After learning that the emperor had relented, they, the censors and admonishers, were really overjoyed.
This is really a blessing in disguise.
Now he can accomplish his feats in one battle.
As long as this lawsuit is won, Wang Anshi's reform will directly die.
Is there a better situation than this?
It is precisely because of the huge interests involved that they feel even more nervous.
Because they have received the news, Wang Anshi must have asked Zhang Fei to help him litigate.
This is a lesson learned.
Besides, this is no longer a chasm.
Therefore, Liu Shu and the others no longer dared to be careless or underestimate Zhang Fei this time. They sent the highest legal think tank in the court to help Qian Yi make plans.
They even lost face and asked to imitate Zhang Fei and prepare essays for the court.
But Qian Yi was firmly opposed to doing this.
It's all in the brain.
Even the censors couldn't play Zhang Fei's tricks.
Who still copies books during a court hearing?
He is really not used to this rhythm.
Many censors also feel that if they imitate Zhang Fei, they may be self-defeating and they should use what they are good at.
It's really interesting to say that Zhang Fei was also studying their court defense records over there, and all these records were quietly provided to him by Wang Anshi.
At Xu Zun's level, he could only obtain some criminal cases, many of which were unavailable. Only those who participated in political affairs could be transferred from the political affairs hall.
[A book-chasing book recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this book to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]
"That's it?"
Zhang Fei threw a piece of paper on the table and pinched the bridge of his nose, "What a waste of time!"
Xu Zhiqian was confused and said: "I think what is said above is very reasonable. If there is anything wrong with it, you should tell me."
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes: "You can explain this lawlessness better than them."
Xu Zhiqian said with shame: "I don't have the ability."
"Don't be humble."
Zhang Fei chuckled: "When you said 'do it for my own good', I was speechless. None of them have the ability."
Xu Zhiqian's pretty face turned red and she hummed: "Then I'm the one taking charge, okay? Of course you are speechless. Humph!"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Then let me ask you, what if I was using the poor to solicit business from the rich, to help the rich annex land, and to exploit the people? You can find 10,000 reasons to scold me.
It's true that I'm despicable and shameless. But as long as I'm thick-skinned enough, none of these ten thousand reasons can constitute evidence that I've broken the law. That's the difference.
Everyone can tell the truth, and I may speak more profoundly than them, but litigation is not about reasoning, but about evidence. If they maintain this level, I can beat them even if they talk in their sleep.
Okay, I won’t read anymore. Reading too much of this will only paralyze me and make me complacent. I’d better study the contract of my firm. I still have to make money to support my family.”
"?"
After discussing with Wang Anshi over there, Zhao Xu decided to appoint Fu Bi as the chief inquisitor without any surprise.
First of all, they all believe that Fu Bi will conduct a fair trial and will not favor any party, and both parties will agree.
...Secondly, it is also hinting to Fu Bi that this is what you asked for, so if the other party loses, they have to admit it, otherwise, you, Fu Bi, will have to take responsibility for it.
In fact, Fu Bi didn't want to get involved. He was just trying his best to take care of the emotions of all parties and avoid party disputes, but now he had no choice but to agree.
This time the case was also scheduled to be heard in the political hall.
The reason for this arrangement is to emphasize once again that this is not a criminal or civil case, but a political matter, and the public must not interfere with the court's policies.
"You came up with this idea, right?"
After leaving the main hall, Wang Anshi spoke coldly to Sima Guang.
Sima Guang chuckled and said: "At least my methods are fair and aboveboard, unlike you who use domineering techniques to deal with those who oppose you. Who do you think you can scare? It will only attract more people."
Against you."
Wang Anshi said proudly: "Even if there are thousands of people, I will go."
Sima Guang looked contemptuous: "Are you going to kill me? You are killing me, how can this be the way of a saint?"
Wang Anshi was also excited and said: "They are making trouble and slandering me. Can I just endure it and let them insult me? Is this the way of a saint again?"
Sima Guang said: "You are really a wicked person who complained first. You asked the government to set up three departments of regulations. Have you discussed it with us?"
Wang Anshi asked: "Will you agree?"
Sima Guang said: "This means you cannot convince the public."
Wang Anshi asked back: "Fan Gong has been a flawless man all his life. He can't convince everyone. How can you and I convince everyone?"
Fan Zhongyan and others are simply the super moderates among the reformists since ancient times.
However, there are no eggs.
It’s not like he was scolded so much by others.
There is no use for Wang Dao Egg, only Domination can be used.
Sima Guang couldn't deny it, and said: "Now that we are competing in court, you have to accept it even if you don't accept it. What else do you have to complain about?"
Wang Anshi said: "I'm not complaining, but I have something to say beforehand. This time, I have to admit my defeat. If you still keep insisting, don't blame me for being unkind."
Sima Guang said: "I still said what I said. If there are any problems with your new law, I will definitely point it out. But I can also guarantee that I will discuss the matter based on the facts, but I will never use the methods of my ancestors.
Make a reason.”
Wang Anshi wondered: "Why do you think there is something wrong with my new law?"
Sima Guang said angrily: "With your arrogant character Wang Jiefu, this incident should also serve as a warning to you. Reform is not as easy as you think. If you don't think carefully, you will definitely fail."
