Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 250: Tit for Tat

Tit for tat?

That's a really good idea.

Xu Zhiqian's eyes lit up.

She knew very well in her heart that it was almost impossible to fight Kaifeng Mansion again this time.

About privileges, this is really a high-tension line, and you can't even touch it. Since ancient times, no one has been able to do this.

Never have.

Can only be clarified by the tabloids.

Xu Zhiqian immediately acted with Zhang Fei.

Because Xu Zhiqian had only written pleading papers, but not newspaper articles, she had no idea for a while, so Zhang Fei could only tell the story and she would write it as a ghostwriter.

If you ask Zhang Fei to write, Zhang Fei may not be able to do it. If you ask him to say it, it will be a long story!

And Zhang Fei was very emotional, criticizing those literati and big landlords wantonly, saying that they want to rule the world with the literati, but you use tenant farmers to threaten the court. This kind of behavior is not worthy of this kind of treatment.

"It's absolutely impossible to write like this."

Xu Zhiqian put down her pen.

Zhang Fei excitedly said: "Why not?"

Xu Zhiqian looked at the irritable Zhang Fei, "Calm down first."

Zhang Fei said solemnly, "I'm very calm now. They're trying to deal with my father-in-law. If I don't fight back this time, no matter what I do in the future, they will use my father-in-law to threaten me."

Xu Zhiqian said: "If you were calm, you wouldn't think so. What you said just now proves that my father is right. The imperial court should take back those privileges."

Zhang Fei asked: "Is there a problem?"

"Of course there is a problem."

Xu Zhiqian said: "If you want to argue about right and wrong, the tabloids can't solve the problem, and the officials are unlikely to agree to do so. If that's the case, let's prove my father is right and they are wrong." Yes, what's the point of this? And it will only confirm their speculation, thinking that this is a conspiracy by my father."

Zhang Fei blinked and asked, "Then how do you say it from your point of view?"

Xu Zhiqian thought for a while, "We should start with the court's concerns."

Zhang Fei asked, "What are you worried about?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "Uncle Sima and the others are worried that those big landlords will take the opportunity to dismiss the tenants. We can even write down the reasons for the previous lawsuit, and focus on the tenants, not the relationship with them. The battle of the big landowners."

As expected of my wife, she can still stay sober under such circumstances. Zhang Fei also thought so, and pretended to think about it, "It would be difficult to write this way, because it has to be proved from the side, the cause and effect of this matter. Can you do it?"

Xu Zhiqian nodded very confidently and said, "Although my article can't catch the eyes of Master Wang and the others, I should still be able to do it."

Zhang Fei nodded: "Okay, let's split up. You write here first, and I will go to the printing workshop to prepare."

"Yeah."

Xu Zhiqian said: "Hurry up and go."

After getting out of Xu's mansion and getting into the carriage, Zhang Fei's expression changed slightly, and he said to himself: "Zhiqian, you can't blame me for hiding this from you. If I let you know, I will take your father to play this game." It’s a showy operation, then you can’t chase me eight streets!”

Come to the genuine bookstore.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare at all.

It took so much money, and it took another half a year, but not a single page was printed, and it was all in preparation.

Whatever you want for movable type and printing plate.

As a result, when Hou Donglai heard that there was finally a job to do, he almost cried with joy.

Zhang Fei felt a little distressed for spending the money.

The only thing to prepare now is the design of the newspaper layout.

You should know that today's residence newspapers and tabloids are all a book. Although the content is the content of newspapers, the style is similar to books.

Zhang Fei wants to create the first paper newspaper.

At the same time, people in the court are still panicked.

Although Sima Guang kept explaining, this is true

It's just a misunderstanding.

But a few days ago, Zhao Xu became famous. Do you think this is a misunderstanding?

Who would believe it!

God knows what medicine is sold in this gourd.

Shen Mansion.

"This is really God helping me!"

Shen Huaixiao laughed loudly.

Du Xiu asked: "Brother Shen, what do you say?"

Shen Huai Xiaodao: "Originally the officials let Uncle Lu Hui be the planner, and they would definitely not let us go. To tell you the truth, I have already packed my luggage, but now that they are making such a fuss, the other ministers will definitely Will support us."

Cao Han also nodded and said: "I agree with Brother Shen, we have to make a fuss about this, it is impossible for the officials to do this, the more we contribute, the more they will support us."

Du Xiu and Tang Ji also reacted and looked at each other with joy.

For them, this is really a turn of events.

In the previous lawsuit, they cheated and were caught. The officials were very tolerant without strict investigation.

Because the three courts have been controlled by their judges.

But it's different now. Many people think that this is a serial drama, and they want to stick a stick to the end. They must defend their own interests, and they will definitely try their best to protect them.

The court of justice.

"Junshi, have you found out who did this?"

Wen Yanbo asked Sima Guang.

Of course he believed in Sima Guang. This was a misunderstanding. What he was curious about now was who leaked such a confidential meeting.

"No!"

Sima Guang shook his head, "I don't even dare to speculate if this matter has become like this, and they don't allow Kaifeng Mansion to investigate this matter."

Judging from this tabloid, those scholar-bureaucrats thought it was done by a friendly army. Without this tabloid, they would have been kept in the dark, but they could discuss the facts and leak court secrets, which is a violation of the system.

If anyone is found out, then this person may be punished.

