at dusk.
Gao Wenyin came to the lake and shouted to Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian in the pavilion: "Sanlang, Zhiqian, it's time to eat."
Xu Zhiqian replied: "Sister Gao, we..."
Zhang Fei answered first: "We will be here soon."
Gao Wenyin saw that the table was full of copywriters and knew that they were busy with official duties, so she didn't bother them. She stood at the intersection and said, "Then I'll go back and prepare. You can come over later, it doesn't matter."
"OK."
Zhang Fei put down the copywriting in his hands, rubbed his eyes with both hands, and looked at Xu Zhiqian, "This work will never be finished."
"Then have you thought of how to deal with it?" Xu Zhiqian said while sorting out the copywriting on the table.
Zhang Fei frowned slightly, "Actually, regarding the salt banknotes, I had thought about this issue before I came here, so I came prepared and it was not unexpected."
Xu Zhiqian said excitedly: "Then why are you still worried?"
Zhang Fei sighed: "I'm not worried that the imperial court is too powerful and can decide the interests of too many people, which will force more and more people to stand opposite us. What I am considering now is whether to hold a trial."
The reason why he can do well in the capital is that he eats from three families and can jump left and right. Originally, he came here with a plan to fight one after another, but the other party didn't even give him a chance to breathe.
You can't offend everyone right from the start.
Xu Zhiqian asked curiously: "If there is no trial, how will it be resolved?"
Zhang Fei said: "Private settlement, after all, this is just a contract dispute, not a criminal case. Private settlement is normal."
Xu Zhiqian said: "If a businessman and the government reconcile privately, the businessman will definitely suffer a loss. How can the businessman be willing?"
Zhang Fei said: "Private reconciliation does not mean that we don't care, but that we mediate."
Xu Zhiqian pondered for a while and said: "I think we can't take a step back, otherwise, the other side will definitely think that we are jealous and will be aggressive. You must know that the other side provoked this matter in the first place. If you can do something about it, , it’s better to suppress them first and make them afraid.”
Zhang Fei said: "The reason why they dare to provoke this matter is that they know that if the businessman wins, it will not affect their interests, but may cause financial problems, so that the northwest military cannot get enough military expenditures, resulting in The military is also on their side, which is the last thing I want to see.
The key point is that if we want to handle this matter well, we must cooperate with them. If we make a judgment and they can't come up with a solution, it will be very bad. Therefore, I have to discuss with them how to deal with the salt banknotes. If we directly If the trial goes to trial, will the other party still be willing to cooperate with me? "
The black and white writing on this piece of paper is clear and unambiguous. According to the law, the businessman must win the case. If Zhang Fei were to fight this lawsuit, he would be able to convict him of fraud.
However, the imperial court can only judge whether it is legal or not, and cannot teach the salt officer how to do things.
There is definitely still a need to reform salt banknotes.
If you make a ruling, but the other party cannot come up with a policy to make up for it, or is unwilling to change, this will become very troublesome and will affect the northwest military.
Therefore, we must first discuss with the opponent before the imperial court can take any follow-up actions.
"you are right!"
Xu Zhiqian suddenly stood up.
Zhang Fei looked up at her.
"Let's eat first." Xu Zhiqian said with a depressed look: "Listening to what you said, this matter seems to be getting more and more complicated."
Zhang Fei laughed and stood up, "If you want to blame that bastard Zhonge, no one knows where he is. If the case had been tried first, I would have been a lover in the army. Why would I be like this?"
The most irritating thing is that the other party is not given any hint that it must be dealt with fairly.
We can only wait for them!
Fortunately, the procuratorate cannot file a lawsuit on behalf of the businessmen. It can only tell them that they can initiate a lawsuit themselves, or they can invite Erbi and Chashiren. Currently, they have to wait for the businessmen to file a lawsuit themselves.
Zhang Fei also quickly asked Dagou to investigate the matter secretly.
But within two days, the big dog came all the way.
