hire him for a lifetime.
Moreover, if it really comes to the step I mentioned, that is, debt restructuring, it will be all the blame of the officials themselves, and they have no one to blame. "
As soon as this remark came out, the officials couldn't help but look grim. Are we to blame?You are ashamed to say this, what you are doing is to let us get blood to subsidize the monarch and the people.
Wen Yanbo couldn't help lowering his eyebrows and asked, "How do you say that?"
Zhang Fei said: "It's already reached this point. If the debt continues to increase, or if it continues to increase, it will be a mutiny or a civil uprising. Isn't this enough to show that the officials are incompetent?"
An official hid behind and shouted: "What do you know, kid? Many things are ordered by the superiors. The local officials are also very helpless."
This is alluding to the emperor, it is the emperor who wants money!
The rest of the people glanced at Zhao Xu, saw that he hadn't looked over, and nodded quickly.
That's it.
Zhang Fei said: "I've heard this sentence many times in the Hezhong Mansion. My advice to them is to tell the emperor truthfully that I can't do it, and get someone else. I don't believe it. You've said that. The imperial court It will also force you to complete it.
I heard that some magistrates on Jingdong East Road said that they could not complete the Young Crop Law, and the court immediately withdrew them.
In addition, the emperor and the imperial court also have to pay the price, because the imperial court’s tax revenue will also be reduced as a result, and the debt restructuring does not mean that the government is completely abandoned. The imperial court still has to allocate money to maintain the most basic operation of the official government.
This is something no one wants to encounter, but in that extremely bad situation, if you don't do that, the country will continue to decay until it perishes.If you do this, it is only a temporary pain, but it can reduce the burden and go into battle lightly. At the same time, the most basic stability of the country will not be destroyed. It is just that the officials may not be able to repair the palace as much as they want.
But the law of the rule of law protects not the gorgeous palace, but the most fundamental rights and interests of the monarch, the country, and the people. "
All eyes were on Zhao Xu.
His words meant to limit the imperial power, why don't you kill him?
But Zhao Xu still had no expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
In fact, Zhang Fei had mentioned the "cage of power" to him a long time ago. If you put a little bit in it, they will double it in, and the imperial power will be even greater.
In terms of profit, if I build one less palace and can lay off officials, that's really not a good deal.
Zhao Xu will never hesitate.
The key point is that he has no plans to build a palace for the time being!
This deal is absolutely done.
The officials saw that the emperor didn't make a sound, so what's the point of cursing, let's go to the Chuigong Hall to talk.
Zhang Fei had no intention of paying attention to what Zhao Xu was thinking, because the two of them had discussed it long ago, and he continued: "It can be seen from this that everyone's talk about taking care of the overall situation is just deceiving one's ears and stealing the bell, and letting the country continue to decay. , to put it simply, after I die, no matter how terrible the flood is."
After hearing this, many officials suddenly opened their eyes angrily.
Slander!
This is really a slander!
But many officials are also silent, especially the prime ministers, because they think this is the truth, and everyone is delaying it day by day.
It's very simple. The solution to these three redundant problems couldn't be simpler, which is to save money, but why can't it be done.
However, the emperor is in a hurry now, so Wang Anshi will be reused.
Many officials believed that this was the reason why the emperor remained silent. Regardless of some of Zhang Fei's words, they were a bit rebellious, but his final conclusion was that the emperor was in his heart.
Zhang Fei said again: "The practice of the rule of law may seem reckless, but it is actually for the sake of the overall situation, because in this process, the basic stability of a country is guaranteed. The people will not revolt, and the soldiers will not mutiny. As for Officials can only blame their lack of ability.
The success of Yuan Xueshi in Hezhong Mansion has already demonstrated this point. In fact, through policy adjustments, things will not develop to this point. Therefore, Hezhong Mansion has not reached the point of debt restructuring, so I am talking about debt restructuring. It must be done, but there is no other way. "
Zhao Yan and Lu Gong nodded slightly.
