Zhang Fei looked at Sima Guang with a cute expression on his face, "Master Sima, this...is this the name of a dish?"
Sima Guang walked over, with a smile on his face, but his sharp eyes seemed to say, you kid, don't pretend to be soft in front of me, it's not like we haven't fought before.
Zhang Fei coughed in embarrassment: "Maybe...maybe Grand Scholar Sima meant killing people to kill the heart, but that's true. They have already restricted my qualifications to sue, and they still want to beat me and kill me. It's really murderous."
It’s heartbreaking!”
Sima Guang chuckled and said: "This is not called killing people and killing people, but it is his own evil and he will not live. Alas... I have worked with him for so many years, and I found that his mind is so narrow-minded."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It's all because of my humble status. If I were a little higher, maybe this wouldn't be the case."
"Haha!"
Sima Guang laughed a few times and said noncommittally: "Since you see so clearly, why do you shut out Wang Jiefu's kindness?"
Zhang Fei asked in astonishment: "Why are you being turned away?"
Sima Guang said: "I heard that Wang Jiefu planned to recommend you to become an official, but you rejected it. How many people want to be officials but can't. Why don't you cherish such a great opportunity?"
Zhang Fei looked stunned and sighed half-seriously: "I have neither fame nor family background. Even if I become an official, I'm afraid I can only help others run errands. Instead of going to the court and asking for grievances, it's better to stay here."
The market is free and easy."
"Carefree?"
Sima Guang shook his head and said: "You have offended so many people, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to feel free and easy!"
Zhang Fei said: "If you enter the officialdom, you will probably die a worse death. Although the stone beside the latrine is smelly and hard, and you will trip from time to time, no one will touch it. The porcelain cup on the table
, although they are exquisite and expensive, they cannot escape the fate of being broken, such as the porcelain cups in Wang Sinong’s house.”
Sima Guang laughed and nodded: "Actually, I have the same view as you. I also think that the identity of the people of Erbi is more suitable for you now. Entering the officialdom will restrict your talents. No,
It’s good for your future.”
Zhang Fei looked slightly confused and said: "When did Grand Scholar Sima care about me so much?"
Sima Guang glanced at him, "What? Do you think I am the unreasonable person? Or the petty person?"
"I dare not." Zhang Fei turned to ask: "Master Sima finally agreed with the verdict of Ayun's case?"
He knew that historically, Sima Guang was deeply worried about this case.
This is also the grudge between him and Sima Guang.
Sima Guang hummed: "Don't even think about it. In Ayun's case, I just lost, but not wrong. You just won, not right."
Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Grand Bachelor Sima, for your understanding. Actually, I don't want to prove that I am right. I just want to repay the kindness of saving my life."
Sima Guang nodded with a smile, "I know this. In fact, after several recent events, I also discovered that your kid is not bad-hearted, and at a young age, you are not afraid of the powerful and dare to fight for fairness.
, It’s really commendable, no wonder Xu Zhongtuhen values you so much.”
Is this old fox pouring ecstasy soup into me? Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Grandmaster Sima suddenly praised me like this, I am really flattered!"
Sima Guang chuckled and said: "It's neither scolding you nor complimenting you. What do you want?"
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "It's better to praise it."
Sima Guang added: "Actually, regarding the case of Li Siyi, the restriction of litigation rights, and the case of Wang Wenshan, I support you. At the same time, I also hope that you can use your talents to avenge more people who have been wronged.
."
A flash of doubt flashed in Zhang Fei's eyes, but he sighed heavily: "I think so too, but now I can't even go to court, so how can I complain for the people?"
Sima Guang looked at him sideways.
Zhang Fei felt a little guilty when he looked at him, "Why is Grand Bachelor Sima looking at me like this?"
Sima Guang chuckled: "Wang Wenshan has been expelled from the capital, but you still refuse to give up. You came here early in the morning and kicked him in the face. At first, he only restricted your right to litigate, but you made a mortgage to make him
I can't sleep at night, you are willing to suffer this cowardice, just because you have already obtained the qualification to litigate, and even if you haven't, it will probably be soon."
Wow...how long has this old fox been observing me? Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Grandmaester Sima thinks highly of me too much. I do it for survival, not for fighting spirit."
Sima Guang said: "Okay! I'm going to help you get the right to file a lawsuit. It's just a piece of cake."
"Ah? Well, no reward will be given for no merit, and besides, I don't dare to bother Grand Scholar Sima with such a trivial matter." Zhang Fei chuckled.
He wanted to vent his anger on his own, and if Sima Guang helped, it would be unpleasant. The key is that he has already obtained the right to litigate, and it depends on when he gives them a surprise.
Sima Guang pointed at Zhang Fei, "You kid...!"
He is obviously trying to win over me. What does he want from me? Forget it for now. I have nothing to lose anyway. Since he wants to win over me, let me get the benefits first.
