Sima Guang's words accurately express the purpose of conservatives, which is to follow the rules, follow traditions, and use time-tested and time-honored methods.
For example, recuperating and recuperating, doing light corvee and paying little tax.
In the eyes of conservatives, national strength can only rely on savings rather than development. The Wenjing rule is the most typical case.
No one can say that this is wrong. It is politically correct. No emperor is stupid enough to say that he must impose excessive taxes, but it seems a bit cliché and as plain as water.
Although conservatives are now united under the banner of judicial reform, that is only because judicial reform is actually relatively conservative, because the public prosecutors and the law only defend the existing laws, enforce the law impartially, be fair and just, and safeguard the interests of the people. This does not conflict with the purpose of conservatives, and is very consistent with it.
Therefore, conservatives believe that judicial reform is the way out for the country.
Before coming to the Northern Song Dynasty, when reading history books, Zhang Fei often lamented that he was just a word of coward, and he despised Sima Guang's thinking. He was opening up new territories and expanding his territory, and you were also chirping beside him. How annoying it was. ah.
But when he came to the Northern Song Dynasty, he understood more of Sima Guang's conservative thinking.
Anyone can talk and laugh happily when they are not involved, but when they are in it, who can be calm and calm?
When you are just watching from a distance, everyone is Wang Anshi, but when you sit down on that chair, you will probably become Sima Guang.
This also shows Wang Anshi's courage and determination, and how difficult it was for him.
Assuming that Zhang Fei was left to decide whether to fight or not, at least at this moment, Zhang Fei would still side with Sima Guang.
If you have such a heavy burden and have to go to war, there will definitely be financial problems. Then you may not care about systems and laws and work hard to make money.
If we can really destroy Xixia in one go, we can actually do it once and for all.
The key point is that the Song Dynasty is always in a two-front war situation. The Khitans over there are not stupid. They cannot let the Song Dynasty destroy Xixia. Moreover, the Song Dynasty is not afraid of Xixia, but it is afraid of the Liao Kingdom, including Zhao Xu is included.
This requires a grand strategy and must not be rushed.
But this does not mean that Zhang Fei is opposed to regaining the Xihe area.
The great victory at Xihe would expose Xixia to enemies from both sides. As long as Xihe could be stabilized and that area controlled, strategically speaking, the Song Dynasty would have the upper hand on the western front.
The problem now is how to control that area.
Zhang Fei believes that no matter how we deal with this matter, we must try to reduce internal friction as much as possible. Otherwise, we will get twice the result with half the effort.
At that time, this area will, as Sima Guang said, not only fail to provide the Song Dynasty with strategic advantages, but will also consume the Song Dynasty's national power endlessly.
After talking to Sima Guang, he had to talk to Wang Anshi, but he did not plan to go to Wang Anshi, because Wang Anshi would definitely come to him.
"Brat!"
Just as Zhang Fei was thinking about how to persuade Wang Anshi, he suddenly heard a cry.
Zhang Fei looked back, saw Cao Ping, and immediately stepped forward, "Zhang San has met the chief superintendent."
Cao Ping asked: "Why do the officials want you?"
Zhang Fei blinked and said hesitantly: "It's about...about the great victory in the Northwest."
Cao Ping immediately asked: "You didn't ask Dong'er to go with you, did you?"
"No!"
Zhang Fei quickly shook his head.
Cao Ping still didn't quite believe it, "Seriously?"
Zhang Fei immediately raised his hand and said: "I can swear to God, in fact, the official family wanted to find Yanei, but I advised the official family to choose another person, because Yanei is still quite impulsive, and I want to add a pony to the side. , I guess they will go to Xixia to enforce the law. That place is definitely not suitable for them, at least not for the time being."
Cao Ping breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhang Fei didn't seem to be lying. He was very worried. Zhang Fei brought Cao Dongdong with him again. That place was ten thousand times more dangerous than Hezhong Mansion, and no one would care about him. Cao Yanei laughed. Said: "It seems that you know Dong'er relatively well."
Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "The Chief Superintendent is a man of many talents... Ahem, let alone the friendship between Ya Nei and me, just because Ya Nei is my big client, I can't let him take risks. "
Cao Ping nodded happily and asked, "Who do the officials plan to send there?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that. Chief Superintendent, you know that the police station's arrangements have always been decided by the officials themselves."
Cao Ping nodded slightly, as if he was also thinking about who Zhao Xu would send.
But he never dreamed that Zhang Fei recommended him to go.
Zhang Fei was worried about what he was thinking, so he asked in a low voice: "Chief Superintendent, what do you think of the war in Xihe?"
Cao Ping was startled and asked, "Do you know how to fight?"
Zhang Fei shook his head: "I don't understand."
"I don't understand. Why are you asking? I still have some official matters to deal with."
After that, Cao Ping left.
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, "If I understood, I would ask you. Really."
However, he also knew that Cao Ping, as a relative, had always kept a distance from the dispute between the two factions. It had been so long since Zhang Fei came back that he had not come to ask about Cao Dongdong's situation because he knew that Zhang Fei was currently in a difficult situation. In the battle of the whirlpool.
Mainly because Empress Dowager Cao has not expressed her attitude yet.
The harem is powerful, but it has rarely spoken out in recent years. On the one hand, the emperor has come to power, and the harem must return to its place.
On the other hand, the elderly Empress Dowager Cao was also worried that if she continued to interfere, it would provide Empress Dowager Gao with an excuse to interfere in politics in the future. After all, she would definitely not survive Empress Dowager Gao.
Empress Dowager Gao also knew in her heart that she did not dare to speak out easily.
The harem is also under observation and will take action to balance at critical moments.
...
When I got home, there was no surprise at all. Wang Anshi had been sitting there waiting for a long time.
Even Xu Zun found an excuse to avoid it.
When he met Zhang Fei, Wang Anshi also went straight to the point, but Zhang Fei told him to refuse for the time being.
"You didn't agree?"
When Wang Anshi heard that Zhang Fei refused to go, he immediately stood up excitedly and asked excitedly: "Why didn't you agree?"
Zhang Fei explained: "Because that area has just been recovered, it is in chaos. It can be said that we are starting from scratch. Moreover, those great chiefs have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. I am not sure at all, so I suggest that the officials send them first."
I will go over there if necessary, after I have a better understanding of the local situation."
Wang Anshi said anxiously: "You don't understand Wang Shao's intention at all. If he just wants to build the public security law, do you think he will ask you to go there in person?"
Zhang Fei asked: "Why is that?"
Wang Anshi said: "Of course it's because I value your financial management skills. The taxes there can't be collected temporarily and they can't support the war with war. As a result, military expenses are very tight now. They have to rely entirely on the taxes in the northwest region. But this is not a long-term solution."
, Wang Shao asked you to go because of your political achievements in Hezhong Mansion, and I also think that you are the only suitable candidate.
Your attainments in law and your means and foresight in business are all urgently needed there. I am here to ask you whether you want Yuan Houzhi to cooperate with you or Han Zihua to cooperate with you.
, you actually told me that you refused."
It is no exaggeration to say that when Wang Shao's memorial came to the capital, he immediately thought of Zhang Fei.
A perfect fit, the judiciary can manage the local area, Zhang Fei's financial management skills can also create wealth, these are the talents most needed in the land of Xihe.
Zhang Fei was very confused: "I just refused to go there immediately. Instead, I sent someone to explore the way first. After I understand the specific local conditions, I will go there before it is too late. If I go there rashly, I may lose more than I gain."
Wang Anshi said: "But we can't wait over there."
Zhang Fei said: "It's not that serious."
Wang Anshi struggled for a while and sighed: "After all, I have to blame you for this."
Zhang Fei said in surprise: "Why do you blame me?"
Wang Anshi said: "Waging wars definitely requires the support of military expenditures. Xihe's military expenditures naturally have to rely on the finances of Shaanxi Road. But at present, Shaanxi Road is controlled by the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate. It is very difficult to increase military expenditures there. This
You have to go."
