Chapter 406 You earn, so do I

Chapter 406 You earn, so do I

Originally, Zhao Xu planned to expand the police force violently, but after Wang Anshi's announcement, the situation became more complicated, and many staff members had to be assigned to the police station first.

This kind of thing can only be left to Zhang Fei.

But Zhang Fei has no power.

If you leave it to Cao Dongdong, you don't need to think about it, can Cao Dongdong let Zhang Fei go.

He will definitely run to Zhang Fei for help.

To put it bluntly, Cao Dongdong is just a shield, he will carry it if something happens, Zhang Fei must be the real planner.

Zhang Fei liked this kind of cooperation very much, and got off the carriage humming a little song.

"San Lang is back!"

Gao Wenyin still stood in front of the door to welcome Zhang Fei as usual.

"Ah."

Zhang Fei nodded, and saw that there was no donkey cart parked in front of the door, so he asked, "Have you moved all the things at home?"

Gao Wenyin hurriedly said: "Almost all of them have been moved there, there are still some utensils needed for daily life. When we go over, we will take them together."

Zhang Fei nodded, and said again: "Why don't you just buy a new one."

Gao Wenyin immediately shook her head like a rattle, "It's all good, why buy a new one."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Listen to Madam."

"Madam, third brother bought some flower seeds for you today."

Li Si, who took the flower seeds from the carriage, trotted forward, sweating profusely, and said to Gao Wenyin a little excitedly.

In fact, Li Si and Xiao Tao agree with Gao Wenyin more than Xu Zhiqian. After all, they are Gao Wenyin's master, so if there is any good thing, they will share it with Gao Wenyin immediately.

"Flower seeds?"

Gao Wenyin frowned slightly and said: "I have cultivated some flower seeds, so I don't need to spend more money. I spent a lot of money on buying a house before, so I need to save a little."

Zhang Fei put one hand around Gao Wenyin's waist and said with a smile: "Madam, you have to think this way, we have already spent so much money to buy a garden, if we only plant some ordinary flowers, then it would be even worse .”

Gao Wenyin thought for a while, then smiled helplessly: "I can't say no to you." Then she glanced at the flower seeds on Li Si's back, and asked softly, "What kind of flower seeds did Sanlang buy?"

Before Zhang Fei could open his mouth, Li Si hurriedly said: "But they are all some precious flowers, such as peonies, roses, roses...!"

A look of joy flashed in Gao Wenyin's eyes, but she said with embarrassment: "It must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Think about the price of the garden."

Gao Wenyin pursed her lips and smiled, slowly feeling grateful in her heart, she knew that Zhang Fei wanted to buy the one with a garden, it was entirely for her, because Xu Zhiqian was not interested in these things, "Sanlang treats me like this...!"

Seeing her coming again, Zhang Fei immediately said, "It's far from what you'd expect me to do."

Gao Wenyin's service to him was really meticulous.

While chatting, they came to the courtyard and saw Xu Zun and Xu Zhiqian sitting in the hall reading a newspaper.

Zhang Fei said: "Father-in-law and Zhiqian are both at home!"

Gao Wenyin hurriedly said: "I saw that they were very engrossed in reading the newspaper, so I didn't bother them."

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Actually, Madam doesn't need to go out to greet her."

Gao Wenyin avoided answering this, and said, "I'll take the flower seeds to the backyard and put them away first."

In fact, this is not the first time Zhang Fei said this, especially in winter, but Gao Wenyin felt that something was wrong if she didn't go out to greet her.

Zhang Fei could only smile helplessly at this.

Gao Wenyin took those precious flower seeds and walked towards the backyard. Seeing Li Si's rough hands and feet, she was really worried that these precious flower seeds would be crushed.

Zhang Fei went to the hall.

The father and daughter were very absorbed in watching, and they didn't notice that Zhang Fei entered the hall. They didn't react until Zhang Fei saluted Xu Zun.

Xu Zhiqian hurriedly got up and poured Zhang Fei a cup of tea.

Zhang Fei saw several newspapers on the table, "So many newspapers?"

Xu Zun shook his head and said with emotion: "It's all about the recruitment law."

With the opening of the movable type workshop, the newspaper immediately became flooded and has become the mainstream media in Bianjing. Rao scholar-bureaucrats also expressed their comments through newspapers.

Wang Anshi thought of secretly publishing articles to support his new law, and the other party also thought of using newspapers to oppose the new law.

Zhang Fei asked: "Is it good or bad?"

Xu Zun sighed: "Half and half, just like the court, they quarrel all day long."

