Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 331 Interest Transfer

The average price of this Tokyo field is about three or four guan, but if it is used as a mortgage, it is basically discounted in half, that is, one or two guan. , it is impossible to break this case.

One hectare of land is [-] mu. If calculated in two units, one hectare of land is two hundred units, and five hundred hectares is almost a loan of [-] units.

But that's almost half the charity's fortunes.

Although Zhang Fei had told them before that they needed to mortgage the land to obtain cash, there was not so much money in the account. If they waited for the annual grain harvest, the day lily would be cold.

But no one thought that Zhang Fei would strike so hard.

It's a direct start of [-] guan.

This amount makes everyone feel timid. Although the prospect of football is indeed impressive, is it worth investing so much money in it?

Everyone looked at Chen Maoqian and Fan Yong one after another, hinting to them that you have a good relationship, please tell me.

"Sanlang, can't this competition cost so much money?" Chen Maoqian asked tentatively.

Zhang Fei said: "Bonuses are important to build a football match. Next year I plan to use [-] guan as a bonus to attract them to form a team to participate. In addition to the venue rental fee, game balls, and labor costs, I probably Forget it, it may take almost [-] guan."

"Ten thousand consistent bonuses? That's a little too much."

"Let's not say [-] guan, even [-] guan will be contested by someone. This year, Qiyun Club's bonus is only [-] guan, and it has never exceeded [-] guan."

After all, this is just an entertainment, not alcohol, food, these consumer goods that people can't do without.

Zhang Fei explained: "It doesn't mean that whoever wins will get 1 guan. This is to reward all teams. Every participating team can get some fees, and it also includes some game expenses. No. [-] Only two thousand guan."

"Only"?
Your "only" is really domineering!

Everyone was a little speechless.

Zhang Fei can only continue to explain: "This is just the beginning, we have to come up with some gimmicks, if there is no profit, we will not be able to attract more participating teams, after we have completed the formation of the football league, the prize money, we will then Arrangements will be made according to the profits obtained.”

Fan Yong immediately said: "But Sanlang, as the saying goes, it is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. The bonus is so high at the beginning, and it will be difficult to reduce it in the future."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "First of all, no matter how extravagant or frugal they are, they will have no choice but we will take the initiative. Secondly, I don't think there is much need to reduce it. The profits will be very considerable."

The lumber merchant Zhou Yan said: "Can this football game earn so much money? Even if there are a thousand people watching a game, the profit is just that. I guess it's not enough to pay off the interest."

The rest nodded.

The loan has to pay interest!

The interest of one hundred thousand strings is not a small amount.

"Tickets are just a negligible profit in it."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Don't forget, I said before that we have a loan of [-] guan, but we only use [-] guan for the game. The remaining [-] guan is used to invest in the football-related industries. It also includes workshops for making movable type, as well as rental of carriages and horses.”

"The industry around football?"

"Not bad!"

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "For example, the manufacture of balls, such as clothing, such as sneakers, etc."

"How much money can these make?" Chen Maoqian asked puzzled.

Zhang Fei said: "Once football becomes popular, these products will surely sell well and become one of our main sources of income. In addition, there is another important investment, which is gambling."

"Gambling?"

"Don't you guys know that the Hong Family Gambler bet on this match?"

"Of course I know. Could this be you, Saburo!"

"Wrong, it's not me, but the money invested by charities. We estimate that we can earn one or two thousand guan in this game."

One or two thousand strings?
This is equivalent to earning back the bonus!

This thing is indeed a gold-absorbing weapon!
With this back-and-forth, then...that can play bigger.

Fan Yong coughed suddenly, and reminded in a low voice: "Sanlang, although your business is good, but you have to keep a low profile, and you can't do it openly."

Zhang Fei asked: "Why?"

Chen Maoqian said anxiously: "Does it need to be said, we are doing charity under the banner of charity. No, I mean, we are doing charity after all, but we use the charity money for gambling. damage our reputation."

As he spoke, he added, "Of course, I support it, but I think it should be low-key."

But Zhang Fei said: "It's impossible to hide this, and it's impossible to keep a low profile."

"how do I say this?"

"It's very simple. Our accounts are completely open, and the government will send people to spot checks from time to time. How can we hide this. But..."

