A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1365: Small merit or great merit

In the court, Bao Zheng was a little distracted.

"Bao Qing..."

Zhao Shu called twice in a row before Bao Zheng came back to his senses.

"What is Bao Qing thinking about?"

When Bao Zheng was rarely distracted, Zhao Shu even laughed.

"I think it's difficult to be a good person."

Bao Zheng said: "Shen An went to the northwest, Yang Jinian suddenly fell ill, and is still dying at home... Someone is targeting the Shen family at this moment, I... If it was ten years ago, I would have to knock on the door."

The Kaifeng Mansion was trying a case, and Bao Zheng suddenly said these words as he was filing a report.

——If the punishment of Kaifeng Mansion is unfavorable to the Shen family, I will take action!

How will he start?

It must be aimed at the group of people behind Chen Fuler.

If you are trying to support Chen Fu'er behind his back, I will cut him off and take the retreat.

Lao Bao is so cruel!

Zhao Shu's heart moved slightly, and when he was about to speak, a servant came outside.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, what a strange news!"

The chamberlain looked excited after learning the gossip, and his face flushed, "Today there is a trial in Kaifeng Mansion, and Chen Fu'er is so convincing, it seems that the Shen family is about to lose..."

Everyone is not optimistic about the Shen family, otherwise why would Zhao Shu let Bao Zheng keep an eye on it?

This is a threat!

"But Wang Yu actually took out the contract."

A contract is trust, and anyone who fails to keep trust will be despised by thousands of people.

"Is the contract false?"

Ouyang Xiu had been involved in litigation before, so he had some research on these matters.

The chamberlain shook his head, "There are too many things. If you want to leave, you have to tell the Shen family one month in advance with a signed signature."

"Isn't this too overbearing?"

Ouyang Xiu frowned and said, "I will be criticized."

The waiter shook his head, "When you enter the Shen family's workshop, you will be given five guan for free every month for the first three months, and it will be 15 guan for three months. People outside have said that the Shen family will give you 15 guan for free, which makes you want to leave. What's the point of saying it a month in advance?"

Ouyang Xiu touched his old face and then shrank back.

"Later, there is another one. If someone else comes up with a big price to let you go after the term is over, the Shen family has the right to use the same price to keep you. What is this called...the right of priority to renew the contract..."

Can it still be like this?

Han Qi murmured: "I thought the Song Dynasty's contract was good enough, but Shen An actually dug two holes in it..."

"Chen Fuler was dumbfounded on the spot. The woman immediately retracted her confession and said that Chen Fuler had given her fifty guan first and asked her to spread the word around the Shen family's workshop to attract those people...

Magistrate Yang was furious and immediately ordered people to accuse Chen Fule. Before it even started, Chen Fule confessed everything. Now Magistrate Yang has sentenced Chen Fuler to pay 345 guan to the Shen family. That means one person has to pay 15 guan for a total of 20 guan. The three of them... Then Chen Fuer breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to Qingtian! "

Zhao Shu said with some surprise: "Can the contract still be like this?"

The commercial methods from later generations have confused the local indigenous people at this moment.

Isn’t it easy for everyone to talk and break up?

Why do you need to register in advance and have priority to renew the contract?

Bao Zheng said: "Your Majesty, this is something we both agree on. And the Shen family did not take advantage."

Zhao Shu nodded, "Yes! I'll give you fifteen dollars for free and let you speak one month in advance. No one can question this. It's just the priority to renew the contract. I'm afraid this will be criticized."

The chamberlain said: "Your Majesty, as Wang Yu said, the Shen family didn't take it seriously and didn't think of using this clause to deal with her. But before she left, this person was still wandering around in the workshop. , spread the word everywhere, saying that Chen Fuer's family has given many benefits, as long as they have been in the past, this is ungrateful, if you don't deal with her, everyone will follow her in the future, where is the credibility? Who is willing to treat those women favorably? "

Han Qi praised: "This is exactly the reason. It's just that Shen An can think of this in advance, which really surprises me."

