Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 474

It was Zhang Fei who was going to take office in the Hezhong Mansion, but Sima Guang was the busiest during this period.

The main reason is that Sima Guang believed that his brainstorm was due to lack of consideration, and this move not only related to Zhang Fei, but also related to judicial reform and the important town of Hezhong.

But the matter has been decided, all he can do now is to try his best to make up for it, and he will try his best to meet all Zhang Fei's requirements without violating morality.

For example, Zhang Fei wanted to know more about Hezhong's officialdom, so he immediately looked through various personnel files, and asked his colleagues about the character of Hezhong's officials, and so on.

Sima Guang really believed that this was also a shortcoming of Zhang Fei.

According to past practice, all officials who go to the Hezhong area to hold important positions must be officials with strong qualifications, and they basically know the main officials of the Hezhong Prefecture without asking.

Zhang Fei is a complete stunner, probably doesn't know any of them.

If you are not familiar with it, you will definitely not be able to get along.

"Wow so much?"

Zhang Fei was holding the thick stack of official titles. This person was stupid. He looked at Sima Guang and said, "Scholar Sima, in fact, I only want to know some important officials, the ones with authority."

Sima Guang sighed and said, "My court's powers are quite chaotic, and there are often four or five officials in charge of one matter, so there is a disaster of redundant officials."

Zhang Fei blinked, and said, "That means these officials have authority."

Sima Guang nodded.

".!"

Zhang Fei was speechless for a while, then casually flipped through the pages, "What happened to Han Temple?"

Sima Guang hurriedly explained: "Han Temple is the Jiedu Envoy of the Hezhong Prefecture, but this position is generally empty. Military power is generally in the hands of local regiment envoys, but in case of war or natural disasters, the imperial court will appoint and recruit Envoys, appeasement envoys, economic envoys, Xuanfu envoys, and other envoys went to take over military and civil affairs. For the time being, there were no wars or natural disasters there, so there were no envoys permanently stationed there.

At present, the authority of the Hezhong Mansion is mainly in the hands of two people. One is Cai Yanqing, the prefect of Hezhong. This person is the nephew of the famous Prime Minister Cai Qi. His attainment is no less than that of your father-in-law. He is a prisoner on Jingdong Road. He is upright, shrewd and capable. He is a rare all-rounder.

You are here mainly to take over the judicial power from him, but based on my understanding of him, he will not make things difficult for you, and he is also an official you can rely on. "

Officials who can serve as magistrates in Hezhong Mansion, regardless of their loyalty and treachery, must have outstanding abilities, because Hezhong Mansion is directly related to the logistics of the Northwest Army.

Zhang Fei nodded, and took a closer look at Cai Yanqing's specific information. It is really all kinds of halos. He was born in a family of officials and officials. He was also a child prodigy. At the age of nearly 30, he served as the magistrate of Hezhong Prefecture. At the same time, he was also in charge of the logistics of Qinfeng Road, that is, the transfer envoy of Qinfeng Road.

This political achievement is all the way to success, without flaws.

It's scary!

The family education in the Song Dynasty is still very good. It is really very common for two or three generations to come and go. The key point is that they are really capable and talented.

Even Cai Jing, a treacherous official, climbed up through his political achievements. His younger brother Cai Bian is also the prime minister.

Sima Guang said again: "The other one is the transfer envoy. It was originally Xue Xiang, but after Wang Jiefu transferred Xue Xiang to serve as the dispatch envoy not long ago, this position was temporarily vacant, but now Wang Jiefu has recommended Yuan Jiang to go. But This position is usually in charge of the finances of the road, especially the salt administration, which is related to the northwest and the central government, and is usually managed by people sent by the imperial court, and never managed by the local prefect. In this regard, you should negotiate with Wang Jiefu yourself."

Zhang Fei nodded, and said again: "But what I'm facing is not the two of them."

Sima Guang said: "That's right, what can be written here is only the tip of the iceberg, and I can't explain the specific local conditions. The advice I can give you is to do your own thing well. At that time, the judicial power will be completely handed over to you." Public Prosecution Law."

Although the two of them have the greatest power, given the Northern Song Dynasty system, there are many local officials who can check and balance them.

What Zhang Fei has to face is the whole system.

But this is not because of Zhang Fei, but the power of the judiciary. If it is a different position, it is far less difficult. The judiciary really involves everyone and everything.