Zhang Fei smiled and said again: "Don't worry, this charity gambling is charity, not gambling. Think about it, the money won from this gambling is also used for charity, and it's not for anyone to enjoy it. They want it Dissatisfied with this, they took some money to donate!"

If it is really used for charity, this is really not afraid of others talking.

But the problem is that everyone doesn't want to do charity in their hearts!
"Do all of it for charity?"

Paper shop merchant Huang Can said in a low voice.

Everyone turned their attention to Zhang Fei.

A bunch of idiots, can you say that clearly?Zhang Fei pretended not to hear it, "That's right! I'm really busy with my affairs, so I plan to ask Fan Dalang to help me. Are you okay?"

Fan Yong immediately said: "Of course there is no problem."

As soon as the words came out, almost everyone looked at him.

Your son, of course you have no problem!

Zhang Fei added: "This football game is not a simple business. It needs sufficient manpower to manage a lot of things. I will leave the recruitment to you."

Yes!As agreed at the beginning, this salary is the main benefit transfer!

Everyone nodded in unison.

This time everyone is fine.

A bowl of water can be flat.

Zhang Fei said: "But I have something to say first, ability determines everything. After all, this charity is about everyone's love. If the ability is insufficient, it will even cause us to lose money, and it will be punished accordingly."

"Yes, yes, of course, of course."

In fact, Zhang Fei didn't say that, they would supervise each other, after all, it was everyone's money.

Zhang Fei said to Fan Yong again: "Mr. Fan, I think not drinking while watching the game means not watching the game. I hope you can brew a kind of wine that is easy to drink while watching the game."

Watching football and drinking?That's a good idea!Fan Yong's eyes lit up at first, but then he frowned and said: "It's impossible to watch the game and there is a table of food in front of it, and there is no food to go with the wine. Drinking this wine is also boring!"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "This is something you should consider, but if it can be brewed, I believe it will be a big hit."

Fan Yong nodded and said: "All right, all right, I'll go back and think about it."

Zhang Fei nodded, and said to Chen Maoqian who was almost drooling: "Mr. Chen."

"exist!"

Chen Maoqian almost didn't stand at attention.

Zhang Fei said: "We may need a lot of stores to sell football-related products, so we will entrust you with the store matters."

Chen Maoqian nodded and said, "No problem."

Zhang Fei added: "At that time there will be leather, silk, etc., and we will discuss it in detail then."

The faces of the wealthy businessmen coincidentally showed gratified smiles.

understood!

Got it all!

The meat is rotten in the pot.

Then it doesn't matter!

If you look at it this way, the football game is worth doing. If you don't make it bigger, how will the benefits be conveyed!

If you just set up a movable type printing workshop, the transfer of benefits is too obvious. As long as the court is not stupid, you can definitely see it. In this football match, the benefits are a very complicated structure, and there is a lot of room for manipulation.

In fact, their expectations for charities are relatively low, mainly for tax avoidance and whether they can make money, which they have not yet held high hopes for.

Zhang Fei said: "Do you have any comments?"

All the wealthy businessmen shook their heads.

Zhang Fei said again: "Alright then, let Fan Dalang negotiate with the Ma family and see how the loan will be handled."

"If the interest rate is too high, we can't have it."

Although the meat is rotten in the pot, everyone still hopes that they can share more.

The Ma family is simply earning money lying down. If the interest rate is still too high, it will be too much.

After talking about the issue of benefit transfer, these donors left contentedly.

"They're all gone!"

Not long after these rich merchants left, Xu Zhiqian came into the hall with Gao Wenyin on her arm.

Zhang Fei pretended to be surprised and said: "Zhiqian, you came back so early, isn't it because the football game is so boring, it bored you to death."

Gao Wenyin pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

Xu Zhiqian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter that I'm bored, the important thing is that everyone likes to watch it."

Zhang Fei said contemptuously, "What about your previous attitude?"

"My attitude has never changed." Xu Zhiqian Shuangfeng stood up: "My attitude is that I am worried about your failure, I hope you succeed, your football game can be successful, I am too happy to be happy."

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, "You're just playing around."

Gao Wenyin added in a low voice, "Sanlang, Mrs. Xu really cares about you."

"Yes."

