Xu Zilin rolled his eyes.

"You know the! Such a leek ...... Distinguished guest, to whom who does not lick? ”

The environment of the courtyard is better than the environment of the B-shaped elegant chamber that Zhu Di went to before, step by step, and the garden design was developed to the extreme by Xu Zilin.

"This courtyard is called the Immortal Water Pavilion, it took my master a year to design the beautiful courtyard, it is generally not used to entertain foreign guests, today is completely valued by the two, before willing to come to the Immortal Water Pavilion to gather."

Li Da completely inherited Xu Zilin's businessman's words, and coaxed Ji Gang very happy.

Zhu Di was also stunned by the scenery in front of him.

Even Yingtianfu is a relatively commercial city, not as paradise on earth as Penglai County, which has an extremely exquisite commercial design outside and a quaint garden with the spring color of the south of the Yangtze River inside.

"Xu County Order, what you are doing here is really good, but it has to cost a lot of people's fat and people's ointment."

Zhu Di, as a great tomorrow, will inevitably be a little unhappy whenever he sees someone who has pleasure.

Xu Zilin waved his hand, and the group chatted while walking.

"Then you're wrong."

Xu Zilin pointed to the small wooden bridge above the pond, "Do you see the wooden bridge over there?" There is an old man named Grandma Yang who lives alone in Dongshikou, and Li Da also ate the steamed buns she made when he was a child. The thatch she piled up before caught fire, and Li Da and I happened to be there, so we quickly called someone to help put out the fire, and Li Da also carried Grandma Yang out of the fire. ”

"Six years ago, when she heard that we were going to redesign the county government, she personally dragged a truckload of discarded wood and dilapidated furniture as a thank you. We processed these items, and the wooden bridge you see now is made of wood donated by Grandma Yang, and after it was made, we also invited Grandma Yang to come here for a walk. ”

Zhu Di was very surprised, "You went to put out the fire yourself?" ”

Xu Zilin was quite puzzled, "Yes, I passed by and saw a fire, did I stand without helping to extinguish the fire?" ”

Zhu Di and Ji Gang's faces changed a little now.

Not to mention those dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, even if they are ordinary county orders and government officials, how can anyone who is willing to help the people without compensation and selflessness and without fear of danger?

This Xu Zilin is really different.

The group walked through the garden and arrived at the hut at the end of the courtyard.

Although the area is not large, the decoration is fresh and simple.

The texture of the wooden floor is very novel, and the window grilles are made of bamboo, with a faint bamboo fragrance.

Ji Gang couldn't help but look at it for a while.

When everyone was seated, Xu Zilin's subordinate, a clerk, came over with a pen and paper.

"Lord Prefectural, this is the contract you wanted."

Zhu Di and the others have never seen this thing, and the general people of the Ming Dynasty buy and sell barter, all in the form of deeds, relying on mortgages or buying and selling, and they have never heard of a contract.

"Good. Two masters, this is the contract used by our Penglai County Exchange. Whether it is a house lease or a transaction of valuables, you must use a contract. The contract is to be made in triplicate, one for the buyer and the seller, and one for the government. The contract will only take effect if it is retained by the government. ”

This is the only way Xu Zilin can think of in the era when there was no electronics and cameras.

Zhu Di took the contract and carefully reviewed the contents.

"The quantity and unit price have been prepared by the next people, and I would like to remind you of the terms in the contract."

Xu Zilin said leisurely, "If you regret it within three days, the transaction can be cancelled, but you will have to deduct ...... percent It is one tenth of the transaction amount deducted. If I repent within three days, I will give you one out of ten. ”

Can I cancel a transaction? And compensation? What is this novelty provision?

"If my Flame Pony has a quality problem, such as a large number of deaths in a week, and the number of deaths exceeds 1 in 10, I will compensate you for the same price of silver taels. No compensation will be paid for more than one week. ”

"But if it is found that you have done it in bad faith, of course, I am only talking about this possibility, and I will not compensate you either. If you go around preaching that there is something wrong with my horse and that we have suffered unjustly wronged, then you will have to go through the yamen, and you will have to negotiate for my losses. ”

Zhu Di held the contract and listened to Xu Zilin's explanation, dumbfounded.

He had never heard of such a trading method.

Ji Gang was also a little confused, he looked at Xu Zilin, and then at Zhu Di.

"In my opinion, such a contract provision is not a bad thing."

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Di put down the contract and said, "Not only can it protect both buyers and sellers, but many details are also very reasonable." For example, many people are sold inferior goods by black-hearted merchants, and they can protect their rights and interests by relying on such contracts. ”

Xu Zilin nodded heavily, he couldn't imagine that among the ancients, there were such smart people who could understand a little.

He trained the entire Penglai County, and even Li Da, who is now the most agreeable, took at least a year and a half of effort.

Zhu Di buckled his five fingers on the contract and looked at Ji Gang.

"What do you think?"

Ji Gang was a little hesitant for a while, he was a rough man, he usually took the money, and his wife and mother were in charge of the accounts at home.

"Although I don't know much about these things, I also think that this is much more flexible than the mortgage deeds of silver horns and commercial banks."

Ji Gang was careful with his words, "My wife bought ten pieces of cotton cloth last month to make autumn clothes for the children. As a result, the color and style are not right, the wash is clean, and the next morning I take it back, and the store is not allowed to return. If we can follow the contract of Xu County's order, even if we deduct one out of ten, we can get back ninety percent, and we will not lose all of it. ”

Zhu Di nodded, he was also in favor of this kind of reform.

"Xu Xianling, you also came up with such a flexible trading contract?"

Zhu Di raised his head and looked at Xu Zilin.

Li Da took over, "Yes, it was our Xu County Commander who was slaughtered more than 30 taels when he was shopping on a street in Dongshi, and announced the reform as soon as he returned to the mansion." ”

Everyone laughed, the signature that should be signed, the fingerprint that should be pressed by the handprint, three contracts, Zhu Di kept one with him, Xu Zilin handed over one copy to Li Da for safekeeping, and the people from the county government came to take one away.

"With this contract, your subordinates can come to my ranch at any time to collect horses."

Xu Zilin harvested a lot of silver, and in the face of the two gods of wealth, he couldn't stop smiling, and hurriedly ordered Li Da to go down, beckoned people to serve food, and opened a banquet.

Ji Gang also hurt, what is not good for Your Majesty to buy, it cost hundreds of thousands of taels to buy a bunch of broken horses, can the prince's face look good when he goes back.

Ji Gang sighed and looked out the window, but was attracted by the bamboo carved window flowers.

Li Da noticed Ji Gang's gaze and said: "This window flower is made of bamboo, it is cool to the touch, even in the hot summer, it will not be very hot in the house, and the bamboo is also selected from the local specialty bamboo forest, which has a very fresh bamboo fragrance, saving a lot of spice money." ”
