Yu Wenrong was stunned, touched her hands around her body, and shook her head helplessly: "I can't carry so much money with me, right?"

Wang Shi then said, "That's right, whoever has to carry hundreds of stagnant coins with him, think it's your little guy? He puts a lot of money in his bag, as if he's afraid that he won't have money to buy something when he goes out."

"What should I do?" Zhang Zhong looked embarrassed.

"When you go back, someone will send it to you, can we still rely on your account?" Wang Shi felt that Zhang Zhong was disgusting at this moment. What is his identity? Will he not give money?

Zhang Zhong shook his head, "No, you can pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. You must not break the rules. Otherwise... you can make a document for me first, and I will lend you some? I'll bring the money, see."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhong took out a handful of paper money from his body, all of which were in large denominations.

"Okay, Lord Zhang, I know you today. You are ready, right? Borrow it, I'll write a note for you." Wang Shi squeezed out of his teeth, took the paper and pen handed over by the person next to him and wanted to write it, but was stopped by Zhang Zhong.

"Let's go, my money also needs to be used for circulation. If I lend it out, I have to have an interest, otherwise how good I will be in the money house? Two-point profits are calculated by day, will it work?"

"Okay, five points are fine, I'll write." Wang Shi held the pen and wanted to write again, but was stopped by Zhang Zhong again.

"Don't write less. One set is 200 guan. Before, you took out 150 guan, which is the deposit for three sets. I gave you 20% off, which is 480 guan. You have to write 330 guan, otherwise you won't have enough money."

Now Wang Shi stopped writing and stared at Zhang Zhong with his eyes and looked hard. Others were also angry, so how could the price increase at this time?

They are not short of money. Usually, the benefits given to them by Zhang and Wang families are far more than this amount, and many precious things cannot be measured by money.

They feel that they have been cheated, so why did they change the money they had agreed to?

Xiao Song, the Minister of War, came to Zhang Zhong, snorted, and said, "At the beginning, it was 150 jin. Why should we raise the price today? We paid the money."

"The price of goods changes. The money you paid is still a deposit, that's right." Zhang Zhong said innocently with his big eyes.

Jiang Cen joined in the fun: "We have a contract, and we write it in black and white. How can we change it just by saying it? We have to follow the contract."

"Contract? I have it too." Zhang Zhong took out the contract and signaled everyone to come and see it.

He pointed to the words above and said: "First, when there is a quality problem with the order, it will be replaced and repaired for free; second, when the product cannot be provided, all deposits will be directly returned; third, once the product is delivered, the full payment must be paid; fourth, write down 150 trump cards of deposit.

Have you seen it? The 'order' in the first article has not been completely confirmed, that is, when the actual sales price of the product changes, it must be changed, right?"

"I won't buy it anymore. I will refund the money." Wang Shi said angrily.

Zhang Zhong shook his head: "You can't refund it. Look at the one in the next article. The deposit has been paid for 150 stagnant. It doesn't say how much the total price of three fish tanks is. And it uses the word "decide". The money you paid has been confirmed to buy, and it is impossible for you to refund it."

"You are a rogue behavior, how can you write a contract like this? It's clearly a lie. Zhang Zhong, you said your family has a great career, so why are you playing such a small conspiracy with us?"

Wang Shi accused Zhang Zhong and all the ministers agreed.

The others who were still in the living room were stunned and watched their ministers argue over a little money, which added a lot of insight.

Li Longji spoke out: "Don't quarrel, pay attention to the image. The contract is correct. Perform it according to the contract. If you take the money, take the fish tank. If you don't take the money, just pretend that you have never bought it and the money will not be refunded. If you don't believe it, ask others, see if this is the case?"

When Li Longji spoke, he looked at the people watching the fun around him. Everyone he saw nodded. Logically speaking, this should be true, and the contract was clearly written.

At this time, Gao Lishi appeared, looked at the contract, and then looked at everyone, sighed and said, "It means that the law of our dynasty is not sound. It seems that we are doing things according to the contract, but in fact, everyone understands the real situation. Today, when we meet as ministers, we must endure it. Unless we should use the official identity and power that we should not use, we must follow the contract, no?"

As soon as Gao Lishi said, the reception room became quiet.

Everyone was thinking, and after a while, Yu Wenrong said: "That is, if it were the people, according to the current situation, there must be constant disputes. Even the officials of the local yamen cannot clarify it. It is not mentioned in the law. Therefore, we should not be watching how much the fish tank in front of us costs, but how to further improve the law of our dynasty.

From the perspective of the contract, it is obviously unfavorable to the purchaser, but it provides great benefits to the seller. The buyer and seller are not fair at all. Such contracts should have a supplementary law to correct. When one party makes a profit in the contract between the two parties is not the same as the real transaction represented by the two parties when the contract is signed, then one should be invalidated, and the other should be punished to the party in the contract who violates the real intention of the transaction, otherwise I will be in chaos."