Although Wang Shao ostensibly said to encourage trade to increase military spending, distant water cannot save nearby fire. Even if it can succeed, it will still need financial support from the northwest before that.
But this must be done with the Public Security Bureau and the Taxation Department. Although the power of the court to increase taxes belongs to the administrative power, the emperor generally does not dare to increase taxes easily. If he speaks directly, not only will the court and China encounter fierce opposition, but he will also lose the support of the people. This will
The best way is to collect money through Wang Anshi's New Deal, and the second is to collect money through exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes as before.
This was no problem in the past, but now if you want to do this on Shaanxi Road, you have to face the supervision of the public prosecutor and the law, and the only way is to directly increase taxes by decree of the court.
The public security law in Hezhong Prefecture was created by Zhang Fei. To untie the bell, one must tie the bell, and Zhang Fei is the most suitable candidate.
Zhang Fei suddenly laughed.
Wang Anshi stared at him and said, "Is this funny?"
If you hadn't built the public security system so well, would I be so passive?
The Legalist method is better.
"No, no, no, sorry, I didn't mean this." Zhang Fei shook his head and said.
Wang Anshi said: "Then what do you mean?"
Zhang Fei said: "Actually, Academician Sima came to me before. He had already calculated that Academician Wang would take this step, so he asked me to block you at this step, so as to ensure that we do not increase taxes on the people in the northwest. I... .!”
"What an old man!"
Wang Anshi was furious when he heard this, "The soldiers on the front line fought bloody battles, but he still wants to compete with me. Since ancient times, there are no more treacherous ministers than this. The old thief Sima and I are incompatible."
Zhang Fei put down his wide sleeves that blocked the spittle, and said again: "Xueshi Wang, please calm down. In fact, if it were my place, I would do the same thing."
"What did you say?" Wang Anshi said excitedly.
Zhang Fei said: "Looking at the matter, no one is completely sure about this matter. Even if I take the Public Security Bureau, there is still a risk of failure. Of course, Bachelor Sima is not willing to let the Public Security Bureau take this risk, and he is also worried that if something goes wrong, Bachelor Wang All the responsibility will be placed on the public prosecutor and the law.”
Wang Anshi glanced at him and suddenly calmed down, "Is this his worry or yours?"
Zhang Fei immediately said: "Of course it's his worry. I have to go now, it's just a matter of sooner or later. What's the use of worrying."
Wang Anshi said: "Just go and ignore that old thief."
Zhang Fei was about to cry but said: "But if I didn't have his support, this situation would only become more difficult."
His success is indispensable for the support of both Wang Anshi and Sima Guang. Currently, his base is on the conservative side.
This is why, in the eyes of many people, Zhang Fei's success in Hezhong Mansion is simply a miracle, and the reason is that Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, and the emperor all supported him.
Zhang Fei only needs to deal with local forces.
Wang Anshi finally understood, "What conditions did he put forward?"
Zhang Fei said: "It's very simple. He said that Academician Wang must accept their suggestions. Before the Xihe area is completely stabilized, he must ensure that he will not raise any foreign troops."
"He's dreaming!"
Wang Anshi snorted angrily: "Destroy Xixia and regain the old land. This is my Wang Anshi's proposal. There is no way I can agree to him."
Zhang Fei persuaded: "But he did not deny this idea. He just said that until Xihe is stabilized, no more external troops can be used."
Wang Anshi said: "But now the morale is high. If we do this, it will only make our army lose its fighting spirit."
Zhang Fei said: "Maintaining morale lies in being able to reward merits in a timely manner, rather than continuing to conquer east and west."
Wang Anshi was stunned and asked: "So you agree?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Because I don't know now whether the military expenditure problem in Xihe can be solved. If it can be solved, the Xihe area will soon be stable, and the Political Affairs Hall can formulate the next plan. If it cannot be solved, then Should we first think of ways to solve military expenditures before deploying troops abroad?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Anshi thought it made sense and asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
Zhang Fei immediately informed Wang Anshi of his plan. He would first establish a major trading town to avoid the big chiefs, provide a foundation for public security and law enforcement, and then radiate to the surrounding area.