Xu Zhiqian said: "Besides, I wasn't the only one who thought your football would not succeed. But I don't know why, but today those people have followed like a demon, even my sisters. Do you know the reason? ?”

This question has been bothering her just now.

Those audiences, including her sisters, were crazy.

Zhang Fei asked back: "Are you not possessed?"

"No!" Xu Zhiqian shook her head lightly.

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment and asked, "Were you watching the game at that time?"

Xu Zhiqian's eyes fluttered: "I'm paying attention to everyone's reactions."

"I see."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Next time you watch the game seriously, it is best to have a supportive team, and you will be able to experience the magic."

"Really?" Xu Zhiqian didn't have the confidence to question Zhang Fei now, and asked again: "Have you agreed to invest money in this football match?"

Zhang Fei nodded.

"Then how much do you plan to invest?"

"One hundred thousand."

"One hundred thousand?"

Gao Wenyin exclaimed.

Xu Zhiqian was stunned, "There are so many?"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "If I can't even accommodate [-] hits, then I wouldn't choose to engage in this football match."

Xu Zhiqian was a little worried again.

This is simply desperate!

However, the reality tells Xu Zhiqian that football is definitely worth looking forward to.

The popularity of this football game soon extended from Jucheng to the general public. After all, not only high-ranking officials and dignitaries attended the game today, but people from all walks of life.

Therefore, all the major restaurants and teahouses are talking about the football match tonight.

Including Ailanlou, Fan Yongquan saw it, and hurriedly asked people to find a way to brew a wine suitable for watching football.

But they were not talking about whether cuju is better or football is better, but they were talking about how unfortunate the guard horse lost at that time, how shameless Cao Dongdong was, and they crazily complained about the referee and the draw system.

This made those disdainful dandies wonder, is this football match good or bad?
Want to say okay?

Everyone is scolding, but no one is really boasting. When it comes to this game, everyone is full of resentment.

Can you say it's bad?

Almost everyone is talking about the football game, free kicks, corner kicks, offsides.

There are also people who will simulate on the cloth what is offside and the formations of the two sides at that time. Similarly, everyone is arguing about this.

However, compared to the enthusiasm in the public, there are very few officials in the DPRK and China who discuss the football game. After all, Wang Anshi's reform has already begun, and their minds at this moment are not on entertainment.

Especially in the middle of this competition, there was a small episode, that is, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang officially recommended Zhang Fei to the emperor.

Moreover, at that time, everyone also saw very clearly that both of them wanted to win Zhang Fei to their side.

These two represent reformers and conservatives.

The people on Wang Anshi's side were not surprised, because in the eyes of many people, Zhang Fei belonged to Wang Anshi.

It is precisely for this reason that conservative members were very surprised.

Among them are Liu Shu and Qi Hui, two assistants who assisted Sima Guang in judicial reform.

"Scholar Sima, I don't deny Zhang San's talent, but he obviously supports Wang Jiefu, so why should we waste our efforts."

Liu Shu asked in confusion.

He and Qi Hui were not demoted last time because Sima Guang believed that the procuratorate lacked helpers at the time, and the two of them were officials from the Ministry of Punishment and the Trial Court. They were originally legal officials. Su Shi asked them to discuss it. excusable.

Sima Guang said: "Zhang San has supported Wang Anshi several times, but don't forget that he also helped me several times."

Qi Hui immediately said: "It can be seen that this kid is very cunning, he is not trustworthy to please both sides."

Between innovation and conservatism, Zhang Fei did not make a clear statement, but judging from some of his behaviors, it is obvious that he is more inclined to reform.

It is mainly the lawsuit of the ancestral law. The previous ancestral law was to defend the system established by the ancestors. After that lawsuit, Zhang Fei injected the gene of reform into the ancestral law. The argument was to get rid of the bad government. Definitely cannot abolish bad governance.

Relatively speaking, conservatives do not trust Zhang Fei so much.

Sima Guang said: "But one thing, he has never changed."

"Which point?"

"It's about defending the law." Sima Guang glanced at them. "In this regard, he is even better than you."

The two were immediately ashamed and silent.

This is indeed indisputable, although Zhang Fei always wins, but he always wins based on the law, rather than resorting to crooked ways, winning is fair and aboveboard.

