Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 324: Losing money and making money?

Chapter 324 Losing money and making money?

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang had both recruited Zhang Fei before, but Zhang Fei never made a statement and declined for various reasons. The reason was that he hoped to get the support of both conservatives and reformers.

In the end, his foundation is still too weak, but his ambition is not small. He must get the support of reform and conservatives before he can make a difference.

Speaking of which, it's really hard to choose between these two factions.

Currently speaking, Wang Anshi's faction is obviously gaining power, but it lacks the rectification of officials. If they follow Wang Anshi, there will be a lot of troubles in the future. If he is not careful, he will also be involved.

Although Sima Guang's faction is not dominant for the time being, the conservative faction is full of talents, with strong soldiers and horses, and a deeper foundation.

The best way is to take all of them.

Zhao Xu hides behind, just cover for him.

In front of the procuratorate.

"Second brother, are you okay?"

Seeing Su Shi coming out of the house, Su Zhe immediately greeted him, looked at his brother, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine, I'm really sorry for worrying my third brother."

The words were right for Su Zhe, but Su Shi's eyes drifted to Sima Guang who was at the side, as if he was right for Sima Guang as well.

Fan Chunren cupped his hands to Sima Guang and said, "I'm really sorry, Chunren disappointed everyone."

He accepted this account, and after being interrogated by Xu Zun, he also realized that what he had done was not a qualified prosecutor, and he was willing to take any responsibility for it.

Sima Guang sighed: "Actually, I can't blame you. To tell the truth, I haven't considered this point. This matter has also benefited me a lot. This public prosecution law is far more difficult than we imagined. If we want to To defend the law, you must give up many things.”

Fan Chunren frowned upon hearing this.

During this period, he has been thinking about this issue.

Compared with the traditional legalists, there is a huge difference.

In the final analysis, Legalism is still the way of governing the country. If it is from the standpoint of Legalism, there is nothing wrong with them saying this.

Legalism itself is a political position, a political idea.

But with the establishment of the Public Prosecution Law, this law has become the bottom line of governing the country, not the way of governing the country.

When you stay in the public security department, what you defend is the law.

Put the law first in everything, and you can't let your standpoint dictate your choice. Once the subjective standpoint guides the judiciary, the problem is really big, and the same mistakes will inevitably be repeated.

Seeing Fan Chunren's frustrated face, Sima Guang couldn't help asking, "But do you still have the confidence to continue serving as the prosecutor?"

Su Shi immediately said: "Yes."

"Brother."

Su Zhe quickly stopped Su Shi with his eyes.

He felt that his brother's character was really not suitable for the strict public security law.

Su Shi said very seriously: "If I shrink back from this, what else can I do in the future, and this lesson will be for nothing."

Fan Chunren nodded and said: "Zi Zhan is right, and this lesson makes me want to continue to be the prosecutor."

When he realized that this public prosecutor's law was defending the bottom line, he was full of longing for this public prosecutor's law.

Because this has never been done before.

Rao is the stern and selfless Bao Zheng. In many matters, he has an obvious political stance. He even wished to fly to Dengzhou immediately to take up his post.

Sima Guang nodded and said, "Remember, you are here to build the Public Procuratorate, which has nothing to do with the New Deal."

Su Shi smiled and said: "I think that we are here to help Wang Jiefu reform."

Sima Guang was stunned for a moment, then he said: "If you can think like this, then I can rest assured."

Su Shi immediately resented and said: "Actually, I have always thought so, but Wang Jiefu refused to listen to people's advice."

Sima Guang sighed: "If he is willing to listen to persuasion, it will not be your turn to persuade him."

Su Shi looked at Sima Guang, "Isn't it the same for Bachelor Sima?"

".?"

On the second day, the Zhengshitang immediately issued a decree announcing the outcome of the case.

And this is why Zhao Xu invited all the prime ministers to participate in the meeting. If he made the order unilaterally, it would definitely attract opposition from many people.

Because in the eyes of many people, this is Wang Anshi attacking political opponents, and it is Wang Anshi playing tricks. If the procuratorate still had the power to investigate and set up the Second Government Regulations Division, they would have gone there long ago.

Many ministers are very dissatisfied with this result.

But if the prime ministers agree, at least the situation can be stabilized.

With Fan Chunren, Su Shi, Gu Ji and others about to leave Beijing, Wang Anshi really got off to a fantastic start.

Be aware that this is a process of ebb and flow.

Because of this case, many officials began to fall to the reformists, and the balance of power between the two sides began to change.