Zhao Shu also felt that Shen An was too forward-looking in this matter, "How did he think of adding these two items?"

Everyone looked at Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, you know that the two brothers and sisters had a difficult journey from Xiongzhou to Bianliang, and they had no relatives in Bianliang..."

At this moment, Shen Mi's intestines were probably filled with regret.

Back then, his family was worried about being implicated by Shen Bian, so they turned away the Shen An brothers and sisters who came to seek refuge. But who would have thought that just a few years later, Shen An would become prosperous.

It's okay to be prosperous. Shen Mi wanted to recognize this relative again, but Shen An refused very coldly, and he also showed his own signs.

——Xiongzhou Shen!

From now on, a certain Shen An brother and sister are a separate branch and have no subordinate relationship with other branches of the Shen family.

This is self-reliance.

In this era, it is very rare to start one's own business at a young age, so when Shen An played the brand of Xiongzhou Shen, the Bianliang people laughed at him.

However, as Shen An continued to make meritorious deeds, his business continued to expand, and his influence became more and more important, when mentioning the Shen family in Bianliang, everyone would naturally think of Yulin Lane, and naturally think of Xiongzhou Shen.

This is the foundation!

But now that Shen An is gradually receiving more attention, Shen Mi doesn't dare to say in a big way that he is my nephew, otherwise someone will ask him, why did no one care about the Shen An brothers and sisters in Bianliang back then?

When this was mentioned, both the king and his ministers nodded.

Bao Zheng continued: "The kid was making pot stickers with the vendors. I happened to be on duty in Kaifeng Mansion. When I heard the news, I went to arrest him. Later I found out that he was an underage boy. I felt pity and let him go... Later That kid seems to be bold along the way, but he likes to have some back-up when doing things. It was probably because he was scared by me at that time..."

Speaking of this, Bao Zheng really felt a little guilty.

Back then, he led a group of people to arrest people who were 'gathering to make trouble', but what they saw was a young man teaching the vendors how to make pot stickers, but the words he shouted were a bit confusing.

"That's it!"

Zhao Shu couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Han Qi said: "Although this matter is small, Shen An is in the northwest anyway. It must be settled as soon as possible, otherwise when Shen An comes back..."

Han Qi looked at Bao Zheng and asked tentatively: "Xiren won't take action, right?"

If Lao Bao takes revenge, Chen Fuler may cry.

Bao Zheng said calmly: "Children are making trouble, I will naturally not interfere."

Han Qi nodded, he still believed in Lao Bao's integrity.

Bao Zheng thought of something: "Shen An will be back soon, right? That kid is a tolerant person. Isn't it popular in Bianliang City that he has a good reputation for persuading people with virtue?"

"yes!"

Han Qi nodded, "Your Majesty, I'll leave it as it is."

Zhao Shu nodded, "Shen An has done a little good this time..."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Shen An's inspection of the northwest is not a great achievement!

…

Chen Fuler is currently visiting Yang Jian's home, and there are many gifts along with him.

"this is not good!"

Yang Jian was sitting in the main seat, and he didn't look sick at all.

Chen Fuler smiled and said: "With you here, the people of Kaifeng Mansion can feel at peace, and we, the merchants, can do business with peace of mind! I came here this time to ask... can I still feel at ease in the future?"

Yang Jian took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Just feel at ease."

Chen Fu'er felt happy, knowing that this was a signal to herself, "This time the villain was tricked by Shen An, and all the businessmen outside were in an uproar..."

"I know the two things I added." Yang Jian said coldly: "I only have two sentences: greed for profit and moral decay!"

"yes!"

Chen Fuler said: "The businessmen outside are angry..."

He smiled flatteringly again and said: "Then Shen An...if he comes back from this trip..."

His legs were shaking...

Yang Jian said calmly: "An Xin, he is here just for inspection, and there is no possibility of meritorious service. In addition, Sima Jianyuan and Lu Zhiza are watching. What dares he Shen An do? Besides, Magistrate Yang hates evil the most, let alone It's Shen An, he dares to take people even if they are relatives of the emperor who commit crimes..."

