Yes, this is the Northern Song Dynasty.
A dynasty with the most outstanding civil servants from ancient times to the present.
If anyone comes out at random, it's Su Dongpo.
If a girl is born at random, it will be Li Qingzhao.
Whenever a traitor is caught, it is the great calligrapher Cai Jing.
What's even more hateful is that even Gao Qiu, the "Northern Song Dynasty Messi", can write an extremely beautiful calligraphy poem.
It's really humbling.
...
Dong...Who is Dongpo?
Zhang Fei suddenly realized the seriousness of this problem. When Su Shi asked this question, there might be no more Su Dongpo in the literary world!
This is a great sin!
However, as a fan of Li Qingzhao, I am naturally hostile to Su Dongpo. In the past, Zhang Fei also argued with roommates or netizens about whose lyrics were better, Su Dongpo or Li Qingzhao.
Although Li Qingzhao's father, Li Gefei, was from the Su family, and Su Shi could be said to be Li Qingzhao's master, the problem was that Li Qingzhao was nicknamed "Li Dao Dao". She herself also criticized Su Dongpo, saying that the lyrics written by Su Dongpo were not considered lyrics, but just sentences. It's just an untidy poem.
Then her fans must also imitate their idols. I, Yi An, is the best in the world.
But everyone knows that no matter they are talkative people or keyboard warriors, they all have a fatal weakness, that is, once they see a real person, they will be intimidated faster than anyone else.
Zhang Fei was no exception. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Su...Mr. Su is here to see Grand Bachelor Sima?"
Very well-behaved.
Su Shi was stunned for a moment, "Oh, I'm here to see Zhang San."
What are you looking for? A lawsuit? It seems that the Wutai poem did not happen now! Zhang Fei raised his hand and said: "I am Zhang San."
"Are you Zhang San?"
Su Shi looked at Zhang Fei, frowned and said: "Strange! It's different from what I heard. I heard that Zhang San was dressed in a coquettish dress, with pink face and red lips, neither a man nor a woman, with sinister eyebrows and rat eyes, a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. You look quite mediocre!" "
Zhang Fei was immediately dumbfounded.
Am I mediocre, or should I be jealous?
What should I choose?
Sima Guang stroked his beard and laughed, gloating: "It's rare! It's rare! It's rare for someone to render this kid speechless."
Su Shi seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his words, and quickly asked: "Are you really Zhang San?"
Zhang Fei nodded gloomily: "Yes, I'm Zhang Fei, the bandit's name is Zhang San, also known as Yi'an, also known as Dongpo. He is also known as Langlibai whore."
Sima Guang looked at Zhang Fei in surprise and thought, you only have one poem, but this size is quite complete!
Su Shi suddenly realized, pointed at Zhang Fei and said: "So Dongpo is you!"
Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "That's Zhang Dongpo. I was registering my number just now."
Sima Guang asked: "Su Shi, what do you want from him?"
Su Shi smiled and said: "What else can I do to find Zhang San? Naturally, I would like to file a lawsuit with him."
"Litigation?" Sima Guang asked in surprise: "You just came back and you got into a lawsuit?"
Zhang Fei also looked at Su Shi curiously.
Su Shi suddenly took out a book and said, "Mr. Sima, please see if this is justified by nature."
Sima Guang took it and looked at it, "Zizhan Collection. This is your collection of poems!"
Su Shi immediately said angrily: "Those unscrupulous businessmen are selling my collection of poems and lyrics for money again. There are countless typos, so that's fine. The key is that they also mixed Liu Laoqi's erotic poems into my collection of poems." , isn’t this going to ruin my, Su Shi’s, everlasting reputation?”
Zhang Fei asked: "Who is Liu Laoqi?"
Su Shi said: "Liu Yong, do you know it?"
"...?"
Zhang Fei was sweating slightly and thought, no wonder my idol's nickname is Li Daodun, it turns out that her master is such a person. It is absolutely true to say that literati look down on each other! That's all, I'd better not get involved in the affairs of these elders in the literary world, so as not to be embarrassed.
