Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 144

Chapter 144

After a busy day, Zhang Fei finally walked out of the backyard and came into the shop.

At this time, there were only a few old servants cleaning in the shop, and the "crackling" sound of dialing the abacus from inside the counter.

I saw Fan Li standing alone in the counter, looking at the ledger immersively, and flipping the abacus, completely unaware that Zhang Fei came to the counter.

It wasn't until a page of accounts was finished that he raised his head, shook his neck, and suddenly saw a person standing in front of him, and he screamed in shock.

It made those cleaning old servants bow their heads and chuckle.

"Oh! Sanlang, why are you walking so silently!" Fan Li complained embarrassingly.

"It's because you are too involved."

Zhang Fei smiled, and asked again: "When did Yuanwai change to be an accountant?"

Fan Li said with a sneer: "All the distinguished guests here today, I'm afraid that the people below will be blind, so I just stand here to welcome the guests, and help with the calculations by the way, we don't have enough people in the account room now."

Zhang Fei asked: "Then how much did we earn today?"

"It's almost over, but... but the current calculation is as much as four thousand, and it is estimated to reach five thousand." Speaking of the latter, Fan Li laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. Ugly!

He really didn't expect that tea eaters could still make money like this.

If it can get the support of the government, it will even make more money than Yaren.

Because everyone pays taxes.

Although the tax calculation business has existed before, it is only in name only, because Li Guozhong and the others just vacated a space for the Commercial and Taxation Court to collect taxes. Taxes make no difference.

But their Bianjing Law Firm is different. They come here to calculate taxes and enjoy legal services, and the price is not low.

Of course, it was much less than the money they would have gone to the government to manage.

Therefore, Zhang Fei provides two services for them. For small and medium businessmen, he provides tax calculation services.

For wealthy businessmen, he provides comprehensive legal services.

Because he also knows that the big rich businessman is a different way of playing. It is impossible to say that they will not go to do it after they ask you to calculate their taxes. They will still go to do it because they want to get more.

What the rich businessman wants is an insurance, not for that little tax.

In addition, there are copyright taxes.

The cost paid by Bianjing Law Firm is the future service, and the income is almost pure profit.

Of course, today's income is particularly high, that's because Zhang Fei negotiated with several rich people, and everyone recharged three to five hundred guan. After a while, the revenue will definitely drop, but when the number of people increases, the revenue will increase will grow steadily.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Don't be too busy to be happy, this is just the beginning, and our income will only increase in the future, so don't settle accounts here, how much help you can help alone, you have to find all the people quickly, This account room is obviously too small."

More than five thousand guan?

Fan Li almost didn't cry.

Posted!

This time it was real!

Fan Li said: "Don't worry Sanlang, I will definitely recruit all the people immediately."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and said again: "Sanlang, there is something I want to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Fei asked.

"It's Mrs. Xu's business." Fan Li said: "I also understand Mrs. Xu's good intentions, but there are not enough people in the shop at present, and she even takes people to the countryside to help those ordinary farmers calculate taxes. Manpower and material resources are too cost-effective."

In the past few days, Xu Zhiqian has not been seen. In fact, she went to the surrounding villages to promote the tax calculation business of Bianjing Law Firm. She is not interested in doing business. She is more keen on helping the poor.

She believes that the tax calculation business is meaningless to wealthy businessmen, but it is very important to those simple and honest farmers, and it can really provide them with protection.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Mr. Wai, we are not an alumni shop. We can provide delicious food and wine. We are not a pawn shop, we can provide money, and we are not a dental shop. We can find goods. Why do customers come to us?"

Fan Li replied: "We can help them file a lawsuit!"

Zhang Fei said: "Li Guozhong and the others can do it too!"

Fan Li said: "But how can they compare you to Saburo!"

Zhang Fei said: "Then how did I get my reputation?"

"Of course there will be a lawsuit."

"Who are you helping with the lawsuit?"

