Article 198 Ten penalties for one omission
Xu Daozhong always asked Jia Rui to introduce his experience, and Jia Rui had no choice but to accompany these people.
After staying in Dong'anmen, I arrived at the East Fourth Pailou Market.
It is also a very important location.
"Look at here, all the vendors are neat, they don't encroach on the streets, and the goods are neatly arranged."
"By the way, Wei Ruolan, look at the big fence and Chongwen Gate in your southern city, they are messy, what kind of system they have become. Also, the people in the tax collection department said that there are always people who climb the city wall to smuggle illicit wine, and you should also go and investigate. ”
"Yes, sir. I'll check it out when I go back. ”
Check, I'll check a bird, how to check?
Isn't it normal for the market to be crowded with people? Besides, smuggling illicit wine, what did the patrol camp do, and what did the city patrol chief do?
The city walls and gates, that's the business of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, can I take care of it? The tax collector tells you about it, and you take it seriously.
"By the way, Marchand, the city gate over there was originally not allowed to take the wine car, why do the wine cars still pass by you, go back and check carefully."
Marchand was also aggrieved.
Wine wagons pass through the city gates. Can you blame me? What do you do guarding the gates?
Not to mention that they can't find out, who can't smell the smell of wine as big as a wine car? It's clear that they took bribes and deliberately put them in, can you blame me?
The group came to a table, and the words on it attracted everyone's attention.
"Public platform."
Xu Daozhong read it out unconsciously.
"Tianxiang, what does this mean?"
Jia Rui looked at Ni Er, who was standing inside, and nodded.
"Mr. Ni, tell Master Xu about it."
"Yes, Lord Xu, commanders. This public platform is designed for fair trade. There are fair scales, fair rulers, fair buckets, fair liters, and so on. ”
"These weighing instruments were all bought by the Dongcheng Terracotta Division from the household department, and they were verified by the household department and branded."
"Customers who go to the market to buy things, if they suspect that the merchant is short of catties and shortages, they can bring the goods here for verification."
"If there is really a shortage of catties and two pounds, you can go back to the city to claim compensation."
Oh? It's a new one, but it's really interesting.
"Whose idea was this?"
"Naturally, it was the idea of our Commander Jia."
This time, Wei Ruolan and the others did not complain about Jia Rui in their hearts.
It's a really good idea, it's not hard to do just to buy a few scales. However, it can play a deterrent and supervisory role for those unscrupulous and illegal market households.
"How is the effect, has anyone come to verify it?"
"Naturally."
As he spoke, two customers were waiting in the back.
"Come, you check these two to see if it's enough."
One person bought a two-foot cloth, and Ni Er took a ruler and measured it.
"There's nothing wrong, don't worry."
"Thank you, gentlemen."
The customer left happily.
Another person bought rice, saying that it was twenty catties, and Ni Eryi said that it was eighteen catties, two catties less.
"Where did you buy it?"
"Cao's rice line."
"It's him again. Let's go, I'll take you to him. The adults are out of company, and I will take him to seek justice. ”
"Let's go over and have a look."
Xu Daozhong took everyone and followed.
Soon arrived at Cao's rice shop.
Ni Er put the rice bag on the counter.
"Shopkeeper Cao, do you know what's going on? Two pounds less. ”
"Ah, no, I'm sorry, it's wrong, it's wrong, I'll make it up."
"How much do you make?"
"Ten fines for one less, twenty fines for two catties missing. I admit punishment, I admit punishment. ”
Shopkeeper Cao saw so many big people coming, where did he dare to slack off? Hurriedly weighed twenty catties of rice.
The guy who bought the rice never expected to make money, and said all the good things.
"Thank you, sir."
The guy who bought the rice bowed vigorously at Ni Er.
"You thanked the wrong person, and if you want to thank you, you should also thank Lord Xu. We are all subordinates of Lord Xu, let me tell you, this is Lord Xu, the Imperial History of the City Patrol, and he asked us to do this. ”
"Thank you, Lord Xu, thank you, Lord Xu."
Xu Daozhong was stunned when he heard this.
I didn't tell you to do that.
However, the Dongcheng Terracotta Division is also my subordinate, and their credit seems to be my credit as well.
I told them to do a good job, and it seems right that I told them to do it.
This Ni Zongjia is good, he can speak, I remember you.
"You're welcome, in fact, you don't have to thank me, if you want to thank the emperor, the emperor asked me to do this city patrol history."
After Xu Daozhong finished speaking, he looked around.
At this time, it would be nice if there was a secret agent of the Jinyi Army here, and he would pass on my words to the emperor, and the emperor would be happy.
The person who bought the rice left with great gratitude, and Xu Daozhong looked around and found an abnormality.
"That rice shop seems to be doing good business, why is this business so cold?"
"I think it's because his family is always short of catties."
Marchand guessed.
"No, the shortage of catties and shortages is not written on the brain, where do customers know? Tianxiang, what's going on, do you know? ”
Jarry pointed to a dark plank on the door.
"Look at this, sir."
When everyone looked at it, they saw a few words on the black board: "There are two cities that are short of catties." ”
"This Cao family rice shop has been short of catties and two catties more than once, so he will be fined ten for missing one. Didn't he just want to hurt the customer, so we punished him severely to see how much he had enough to punish him. ”
So ruthless?
However, this kind of profiteer is really hateful, and he should be punished.
"Not bad, not bad. But why a black brand? ”
"Most people can't read, so they use black signs. After a long time, as soon as you see a black brand, customers will know that it is a profiteer, and the number of people who will be deceived will be greatly reduced. ”
"That rice store over there, it should have a good reputation."
"At present, there has been no shortage of catties and shoddy phenomena. This is a long-established brand that has had a good reputation for many years. ”
"In this case, should they be given a good card, such as a red card, or a trustworthy market household, to encourage them?"
"We thought about it before, but then we dismissed it."
"Oh? Why? ”
"Abiding by the law and operating in good faith is the way that businesses should be. No special commendation is required. ”
"Profiteers like Cao's rice shop are the focus of our supervision."
For a moment, everyone was silent.
After pondering for a while, Xu Daozhong spoke.
"You have heard, and you have seen with your own eyes what is happening today. I didn't expect to see something like this today. ”
"How do you feel at this moment?"
"I know, you may think that I am willing to favor Dongcheng, but think about it, what Dongcheng has done, have you done it?"
"If nothing else, let's talk about the public platform and this black card. It doesn't cost a lot of money to do this, as long as you put your mind to it, it's not difficult to do. ”
"Ask yourselves, are you paying attention?"
This time, the crowd really had nothing to say.
As Xu Daozhong said, these two things really don't cost a few dollars, and they are fully capable of doing it. But no one thinks of this, no one does these meticulous and solid things.
At this moment, they did feel that they were inferior to Jia Rui.