The two were chatting when Xu Zun came back.

"I'm back on the way."

Sima Guang stood up and bowed his hands.

Xu Zun got a gift in return.

Zhang Fei also saluted Xu Zunxing.

Xu Zun nodded and said, "It happens that Junshi is here, and I have something to discuss with you."

Sima Guang asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Zundao: "Su Ziyou plans to go there first."

Sima Guang asked in surprise, "Why?"

Xu Zun smiled wryly and said, "This is because Su Ziyou doesn't want others to think that the Public Security Bureau is a government office, and the imperial court, the procuratorate, and the police station are independent of each other and check and balance each other. Therefore, he doesn't want to wait for Zhang San to go together. "

"That's fine too."

Sima Guang nodded, and suddenly looked at Zhang Fei again.

Zhang Fei smiled wryly and said, "Even if I have an opinion, he won't listen."

"That's true."

Sima Guang nodded with a smile, and said to Xu Zun, "Then you, the procuratorate, can decide for yourself."

Xu Zun looked at Zhang Fei again, "Then when do you plan to go?"

"No hurry! No hurry!"

Sima Guang hurriedly said, "Zhang San is different from Su Zhe. He has no experience in being an official. We should wait until everything is ready before going."

Although Zhang Fei holds a Ph.D. degree in the Imperial Academy, he is actually a teacher with zero official experience.

Seeing that Sima Guang was more worried than his father-in-law, Xu Zun nodded with a smile.

Zhang Fei was even less anxious.

After Sima Guang left, Zhang Fei immediately threw the document to Xu Zhiqian.

"what is this?"

Xu Zhiqian took it over and asked curiously.

Zhang Fei said: "Scholar Sima just sent you a list of officials in Hezhong Mansion, you should make a note of it."

Xu Zhiqian nodded, and asked again: "Have you finished watching?"

Zhang Fei said: "I have a headache looking at it, and I don't quite understand it, you just need to know."

The authority of the Northern Song Dynasty is really obscure and difficult to understand, and it has to be handed over to the locals.

Xu Zhiqian frowned and said, "You don't even bother to read the news that Bachelor Sima worked so hard to find, how can this work?"

Zhang Fei said unhappily: "If I do it all, then... why do you want to be the master, I am your immediate boss now."

Xu Zhiqian's eyes lit up, yes!I am also the master bookkeeper now.

When she used to go around with Xu Zun, she wanted to help, but sometimes Xu Zun refused to let her go. This time, she can give her a serious position, which is what she dreams of, so there is no complaint.

Zhang Fei took a sneak peek at her, secretly complacent, hehe. It can be regarded as catching your weakness. If you have something to do as a secretary, you have nothing to do.

"Zhang San! Zhang San!"

"Huh? What?"

"What are you thinking?" Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei curiously.

"Nothing?"

Zhang Fei hurriedly shook his head.

Xu Zhiqian asked again expectantly: "When do you plan to leave?"

Zhang Fei said: "It will take some time for Zhong Er and Lu Shen to rush to Hezhong Mansion, we are not in a hurry."

But Xu Zhiqian said: "Then we can also go there earlier to prepare!"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "My new official needs three fires, but if the kinder Lu Shen is not around, where can I light this fire."

As soon as the words fell, a few howls could be heard from outside.

"Zhang San! Zhang San!"

"Third brother! I'm back!"

Xu Zhiqian said: "The pony is back?"

"So soon?"

Zhang Fei said: "I'll go out and have a look first."

"Ah."

When they came to the front yard, before anyone could see clearly, they saw Ma Xiaoyi pounced on him and looked at Zhang Fei with big watery eyes, "Third brother, when do you plan to leave?"

"I guess it will take more than a month."

"What?"

Cao Dongdong excitedly said: "It's been more than a month, why don't you wait until next year to go."

Zhang Fei snorted and said, "If you want to go early, just go by yourself. It doesn't matter what time you go to the police station, give it to me."

Cao Dongdong frowned and said, "Do you think I'm willing to wait for you? Daddy insists on letting us go with you."

Ma Xiaoyi said: "Third brother, if you have any unfinished wishes, tell me, and I will help you fulfill them."

"Go, go, go! I'm going to take office, not to die, and my wish has not yet been fulfilled."

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said, "I still have to wait for the official's order."

As soon as the official came out, the two boys suddenly withered.