"Little fourth brother, the historian, and Cao Yameni."

"Actually, it's mainly Li Si and the historian. It's their lawsuit that lets everyone see my ability."

Zhang Fei said: "But I didn't make a lot of money by helping them with the lawsuit, but it increased my influence. What Mrs. Xu is doing now is the same.

If I can seek justice for a farmer, then I must also seek justice for a businessman, because the status of a businessman is higher than that of an ordinary farmer.

Yes, maybe we help a thousand people to calculate taxes, but it is better to help a rich businessman to calculate taxes, but you must know that without those thousand people, we would not be able to receive the business from this rich businessman. "

Fan Li nodded thoughtfully: "I see, this is the vision you often mentioned, Saburo."

Zhang Fei nodded and smiled, "Exactly."

"What are you talking about?"

Xu Zhiqian walked in with a tired face.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Fan Yuanwai just said that he has made money, and he wants to propose a little more money for you."

"what?"

Fan Li was immediately stunned.

Xu Zhiqian glanced at Fan Li, didn't she know that Zhang Fei was joking, and said, "Money is the second priority now, I need more helpers."

Zhang Fei looked at Fan Li.

Fan Li squeezed out a smile and said, "If you have money, you are afraid that no one will be there."

Zhang Fei smiled at Xu Zhiqian again: "How can you become fat with one bite, this matter has to be done slowly. Come, come, sit down and rest for a while."

Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes at him with a smile, and sat down with him in an elegant seat.

The servants also hurriedly brought refreshments.

Xu Zhiqian really didn't have any ladylike demeanor, so she started eating right away. After running outside for a day, she was already hungry.

Zhang Fei couldn't help laughing and said: "You asked for it yourself, you can't blame me."

Xu Zhiqian took a sip of tea, "Am I such an unreasonable person?"

Zhang Fei shrugged slightly, but did not make a sound.

Xu Zhiqianfeng stared at him.

Zhang Fei said: "On the contrary, you are very reasonable, even a little too reasonable."

Xu Zhiqian couldn't hear what he said, and hummed: "Only those who have done something wrong will be afraid of reasonable people."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "If you are a man, Yu Shi is the most suitable for you."

Xu Zhiqian nodded and said, "I think so too."

Zhang Fei said: "At that time, you will find that honest gentlemen such as Senior Scholar Wang and Senior Scholar Sima will also be afraid of Yushi."

".?"

Xu Zhiqian twitched the corner of her mouth: "They are more afraid of you."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Zhang Fei asked again: "How is your progress?"

Xu Zhiqian said dejectedly: "It's almost a waste of time, except for those who knew me before, most of the people don't believe us."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "As expected, the beginning of everything is the hardest."

Xu Zhiqian suddenly remembered something, "That's right! When I came here just now, I heard the sound of drums in Kaifeng Mansion again. I thought you ran to beat the drums again."

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes: "The drums in Kaifeng Mansion were not set up for me, there are so many people in Tokyo, it's normal for them to be played once!"

"It's not normal."

Xu Zhiqian said: "There are very few people who actually go to the Kaifeng mansion to file a complaint. They usually go to the embassy or the left and right chambers to file a complaint, unless it is a major criminal case or an unjust case involving the emperor's relatives."

Zhang Fei shrugged and said, "Anyway, it definitely has nothing to do with me."

He really doesn't want to go to court recently, he just wants to get the office and bookstore on the right track as soon as possible.

Second watch.

Wang Anshi dragged his exhausted body back home, he is really the busiest person in the Song Dynasty now, not only to build the system and set up the Three Divisions, but also to formulate laws and regulations, and at the same time, he had to deal with those who came to quarrel with him.

But it was all within his expectations.

This job is really hard to do.

However, before he had eaten two mouthfuls of hot food, there was a hasty knock on the door.

It was Lu Huiqing who came.

"Master, something went wrong."

