In line with the concept of not wasting, in the end both parties took a step back and ate steamed buns and pancakes together.
After meal.
Xu Zhiqian helped Gao Wenyin pack up together. It wasn't that Xu Zhiqian started to realize that she wanted to learn from Gao Wenyin about being thrifty and managing a house, but that she could see that Xu Zun had something to discuss with Zhang Fei.
While they were cleaning up, Zhang Fei walked alone with his father-in-law Xu Zun in the front yard, "My father-in-law seems to have something on his mind."
Xu Zun glanced at him, smiled slightly and said, "I guess you know why I'm upset."
Zhang Fei nodded and asked, "I wonder what my father-in-law thinks of the new law?"
Xu Zundao: "Of course I support it, alas... In fact, everyone is aware of the bad government in the government. No matter Sima Junshi, Fu Gong or Wen Gong, they all want to reform, but in my opinion See, only Wang Jiefu could succeed.
It's not that Fu Gong and Sima Junshi are incompetent, but they are hesitant and indecisive, so they are simply not qualified for this task. "
The current conservatives are not saying that they are opposed to reform. Conservatives also want to reform and eliminate bad governance, but they have different ideas. However, Xu Zun recently worked with Sima Junshi for a year and found that Sima Junshi was not suitable for this job.
Nowadays, the bad policies of the DPRK and China are intertwined with each other, with constant cuts and chaos.
You must be resolute and decisive in order to have any hope of success.
No matter good or bad, looking at it, Xu Zun thought that only Wang Anshi had such courage, and other than him, no one else had humanity.
We can only hope in him.
Of course, Wang Anshi also gave him support, and he remembered this friendship.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "My father-in-law is really hitting the nail on the head."
But Xu Zun suddenly sighed again, "But the current situation in the DPRK and China is not optimistic. There are many opponents, almost accounting for most of the courtiers. I am afraid that there will be another party dispute. The dangers are really daunting."
With the Qingli Party struggle ahead, these old ministers are actually very afraid in their hearts, because as long as there is a party struggle, it will be life and death, and there is no right or wrong.
Zhang Fei pondered for a while and said, "Father-in-law, just follow your heart."
"From your heart?"
Xu Zun stroked his beard: "You mean, you want me to support Wang Jiefu?"
Zhang Fei nodded.
Xu Zun couldn't help but look worried. He also wanted to support Wang Anshi, but he was also afraid of getting involved in this struggle.
Although he is selfless in terms of the law, he is also like Bao Zheng, who does not take up his position or pursue political affairs. He generally does not pay attention to matters outside the law and does not participate much in court struggles. This is also his magic weapon to protect himself wisely.
Zhang Fei knew what he was worried about, so he said: "Father-in-law, all you need to do is say a fair word for Academician Wang. In fact, the people who object at the moment are not reasonable. It's just..."
】
Xu Zun asked: "Just what?"
Zhang Fei did not answer but asked: "Father-in-law, are you willing to take up the post of prosecutor?"
Xu Zun was very confused when he heard this, "Prosecutor?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "As long as my father-in-law speaks a fair word for Xueshie Wang, Xueshie Wang will definitely recommend my father-in-law to be the prosecutor."
Xu Zun asked: "Why?"
Zhang Fei said: "Father-in-law, do you still remember the lawsuit over the establishment of the Third Ordinance Department?"
Xu Zun nodded and said, "Of course I remember."
Zhang Fei said: "It was already stated at that time that the Ordinance Department of the Second Government will be subject to judicial supervision. So for Wang Xueshi, the Procuratorate will become particularly important. He will definitely find a way to seize the Procuratorate, but the other party will not let him succeed easily. , After counting, my father-in-law is the most suitable candidate."
Xu Zun had not thought about this at all and said: "I don't know how to litigate in court, so I am not qualified for this position."
Zhang Fei said: "Actually, the prosecutor's power is not to litigate in court. This is because Mr. Su and Mr. Fan took this position astray. The prosecutor's main responsibility is to judge whether to file a lawsuit based on the evidence. This requires rich experience." Experience, from this point of view, neither Mr. Fan nor Mr. Su is competent, and I believe that Bachelor Wang will definitely attack them on this point.
At present, my father-in-law, you have a good relationship with Bachelor Sima, and you have a reputation of being selfless. If you recommend your father-in-law, it will be difficult for the other party to refute.
Therefore, my father-in-law can only say a fair word, but cannot show his absolute support for Scholar Wang. "
Xu Zun felt astonished when he heard that. Wang Anshi's next move was all foreseeable by you. He asked tentatively: "Did Academician Wang tell you this?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "Why would Wang Xueshi tell me this? But I know that Mr. Su and others will lose if they plan to sue. No matter whether they succeed or not, as long as they file a lawsuit, Wang Xueshi will definitely fight for the Procuratorate. If he can't win, Prosecutor's Office, he may be in a lot of trouble later."
Xu Zun was hesitant and said, "Then do you want me to go to the procuratorate?"
He knew that Zhang Fei and Zhao Xu maintained a secret relationship. For the Xu family, this was definitely an insurance policy. However, Zhang Fei never stated which side he was on. Xu Zun was also very shrewd and guessed that they might have someone else. The plan was, of course, to follow his son-in-law. Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were by no means good people.
Zhang Fei nodded: "My father-in-law will control the Procuratorate, and Bachelor Sima will control the Trial Court. In this way, the two courts will not become a weapon in the legal battle between the two sides. These two courts are crucial and are the last line to defend justice. "
Xu Zun stroked his beard, "Does that mean you have other plans?"
