Chapter 305: Crossroads



"Haha...my great contributor is here, please take a seat."

When Zhao Xu saw Zhang Fei, he actually stood up to greet him. There were already fine wine and delicious food prepared on the table, all of which were Zhang Fei's favorites.

If Wang Anshi saw this scene, he would probably feel very envious!

"I pay my respects to your majesty."

Zhang Fei hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

Zhao Xuyang pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "I have told you so many times that if there are no outsiders around, you don't need to be so polite. Besides, you are returning victorious today."

"I dare not! I dare not!"

Zhang Fei said modestly: "I am really ashamed to say this. The whole incident was just caused by my desire for revenge. Your Majesty allowed me to do whatever I wanted and did not blame me. I am already grateful to you. How dare I take credit for it?"

Zhao Xu smiled happily and said, "Your desire for revenge is really a good idea. It can be regarded as a way to vent my anger. Sit down! Sit down! There is no need to be restrained between you and me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

...

...

The king and the people sat opposite each other and toasted each other.

Zhao Xu said with great interest: "In fact, I have wanted to talk to you for a long time. Regarding the situation of street invasion in the city, many ministers have made suggestions, but in the end they all ended in vain. It has been dragged on until now and is still unresolved. I never thought that you would handle this matter within just one month. This is really incredible to me! What is the trick? I wonder if you can share it with me."

Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "One word, quick!"

"quick?"

"right."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "To put it simply, it's about winning by speed. This kind of thing cannot be delayed and must be resolved quickly. Take those sheds for example. If you don't tear them down, then you are begging him, but if you tear them down, then he is begging you. In this way, the initiative is in our hands, and the next thing will be easier to handle."

Zhao Xu's eyes lit up, and he slapped the table, "I understand, I understand, it's really a good idea to demolish the shed and make him beg you, it's really wonderful! You are using the method of our ancestors in reverse!"

The laws of our ancestors are to prevent dangers and to regulate the twists and turns.

Everything has to be considered carefully. When the prime ministers are responsible for this matter, they will naturally look ahead and behind, and consider it over and over again. It is certain that they will not be able to dismantle it.

The reason for this is that the people are in such a difficult situation that they have no choice but to build shacks on the streets.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is disturbing.

I can easily give ten thousand reasons.

But this was all built before it was demolished.

Once it is demolished, things will become clearer, because the people will then expect compensation from the court, and the initiative will be in the hands of the court.

Since you have something to ask of me, then you must listen to me.

Naturally, there will be no trouble.

"I dare not! I dare not!"

Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "In fact, I have taken advantage of three big advantages. Otherwise, it would be difficult to succeed."

Zhao Xu immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Fei explained: "First, it is the General Police Station. This is a brand-new department. Its powers and constraints are somewhat vague, especially internally, where checks and balances have not yet been formed, resulting in the lack of government orders during this period, so the problem can be solved in a short period of time. If Kaifeng Prefecture is asked to do this, it will probably not be so easy, because the Kaifeng prefecture is not only subject to checks and balances by the Tongpan, but also has many government offices below that can also create resistance, and the dignitaries in the court are omnipresent. .... Second, it is the progress of judicial reform. Currently, the only ones who can check and balance the General Police Station are not the Political Affairs Hall, but the Procuratorate and the Legal Aid Bureau. They have to use the law to check and balance, and trespassing on the street is definitely against the rules, which makes it impossible for them to seek legal means.

That is why, after we demolished the sheds, they could only complain but did not dare to order an investigation into the matter. If they did, they would only shoot themselves in the foot.

The third is the support of your Majesty. Without your Majesty's full support, this would not be possible."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Yes! The execution ability shown by the General Police Department in this matter really shocked me. But you don't have to belittle yourself. If I only need to do this little thing and I can be successful, then I don't have to worry at this time.

Just now, even Master Wang praised you for your insight into human nature. The chain of events is linked together, which forces the other party to think before and after, and ultimately forces them to quickly terminate your service. "

Zhang Fei said shyly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

Zhao Xu suddenly glanced at him and said, "Just an hour ago, Wang Xueshi mentioned you to me, hoping to recruit you to the Regulations Department of the Second Prefecture. What do you think?"

Zhang Fei's expression changed slightly and he frowned. After a while, he secretly glanced at Zhao Xu, only to see that Zhao Xu was looking at him seriously, as if he must get the answer today.

After a while, Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, we have discussed this issue before."

Zhao Xu said: "What you said is that the latent dragon should not be used."

Zhang Fei nodded.

Zhao Xu continued, "But your answer at that time was reserved. I want to get an accurate answer from you now. Do you think the new policy can succeed?"

Zhang Fei remained silent.

Zhao Xu said: "Now that the new policy is about to be promulgated, if it is bound to fail, I will consider it carefully, because this reform is a gamble of everything, and I am afraid that you can hardly feel the risk."

Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Your Majesty, do you know why I was so reserved at that time?"

"Why?"

"I am just worried that His Majesty will consider it at his discretion."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Xu asked in surprise.

Zhang Fei said firmly: "Because the new policy will definitely fail, there is no doubt about it."

Zhao Xu's heart skipped a beat and he almost fainted.

In fact, this was not the first time that the two of them had discussed this issue, but Zhang Fei's advice was always to advise Zhao Xu to make preparations for both situations, and "hidden dragon, do not use it" meant that he should keep one hand hidden.

Zhao Xu also agreed at that time, because it was not a bad thing to keep something in reserve, but he still had high expectations for the new policy and he still hoped that it would succeed.

In other words, he had reservations about Zhang Fei's suggestion.

If Zhang Fei suggested abolishing the new policy, he would definitely not agree. Keeping it in mind would not hinder the implementation of the new policy.

However, as Zhang Fei's talents gradually emerged, Zhao Xu began to waver between Wang Anshi and Zhang Fei. It was not that he did not trust Wang Anshi, but that he thought he should consider Zhang Fei's suggestions more.

Especially after this incident, this feeling is even stronger.

The reason is simple. The better Zhang Fei performs, the more credible his doubts are. … However, Zhang Fei has always been not very optimistic about the new policy, and the new policy is about to be promulgated, which makes him very anxious.

He may not be able to afford to lose this battle.

If they lose, can Qianlong Wuyong turn the tide?

A bold idea even came to his mind: why not use Zhang Fei?

Zhang Fei then said: "Although the new policy is doomed to fail, Your Majesty must spare no effort to support the new policy and make sure it is popularized throughout the country."

Zhao Xu was dumbfounded. What do you want to do? Do you know there is a fire pit ahead, but you still want to push me into it? He asked in great confusion: "Since the new policy is bound to fail, why should I fully support it?"

Zhang Fei smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, have you ever rowed a boat?"

Zhao Xu shook his head.

Zhang Fei asked, "Your Majesty, do you know that if you want the boat to move forward, you have to paddle backwards?"

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Of course I know this."

Zhang Fei said: "That's the truth. Your Majesty fully supports the new policy, but the new policy is doomed to fail. It's like paddling backwards, but as long as there is water underneath, the boat will move forward. The hidden dragon does not use actually has two meanings. The first is to hide yourself at the beginning of the new policy. The second is to reform during the reform process, and conceal it from the world so that no one can detect it."

"Changing the law in the process of changing the law?"

Zhao Xu asked in confusion, "In other words, you are using Wang Xueshi's new policy as a cover?"

"No!"

Zhang Fei said: "Mr. Wang's new policy is to establish the soil for the new policy. It really exists. That is why Your Majesty must fully support the new policy and promote it to spread the soil for reform throughout the country."

Zhao Xu asked: "What is the real new policy?"

Zhang Fei replied: "The people are not taxed more and the state has abundant financial resources."

"???"

......

When Zhang Fei returned home, it was already dark.

Just as I got off the carriage, I suddenly heard the sound of horse bells coming from the front.

No way, there are people in this world who work harder than me, this is ridiculous. Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and walked forward.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the door, and Xu Zhiqian came out of the carriage, looking a little tired.

"ah!"

Seeing Zhang Fei standing next to the car, he couldn't help but ask with a little surprise: "Why are you back?"

Zhang Fei reached out his hand, helped Xu Zhiqian down from the carriage, and said with a smile: "I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Xu Zhiqian hesitated for a moment, "Bad news."

Zhang Fei said: "The bad news is that you are laid off."

"Um?"

Xu Zhiqian didn't understand the reason.

Zhang Fei said: "From today on, you are no longer responsible for the tasks of the vegetable market. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Xu Zhiqian was surprised and asked, "Why?"

Zhang Fei said: "Shouldn't you ask me what the good news is?"

Xu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, "What's the good news?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "The good news is that I have completed my service, and that is why you are laid off."

"What do you mean by completed service?" Xu Zhiqian said angrily, "They are clearly trying to use this opportunity to kick you out of the police station."

Zhang Fei said: "Isn't this what I'm pursuing?"

"but...."

Xu Zhiqian said: "But if you leave, all our efforts will be wasted."

Zhang Fei said, "Wrong! It's a complete success. Now that things have come to this, they can't turn the tables. The reason they drove me away was not because they hoped that all our previous efforts would be wasted, but to prevent it from happening again. However, if I continue to stay in the police station, they will definitely try every means to continue to obstruct the street tax and not give me the opportunity to make any corrections."

Xu Zhiqian said frustratedly: "That being said, the rectification has not been completed yet."

Zhang Fei said: "Let others do this! We have more important things to do."

Xu Zhiqian asked: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Charity organization."