Wang Anshi said: "This is just to implement the public security law. How should the military expenditure issue be solved?"
Zhang Fei asked: "Can that place collect taxes now?"
Wang Anshi sighed: "If it could be collected, there would be no such thing."
Those big chiefs surrendered voluntarily, even if they didn't ask you for money, and they even taxed them, then what's the point of surrendering? It must be the opposite.
Zhang Fei said: "Since we can't collect taxes, we can only rely on Wang Xueshi's financial management ideas. We can earn military expenses by promoting Chang Pingsi and Ma Jiajie Ku Pu."
Wang Anshi's expression immediately relaxed a bit. He felt comfortable hearing these words, and asked again: "How much can you earn from this?"
Zhang Fei said: "Everything."
"everything?"
Wang Anshi suddenly became energetic, "How to earn everything?"
Zhang Fei said: "In terms of sales, our military is the largest local customer, and the military's procurement will be the largest local order. We can rely on this to influence the situation in the entire Xihe River.
At the same time, Tubo and Xixia are in great need of our products from the Song Dynasty. As long as we can monopolize these products, we will not only be able to earn huge profits, but also be the largest seller."
Wang Anshi questioned: "But why should we have a monopoly?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Didn't I say before that using Majia Jiekupu to gain a monopoly? As long as the military purchases through Majia Jiekupu, Majia Jiekupu will soon be able to achieve a monopoly.
When the time comes, whoever's goods we buy will get rich, and whoever we sell goods to will get rich. As long as we grasp this point well and establish a stable interest relationship with them, then we will be able to dominate them.
In addition, we can’t collect taxes anyway. It’s better to announce to the local area that all taxes will be exempted for five or ten years. In this way, we can immediately gain a lot of people’s support. The local people’s burden will be reduced and they will inevitably devote themselves to trade. Trade requires public prosecutors and law enforcement.
, this is true for the Han people, the same is true for the Tubo people, and the Qiang people. By then the Public Security Bureau can control the local area, and then slowly weaken the chiefs. When their power weakens, we can fully build the Public Security Bureau and the Taxation Department. "
Wang Anshi thought for a while and said: "But this plan only applies to you. Only if you go in person can I rest assured."
Zhang Fei said: "It is precisely because of this that I do not choose to go immediately, because if I go and fail, there will be no room for relaxation. If they fail, I will still have a chance. In addition, if something goes wrong with me, Meng Zhi
They will definitely give all the responsibility to me, whether Bachelor Wang will save me or not."
Wang Anshi frowned upon hearing this.
This is really a problem. Zhang Fei went there on behalf of the Public Security Bureau, and this opening represents the core interests of the reformists. If anything goes wrong, the reformists will definitely overthrow the Public Security Bureau, and they will definitely kill Zhang Fei.
At that time, Wang Anshi will help or not.
After thinking for a while, Wang Anshi asked again: "Who do you recommend to go?"
Zhang Fei told the truth.
"Old Piff Fan?"
Wang Anshi was furious, "If you let that old man go, aren't you deliberately causing trouble for Wang Shao?"
Zhang Fei hurriedly explained: "This is not what I asked for, it was what Bachelor Sima asked for, as one of the conditions."
Sima Guang was also willing to take the blame, after all, it would make Wang Anshi angry!
Wang Anshi gritted his teeth and said: "That old thief Sima is so selfish that I don't even want to talk about it. But you have to think about the overall situation. How can they succeed if they don't cooperate with each other?"
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Xueshi Wang, please calm down and listen to my explanation. I know the conflict between Wang Xueshi and Mr. Fan, but Wang Xueshi believes in me. Mr. Fan in the procuratorate will definitely deal with it impartially and will never do it intentionally."
Create trouble for Wang Xuanfu."
Wang Anshi snorted: "Even if you deal with things impartially, you can also be selfish. And you have to understand that in war, you may not be able to completely abide by the law and obey the authority when the matter is urgent. Don't you understand?"