Everyone thought deeply again and thought, it was really the case. When the two parties traded, the purpose was to achieve their respective interests. This was the intention stipulated by both parties when the contract was signed. The purpose of the contract was to achieve and execute, complete, and satisfy this intention.

But later, one party got the real intention of the contract that violated the previous signing and obtained additional benefits through the means of contract, then let's play with the contract. The most important thing is that the contract also needs to be maintained by the law. If a lot of content is written in it, it may not be recognized and supported by the Tang Dynasty's laws.

Su Yi, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I know. When I go back, I will immediately recruit people to improve our dynasty's laws and fill in every possible loophole. But... Your Majesty, you also know that no matter how you repair it, someone will find the loopholes, such as... Xiaobao."

Everyone nodded. It was true. There were only those who were thieves for thousands of days, and there were no ones who were guarding them for thousands of days. The attackers were always easier than those who were guarding them. If they were guarding for a long time, they would lose their mistakes.

Especially for people like Xiaobao, as long as he is willing, he can take advantage of one loophole after another and be unpredictable.

"Really change? Why didn't you mention it before?" Li Longji asked with a serious look on his face.

The ministers bowed their heads, why didn’t they mention it before? They were not thinking that they could gain more benefits at home, and that they had a high status and were not worried about being deceived.

"I only know the deepest feelings after love, but only know the strongest wine after being drunk." Zhang Zhong said, this was what his daughter-in-law, who had not passed away, said it was a copy of the words he copied from someone else.

"And I can give an example, for example, if you buy a house, the house has not been built yet, because the place there is good, you can sell it first and then ask someone to pay the deposit. The merchant who lacks funds will use this deposit or full payment to buy materials for construction. After the construction is completed, the price will suddenly increase as if you buy a fish tank today.

Even if you work hard to get the money back in the end, you will lose the interest in the money house. What makes you even more angry is that you have not bought your house, and you have used a lot of your mind and got nothing. People with a smaller aura will piss themselves to death. Therefore, I do not allow such things to happen."

Li Longji followed and said that he also heard the example given by Zhang Xiaobao, because the house is expensive, it can best illustrate the problem.

Yuan Gan Yao frowned at Zhang Zhong: "Brother Yongcheng, we are taught. Today's situation is my Majesty and you. We usually have high benefits, not to be short of money. But when the price of the fish tank changes, we are still very angry. We don't care about the amount of money, and we can't stand being deceived.

I am like this, let alone others? When I change it, I borrow money from writing documents and buy one hundred and sixty cents a set, I buy three sets, put one in my office, one at home, and one for those who need warnings. Whenever I see the ornamental fish swimming in the fish tank, I will encourage myself."

"I'll borrow money, too." Yuwen Rong said.

"borrow."

“Signed.”

The ministers wrote the loan notes one by one.

Li Longji looked at it, smiled, and said, "I feel so relieved. With all the ministers here, the Tang Dynasty will be free of worries."

"Okay, I'll give you all the adults a fish of ten taels each." One of the non-officials shouted.

The others immediately shouted, "This one wants to give some water plants and that one gives a few stones, and they all don't give them a bag."

They felt that today was so happy. They had seen so many things, and the scene in front of them made people feel more comfortable. The emperor and officials of the court were sincere in serving the people, not arrogant and ignored everything.

If the officials above are good, they are not afraid of the officials below being lip service. I believe that if any officials dare to make a random judgment, the people above will deal with the officials below.

Zhang Zhong didn't expect that he could earn an extra interest. He was embarrassed for a moment. He smiled at every colleague who came to write a document and said that there were other rewards. After all, there was a gift, and it seemed that he had to reconsider what to give.

It didn't take long for me to pay the money, and the fish tanks were carried away one by one, and other supporting items were sent to them. Li Longji said a few more words to the others and took the ministers away. There was a sound of shouting long live behind him, which made passers-by look at each other.

After inquiring, I found out what happened today at the fish tank sales place. In just a few days, this incident spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. For a while, firecrackers were heard, and local officials were under great pressure.

*******

"If this is not the case, they will continue to fool them." Li Longji returned to the palace and said to Gao Lishi while tasting tea.

Gao Lishi himself ate melon seeds and echoed: "If there weren't so many people around, they would probably not be so happy even if they were deceived. After all, the more loopholes in the law, the more benefits they get when they encounter problems with their official positions."

"Fortunately, they are very smart. If they don't express their opinions today, I will find a way to remove them all. Lishi, what's the scenery in Yizhou now? I miss Xiaobei and the others a little." Li Longji said the matter, and suddenly the topic changed.
