Chapter 370 Legislative power
Zhang Fei suggested to Zhao Xu to gradually shift the focus of taxation from agriculture to commerce.
Zhao Xu also agrees with this very much.
Because the reality has already told Zhao Xu that there is no way to correct the problems existing in the agricultural tax. If you move a little, it seems that the landslides will collapse. In addition, the current increase in commercial taxes is very rapid. Taxes are really thankless, and the key is not yet done.
Layout business, as long as you play well, you can use business rules to collect agricultural taxes.
The big landlords hoarded so much grain that they had to sell it.
On the one hand, the law of the rule of law can promote commercial development, and at the same time, the emperor can use the law of the rule of law to control this force.
"I see."
Zhao Xu nodded, but still frowned and said: "But my ministers may not take this into consideration when revising the regulations."
Zhang Fei was slightly taken aback, thinking, Ouch!Why am I so confused, what he is most worried about now should be the legislative power.
This is the fact.
Fu Bi's move, what disturbed Zhao Xu the most was the legislative power.
Zhao Xu was very obsessed with the pardon in advance.
However, Fu Bi suggested that it is necessary to summon the world's talents to revise the law, and it should be regarded as the top priority of the country.
Maybe it's about standardization.
This part of the power may be left behind.
Although Zhang Fei guessed that Fu Bi mainly wanted to make up for Qingli's regret, but as an emperor, Zhao Xu's first consideration was of course the imperial power.
Zhang Fei pondered for a while, and said: "As for how to amend the regulations, I actually don't know how to do it."
Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Aren't you being modest, I see that you speak the truth in class!"
"I'm really not being humble."
Zhang Fei hurriedly shook his head, hesitated for a while, and said, "Your Majesty has issued some pardons before, right?"
Zhao Xu nodded.
Zhang Fei said: "Have you ever been rejected?"
This is really which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.Zhao Xu said depressedly: "It is often rejected."
Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, can we discuss the matter?"
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "I'll say it again, I still hope that you can be the same as before, and you can tell me everything, and I can assure you that I won't blame you for anything you say."
He admired Wang Anshi so much, but one of the main reasons why he was influenced by Zhang Fei was that he had established a slight friendship with Zhang Fei, and it could even be said that Zhang Fei was his only friend.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhang Fei immediately said: "As far as the matter is concerned, is there really no problem with His Majesty's pardon?"
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I don't deny it. If they can't make sense, they don't dare to dismiss my amnesty easily, but I also issue those amnesties for the existing problems."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Of course I know this, but what I want to say is that in matters of legislation, wisdom is only second, and the key lies in experience and experience. The reason why His Majesty's pardon has problems is only because His Majesty did not I went to the folks to experience it myself, and the things I learned came from the ministers. The same amnesty may be very effective in the south, but it will have a counterproductive effect in the north, because the ministers who respond are from different places.”
Zhao Xu nodded frequently and said: "It makes sense, it is true."
Zhang Fei said: "I'm only in my 20s, and I lack experience and experience, so I really don't have the ability to practice the Dharma." At this point, he changed the subject, "But the world's elite may not be able to cultivate, especially Whether this is the law or the law based on the rule of law.”
Zhao Xu was surprised and said, "Not all the elites in the world may be able to cultivate?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "As I said in class, the law of legalism is from top to bottom, while the law of legal system is from bottom to top. If only the smartest people in the world are allowed to practice the law, it will be better to cultivate it. The law must be the law of the Legalists, and it cannot be the law of the legal system, because these smart people often think about how I should manage it, instead of carefully considering what kind of disputes and entanglements there will be among the people.”
After three classes, Zhao Xu was able to understand Zhang Fei's meaning very quickly, and asked again: "Then who is qualified to practice this method?"
Zhang Fei replied: "It is those judicial officials who have traveled to various places. They are the most familiar with the specific conditions of the people in various places."
Zhao Xu frowned slightly and said: "But if they have a solution, these problems will not be passed on to the court."
"What Your Majesty said is true." Zhang Fei nodded with a smile, and said again: "Then the problem is very simple, geniuses like Fu Gong lack the experience of directly facing the people, but they are full of wisdom.
Conversely, those lowest-level judicial officials have a deep understanding of the civil situation, but they lack sufficient wisdom to solve these problems.
It just so happens that the low-level officials in my court will be changed every three years. On the way to the change, I can let them come to the capital first to organize a legislative meeting with the prime ministers of the DPRK and China. "
Zhao Xu was taken aback, "Legislative Assembly?"
"good."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Your Majesty will preside over it personally, and the two sides will discuss legislation and amendments in the form of defense, and both sides can ask questions to each other.
At that time, it will be clear at a glance whether it is an implementation problem or a lack of law, and some serious problems can be solved in time, and even the specific situation of the new law in various places can be clearly understood at that time.
The point is, this will also enable you, Your Majesty, to know exactly what is going on with the people everywhere, so that you will not be deceived by others and promulgate wrong policies.
