Shortly after Sima Guang left, Xu Zhiqian entered the house.
Zhang Fei nodded: "We already have some ideas about legal aid. Grand Master Sima asked us to send people to station at the Department of Records first. The litigants will apply first, and then the Department of Records will assign them."
Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but look happy. She didn't think it would happen so quickly. When did the efficiency of the court improve? But then she whispered: "But Erbi in the store didn't seem to be very satisfied with this matter, and he complained a lot in private.
"
"This is what I expected."
Zhang Fei shrugged slightly and said with a smile: "Everyone wants to get money easily, and I do too. But I am not the one who takes advantage of me. If they are injured at work, I can compensate them and prevent them from suffering. But you want to take advantage of me?"
If they want to get more money, they have to use their abilities to speak for themselves. I will also get a wooden board and hang it on the wall to record their achievements."
Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips and smiled: "This move of yours is really damaging."
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "When they make money, they won't think so. There's no need to accommodate them. Everything has to be done according to the rules."
Xu Zhiqian nodded and asked, "About the tenant farmers?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "I haven't thought of any solution yet, but Xiaokan Lu didn't come to me again during this period. I guess they have other plans. This is also a political issue, and there's not much we can do.
"
Having said this, he looked at Xu Zhiqian again: "Don't think too much about this matter. Let's do our part first."
Regarding the tabloid matter, he did not intend to tell Xu Zhiqian, not because he did not trust Xu Zhiqian, but because this matter was risky, and those who did not know were not guilty.
So he wouldn't tell Xu Zun.
He does it all privately.
At present, he is still waiting for news. Over there, Zhao Xu has to arrange the people and location. When everything is arranged, he will provide technology and ideas.
In order to deceive others, Zhang Fei decided to personally prepare for legal aid. In this way, even if everyone doubted him, he would have reasons to excuse himself. This was his alibi.
Of course, legal aid is very important to them.
If it can have a positive effect, it will be able to gain legal status for litigation, strengthen Erbi's team, and standardize litigation.
Only then will they have more room to use.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhang Fei held another meeting, completely ignoring the resentful looks in Erbi's eyes and letting them decide what type of case to litigate based on what they were good at.
Erbi also needs to specialize internally. After they choose the litigation they are good at, they will be responsible for fighting this type of lawsuits.
In order to be fair, the bonus points are also different depending on the type.
Among them, contract disputes are the most common, but they also add the most points.
As for neighbor disputes, this is also relatively common, but the bonus points are relatively small, because when faced with such lawsuits, most officials require persuasion to make peace.
Three divisions.
"Brother Shen, it seems that Wang Jiefu was not fooled."
Du Xiu expressed his filial piety to Shen Huai somewhat depressedly.
Shen Huaixiao frowned: "What do you mean?"
Du Xiu nodded and said, "Although the government has issued a decree to collect summer tax from those fields where the deed tax has been paid, Wang Jiefu did not immediately order people to collect the tax. Instead, he sent someone from the Ordinance Department of the Second Government to weigh the interests. Officials, cooperate with Kaifeng Prefecture to conduct a census of the situation of tenant farmers."
Shen Huaixiao pondered for a while and said, "You mean, Wang Jiefu plans to back down?"
Du Xiu shook his head: "It's hard to say! After all, the officials have issued a decree, which proves that Wang Jiefu is determined to collect this summer tax. He is most likely planning something by conducting a census. Maybe he wants to persuade the tenant farmers to take the initiative to pay the tax. Or it is possible to persuade those landowners to take the initiative to pay taxes."
Shen Huaixiao laughed when he heard this: "You and I both know very well about tax collection. No one in the world wants to pay taxes. You have to be a bad person to collect the tax money. Just with a few nice words , just want
It is unreasonable to ask the common people to pay taxes, let alone the landowners.
This time Wang Jiefu is destined to lose. If he retreats, he will definitely not be able to collect taxes. If it is forced, what is the difference between what he does and Wang Hong?