In this way, in fact, everyone can still understand that if the troubles reach such a point, even the previous system, the officials would have to be punished, but Zhang Fei is more radical. The core of layoffs is not punishment, but debt repayment, but finance.
Zhang Fei added: "And this is also a major shortcoming of Confucian law, which is the lack of implementation. Here I refer to Confucian law, not Confucian thought. And the legal system will make up for this. A shortcoming."
Fu Bi asked, "Where do you start with this?"
Zhang Fei replied: "As I just said, Confucianism is just a minister facing the monarch, and it should be like this. This is the responsibility of the ministers. But the problem is that once the monarch adopts it, the executor is still the minister. In this way, Two problems will arise.
First, most ministers will definitely only recommend the monarch to drop from ([-]) to (zero), and it is absolutely impossible to upgrade from ([-]) to ([-]).Because the executor is also a minister, who will make it more difficult for him? Even if the prime minister wants to do this, the officials below will not agree. "
Zhao Xu nodded his head frequently this time, without any scruples, and said in his heart, hit the nail on the head, hit the nail on the head!
Wen Yanbo shook his head and said: "I don't agree with this statement. If the minister can't do it, he still suggests that the officials do it. How is this different from bringing disaster to the country and the people?"
Wang Anshi couldn't help but glance at Wen Yanbo, is he implying me?
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Wen Gong's words are reasonable, and this is the second point I want to say, under the Confucian law, the emperor is very easy to listen to slander, but it is difficult to distinguish loyalty from evil.
According to the current system, generally speaking, the emperor first proposes a goal, the prime minister designs a plan for it, and finally the officials below implement it, so as to achieve this goal.
Suppose the emperor proposes an impossible goal, the honest minister will inevitably dissuade it, while the opportunistic villain will say that he can help the emperor to complete this goal.As a result, the emperor may listen to the words of the villain.
If you look at the history books, many treacherous ministers got to the top by virtue of this.But whether this is the emperor's fault, I think it needs to be analyzed in detail. If the emperor simply satisfied his own selfish desires, regardless of the financial crisis, repaired the palace, or what, then the emperor was also at fault. This is what is recorded in the history books Faint king.
But if the emperor wants to make great efforts to govern, to expand the territory, to build the achievements of the world, this cannot be said to be the emperor's fault. "
After hearing this, Wen Yanbo couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This kid's flattering is really unprecedented!"
Sima Guang and Mr. Lu on the side smiled and shook their heads. They had already seen Ayun's case before.
These words are actually very unpleasant to the emperor, you have said that, I will not build palaces in the future.
But all the ministers sitting here know that the little emperor must love to listen very much.
Zhao Xu's goal is to make great efforts to govern and expand the territory, but his idea has been greatly hindered, and he needs theoretical support very much now.
Zhang Fei said: "Let's assume that the emperor wants to expand the territory, but the finances are not enough for the time being. Then the honest and capable ministers will improve the finances and help the emperor expand the territory without raising taxes.
However, this kind of minister is generally rare to see in 500 years, such as Xiao He and Fang Xuanling. At present, I am also going this way in the Wang Dynasty, but it has not been proved yet. "
Wang Anshi's dignified expression was like a blooming snow lotus, and he immediately smiled and nodded generously.
Just now he thought Zhang Fei and Wen Yanbo's remarks were just satirizing him, because it was at this crucial point that he was in charge.
Now that Zhang Fei said so, it is absolutely correct to put himself in the same rank as Xiao He and Fang Xuanling.
But it immediately provoked a lot of people to sneer.
Xiao He and Fang Xuanling are not like you, but Li Linfu is similar to you Wang Jiefu.
Zhang Fei was happy to see Wang Anshi, and continued: "Actually, most of the upright ministers are in the second category, which is to dissuade the emperor. Don't rush for success and benefit, but should rest and build up strength, and then accumulate a lot of money."
Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, and Fu Bi all nodded in agreement, as if voluntarily admitting that we are the second type.
That's what they claim.
Zhang Fei said again: "Because the first kind is really rare, so most of them are the second kind. However, treacherous ministers are born in the second kind of situation. When all honest ministers say they can't do it, He said he could do it.
As a monarch, he must still hope to expand the territory, so he may appoint treacherous ministers, but history books have told us that the method of treacherous ministers is actually to try their best to exploit the people, collect money, and then go to war.
In the end, loyalty and traitor can only be judged by the results. Maybe we will not know that he is a traitor until the country is dead.And this is a problem with the Confucian law. The saints have actually thought of this, but they can't do it.
It is because the benevolent government of the Confucian law only allows ministers to advise the monarch, govern the country benevolently, treat the people well, and pay lightly, but these are all gifts and rewards, not a system to protect the rights and interests of the people.
If the emperor is surrounded by upright ministers, this can be maintained, but if not, it means that the rights and interests of the people will not be protected. "
After these words, the venue lost a lot of hostility and a little more thought.
In fact, those who read history books like Sima Guang have been thinking about how to prevent traitors from ascending to power.
But there is currently no answer.
And Zhang Fei's explanation for this problem is really eye-catching.
Is benevolent government a gift or a system?
For the emperor, it seems that the gift is more able to extend the imperial power. I can treat the people kindly, or I can not treat the people kindly, how cool it is.But after Zhang Fei's explanation, this belongs to the emperor's rights and interests, so it should be guaranteed. This is the need for a system.
What Zhang Fei said means that Confucianism regards benevolent government as a gift from the emperor, which is a major drawback of Confucianism.
Zhang Fei continued: "The idea of the legal system is to protect the basic rights and interests of all people. In fact, it is to protect the interests of the monarch and the country. Then on this basis, if you can help the emperor achieve his goals, then you are not a traitor. It's a capable minister, no matter what means you use.
On the contrary, those who intend to destroy laws and systems to achieve their goals are treacherous ministers. Historical books have proven this. Traitor ministers often satisfy the emperor, which leads to the emperor losing the world.The legal system will make it impossible for these treacherous ministers to hide, and they will not have to pay the price of national subjugation to prove whether they are loyal or treacherous.
The key emperor can also get a very accurate feedback without being deceived by traitors. Whether he can or cannot is just a matter of ability, not loyalty. "
Zhao Xu showed a slight smile. He was very moved by this explanation. If this is the case, he can let go of his hands and feet to do it.
"Well said!"
Sima Guang spoke suddenly, and immediately glanced at Wang Anshi.
Sima Guang was also professional in angering Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi immediately became furious, "Look what I'm doing, I clearly belong to the first type of minister, but I haven't proved it yet."
Zhang Feiquan didn't see it and said to himself: "This precedent is obviously more beneficial than harmful to the country. It will not only effectively help the monarch to work hard for governance, but also allow capable ministers like Yuan Xueshi to shine. More importantly, Yes, it can also make the country richer and stronger."
Zhao Xu, who had been silent all this time, asked, "What does Judge Zhang say?"
The attitude is clear, my purpose is to make the country prosperous and strong, if you can't do it, don't blame me for trusting this kid.
Zhang Fei explained: "We have to start with the words of Sima Xueshi. There are only so many wealth and goods produced in the world. If they are not in the private sector, they are in the public sector! Is it reasonable for the officials?"
This is a good question. Sima Guang silently praised Zhang Fei and looked at Zhao Xu secretly.
Zhao Xu hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "There is a certain reason."
Zhang Fei asked again: "What Wang Xueshi said, the country that enriches its family is rich, and the country that is rich is rich. If you want to enrich the world, you must capitalize the world. The conclusion is that the people do not add taxes, but the country uses them. Officials Do you think this is justified?"
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "There is also a certain reason."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "If you choose one of the two, it is probably the fish and the bear's paw."