Let alone him, literary elders like Sima Guang are not easy to keep quiet.
If others say this, Sima Guang has to be fair. No matter how bad Liu Yong is, there is no cat or dog that can fight against him. But it is him, Su Zizhan. This guy is so talented that he is so talented that he can fight against Liu Yong. , then... what can be done.
Even if Liu Yong was alive, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat him. After all, Su Shi passed the imperial examination at a young age, but Liu Yong failed countless times. He only passed the imperial examination after receiving the Enke exam and relaxing the admission criteria.
Sima Guang chuckled and said: "Liu Laoqi's lyrics are pretty good, just be satisfied. Last time, my wife bought you a collection of lyrics. Only the first seven poems were written by you, and the remaining thirteen poems were all written by others. Most of them I don’t recognize, and it seems that one of the songs was written by a singing girl from Baifanlou.”
Su Shi gritted his teeth and said, "These profiteers are really abominable. I will never spare them this time."
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Fei again and said, "Can you tell me?"
Zhang Fei said stupidly: "What are you suing for?"
Su Shi said: "Of course I am suing this bookstore called Jijuxian."
Zhang Fei asked again: "What are you suing it for?"
Su Shi said: "Sue him for stealing my poems."
"Piracy?"
Zhang Fei exclaimed.
"Piracy?" Su Shi was stunned, then thought about it again, and said happily: "Piracy, piracy, this is a good statement. He is indeed a man of great skill. He is really easy to fabricate accusations."
Zhang Fei blinked, are you praising me or derogating me?
Sima Guang frowned and said, "This kind of thing happens all the time. Many officials in the DPRK expressed dissatisfaction with it, but it has been banned repeatedly. There is no law in our DPRK to complain about it."
After all, the status of literati in the Northern Song Dynasty was unprecedented. They actually already had copyright awareness, but they lacked legal awareness.
For example, Sima Guang and others sometimes felt a little unhappy when they saw their articles being used, but they would not say anything to avoid appearing too stingy.
It’s still the same word, pattern.
But Su Shi is different. He often complains about this matter and scolds him when he sees it. After all, he loves Bai Juyi the most, and Bai Juyi is simply a master of complaints and a master of the circle of friends.
It's not enough to complain about him for a salary, you have to write a poem and post it on Moments. You really don't know if he is in Versailles or if he is really too little, maybe both.
Su Shi was no less generous.
Su Shi chuckled and said: "If there were laws to follow, then I would go directly to Kaifeng Mansion. But there are no laws, so I came to Zhang San for help."
Sima Guang also looked at Zhang Fei.
Piracy? copyright? print? Zhang Fei pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. Su is right, there is no law, so I will make one."
Sima Guang was surprised and said: "Come out a law?"
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, but without saying anything more, he said to Su Shi: "Mr. Su, I will take over your lawsuit."
"It's thanks to Zhang San's ear. It's just like the rumors." Su Shi couldn't help but look at him sideways and said, "But I have a condition."
Zhang Fei said: "What conditions?"
Su Shi smiled and said, "Not only do you have to sue this bookstore, but you also have to ensure that no one will steal my poems and sell them for money."
I really didn't expect that Su Shi, as a bold and unrestrained person, would live such an exquisite life and file lawsuits so meticulously. Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I also have a condition."
"What conditions?" Su Shi asked.
Zhang Fei said: "A reward of one hundred guan."
"...One hundred strings?"
Su Shi immediately took a breath of air.
The look in Zhang Fei's eyes seemed to say, why don't you go grab the official silver?
That annoying tooth man is not as cruel as you!
Zhang Fei nodded and said seriously: "Today is the reopening of our law firm, so I will give you, Mr. Su, 20% off the price."
"Two folds will cost you a hundred guan? Then I'll treat you to 500 guan in normal times?"
Su Shi was dumbfounded.
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "If Mr. Su doesn't believe this, you can ask Grand Master Sima."
Sima Guang stroked his beard and smiled, looked around and said, "Su Shi, look, he has just opened, but there is not even a single guest. You know that most people don't dare to come to him to file a lawsuit."