Wang Anshi didn't take it seriously: "I never thought how easy it would be to reform, but even though tens of thousands of people have gone there, I have done it."
He just flicked his sleeves and walked away.
Genuine bookstore.
"Sanlang?"
When Hou Donglai saw Zhang Fei suddenly appearing in the genuine bookstore, he felt as if he had seen a ghost.
"Why are you so surprised?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise.
Hou Donglai hurriedly said: "Listen and hear!"
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said, "Try your tongue before talking."
Hou Donglai said: "I heard that you have a very important lawsuit to fight tomorrow."
Although the imperial court intended to accuse and criticize, it was all brought to Kaifeng Mansion. This matter could be concealed from anyone, as it had already spread throughout the capital.
...Hou Donglai works in a bookstore, so he is naturally well-informed.
"So if I come today, I will definitely not be free tomorrow."
Zhang Fei responded lightly and asked again: "How are you prepared?"
"ah?"
Hou Donglai seemed to have not come back to his senses yet, nodded and said: "I'm ready now, but the movable type cannot be made in a short while."
Zhang Fei said: "I know this, so we recruit more craftsmen. How is the recruitment now?"
Hou Donglai said: "We are not recruiting people so quickly. We have only hired four people so far."
"Four?"
"This is already a lot."
"!"
Zhang Fei said: "Go and find out how much the craftsmen in the small workshops can earn in a month. No matter how much, give them double the remuneration."
"Twice as much?" Hou Donglai said in surprise.
Zhang Fei said: "I can't wait so long."
Hou Donglai said: "But this can make a lot of money!"
Zhang Fei said: "As long as the craftsmanship is good, money is not an issue."
If money is not a problem, then Hou Donglai will have no problem either.
Zhang Fei took out some more contract templates and handed them to Hou Donglai, "You ask Master Hong and the others to immediately make a withered version based on these texts."
In the past, those tea lovers only did one business, but the business brought by the tax calculation business is open to everyone. Contracts can no longer be written by hand, and everything must be standardized.
In the past few days, Zhang Fei almost always talked about the lawsuit after Xu Zun came back in the evening, and spent the rest of the time working on the contract text.
Hou Donglai took it and took a look and was immediately confused, "What are the dots on it?"
"What dot, dot, dot, this is called punctuation mark."
Zhang Fei said: "It is used to break up sentences and mark them."
Hou Donglai said: "If you really want to break a sentence, just click on it. Why click on so many points? Is your contract calculated based on the number of words? And what is this water pattern used for?"
"Water pattern?"
Zhang Fei was also confused, "What water pattern?"
"Isn't this a water pattern?" Hou Donglai pointed at the contract.
Zhang Fei tilted his head and looked, "This is called the title of the book, and it's also a water pattern. I hope you can figure it out. Okay, okay, let them carve it according to it first. If there is any mistake, I will deduct their money."
"Always money?"
"Do you know that with this one word mistake, I may lose thousands of coins, which is a lot?"
"Okay, okay. I'll just be more careful then."
Hou Donglai wiped his sweat and said.
Later, Zhang Fei went to inspect the workshop. The problem was still not enough manpower. While making movable type, they also had to engrave some book printing plates.
Because the genuine bookstore has already obtained the copyrights of Su Shi, Yan Jia, and Wang Anshi, they cannot wait for the movable type to be printed before printing.
Zhang Fei was also very generous and offered to give them money for processing.
The production industry is different from the service industry. If you want to pursue efficiency and quality, you have to invest heavily in it.
If you are willing to pay ten times the salary, 996 will be a blessing. No one will complain about it. No matter how hard you work, you will gain something.
Putting aside the salary and talking about 996, it is really more shameless than a gangster.
Now that the office has begun to make a profit, Zhang Fei is not short of money for the time being, and he pursues efficiency even more.
...After staying inside for more than an hour and arranging the next phase of tasks, Zhang Fei left in a carriage.
"Hush!"
Halfway through the journey, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Only a childish voice was heard, "Are you Zhang San?"
Zhang Fei opened the curtain and saw a little boy about ten years old standing beside the carriage, asking Li Si.
"I'm Zhang San."
"Oh, an uncle asked me to give this to you."
The little boy handed a letter to Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei took it over.
The little boy left.
Zhang Fei took it apart and took a look, his eyes shrank suddenly, and he suddenly cursed: "I'm fucking Male Gobi! These beasts actually use such methods."
Seeing Li Si's elegant talk, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart: "Third brother, what happened?"
Zhang Fei raised his head and glanced at Li Si, his brows furrowed as he said, "Go to Wang University Scholar's Mansion."
Long Wu didn't ask any questions, he just set up the carriage and changed the route to Wang University Scholar's Mansion.
Halfway through, Zhang Fei said again: "Don't go there yet, let's go home first."
After returning home, Zhang Fei went directly to Xu's house.
"Didn't you go to the bookstore?"
Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she saw Zhang Fei's sudden arrival.
Zhang Fei said: "Something happened."
"What's the matter?" Xu Zhiqian asked.
Zhang Fei clenched his fist tightly: "They may have kidnapped Fang Yun."