They are all desperately protecting this person, preventing Kaifeng Mansion from investigating the matter.

Sima Guang, who knew the truth, thought it was funny, and Zhang Fei was about to spoil it.

Wen Yanbo asked again: "Then what are you going to do?"

Sima Guang sighed: "No matter how I explain it, they don't believe it. We can only quickly revise that law and promulgate it, so that they can know it. We really have no intention of doing so."

Wen Yanbo nodded slightly, "But this matter has to be clarified by the officials themselves, otherwise, everyone will inevitably be suspicious."

Sima Guang nodded slightly.

Actually, he feels a little bit regretful now, he was really obsessed with ghosts and listened to Zhang Fei's nonsense.

He really didn't expect that there would be such a big trouble, because Zhang Fei didn't tell him that he would write an article to slander Xu Zun.

This operation is really quite enchanting.

Even if Zhang Fei made a mess, it wouldn't be like this.

He had to ask Zhang Fei for clarification.

And Xu Zhiqian wrote a big article very quickly. Since the content of the previous lawsuit was very rich, Zhang Fei planned to publish it in three installments.

The advantages of movable type printing are now reflected, and everyone typesets quickly.

Although some characters are not engraved well, the Chinese language is broad and profound, and a few characters can express the same meaning.

After Xu Zhiqian left, Zhang Fei called Hou Donglai over, "Print a thousand copies first, and sell them directly to those tea shops and restaurants for thirty cents a piece."

Hou Donglai asked in surprise, "Is it so expensive?"

It has been calculated before that the cost of 1,000 copies is about five cents per copy, after all, the number of words is a little more.

Three thousand copies, big

Probably it can be reduced to two pennies.

Zhang Fei said: "We are selling this to a restaurant, not buying an individual, it doesn't matter if it is more expensive, they can afford it."

But my heart is crying, it's not easy, I can finally make free TM money.

If you don't make money, you will go bankrupt.

Hou Donglai said again: "But our workshop is all craftsmen, and there is no one who sells newspapers."

Zhang Fei clicked his tongue, "Aren't you going to find someone to sell it? Do you need me to teach you how to do this?"

But as he said that, he was taken aback for a moment, "It's not necessary, as long as we release the news, those restaurants and tea shops will come to you."

Everyone is looking forward to this follow-up.

As long as the government doesn't stop it, there will be a fire!

Just at this moment, Li Si ran in suddenly, and whispered in Zhang Fei's ear, "Third Brother, the Grand Master Sima is here."

Come to me now, this old man is really calm! Zhang Fei immediately asked Hou Dong to come and work in the workshop, and then personally invited Sima Guang to the house.

As soon as the door was closed, the old man glared at each other, "What do you want to do, kid?"

Zhang Fei was very wronged and said: "Scholar Sima, I was forced by you."

Sima Guang's heart skipped a beat, "It's nonsense, when will I force you to spread rumors to slander your father-in-law."

Zhang Fei said: "But Master Sima must let my father-in-law speak. If I don't do this, someone will doubt my father-in-law. I decided to do this after careful consideration. It's the safest way."

After Sima Guang heard this, his confidence dropped sharply, "Yes, no one doubts your father-in-law nowadays, but they all take it seriously, and they don't even believe my words, so what do you say."

He also had to admit that no one doubted that their son-in-law did it.

Still desperately protecting the culprit.

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Scholar Sima, please rest assured, I am prepared."

Speaking, he took out the article written by Xu Zhiqian and handed it to Sima Guang, "I plan to retaliate with retaliation, using tabloids to explain."

Sima Guang was not surprised by this, nor did he think that Zhang Fei's purpose was to get newspapers. After all, no one knew how powerful the newspapers were.

After reading it carefully, Sima Guang nodded frequently, but after reading it, he frowned: "Did you write this?"

Zhang Fei said: "No, how can I write such a good article, Zhiqian wrote it."

Sima Guang stroked his beard and said, "Xu Zhongtu's family education is still lacking!"

"?"

Zhang Fei looked at Sima Guang in bewilderment.

Sima Guangdao: "The idea of ​​this article is very good, and the thinking is also clear, that is, how about I write an article for you."

He likes the idea and thinking of this article very much. It clearly describes the thoughts of the imperial court, as well as the cause and effect.

It is not said that it is aimed at those scholar-bureaucrat classes.

This is the style of writing, it is really difficult to describe it in one sentence, it is too straightforward, and it is basically difficult to find a sentence in the Confucian classics.

Sima Guang's articles are not as good as those of Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu, etc., but he is also a great writer. In his opinion, this article is at the child's level, so how can he get it right?

At the same time, his thoughts were gushing like a fountain, and his hands were itchy.

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "It's too late, I've already done the typesetting, and if the Sima University scholar writes it, people will recognize it at a glance."

Sima Guang nodded slightly disappointed, but immediately said: "No, I will write."

"Huh?"

Zhang Fei looked at Sima Guang puzzled.

Sima Guangdao: "I am also involved in this matter. Of course I have the responsibility to explain all this. You ask someone to help me prepare pen and ink, and I will write an article."

This caught Zhang Fei by surprise. He hurriedly explained movable type printing to Sima Guang. Some words were missing!

Sima Guang said: "No problem

If not, I can change it. "

Seeing that the old man had to write this article, Zhang Fei could only let him.
