Although Zhang Fei lost the lawsuit last time, he won back the Mingshi Daily.
Originally, he was planning to reorganize the bookstore, but he didn't expect that he would soon face military service, so the matter was delayed. As a result, during this period, the Genuine Bookstore did not publish a single tabloid.
This also caused everyone to ignore the matter.
In the eyes of most people, they finally defeated Zhang Fei, but they did not expect that Zhang Fei was actually the real winner.
Today's Mingshi Newspaper suddenly appeared in various restaurants, which really gave everyone a surprise. It even made people feel as if the last issue of the tabloid was a very distant thing.
The article in the Mingshi newspaper directly ignited the entire public opinion.
Since the license plate news was released, almost no one supports it.
Although the horse-drawn carriage represents nobility, merchants and peddlers also use ox-drawn carts to transport goods. How could they support this license plate?
This is ten thousand times more abominable than Wang Anshi's new law.
Everybody wants the Streets Division to clean up the streets, but not at my expense.
...
...
But you can't say it so bluntly.
Fan Chunren's article gave them a reason to criticize.
This article is very cleverly written. It first explains the whole process of the incident and says that the actions of the military patrol station seem reasonable.
The more carriages there are, the more manure there will be, so naturally more people will be needed to clean it up, and the expenses will definitely increase.
There is nothing wrong with this logic.
But the article immediately gives examples to illustrate that since ancient times, many seemingly reasonable charging policies have made the people miserable, and one of the reasons is overcharging and excessive charging.
This immediately resonated with everyone.
That’s right!
That's it.
There is no charging policy that does not charge more.
The military patrol shop is just looking for an excuse to make money, and when it comes to charging, it will definitely be more than this.
Let's not be fooled.
Whether they were scholars or ordinary people, they all seized on Fan Chunren's argument and attacked the license plate desperately.
But this made the dignitaries very anxious.
The previous public opinion against license plates was created by them, but Fan Chunren's article changed the public opinion from being against license plates to being against excessive charges.
This can't be pulled back.
In fact, everyone is looking for this reason to attack Junxunpu.
But...what if the military patrol shop doesn't charge excessive fees?
......
Establish regulations offices in the two prefectures.
"Awesome! Awesome!"
Wang Anshi couldn't help but admire the Mingshi Newspaper when he read it.
Lu Huiqing asked, "What do you mean, Master?"
Wang Anshi glanced at him and said, "Can't you see the mystery of this article?"
Lu Huiqing said: "Students can see clearly that this article seems to criticize license plates, but in fact it also supports the reasonable collection of license plate fees."
"That's right."
Wang Anshi nodded and said, "That's the beauty of this. If Zhang San wrote an article to refute the current public opinion, it would not have the same effect.
Now that this article is highly praised by everyone, it means that we have to wait until the excessive charges occur before we can stop them. This will lay a solid foundation for the implementation of this law. This move of using the power of others to defeat them is really amazing. "
At the end, he couldn't help shaking his head. ... He never thought of scolding himself to promote the new law, which is really too much.
Lu Huiqing disagrees. "But if overcharging really happens, it could be a disaster for Zhang San."
Wang Anshi said: "Since Zhang San dares to do this, he must be sure of it."
Lu Huiqing shook his head and said, "I don't believe it, and I can guarantee that there will be excessive charges. Those officials who oppose it only need to do a little trick, and Zhang San will not be able to prevent it at all."
Wang Anshi frowned and nodded slightly: "That's true, someone will definitely interfere, and it will be hard to guard against it!"
Lu Huiqing said: "Master, we must not do this. This is a double-edged sword."
If the scolding is too harsh and it really happens, it will be the end.
.......
"Is that the shop?"
Sima Guang stood in front of the two shops and saw that both were open, the inside was being decorated, and there were no signs hanging.
Lu Gong looked around and said, "I heard it's the second store on Silu Street. It should be this one."
He pointed to the room on the left, and saw a man walking out of the shop. It was Fan Chunren.
"Mr. Sima, Prime Minister Lu."
Fan Chunren hurried out and bowed to the two of them.
Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhe also returned the greeting.
Fan Chunren welcomed the two into the store again, "Please have some tea."
"Thank you!"
Sima Guang took the teacup with both hands and placed it on the table. Then he looked around and smiled at Fan Chunren, "This idea of the Legal Aid Department was given to you by Zhang San, right?"
Fan Chunren nodded: "He is just a yamen servant, and it is difficult for him to supervise his subordinates. So I hope I can lend him a helping hand."
Lu Gong smiled and said, "Mr. Yao, you and Zhang San are sworn enemies. I never thought you would help him."
Fan Chunren immediately said, "I'm not helping him. If he breaks the law, I will sue him. I agreed to his request because I also believe that the reason why excessive charges occur so often is that the people who really supervise the lower-level officials are their superiors. Once the superiors and subordinates collude, there is a lack of supervision in between. If there is a Legal Aid Department, there will be an extra pair of eyes watching them."
Lu Gong nodded slightly.