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Procuratorate was tailor-made for Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei nodded: "After I finish handling the affairs in Tokyo, I will go to work locally."
Xu Zun was slightly startled, "Once the new policy is fully implemented, the local area will be like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs!"
...
This was only the first day, and Xu Zun felt a little scared. Knowing what the situation was like in the court, he was still like this, let alone those wealthy businessmen with money but no power.
This article has been read over and over again, but no matter how I read it, it is always intended to target businessmen.
The article makes it very obvious that this method prevents profiteers from exploiting the people and amassing wealth by taking advantage of the tribute system.
Although this only involves some businessmen, in the eyes of businessmen, this is a signal.
To put it crudely, I have already cut you once, will you care about two more cuts?
Having said that, this businessman amassing wealth through the tribute system can only be said to have bad morals at best, but it is not illegal. Wang Anshi will not let go of this non-illegal income, so those illegal tax incomes can escape ?
The office that had just been relaxed for less than two days immediately became crowded again, but this time there were not many donations. Almost all of them were wealthy businessmen who had the intention to donate land.
At this moment, risk aversion becomes particularly important for them.
The most effective way is to diversify your investments.
Throw some at the temple, some at the household, and some at the charity.
The allure of charities to them is to ensure that they will not go bankrupt, because according to the contract of the charity, their descendants will be guaranteed food, clothing, housing, and education, as well as education.
Maybe no one would care at ordinary times, but at this time, this point becomes particularly important.
...
At the second watch, all the employees of the office had gone off work, including Fan Li. After all, the charity had nothing to do with them. Only Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian were left in the store.
The two workaholics staying here naturally do not need some kind of stimulation.
"Currently, the charitable organization owns more than 800 hectares of land, and the donations donated these days have reached more than 5,300 yuan."
Xu Zhiqian said: "But these are all donated by businessmen, but no officials have come to donate land."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Don't worry, they can't escape. This land is enough for the moment."
"Temporarily?" Xu Zhiqian said: "There may be no money for the time being. Because the land must be harvested first and then converted into coins before it can be used. There may be no money available this year."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Land can be mortgaged."
Xu Zhiqian said in surprise: "Borrow usury?"
Zhang Fei chuckled: "Usury loans are borrowed by ordinary people, and we must be low-interest loans."
Xu Zhiqian said: "Who will lend you a low-interest loan?"
"Ma family!"
Zhang Fei said: "Now that the Ma family has borrowed so much money, they can collect a lot of interest every year. They won't care about borrowing more money. I will negotiate with Ma Laosi at a relatively low interest rate."
Xu Zhiqian said worriedly: "But can your new style of Cuju really make money?"
"It will definitely make money."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "And there will be more and more."
Xu Zhiqian didn't quite believe it.
The profits of the Tokyo 18 clubs are just that. Although they have the support of many powerful people, there is no mention of anyone who opened a football club and became a wealthy businessman.
It can be seen that Zhang Fei is steadfast in his vow and can only take a look before talking. Xu Zhiqian asked again: "What should I do with this donation?"
Zhang Fei said: "It will be divided into two parts. One part will be donated to the people to open ditches, and the other part will be donated to the college."
Xu Zhiqian nodded slightly, "This is reasonable. The money was donated by the doctors, and they will have no objection if it is given to the people or the academy."
Zhang Fei said: "But when you send someone to talk to the college, you have to make it clear that we only donate the Four Treasures of the Study and books, but we must have the right to participate in the compilation of books."
Xu Zhiqian asked in surprise: "You can also edit books?"
Zhang Fei said: "I don't know how, but I can ask someone to edit it!"
Xu Zhiqian said: "That's so troublesome."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Do you think more people study the Analects of Confucius or Litigation nowadays?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "Of course I have studied the Analects a lot."
Zhang Fei said: "If I want to increase the number of talents in litigation, what should I do?"
Xu Zhiqian suddenly realized, "I understand."
Zhang Fei added: "It just so happens that Xiangguo Temple also has requirements, so we will increase our support for the college and it will be continuous. If they want to get more donations from us, it is best to fully Consider our suggestions. After all, whether you donate or not is entirely a matter of kindness, not a stipulation in the contract. Kindness can change."
Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips and smiled: "Your charity is really unique."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "There are so many people in the world who need help. Where can we take care of them? We can only choose the best."
As he said that, he suddenly thought of something, "By the way, I will have to donate an extra thousand guan to the police station. Those who build ditches will also donate to the police station first. Then I can transfer it in one stroke." "
Xu Zhiqian asked curiously: "The police station doesn't need this little money, right? I heard that the car license plates over there are already being sold, and they are making a lot of money!"
Zhang Fei said: "The final destination of this donation is to be donated to Sansi Weiguan to help the police develop weapons suitable for them."
The Third Division is a department that specializes in making weapons. It is still under the Third Division. After Yuanfeng is restructured, it will become the weapons supervisor.
Xu Zhiqian felt confused, "Sansi Weigu? Developing weapons? Are you doing charity?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "The purpose of developing weapons is to reduce unnecessary harm to the people caused by the police in the process of law enforcement. Do you think this is charity?"
Xu Zhiqian asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "The highest meaning of charity is to strengthen the country and make the people rich."
When it comes to politics, Xu Zhiqian is still very knowledgeable, "Okay! I understand. After I sort out the accounts, you can go and talk to the police station yourself."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "It just so happens that I'm going to talk to Yanei and the others about the new Cuju in a few days."
Xu Zhiqian immediately said: "Then I will go with you."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "You are so worried about me!"
Xu Zhiqian snorted: "Your Cuju footwork is really unbelievable."