This recruitment method is like a knife, from the court to the workshop, everything is cut in half.

You must know that the proprietors behind many newspapers and periodicals are ministers of the court and China. Naturally, there are conservatives and reformers, and it is not unreasonable for the two sides to quarrel.

Xu Zhiqian said: "Actually, if Bachelor Wang can exempt the lower-class households from the exemption tax, then he will definitely be able to get more support."

Xu Zun also nodded slightly.

They are all supporters of Wang Anshi, but they do not agree completely with the recruitment law.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "This has not yet become a regulation, so there is no need to make a conclusion so early."

Xu Zun asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Fei said: "Although Xueshi Wang didn't explain it to me, it's like doing business. There will definitely be a process of bargaining. Now this situation is half and half. Then Xueshi Wang will take a small step back. Public opinion will immediately turn around."

Xu Zhiqian asked, "How small is this small step?"

Zhang Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How do I know this, but it certainly won't be too big. Many exempted people must be included in it. Otherwise, there is no need for Wang Xueshi to do this."

Xu Zun nodded slightly, then looked at Zhang Fei and said, "This is just like your tricks before."

Zhang Fei just smiled and didn't make a sound.

This does not allow him to quibble, Wang Anshi is still learning from him. In terms of propaganda, Wang Anshi's arrogance has been completely shattered by Zhang Fei. He has carefully studied Zhang Fei's routines.

In the previous article, the emphasis was only on the idea, that is, equal taxation and labor. You can’t always focus on one level and have everyone share it equally, so everyone’s pressure will be less.

But it did not specify the specific content, but only mentioned the official households and female households. Even if the exemption tax is to be levied, it will definitely be halved.

Sure enough, seeing that the quarrel was almost over, Wang Anshi came to Zhang Fei again and asked Zhang Fei to publish more specific regulations in the newspaper.

Two of the most controversial regulations have also been explained in more detail.

One, 20.00% of the surplus money.

Wang Anshi said that the collection is only in good years and not in bad years.

Second, does everyone have to share equally?

Nor is it.

He just made some adjustments on the basis of the previous labor law. Rural households are still divided into five classes, and the fifth class is still exempt from tax exemption.

The Chengguo households are divided into ten classes, and after the sixth class, they are exempted from duty exemption tax.

Official households, female households, single households, Taoist priests, and monks who were exempt from tax before all have to pay the tax.

Exemption tax, as the name suggests, has to be exempted from service by those who have served before, and they pay to be exempted from service, so it can be called exempt tax.

The specific amount depends on the budget of each state capital, and it will be distributed equally according to households.

Rural households are evaluated every three years, and urban households are evaluated every five years.

As soon as the newspaper was published, public opinion began to favor the new law.

This is mainly due to the previous article, which made everyone's expectations a little too low. At first glance, it is still free, and the surplus money is only collected in good years.

Bianjing Law Firm.

"Is this your idea?"

Sima Guang looked at Zhang Fei expressionlessly.

Zhang Fei immediately explained: "It's really not my idea, it's Wang Xueshi stealing my method."

"This old fox is quite studious." Sima Guang gritted his teeth and sarcastically said.

Zhang Fei said cautiously: "Actually, this recruitment method is pretty good, why do you pay it back!"

Sima Guang asked: "Are you really confused, or fake confused?"

Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "I hope Bachelor Sima will let you know."

Sima Guang snorted and said, "You are so shrewd, you can't even see it. First of all, although he is divided into five classes, there is a sentence in it that all applicants have to pay exemption tax. Then you know, many states and counties , Fifth-class households also need to serve.”

Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "I'm not sure."

Sima Guang said again: "Secondly, many of the fifth-class households in this Kaifeng mansion and that village have come to work in the city. If counting the households in the city, some of them will be counted.

There are also the fourth-class households. The number of fourth-class households is far greater than that of the first three-class households. In counties with large populations, according to the labor law, they may only be rotated once every few years, and the work they do is only some labor. But now they have to pay every year. "

Zhang Fei remained silent.

Wang Anshi's purpose is to improve finances. The people don't pay taxes and the country uses them. This is just a slogan. If he can't make money for the country, why does Zhao Xu use him?

Sima Guang hates this because he hates it. If you amass money, you can amass money. If the people don’t pay taxes but the country uses them, do you think we are stupid?

Now that the regulations came out, I wish I could write all the benefits on my face, and I still didn't give up, and continued to complain: "There are still three or five years to evaluate the level of households. There were many problems in the assessment of households by the official labor law. , fifth-class households become fourth-class households, fourth-class households become third-class households, first-class households become official households, and so on. There are countless examples. Now this problem has not been resolved. His assessment is only for those Opportunities for corrupt officials to exploit common people."