"What happened?"

Wang Anshi looked bewildered, but he didn't panic at all, because he hadn't done anything yet.

What can happen.

Lu Huiqing said: "Two hours ago, that Qian Wei went to Kaifeng Mansion to sue, saying that the establishment of the Three Divisions and Regulations Division violated the law of the ancestors."

"what?"

Wang Anshi stood up abruptly, then gritted his teeth and said, "This stubborn old bastard, I still don't believe that I can't chew on his tough bone. Let's go to Kaifeng Mansion."

Just strode out the door.

Mrs. Wang, who had just brought hot water to soak Wang Anshi's feet, happened to see Wang Anshi rushing out of the house, and hurriedly asked, "Husband, you just came back and are going out again."

"There's something to take care of."

Wang Anshi had no intention of explaining to his wife, and walked outside angrily.

Mrs. Wang chased and shouted: "You have finished your meal anyway."

"No appetite!"

"Then you should wipe your mouth anyway, there are still grains of rice sticking to your beard."

Wang Anshi wiped his sleeve on his mouth.

Mrs. Wang sighed deeply.

".?"

When he came to Kaifeng Mansion, Wang Anshi asked Mr. Lu, "Where is that old man?"

Lu Gong said solemnly: "I have ordered someone to put him in prison."

"Uncle Hui, you come to criticize the law. The officials just set up a department to preside over the reform. They won't let it go. After the trouble in the court, they come to Kaifeng mansion to make trouble. This is simply lawless."

Seeing Lu Gong's work, Wang Anshi was both wronged and angry.

Lu Gong said comfortingly: "Calm down first, in fact, I also think Qian Yi has gone too far."

"It's more than excessive."

Wang Anshi bit his back teeth and said: "This time I will definitely not spare him lightly. He is no longer a censor, but a commoner. He came here to file a complaint. It is very clear that he has the intention of satirizing the officials. It is disrespectful. , denounce the crime of taking advantage of public opinion, and also, it is also the crime of spreading rumors.”

Lu Gong nodded his head, and said: "Judging from his pleadings, it is not an exaggeration to convict him of this crime, but you must not forget Jiefu, that Zhang San also came here to file a similar pleading not long ago. "

Wang Anshi excitedly said: "This is not the same thing. Zhang San is complaining for historians, but that old man clearly wants to oppose the court and destroy the new law. His heart is to be punished."

Lu Huiqing suddenly said: "Teacher, even though this is the case, the other party will definitely use Zhang San as an example and demand to give that old guy a chance to go to court."

Lu Gong nodded and said: "Lu Xiaokan is right."

Wang Anshi snorted, "I'm afraid that's the old man's goal. He can't succeed. I will ask His Majesty to punish him tomorrow."

Lu Huiqing said again: "Master, I'm afraid we have to plan for the worst."

"Why?" Wang Anshi asked.

Lu Huiqing said: "Before Qian Wei impeached his mentor in the court, it was purely unreasonable, so the officials demoted him to the capital, such as Fu Gong and Wen Gong, they didn't say anything.

But there is a precedent for this matter, and it happened not long ago. If we argue with them about this matter, I am afraid that we will not take it seriously. If Fu Gong and Wen Gong stand up and speak out about Qian Yi, it will cause great harm to the officials. big pressure. "

Wang Anshi trusted Lu Huiqing very much, and asked, "In your opinion, what should we do?"

Lu Huiqing held back for a long time before saying, "At least they can't let Zhang San be invited first."

"Zhang San?"

Wang Anshi excitedly said: "You don't think you will really be fooled by them as a teacher, do you?"

Lu Huiqing said: "The students just think that we have to prepare for the worst and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Lu Gong, who suffered from Zhang San's suffering, nodded vigorously: "Jiefu, I can't understand Zhang San's methods very well. If it really hits the court, Zhang San will still stand by them. , the consequences are unimaginable.”