Zhang Fei almost cried, "I know this, so I don't dare to go there right away. If I go, at least on the surface I have to behave impartially. If something really goes wrong and I can't cover it up, what can I do?"
But if there is a conflict between them, then it will be more convincing if I mediate.
Moreover, this is also one of the reasons for establishing a major trading town. As long as Wang Xuanfu does not go there, Mr. Fan will not be able to control it. The money earned will be directly transferred from Majia Jiekupu to the army.
"
Of course Wang Anshi was not willing. He was the one who drove Fan Zhen away, and now he is using him. Isn't this condescension to sue for peace? He said, "Isn't there any other way?"
Zhang Fei said: "This is the best way, and I also think it is fair, because Bachelor Sima and others will also bear the risk for this."
Wang Anshi thought for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He glared at Zhang Fei and said, "It's all your fault, kid."
Zhang Fei asked back: "Is it possible that Academician Wang is ready to take back the five states of Xihe today?"
Wang Anshi blinked. Of course he was not prepared. Who would have thought that it would go so smoothly? It sounds great, but with such a large piece of land suddenly, the management costs can be imagined, so Wang Shao is so anxious.
"Okay, I agree to the old thief's conditions for the time being."
Wang Anshi was very unwilling to compromise.
According to historical records, he had driven out all the conservative forces at this time, and he was able to be dictatorial in the central government. But now the conservative forces are very powerful, and they are closely related to the emperor's interests. After all, in Qingzhou, the emperor has already
Once the decision is made, they can only make certain compromises, otherwise, they will face great difficulties.
...
After Wang Anshi left, Xu Zun and his daughter came out of the backyard.
"How about it?"
Xu Zhiqian asked impatiently.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Fei told his overall plan.
Xu Zhiqian didn't quite understand this strategy, so she just looked at her father.
Xu Zun pondered for a while and nodded slightly, "Actually, this is fine. After all, the problems on Jingdong East Road have not yet been solved. If you rush there at this time, you will lose more than you gain."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I think so too."
...
I still remember that after Zhang Fei left Hezhong Mansion, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang immediately fought to the death. Originally, this incident would definitely trigger another vicious fight between the two factions.
Due to political considerations, the conservatives will definitely oppose it to the end, but if they don't really want to stop the frontline war, they can't stop it. After all, it is related to the emperor's authority.
They just expressed their attitude first and told the emperor that the finances are insufficient and may not be able to support the opening of the Xihe River. When problems arise in the northwest, you will be fully responsible.
This will put tons of pressure on Zhao Xu.
Now that Zhang Fei is back, both sides can know the other side's attitude through Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei is a key figure in it. He has stated that his attitude will not change for the time being, and both sides have to make corresponding adjustments.
This instead gave them an opportunity to compromise with each other.
The Ordinance Department of the Second Government was established.
Lu Huiqing said: "The students think that unless Zhang San goes there in person, there is no need to go to the public prosecutor's office. The people recommended by Sima Bachelor will definitely cause trouble for Wang Xuanfu, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
They completely distrust the conservatives and have reservations about Zhang Fei, but for now, Zhang Fei is still safeguarding their interests and has not betrayed them. The key is that Wang Shao named him to build the local public security law, so in the other side's camp
Among them, only Zhang Fei can be trusted.
Wang Anshi sighed: "But for now, we still need each other's support. Otherwise, it will be difficult for Shaanxi Road to give Xihe its full support."
Lu Huiqing said: "Then we can only let Zhang San go."
Wang Anshi said: "It's not that Zhang San said he couldn't go, but that he wanted to send someone to explore the way first. You have dealt with him, and you should also know that although this guy is very young, the city is very deep.
He will think carefully before doing anything. If he is not sure, he will not try it easily. He was not even willing to be an official at first, which shows how careful he is."
"That's true." Lu Huiqing nodded and asked, "Who would the other party recommend to go?"
Wang Anshi really didn't dare to say that he would let Fan Zhen go over. He shook his head and said: "Zhang San can't make the decision on this kind of thing. Sima Junshi has to make the decision, but he is definitely not the candidate we are satisfied with."
