Zhang Fei here has no particularly good friends except Xu Zhiqian. He also has a good impression of Wang Ye. The key is that he is a complete fanboy. In addition, he is in a high mood today, so after drinking this
It’s a pleasure to get it.
It's a pity that Wang Ye didn't sit there for long and left first because of something else.
The only way to go is through the back door.
Xu Zhiqian also sent her off in person.
"...Your senior brother Wang is gone?"
"Yeah."
Xu Zhiqian nodded, looking at Zhang Fei whose face was flushed, she felt tired and couldn't help but remind her: "You should drink less to avoid getting into trouble."
How come there are so many mistakes! Zhang Fei said angrily: "Don't worry, I'm not you, I won't have sex after drinking."
Xu Zhiqian angrily said: "When did I have sex after drinking? I haven't settled the accounts with you yet."
"Just kidding."
Zhang Fei also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and suddenly turned his eyes, "Don't be angry first, I have two good news to tell you today, otherwise I wouldn't dare to make this joke."
Xu Zhiqian hummed: "What good news?"
Zhang Fei took out a piece of contract and handed it over.
Xu Zhiqian was furious and threw her hands to pick it up. After looking at it, she couldn't help but look happy, "We succeeded!"
This is really good news for her.
What great news!
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Yes, I am now the helmsman of the Fan family bookstore. That decree is already a piece of waste paper to me."
Xu Zhiqian was overjoyed and said: "If they knew about it, they would be so angry that they couldn't sleep. But let's keep it quiet for now. When you redress people's injustice and sound the drum, you can give them a surprise."
"Heroes see the same thing. I even gave Fan Li some special advice to keep quiet."
Zhang Fei chuckled, and suddenly took out another contract and handed it to Xu Zhiqian.
"What is this?"
Xu Zhiqian took it and took a look at it, and said in surprise: "You want me to join the Fan Family Bookstore with you?"
Zhang Fei nodded and smiled: "Our cooperation has been so successful, why not continue."
Xu Zhiqian said arrogantly: "Don't you think I'm nosy?"
"I don't think so now!" Zhang Fei chuckled, then saw Xu Zhiqian glaring at him, and hurriedly said: "But isn't that what we Erbi people do? We are nosy, everything is our own business, then
You are not allowed to sit through the bottom of the prison.
That’s why I hope Madam Xu will join the bookstore, so that Madam Xu can write petitions for the poor herself. At that time, I will create a position in the bookstore to write petitions and file lawsuits for the poor for free."
Xu Zhiqian was very moved and glanced at Zhang Fei, "Then what are you doing?"
Zhang Fei sighed: "Of course I make money for you to squander. If you don't have money, why should you help those poor people with their lawsuits for free?"
Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes slightly and said, "Don't you just want me to gain some good reputation for the bookstore? You put it so nicely."
"Ahem...you...how do you know?"
"Isn't that what you did in the Li Siyi case before?"
"Well... you like it anyway, let's each take what we need."
"I didn't refuse either!"
Xu Zhiqian looked at the contract and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. Yes, why have I never thought about writing a petition myself to help those people redress their grievances?
Suddenly, she looked at Zhang Fei again, "Wait a minute! Don't you want to stay in the bookstore all the time?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "Have you forgotten that Uncle Wang once said that he would recommend you to become an official?"
Zhang Fei frowned and asked, "Do you think I should become an official in the court?"
Xu Zhiqian blinked and said, "It depends on what you are pursuing."
"What am I pursuing?"
Zhang Fei fell into deep thought. When he first arrived in the Northern Song Dynasty, he wanted to save Fang Yun. After saving Fang Yun, he also hoped to gain a foothold in Bianjing without relying on others. Then he pursued the power to litigate. Now he is all
I did it, and the more I thought about it, the emptier I felt.
After a while, he suddenly looked up at Xu Zhiqian and said, "Give me some advice."
Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.
Zhang Fei said: "It is never a bad thing to listen to one more person's advice, even if it is an enemy."
Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes at him and pondered a little, "Wealth is not difficult for you. You can get it even if you are not an official. Therefore, I think you should pursue more ambitious goals like Uncle Wang and others." p>
At this point, she glanced at Zhang Fei and said, "Do you still remember that night when you said that helping the rich avoid lawsuits would prevent them from bullying the people?"
Zhang Fei nodded slightly.
Xu Zhiqian said: "I don't agree with this. I want to tell you that if you really want to help more people, you have no other choice but to become an official."
Ever since Song Shenzong first came back here and wanted Zhang Fei to join the court as an official, she had wanted to tell Zhang Fei this truth, but she couldn't reveal Song Shenzong's identity, and now that Wang Anshi had said it, she could say so. Zhang Fei was surprised and said: "So you think highly of me so much?"
Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes slightly, "If you don't have the ability, how can I supervise you? I'm afraid that you will go astray and waste your skills."
"You think highly of me... Sigh... Worry first when the world is worried, and then be happy when the world is happy." Zhang Fei said with emotion: "This road is very difficult!"