Sima Guang smiled and said, "I know what Yao Fu is thinking, but there is one thing I am very curious about. Your article is so harsh. What if someone interferes and lets some patrolmen deliberately make things difficult for the people? And this is very likely to happen."
Fan Chunren smiled and said, "I have also asked Zhang San about this. His original words were that whoever breaks the law will be arrested. He will cooperate with the government's judgment. This is a human problem, not a legal problem."
Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhe couldn't help but look at each other.
My brain started to get confused.
Logically speaking, if the younger brother makes a mistake, the boss must be held responsible, and the same was true when the Qingli New Deal reached its peak.
This routine has never changed.
Zhang Fei’s meaning is simple and straightforward. If anyone commits favoritism or corruption, just arrest him. I support you.
Sima Guang thought for a while, "It's not that simple. If something goes wrong, the higher-ups will definitely blame us." ... Fan Chunren said, "If something goes wrong, it will be because our Legal Aid Department cannot seek justice for the people, causing many people to be exploited by this law. But I firmly believe that I can seek justice for them."
Lu Gong said: "If someone did it deliberately, you will be unable to defend yourself."
Fan Chunren smiled and said, "Zhang San will also announce the enforcement standards by then, so that we can avoid excessive charges."
After hearing this, Sima Guang's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
If Zhang Fei can really build a law enforcement system for him, it will be of great help to his judicial reform.
There is no regret in my heart, but instead I am full of expectations.
......
Pan Building.
"Those scholars out there are really all nerds. The Mingshi Newspaper belongs to Zhang Fei, so how could he deal with me? Excessive charges will only appear after this law is implemented. How can they not understand such a simple trick?"
Guan Qie, the official at Taifu Temple, was anxious when he heard the criticisms coming from outside.
Gu Ji said: "We still have to find a way to change public opinion and never let this law be implemented."
Li Zhan said: "Why don't we find some vendors to drive bullock carts to the streets to cry, so that everyone knows that even if we don't charge more, many people still can't afford it, and they already pay a lot of taxes."
Gu Ji nodded repeatedly: "I think it's okay, but we need to find more people and make sure to attract everyone's attention."
Cao Han immediately said, "Leave this matter to me."
As a transport envoy, this task was not difficult for him.
Dong Dong Dong!
There was a knock on the door.
Gu Ji immediately asked, "Who is it?"
"The matter of Gu Temple was caused by me. Pan Heng."
"Come in."
But then a middle-aged man with a big belly opened the door and entered the private room.
Gu Ji asked, "Is there anything wrong, Mr. Pan?"
Pan Heng said, "Just now the genuine bookstore sent a new newspaper."
"Really? Bring it here quickly."
"yes."
After Pan Heng handed the Famous Scholars Newspaper to Gu Ji, he went out.
Gu Ji opened it and after a moment, he was shocked, "How...how is this possible?"
Guan Qie asked, "What did it say about the Valley Temple?"
Gu Ji said: "Fan Chunren has published an article again, saying that even if the fees are not excessive, ordinary people will find it difficult to afford the cattle and horse license fees."
"ah?"
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.
They all stood up and came to Gu Ji's side, taking a closer look.
If there was something fishy about the first article, then this one was full of useful information, which even made them really believe that they had misunderstood Fan Chunren.
Fan Chunren is an absolute friendly force.
This article fully reveals the conspiracy in their hearts, which is to compete with the people for profits and increase the burden on the people.
At this time, waves of public opinion were heard outside again.
Everyone is criticizing the license plate fees for adding burden to the people.
Cao Han said awkwardly: "Do you still need to find someone?"
Gu Ji shook his head blankly and said, "It should...it should not be necessary."
What on earth is this doing?
There is no sense of confrontation.
They were really helpless.
The enemy's knife was aimed at his head, this... this was really scary. ….......
If the first edition of the Celebrity Newspaper caused many officials in the court to doubt Fan Chunren, then the second edition of the Celebrity Newspaper dispelled everyone's doubts.
Fan Chunren is a friendly force, not an enemy.
This article will bring huge trouble to Zhang San and will definitely cause public resentment. It is truly impeccable.
But they were also wondering, isn’t Mingshi Daily owned by Zhang Fei?
Why did he publish this article?
Genuine bookstore.
"I wonder what you want to do for me, Excellency?"
Hou Donglai bowed to an unexpected guest who was dressed in gorgeous clothes.
The guest asked, "Who are you?"
Hou Donglai hurriedly said, "I am Hou Donglai, the manager of this workshop."
"So it's Mr. Hou." The guest bowed and asked, "I want to publish an article in the Mingshi Newspaper. What are the conditions?"
Hou Donglai hurriedly said: "First of all, you must have a certain reputation."
A celebrity must be famous!
The guest asked again: "Besides that?"
Hou Donglai replied: "It's hard to say. For example, you can't curse the emperor, nor can you spread rumors to slander the ministers in the court."
The guest asked, "Is it okay to scold Zhang San?"
"Of course you can!"
