This sudden arrival of Fan Zheng really made Fu Shichun overjoyed.
Facing Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi every day, and having to wipe their butts from time to time, you can imagine how tiring it is!
But Zhang Fei's heart skipped a beat. Fan Zheng suddenly came in person without any warning. Could it be that something happened in the capital.
Fortunately, he was overly worried.
It turned out that Fan was here on purpose, but due to the confidentiality system of the charity foundation bureau, it was inconvenient to send someone here first to communicate.
Since this military camp was not a place for talking, Zhang Fei could only end today's schedule early, and the four of them returned to the imperial court.
"One hundred thousand coins?"
"Um."
Fan Zheng nodded.
Zhang Fei asked: "Where to send?"
Fan Zhengdao: "The Salt Bureau. It is said to be used to purchase one hundred thousand salt notes from the Salt Bureau."
Fu Shichun asked curiously: "The imperial court purchased salt banknotes from the Salt Bureau?"
Zhang Fei, however, was as clear as a mirror. It was clear that Wang Anshi provided support for the promotion of Chang Pingsi. After all, this is a financial system. Although there are salt banknotes, the currency is still in place. He then asked: "How much does this gang earn?"
?”
Isn't he curious? Seeing Zhang Fei change the topic, Fu Shichun couldn't help but be a little stunned, but he immediately realized it and stopped asking any more questions.
Fan Zhengdao: "Eight thousand strings."
Zhang Fei said in surprise: "After deducting travel expenses, you can still make a net profit of 8,000 yuan?"
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "The imperial court gave us eight thousand guan, but there were many merchants and officials who asked us to escort some goods. The fees they paid were enough for our losses on the road."
Fu Shichun said: "It's eight thousand guan in one trip. I didn't expect to make such a huge amount of money."
Fan Zheng lowered his voice consciously and said: "When I was negotiating with the court, the asking price was 5 out of 100, but Collector Lu gave me a reward of 8,000 guan."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Throw a brick to attract jade."
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "That's right. The imperial court doesn't want our charity foundation to monopolize all this, and the prices given to us now are very high. Before I came, I had heard that Xiangguo Temple also planned to set up its own pledge team. Mainly
It’s for this flying money exchange.”
After Wang Anshi came to power, the court was full of financial experts, all of whom were good at settling accounts. As long as the number of bettors increased, prices would be lowered immediately. This was the most beneficial thing for the court.
If it were Sima Guang, the price would probably be 3% higher.
This can be said to be two ways of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.
Until there is a result, we really can’t tell who is right and who is wrong.
Ma Xiaoyi was not interested in making money, but asked curiously: "Fan Da, is it fun to pledge money?"
This question made Fan Zheng feel frightened, "This is really terrible! Because once this is robbed, we have to pay 100,000 yuan to the court! Fortunately, Brother Yang is experienced, and the court gave us official documents, and we also paid taxes on the way.
It’s a small gain, so it’s a safe journey anyway.”
Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "Do you regret it?"
Fan Zheng's expression changed and he said seriously: "That's not the case. After several short-distance escorts and this long-distance transportation, we found that as long as we arrange it properly, as the third brother said at the beginning, this deal can make all of us happy.
My business has become even more powerful, taking it to the next level.”
In fact, money is only secondary. When you control transportation, you can gain a broad network of contacts. For example, if you ask a charity foundation to transport goods, you will definitely go to Fanlou to eat!
This will inevitably increase their social influence.
This hidden benefit is huge.
Ma Xiaoyi suddenly looked up and said, "Brother is here."
Zhang Fei turned his head and saw Cao Dongdong's drooped head walking towards him.
"Ya Nei!"
Fan Zheng took the initiative to wave.
Cao Dongdong looked up and said, "Fan Da, you're here."
Fan Zheng's expression froze, "I don't seem to be welcome in the Yamen."
"well."
When Cao Dongdong came and sat down, he let out a long sigh.
Zhang Fei saw his virtue and asked: "Are you trapped by love again?"
Cao Dongdong exclaimed: "How do you know?"