Wang Anshi is currently short of manpower, because the equalization method requires a lot of manpower to support it. Before, all places remained the same, and a fixed annual income was enough. Not many people were needed, but now it not only depends on the situation to collect taxes, but also has to go Buy cheap and sell expensive everywhere, which may require more than ten times more officials than before.

This is why Su Shi thinks that Wang Anshi acted too hastily, and this move will aggravate the disaster of redundant officials.

But Wang Anshi doesn't care about these at all. After all, his idea is to open source. He thinks it can make more money for the country. He almost appoints one, and he doesn't care about everyone's investigation. As long as you support the New Deal, this will lead to more people falling to the New Deal.

Because it's so easy to get a job here, if you go to please Sima Guang, Sima Guangniao won't bother them.

In fact, this is also related to the political ideology of both parties. Conservatives pursue righteousness first, so they attach great importance to personal moral character.

On the other hand, the reformers put profit first, and they don't care so much about personal morality.

That's why, in the end, the progressives collapsed from within, while the conservatives were very united.

No matter what, Wang Anshi was so excited at this time, and after a while, he became strong and strong.

Zhang Fei came to the east gate in a carriage, and when he was about to leave the city gate, he met Sima Guang walking back slowly.

"Scholar Sima."

Zhang Fei jumped out of the carriage, "Has Mr. Fan gone already?"

"Just left soon."

Sima Guang nodded, and said again: "Because there are too many people seeing off, I didn't join in the fun. If you want to chase, you can catch up right away."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to be scolded at home."

Actually, he didn't come here to deliver it on purpose, but he hoped that Fan Chunren would send a letter to Fang Yun, and take care of him there by the way.

Sima Guang asked back: "Are you still afraid of being scolded?"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Instead of being scolded, I might as well leave it to Gu Si."

Sima Guang said with a chuckle: "Do you still remember where we first talked in detail?"

"South Gate?"

"Yes, it is Wang Wenshan."

"It seems to be."

"Offending you really doesn't end well!" Sima Guang said with a half-smile.

Zhang Fei shook his head: "It's not to offend me, but to bully me, and even to put me to death. If they don't leave, it may be me."

Sima Guang was noncommittal, and asked again: "Has Wang Jiefu ever looked for you?"

Zhang Fei said: "It was Lu Huiqing who came to find me."

Sima Guang asked: "Then when do you plan to leave?"

Zhang Fei said: "At least it will be next year. I still have a lot of things to deal with here. Besides, I have nothing to do now. After all, the new law will not be implemented there until next year."

Sima Guang nodded: "I don't care when you go, but if you go here, it will definitely be a fierce battle, you have to be very careful."

Zhang Fei frowned and said, "What does Bachelor Sima say?"

Sima Guang heheed twice, "Look at what kind of people Wang Jiefu found. Almost all of them are speculators. Once such people are reused, they will inevitably make trouble everywhere, do whatever they want, and will never abide by the law." Fa, you will be busy then."

If everyone is a gentleman, then my whole plan will become meaningless. Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I just like promoting good and eliminating evil."

In fact, the imperial court did not order them to leave Beijing immediately, but Fan Chunren and Su Shi rushed to take office.

Gu Ji stayed at home for a few days before leaving Beijing reluctantly today.

Halfway on the road, before leaving the city, I suddenly heard someone outside the car saying: "Shopkeeper Liu, I heard that there is another news today."

A flash of anger flashed in Gu Ji's eyes, and he opened the curtain slightly, only to see a scholar asking the shopkeeper of a restaurant, after hesitating for a moment, he ordered his servant to ask for a copy.

After getting the newspaper, Gu Ji was a little afraid to open it, because he was afraid that the content of the article might be related to him.

Being brave enough to open it, Gu Ji heaved a sigh of relief.

It turned out that the newspaper did not mention this matter at all, but said that the charity organization would hold a charity football match, and the two participating parties were the General Police Department VS the guard horse.

Whoever scores a goal, the charity will donate 100 pennies for charity and donate winter supplies to the poor.

At the same time, the charitable organization will also donate 1,000 guan to the government office where the winner is located.

"Charity?"

Gu Ji frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly called out: "Qing'er."

"Grandpa, what are your orders?" Gu Shaoqing hurried over on horseback.

Gu Ji said: "You go back immediately and ask someone to donate fifty hectares of land to this charity."

Gu Shaoqing was surprised and said: "Grandpa, why is this?"

Gu Ji saw Gu Shaoqing's expression, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Forget it, I won't leave today, I will arrange it myself."

Going to Yizhou, Gu Ji has no idea what will happen.