Hou Donglai nodded and said, "As long as your article is well-written and everyone likes to read it, you can criticize it as much as you want."
The customer wondered, "Isn't Zhang San the owner of this genuine bookstore?"
Hou Donglai nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then...Won't Zhang San be angry when he sees this?"
"The only thing that would make our Sanlang angry is that no one reads this famous newspaper."
Hou Donglai became more and more excited as he spoke, and whispered, "Our official bookstore will also publish a tabloid. As long as you pay, you can publish your own articles in it. If you want to scold Sanlang, you just need to pay."
"......?"
Crazy! What a bunch of crazy people.
The guest was scared away.
Of course, this person was sent by Gu Ji and others. They couldn't understand why Zhang Fei allowed this article to be published in the Mingshi Daily.
They thought there must be something fishy going on because it didn't make sense, but after looking left and right, they still couldn't figure it out, so they sent someone to investigate.
After learning the result, everyone admired Zhang San as a man.
purely!
There is really no businessman more pure than Zhang San.
In order to make money, I even curse myself.
Even Gao Wenyin, who served Zhang Fei every day, found it difficult to understand.
"Sanlang, isn't this genuine bookstore yours?"
"yes!"
Zhang Fei took the teacup handed to him by Gao Wenyin and took a sip. "Madam's tea art is really getting better and better."
Gao Wenyin just pursed her lips and smiled, then asked, "Wasn't it Sanlang who came up with the license plate?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes!"
Gao Wenyin said: "If that's the case, why does the Mingshi Daily criticize the license plate every day?"
Zhang Fei put down his teacup and laughed, "This is the highest level of insulting people."
"The highest level of swearing?"
"yes!"
Zhang Fei said: "If someone else scolds you, you are despicable and shameless, but if you scold yourself, that is modesty and upright."
Gao Wenyin was immediately fooled by Zhang Fei. …Is this the case?
"What a trick you use to scold yourself."
Only Xu Zun and Xu Zhiqian came into the hall.
"Father-in-law."
Zhang Fei quickly stood up.
Xu Zun laughed and said, "What you said just now is absolutely right. Yesterday everyone was criticizing you, but today everyone respects you as a man. You, the famous scholar, are really popular now!"
Zhang Fei chuckled, "Even if I don't let Mr. Fan scold me, they will scold me like this. If so, I will be a real man. Why not do it?"
Xu Zhiqian snorted softly, "Don't be complacent. Although they are praising you, they are probably scolding you as a fool in their hearts."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I only care whether you have me in your heart or not. I don't care what they think in their hearts. I can't control it."
Xu Zhiqian blushed and said shyly, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's really not serious."
Xu Zun stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "But I don't understand your trick. Now that the article has been published, it will immediately arouse public resentment. If you can't stop it, the government will have to intervene."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "The public complaints are secondary. The hawkers who are engaged in transportation are mostly afraid. This is an excessive charge, and a carriage fee. In addition, there are rumors. How can they not be afraid?"
The more Xu Zun listened, the more confused he became. He said, "If there is someone behind them supporting them and public resentment is rising, then this license plate will definitely be invalidated."
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "But if we analyze it from a business perspective, this is a great time to buy at the bottom."
“Buy at the bottom.”
“It’s about buying at a low price.”
Zhang Fei said: "It just so happens that my charity organization is looking for project investment. Since they are afraid, I will do it. I will set up a transportation workshop and let them help me transport the goods. I will pay for the license plate. Anyway, it is only a few hundred dollars a year, which is nothing.
The only thing I am worried about now is those powerful transport workshops with backgrounds. As soon as they see me start to buy at the bottom, they will snatch my people away immediately. Alas... "
Xu Zhiqian said happily: "This way, no one will complain."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Actually, I don't mind if you complain. I make money, so I'm bound to get scolded."
......
The Imperial Palace.
"Sir, do you know why I allowed the military patrol shop to charge this license plate fee?"
Zhao Xu asked Wang Anshi with a smile.
Wang Anshi hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe the government also wants to lay the foundation for the new policy."
Zhao Xu nodded: "That's right, it seems that you have thought of this too."
Wang Anshi said truthfully: "To be honest with you, Zhang San has already told me about this before, so I fully support him."
Zhao Xu asked again: "Then I wonder if you understand, sir, what is the purpose of Zhang San publishing these two issues of the Celebrity Newspaper?"
Wang Anshi shook his head and sighed, "I understand Fan Chunren's first article, but I really can't understand the second article. I don't even understand the purpose of the first article."
Zhao Xu frowned, "I didn't expect that even the gentleman couldn't understand it." He muttered to himself, it seems that Zhang San did not lie to me, his art of public opinion is indeed superior.
Wang Anshi heard it clearly and felt a little embarrassed.
He really didn't quite understand it.
In fact, Wang Anshi's propaganda methods were really a mess. Zhang Fei came from an era of marketing accounts, where each of them seemed reasonable, but in fact every word was full of the smell of money.
Either attract you to look at it, or attract you to buy it.
