Chapter Eighty-Three: The Opening of the City

The gates were finally opened.

A small city like Meishan can hold out for seven days, and Su You is estimated to have reached the limit. The state capital's approach is simply to boil itself up to half death first.

If there are really rebels coming, I'm afraid that a wave of charges will not be able to withstand it.

This incident made Su You laugh, and it can be summed up in four words, inexplicable.

Listening to the wind is the rain, overreacting, patting the head to make a decision, and mishandling it...... By the way, there must be a lot of controversy in the city - it is simply a miniature copy of the governance model of the Great Song Dynasty.

Forget it, anyway, he is the beneficiary, and Su You is too lazy to care.

As soon as the city gate opened, a fat and tall figure ran out on a donkey, and when he came to the land temple, he shouted: "Mingrun, Mingrun, you are okay...... What's going on with me going? ”

The person who came was Su Shi, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the two big bamboo houses: "This is what you built?" ”

In a blink of an eye, he saw the native soldiers resting in the forest, and he was so frightened that he rolled off the saddle: "There is an ambush!" ”

Su You rolled his eyes: "Ambush you!" That's the Erlin Department of the southern side of Yazhou under the command of General Quinoa, and the city is okay? ”

Su Shi said: "Don't rush into the city first, it's about to stink to death, say that you should be vegetarian tonight!" Bean curd rice is the best! The city ran out of vegetables three days ago. ”

Su You said: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, I'll go to the city to greet my sister-in-law and sister-in-law, and you let my little sister arrange the bean curd rice." ”

At this time, Ah Homi came out of the land temple and looked curiously at this tall and fat scholar with a high forehead.

After Su You introduced the two of them, he offered his hand to Mr. Fan and Ah Homi: "Mr. Fan, sister, I need to go to the city to greet the elders, and by the way, inquire about the situation, Shi Da, use a mule cart to pull up the grain and send it to the Cheng family's grocery store." ”

Su Shi said: "If you really know that things are like gods, how do you know that there is a shortage of food in the city?" ”

Su You said: "Closed door for seven days, the daily consumption of more than 5,000 catties, this is a mathematical problem, you don't need to think deeply to know." ”

After speaking, he patted his stomach and smiled: "Hehe, in fact, the main thing is to see that you have lost weight." ”

Su Shi glanced at Ah Homi, and cheekily said good things to the state capital: "The officials are also responsible for defending the territory, and it just so happens that there are foreign soldiers outside the city, which is even more appropriate." Okay, I won't go back, the current city, it's not as good as your land temple! ”

……

In Meishan City, there is really a faint smell, but fortunately, the street has returned to normal, and many people are opening the door to clean, ready to return to their previous lives.

Two large truckloads of grain arrived at the Chengjia grocery store, and the voices of the crowd surrounding the grain purchase suddenly became quieter.

The shopkeeper's voice was revealed: "Now that the city gate has been opened, the food will be transferred in a few days, so don't worry, just buy it for a day or two, and it will be easy to do it...... Ouch, the little master is here? ”

Su You jumped out of the car and said to the surroundings: "Fang Market is about to reopen, don't be in a hurry, the matter of thieves is purely a rumor." ”

"Rest assured, everybody. Soon the grain from the outskirts of the city will be brought in, and our two truckloads are just pioneers. Shopkeeper, you unload the goods first, and I'll go to see my uncle. ”

When I entered Cheng's house, I saw Cheng Wenying, Shi Dongxiu, Shi Tong, and Mrs. Cheng all there, and there were two officials sitting next to them.

One is a green-robed county magistrate, Su You already knew him when he bought the official wine shop, and the other is square-looking, wearing a vermilion curved collar and large-sleeved robe, with a horizontal hem at the bottom, a leather belt around the waist, a hood on his head, and leather shoes on his feet. Just look at the color of the clothes and know that it is Zhizhou.

Cheng Wenying beckoned: "Xiaoyou come here, I've seen Taishou, long history." ”

Su You hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then said, "The kid has seen Taishou, Xian Ling." By the way, outside the city, General Quinoa has been living in the Land Temple for seven days, so I will watch you......"

