Chapter 1087 Interview

Xu Zhongzheng, the head of the meat shop in Kaifeng Mansion, Liu Zuo, the supervisor of the upper realm, Yao Zixuequ, and the old shopkeeper of the Xue family in Bianjing City were also interviewed.

Xu Zhongzheng was one of the leading merchants who requested the implementation of the exemption of money, and it was because of him that Wang Anshi decided to implement the "Exemption Law" and change government requisition to government procurement.

Although there were huge drawbacks in this measure in the early stage, after being improved by the suggestions of Suyou's public bidding and publicity, the exemption law was relatively perfectly implemented in Bianjing that year.

Xu Zhongzheng talked about the past in an interview: "Back then, the industry was forced to be forced by the government's pedestrians to lose and lose the law, so I had the courage to apply to Wang Xianggong for the method of 'paying money and exempting the line'." ”

"It's also our official's generosity and benevolence, yes!"

"After paying the money and exempting the bank, we only need to pay the tax when we buy pigs and sheep from Sanji Sifu, and the days in the industry will be relaxed."

"This administration, I think it's actually better to change the soup and not the medicine, but to promote this good government from the Kaifeng Prefecture to the important commercial ports and trade routes."

"The old man is a meat shop, in the past, the meat in Beijing, mostly mutton, and later more fat pigs, hehehe, last month the old man ordered a batch of canned beef from Shaanxi, and also ordered a boatload of big stone head mackerel from Liangzhejiang."

"The price is 30% cheaper than a year ago! Let's let the people of Bianjing City eat affordable canned beef and high-quality seafood! ”

Liu Zuonai, the supervisor of the upper realm, was a conscientious businessman who would rather lose his own family than exploit the people when the city law was just implemented.

In that year, he lost 180,000 yuan in the city, and there was no way, so he begged his family to enter the house on a daily basis, and it was limited to two years.

When he was interviewed, Liu Zuo couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"At that time, my colleagues in Mengjing China Commercial Bank recommended that the old man be the supervisor of the upper boundary of the Yi Division of Kaifeng Prefecture."

"What is the Overseer doing? I'm afraid you young people don't know. ”

"At that time, the City Yi Division divided Kaifeng Mansion into two worlds, and the old man was responsible for collecting the interest money of the merchants in the upper world!"

"Originally, according to reason, this number should be a fixed number, and in the entire Kaifeng Mansion City, there are so many large and small merchants, right?"

"As a result, Shangguan was not satisfied, saying that the number was too small to show the benefits of the new law, and that he would need to increase the money."

"How do you add money? Lending, big lending! Even if you are not a businessman, you can lend! ”

"I don't want to get it back or not, as long as the numbers on the books of the City are good. How can you do that? ”

"We businessmen all understand that we must first keep this for profit, right? Even the Emperor Song Bank didn't dare to do it, they had the guts! ”

"I heard that the principal of the city's easy money is still given by the official, if you want me to say, those people just don't treat the official's money as money!"

"The old man can't help it, they are all neighborhood partners for many years, and he really can't do this, so he admits a loss of 180,000 yuan, and he was taken off an errand."

"Don't think that doing errands is a bad thing, that can save the old man from bankruptcy, sell some shops, and pay for it."

"But the principal of the official family is miserable; Those who come from extremely poor families, take the risk of borrowing money to get by, and covet a moment of relaxation, are miserable; There are also prodigal children in the family, who are also miserable. ”

"Two years, just two years, the official family has lost hundreds of thousands of yuan, not to mention the miserable situation of the small and medium-sized businessmen in Beijing...... Tut-tut......"

"The official family is benevolent...... The deficit of hundreds of thousands of yuan has also been recognized, and the number of people in Bianjing City who have been able to live because of this is at least nearly a thousand! ”

"This time, the new deal is different, this time is right, the dynasty is good at meeting scholars, and it will not be good at letting them embezzle the treasury, right? No dynasty or generation can turn this over the truth, right? ”

"Look at the results again, as soon as this trade route is smooth, look at the people running on this road and pulling in the water...... We are old people from the Xining period, and now this is called the New Deal! It's called refresh! What did Wang Xianggong boast about before...... 'The people do not give more and the country uses enough'! ”

Yao Zixuequ, is a local tyrant Yao Junyu in Yibin County, brewed with local spring water and five kinds of grains - corn, rice, sorghum, glutinous rice, buckwheat, the wine quality is very beautiful, sent to Bianjing City, because Huang Tingjian a poem, made a name.