At that time, we can file a memorial and ask the court to clear Wang Hong's name."
Du Xiu nodded: "Brother Shen's words make sense. Now Wang Jiefu is indeed in a dilemma. Why not let us create rumors in the court first. Although Wang Hong is inappropriate, he is also thinking about the country's finances. What's the matter with an Erbi?" We know the difficulties of collecting taxes.”
Shen Huaixiao nodded slightly and suddenly said: "When it comes to Erbi Zhang San, we can't let him stay out of it."
Du Xiu's heart skipped a beat, "Brother Shen, what do you think?"
Shen Huai said filially: "Don't Zhang San like to stand up for the poor? Let's find some tenant farmers to ask Zhang San for help and let him and Wang Anshi kill each other."
Du Xiu thought for a while and said: "This plan is not impossible, but if we do this, we will have to go to court again!"
"No need! No need!"
Shen Huaixiao waved his hands repeatedly: "You can just pretend that I haven't said that this time we are determined not to go to court. How could we have lost so ugly if we didn't go to court in the past few times? We usually argue a few words, that is It doesn't matter if you lose, but if you lose in court, you will have to bear legal responsibility."
The more he talked, the more frightened he became, and he asked again: "What's going on with Zhang San recently?"
Du Xiu said: "I heard that legal aid is being arranged."
Shen Huaixiao nodded: "I have also heard about this matter. It was suggested by Sima Xianggong. It seems that Sima Xianggong has a good relationship with Zhang San."
Du Xiu said: "I'm not sure about this, but I guess it was Xu Zhongtu who was the one who pulled the strings."
Shen Huaixiao hummed: "To be honest, Zhang San also relied on women. If he hadn't climbed into the Xu family, he wouldn't be where he is today."
Du Xiu chuckled and said, "His life is good, what can we do?"
"Good luck!" Shen Huaixiao sneered, "He always has bad luck."
Court of Punishment.
"I heard that Wang Anshi is sending people to investigate the situation of the tenant farmers."
Wen Yanbo said to Sima Guang.
Sima Guang glanced at Wen Yanbo, "What do you think, Duke Wen?"
Wen Yanbo stroked his long beard and said, "I thought Wang Jiefu should wake up. No matter what he did, the tax would always be added to the tenant farmers. It's just that what he said before could not be found for a while. Otherwise, he could not find a way out. Let's help him. In fact, you and I both know this. Someone must be pushing it from behind, and I don't blame Wang Jiefu."
Sima Guang chuckled and said: "Wen Gong has very little contact with Wang Jiefu and doesn't know him well. Although he is not a reckless man, he is very stubborn. It is difficult to change what he decides. He will definitely pay this summer tax. Collected."
Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "Then he fell into the opponent's trap!"
"He won't care about this."
Sima Guang shook his head.
This time Wang Anshi was not impulsive and asked for an investigation to see if the tenant farmers were really in difficulty.
This earned Lu Gongzhu high praise. As Wang Anshi's good friend, Lu Gongzhu knew Wang Anshi's temper very well and was afraid that he would be impulsive.
He really cooperated fully and mobilized everyone who could be mobilized.
After several days of intense spot checks and searches, the results were discouraging.
"It is true that many tenant farmers have a difficult life. That is because they are already bearing high rents, their families do not have much surplus food, and the summer tax is mainly based on coins. If we call for tax payment, they can only Being forced to sell food at low prices is just adding insult to injury."
Lu Huiqing reported to Wang Anshi.
Mr. Lu hurriedly said: "Jiefu, look, I'm not lying to you. The life of those tenant farmers is indeed not easy. This will drive people to death."
Tenant farmers already have to pay more rent than owner-cultivators. Most tenant farmers have already paid half of the tax in the rent, and now they have to pay tax again. This is really terrible.
Lu Huiqing said: "But this has nothing to do with the court.
