Chapter 315 The Way of Supervision

What is the highest secret of this capital?

Is it primitive accumulation?

Is it a monopoly?

Is it exploitation?

No.

These are just the basic operations of capital. The highest meaning of capital is charity.

Just as the Ma family said, when capitalism came to the world, it was covered in blood and filth from head to toe.

It is evil in itself, and if it is not disguised as good, it will soon perish.

The most powerful capitalist in the world will make him feel that he is a good person.

...

...

When Zhang Fei founded a charity, his purpose was never to help others, because he knew very well that charity could not solve any problems.

All he needs is the name of "charity".

This title can package many things that are normally impossible to do in a glamorous and attractive way so as not to arouse suspicion.

Zhang Fei now really needs this agency to complete the layout in advance in areas that he cannot reach, so that it can have a miraculous effect in the future.

However, at this moment, the officials in the court completely forgot about Zhang Fei. In the past, when they saw that the charity organization was so prosperous, they would have made things difficult for Zhang Fei and disgusted him.

But now they really don’t have the time to do so, because the “big villain” Wang Anshi has already shown his fangs.

Based on the principle that everything is difficult at the beginning, the opposition voices in the court were getting louder and louder.

They hoped to put maximum pressure on Wang Anshi in the initial stage to prevent him from doing whatever he wanted.

The conservatives are very powerful. They control the three major state supervisory departments: the Court of Censors, the Imperial Censorate, and the Court of Judicial Review.

However, this snake has no head. Wen Yanbo was in charge of the Censorate, Zhao Yan was in charge of the Court of Remonstrance, and Sima Guang was in charge of the Court of Justice.

These three bigwigs all held reservations about the Equalization of Transport System. They were dissatisfied with some aspects, but they also approved of some aspects. The key point was that they all believed that Wang Anshi's listing of bad policies one by one and then making corresponding revisions was reasonable and well-founded, while they lacked specific evidence.

However, many officials firmly believed that the Equalized Transport System would give the Shipping Envoy unprecedented power, and there would be no department to supervise it, which would undermine the foundation of the Song Dynasty.

Officials such as Liu Shu and Qi Hui seized every opportunity to put pressure on Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo, hoping that they would take the lead in standing up against it.

Sima Guang was also in a dilemma. He held a meeting at the Court of Criminal Justice today. He was supposed to summarize the pros and cons of the public security, procuratorial and judicial systems with a group of judicial officials and prepare to formulate a plan to gradually promote it to local levels.

But at the beginning, the topic of discussion was diverted by officials such as Liu Shu and Qi Hui.

They said, we are so cautious and consider everything carefully, and consider letting the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments supervise each other, but Wang Anshi does not do so. What is the point of doing so?

Sima Guang was so angry that he wanted to curse. The progress was already very slow, and you guys didn't go all out to implement it at the local level as soon as possible, but were still wasting your time here arguing.

At this time, Xu Zun suddenly said: "This is not supervision."

Everyone tilted their heads to take a look, and the disgust on their faces was evident on the paper.

This is the weird one again!

Oh my god!

When can we get this weirdo to agree with us?

Sima Guang asked, "What do you mean by Xu Si's words?"

Xu Zun said: "The supervision they are talking about is to divide power in order to achieve checks and balances."

You have made a good summary! Liu Shu immediately asked, "Is this wrong?"

Xu Zun replied: "It depends on what the matter is. Everyone agrees that the current tribute system is bad. No matter what method you use to change it, you must first unify power. Otherwise, it is impossible to manage such a complex matter in an orderly manner within a year without setting up an official office to manage it.

If power is divided, it will only lead to people being idle and incompetent, just like many government offices now. It is better not to change it. The way to supervise is to supervise them to do things well, not to make them not do things.

Whether you agree or not, I am not very knowledgeable and dare not say much, but if I use supervision as an excuse, I will not be able to gain a foothold. "

Sima Guang nodded slightly.

Liu Shu argued: "Xu Sishi's words make sense. The way to supervise is to supervise them to do their job well. I dare to ask Xu Sishi, who can supervise such a complicated matter? Do you know what Tokyo needs? Do you know what the situation is in various places? In the end, it's all up to the shipping envoy to decide, which will inevitably breed corruption."

Xu Zun smiled and said, "From Wang Xueshi's perspective, his job is to eliminate bad policies. As for how to supervise, it has nothing to do with Wang Xueshi. Wang Xueshi has never said that the Censorate and the Court of Remonstrance are not allowed to supervise. He has also not petitioned the government to abolish all supervisory offices.

The problem of being unable to supervise is that the person in charge is incompetent, not Mr. Wang's fault. We cannot ask Mr. Wang to accommodate the person in charge and formulate national policies with supervision as the priority. This is simply ridiculous.

As supervisory officials and law enforcement officials, we should find ways to supervise, rather than asking the other party to cooperate with our supervision. How is this different from playing tricks and giving things away privately? "

Xu Zun said that he was not good at litigation, which was really modesty. In fact, his thinking was also unique in the court.