If he didn't know the situation in the Song Dynasty, he might still have some fighting spirit, but just because he knew the situation in the Song Dynasty, this road seemed to be a dead end.
Xu Zhiqian said: "But if you are determined to do this, then you will feel happy."
"How do you know?"
"That's what my dad is like!"
"How can I compare with my benefactor!"
Zhang Fei showed a wry smile.
It's not that he never thought about becoming an official. When he came to the Song Dynasty, he was definitely his first choice to be an official. First, he had money; second, he was safe; he wouldn't be killed easily. But this is different from Wang Anshi's ambition.
His ideas have not yet been completely integrated into the contemporary era. He still maintains the idea of struggle and making money, and has no concept of the world in his heart.
These two words are too heavy.
He had no idea for a moment and suddenly asked Xu Zhiqian: "Why don't you ask me what the second good news is?"
Xu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, then raised the contract in her hand, "Isn't this the second good news?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "With a meager remuneration, you can help the poor fight lawsuits for free. Is this also good news?"
Xu Zhiqian asked again: "What is the second good news?"
Zhang Fei said hey: "I have asked Chen Maoqian to help me find a house. If I have time, I will go and have a look. If there is no problem, then I will move right away."
Xu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, "You...you want to move away?"
"That's right!"
Zhang Fei nodded, "Don't you really want me to move away?"
"I..."
Xu Zhiqian saw Zhang Fei looking at her curiously, blinked, and suddenly turned her pretty face aside: "I really hope you move away, but seeing you so happy, I...I'm not happy."<
/p>
"I knew it!" Zhang Fei clapped his hands excitedly and laughed loudly: "I am so happy just because I know you will be unhappy because of this. Haha...!"
"You are angry with me again."
"I can't be angry for a few more days. I'll go back to my room and go to bed first."
Zhang Fei ran away immediately.
"This guy is really hateful. Before he left, he was still angry with me."
Xu Zhiqian stamped her foot hard.
Suddenly I heard singing not far away, "The back is real, the person is fake, there is no attachment. A hundred years ago, you were not you, and I was not me. The sadness is real, the tears are fake, and there is no cause and effect.
A hundred years later, there will be no you and no me."
"It's this song again, it's really unpleasant to sing..." Xu Zhiqian muttered, then picked up the contract in her hand and looked at it, her eyes full of longing...
......
The third watch.
Hanlin Academy!
Under the dim candlelight, an old man was sitting by the small stove, without any distractions, working day and night.
Suddenly, a gust of chilly night wind rushed into the house, the weak candlelight swayed violently, and another long shadow shone into the house.
The old man protected the candle with one hand and looked back, only to see a young man entering the room. The old man immediately stood up.
"No need to be polite, sir."
This young man is Song Shenzong.
And this old man is none other than Wang Anshi.
Song Shenzong suddenly looked at the seat opposite Wang Anshi. He was quite surprised that it was empty and asked, "Isn't Bachelor Sima here to keep you company tonight?"
Wang Anshi smiled and said: "I just had a few arguments with him and he went home."
Very proud.
Song Shenzong smiled and asked: "What are you looking at, sir?"
Wang Anshi hurriedly said: "I am reviewing the account books of the store and housekeeping."
Song Shenzong asked: "Is there any problem?"
Wang Anshi sighed: "There are many problems, but everyone knows that the housekeepers colluded with private households to rent and sell the government's public houses as private houses to obtain profits."
Song Shenzong nodded slightly and asked: "I wonder how you plan to deal with it?"
Wang Anshi sighed heavily, "Changes are necessary. As for whether to hold them accountable, I have reservations about this."
Song Shenzong asked curiously: "Sir, I have always hated evil, so why are you so open to them now?"
Wang Anshi said: "Because this is the tacit approval of the imperial court."
Song Shenzong nodded slightly and asked: "I wonder how you think we should change it?"
Wang Anshi said: "I don't have a clue yet."
Song Shenzong pondered for a while and said: "I have a plan, but I wonder if it is feasible?"
Wang Anshi hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, what good advice do you have?"
Song Shenzong said: "In terms of qualifications, rent public housing to those hard-working and kind-hearted people, rather than renting it to lazy idlers or someone's relatives. The application qualifications are based on the people's tax payment and military service.
”
Wang Anshi's eyes lit up and he said: "Your Majesty, this is a wonderful plan!"
Song Shenzong smiled and said: "I also received guidance from experts."
Wang Anshi asked: "Exalted person, do you know me?"
However, Song Shenzong smiled and did not answer, and instead asked: "I wonder if Sir, do you agree with the suggestion of Grand Scholar Sima?"
Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment and asked: "Your Majesty, are you asking about building a house?"
Song Shenzong nodded.
Wang Anshi pondered for a while and sighed: "Although I have my own opinions, I do not deny that what Sima Jun actually said is for the sake of the people, so it is not bad."
He had already planned not to argue with Sima Guang on this matter, after all, it did not involve his core demands.
Song Shenzong said happily: "I also plan to allocate some more land to build public rental housing. Firstly, it can help the people. Secondly, it can also warn the wealthy gentry that the court does not want housing prices to rise."
