Although Zhang Fei came to Wang's house immediately, he did not try to sneak in every opportunity, but built a plank road openly and secretly visited Chencang.
Because he knew that Wang Anshi would definitely establish the third department of regulations to take charge of the world's financial power.
If that's the case, why would he compromise with Sansi?
After all, Sansi has a mature system and extensive influence, and his role in it is not big.
This can also be seen from the attitude of Sansi towards him.
Sansi just hopes that he won't cause trouble, that's all, and doesn't need his help.
The Ordinance Department of the Third Department of Establishment was a newly created department with the full support of the emperor, but at the same time it was in urgent need of manpower.
As long as you are not stupid, you will choose the latter.
Therefore, Zhang Fei acted very tough when facing Sansi, the most powerful government office in the Song Dynasty.
No matter how you encircle and suppress me, I will not compromise.
But he didn't make any move to fight back.
In fact, he has been waiting.
This moment finally arrived for him.
Bianjing Law Firm.
Fan Li stood respectfully aside, looking excitedly at Lu Huiqing, who was sitting in the same seat as Zhang Fei.
After a while, Lu Huiqing put down the essay in his hand and smiled at Zhang Fei: "He is indeed the famous Ear Pen Zhang Sanlang. He thinks more carefully than us."
This plan is about the tax calculation plan and protection plan for royalties.
In fact, the latter is more important.
The biggest problem with royalty laws is how to protect them.
For example, there is no way to hide the land deed tax. The court can easily take back the land and residence, but if it is stolen, it can be hidden.
How could Wang Anshi have so much manpower and material resources to supervise this matter?
If the tax calculation is handed over to Bianjing Law Firm, then the law firm can also provide legal protection for tax calculation. In this way, they will set up three regulations departments and do nothing. They can just collect taxes.
If a problem arises, the law firm can directly file a lawsuit and leave it to the judiciary for resolution.
This can relieve them of a lot of burden.
The only thing they have to supervise is Bianjing Law Firm.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment. The purpose of our firm is to help customers solve problems without causing any trouble to them."
Lu Huiqing said with a half-smile, "So you regard us as customers!"
This guy is not easy to deal with! Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Customers are our bread and butter, and our respect for our customers is unparalleled. This can also prevent us from confusing people."
The so-called misleading people naturally implies collusion between officials and businessmen.
Lu Huiqing nodded slightly and said: "This is indeed the best way to handle it. Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
"We will never betray the trust of Academician Wang and Xiaokan Lu." Zhang Fei expressed his gratitude.
After sending Lu Huiqing away, Zhang Fei slapped Fan Li's chest with the official documents from the Regulations Department of the Third Division, "Try to ignore Li Guozhong and the others as much as possible from now on."
Fan Li held the official document and giggled.
How could he have foreseen that the situation within the imperial court would suddenly change, and another Department of Regulations and Regulations would appear to directly rob the power of the Third Department of Yamen, the most powerful government office in the Song Dynasty.
This is really beyond my wildest dreams.
But it happened.
After this official document was issued, the attitude was very clear. The Regulations Department of the Third Construction Division would fully support their Bianjing Law Firm.
The morale of the entire office was boosted.
Since their first day of misfortune, Bianjing Law Firm's ear pens have been ridiculed by many, but now they can be proud of themselves.
"Our preparations are still slightly insufficient!"
Zhang Fei, who returned to the store, sat down and spoke to Fan Liyan again.
Fan Li said sarcastically: "There are some shortcomings, but there is nothing we can do about it. How could anyone be willing to come to our store the way Sansi treated us before?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I know this too, but now...!"
Fan Li said hurriedly: "Don't worry about this, I will recruit people right away. I believe it won't take long."
Zhang Fei hummed, and then said: "Also, ask the dentist how much the government official will take when paying commercial taxes."
Fan Li asked: "Why do you ask this?"
Zhang Fei said: "Although we have to guarantee our tax calculation, we cannot guarantee every penny. You should also know that some servants do not have much salary and rely on collecting tolls to make a living. If we guarantee every penny, , we will have endless lawsuits and will also anger the court.
Therefore, we have to provide a protection range. Errors within this range are reasonable. Only errors that exceed the range are unreasonable, and we are obliged to litigate for them. "
"Yes, yes, Saburo, you are very thoughtful."
Fan Li nodded, sweating slightly on his forehead.
If it can be successful, this will indeed be a profitable business, but if you don't consider some details carefully, your life will be in danger.
If you don't do it right, you're just playing with fire and burning yourself.
As great as the benefits are, so are the risks.
In fact, the Northern Song Dynasty court attached great importance to business, and also formulated strict laws on collecting business taxes. However, after all, communications were not developed in ancient times, so people still needed to rule.
If we don't give those government agencies some benefits, they won't try their best to collect taxes.
Just like that store housekeeper.
You still have to consider some humane things, such as stuffing a pack of cigarettes or giving a chicken. There is no need to sue others.
But if you want to detain someone's entire ship's cargo, of course that's not possible.
The scope given by Zhang Fei is actually the sophistication of human nature.
Before he could take a breath, Yan Jidao arrived.
"Mr. Yan is really trustworthy." Zhang Fei came up to greet him and said with cupped hands.