Zhang Fei said: "Apart from Queen Mother Cao, only love can make Yanei so nervous!"
"It's true that my parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and Zhang Sanye is the one who knows me."
Cao Dongdong sighed again, "This time I have gained something, but lost it in the east."
Fu Shichun frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhang Fei also had a similar feeling. This statement fell into the mouth of Yameni. It was really nonsense.
Cao Dongdong glared at him: "You still have the nerve to say that it's all your fault. I acted unruly in court. Did you know that Mrs. Zeng also came to watch the trial? Today I went to find her, but she didn't even come in.
open."
"?"
Fu Shichun was speechless for a while.
Ma Xiaoyi slapped the table: "It's just right. Anyway, we have to clean up Fan Da today, and we can drink and drink with my brother to relieve our worries. We kill two birds with one stone!"
Fan Zheng and Cao Dongdong looked at Ma Xiaoyi in unison, with extremely complicated expressions.
Why does this sound a little uncomfortable?
Third watch time.
Just like in the capital, Cao Dongdong, Ma Xiaoyi, and Niu Beiqing, who came to help Zhang Fei hold back the wine, were all lying on the messy wine table.
Zhang Fei, Fu Shichun, and Fan Zheng went to the outhouse and brewed another pot of fine tea.
"correct!"
Fan Zheng suddenly took out two letters and said, "This is what Mr. Xu and Uncle Fu asked me to send to you."
"Thank you!"
The two took it and said thank you.
Zhang Fei was not in a hurry to look, and asked: "How is the business in the capital?"
Fan Zheng looked at Zhang Fei with a hint of admiration, "Third brother is really far-sighted. The most profitable business in Tokyo now is the Football League. Money is making money every day. Not only do we make more, but even the foot and horse armies are
By renting and selling shops, we have made a lot of money, and now Damingfu and other places are actively forming football leagues."
Fu Shichun asked hurriedly: "What about my Feng Yue Bao?"
Fan Zhengdao: "Since the third brother left, Feng Yue Bao immediately became the number one newspaper in Tokyo. It is already the celebrity newspaper and more than twice the news newspaper."
Fu Shichun said: "Even if Zhang San is here, he can't sell my Feng Yue Bao."
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said, "I'm going to make a small serialization that will beat you ten times."
Fu Shichun asked: "What is Xiaohuangwen?"
"Uh, forget it, I won't argue with you, our genuine bookstore is now making money selling books." Zhang Fei waved his hand.
In fact, he also knew that the celebrity newspaper plus the news newspaper would definitely not be able to sell the Fengyue newspaper, and there was no point in his presence. The entertainment newspaper was more popular.
"That's true. The books in genuine bookstores are still in short supply." Fan Zheng nodded with a smile, and suddenly asked: "Third brother, I heard that you have also started to implement independent declaration in Hezhong Prefecture?"
Zhang Fei said: "You already knew the news when you arrived."
Fan Zheng said hurriedly: "Now the streets and alleys are talking about this matter."
After saying this, he paused for a moment and then asked: "Will that be successful?"
He had experienced the battle for tax exemption when he returned to the capital. That period was so tumultuous and thrilling that it is still fresh in people's memories.
Zhang Fei said: "The situation in the capital should not happen. The reason why the commotion in the capital is so fierce is because there is a group of ministers above to help them share the fines and ensure their personal safety. They can use the human wave tactics unscrupulously.
Challenging the tax department and the Public Security Bureau, but no one should do that here."
At that time, the fighting was so fierce in the capital. It wasn't because someone from above had the final say and everyone had to share any fines. If we were to ask Wei Yingfang and others to share the fines with the landlords, even if they wanted to, they didn't have the financial resources.
Fan Zheng asked again: "Is Third Brother sure?"
Fu Shichun asked curiously: "Fan Da, why are you interested in this matter? Could it be that your family also has fields here?"
"No no no!"
Fan Zheng said hurriedly: "This is my first time coming back to Hezhong Mansion. I don't have any fields. It's just!"
Zhang Fei also looked at him curiously.
