Lu Huiqing's intention was so sincere that Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel sympathy when he thought about the relationship between the two of them for more than ten years.
In fact, officials have been honest and incorruptible, and their colleagues have known this for many years. Zhang Yue believed that Lu Huiqing at least had no problem with his ethics, but his brothers seemed to have some problems.
Zhang Yue is not willing to take the road to death. At the same time, the political struggle among the top leaders of the Song Dynasty is not a matter of life and death, but they will leave the other party with dignity. Even if Zhang Yue brings out the evidence of the crime and cures Lu Huiqing, he can still blame his younger brothers. If you go away for a few years, you may never come back.
Zhang Yue thought for a while and said: "Daqen, I am not against the new law. It's just that the new law has been implemented for nearly six years, and it can be said to be a mixed bag of good and bad. The most controversial thing among the people is the market transaction law. I dare to ask whether this law can be postponed. ?”
Lu Huiqing was startled, then shook his head decisively after a moment and said: "This method cannot be slowed down. You should try another one to save me."
Zhang Yueqiang resisted the impulse of contempt, and then said: "Forget it, then the green crop laws in various states and counties can be implemented by a joint venture between government and businessmen like the Exchange?"
Lu Huiqing said: "A joint venture between government and businessmen? That's a variation of the simple law. It gives the villain an opportunity to make money. If the local tyrants take advantage of the people, wouldn't they be better than the government? This won't work either. Just try another one!"
Zhang Yue cursed in his heart after hearing this, "Are you, Lu Huiqing, here to entertain me?"
Zhang Yue said: "Then the subordinates will be exempted from the service fee! This shouldn't be difficult!"
Lu Huiqing listened to the three conditions mentioned by Zhang Yue, and ranked them from difficult to easy.
Lu Huiqing thought for a while and said, "This method can work."
Zhang Yue said happily after hearing this: "This can also reduce the people's tax a little bit. Zhang thanked Da Shen for the people."
Lu Huiqing nodded and said, "I don't dare to take it seriously."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yue said: "Then I'll take my leave."
Lu Huiqing watched Zhang Yue go, and after a long while he said: "My reform is also for the common people! It is a woman's benevolence for Zhang to implement it."
…
Accounting Department of the Third Division.
It is located in the old building of Sansi Salt and Iron Hall.
Countless files filled the place, and Su Zhe and twenty or thirty other officials were buried in the room doing audits.
Zhang Yue sent Su Che, while Han Jiang sent Zhang Duan to the Accounting Department. Zhang Duan was Han Jiang's confidant and worked with Su Che and Lu Huiqing in the Ordinance Department of the Third Division.
Most of the people in the accounting department were Zhang Duan and Su Che, who decided after discussion. Han Jiang asked Zhang Yuetong to promote the three accounting departments, but the people who served in the department were mainly his confidants.
However, both the government and the opposition strongly agreed with the establishment of the Third Accounting Department.
After learning that Han Jiang and Zhang Yue were going to use the Third Accounting Department to cut redundant expenses, many officials had high hopes, especially Fu Bi, Sima Guang, Wang Gongchen and others in Luoyang wrote to Han Jiang, encourage and support this matter.
Fan Zuyu, who had a falling out with Zhang Yue, also expressed in a letter that he was young and ignorant at the time.
Zhang Yue understood, however, that there was no need to take this too seriously. The old party might just want to provoke a fight between Han Jiang and Lu Huiqing. Sima Guang and Fu Bi were both moral gentlemen, but there was no such thing as political gentlemen.
In addition to them, Zhang Yue also let Peng Jingyi join the Accounting Department for any assignment.
The main say in the Accounting Department of the Three Accounting Departments still lies with Han Jiang. The other party is Zhao Wenxiang, and Zhang Yue did not argue with him. For Han Jiang, without these Accounting Departments of the Three Accounting Departments, Lu Huiqing would almost be the one in the political affairs hall.
Empty him.
In the past few days, Lu Huiqing has changed from her normal routine. She talks to Zhang Yue every day about changing the exemption law. They talk for an hour or two every day, and she is very considerate of him.
Lu Huiqing also listened to his own opinion and began to classify the subordinate households.