Zhizhou obviously didn't have a good face for the barbarians, and flicked the sleeves of his robe: "It's not that the barbarians are close to the city, and this matter won't get to such a point!" ”

Okay, you are really unreasonable, Su You secretly slandered himself, and said with a smile: "This matter is definitely not a bad thing, the Second Forest Department is here to hope to purchase many products from Meishan, among which salt and tea need to be studied by the state and county, and its benefits are not small." ”

Zhizhou frowned and said, "Isn't this matter about Fu Shunjian?" What does it have to do with my Meishan? ”

Cheng Wenying understood as soon as he heard it: "Taishou, now is an eventful time, hurry up and send them away." If you really want to let them go to Fushun Prison, not to mention the disturbance along the way, in case it is colluded with the barbarian traffic along the way, the court will investigate it, and the provocative Li'er said that it was put down from my Jiamei, and I am afraid that it will have something to do with Taishou. ”

Zhizhou nodded slightly: "Cheng Lao, this time I came here to discuss the matter of calming the state and county, but I didn't expect there to be such twists and turns." ”

Su You began to roll his eyes secretly again, hey! They have been waiting outside the city for seven days! What kind of attitude do you have!

hurriedly smiled: "Actually, after getting along with them, the kid thinks that the barbarian nature is quite straightforward." This time, 600 salt and tea were each, and the rest were ready to buy books, ironware, weaving and dyeing, and porcelain. It just so happens that all the proprietors are there, so you can decide it in a word. ”

Zhizhou frowned again: "The imperial court is all about the barbarians, and the price is high, which is not good for my Meizhou......"

Shi Dongxiu said: "Taishou, and listen to what Mingrun has to say." ”

Su You said: "Su You has been outside the city for seven days, and has understood the meaning of the Erlin Department, and this time Yazhou Rongchang has changed the way of bartering for some reason, following the story of the Western Army, and introducing the banknote system. ”

In this way, Jiang Qing's four families can take over this part of the salt banknotes, go to Fushun to supervise the salt, and send it away with their own goods first. This is a penny. ”

"The government does not need to follow the example of the merchant to change the goods in person, but only needs to collect two taxes according to the value of the goods, which not only facilitates the operation, but also reduces the loss of the officials, and does not lose decency. This is two pennies. ”

"The matter is up to Jiang Qing to come forward, even if there is a difference, the two sides can also apply to the government, and the Taishou Changshi will decide. The adults not only cleared up the relationship, but also maintained the authority. This is three pennies. ”

"This matter is in the inland states, and there are many tax cards, and it is categorically difficult to do. But Meishan to the south, after Yazhou is abroad, the barbarians will be happy to obey, this is the unique geographical advantage of Meizhou. ”

"Since the money has been issued in Yazhou, why don't we push the boat down the river? Recruit businessmen, sit on the ground to operate, down a few times, adults to treat eyebrows, and make remarkable achievements without much effort. These are four pennies. ”

"Fan Wenzhenggong guarded Shaanxi back then, opened the field with military expenses, and earned as much as 400,000 yuan a year, so there was no need to disturb the imperial court, and the military food was enough."

"Now that Taishou is doing this, there is a story to follow. And if there is slander, Yazhou will accept it, and it will be beneficial and Meizhou will monopolize it, why not? It seems that this should be five pennies. ”

Zhizhou's eyebrows jumped twice, and he seemed to be a little moved, plus the warehouse dock, there are too many things that can be operated here.

Su You said: "Taishou doesn't need to do anything, just say some comfort and show the favor of the Second Forest Department." The rest of the affairs are handled by our Jiang Qing family, and we will lure them with good products. Far away people are pleased, and the prosperity can be expected, and the reputation of Taishou will be spread in the southwest and survive for a hundred generations. ”

Zhizhou nodded, and then looked at Cheng Wenying and Shi Dongxiu: "What do the two elders think?" ”

Cheng Wenying said with a smile: "Whether it's as fanciful as Xiaoyou said, this is always an opportunity." ”

"The one behind me doesn't dare to say much, but there is only one incident in front of me: when rumors arise in various places, the Duda people open the door and accept it, persuade each other with good words, and make the people know the grace and return, which can already be regarded as a first-class merit."

Zhizhou finally laughed, what does it mean that bad things become good things? It's all about one mouth. Si Chenggong really deserves to open a bookstore! So he said: "Even so, this official can't live up to his father's intentions, so he went to the Land Temple to meet the general in Quinoa." ”

After sending away Zhizhou and the poor Zhixian who had been left to hang aside for a long time, I saw two old and one middle school and one small four foxes laughing tacitly.

Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but angrily name one by one: "Father, Shi Lao, Xiao Shi, Xiao You, a bit of a gentry temperament, okay?" ”

Su You said with a smile: "This time the profits are not huge, the salt money brought by the Second Forest Department is not much, it is more than 2,000 guan, half of the salt tea, the benefits go to the government, and there are only about 1,000 guan left." ”

"But this is secondary, the important thing is that this business road is considered to have come to Meizhou, and the in-law and Shibo have just cooperated so much, so they should have thought of this."

Cheng Wenying said with a smile: "Old Shi, hurry up and repair Yazhou, ask what's going on over there, I'll write a letter to Jiazhou, and I will ask the Chengdu Mansion and the Transshipment Department to see how this wind blows." ”

Shi Dongxiu said: "Xiao Shi also asked through the relationship of your Shi family, Tianyu did not take it, but suffered from it......