Fan Zhengdao: "It's just that Uncle Ma hopes to cooperate with our charity foundation and open a Jieku shop here, but the prerequisite is that he can get the blessing of the public prosecutor and the law."
This Jiekupu is a pawn shop.
Zhang Fei frowned and said, "What kind of business do you plan to run?"
Fan Zhengdao: "It is mainly used for business operations such as lending, flying money, and housing loans. Because Uncle Ma believes that businessmen can get more protection under the law.
This may be because Uncle Ma has seen that Tokyo’s business has developed very rapidly in the past year. In addition, the success of our mortgage transaction is very conducive to Feiqian and other transactions.
In addition, Uncle Ma was also in Sanya before and came here to guard the border. He knows that many soldiers need to send money home, and if they provide free money trading, they can make a lot of money."
Because the Song Dynasty did not suppress commerce at all, and the government also took the lead in business, the Song Dynasty had all kinds of businesses. Merchants were extremely financial wise. Banknotes were created by the merchants of the Song Dynasty. There were even storage and lending businesses similar to banks, but generally
It's tied to Feiqian.
The mortgages brought by Zhang Fei have brought Tokyo's financial industry to a higher level.
Ma Tianhao is also a leader in this field. He found that as long as the public security, prosecution and law have a firm foothold, Hezhong Mansion has huge financial potential, because Hezhong Mansion not only involves salt removal, but also military expenditures.
It can easily amount to tens or millions of dollars.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "This is a very good idea, but unfortunately it comes at a very bad time. Qingmiaofa has just arrived in Hezhong Mansion, and it will also provide loans, flying money and other transactions."
Fan Zhengdao: "I know this too, but isn't it true that everyone depends on their ability when doing business?"
Fu Shichun said: "When the Qingmiao Law comes to Hezhong Mansion, it must be successful. Otherwise, it will directly affect Wang Xueshi's new policy. If you open a Jiekupu at this time, you are deliberately trying to be an enemy of Wang Xueshi.
Whether you think so or not."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Brother Xiaochun is right, this is a terrible time."
Fan Zheng said regretfully: "Okay then. Just pretend I didn't say anything."
The three of them held candles and talked until late at night before going back to their houses to rest.
Of course, Zhang Fei consciously went to the study to rest, not that there were two tigresses at home, but because he himself didn't like to cause trouble to others, and he would avoid it if he could. The smell of alcohol might cause trouble to others.
Snoring.
The next day.
When Zhang Fei got up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Under Gao Wenyin's service, Zhang Fei almost finished washing up with his eyes closed.
Lazily arriving at the outdoor restaurant, Xu Zhiqian was still working as she had been for ten years.
Zhang Fei handed Xu Zun's letter to Xu Zhiqian by the way.
"What did your father-in-law say in the letter?"
Zhang Fei asked Xu Zhiqian while eating breakfast.
Xu Zhiqian said: "Dad said in the letter that everything is fine in this family and let us take care of ourselves. Also, your verdict has been discussed in the Legislative Council. Mr. Fu and others are very supportive of you, but how to deal with it?"
Legislation may still need careful consideration.”
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "This is what it should be. A judgment is only for one case, but a written law involves people all over the world, and all aspects must be taken into consideration."
Xu Zhiqian suddenly asked: "By the way! Can those landlords pay taxes?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "It is very difficult to get them to pay taxes. They are now thinking of various ways, such as legally avoiding taxes. It is estimated that it will be delayed until the last minute."
Xu Zhiqian said: "In that case, why don't we hold a trial first? After all, ordinary people are already busy with their affairs. If we wait until the cold winter, there may not be many people to watch the trial."
Zhang Fei asked: "Are you all ready?"
Xu Zhiqian nodded.
Zhang Fei pondered for a while and said: "It's better to start the trial early and let the landowners know that our imperial court doesn't care at all whether they surrender or not. I will ask Cai Jing to post a notice later and hand it over seven days later before the trial begins."
case."
I couldn't help myself last night and burst the bubble. Today I'm typing, and it's really a kind of pleasure to hang on my butt. The more I type, the more energetic I feel, but it's a bit sweaty. Drink more water.