In this precarious time, he also needs to leave an extra way out for himself.

However, Gu Ji is by no means the only one who thinks so.

There are even Shen Huaixiao, Du Xiu, and other officials who are about to leave Beijing. They all choose to donate part of their land to charity.

Wang Anshi won a big victory, and at the same time they lost power, they were really panicked, so they had to leave more escape routes for themselves.

At the same time, many wealthy businessmen also think so.

Coincidentally, the autumn tax just happens to be collected recently.

There is indeed no tax on land donated to charities.

There has been a surge in land donations to charities in recent days.

It will soon break through a thousand hectares.

In addition to this issue of the news, such a large-scale donation and a huge momentum have never been seen before. The limelight of this charity organization is like no other.

It directly stole the limelight of the New Deal.

Guard horse.

Wang Chao entered the room angrily, and asked a general angrily: "Our bodyguards competed with the General Police Station, why I didn't know in advance, can any of you explain to me."

One of the generals said: "Cao Yanei found Xu Yuhou and borrowed some people to go there, just to play a ball. We dare not disturb Ma Shuai for such trivial matters."

"Small things!"

Wang Chao stared at him: "Have you forgotten that the establishment of the police station made our guard Ma so embarrassed at that time, and now we have to look at the faces of their policemen even when we walk. They clearly borrowed this Race to humiliate our guard horses."

"That's not the case. I heard that they all practice together, and there is no difference in treatment. Our people even have an advantage."

"Really?"

Wang Chao asked.

"Most of those policemen are former Yaqian soldiers. Among them, Cao Yanei and Ma Xiaoyi are strong, but the people we send out are already masters of Cuju, at least they are not weaker than them in this scene."

"If I can win...!"

Wang Chao said: "You go and find Xu Yuhou, I want to ask in person."

"Yes."

The palace.

"Can the officials hear about the charity football match?"

The Empress Dowager Cao suddenly asked Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu was stunned for a while, nodded, and asked again: "How does the aunt know about this?"

Empress Dowager Cao said: "It was Donger who told me."

Zhao Xu asked, "Want to see, Madam?"

The Empress Dowager Cao hehe said: "Dong'er wanted to go and see the old man, but the old man didn't agree to him at the time, but I read the news today, and I haven't heard of this kind of charity competition before. It's quite interesting, and besides, it's just doing charity, so it's okay to have a look!"

"The grandson will be arranged later."

Speaking, Zhao Xu asked again: "Young lady also reads news papers?"

"Look!"

The Empress Dowager Cao said: "I watch almost every issue, and so does your mother. This has become a habit. It shouldn't be that this news is only distributed in restaurants. Every time I have to ask Cao Ping to go to the restaurant to get it. It's troublesome." A little."

This newspaper is very popular in the harem. For example, Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Dowager Gao sit in the palace all day and are already bored. It is a rare pleasure to read newspapers and learn about the affairs of the people.

It is precisely because the Empress Dowager Cao is a fan of the news that she is interested in this charity competition, which is a kind of love for the house.

As soon as Zhao Xu heard it, he immediately said: "Don't worry, Madam, from now on, every issue of News and Celebrities will be sent to the palace first."

This charity is getting bigger and bigger, Bianjing Law Firm is almost unable to bear it, and its own business has been affected. Of course, Fan Li is not happy about this.

Today, Zhang Fei and a group of major donors came to the headquarters of the charity.

This is the Alum Building, which is donated to charity organizations free of charge, and it is in the middle of the two buildings.

"It's very bright."

Zhang Fei looked around for a while, and then praised Fan Zheng: "Fan Dalang's work is reassuring!"

Fan Zheng hurriedly said: "This is what it should be. It is our honor that Saburo is willing to put the charity in our Baifanlou, and we dare not neglect it."

As he spoke, he glanced at the rest of the donors.

Zhang Fei glanced around subconsciously, seeing these donors, their expressions seemed a little weird, and he couldn't help asking: "Is there something wrong?"

You look at me and I look at you.

Zhang Fei asked again: "What is it?"

Ma Tianhao said carelessly: "It's like this, you see that the shop is ready now, and this staff has to be arranged."

Zhang Fei wondered: "Isn't this person already found?"

Ma Tianhao laughed and said, "There is also a council."

Zhang Fei suddenly understood, "Don't be so anxious, right?"

It was stated in the original contract that a board of directors would be formed to be responsible for decision-making. If Zhang Fei had the final say, it would be tantamount to donating the money to Zhang Fei. promise.