Zhao Xu nodded vigorously, you know the pain in my heart.
Zhang Fei said: "But the law of the rule of law can achieve both."
Zhao Xu said in surprise: "Is this true?"
Sima Guang and Wang Anshi also looked at Zhang Fei curiously.
What is the relationship between the law of the rule of law and these two sentences?
Zhang Fei explained: "The words of Bachelor Sima, in my opinion, are talking about the present, not the future. The increase or decrease of a country's wealth does not mean that it can be turned upside down in a day. At this moment, it is" There are only this number', of course it is not in the public house, but in the private sector."
This made Sima Guang stunned, did I mean that?
It can be seen that he has never seen the Internet. What you want to express is not important at all. What is important is how most people understand it.
Zhang Fei added: "The law of the law is precisely to protect this sentence, that is, to protect the basic rights and interests of the public and the people."
Zhao Xu nodded, "That makes sense!"
Sima Guang said this to prevent the government from seizing private wealth, and the law of the rule of law can indeed be guaranteed.
Zhang Fei said: "The words of Xueshi Wang are not wrong, but they are about the future, not the present. It will take time to prove whether the people can be freed from taxation and the country can be spared, because the law of the rule of law ensures that the New Deal cannot increase taxes at will, and this case is the best proof.”
Wang Anshi was delighted to hear that, "This brat can really speak."
Su Shi, who smelled sour, nodded frequently. He and Su Zhe agreed very much on this point, which was why they joined the Public Security Bureau. They opposed Wang Anshi because they thought Wang Anshi was lying and he could not do what was stipulated in the regulations. For a long time, it must be necessary to change the law to exploit the people and move all the private wealth to the public.
The purpose of the public prosecutor, procuratorate, and law was to prevent Wang Anshi from doing this, and to force Wang Anshi to "endow the world with wealth and enrich the world."
Zhang Fei said: "Ordinary people still hope to get better and better. Of course the emperor also hopes that the country will become more prosperous and powerful. This is human nature and the emperor's destiny."
Zhao Xu nodded with a smile, "Wonderful! Wonderful! What Chief Judge Zhang said really cleared up my confusion."
"The official has been awarded."
Zhang Fei cupped his hands in a salute, and said: "It can be seen that the law of the legal system can not only ensure the current balance of public and private wealth, but also satisfy the emperor's vision for the future and boldly employ people.
In particular, this case can keep mediocre officials and treacherous officials at the door, because there are fewer opportunities for opportunism, so that they cannot exploit the people at will, deceive the emperor, and let capable officials show their abilities in front of the emperor.
From this point of view, the rule of law is not to harm the rights and interests of all officials, but to harm the rights and interests of mediocre officials, but at the same time defend the rights and interests of upright and talented officials. "
After these words, there was silence in the arena.
Who is against, who is a mediocre official?
You really know how to say it!
On the reformist side, competent officials like Wang Anshi and Zeng Bu thought it sounded pretty good. Isn’t this the philosophy of our reformers?
What’s funny is that conservative officials also believe that isn’t this also our philosophy?Ensure that private wealth does not flow into the public.
However, most of the opposition are depressed. You are going too far in doing this!
Are we being sold?
Outrageous!
"It can be seen."
Zhang Fei suddenly returned to the table, "My judgment in the Hezhong Mansion is to thoroughly implement the concept of the rule of law, and it is by no means a special case, or it varies from person to person, even in the worst case, as long as the rule of law is adhered to The concept of law can still protect the basic rights and interests of all parties. Therefore, I very much hope that the Legislative Council will pass my case."
Fu Bi, who was fascinated by listening, suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Fei, kid, that's wrong!After you finished speaking, you patted your ass and left. The pressure is all on me.
At this time, Zhang Fei happened to look at Fu Bi and said, "Mr. Fu, I've finished."
Fu Bi saw a vengeance in his eyes, and cursed secretly, this little Erbi is really going to take revenge.
