Among the dynasties of ancient China, the Song Dynasty was a very peculiar existence.

First of all, its dynastic change was almost bloodless. Everyone added the yellow robe to Zhao Kuangyin's body as if they were joking, and the Great Song Dynasty was established.

Second, the armament was extremely lax, and the status of literati and doctors was unprecedentedly high. Song Taizu once "extorted the three precepts of the stone" and set up a family motto for future generations, one of which is: do not kill the scholar doctor, do not kill the person who writes and speaks. Therefore, throughout the history of the Song Dynasty, civil officials were killed very rarely.

Even a traitor like Cai Jing was only demoted to a commoner in the end. And even if he was as brave as Di Qing, he was invincible on the battlefield, and finally became a privy deputy envoy, but he was also "scared to death" by a group of sub-civil officials.

Third, the economy is exceptionally prosperous. According to less reliable accounts, the Song Dynasty's economy accounted for more than half of the world's total at that time, the largest in all dynasties. It is obviously impossible to have such a high income with traditional agriculture alone. In order to increase revenues, the Song Dynasty regime adopted a variety of methods to stimulate the development of industry and commerce. As a result, the city is no longer just a center of governance, but also an economic center. The commercial tax has reached an unprecedented level of more than 60% of the national treasury revenue, which is almost comparable to that of later generations.

In addition to the traditional means of reassuring the people and supporting the people, developing water transportation, and encouraging agriculture and mulberry, the policymakers of the Song Dynasty also mastered the principle of "demand pull" in economics (an upgraded version of Guan Zhong's "Extravagance") without a teacher, stimulating consumption and promoting the improvement of economic level.

From the intuitive feeling of "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" and the side depictions of countless literary works, we can find that the demand for goods in the Song Dynasty has grown by leaps and bounds compared with the previous dynasty in terms of both types and quantities: the teahouses and restaurants in Bianliang, Tokyo, and the green buildings in the pear garden have sprung up; The consumption of relatively luxurious products such as silk, tea, books, and paper has strong potential. What's more, the public's attention to leisure, culture and entertainment has also increased unprecedentedly, and the "service industry" in the modern sense can be said to have been exerted to the extreme in the Song Dynasty.

Of course, the foreign trade of the Song Dynasty was also impressive, and ****** became the economic pillar of the Southern Song Dynasty for a time.

When the people are rich, they consume more. The more consumption there is, the more taxes that producers and sellers have to pay. In the end, the emperor of the Song Dynasty saw that since I had so much silver (the treasury earns 100 million yuan a year), then I could make it vigorously!

Officials are paid too low? Rose! Go up! Not to mention that the people of the old Zhao family are all good people, it is really not comparable to the old Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty who buckled the rope.

Wages are like age, it's easy to go up, but it's hard to come down. A large group of nobles, yin supplements, clan relatives and officials who enter the system every year work together to empty the old Zhao family's family funds. The emperor can't see that this is not good, you can't eat and drink, I can't even drink a mouthful of mutton soup, this emperor can't be the emperor!

Whoever is that, find a way to get me some more money!

If you want to say that the ancients were smart, and they didn't have any tricks, they learned from the more ancient ancients. The Han Dynasty Sang Hongyang made a salt and iron**, we also salted and iron**, and also pioneered a "wine koji**". As a result, in the fifth year of Chunhua, Song Taizong "edicted the world to drink", and in the fourth year of Jingde, Song Zhenzong "ordered the division to establish the law of the dragon as a permanent style".

There are three ways to do this. First, it is a complete official monopoly, from the production of koji to brewing to sales. As a result, various drawbacks of state-owned enterprises that were well known to later generations appeared, cutting corners, shoddy, corrupting, and forcibly suppressing allocation. Eventually, it went bankrupt.

The second is the buying system. It includes three categories: urban liquor business, wine koji field business, and wine workshop contracting in areas below the county level. The state has contracted large, medium, and small state-owned enterprises that cannot make a profit or make a meager profit to individuals, which not only reduces the burden, but also increases the income. Look familiar!

The third is the franchise system. It is divided into two categories, one is the liquor that sells liquor with official koji, known as the "main store", and there are 72 main stores in Bianliang, Tokyo. The other type is the shops who pay a certain tax to the government and obtain the right to brew, they are widely distributed in the areas where the official liquor is sold, a bit like the authorized brand manufacturers in later generations.

The Shuangquan Hotel they were going to was actually a small liquor producer of the second category, and the so-called "main store" was just a gimmick.

When Yan Juhou and his party came to Shuangquan Zhengdian, Fang Zhongyong was talking.

Seeing that Yan Rongyue really came, Fang Zhongyong didn't remember to brag about his erudition, and hurriedly urged the store to serve wine and food-no matter when, it would never be wrong to serve the good mother's family.

Although Shuangquan liquor is a small local brand, the quality is still good, and it will probably be rated as "how many famous liquors" in later generations. According to the chattering Xiao Er, the Shuangquan liquor in our store is brewed with pure grains and steamed three times, which is not comparable to ordinary farmer's mixed wine.

At that time, the technology of distilling spirits was already widely used by large and medium-sized brewers, and their alcohol content was about 30 proof. Therefore, don't think that the ancients drank low-alcohol rice wine and rice wine. Otherwise, Jingyanggang Hotel would not dare to play the signboard of "three bowls are not post". Take two bottles of beer to test the amount of alcohol of the heroes of Liangshan, is it a bit contemptuous? Although Wu Song drank seventeen or eighteen bowls in one go, how could the amount of wine of heroes and heroes be comparable to that of us mortals?

Fang Zhongyong is not a hero, but after drinking more than ten glasses of Shuangquan wine in a row, his face is still not red and his heart is not beating. Zeng Ye and Yan Juhou, who thought they were heroes of the wine country, were shocked.

