Yan Jidao.
The son of the famous prime minister Yan Shu, it is said that he could write articles at the age of seven and passed the imperial examination at the age of fourteen. He was definitely a child from an ordinary family. Together with Yan Shu, he was called "the second Yan".
He was also a famous poet of the graceful and elegant school in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Numb!
The chance of meeting a historical acquaintance in the Northern Song Dynasty is just a little too high.
Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian got out of the car.
"I am Zhang Fei, meeting Mr. Yan."
Zhang Fei bowed and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Yan has any advice for me?"
Yan Jidao bowed and said, "I don't deserve your advice, but I just saw Zhang Sanlang suing for Su Zizhan, so I also want to ask Zhang Sanlang to sued for my father."
Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but look at each other.
Yes.
Today's intellectuals are not stupid.
And it's not stupid at all.
You came to me so quickly.
Zhang Fei asked knowingly, "I wonder what lawsuit Mr. Yan is going to file?"
"It's about the Sanlu Zhai that plagiarized my father's poetry collection." Yan Jidao's face showed a little anger.
Zhang Fei glanced at him and asked, "It seems that it is not as simple as just pirating."
Yan Jidao hesitated a little, "In fact, the situation is somewhat similar to Su Shizhan's. The books printed by their bookstore are also shoddy and unbearable to look at. I once negotiated with them and pointed out the mistakes, hoping that they could correct them. However, Sanluzhai always pretended to obey and did not change the printing plate in time, which resulted in even worse books printed later."
It is interesting to note that in history, Yan Jidao and Su Shi were both harmed by their poems, but both of them came to Zhang Fei first to file a copyright lawsuit.
Zhang Fei asked, "How much compensation do you wish to claim?"
Yan Jidao shook his head and said, "I don't want money, I just want them to stop printing my father's poems and articles."
Zhang Fei nodded slightly and said, "I can take your case, but I have a condition."
Yan Jidao asked, "How much do you want for your reward?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "I don't need to be paid. I just bought a bookstore. I hope you can give all of Yan Xiang's poems and articles to the store."
Nowadays, Su Shi does not have enough poems and articles, and he just has potential. However, Yan Shu has piles of articles. If we can take down the Yan family, there will be nothing to worry about.
Yan Jidao asked in surprise: "You also run a bookstore?"
"It was because of this lawsuit that I decided to open a bookstore."
Zhang Fei explained: "I think these articles and poems are the treasures of our Song Dynasty and must be treated well. The shoddy products of those bookstores are really tarnishing these beautiful poems and articles. After all, I am also half a poet."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "puff" sound.
Zhang Fei glanced at Xu Zhiqian depressedly, "What are you laughing at?"
Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips and said, "You can't even be considered half of it."
Yan Jidao said, "Miss Xu is wrong. Zhang Sanlang's 'Don't say it's not heartbreaking, the curtains are rolled up by the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers' is really a quatrain, and it was written with a woman's heart. I am ashamed of myself."
These three sentences have long been spread throughout the capital and are known to everyone.
You should know that Yan Jidao's poems about love are unique, and his evaluation is absolutely authoritative.
Xu Zhiqian curled her lips and thought, that was definitely not done by him. He couldn't even understand my complaint.
"As expected of Mr. Yan, you have better vision than some people."
Zhang Fei bowed his hands, glanced at Xu Zhiqian proudly, and then said, "So I plan to open my own bookstore. I can assure you that our bookstore will print the most exquisite collection of poems in the world for Prime Minister Yan, and at the same time, our bookstore will pay you a certain amount of copyright fees."
"Copyright fee?"
Yan Jidao was completely confused.
"Exactly."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "If Mr. Yan is willing, we will sign a contract. Mr. Yan can write down some requirements in the contract and authorize me at the same time. I will get a certain amount of compensation for this authorization. I will call it copyright fee."
At first, Yan Jidao just didn't want to see his father's poems being ruined like this. If there was a typo in a beautiful poem, it would be like eating a fly, especially since he himself was a poet.
I never thought that nowadays I can not only ask for exquisite production, but also get paid for it. This is simply impossible to refuse!
Yan Jidao nodded and agreed without any hesitation.
Zhang Fei coughed lightly and said, "Well, if you are willing, can you also give your poems to our bookstore for printing?"
"I?"
Yan Jidao was stunned for a long time, then humbly waved his hands and said: "My humble work cannot be accepted in a prestigious museum. No, no."
Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "That's right. In my opinion, a fine collection of poems should not only contain beautiful poems and articles, but also express the author's true wishes. Therefore, we will also add some stories behind the poems. These stories can also avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
And you are the son of Yan Xiang. Adding some of your poems to Yan Xiang's collection of poems can be considered a kind of inheritance, which is perfect."
If we only print poems, how much can we print? The average reader will find it much less interesting. The stories behind them are more attractive.
Xu Zhiqian's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at Zhang Fei in surprise. She felt that it was a waste of Zhang Fei's talent to be an informant. If he were to be a businessman, he would probably become the richest businessman soon.
This idea is really exciting.
Yes!
This is the perfect collection of poetry!
When Yan Jidao heard this, his eyes flashed and his heart was filled with joy. He agreed with a little shyness.