Give Lu Huiqing a vaccination first.
Lu Huiqing struggled for a while, "Teacher, if you have to seek the other party's support for everything, it will not be conducive to the development of the New Deal!"
Wang Anshi said: "This is unusual. It is really such a great victory and such great results that we were not prepared. If we had known that we would achieve such a success, we would have been prepared and we would not have been restrained by them. In the future,
We must be fully prepared to use troops against Xixia to avoid making the same mistake again."
Not only them, but also the imperial court was not prepared for this.
It can be seen that the Song Dynasty was not so confident in its own military. If it was the Tang Dynasty, especially during the Zhenguan period, they would fight like this. Tang Taizong would first instigate rebellion, pull waves, and fight again. When the time was right, he would find an excuse to send troops.
, wars are carried out very quickly and the losses are small.
...
Interestingly, the conservatives' views are exactly the same as theirs, and they are not willing to cooperate with the other party.
"If Zhang San is not sure, it proves that Wang Shao's method is not feasible at all. Sending Fan Jingren will only provide the other party with a reason to shirk responsibility. Then we will not be able to escape the blame."
Wen Yanbo shook his head and said.
Fu Bi was slightly hesitant.
This public security law is not a panacea. Whether it can solve the problem or not, don't delay and retreat, it will become more complicated.
Sima Guang also explained: "Fan Jingren just went to inquire about it. If there is a need, Zhang San will still go."
Wen Yanbo said: "Why Wang Shao was so eager to let the Public Security Bureau go? It must be because he was unable to control the local situation and was in a dilemma, so he made a petition to drag the Public Security Bureau into trouble. This shows how dangerous it is.
However, if it succeeds, Wang Jiefu will definitely take all the credit for himself like last time. After all, this strategy is supported by them, and we take such a big risk, not only will we not get any benefits, but we may also
Take all responsibility and think twice about this matter."
Sima Guang was almost convinced by Wen Yanbo. He thought the same way. If he manages well, the credit goes to the other party. If he manages poorly, the responsibility lies entirely with me. So he looked at Fu Bi again, "What does Mr. Fu think?"
Fu Bi glanced at Sima Guang and asked, "Can Zhang San not go?"
Sima Guang sighed: "If he could not go, there wouldn't be so many things."
Fu Bi shook his head and said: "So we have no choice. If Fan Jingren doesn't go, Zhang San will undoubtedly go. And in the eyes of most people, Zhang San represents the Public Security Bureau. If Zhang San goes there, if he fails, the Public Security Bureau will face the consequences.
A big crisis.
We can only support Zhang San’s suggestion and let Fan Jingren go and inquire about it first. If that doesn’t work, then let Zhang San go. Since he said so, he must be somewhat confident.”
The difference between him and Wen Yanbo is that Wen Yanbo is more motivated by political risk considerations, but Fu Bi is now completely leaning towards the Public Security Bureau. His consideration is entirely out of the protection of the Public Security Bureau. At this moment, Zhang Fei
He is too deeply tied to the Public Security Bureau. If Zhang Fei fails in Xihe, the Public Security Bureau will face a great crisis.
If you want to protect the public security system, you must support Zhang Fei.
Sima Guang nodded and looked at Wen Yanbo again.
Wen Yanbo sighed and said rather helplessly: "Having said that, Wang Shaohui must listen to our suggestions and be willing to cooperate with Fan Jingren. Otherwise, the situation will only get worse."
Sima Guang said: "If the public prosecutor goes there, it will be up to him whether to listen or not."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wen Yanbo chuckled and said: "It would be great if it were that simple. But Mr. Fu is right, even if we refuse, Zhang San will definitely
We will go, we have no choice."
...
Zhang Fei is not idle either. Although none of the parties have fully expressed their stance, he still has to convince Ma Tianhao first.
"Go! Go! Go!"
When Ma Tianhao heard about this, he almost had Zhang Fei kicked out with sticks, "You don't even want to go yourself, but you let me go, what are your intentions?"
Zhang Fei was also a little embarrassed, but he still said without changing his expression: "That's because Fourth Brother, you are more suitable than me."