Cao Dongdong snorted, "It's really boring."

Just at this moment, Niu Beiqing's voice sounded again in front of the door, "Third brother, Grand Master Wang is here."

"What a coincidence."

Ma Xiaoyi said depressedly.

Cao Dongdong said: "Little Ma, let's go first and come back tomorrow."

"Hey! Third brother, let's go first."

The two goods immediately slipped to the side door.

Zhang Fei shook his head speechlessly, and immediately went out to greet him.

Seeing Zhang Fei, Wang Anshi joked immediately: "You kid is really motivating people when you go out!"

Zhang Fei said: "Just looking at the excitement, all those who went there were young calves."

Wang Anshi laughed and said, "This newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!"

Zhang Fei said: "It's a pity that the next sentence can defeat a tiger even if it is not a calf."

Wang Anshi laughed.

When he came to the front hall and sat down, Wang Anshi said again: "You are very shrewd, I'm not worried about your recklessness. It's just!"

He hesitated to speak, Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "I don't know much about this boy when he first entered the officialdom, so I ask Xueshi Wang to give me some pointers."

Wang Anshi glanced at him, and suddenly asked, "Do you still remember the case of Wang Hong back then?"

Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, nodded and said, "I remember."

Wang Anshi said: "I remember that at the beginning, the imperial court supported Wang Hong and forbade you to do the tax calculation business. Do you know the reason?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Because of the finances, if the tax cannot be collected, there may be bigger problems."

"Not bad!"

Wang Anshi nodded and said: "Finance is the most important thing, and the finance of Hezhong Mansion is related to the situation of the Northwest Army. Many things, you have to take care of the overall situation. Remember not to lose the big because of a small one. There is an accident at the border, even if your judgment is correct, you will not be punished."

Zhang Fei understood as soon as he heard it, and immediately said: "Scholar Wang, please don't worry, if it's about logistics or salt method, I will discuss it with Doctor Yuan first."

Children can be taught!Wang Anshi nodded with a smile, and said: "I have also mentioned to Doctor Yuan about the matter of salt notes. If you have a better suggestion, you can discuss it directly with him. He will definitely consider it as appropriate."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I see."

In fact, Wang Anshi came here to tell Zhang Fei about this matter. To put it simply, the judiciary still has to serve government orders, and finance and military affairs must come first.

Because Wang Anshi also knows that the profit of salt is so high, and exploitation is inevitable in the middle, but the overall situation is the most important, and if there is no money, there will be big problems.

He was worried that Zhang Fei would be brainwashed by Sima Guang.

But Zhang Fei is not that pedantic person, of course he knows to put the national interest first.

The Department of Taxation secretly obtained information, and it is certain that many of them were obtained illegally.

After all, Zhang Fei eats from three families. The key point is that both Wang Anshi and Sima Guang think that Zhang Fei is more inclined to his side.

In fact, Zhang Fei and Zhao Xu are wearing a pair of pants.

But Zhao Xu didn't tell Zhang Fei anything, because Zhao Xu knew that Sima Guang and Wang Anshi would both tell him what he should tell, and he probably didn't think as thoroughly as the two of them.

He just called Zhang Feilin into the palace to practice for him before he set off, and also decided to change the royal family's residence in Hezhong Mansion into the Hezhong Mansion Imperial Court.

At the same time, he also personally canonized Zhang Fei as the chief judge of Shaanxi Road, not only Guanhe Zhongfu, but also the highest judge of Shaanxi Road.

If this arrangement is not made, there is no right to hear the Suizhou case.

This also shows Zhao Xu's expectation for Zhang Fei's trip.

But Zhang Fei waited for more than [-] days in a daze. It was because the scorching heat was coming that he was ready to leave Beijing to take up his post.

Today, the sky is not yet bright!

Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi rode tall horses and rushed to the door of Zhang's house, roaring.

"It's about to start soon, can't you two calm down a little bit?"

When Zhang Fei came out, he complained feebly. These two boys have been pestering him every day, urging him to go on the road early, otherwise, he might have to go later. Suddenly, there was a ghost beside him The man couldn't help saying: "Brother Xiaochun, are you here to see him off?"

Cao Dongdong hehe said: "Xiaochun will go with us."

"what?"

Zhang Fei couldn't help looking at Fu Shichun in surprise.

With tears in his eyes, Fu Shichun looked up to the sky and sighed, "Careless in making friends!"
