If you say the same thing today, you may lose your life, but if you say it tomorrow, you may get promoted and make a fortune.
Why did Zhang Fei not make any suggestions to Xu Zun in the past? At most, he only discussed legal thoughts with Xu Zun. The reason was that Xu Zun was not involved in political affairs, and his power was limited to Dali Temple. Moreover, the administrative system of the Northern Song Dynasty divided powers.
It will also make him restricted everywhere. If he wants to amend any regulations, he must report it. I don't know how long it will take to report this, but in the end, it is decided by the political advisor.
This is why he wanted to amend some regulations before, but progress has been very slow.
But things are different now. Now that Sima Guang is presiding over the Criminal Court as a political advisor, he has the power to reform the judiciary. On his first day in office, he also showed a strong willingness to reform the judiciary.
This coincides with Xu Zun's desire.
Then if you bring it up at this time, there is a high possibility of success.
Early the next morning, Xu Zun took this policy to discuss with Sima Guang.
"Xu Sishi is truly worthy of being the first person in law in our dynasty. This strategy is really wonderful."
After Sima Guang saw it, he couldn't help but praise Zun.
I completely forgot that when he was interrogating Ayun before, he directly scolded Xu Zun as a disgrace to the judiciary.
Xu Zunke couldn't stand this kind of praise, mainly because it wasn't what he thought, but thinking that if he said it was Zhang Fei's strategy, it would only cause complications and no benefit. He smiled and quickly changed the subject: "But there is a drawback to this strategy.
, that is, it may increase government expenditures."
Sima Guang glanced at Xu Zun's face. He was as clear as a mirror and did not criticize anything. He said with a smile: "Actually, it won't increase much. Just make some slight adjustments to some yamen. It's not a big problem."
These words were obviously in reference to Wang Anshi's political reform.
He has done that, why can’t I do this?
...
There is no doubt that this year is definitely a year of reform.
Wang Anshi wanted to reform.
Sima Guang also wanted to reform.
Even Zhang Fei carried out a vigorous reform in the bookstore.
The first step is to occupy the magpie's nest.
I saw more than ten big men carrying things in and out.
"This time I really feel wronged."
Zhang Fei stood in the courtyard, watching the transporters moving out pieces of furniture, and said to Fan Li hypocritically: "But don't worry, the rent is definitely not low. It is enough for the outsiders to rent a good house outside."
The bookstore wants to expand, but there are currently no houses for rent or sale, so Fan Li can only move out first and incorporate his residence into the bookstore.
Fan Li waved his hand and said: "This is just a small matter, so don't worry about it. When do you plan to reopen?"
Zhang Fei pondered for a moment and said: "It's best to do it in these two days. Although the back part hasn't been finished yet, the front part has been renovated. Let's make do with it first. We can't wait for this precious little time."
Fan Li asked again: "When will tax calculation be launched?"
When he talked about this tax-calculated transaction, he looked uneasy.
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Of course. Otherwise, there is no need to rush."
Fan Li said uneasily: "But I heard that the three departments, the Transportation Department and the Commercial and Taxation Institute, have been in frequent contact with businessmen recently. I'm afraid they won't let us succeed."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Because of this, it is profitable. If everyone can do it, then why should we do it?"
Fan Li's ideal seems to be right. Isn't that why he agreed to cooperate with Zhang Fei?
At this moment, a servant came in and said, "Outside the court, Mr. Fan of Baifenlou would like to see you."
"Master Fan?"
Fan Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Fei and said, "I have nothing to do with him. He must be here to find you."
Zhang Fei nodded slightly.
Fan Li's guess was correct, Fan Zheng came to see Zhang Fei.
"To be honest, Third Brother, I am here today. My father asked me to ask Third Brother, is your bookstore really planning to launch a tax calculation business?"
"This can still be false."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Our bookstore will officially open in two days, and we will promote it at that time.
Make tax calculations and trades."
Fan Zheng frowned after hearing this.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Da Lang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Fan Zheng apologized: "I'm really sorry. We at Baifanlou may not come to your bookstore to calculate taxes, but will choose to go to Li's bookstore instead."
Fan Li was shocked, "Why is this?"
Fan Zheng looked at Zhang Fei anxiously.
A flash of joy flashed in Zhang Fei's eyes, but he said: "Business is a matter of mutual consent. It is of course okay for your Baifanlou to choose another family, but I am very curious, what are the advantages of the Li family?"
Fan Zheng sighed: "It's not that they have any advantages, but... it's just that the above hinted to us, Baifanlou, that if we come to your bookstore to calculate taxes, then it will be difficult for us, Baifunlou, to get the imperial liquor. Also,
The salt and sugar will be sold to other stores, but this wine can be the foundation of our Baifenlou!"
"Hey, you! What can we do?" Fan Li was so anxious that he stood up.
Zhang Fei frowned and asked Fan Zheng again: "The imperial court can obviously use this method to force you not to come to my place, so why does it ask you Bai Fanlou to go to Li's bookstore? Isn't this unnecessary?"
Fan Zhengdao: "I privately think that the imperial court is trying to use this trick to suppress your store. If businessmen all go to Li's Bookstore to calculate taxes, they will naturally gradually alienate your store, including other businesses."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "It's exactly what I thought!"
Fan Li said depressedly: "We have been busy for a long time, but the result is to shoot ourselves in the foot."