The three of them found a teahouse nearby and signed an employment contract.
Same as Su Shi.
In triplicate.
Written by Yan Jidao himself.
Must keep!
It will be something for future generations to brag about.
However, the contract did not specify the issue of remuneration, because Zhang Fei did not want any money, and the bookstore had not yet been officially transferred. On the issue of remuneration, the two parties only reached a verbal agreement.
Although it was the first time he met Yan Jidao, he still believed in Yan Jidao.
After Yan Jidao left, Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect you to be so good at business. If you can really print the kind of books you just mentioned, you will definitely be able to sell them for a lot of money."
Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "If I can't solve the problem of counterfeiting before then, I will definitely lose all my money. Let's go to the office."
Xu Zhiqian asked curiously, "Why go to the office? Shouldn't we go home first to discuss the exception to the law?"
Zhang Fei said, "Now that my benefactor has not yet left the court, let's go to the office and settle the lawsuit first."
He got on the carriage and headed straight to the Bian Jing Law Firm.
"Congratulations to Sanlang and Madam Xu for another great victory."
As soon as I got off the carriage, Fan Li came to greet me warmly, smiling so hard that his eyes almost disappeared.
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "There's nothing to congratulate about this, because this is definitely the easiest lawsuit I've ever fought. After all, not all of my opponents are enemies."
Xu Zhiqian on the side thought about it and it seemed to be true.
Even when I helped Cao Yanei to fight a lawsuit last time, the opponents were all enemies!
Only this time, the wind was blowing.
Most of the scholars and literati supported him.
"That's it! That's it!"
Fan Li smiled and nodded, then suddenly asked, "I wonder how much compensation Kaifeng Prefecture ordered Ji Juxian to pay in the end?"
Compensation is the key!
"See for yourself!"
Zhang Fei handed the verdict to Fan Li and then entered the store.
But those spies and tea-drinkers lined up in the store to welcome the return of their king.
Words of congratulations and flattery are heard all the time.
Zhang Fei said that tonight at Guangjulou, all the bills would be paid for by Zhang Erbi.
This Guangjulou is located in Lushi Lane. It is of decent standard, but it is a very formal restaurant.
I can't afford the wine and flowers right now.
After all, we are still in the start-up stage.
But this has already broken Fan Li's record. That guy had never invited him once, which immediately caused all the ears to cheer.
Fan Li, who came in later, suddenly pulled Zhang Fei aside and whispered, "Didn't you say it was one thousand strings of cash? Why are you giving us the Ji Juxian as compensation?"
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "One thousand strings of cash? Does he have that?"
"If I don't have a thousand, I can still get three or five hundred."
"Alright! I have other plans for this matter, but don't worry, I will fulfill our contract and the store will definitely have income."
As he said that, Zhang Fei suddenly turned around and said, "Zhengwen, come here for a moment."
I saw a young man running over, "Third brother, what can I do for you?"
This person's name is Qiu Zhengwen. In the last "winter vacation homework", he had excellent results. Key point is that he is very young, so he is the object of Zhang Fei's intensive training.
It is impossible for him to fight every lawsuit personally.
"I'll give you a lawsuit."
Zhang Fei slapped the contract between him and Yan Jidao on Qiu Zhengwen’s chest.
Qiu Zhengwen's face lit up with joy, and he covered the contract with both hands, "Thank you, Third Brother. Thank you, Third Brother."
Seeing this, Xu Zhiqian hurried over and whispered, "Zhang San, have you... have you thought it through?"
Zhang Fei said: "Don't worry, there will be no problem."
Fan Li saw Xu Zhiqian's expression and knew that this lawsuit was not simple. He turned his head to look at her. After a while, he snatched the contract away with one hand, "Sanlang, this is related to the Yan family. How can we let Zhengwen go? No, no."
Although the Yan family has never recovered since Yan Shu's death, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse!
Fan Like had never fought a lawsuit for such a family, and Qiu Zhengwen was the least experienced lawyer among their lawyers.
Zhang Fei ignored Fan Li and asked Qiu Zhengwen, "Zhengwen, do you have confidence?"
When Qiu Zhengwen heard that it was the Yan family, this...!
Where does the confidence come from
Zhang Fei added: "If you don't have confidence, I will replace you."
Third brother trusted me so much, I can't let him down! Qiu Zhengwen gritted his teeth and said, "I have it."
"That'll do."
Zhang Fei handed the verdict to Qiu Zhengwen again, "Write a petition based on this verdict, but don't submit it to the provincial government, just submit it to the left and right officials."
The "Zuoyouxianggong" he mentioned, whose full name is "Goudang Zuoyouxianggongshi", can be understood as the community court of Kaifeng Prefecture, which generally only handles minor civil and criminal cases.
If the number of strokes of the cane exceeds sixty, the offender will be sent to another court.
Qiu Zhengwen nodded woodenly.
Zhang Fei asked again: "Is there any problem?"
"Is it okay to just follow...write it according to this verdict?" Qiu Zhengwen asked.
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Is one night enough for you?"
“Enough, enough, enough!”
Qiu Zhengwen nodded repeatedly.
If you are writing along with the judgment, it is equivalent to an open-book exam. There is no need for a whole night. An hour is enough.
