Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 203 Hitting and Robbing
It is better to ask for yourself than for others.

You should fight for your own dreams.

Zhang Fei initially offered Xu Zhiqian a legal aid at the firm, which was actually what he meant.

After all, many of the concepts of the two are different.

You can help each other, but you can't force each other, then it's boring.

Although the current relationship between the two is different from before, neither Zhang Fei nor Xu Zhiqian think that there should be a change on this point.

However, Zhang Fei's views have changed somewhat.

He found that in this society, it is no longer possible to blindly follow the principle of procedural justice, but to think about substantive justice first.

If procedural justice is a scale, in the previous era, the weights at both ends of the scale were not exactly the same, but at least the difference was almost the same. Even if you go to Nanshan, you have to produce concrete evidence, and you cannot fabricate it out of thin air.

But in this era, this procedural justice is inherently skewed.

Moreover, it must be leaning towards the strong.

In order to achieve procedural justice, the two ends of the balance must be leveled first, and the method is to add weight, and the means of litigation is this weight.

To put it simply, if Zhang Fei still blindly pursues procedural justice, the result will be to further destroy procedural justice, tilt the balance even more, and at the same time further destroy the entire industry.

If he pursues substantive justice, he is building procedural justice and this industry.

Forcing those strong people to come up with evidence to file a lawsuit, they can no longer act recklessly.

Zhang Fei changed from a person enjoying the shade to a tree planter.

But there is a problem here, planting trees requires cost.

Where does this money come from.

When you pursue substantive justice, you will definitely not make much money. Of course, if you have to follow the routine of procedural justice, you will not actually make much money.

The reason is simple, the weak will gradually give up litigation.

must lose.

What's the point of that.

This income is a problem.

Without money, life is difficult.

Genuine Printing House.

"Sanlang is here!"

"Good morning, my lord!"

When the craftsmen in the printing workshop saw Zhang Fei coming, they stood up and saluted one after another, regardless of whether it was the first time they met, all of them were respectful.

Although they are printers, they also know the lawsuit well. Now when they go to the tea shop, they can hear everyone discussing the lawsuit.

Even the magistrate of Kaifeng County was pulled down by our proprietor, the admiration for Zhang Fei is really like a torrent of water.
Not only that, but they are also more at ease, not afraid of being bullied again.

At the same time, more craftsmen joined the genuine printing workshop.

Hou Donglai, who was accompanying him, immediately took credit and said: "Sanlang, now our printing workshop has recruited more than 30 craftsmen, plus some apprentices, there are already more than 50 people. Although we haven't made money yet, we are already The First Printing House in Tokyo."

Zhang Fei has been urging him to recruit for a long time.

Isn't the first thing to look at profit?Zhang Fei swallowed his saliva and asked, "What about the monthly expenditure?"

Hou Donglai said: "Then it will cost a few hundred pennies less. Besides, you see, when we will rent the courtyard next door, this place is not enough now."

Zhang Fei's heart skipped a beat, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Don't just talk about it, you have to tell me when will you be able to make a profit?"

Hou Donglai was stunned for a moment, "I'm afraid it will take two or three months before printing can start, and it will take at least half a year to make a profit."

Zhang Fei clicked his tongue: "Does it take so long?"

Hou Donglai said: "This is not what you ordered. We want to print the most exquisite books. Every word has to be carefully crafted. It will take a lot of time, and the movable type, although the current technology has already made it It is almost the same, but there are still a lot of movable type to be carved, which also takes time."

"That's true!"

Zhang Fei nodded.

One step is wrong, every step is wrong!

He originally thought that he would earn endless money by making a name for himself and doing tax calculations, but after all the twists and turns, until now, he has lost a lot of money in it.

And this genuine printing shop was originally bought to make money.

In the end, a thousand pens were thrown into it, and no bubbles were taken. It will take half a year, how can this be maintained!
Zhang Fei secretly sighed, it's a pity that these two businesses can't attract people to invest, otherwise, it would be much easier.

