"Uncle, are we still going to eat in those restaurants today?"

After two or three days, I went to the restaurant every day, and even children didn't have much interest.

Zhang Yuan visited all the restaurants in Du County two days ago, and he also wanted to see if the food was delicious.

If the dishes are delicious and delicious, it means that the store wants to really make it, and if it is similar to pig food, it is estimated that it wants to make a wave of quick money.

"No, let's go check out the inns today."

As soon as Zhang Yuan said this, Sima Qian's interest still didn't mention it, what is the difference between these inns and those restaurants.

Yan Yi on the side didn't say anything, and now Yan Yi is eighteen years old, and he has calmed down a lot over the years.

Sima Qian is the same as a hundred thousand whys, but it is probably his great curiosity that made him write this historian's swan song.

Leading the two young men, Zhang Yuan walked slowly to an inn less than a hundred meters from the north city gate.

If you want to say that the inn with the best location in the whole Du County is there, others may say that there are a few around Taixue, but Zhang Yuan thinks it is this one.

To put it bluntly, Du County is a satellite city of Chang'an, and now Shanglin Yuan has not yet opened on the surface, and people in Du County can only detour from Chang'an City if they go to other cities.

For example, if you go to Lantian County, you may be closest to the South City Gate, but what should you do if you meet the army on the way to Lantian County directly from the south?

It's not easy to be treated as a savage and killed directly by those people.

The farmland around Du County can be guaranteed to be absolutely safe, and the safest is the road leading from Du County to Chang'an City.

It can be said that people from outside want to come to Du County, or people from Du County want to go out, they must go out from the north city gate, of course, if someone is willing to come out of the south city gate and then circle around the city wall, Zhang Yuan has no choice.

This road becomes the main thoroughfare, and the flow of people passing by this inn will increase considerably.

For those who want to be able to get out of the city early in the morning, staying here will save a lot of time.

The excellent geographical location makes this inn, no matter whether it is the enrollment period of Taixue in the future, or other major events in Du County, the business here will not be bad.

So Zhang Yuan thought about coming to this house directly, if the owner of this family wanted to make a wave of quick money and then close the inn, then Zhang Yuan's idea of invigorating the economy of Du County would be difficult to implement.

"There are still a lot of people."

Sima Qian probed his brain, looked at it, and then said directly.

"Taixue has not yet released the list, so many students are waiting in Du County, and all the inns are basically overcrowded."

Yan Yi explained on the side, but Sima Qian didn't appreciate it, thinking in his heart that he didn't know, he just sighed.

There are no high-rise buildings in Du County, except for Tianlu Pavilion, the others are all one floor, but there are high and low.

The front hall of Taixue is very high, that is because the foundation is high, and the roof is also very high, but in fact, it is also a floor.

These restaurants in Du County, that is Zhang Yuan's name, are actually not buildings, they are also one-story houses.

All the inns and restaurants in Du County are like this, some people divide the houses are big, so they clean up the places where they don't live, and then open to welcome guests in a very decent way.

No one minds these things these days, and it's enough to be able to provide convenience for people.

"Where is the shopkeeper?"

Zhang Yuan saw that the courtyard was full of people eating, and there was no one to greet him, so he raised his voice.

After a while, a half-sized boy came.

"This nobleman, if you use food, we have no place here, and there is no vacancy in the hotel."

Zhang Yuan looked at this serious child and smiled.

This is the most traditional family workshop, no one has the consciousness to invite a junior or something, and a few people in the family will all come up to help.

If there is no one, then one person will be the boss, one person will be the cook, and the other will be the second child.

"Where is your lord, I have something I want to ask him."

The adults here are talking about the father, not the elders, which is also one of the titles of the father.

"Oh, he's cooking."

The child was not guarded, and led Zhang Yuan to the place where he cooked.

Sima Qian and Yan Yi both knew that Zhang Yuan did a good job of cooking, and they didn't shy away from these things, so they went to cook together.

If it were other officials, they would definitely not go to such a lowly place like Zhang Yuan.

The child led Zhang Yuan and the others into the kitchen, which naturally attracted the attention of others.

The cook, who was stir-frying in an iron pot, couldn't help but tremble when he saw three strangers come in.

"You're the owner of this shop, aren't you?"

Zhang Yuan asked with a smile.

The cook hurriedly put the iron pot on the stove to the side, and nodded a little sneeringly.

He has also seen a lot of rich people these days, and those students must be much, much richer than these ordinary people in Du County.

But none of the candidates wore better clothes than Zhang Yuan, and some things could not even be used if they were not in one class.

Now that it is just spring, Zhang Yuan is still wearing a robe with many lines, and he did not deliberately wear some plain clothes.

"I'm here to ask if you plan to keep this store open forever or if you have any other plans."

The cook's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing not shrewdness, but confusion.

They still have land at home, and according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, if they do business, they have to deal with the land first.

But now the population of Du County is not large, and every family has land, who will collect your fields.

Those big families have money to collect, but no one grows it.