Yan Jidao raised his hand and returned the greeting: "Where, where, Sanlang is the one who is so capable. He got justice for my father so quickly. In addition, Sanlang gave me so much preferential treatment, how could I not come?"
After some courtesy, Zhang Fei took out the contract that he had prepared long ago.
"Genuine bookstore?"
Yan Jidao was dumbfounded when he saw the contract.
Isn’t it Jijuxian?
Zhang Fei hurriedly explained: "I have officially changed the name of Jijuxian to the genuine bookstore. The purpose is still to promote the genuine book."
Yan Jidao nodded and said, "That's it."
Zhang Fei added: "In addition, I have set the fee at one hundred guan per year."
Yan Jidao was surprised and said: "So many?"
Zhang Fei said: "This price is not set by me, but by the literati in the world. Yan Xiang's poems and articles are definitely worth the price, and we also believe that we can sell many of them in the future.
But since my bookstore has to be renovated and reprinted this year, whether it can be published this year or not will not be included in the calculation. To put it simply, we signed a six-year contract, but only five years of payment will be counted. "
Yan Jidao did not hesitate so much and nodded: "It's very reasonable."
Zhang Fei added: "In addition, the contract also stipulates Mr. Yan's rights and obligations. We will also provide some samples to Mr. Yan to see if any changes need to be made."
Yan Jidao was feeling dizzy while listening and reading. He really didn't expect that printing a book would be so complicated.
What's even more outrageous is that most of the things he didn't expect were all his own rights and interests, not Zhang Fei's rights and interests.
In this case, the conversation is naturally very pleasant.
On the same day, he signed the first ever work authorization contract with Zhang Fei's genuine bookstore.
...
Alum Tower.
"Establishing the third Ordinance Department?"
Fan Yong looked anxious and said: "Why...why are you so...ahem, who should we listen to in the future?"
He was panicking now.
Because the restaurant industry was the most restricted by the imperial court, suddenly more three companies came out, and the originally bright prospects suddenly became foggy.
Fan Zheng said very calmly: "It is said that the establishment of the Three Regulations Department is mainly used to preside over reforms, but judging from the enactment of the Royalty Law, it should also have the power to reform commercial taxes.
However, it is impossible for Academician Wang to change all the yamen below and replace all the officials. Therefore, Hao'er believes that our Baifanlou should remain unchanged in response to all changes, continue to maintain the existing relationship, and at the same time strengthen the relationship with Zhang Sanlang. "
Nowadays, Bianjing Law Firm is the anchor of the establishment of the Three Regulations Department among the people.
Fan Yong frowned and thought for a long time, "Although what you said makes sense, there must be a conflict between them. We are in a humble position, so it is difficult to weigh them."
Jumping sideways is the most dangerous sport.
Fan Zhengdao: "But we businessmen can also stick together to keep warm. If we unite, I believe the officials above will also have to maintain the relationship with us. Otherwise, they will inevitably push us to the other side.
In addition, the struggle between their two divisions should mainly focus on the court, and the officials below must be just like us. They are all frightened and don't know who to listen to. We can take advantage of this and join forces with them. , they need us too. "
Fan Yong glanced at his son in surprise, stared for a long time, and smiled happily: "Zheng'er, I didn't expect you have grown so much. Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
Fan Zheng immediately said: "The child will definitely not disappoint his father."
As the saying goes, times make heroes!
Normally, Baifan Tower is as stable as a mountain, with no major crises. Fan Yong cannot see his son's true abilities. Today, he suddenly discovered that his son has grown so much.
At such a critical moment, he could still be so calm and analyze so thoroughly.
Even when it comes to dealing with the government, he is still afraid of those who are stronger than him.
This also gave him the idea of handing over power.
...
Shen Mansion.
"How unreasonable! How unreasonable! He, Wang Anshi, wants to turn the world upside down!"
Shen Huaixiao came and paced back and forth in the hall, cursing loudly.
They are no strangers to reforms. Qingli has also changed it once, but it has not been done this way. Everything must be done according to the system and directly start from scratch. What a big deal!
There are no two days in the sky and no two masters among the people. If we do this, wouldn't everything be in chaos?
Tang Ji hummed: "No wonder that Zhang San is so confident. It turns out that he has been colluding with Wang Anshi for a long time. I think he must have known about it for a long time. Why don't we use him to attack the mountain Zhenhu."
Du Xiu immediately said: "No matter how talented he is, he is just a small ear pen. Without Wang Anshi, I'm afraid he won't even have a foothold in the capital. He is just a pawn. Whether he is alive or dead, he will not be able to affect Wang Anshi's reform at all. , if we concentrate on dealing with that kid, we will only gain more than we lose."
Tang Ji spread his hands, "What should we do?"
Shen Huaixiao sighed: "I heard that after Prime Minister Ji had a big quarrel with Wang Anshi, he fell ill when he returned home. Our three divisions are now leaderless. How can we fight with Wang Anshi."
Du Xiu said: "Ji Xiang is an upright man. Even if he is in good health, he is no match for the traitor Wang Anshi. We have to rely on ourselves in this matter."
Tang Ji asked: "What do you think?"
Du Xiu said: "Wang Anshi can start a new company, but it is impossible to create another court. His reforms will have to rely on the yamen below. At this time, we should not act rashly, but should win over the people below and wait for the opportunity."