For what these landowners did, they received at least half of the taxes from the imperial court, so why should the imperial court bear this loss?"
Lu Gong said: "I also know this, but this matter must be done slowly and cannot be rushed."
Lu Huiqing thought to herself, if you take your time, there will definitely be nothing left to do.
But it was not easy for him to argue with Mr. Lu.
Wang Anshi glanced at Lu Gongzhu, and then asked Lu Huiqing: "Didn't you discuss it with the landlords?"
Lu Huiqing said helplessly: "Why not, but they didn't gain anything. They took the contract to show that they acted in accordance with the contract. Not only that, they also said."
Wang Anshi frowned and asked, "What else did they say?"
Lu Huiqing said: "They also hinted that this was all because the imperial tax was too heavy and they were unable to help the tenant farmers. They hoped that the imperial court would lighten the corvee and reduce the tax."
In fact, this is an insinuation that Wang Anshi disregarded people's livelihood and amassed wealth for the country.
Wang Anshi smiled coldly: "I don't believe you can cure them if you don't drink the toast or the fine wine."
He got up and walked outside.
Mr. Lu quickly stood up and said, "Jiefu, where are you going?"
Wang Anshi ignored him and went straight to the palace after leaving Kaifeng Mansion.
"Sir, what's the urgent matter that you want to see me for?"
When Zhao Xu heard that Wang Anshi had reported something urgent, he didn't even bother to eat. He hurried to the palace, panting slightly.
It can be seen that Zhao Xu still values Wang Anshi very much.
Wang Anshi bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, can you lend me 10,000 guan?"
"Ten thousand strings?"
Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment and said, "Sir, what do you want ten thousand guans for?"
He knew very well what kind of character Wang Anshi had. Although he made money for the country, he personally regarded money as dirt and had no interest in it at all.
Wang Anshi said: "If your Majesty is willing to lend me 10,000 guan, I promise to return at least 100,000 guan in tax revenue."
"ah?"
Zhao Xu was dumbfounded.
at dusk.
Bianjing Law Firm!
"I'm so tired!"
Zhang Fei stood in front of the door with his arms outstretched, then turned back and shouted inside: "Zhiqian, hurry up, the carriage is here."
"immediately."
Xu Zhiqian's voice came from inside.
After a while, Xu Zhiqian hurried out the door holding a stack of copywriting papers, "Let's go!"
After finishing speaking, when Zhang Fei didn't answer, he turned his head to look at him. He saw Zhang Fei looking to the left. Following his gaze, he saw Wang Anshi riding a horse and riding towards this side, followed by three donkey carts.
This scene also caused pedestrians on the road to stop and watch.
After a while, Wang Anshi came to the door of the law firm and got off his horse. He first looked at Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian and asked, "Are you ready to go home?"
Zhang Fei nodded dully.
Wang Anshi frowned and said displeased: "Young people should work harder. Why are you going home so early?"
Do you think that like you, I only have work left in my life? Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "Having children."
After Xu Zhiqian heard this, she immediately poked Zhang Fei with her elbow and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhang Fei whispered: "I didn't tell you."
It’s okay if you didn’t tell me! Xu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, her eyes flashed with fire.
Wang Anshi watched the young couple flirting, but he understood, and hehehe said: "Even if you give birth to a child, you are not in a rush for this moment, there is still time in the evening."
"That's it! That's it!" Zhang Fei chuckled and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Grand Scholar Wang?"
Wang Anshi turned back and glanced at his attendant, who immediately stepped forward and handed a stack of books to Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei took it and looked at it. There was no title, so he couldn't help asking: "This is it?"
Wang Anshi said: "I want to sue these people for tax evasion and make them pay all the taxes they owe over the years, not even a penny less, and I will also recover their fines."
As he spoke, he turned to one side and looked at the cars
Donkey cart, "Here are ten thousand guan, which is a commission for you."