Zhang Fei didn't care at all about being used by others, because this just proved that he was valuable. He glanced at Sima Guang and sighed: "Even if I want to get back my right to litigate, there is nothing I can do."
Limited, it may not even be enough to support the family."
Sima Guang asked: "What do you want?"
Zhang Fei said: "Actually, I have always had a bold idea, but I just didn't dare to do it. If I have the support of Grand Master Sima, then the common people will not be afraid."
Sima Guang said: "What do you think?"
Zhang Fei said: "Calculate taxes."
Sima Guang looked at him doubtfully, "Tax calculation?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Actually, there are only a few criminal cases throughout the year, so they are unlikely to endanger the country's stability. What really causes disputes is money, and the most important one is taxes.
I just want to use my understanding of tax laws to help people calculate taxes and provide legal guarantees, so as to reduce the burden on people."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
He said it very cryptically, but Sima Guang understood it as soon as he heard it. If this plan can be successful, the phenomenon of arbitrary tax collection will be reduced to a certain extent.
It is equivalent to building a wall among the people.
This is wonderful!
It is also in line with Sima Guang’s political philosophy.
After thinking for a while, Sima Guang raised his head and looked at Zhang Fei in surprise, "Is this what you thought of?"
Zhang Fei nodded.
Sima Guang asked again: "How did you think of it?"
To put it more seriously, it means having the world in mind rather than complaining about injustices in the world.
Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "I told you, Bachelor of Sima, don't laugh at me!"
"Say!"
"The rich businessmen in this world are basically big landowners. The reason is very simple, because the land can grow food and mulberry trees, and food and cloth are indispensable for everyone's life. In addition, there are
Even taxes are indispensable."
"That's it!"
Sima Guang suddenly realized that everyone has to pay taxes. If one person comes out to guarantee it and it can still succeed, he will make crazy money. Suddenly he no longer has any doubts. He laughed and said: "I don't see that you are quite good at doing business."
talent."
"Where! Where!" Zhang Fei smiled honestly: "But Grand Bachelor Sima also knows that this is not easy, if...!"
Before he could finish speaking, Sima Guang said: "I will definitely support you. I hope this matter can be completed as soon as possible."
The tone is very firm.
Zhang Fei hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you! Thank you very much!"
But I was muttering in my heart, it seems that he really wants to win me over, is it because of my talent or my appearance...?
Sima Guang glanced at him and suddenly asked: "By the way, I have always wanted to ask you something, but I just haven't found the opportunity."
"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "If you have anything to say, Grand Master Sima, just give me your orders."
The tone sounds different.
Sima Guang asked: "How did you convince Wang Jiefu to agree to help guarantee the mortgage?"
Zhang Fei was stunned, but he did not expect that Sima Guang would ask this question, and said: "Of course it is moved with emotion and understood with reason. In the matter of housing loans, officials benefit, businessmen benefit, and the court also benefits. Wang Daxue
Scholars serve the country and the people, so how can they be turned away?"
Sima Guang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I am not pointing out the pros and cons."
"Then what does Sima University mean?"
"Based on my understanding of Wang Jiefu, the first thing he should think of is that the court itself should take care of it instead of handing over the mortgage to businessmen."
It seems that there is not only naked hatred between colleagues, but also a mutual understanding that is better than that of husband and wife.
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Master Wang did mention this matter."
Sima Guang hurriedly asked: "How did you convince him?"
Zhang Fei said truthfully: "I came up with this idea, and my request is to do it for businessmen. Although Academician Wang is stubborn, he is also reasonable. If he takes my suggestion and does not agree to my conditions, then
This is not what a gentleman should do."
Sima Guang slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "That's it!"
Zhang Fei looked at Sima Guang in surprise, what's so exciting about this.
Little did he know that Sima Guang had been thinking about this issue in those days. At that time, he thought that Wang Anshi had changed his gender, but later he saw that this was not the case. Therefore, he guessed that this idea was not thought of by Wang Anshi himself, but by Zhang Fei. He was very fond of it.
I’m curious how Zhang Fei persuaded Wang Anshi.
After all, he rarely persuades.
Sima Guang didn't notice Zhang Fei's gaze and asked again: "If you agree to Wang Jiefu, maybe he will give you a more generous reward?"
Zhang Fei's eyes flashed and he said: "The reason why I am where I am today is that I have never done anything that harmed the country or the people. If this matter is left to the court, it would be tantamount to competing with the people for profit, and the interests of the people are not the same.
It is the interests of the imperial court. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
"Well said!"
Sima Guang suddenly became excited, "How come Wang Jiefu can't understand such a simple truth?"
Zhang Fei pretended not to know and asked: "How do you say this?"
"He..."
Sima Guang waved his hand, "This has nothing to do with you." After saying that, he looked at Zhang Fei again, his eyes full of admiration, and felt that it was too late to meet him. He raised his hand and patted Zhang Fei's arm gently, "As long as you are sincere
Remember what you said today, I will definitely support you."
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Thank you, Bachelor Sima."