Yan Ju, who had only drunk five or six glasses and was high, said with a big tongue: "Brother, you can do it, this, this Shuangquan wine has been steamed twice." Ordinary people drink it little by little. You pour it, take a sip and a cup, it's like drinking tea! ”

Zeng Ye smiled and said: "This store is just a vain name, and when we have the opportunity, we will go to Bianliang, Tokyo to drink the Meishou wine of the Fan Building." Come, drink to win! ”

Anyone who has ever drunk alcohol knows that anyone who shouts "another bottle" at the end is a master who has drunk too much. Zeng Gong hurriedly poured a cup of warm tea for his eldest brother to relieve his hangover, Zeng Ye dried it up in one sip, and shouted: "Good wine!" ”

Yan Chengyu was also afraid that his brother would drink too much, so he poured a cup of tea in the same way. Yan Ju glared at him: "What about the deceitful ghost?" Pour the wine! ”

Yan Rongyue said angrily: "Brother! If you drink it again, it will hurt your body, but you don't dare to learn from other people's thousands of cups not to get drunk! As he spoke, he pouted at Fang Zhongyong.

Looking at the delicate red lips, Fang Zhongyong felt that his hormones were rapidly secreted to the peak.

Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, the wine is strong and intimidating, Fang Zhongyong said loudly: "The moonlight is very beautiful tonight, stay and chant the song "No Vulgar Thoughts" to help the wine."

The summer tour is vast, and it is the season of summer lotus every year and season. The white brocade is fragrant without lines, and the jade trees are piled up with snow. The silent night is heavy, the floating light is hazy, and the cold soaking dissolves the moon. In the heavens on earth, the rotten silver glow shines through.

It looks like a real person, the sky is beautiful, and the spirit is comfortable and clean. Wanhua is uneven, who believes, and is not in the same column as Qunfang. Haoqi Qingying, immortal Zhuo Zhuo, it is difficult to distinguish between the soil. Yaotai returned, and the cave was clear. ”

A few people looked at each other, did you drink too much? Where did the "moonlight come from" on the first day of the lunar calendar? also shamelessly embedded the name of other girls into the poems, is it really easy to provoke Yan Juhou?

Don't say it, Yan Juhou was really not angry, he just laughed and said: "Good words, good words!" The description of the coldness of the moonlight is divided into three points, and the words of the father's 'melting moon' are embedded in the words fittingly, which is very ingenious! ”

A few people looked sideways again, is it really good to open their eyes and talk nonsense like this? Is this a boast of the moon? This is obviously complimenting!

Yan Rongyue's face, which was flushed from drinking a little wine, seemed to be even redder. She understood the meaning of the "lotus season", even though the lotus flowers were red at that time, and her face was the same. Thinking about it afterwards, I still think that the scoundrel made up nonsense, and he has to say that the lotus flower like fire is a pile of snow, what a scoundrel!

The so-called "if you don't get drunk with wine, everyone gets drunk", looking at the delicate beauty, Fang Zhongyong felt that if he couldn't marry her in this life, he would be in vain! As for the hardships considered before, Fang Zhongyong said that it is not a problem!

After Yan Juhou washed and changed his clothes (went to the toilet), the alcohol subsided a lot, and he said in a rare and serious manner: "The meaning of the virtuous brother is already known for the brother." The virtuous brother is bright and upright, and he is full of wealth. When you come to Japan to roll call outside the Donghua Gate, there will be a place for virtuous brothers. My Yan family comes from a humble background, and I have no opinions, and my father is also a broad person.

However, her sister once joked that the Lang Jun she married must be a hero of the world. Brother Wangxian worked hard and met his father in the court. He braved the wind and waves every day and made immortal feats to comfort his sister's life's wishes. Brother Wangxian is forgiving! "Say it, take a deep bow.

Fang Zhongyong was angry, somewhat annoyed by the snobbery of the Yan family.

Isn't it possible to be as chic as Yan and Uncle Tong? Do you have to marry based on status? But when you think about it, you can actually understand it.

What girl doesn't have a heroic dream? Who doesn't want their Lang Jun to marry him in a beautiful scenery with colorful clouds?

Even if Yan Shu, who is discerning and discerning, has selected many talents for the country, does he have a trace of utilitarianism?

It is true that it is not your original intention to seek fame, but you still need those ladders to realize your ideals. In that case, why should we pretentiously force others to treat themselves with a pure heart?

Despite a trace of regret, Fang Zhongyong still replied sincerely: "I am by no means a prodigal son in the world, and all the poems and clouds are felt from the inside and sent from the outside. Brother Demao's heartfelt words, the younger brother is deeply moved. Even if there is disharmony, there will be no resentment in this life. I will always regard Brother Demao as a brother, and I have no regrets! ”

Yan Juhou sighed and said: "Wenyuan is sincere, and the foolish brother must do his best to promote it!" No matter what the reputation of the virtuous brother will be in the future, I can be regarded as recognizing this younger brother! ”

It is said that fools have foolish blessings. A few years later, when Yan Juhou boasted to others, he was still saying: "Back then, the King of Wei had to recognize me as his brother, and I didn't have to pay attention to him!" If it weren't for the princess of the East, that is, my unsuccessful sister, who would know how old he was? ”

"Sayings" Yunjiu is also, so it is about the good and evil of human nature. One is also made. It is also made by good luck and evil.

Kong Rong famously said, "The seats are always full, and the wine in the bottle is not empty."

"The World Says" contains, wine is a gift.

Fang Zhongyong said that it is all nonsense, wine is bold and courageous, and wine is the medium of color. If you don't have the courage to drink, I don't know which guy is cheaper to melt the moon?