On the contrary, they often forget the law and try to suppress Zhang Fei with their power.

After all, there is a tradition that officials respect the people and the people are inferior. After all, Zhang Fei is an asshole. Some words from Zhang Fei's mouth should not be. This is challenging the authority of the officials.

Moreover, then again, he, Zhang Fei, has no power and power, and can only rely on the law.

It always sounds strange to emphasize fairness in a system that is inherently unfair.

Sima Guang continued: "In the case of the procuratorate last time, we lost on this point. If we don't even defend the law, why should we supervise the establishment of the Second Government Regulations Division.

Zhang Fei's talents and his views on the judiciary can make up for our deficiencies.If Zhang Fei is willing to help us complete the judicial reform, it will be even more powerful. "

As he said that, Sima Guang saw that the two were still somewhat suspicious, so he added: "If Zhang San really completely relies on Wang Jiefu, then he will be able to provide Wang Anshi with means to evade legal supervision, which is very disadvantageous to us. "

As soon as these words came out, Liu Shu and Qi Hui nodded in unison.

Whether Zhang Fei joins them or not, they don't really value it that much, but they are really afraid of Zhang Fei joining Wang Anshi's side. At present, their layout is in the local area, and the only thing that can stop the New Deal is the judiciary.

Then Zhang Fei is indeed more critical.

This ebb and flow, double the damage!

Liu Shu asked: "Is there a way for Bachelor Sima to let him assist us in completing the judicial reform?"

Sima Guang nodded confidently: "He will be able to play a very limited role in setting up the Division of Regulations of the Second Mansion, but if he joins us, he will be able to show his strengths. But you have to let go of your prejudices against Zhang San, don't let him go." I've been thinking about teaching him a lesson."

Liu Shu couldn't help laughing at himself and said, "Give him a lesson. If he doesn't teach us a lesson, we will have to burn incense. Anyone who offends him seems to end well."

This time Gu Ji was also abolished.

Among the court officials, this is already the third victim.

Even if Sima Guang didn't say anything, no one would be so stupid as to bother Zhang Fei for a trivial matter.

Of course, if Zhang Fei participates in government affairs in the future, that will be another matter.

Sima Guang let out a long sigh: "Actually people like Wang Wenshan, Wang Hong, Gu Ji, etc., they didn't lose to Zhang Fei, they just asked for trouble. In addition, they are usually not clean, so they were hit back by Zhang San. In fact, the people who have conflicts with Zhang San are far more than the three of them. Why are other people fine? You have to learn from it!"

Liu Shu and Qi Hui nodded awkwardly.

These three people are basically shit, as long as the power can't hold Zhang Fei, they will be very passive, because Zhang Fei is just a political amateur, except for his humble status, basically he has no point to be attacked, and in terms of status, he And Xu Zun, Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang supported him.

Under Sima Guang's suggestion, the conservative faction also reached a consensus to try their best to win over Zhang Fei, but the main purpose was to not want Zhang Fei to join Wang Anshi's camp.

With the competition between reformists and conservatives, Zhang Fei, who is in the market, has won a relatively good external environment.

As long as he doesn't make a statement, neither side will regard him as a thorn in the side or a thorn in the flesh.

He can concentrate on starting his own business layout.

On the third day after the competition, the newspaper published an article, and the celebration of the Zu Charity Contest ended successfully.

Before donating, there was a lot of money.

Both sides scored two goals each, a total of four goals. Charity organizations will use [-] guan to donate winter supplies for the people, and will announce the list of donations later, so that everyone can check.

This move has changed many people's views on charities.

This seems to be really doing charity.

At the same time, another [-] guan was donated to the police station for the research and development of police equipment, and donated to the guard horse for the construction of the school yard.

In the past two days, everyone is still discussing this matter. It was stated before that the winner will get a thousand guan, but now it is a draw, so the money will not be donated.

It's entirely possible.

But the charity still took out a thousand strings.

This also made many people give a thumbs up.

Is a man.

But this is just an appetizer. The charity organization is officially named as the Dasong Charity Fund, headquartered in the Baifan Building, and will give [-] guan as a bonus and hold a football league.

Ten thousand?

This definitely breaks the prize money record!

Jinshi is the first, and he can't get so many rewards!