"Did you find out so quickly?"
Zhang Fei looked at the big dog in surprise.
The big dog chuckled: "President Zhang must have guessed it, right?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "What did I guess?"
The big dog's expression was stagnant, and then he said sarcastically: "What I mean is, if the people behind the scenes are behind the scenes, then we will definitely not be able to get the news so quickly, so... So this matter is actually the businessmen who want to sue."
"merchant?"
"It can't be wrong."
Big Dog said: "Actually, they didn't hide this matter. Many salt merchants knew about it. There are just a few salt merchants and banknote merchants who don't want to do it anymore. They think that the court is not keeping its promises. The salt banknotes are getting more and more, which is just right. When they encountered this case again, they saw that the imperial court could still rule the government in breach of contract, so they decided to give it a try and make the last profit."
"No wonder..."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I said they should calm down and not be so anxious. Are they really not afraid at all? These businessmen are really shrewd."
Big Dog said: "These salt merchants can be said to be the smartest businessmen in the world. It's no wonder that the court is always on guard against them and prevents them from getting bigger. Otherwise, they will definitely become a hidden danger."
Having said this, he whispered: "In fact, the real big salt merchants all have big backers, and they are also secretly supporting those salt merchants to file lawsuits. No matter how the imperial court decides, they will benefit."
Zhang Fei just smiled slightly, but thought in his heart, the world is as dark as crows, no one can tell anyone.
But the strange thing is that after three or four days, there was no movement from the merchant.
Whether it was Xu Zhiqian, Cai Jing or others, they all guessed that the businessmen were afraid when they saw that the procuratorate did not make decisions for them, so they did not dare to prosecute.
Zhang Fei was of course happy to see it.
Brother, come later!
Let me take a breath first.
Don't worry!
However, it's really just a little late.
"Li Min has met President Zhang."
This Li Min is also Li Guozhong's adopted son. When Zhang Fei invited Li Guozhong and others to open a branch, they said they would consider it, but they were very honest.
It doesn't cost much to send a few people here, just in case it works.
"When did you come?"
Zhang Fei asked with a smile.
Li Min said sarcastically: "It's been a few months."
Zhang Fei yelled: "You got there before me!"
Li Min nodded honestly.
He had been here a long time ago and had never dared to announce it. Li Guozhong had repeatedly warned them that they must wait until the imperial court was established before starting operations.
Without Zhang Fei, they would soon be eaten alive.
Of course Zhang Fei knew in his heart that Qiu Zhengwen was probably here too, but he had given instructions to keep a distance from him and asked, "Then why did you come to see me today?"
Li Min said humbly: "It's like this. Recently, a group of salt merchants want to sue the government for breach of contract. The salt banknotes in their hands cannot be exchanged for a sufficient amount of salt."
Zhang Fei frowned, "You didn't say anything, how could they find you."
Li Min hurriedly said: "Ouch! President Zhang, please don't misunderstand me. I haven't negotiated with them yet, but at present, the people in Hezhong Prefecture don't dare to accept it, so I'm thinking about it."
Zhang Fei suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the salt merchants had not come to the door for a long time. It turned out that they could not find anyone to write the petition. The local tea-eaters and Erbi had never seen the world. They went to sue the government for breach of contract. Who dared to accept it? Don't you want to get lost?
But Li Min had stayed in Kaifeng Mansion and had seen the world, so he knew that he could sue.
He was thinking that the next lawsuit would be a blockbuster, and he would open this store. If this lawsuit was really handled fairly, he would be sure to win, but the problem was with the government, and he was not sure either. So he came to Zhang Fei , just hoping to determine whether the lawsuit can be won.
If he can't win, then he won't accept it. If he loses the first transaction after opening the door, then who would dare to come to him.
Zhang Fei knew it very well. He thought about it for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "You still want to bribe me?"
"No no no!"
Li Min hurriedly said: "I just want to know if I can sue the government. Is this possible?"