His remarks on supervision stunned Liu Shu and others.

This supervision is passive, not active. It makes the subject stand in front of you, motionless, and asks you to stare at him. Can this be called supervision?

Wherever this person goes, you follow him and keep an eye on him. This is called supervision.

The Censorate, the Court of Remonstrance, and the Court of Judicial Review all had the power to supervise the new law. If they failed to do so, it was because they lacked the ability, and Wang Anshi was not in charge of supervision.

Qi Hui was unable to convince Xu Zun, so he asked, "So, Xu Sishi supports Wang Jiefu's reform?"

Xu Zun immediately said, "I am just discussing the matter at hand. I also suggest strengthening supervision of the new law, but supervision is our responsibility and has nothing to do with Wang Jiefu. We should find a way to supervise, rather than breaking his legs just because he runs too fast and we can't catch up. This will only make us look incompetent."

Sima Guang nodded and said, "Xu Si's words make sense. We should find a way to supervise him."

Liu Shu immediately said: "But there are many inappropriate aspects of the new law."

Xu Zun remained silent.

In a training ground in the west of the city, there was a goal at each end of a playground usually used for military training. Twenty-four idiots were chasing a small ball frantically.

There were a dozen people standing on the sidelines watching.

"It's in! It's in! It's finally in!"

"good!"

I saw two young men jumping and cheering.

Suddenly, a whistle sounded.

Zhang Fei ran towards the person who scored the goal, grabbed him, and yelled, "Do you have a brain? I've told you so many times that when you pass the ball, your body cannot exceed the defender's position. You're really stupid. You almost blocked the opponent's goalkeeper. Are you kidding me?"

The player was dissatisfied and said, "What kind of rule is this? It's unreasonable."

"Yeah! How dare you talk back to the referee?"

Zhang Fei immediately took out a red card.

"What do you mean?"

"roll!"

"Third brother, third brother, I'll take his place."

Ma Xiaoyi outside the venue said excitedly.

Zhang Fei turned around and glanced at him. "If you can still take over, can this still be called a punishment? Also, stop yelling there. Keep going!"

"But we are short of one person!"

"Who asked that idiot to question this referee?"

"You idiot, a corner kick is for you to kick the ball out, not to carry it."

"Referee! That guy pulled my clothes."

“No.”

"Are you blind?"

"roll!"

“Ouch!”

"What are you doing? Kicking the ball or kicking someone?"

"He just pulled our man and you didn't care, but now you care when we kick him. This is outrageous."

"Get out! Okay, okay, take a break first. You idiots really make me mad."

Zhang Fei wiped his sweat while walking to the sidelines, sat down on a chair, picked up a large bowl of water, and poured it into his mouth, panting and cursing: "Damn, I didn't expect being a referee to be so tiring. My voice is hoarse from shouting."

"Zhang San!"

Xu Zhiqian hurried over and said, "What kind of football is this? It's not good at all. It's not entertaining at all."

Fan Zheng also came over and said anxiously, "Sanlang, I think what Madam Xu said makes sense. If you invest your money in this, you may lose everything. This is not as good as Cuju, and no one will watch it."

After watching for a long time, no one entered the venue legally. I had no idea what those people were doing. They were just using brute force, with no skills at all. It was not at all entertaining to watch.

“I think it’s quite interesting.”

Ma Xiaoyi suddenly jumped forward.

Cao Dongdong also said: "I also think that football is more interesting than Cuju."

Fan Zheng asked: "What's interesting?"

Cao Dongdong chuckled and said, "Kicking Cuju back and forth can be quite boring sometimes. Football is different. You can pull people and bump into them. It's quite interesting."

Xu Zhiqian blinked at Zhang Fei, as if to say, you won't believe these two guys, and you won't believe me and Fan Zheng.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Let's give it a try. When they become proficient in the game, I will hold a charity match and see how everyone performs.

It doesn’t cost much.”

Fan Zheng nodded and said, "Okay! Since Sanlang is so confident, let's give it a try."

Xu Zhiqian said: "I think people will laugh at me then."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "A smile makes you look ten years younger. Being able to make the audience laugh is also a kind of success!"

Ma Xiaoyi chuckled and said, "Third brother, I have to go on stage then."

Cao Dongdong immediately said: "I will also play on the field myself."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "No problem."

Just then, a patrolman quickly stepped into the playground and said, "Deputy Superintendent, I have something important to report."

"What is it?"

Cao Dongdong asked.

The patrolman immediately whispered something in Cao Dongdong's ear.

"There is such a thing."

Cao Dongdong blinked and immediately said to Zhang Fei and the others, "You didn't buy peaches today, did you?"

Fan Zheng asked, "Why does Yanei ask this?"

Cao Dongdong said: "I just heard that there are many rotten peaches in the market, and some citizens have diarrhea after eating them."

Zhang Fei frowned and said, "There is such a thing."