Ma Tianhao snorted: "I'm not Xiaoyi, you can't do this."
This had nothing to do with the charity foundation, so he naturally refused very firmly.
Zhang Fei said: "When I came to Fourth Brother for cooperation for the first time, I asked about the origin of Fourth Brother, the green-faced judge. Fourth Brother was from the Forbidden Army."
"So what?" Ma Tianhao said.
Zhang Fei said: "When we go there, the fourth brother represents the interests of the military and earns military expenses for the military. Therefore, the fourth brother has to understand the Forbidden Army, and that is the biggest advantage."
Ma Tianhao was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, so he waved his hand...!
"I'll refuse later."
Zhang Fei quickly stopped him and said: "Besides, if the interests of the Ma family can be tied to the military, the fourth brother will no longer need to rely on Xiangguo Temple."
Ma Tianhao blinked and then said: "It is better to rely on Xiangguo Temple than to rely on the military."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Hasn't Fourth Brother ever thought about making his own decisions about his own business? Regarding local taxes and salt banknotes, Fourth Brother was trapped in Xiangguo Temple and was forced to follow them to attack the imperial court. It was completely
You cannot put your own interests first.
Wouldn't it be nice if Fourth Brother could build a good relationship with the military and at the same time use Xiangguo Temple to check and balance the military, so that he can make his own decisions?"
"Your Erbi mouth is really annoying."
Ma Tianhao pointed at Zhang Fei in confusion.
These words really hit his weakness. Now he really wants to get out of the control of Xiangguo Temple, but both his pawn shop and his investment in the charity foundation are controlled by Xiangguo Temple.
But as his power grew, he naturally had other ideas.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Fourth brother is also a big client of our law firm, and I am thinking of him wholeheartedly."
Ma Tianhao's expression softened a lot, and he said: "What you said is good, I think so, but I have to act within my ability. How can I, a small businessman, be the representative of the interests of the military? There are so many people inside, how can I
It’s my turn.”
He is from Sanya, and he knows everything about the activities inside. You are not a connected person and have no background, so such good things will not be his turn.
Zhang Fei said: "Now they are begging you, not you asking for help with a shy face. Besides, I, Master Wang, and Envoy Wang Xuan are supporting you, so what are you afraid of? As long as the military leaves all the procurement to you
, you are the representative of the military's interests, and we will decide on this in the capital."
Ma Tianhao said: "Let me think about it."
"What are you still thinking about?" Zhang Fei said: "If it doesn't work out, when you come back, the charity foundation will lend you the money you need first. This is a profitable business."
Ma Tianhao snorted: "If you make a lot of money, will you give me an advantage?"
Zhang Fei said: "This is not to take advantage of you, but to take a fancy to Fourth Brother's ability and your experience in the army."
"Don't mention your experience."
Ma Tianhao pointed to the tattoo on his face, "All my experience is here, and you still let me go."
Zhang Fei said: "I know that you were wrongly accused, Fourth Brother. You wanted to serve the country. If you need it, I can prosecute for you and clear your name."
"no!"
Ma Tianhao said: "I don't want to offend anyone again. Besides, I also like the nickname Green Faced Judge."
Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "This is also the reason why I recommended Fourth Brother, because it involves national interests. I can't find a purely profit-oriented businessman. I know that Fourth Brother has always had the heart to serve the country. Fourth Brother understands
Think about the bigger picture.”
Ma Tianhao rolled his eyes, "How can we warriors be qualified to serve the country?"
Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "Today's officials are different. They are very supportive of military commanders. Legally speaking, they have decided not to tattoo soldiers. Fourth brother, you are the last generation of green-faced judges."
"You are the last...!"
Ma Tianhao glared at him, thought seriously for a long time, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go, why don't I go? You didn't let Xiaoyi go this time, you have some conscience, if I have any shortcomings, you can do it
Take good care of Xiaoyi."
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, what are you talking about? If there is any problem, just run away. I just see that you have the heart to serve the country. I am not asking you to serve the country with loyalty. You will die for the country."