"Then the little man will be relieved."

Yang Jian waved his hand, and after Chen Fuler went out, the old servant came forward and said worriedly: "Mr. Bao, Prime Minister Bao will be angry, and then Shen An will return. It's inappropriate for us to offend that Shen Guoguo!"

"I know something is wrong, but the opportunity is rare!" Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and said: "Those people promised that once a certain person takes action, the lowest he will be is the imperial censor... Kaifeng Prefecture seems to be proud of being promoted to an official, but someone said that in five years, a certain person will No movement is allowed inside.

Five years! How many five years does a person have? It’s worth the risk!

Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Chen Fuler is the rightful owner, and Bao Zheng will not be cruel to someone. The only thing to worry about is Shen An. But Lu Hui and the others said that if a certain person does not move, he will not be promoted within ten years..."

Yang Jian snorted coldly, "How about getting promoted and getting rich! You have to give it a try. If it doesn't work, it won't work. You have to give it a try!"

He stroked the table and said melancholy: "Everyone has to give it a try in life. If you are stable in life, you have to...even if it is a risk, the big deal...is ruined!"

The old servant was worried, "Mr. Lang, even if you succeed in becoming a censor, you still have to be controlled by those people. Why bother?"

"Recommending officials, there are countless grannies above them, they are not as proud as rich men." Yang Jian said angrily: "X and X have no other means, their reputation is not bad, does X and X give up on this? Then wait for five years... Life is impermanent. , live from day to day and die from dawn to dusk, instead of living in such a miserable way, why not take a gamble... take a gamble..."

The sound gradually became inaudible.

…

"How can this happen?"

In Fanlou, a group of businessmen were gathering.

"He is not convinced when doing business in Shen Anbei. Didn't he just get some novel things? If he didn't have those things, would he be afraid of him?" A businessman said with foam at the mouth: "But this time, I am convinced. .”

"Yeah!" Another businessman sighed: "What did this person think? He could even think of such priority for contract renewal... Once this article comes out, it will be difficult for those people to want to unscrupulously pick up the pieces in the future."

"But we have to give them a wage increase! We also have to be careful about them taking advantage of it to increase their worth."

"What's going on that we don't know about?"

"Yes, and whoever poaches people like this is everyone's public enemy. Use money to keep people first, and then let go and deal with your enemies with peace of mind."

"Yes, yes! This article is a relief for businessmen like us."

"That Shen An! I am completely convinced this time."

"Then Chen Fu'er offended him this time. I don't know what will happen when Shen An comes back."

"Says someone is protecting him."

"It depends on whether Shen An returns with meritorious service this time."

…

The days continue to slide by.

When the autumn wind blew countless fallen leaves in Bianliang City, Taro stood in the front yard, frowning at the withered leaves on the branches, and said seriously: "Daddy is not coming back."

"nonsense!"

Yang Zhuoxue came out holding Maodou, turned sideways to block the wind, and then asked, "Where is your aunt?"

"Auntie has a guest."

"Wang Dinger?"

"It seems so..."

Taro looked a little dumbfounded.

"Why are you in a daze again?"

Yang Zhuoxue touched the top of Taro's head and said, "My son, why have you become so stupid? Your father will be so angry when he sees this when he comes back."

A picture emerged in her mind: Shen An came home from riding, dismounted and entered the house. Seeing Taro being stupid, he couldn't help but got furious, and then slapped her...

Why!

No way.

She touched her cheek and felt it was still tender.

The sound of horse hooves suddenly came.

Taro slowly walked towards the door.

Yang Zhuoxue looked up. UU reading www． uukanshu.net

Chen Luo rushed out of the room and went over to open the side door.

A cavalryman was on horseback. He glanced at the yard, and when he saw Yang Zhuochao, mother and son, he held his hands on horseback.

"I've met the lady, I've met the two young gentlemen..."

This is a country soldier.

He should have brought back news from the officials.

Yang Zhuoxue only felt her heartbeat speed up.