Wow... are you so poisonous?
Zhang Fei glanced at Sima Guang awkwardly, not knowing how to refute.
Su Shi said doubtfully: "But I heard that you filed a lawsuit for that historian, but you didn't receive any money."
"That's my wife."
"And you filed a lawsuit for that Li Si, but you didn't receive a penny."
"That's my little brother."
"Cao Yanei...?"
"Oh, Yameni spent two thousand guan."
"...?"
Su Shi thought for a moment, should I be his uncle or his eldest brother?
The price is really too much!
Su Shi had just returned from observing his filial piety. How could he have so much money? He pondered for a moment, "This gathering of talented people stole my poems and sold them. Can't they compensate me for the loss?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Of course."
Su Shi said: "I want to claim one hundred guan."
Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said: "It's reasonable."
Su Shi immediately said: "In this way, you can use the money Jijuxian compensates me as a reward. I don't want a penny."
Zhang Fei was about to nod when he suddenly realized: "This is unreasonable! Even if you lose, you still have to pay me! After all, I have worked hard."
Su Shi chuckled and said: "If you lose, I will replenish it for you no matter how much it is."
"All right!"
Zhang Fei nodded helplessly. Su Shi's mind was spinning very fast. If he lost, Zhang Fei would lose more than a hundred strings. However, as a fan of Qingzhao, Zhang Fei was unwilling to let Su Shi take advantage of him. He pondered a little and said : "Since Mr. Su has so much confidence in me, I can't let Mr. Su down. In order to show my determination to win, I won't charge a penny from Mr. Su, but all the compensation from this lawsuit will belong to me. "
Su Shi looked at Zhang Fei, hesitated, and then secretly glanced at Sima Guang.
Sima Guang kindly advised: "You can't defeat him in this kind of thing, so don't use your brain."
Su Shi smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Sima was convinced of his defeat last time."
Sima Guang glared at him, "Well, Su Zizhan, you really haven't changed at all!"
"Sorry! Sorry! It was the junior who made a mistake." Su Shi quickly cupped his hands and said to Zhang Fei, "I'd better give him the money."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "That's okay."
Um?
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Su Shi couldn't help but think again, "I'd better do as you say!"
Sima Guang couldn't help laughing and said: "You are really trying to do what you do best, and you are asking for trouble."
Su Shi smiled awkwardly.
"Zhang San! Zhang San!"
Suddenly, a shouting sound was heard outside the door.
I saw Cao Dongdong, Ma Xiaoyi, and Fu Shichun walking in swaggeringly.
"Oops! Uncle Sima is here too, isn't he? I won't disturb Uncle Sima anymore. I'll take my leave."
The few people who had just emerged immediately ran away again.
No dandy would want to stay under the same roof with an old man like Sima Guang.
That's pure self-abuse.
Sima Guang just smiled and shook his head.
Zhang Fei didn't pay attention, and immediately asked someone to prepare pen and ink, preparing to sign a formal employment contract with Su Shi.
"You still need me to write?" Su Shi said in surprise.
Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "I know Mr. Su is very knowledgeable. I'm afraid the contract written by the shop may not be in Mr. Su's eyes. Why don't you write it yourself, Mr. Su?"
Su Shi smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
Soon, Su Shi wrote two copies.
Of course, this cannot be written as a contract of the bold and unconstrained faction. Zhang Fei also proposed some rigid sentence patterns, and Su Shi was free to use the rest.
"Two copies are not enough?" Seeing Zhang Fei hand over a piece of yellow paper, Su Shi couldn't help but look at Zhang Fei in surprise.
Zhang Fei said: "Well, our firm is a partnership. The bookstore has one copy, and I personally have to get one."
Su Shi didn't pay attention and wrote another copy.
Zhang Fei took it over carefully, feeling secretly happy that this should be kept well and left to our descendants so that they could brag about it to their classmates. I remember that Su Shi also brought a lawsuit against my ancestors back then. hey-hey....