The fundamental purpose of the printing workshop he set up is to compete for the power of public opinion. If people come to invest, they will be constrained at that time. After all, people invest to make money, not to cause trouble and offend those scholar-bureaucrats.

Bianjing Law Firm is also facing the same problem. If someone else invests, Wei Yushan may not be able to fight the lawsuit. Maybe the investor is Wei Yushan.

Suddenly, Zhang Fei seemed to think of something, and asked, "That's right! The contract you sent to my office last time is very good, have you calculated the cost?"

Hou Donglai was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "I only estimated it, but I didn't calculate it specifically, but it should be similar."

Zhang Fei asked, "How much is that?"

Hou Donglai said: "It depends on how many copies are printed. The more copies, the lower the cost. If it reaches [-] copies, the cost can be reduced to two pennies. If it exceeds [-] copies, the cost can be reduced to one penny." .If movable type printing is used at that time, there may not even be a penny.”

Zhang Fei was pleasantly surprised: "Is it so little?"

Hou Donglai nodded and said: "This contract doesn't have many words, unlike those books, the cost is of course very low."

Zhang Fei nodded thoughtfully.

He had considered doing this printing contract business before, and now Bianjing Law Firm's contracts are all purchased from here, but after the tax calculation, he forgot about it, after all, this is not a big business.

No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat!

The next day!

Bianjing Law Firm.

"Why did you invite us here today?" Ma Tianhao was straightforward as always.

Chen Maoqian and Fan Yong next to him looked at Zhang Fei very cautiously, even with a little bit of fear.

Zhang Fei glanced at Chen Maoqian, and said, "Recently, Mr. Chen's business is not easy, right?"

Chen Maoqian became angry when he heard it, and said in a tone that dared not speak out, "Thanks to you, I almost died."

Because of Geng Ming's case, the court wanted to conduct a thorough investigation of Bai Qi, and among them Yaren was the key target of rectification.

Most of Bai Qi was caused by the Yaman.

After doing this, their Fang Ya was trembling.

And all this is thanks to Zhang Fei. Chen Maoqian has not been here for a long time, and he feels very resentful. I am your big client, and you actually come to mess with me?
What a cooperation!
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It's almost too soon."

"What do you mean by that?"

Chen Maoqian panicked.

Zhang Fei said: "Recently, many people have come to my door to sue Fang Ya."

Chen Maoqian became anxious immediately, and stood up: "Zhang San, I'm a big customer in your store, I think I'm good to you, you can't be ungrateful, and sue me instead."

Now this fellow is getting more and more terrifying, being sued by him, he has to shed a layer of skin even if he doesn't die!
Can Chen Maoqian not be afraid?

Even Ma Tianhao and Fan Yong were in a state of panic, who was innocent of those who messed around here.

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry, how could I sue you, I still have this professionalism, I will only help you, sit down!"

Chen Maoqian was still a little guilty, and asked, "You really won't sue?"

"As long as you maintain the cooperative relationship with Xiaodian, how can I sue you? Doesn't that mean I breached the contract?" Zhang Fei said.

Chen Maoqian thinks about it too, you are my legal adviser, if you sue me instead, then you are violating the contract.

Then he sat down.

Zhang Fei added: "This is also the reason I invited you here. Nowadays, there are more and more cases concerning contract disputes, especially those of you involving fields and houses. That is the key supervision target of the imperial court. Contracts must not Wrong."

Ma Tianhao said: "Didn't I spend money to ask you to help us write the contract?"

"Yes." Zhang Fei nodded, and said again: "But those scattered contracts were drafted by you yourself."

Chen Maoqian asked: "Those small contracts are also looking for you, are you busy?"

For example, the lease and employment contract in Chen Maoqian's shop was written by themselves. After all, it has been used for so long, and it is relatively standardized. It's just that those who involve a relatively large amount of money come to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei said: "I am very worried about this right now."

Fan Yong said, "How do you say that?"

