Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 56 It's Coming After All
Wang Anshi has always acted vigorously and resolutely in his affairs. After getting the approval of Song Shenzong, he immediately announced the establishment of the Municipal Tax Department and appointed Lu Huiqing as the Municipal Tax Envoy to take charge of all taxes in the city.

In the future, citizens only need to go to the city tax department to pay taxes.

But this is Bianjing, and all the people who live here are rich and powerful.

This move immediately caused a lot of criticism in the court.

Scolding Wang Anshi for being too ignorant of martial arts. At first, he just said that he aimed at lending interest and stimulating housing transactions.

Really shameless.

Some unruly ministers intentionally or unintentionally linked Wang Anshi's practice with imperial power.

Because the fundamental purpose of the current system is to maintain the imperial power and cut the power into pieces, so no one can compete with the emperor.

On the contrary, the concentration of power will pose a threat to imperial power.

However, not everyone is against Wang Anshi. On the contrary, many ministers in the court choose to support Wang Anshi, and some of them really think that this must be changed. This decree has passed through more than a dozen departments, and the result is no result. , this is definitely a big problem.

For example, Chen Shengzhi, the privy envoy, and Lu Gong of Kaifeng Prefecture all publicly supported Wang Anshi.

Another group of people didn't have too many principles. They just saw that Wang Anshi was now trusted by the emperor and he was a big celebrity in front of the emperor. They chose to support Wang Anshi in order to seek superiority.

But the key point is Song Shenzong. Song Shenzong really employs people without suspicion, and doubts people, he gives Wang Anshi great support, and completely ignores those rumors.

As for the old enemy Sima Guang, this time he also changed his normal behavior. Not only did he not object, but he also gave Wang Anshi great support. It was just because of his face that he did not support it publicly, but he privately persuaded those officials who opposed it and explained the stakes. , indicating that this policy is very reasonable.

As far as facts are concerned, this is exactly Sima Guang's ruling philosophy. His philosophy is to reduce expenditure, one of which is to reduce departments, cut expenditures, and streamline officials.

The ministers who opposed saw that the big bosses supported Wang Anshi, and the voice of opposition became smaller and smaller. Wang Wenshan and his like took advantage of the vacancy and pushed the matter to Zhang Fei.

He sucked a wave of hatred for Zhang Fei.

However, neither Wang Anshi nor Zhang Fei has the time to pay attention to these rumors.

As soon as the Municipal Taxation Department approved it, before the door was opened, Wang Anshi ordered Lu Huiqing to issue the first decree in the name of the Municipal Taxation Department, which was to promulgate Zhang Fei's contract in the form of a government decree, and at the same time awarded the official document of the Ma family. This can be said to give the Ma family a monopoly position.

However, Ma Tianhao was used to the imperial court's procrastination, so he didn't expect it to be so soon this time. It was a month earlier than he expected, and he was in a hurry. The superiors are so strong, it can be seen that they attach great importance to this matter, how dare he delay.

Early morning hours.

creak.

As soon as the door of this room was opened, Zhang Fei was blown back by a biting cold wind, trembling all over.

"damn it."

Zhang Fei said depressedly: "I'm so busy and dizzy, I forgot to prepare winter clothes, I'm going to die from the cold, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm a young man, I can take it fucking."

He did a few chest expansion exercises, gritted his teeth, and opened the door, just in time to see Li Si running over. The key point was that he was still wearing a cloak, so he couldn't help asking: "Li Si, where did you get the cloak?" ?”

Li Si came to Zhang Fei, "Ms. Xu gave it to me, and she prepared one for you, third brother, saying that it was left by her brother."

Just hand over a thick cloak.

Zhang Fei said pleasantly: "This woman is quite meticulous, she knows that I didn't buy winter clothes."

He was not polite, and quickly put on the cloak, and told Li Sidao: "After the meeting, you will go and buy some winter clothes. This kind of thing has to bother Mrs. Xu to worry about it, and it is really shameful."

"Hey, I remember."

The two hurried to the Ma's house in Qiaoshi.

Because today is the day when Ma's pawnshop puts up offers, and from today, the mortgage is officially launched.

Ma's pawn shop, I saw a sign with the word "mortgage loan" slowly rising in front of the shop, and it was the only one in Bianjing.

"Member, congratulations! Congratulations!"

Zhang Fei, who had just arrived, bowed his hands to Ma Tianhao and expressed his congratulations.

"Don't be so busy congratulating yourself, whether it's joy or sorrow, we have to see the outcome today!"

Ma Tianhao waved his hand. Although he agrees with this business, he has to prove it with facts. Will someone come to buy a house with a loan? Then he directed his hand to the two people next to him, "Come, come, let me recommend it to you."

He first pointed to the middle-aged man with a big belly and a ruddy complexion on the left, "This is Fan Yuanwai from Baifan Building."

Zhang Fei clasped his hands and said, "This junior has seen Fan Yuanwai."

Fan Yong returned a salute with his hands clasped, and said with a smile, "Zhang Sanlang is really better known than meeting him."

Ma Tianhao turned to the tall, thin middle-aged man with a goatee beside him, and was about to speak when Zhang Fei first asked the man, "Mr. Chen, how did you find my house?"

This person is none other than Chen Maoqian, the biggest Fang Ya in the capital.

The mortgage is closely related to their housing!
Chen Maoqian hurriedly said: "I searched for several before, but I was not satisfied with it, so I asked them to look for it again, but Saburo don't worry, it won't take long."