Zhang Fei said: "If there is evidence, of course it is possible, and the president of this court will definitely deal with it fairly."
Li Min felt happy. As long as it was dealt with fairly, the chance of losing this lawsuit was very small. He cupped his fists and said, "Yes, I understand."
"Wait a minute!"
Zhang Fei said: "If you were asked to fight, what result would you pursue?"
Li Min said: "Of course I want the government to exchange salt according to the amount agreed on the salt note."
Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "So this is what Li Xingshou usually teaches you?"
Li Min was stunned and said hurriedly: "I hope President Zhang will give me some advice."
Zhang Fei said: "If it were me, I would ask the court for interest according to the situation. I would use the money to do other business, and I would have to make a little profit! Helping customers recover what originally belongs to them is not a skill. , you have to ask the government for interest back, that’s what you’re capable of, and you can make a big splash.”
Li Min blinked, everyone is stupid.
As expected of Zhang Darer's pen, he is indeed ruthless.
Li Guozhong really can't deal with this.
Zhang Fei smiled and asked, "Don't you dare?"
"No!"
Li Min was startled, "Thank you, President Zhang, for your advice. I know what to do."
If Li Guozhong could send him here, he must have some courage, otherwise, who would dare to go to Hezhong Mansion to file a lawsuit.
After Li Min left, Zhang Fei immediately shouted: "Li Si."
A figure immediately appeared in front of the door, it was Xu Zhiqian.
Zhang Fei was stunned, "Are you eavesdropping?"
"I happened to pass by." Xu Zhiqian quibbled, and then asked hurriedly: "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Fei frowned and said: "You can't avoid this case. You know it. I don't like to be passive. I want to take the initiative."
Just as he was talking, Li Si came to the door in a hurry, "Third brother, please call me."
Zhang Fei said: "Go and ask Academician Yuan to come tomorrow."
"Why!"
But who knew that Yuan Jiang didn't wait until tomorrow and came directly with Li Si.
"Bachelor Yuan, me!"
"I happen to be free today."
Yuan Jiang waved her hands and said with a smile.
This old man is very shrewd. Zhang Fei chuckled twice, "I'm afraid Academician Yuan has already guessed why I invited you here."
Yuan Jiang said: "Salt banknotes."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Exactly. If this matter comes to the imperial court, I will definitely judge the government for breach of contract, but I don't want to appear aggressive. I hope you can reconcile with the merchant privately."
After knowing that it is not the other party who is causing trouble, if he holds another trial, the other party will feel that he is being aggressive.
Yuan Jiang sighed: "How to reconcile? I can't afford so much salt!"
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Scholar Yuan is full of knowledge, how can it be difficult to get Bachelor Yuan for trivial matters?"
Yuan Jiang said: "My method is to delay. The imperial court sent me to improve the salt administration and improve the finances. It will be difficult for me to take out so much salt! The key is that this will also affect It’s hard to touch military expenditures in border states!”
He said it with a sigh.
Zhang Fei pondered for a while and said, "I have an idea."
Yuan Jiang perked up and asked hurriedly: "What's the clever plan for President Zhang?"
I said why are you here in such a hurry? It turns out you have convinced me. Zhang Fei knew this, but he had no choice. If the government couldn't handle it, he wouldn't dare to judge. He pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, my method is just a slight change from Bachelor Yuan's method."
Yuan Jiang was surprised and said: "My way?"
"drag!"
".?"
Yuan Jiang looked at Zhang Fei doubtfully.
Is that my solution?
It’s obviously perfunctory!
Zhang Fei said: "If you drag someone without skills, you are called a scoundrel, commonly known as an old scoundrel."
As expected of Zhang Daer, this mouth is really powerful! Yuan Jiang asked: "Then what is skillful procrastination?"
Zhang Fei said: "That is to turn the salt banknotes they currently hold into debt, calculate the interest for them every year, and then agree on a year to return the principal."