Everyone is a new resident of Du County, although those big families used to live in Du County, but after all, there was a gap in the middle.

It will also take a while for the landlords and gentry to plunder the resources of ordinary people, and there is basically no way to do it now.

What should I do if I take away the fertile land? These ordinary people just opened restaurants and inns, and no one in those big families went to farm, and the waste of fields was a waste.

So in fact, these inns and restaurants are all illegal, and the only one in Quandu County who has a way to solve this problem is Zhang Yuan.

But the cook didn't know that the person in front of him was Zhang Yuan, and subconsciously thought that it was someone from the government, and his business might not be able to go on in the future.

"This nobleman, are you from an official family?"

Zhang Yuan couldn't guess what others thought, and he didn't plan to hide his identity, otherwise it would be difficult to give these ordinary people the confidence to continue to open stores.

"I'm from an official family, do you still plan to open this store?"

The cook's face immediately changed, and he quickly knelt on the ground.

"This nobleman, we haven't made any money, if the government says that it can't be opened, I will close the store after the Taixue release list, do you think it's okay?

If you close the store now, there are still a lot of students living in it, and it's not a problem to kick them out, right? ”

This time, Zhang Yuan was stunned, and he didn't say that he wanted him to close the store, why did he react so much.

"You're a black shop?"

Zhang Yuan still remembers the black shop he encountered at the beginning, could it be that there are still people in this county who open a black shop?

Neither side knew what each other was thinking, and the misunderstanding continued.

"Your honor, I have violated the law, please let our family live."

The cook was about to cry, and he knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.

Yan Yi stepped forward at this time and said to Zhang Yuan.

"Teacher, we can't handle this matter well, let's tell the people from the Du County Government and let them handle it."

Yan Yi maintained his usual calmness and quickly thought of a way to deal with it.

Zhang Yuan didn't know how to continue, so he had to do what Yan Yi said.

Why did I ask about opening a store, and I found a black store.

It's not that Zhang Yuan didn't understand the situation of these stores clearly, but everyone hid it and didn't talk about it.

In fact, the inns and restaurants in Du County are in such a situation, because they involve their respective identities, and everyone knows this law.

If it were other laws, the people really didn't know.

Dahan is very entangled in everyone's identity, that is, Zhang Yuan has lived too many comfortable days over the years, and he forgot that his first goal was to change his identity.

Yan Yi went to the official mansion to call people, and after a while, Mei Gao led some county soldiers to come.

The main reason is that Zhang Yuanren is here, otherwise he would directly send troops to arrest people back.

"Too much of a school order."

Mei Gao bowed to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan nodded, and then found a place to sit down.

The county soldiers are here, this movement is not small, not to mention that people in other places know about it, at least the candidates in this inn know that something is going to happen.

When Mei Gao saluted Zhang Yuan, almost everyone saw it.

Zhang Yuan may be the biggest stone in the hearts of the students in the future, even if the heart is high, now that this status is placed here, Mei Gao, a nationally famous literati, is respectful, what qualifications do these students who have not even entered Taixue have to put up a fight with Zhang Yuan.

As a result, nearly twenty students around him also bowed to Zhang Yuan.

"The student meets Taixue Ling."

Seeing this momentum, the cook's face turned even whiter, and the cold sweat couldn't stop pouring down.

The hostess of the inn took her child and stood beside the cook, and she had already begun to sob, and they didn't know how to provoke the biggest person in Du County.

"You said that you opened this inn in violation of the law, which means that your store is a black shop.

What have you done to break that law? ”

Mei Gao didn't say anything to take people away, and directly began to interrogate them on the spot.

When the candidates on the side heard that this store was a black store, they were in an uproar.

"The price of this shop is not expensive, so it's still a black shop, could it be that there is a problem with what we eat?"

"Yes, it seems like that's the only possibility now."

"What to do? I've been eating all the stuff from this inn these days, what if I'm poisoned? ”

The chefs heard the words of the students, and no matter what Zhang Yuan or Mei Gao, he said loudly with courage.

"Although we violated the law, there is absolutely no problem with eating and drinking in the store."

Mei Gao didn't know what the situation was, there were so many candidates pouring into Du County during this time, he was already a little anxious, how could he notice these things.

"The price is fine, the food is fine, so how can you say that you are violating the law?

Have you ever done anything about being a traitor? ”

The cook quickly shook his head.

"No, no, how dare the villain."

"What about murder and arson?"

"I don't dare to do that either."

Everyone is confused, and sometimes the simplest problem is not clear.

The cook was also too nervous, after all, he had committed a crime, and the honest man didn't know how to explain it, so he was only worried about whether he would be killed.

Yes.

Some of the current laws are too simple and crude, or to put it another way, the people know only a few consequences of breaking the law, either being confiscated or beheaded.

Zhang Yuan still doesn't know what everyone thinks, if he knew, he would probably sigh at the importance of popularizing the law.

But now he is also involved, and the authorities are obsessed with bystanders.
