Peng Sanli, who was formerly in charge of the county wharf, heard the summons and entered the county hall and saluted Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi raised his head from the desk and asked, "The restaurant you used to manage has more than 70 houses, which is the third largest store in the county. A few days ago, it was sold for 500 knots. You really told me, is the price too low?"

Peng Sanli wandered for a while, and saw Wang Anshi staring at him, looking unyielding, so he had to answer: "Returning to the official, the price of 500 guan is lower. There is a near dock, and the officials who travel to and from the two capitals by boat in the river do not go to the inn, so they will rest nearby. This item is less expensive every year, and it is priced according to the previous business, but it is less."

Wang Anshi nodded: "Five hundred stags are definitely less, and they are ridiculously small! Tell me, how much should the store cost?"

Peng Sanli thought for a while and calculated with his fingers: "After 70 rooms, even if you rent out fifty rooms every day, each room will cost 20 cents, and you will have a one-day net collection of houses. That is the residence in Linhe, and the housing prices are more than other places. In addition, the goods yard next to you have two or three cents of profit per day. In a month, this is more than one hundred cents of profit. In addition, the customers in the store drink and eat, and two or three cents of money are recorded a day. After all, if you do well in one month, you will have two or three cents of money. In the past, because you often receive officials and many official duties, the government's industries do not charge money, so there is only a less than one hundred cents of interest."

This figure is almost the same as what Wang Anshi learned. If the business is a little better in a month, the income can exceed 200 guan. In the past, because there were a large number of official personnel who did not spend money, they not only could not receive housing money, but also had to provide them with food and drink. The net profit per month was less than 50 guan. Peng Sanli said that the monthly income was less than 100 guan, which was his account. In fact, because officials shared the weight, they only entered Gong County with less than half. The price was 500 guan, which was calculated based on the net profit per month of 30 guan.

The price difference between this is amazing. The profit per month is 200 guan, and the selling price is about 3,000 guan. This is a mistake, and more than 2,000 guan will be gone. How much is the two taxes in Gong County? For a county, this is a huge sum of money.

Peng Sanli said again: "This time, it was sold together with the house and the land, not just the di shop. The di shop covers an area of ​​about three or four acres, not far from the county town, and is close to the wharf. The land price is very expensive, and it will always cost 50 cents. With more than seventy rooms, it will be worth 3 or 400 cents. In this way, the price of 50 cents is extremely cheap, so everyone snatched it as soon as the list was announced."

Wang Anshi only went to Gong County for two or three months, and spent his time renovating ditches and managing farmland, and rarely concerned about industry and commerce. In recent days, he has started to check various books and inquire about prices, and he has a general idea. Gong County is a prosperous county nearby, but the land price is the same as other places on Jingxi Road, and it is not high. In general, farmland trading, unless there are convenient ditches to ensure profits from drought and flood, it will only cost 300 to 400 yuan per acre. Only those that are extremely rich and convenient to water can be sold for more than once. Compared with the city, the farmland of the Song Dynasty was very cheap, and even so, there were still large areas of desolation.

The commercial land near the wharf is much more expensive, about one acre of land costs more than ten cents. At this time, the cost of building a house was about five cents, and the real estate with land and property was about four hundred cents. After all, after deducting the fixed assets of real estate and land, the huge dial was actually sold for less than one hundred cents.

This is the most outrageous industry. Wang Anshi decided to start a trial from here and deal with those bold officials. He was greedy for more than two thousand coins at once, enough to cut off a few people's heads.

The criminal law of the Song Dynasty generally took leniency as the principle, but there were two crimes not listed here, which were more severe than the previous dynasties. One was the crime of robbery, the other was the crime of corruption and bribery. The crime of abuse of law and stolen goods was more than fifteen stolen.

During the Taizong Dynasty, many officials were sentenced to beheading. After the Zhenzong Dynasty, they were generally not sentenced to death, but as long as they were confirmed to be guilty of stolen money or embezzled public coins, the punishment was still extremely heavy. Therefore, officials at this time were mostly using the minister’s pockets, and they mostly used various means to move the money into their pockets. It is still very rare to really dare to attack the officials who were in charge. In particular, civil officials mostly used the gray area, and few directly used corruption and abuse of power.

The direct reason for Fan Zhongyan's failure in Qingli New Deal in history was the incident of Su Shunqin and others. At that time, Su Shunqin was in high spirits and gathered a group of young literati around him to talk about politics. One day, he used the money from selling old paper to attract people with similar intentions to drink together, and to recruit prostitutes to accompany him. Because of his extraordinary words, he was reported and the censor Wang Gongchen took the opportunity to punish him severely. Involved by this, Su Shunqin's father-in-law Du Yan resigned, and many people were forced to leave Beijing. The Qingli New Deal soon failed.

Although Su Shunqin's accomplice Ouyang Xiu and others later gained the right to speak and described the matter as an unjust case, thinking it was a ****. In fact, according to the law, Su Shunqin embezzled more than 50 chunks of public funds, and the culprit robbed himself, and the crime was actually a death sentence. In the end, he was just demoted to the people, and the specific circumstances had been considered and the punishment was reduced.

Whether it is Fan Zhongyan or Wang Anshi, one of the important reasons for the failure of reform and reform is to invoke the accomplice as an official. The one who echoes me is a gentleman, and the one who opposes me is a villain, turning the dispute between politics and affairs into a dispute between gentlemen and villain. In the division between gentlemen and villain, the laws and regulations of the country are ignored and act completely according to the party. The more the dispute between gentlemen and villain is prosperous, the more severe the laws and regulations of the country are trampled on, and eventually it is too uncontrollable.

Systems and policies should be adapted to local conditions and to the times. When the pros and cons are revealed, they should be changed. If you have mastered the absolute truth, you will be able to do it forever. When you are proud, you will be killed by the opposition, turn black and white, and humiliate them all. Then one day the situation will change and you will face revenge.

Xu Ping was cautious in promoting reform because he was afraid that this situation would happen. He did not look for his fellow travelers, but set up a system to investigate according to policies and did not engage in treacherous parties. The word "public" and "rectified" are the foundation that can be established in politics.

Su Shun Qinen became an official and later became a Jinshi. It was when he was full of energy and was demoted to the people because of embezzling 50 chunks of public funds. It can be seen that the punishment for corruption and abuse of power was punished at this time. Later, this was called a political struggle, which was the result of the changes in the political situation. In this era, no one felt that such a case was wrong.

A mansion sold a store and was greedy for more than 2,000 yuan. As long as the case was settled, it would not be enough to cut all the officials in charge. Wang Anshi did not investigate this case. If it was exposed by the state or the Transportation Commissioner of the above-mentioned state, Wang Anshi would also be punished.

After checking the accounts again, Wang Anshi said to Peng Sanli: "According to the law, if you report this matter first, you will always reward you with one or two hundred trump cards. Nowadays, officials in the yamen are scarce and it is not easy to do things. How about you write a first complaint?"

Peng Sanli was startled and shook his hand repeatedly: "How dare I do this? The one who bought the residence was led by Zhang Ai Si's brother Wu Xiaoliu, who was very powerful in this county. If I sue it, it would not have hurt my life!"

Wang Anshi said: "More than two thousand guan, which force is the word "death"! Are you afraid of death?" (https:)