Zhang Fei immediately asked, "Did Bachelor Sima not read the newspaper?"

Sima Guang was stunned for a moment, "I've finished reading it!"

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "There is still a paragraph behind this! That is the essence of the whole article."

Sima Guang picked up the newspaper and looked intently at the back, "Huh? The small characters on the back are not signatures."

Zhang Fei said eagerly: "Of course not! Can the signature be so long?"

Sima Guangnian said: "Assessment of legal services for private households. In Xicheng, you can go to House 108 in Caiqiao to find Yu Da, and on the right side, you can go to House 211 in Zhouqiao to find Huang Man?"

After watching, the old man raised his head and looked at Zhang Fei with a complicated expression.

Zhang Fei said righteously: "Scholar Sima can rest assured on this point, our Bianjing Law Firm will make decisions for the people, if the government dares to make random evaluations, we will go to help the people to file a lawsuit and seek justice."

Sima Guang said: "You are taking this opportunity to make money."

Zhang Fei hehe said: "Let's earn a little pen and ink fees. If there is a tax calculation cooperation with my firm, the middle-level households only need to pay an extra [-] yuan, and the upper-class households only need to pay the usual money. Then you can Open the household assessment service for small stores."

Sima Guang asked: "The tax calculation business, how many times have you fought?"

Zhang Fei coughed: "I'm not sure, I'm usually not allowed to fight this kind of small lawsuit."

After Wang Hong's case, the income from tax calculation business has increased, but the number of disputes to be dealt with has decreased. Otherwise, how could these pens in the office be so busy.

As far as the evaluation business is concerned, the firm will not take the initiative to help the people evaluate it. The government is still doing it. If the people think that the government's evaluation does not meet their family conditions, they will come to the firm and the firm will come forward.

The money was earned entirely by Zhang Fei's deterrence.

But I have to say that this can really make those dirty officials not dare to be too unscrupulous.

He should also earn the money, he dared to sue the officials, but others did not.

Sima Guang said: "Kaifeng mansion has your office looking after it, but what about outside Kaifeng mansion?"

Zhang Fei said: "I'm just helping from the sidelines, the details depend on the public prosecutor's law of Bachelor Sima."

".?"

I couldn't talk any more today.

Just at this moment, Ma Tianhao's eccentric voice came from outside, "Old Fan! Congratulations, congratulations, your firm is about to make another windfall."

And then it was quiet.

No need to think about it, Fan Li must have told them that Sima Guang was there.

Sima Guang stood up and said, "Okay, I won't bother you to get rich."

After saying that, he left.

In fact, he just came here to complain today, Zhang Fei has no way to stop this new law, even if there is, he won't do it, he is now trying to force Wang Anshi.

As soon as he left, Ma Tianhao and more than a dozen wealthy businessmen walked in.

Seeing the huge lineup, Zhang Fei said depressedly: "I just increased your usual money, so I won't engage in such a big battle. If you think it's too much, you don't have to pay. I'm willing to do this kind of thing." .”

Chen Maoqian hurriedly said: "We are not here today for this purpose."

Zhang Fei asked: "Why is that?"

Chen Maoqian raised the newspaper in his hand and pointed to the last paragraph, "So this newspaper can still write like this?"

Zhang Fei said: "Of course!"

Chen Maoqian hurriedly asked: "Is it possible to publish my house situation in this newspaper?"

"Yes, but I advise you not to do this. Do you know that for this short paragraph, the genuine bookstore actually charged me a hundred pennies. It's really a scam. I won't look for him again next time."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said.

Fan Yong was surprised and said: "Isn't the genuine bookstore also yours?"

Zhang Fei said embarrassingly: "It's not all mine, the old Hou also has a share."

Those wealthy businessmen immediately looked at Zhang Fei with disdain.

What is the difference between the old Hou and your servant? Isn't it up to you to decide.

You beat your right hand with your left hand, thanks to others.

Chen Maoqian said: "One hundred Guan is too expensive."

Zhang Fei sighed: "There is no other way. When this article is published, it must attract the attention of the whole people. It is expensive, so our firm can only admit it!"

Ma Tianhao said: "In other words, your fee is for reading articles."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes. For such an article, the fee is extremely high."

While chatting, the outside suddenly became lively.

Zhang Fei couldn't help sighing: "This effect is too good. I expected that they would come to the door tomorrow, but they came today. Lao Fan won't drag me to help, right? I'm Dr. Zhang now."