"Clear but not thin, thick but not turbid. Willing but not stinging, bitter but not stinging. ”

In fact, this wine is also a popular product of Meizhou's new brewing process, mainly because Su Mi thought it was too troublesome to pull Yongchun dew from Meishan, so he found a place in Yibin and cooperated with local wineries to make it with Meishan's koji and brewing methods.

However, because Yibin is blessed, the wine brewed by Anle Spring is better than Yongchun Dew, which makes Su Mi very happy and sends a boat to all good friends in Beijing.

That's right, the unit is a ship! Su Misu, General Su Niangzi, is still as atmospheric as ever!

As a result, this boatload of wine was very sought after in Beijing, and Su Mi simply sent another boat and asked the shopkeeper of the Yao family to deliver it personally.

The shopkeeper of the Yao family told the reporters about the trip: "This is wine! In the past, it was specialized! The sake makers are all official liquor shops, and the liquor sellers are all scratched to death! ”

"What was the wine of the past called? Looking back now, that's called drowning! ”

"Why? It's not just that the government sells it, and the official is in charge of making wine, and he only cares about the quantity and the quality, and the quality can't go up. ”

"We were a little different in Shuzhong before, tea and wine were forbidden from time to time."

"Since the beginning of the fight against Zhang Gong and Shu, this system has changed, and the tea and wine of the four roads in the Sichuan Gorge have been banned for 20 years, and now what is the situation?"

"Our family's wine is made of Meizhou's snow koji, which is sweet and mellow, and the word 'Zhongrou' is emphasized."

"Twenty years ago, if this wine entered Beijing, it wouldn't be able to get down fifty pounds, think about it, from Yibin to Kaifeng, how big a bend would it be if you took the waterway? Then you have to go down to Yangzhou and turn to the Bianqu to transfer here, how many taxes are there on thousands of miles? ”

"Yang, Gao, Chu, Si, Su, Huai, Yingtian, Chenliu, Kaifeng. Above the Guangbian Canal, there are a full nine levels! ”

"Even if it's thirty taxes and one, after passing the nine levels, it's exactly thirty percent of the tax!"

"This is just the tax that is being collected on the surface, but in fact, because of this name, local officials have a reason to increase taxes."

"For example, in addition to the tariff, there is also an additional gate tax at the local level, which is equal to the tariff! Well, that's fun, close the door, close the door, close the door, everyone don't walk aisle! ”

"So Your Majesty is wise in the end! What is the New Deal called? It's called having one and saying one, saying one is one! A line of taxes to go through customs! Yao Zixuequ can be sold in Bianjing City! ”

The words of the old shopkeeper of the Xue family Bingxue in Bianjing City are very real: "The old neighbors of the Xue family know that even the nobles in the palace often send envoys to buy some. ”

"The Xue family's ice and snow, it was frozen with spring water in winter, and I don't feel at ease if I use other people's food."

"The people of the city are fun, their own ice is not allowed to be used, they have to use them, how dare I? If the nobles in the palace make any mistakes, will they be counted as the city's Yisi or my Xue family's? ”

"The old man has dozens of acres of land in Zhongmu, and there is a Zhuangzi, but he can't afford to wait, so he simply closes his business!"

"Over the years, I really can't stand the neighborhood, and there are thousands of mistakes, all of which are the fault of Xue Laohan."

"Now that the rules have changed, the old man dares to come back, and he still dares to pat his chest and tell the neighbors that the Xue family's ice and snow are still of the same quality as before, if it is not as good as before, you can come and smash the old man's signboard!"

"That's right, hehehe, now there is another snack in the ice and snow, called 'ice cream', which is different from fruit ice, soft, milky, and is made with the cream and South China Sea jam sent by Beiyuan, and the old customers take care of the business......"

Today's Su You and Xiao Xi are led by the horses, and one of them holds a small leaf box in his hand, and uses small wooden chips to cut Xue's new ice cream to eat.

Xiao Xi shook his head and exclaimed while eating: "Buttermilk is a specialty of our northland, but the taste of Bianjing is ...... The way of eating in the Great Song Dynasty is really exquisite! ”

Su You was a little disapproving: "This thing should obviously be called ice cream, this is stirred up, what is it called ice cream!" Go to the ice shop another day and tell them how to make real ice cream! ”