In fact, this is also the unanimous opinion of Zhang Yue and Su Shi. Su Shi believed that the lower households should be divided into five grades, the fourth grade households should be divided into upper and lower grades, and the fifth grade households should be further divided into upper, middle and lower grades.
Lu Huiqing divided the fourth-class households into upper and lower classes, and the fifth-class households were also divided into upper and lower classes. At the same time, he spread the news that the lower-class households of the fifth-class households would be exempted from the service fee, while the upper-class households would only be levied a small fee.
The fourth-class households also decreased in sequence.
This move made Zhang Yue see Lu Huiqing's sincerity.
Zhang Yue was also a Hanlin bachelor and an attendant, so he had no time to go to the accounting department, so he had to entrust Su Che and Peng Jingyi to take charge of the operation of the accounting department.
Peng Jingyi entered the Accounting Department of the Third Division and sat down to eat his dinner. Peng Jingyi brought two large cakes, rolled up the leek and pork, sat on the chair, chewed and looked around the room.
There are more than 20 writers sitting in the room, working overtime to calculate the accounts. In addition to this room, there are two rooms in the courtyard, and so many writers are sitting in them. They are working day and night to check the accounts.
Su Che, who was in charge of this matter, was very dedicated. Peng Jingyi originally thought that the other party was just an ordinary scholar, but he did not expect that the other party was actually a ruthless person.
Su Che spent ten days in the Accounting Department of the Third Division without clothes. When he felt sleepy, he would lie down behind a bookcase for a while, and he would deal with everything casually while eating.
Peng Jingyi did underestimate Su Che. In another time and space history, it was Su Che's impeachment that caused Cai Que, Han Zhen, and Zhang Dun to step down. Even Lu Huiqing, who was known to be unable to escape the liquidation, invited himself to be a palace observer to avoid
When he was accused of being relegated to foreigners, he was also severely stepped on by Su Che.
Su Che during the Yuan Dynasty was a sharp sword for the old party!
This made Peng Jingyi not dare to be careless at all and accompany Su Che here. But it has to be said that the person Zhang Yue entrusted to him, Peng Jingyi, put on his clothes and slept for a while. After the third watch, he woke up and carried the
Lantern went to the Accounting Department for a tour as usual.
However, during Peng Jingyi's inspection today, he discovered something was wrong. In the past, there was an old doorman who lived in the duty room at the back door of the Accounting Department and was responsible for guarding the door. But today, after calling for a long time, the old doorman didn't answer.
Peng Jingyi thought to himself that this person might have been too asleep or had gone out to pay respects.
It's almost the end of the year, and the weather is indeed unusually cold.
Peng Jingyi walked to the side door, opened it and saw two soldiers warming wine in front of a small stove.
When the other party saw Peng Jingyi, he immediately jumped up and was startled at first, and said in a flattering manner: "Peng Yuhou, would you like to have a drink too?"
Peng Jingyi cursed: "Where is Sansi and you dare to light a fire here?"
When the other party heard this, he quickly said: "Hunter Yu, please spare your life. Look, it's very cold today. How can you survive the middle of the night if you don't drink some hot wine?"
Another person said: "Yes, the villain will stay by this fireside, and he will never let any sparks escape."
Peng Jingyi said: "That's good, I'll forgive you. You can go and drink on your own. Tomorrow you will each go to the class leader to collect fifty pieces."
"Yu Hou... have mercy on me!"
While Peng Jingyi was speaking, he suddenly smelled the smell of medicine and asked, "Who is cooking the medicine?"
A soldier said: "It's from the Salt and Iron Hall next door. I heard that Judge Song ordered people to cook it all night, which made the yard smell like medicine residue."
Another soldier repeatedly echoed: "The people in the Salt and Iron Hall told themselves to ban fire, but they couldn't control it themselves. It's really not a thing."
To the other party's implication, this is nothing to us.
Peng Jingyi said seriously: "Follow me to the Salt and Iron Hall immediately."
After saying that, Peng Jingyi led two soldiers and drove straight to the Salt and Iron Hall. When they got to the courtyard gate, they knocked on the door and asked, "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"
But there was no answer in the hall.
When Peng Jingyi took a step back and was about to shout again, he saw that a fire was already burning behind the hall.
Peng Jingyi was shocked and shouted: "It's gone! It's gone!"