In fact, many emperors in ancient times also wanted to be a sage king, but they often got some biased news, which led to policy mistakes. "
Zhao Xu nodded frequently when he heard it. Although he had only been on the throne for two years, he was deeply touched.
The same thing, the reformers and the conservatives just have different views, and they both say it makes sense, and he doesn't know who to listen to.
"but.."
Zhao Xu was a little suspicious again, "The officials at the bottom are all afraid of the prime minister, I'm afraid they won't dare to tell the truth then!"
The implication is that the superiors and subordinates sit together, and it has been discussed a long time ago, and the performance is shown to them.
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Therefore, His Majesty wants to introduce a third party to ask questions to both of them, so as to force them not to dare to communicate secretly."
"Third party?"
Zhao Xu asked: "Is there anyone in this world who is not afraid of the prime minister?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes."
"Who?"
"It's those candidates."
Zhang Fei said: "First of all, those candidates are also from various places, and they also know the situation of the people in various places. Secondly, they are all young and energetic, and they are not officials, so they don't need to be afraid of those prime ministers."
"who said it."
Zhao Xu snorted, "Many examinees have already been accepted as sons-in-law by the prime ministers of the court before taking the imperial examination."
Zhang Fei blinked, "Really?"
Zhao Xu said: "Don't you know this? Didn't Fu Bi just fall in love with Yan Shu at the beginning, and then he was accepted as his son-in-law?"
"It's no wonder those examinees worked so hard, and spared no effort for ten years. It turned out that they didn't want to work hard."
Zhang Fei looked at Zhao Xu anxiously, "Your Majesty, do you think I am too old to take the imperial examination now?"
Zhao Xu was taken aback for a moment, and then he said: "You are not too old, but no one dares to think of you."
"why?"
"Haven't you become the Xu family's son-in-law?"
"Uh."
Zhang Fei suddenly realized, yes!Although I didn't participate in the imperial examination, I still had a soft meal. It's a pity that the Xu family's meal is a little too bland, so I have to work hard on my own!well.
"okay."
Zhao Xu waved his hand, "Don't think about the imperial examination, just your articles and writing style, it's true!"
Zhang Fei said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I think I have a big problem with the imperial examination. It is better to judge people by their appearance than to judge the writing style. Then I will definitely be in high school."
Zhao Xu laughed and said, "That makes sense, next time in class, you can talk about this issue."
"Uh, where did you just say that?"
"Candidates."
"exactly!"
Zhang Fei said: "In my opinion, the primary need of candidates is not to be a son-in-law to the prime minister, but their primary purpose is to pass the imperial examination, which is in the hands of His Majesty.
If their problems in the Legislative Council will directly affect His Majesty's opinion of them, even in the face of the old father-in-law, he will definitely not show mercy.
And based on what I know about those candidates, they are very flamboyant and love to show off. As long as they are allowed to pass, they will definitely do everything possible to make things difficult for the prime minister and officials.
That's how you get fame. "
Zhao Xu nodded slightly.
Zhang Fei hit the rails again while it was hot: "If your Majesty is still worried, you can even randomly select some businessmen who often go to various places to do business, and come in to ask questions, but you can't let the businessmen show up. If they show up, they probably won't dare to ask questions. Let them ask questions behind a curtain."
"That's really feasible!"
Zhao Xu nodded straightly, "In fact, no matter whether it is based on the legal system or not, legislation can be done in this way. It happens that the scientific examination is also held every three years, and it will not add too much burden to the finances."
This emperor's art is not like that old Zhu who holds all the power in his hands. If he wants to do it well, he will only exhaust himself to death. In reality, it is impossible to do it.
The art of governance is always about balance and checks and balances.
Even if Fu Bi and the others wanted to seize the legislative power in order to check and balance the emperor.
sure!
I'm going to find a group of people to stare at you.
Under this legislative system, Zhao Xu didn't need to hold on to the legislative power at all, because if the low-level officials want to be promoted, they must get his approval, and if the candidates want to pass the rank, they must also get his approval. The class he will win over in the future.
If the legislative power is given to you, you will honestly do things well for me.
Isn't this the method of the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, which is to prevent things and control them by music.
"How many ideas are you hiding?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but asked Zhang Fei with a smile.
Zhang Fei was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is really what I just thought of."
"Really?"
"really."
Zhang Fei nodded straight, "To be honest, Your Majesty, I was also inspired by my own class, so I thought of these things. Otherwise, I would not have thought of using them. No, uh, let those candidates join in. It is because they are in the class. Make things difficult for me."
"That's true."
Zhao Xu nodded with a smile, "It seems that being narrow-minded is not necessarily a bad thing!"
"Uh."
Feel sorry!I only posted it at this time. It may be that I have really used my brain too much these days, and I have been caught in the plot of the legal system. I have been thinking and pondering every day for the past half month.
Today I sat blankly all afternoon, completely out of ideas, and I seemed to have forgotten all the foreshadowing before. After dinner, I started to write.
I plan to go out to soak my feet (regularly) now, press a button, and let myself relax.
Don't wait for the chapter in the early morning, and post it together tomorrow afternoon.
Feel sorry!Feel sorry!