It is because the contract is very standardized that everyone is willing to try it, but no one trusts Zhang Fei unconditionally.

It's just that the number of people has been increasing, and everyone doesn't understand, basically Zhang Fei has the final say.

Chen Maoqian said: "Sanlang, it's not that we are in a hurry, but that you seem to be obsessed with this kind of football. You score a goal with a hundred guan, and you donate a thousand guan to the winner's office. This money is not yours, but you can't spend it like this!"

The rest of the people also nodded.

One thousand strings is really a lot.

The cost of this game can buy an ordinary house in the capital.

Be aware that they donate to charity, but they don't really want to do charity.

Zhang Fei was very angry and said with a smile: "Didn't you hear the movement outside?"

The lumber merchant Zhou Yan said: "Who wouldn't know how to make a profit at a loss! There have been people who used Cuju competitions to raise donations before, but no one has ever raised so much money. The key is that this business is not profitable."

"Now we donate a lot of money without earning any money."

"Yes! If you invest the money in the movable type workshop, then we are all willing."

"Yes, yes, yes, I heard that many people want to print newspapers recently. This business must make money."

"Car rental is also available."

Everyone you say, I say, in a word, you can't do something, you have to play football, it's really fun.

Zhang Fei was also really drunk, and snorted: "I thought you were far-sighted, but I never thought about it. You are all short-sighted. I am curious about how you earn your money."

"Our money is earned in front of us. When you go far away, you will naturally find it."

"You guys.!"

Zhang Fei said helplessly: "It was agreed before, give me a chance, and I will prove it to you."

Fan Yong said embarrassingly: "But Sanlang, you spend money to make a gimmick, even if someone comes to see it, it doesn't mean anything."

"That's right!"

"What you do is just to attract people, so that we can promise you what kind of football game."

Everyone said it very clearly before, let Zhang Fei have a try.

But now, people think it's an unfair attempt, and if people want to watch it, it should be them paying, not you.

Many people think that Zhang Fei's behavior is a kind of deception, deliberately creating that everyone loves to watch this football, so as to fool them into agreeing to invest money in it.

These businessmen are all as smart as monkeys. They secretly formed a council to check and balance Zhang Fei.

It can be seen that the method of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Zhang Fei also knew what they were thinking, and was very angry about it, what kind of business does not need to be advertised!

It really makes no sense.

Just as he was about to refute them, a servant suddenly entered the room and whispered something in Fan Yong's ear.

Fan Yong nodded and said to Zhang Fei: "Sanlang, do you still have tickets?"

"No."

Zhang Fei snorted.

Fan Yong said embarrassingly: "After all, we also spent money, and you didn't give us a ticket. It doesn't make sense."

Zhang Fei said coldly: "You are not interested, why do you want tickets, don't waste them."

At this moment, another servant ran in and whispered something in Ma Tianhao's ear.

Ma Tianhao heard one head and two big, looked at Zhang Fei, and said haha, "Zhang San, Brother Fan is Brother Fan, I am me, I am more interested, otherwise, I will not support it Xiaoyi is going to play the game, no matter what, you have to save some tickets for me."

"Zhang San! Zhang San! Are you in there?"

Cao Dongdong's voice came from outside.

Zhang Fei hurriedly replied: "Yes."

Immediately there was a rush of footsteps, and Cao Dongdong rushed in, "Zhang San, I have some good news for you."

Zhang Fei asked: "What good news?"

Cao Dongdong said: "My aunt and the officials are going to watch the charity competition."

"Official!"

Everyone said in unison.

Zhang Fei said: "You have to prepare well."

Cao Dongdong said: "My father said, we have to change the venue, let me ask you to discuss it."

"Now?"

"Yeah."

Cao Dongdong said again: "Also, remember to leave fifty tickets for me."

Zhang Fei said: "No problem."

"Wait!"

Fan Yong hurriedly said: "I asked you for a ticket, but you said no, now the Yamen wants fifty tickets, you!"

Zhang Fei stretched out his hand, pinched his fingers, and said: "I just went to the Yamenhui to ask me for a ticket, but now it's really gone. Besides, this is different, we don't conspire with each other. At worst, I will do this game alone. I paid the money. Let’s go, Ya Nei, let’s discuss it with Haosheng. MD! I’m so mad.”

Cao Dongdong asked: "Who made you angry."

"A bunch of idiots."

".?"

A group of businessmen looked at each other in blank dismay, we paid and were scolded.

You.!

Ma Tianhao suddenly shouted: "Zhang San, wait a minute, you can't miss this ticket."

Fan Yong also chased him out, "And me."