In fact, it was already found, but when this happened again, Chen Maoqian felt that he should be more cautious, so he asked his nephew to find a better one.

Ma Tianhao was surprised: "You know each other?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I asked Mr. Chen to help me find a house, and I can't live in Xu's house forever! Regarding the interest, Mr. Chen woke me up."

Chen Maoqian hurriedly said: "How dare, how dare, Lao Zhuo just answered a few trivial questions of San Lang. This is because San Lang is amazingly intelligent and capable. Lao Zhuo is deeply impressed."

Although Zhang Fei expressed his attitude that day, he thought it was impossible. He never thought that it was really done after a few days.

Fan Yong laughed and said: "I have been in business for more than [-] years, but I have never persuaded the imperial court to issue a new law specifically for my business. This is really the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Yuanwai is humble. It's just that the industry is different. I'm not a businessman. I'm just a citizen of Erbi. What I do is different. I heard that after Yuanwai took over Baifanlou, he made a bold move. Today's Baifan Building is no longer as simple as a restaurant, and it is making a lot of money every day, which is beyond our reach."

"Where! Where!"

Fan Yong waved his hand in embarrassment.

But it is indeed Fan Yong who made this Baifanlou transform from a restaurant into a complex, which is absolutely extraordinary wisdom.

Zhang Fei didn't dare to underestimate them, they all looked kind, but in fact they were all cannibals.

Fan Yong asked again: "Zhang Sanlang, if I mean if, I also ask you to help me sign a contract with the imperial court, how will you help me draft it?"

Zhang Fei thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Next time I go back to Fanlou for dinner, I can't take my money."

"Absolutely not." Fan Yong said quickly.

Zhang Fei said: "I would suggest the court to save financial expenses, especially the expansion of the imperial city."

Fan Yong was stunned for a while, and said: "What does this have to do with my business?"

Zhang Fei said: "For example, in the future, entertaining foreign envoys can be held in the Baifan Building, so there is no need to build a special courtyard, and there is no need to send someone to wait on it. After all, it is only used a few times a year, so it can save a lot of money. "

There was a muffled sound in Fan Yong's throat, "Is it really possible?"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Of course not. The member said if, but it's not true."

"That's true, that's true."

Fan Yong nodded embarrassingly, and looked at Chen Maoqian and Ma Tianhao in embarrassment.

Chen Maoqian couldn't care less about making fun of Fan Yong, he thought about having a good chat with Zhang Fei someday.

As everyone knows, Fan Yong also thinks so.

However, Ma Tianhao kept winking at Zhang Fei. Today's topic is not to talk about these.

It's not easy to earn a little money from you.Zhang Fei understood, coughed, and asked, "I heard that the two of you are also very interested in this business."

Fan Yong and Chen Maoqian looked at each other.

Chen Maoqian said: "There is indeed interest, but the large amount and the long period of time make people have doubts."

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "It should be."

"Hey!"

Ma Tianhao said: "Aren't you pretty good at talking, kid? Hurry up and help me convince the two of them."

Zhang Fei said: "I don't think that the vision of the two members is worse than that of you."

Fan and Chen looked at each other again and burst out laughing.

Ma Tianhao gave Zhang Fei two approving glances.

Even if they don't invest directly, they will cooperate. Nowadays, there are no developers. Housing depends on real estate, and auctions depend on alumni buildings. As long as the business is booming, the two of them will definitely make money.

Otherwise, how could they have come so early.

Zhang Fei asked again: "Is there no one from Xiangguo Temple?"

Ma Tianhao said with a smile: "I have already been here yesterday, it is not good for him as a monk to stand with so many business people like us."

After all, they are monks, so they should be more scruples, and they should not be too unscrupulous, such as nightlife, they usually choose takeaway instead of door-to-door.

Gradually, more and more people came to congratulate, involving all walks of life, almost all the wealthy businessmen in Bianjing came.

This interest, this number of years, and the government's decree are all setting records.

Everyone wants to see how this works.

Although the transaction has not yet been completed, the traffic is huge.

If it can be successful, then the Ma family's status will definitely be raised to a higher level.

However, Zhang Fei's limelight was obviously stronger than Ma Tianhao's. In fact, these wealthy businessmen knew that Zhang Fei had offended many people, but everyone also knew that there were more people in the court who supported Zhang Fei.

And judging from this matter, Zhang Fei is clearly the winning side!

"In the future, if the store wants to draw up any contracts, please ask Zhang Sanlang."

"Where! Where! Yuanwai takes care of my business, I'm too happy!"

"However, it's inconvenient for Sanlang to live in Xu's residence!"

"Xu Shisi is stern and selfless, but he can't stand us stinky businessmen."

"I will move out of Xu's residence soon, and welcome everyone to come and visit me."

"Good talk! Good talk!"

"Sanlang, can you make money with such a low interest rate?"

"If you buy a set, you will know."

"Oh! You think highly of me too much. This is a house. You can buy it as you please, but you can ask."

"Zhang San, come here."

Ma Tianhao came over suddenly, pulled Zhang Fei aside, and said in a low voice: "The first guest has already arrived, guess who it is?"

Zhang Fei was surprised and said, "Do I know you?"

Ma Tianhao thought for a while, but he didn't seem to know whether Zhang Fei knew him or not, so he said directly, "It's Mrs. Wang."

"Which Mrs. Wang?" Zhang Fei asked in astonishment.

Ma Tianhao said: "It's Mrs. Wang's wife!"