Zhang Fei said: "I have seen the contracts in your store in detail, and there are too many loopholes. Now the imperial court is paying close attention to this aspect, and key customers are also more cautious. As your legal adviser, it is necessary to help you avoid risks in this area. .”

Ma Tianhao nodded and said, "Your words are pleasing to the ear."

"must."

Zhang Fei said: "The service of our Bianjing Law Firm does not mean that if you take the initiative to come to me, it may be too late, but that we will contact you as soon as we find a problem."

Fan Yong asked: "Then what can you do?"

"print!"

Zhang Fei said: "People always make mistakes when writing. When printing, as long as you check the printing plate, the chance of making mistakes is very small. I plan to provide this kind of printed version of the contract for all customers in our store. The method is like a mortgage contract. When signing, you only need to fill in your name and amount.”

Ma Tianhao nodded immediately and said: "This is a good idea. The mortgage contract has too many words, and it is really difficult to write."

Complaints belong to complaints, but he has benefited greatly from it. After his mortgage contract is standardized, it will be much more convenient.

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "Brother Hao still has vision."

Seeing Zhang Fei's weird smile, Fan Yong felt something was wrong in his heart, and asked, "Isn't there any extra money for this contract?"

A contract for Zhang Fei is too expensive.

Only mortgage contracts and shareholder contracts can match this price.

"will not!"

Zhang Fei said: "Our cooperation contract has written very clearly, we will provide you with services in this regard."

Fan Yong nodded, thinking, could it be my illusion.

But as soon as this idea came up, Zhang Fei said again: "But printing costs money, and you can pay for it."

Ma Tianhao quit, "We have to pay the money!"

Zhang Fei immediately said: "Brother Hao, you have to be conscientious when doing business. You print thousands of copies of your mortgage contract a year, and I have to post it back to you. After all, this is Bianjing Law Firm, and I'm not a lawyer. printed!"

Fan Yong whispered: "The genuine printing workshop is also yours."

Zhang Fei said: "It's mine, but the contracts used by my Bianjing law firm are all bought from genuine printing workshops with money. You are all big businessmen, so it's not difficult to understand."

Chen Maoqian was the first one to compromise. Now that the court is rectifying the dental practice, he is walking on thin ice and asked, "How much?"

Zhang Fei said: "Three letters, five letters, ten letters, etc. It depends on the number of words and the amount of printing. If it is a special kind of contract, it is better to write it by hand, but if it is a lease contract, it can be printed."

Ma Tianhao was overjoyed, "I said Zhang San, are you short of money?"

Zhang Fei said with a guilty conscience: "Brother Hao, what do you say?"

Ma Tianhao said: "You originally had a contract of five hundred guan, but now you can even do business for five cents."

Alas. This is indeed too cheap, it is not easy to make money!Zhang Fei coughed: "The nature is different. The money for drafting the contract is included in the cost of our cooperation. The five cents are for the printing workshop."

Chen Maoqian said: "Five cents a piece doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a lot when added together. I can't even spend so much money to write it myself."

"You can't think like that."

Zhang Fei said: "You have to think about it, if you are fined by the court once because of a problem with the contract, how much will you pay, and there is also my contract design, which can avoid many risks."

Fan Yong finally understood that this was robbery, and sighed: "Brother Chen, don't talk about it, you have to spend the money if you don't spend it, and if something goes wrong, he may not be able to pay for it." will help us."

Ma Tianhao also reacted, and snorted: "You are more ruthless than our lenders."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Brother Hao, you are humble now. I am not as cruel as you. I want to be more ruthless. Cough cough, if you really feel wronged and unhappy, why not let your colleagues print the contract. Everyone is the same, so there is nothing to be wronged, and in terms of cost, the peers will not take advantage of it!"

Ma Tianhao asked: "How to get them all to print the contract?"

Zhang Fei said: "Help promote it, buy a contract for five cents, and the defendant will get five hundred pennies once."

This is not doing business.

This is just robbery.

But after thinking about it, it's not a problem to keep grabbing us a few times.

As the saying goes, it is better to be alone than to be happy.