Zhang Fei glanced at Fan Li and said with a smile: "Exceptor Fan, please be patient. We are big business people. Be calm and don't make people laugh."
Just as he was talking, Ma Tianhao and Chen Maoqian also came.
"Fan Zheng has met Uncle Ma and Uncle Chen."
"Your father is really smart, so I let you do this annoying thing." After Ma Tianhao teased Fan Zheng, he laughed at Zhang Fei and said: "Zhang San, this time you have kicked the iron plate."
It’s over!”
Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "I don't know what means the Third Division used to force Brother Hao to surrender."
Ma Tianhao didn't mind him calling him that. He sat down next to Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "This is the request of Xiangguo Temple. You also know that without the support of Xiangguo Temple, we would not be able to get the mortgage loan."
Chen Maoqian said: "Zhang San, your move is really wrong! If they can force us not to come to your bookstore to collect taxes today, they can force us not to sign a contract with you in the future."
Zhang Fei snorted: "This hasn't even started yet, and you're going to judge me as a loser?"
Ma Tianhao perked up and laughed loudly: "I told you that you won't give up easily. I also want to see what other methods you can use to subdue even the Third Division."
Chen Maoqian said, "You can't win this time. Tea, rice, oil, salt, wine, and sugar are all in the hands of the imperial court. They can't do anything to you, but it's easy to punish us!"
Fan Zheng said hurriedly: "Uncle Chen is right. The court has too many ways to deal with us, but no businessman will dare to come to your bookstore to calculate taxes."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Everyone, as the leading rich man in the capital, how can you be so short-sighted? I don't do this business. It doesn't matter to me. I can still make money from lawsuits and won't lose anything. But if you back down this time,
If you do, then you won’t be able to break free in the future.”
Two old foxes and a little fox communicated with their eyes for a long time.
Chen Maoqian suddenly said: "That's true, but we don't dare to gamble with our wealth and lives. Let's talk about Baifanlou. The old Fan family used to rely on their connections to obtain a large amount of distiller's yeast from the imperial court, so that they could
After brewing so much wine, once the imperial court cuts off the koji, I'm afraid Bailanlou won't be able to survive even the third month of the month."
You said you were the one, why did you mention me, Bai Fan Lou?
Fan Zheng glanced at Chen Maoqian depressedly, but as he was an elder after all, he couldn't say much and nodded in agreement.
Ma Tianhao suddenly laughed and said: "You two, stop pretending here, Zhang San is so shrewd that he won't be able to guess what you are thinking."
With that said, he directly thought of Zhang Fei and said: "Zhang San, if you can win, then we can come back to support you. There is no need to take risks with you now. If you are really capable, then create a way out for us."
.”
Chen Maoqian and Fan Zheng were so embarrassed that they turned red.
But that's what happened.
Even if they do not support Zhang Fei now, if Zhang Fei succeeds in the future, they will have many escape routes and there is no need to take risks.
Zhang Fei was so angry that he scolded with a smile: "You businessmen, you speak so straightforwardly, aren't you afraid of scaring others like Fan Yuanwai?"
The three of them looked at Fan Li at the same time.
After all, Fan Li was a respectable person. How could he endure being entertained by them like this? He hummed, "You're not afraid, so what am I afraid of?"
But after they left, Fan Li suddenly became timid again, "Sanlang, let's...should we still open?"
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Why not open it?"
...
When they got home, Gao Wenyin and the others had not returned, so Li Si and Xiao Tao were left. Li Si, a hypocritical fool, ran to help Xiao Tao work as soon as he got home.
After sitting alone for a while, Zhang Fei thought about going to Xu's house.
Just as they arrived at the back door, the opposite back door also opened, and Xu Zhiqian's family appeared at the door, blushing.
The two looked at each other and smiled in unison.
"Looks like I drank a lot today!" Zhang Fei said with a smile.
Today, Xu Zhiqian and her best friends went out for a cruise, but did not follow Zhang Fei to Fan's Bookstore.
"I didn't drink much."
Xu Zhiqian subconsciously touched her cheek with her hand, then changed the subject and said, "How are the preparations at Fan's Bookstore?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I encountered a little trouble."
Xu Zhiqian hurriedly asked: "What's the trouble?"
Zhang Fei immediately informed Xu Zhiqian of today's events.
Xu Zhiqian frowned slightly when he heard this, and said: "I told you that your business is not easy to do, but you don't believe it. Those three departments can be said to be the most powerful government offices in the Song Dynasty. Even if they can't fix you, they can also make the merchants not do it." Deal with you."
This is absolutely true, because the Song Dynasty attached great importance to commercial development and at the same time had huge government-run institutions. Almost all the daily needs of the people were controlled by the imperial court.
For example, koji for brewing could only be purchased from the imperial court.
If Baifanlou is disobedient and the court restricts the quality of liquor produced by Baifanlou, Baifanlou will immediately lose its status as the number one restaurant in the capital.
Now that Zhang Fei has offended the Transshipment Department again, this has made matters worse. Businessmen rely on buying and selling.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Since I dare to do this, I am naturally confident. How can I be easily defeated by them?"
Xu Zhiqian hurriedly asked: "How do you say this?"
"opportunity."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Actually, I have always relied on timing to win. Let them be arrogant for a while, and then I will kill them in one go."
