Chapter 102: Mooncakes
If there is someone to govern, there will be order! If there is no governance, there is no order! How much can a place that doesn't even have order expect it to prosper?
After Lu Bu took office, he deeply understood the importance of developing business! Let Jia Xu be fully responsible for the business market! The order of the merchant market was re-established, and officials were appointed to govern it. For so many days, the order of the commercial market has stabilized. And Lu Bu was also contemplating the management of the commercial market.
The merchant market was established and the merchants were given security! It is also to break the monopoly of some businessmen! Those businessmen who dared to disobey Lu Bu's orders had already been raided by Lu Bu. If the monopoly of commerce is broken, many small businessmen will emerge, which will certainly be beneficial to the development of the state. But at the same time, we should also pay attention to one point, that is, in the feudal era, it was still based on agriculture! The prosperity of commerce will prompt many people to abandon their roots and abandon agriculture in pursuit of commercial profits. Therefore, in the feudal era, almost all dynasties were heavy on agriculture and suppressed commerce. Even if you don't suppress business, you must pay attention to agriculture! Agriculture is the foundation of development.
However, in troubled times, the development of agriculture will undoubtedly not work. It will only become fat in other people's mouths! Lu Bu wants to develop business and wants to promote the prosperity of the state! It is necessary to vigorously support business! Raise your merchant status! For this reason, the commercial market that Lu Bu has re-established now is absolutely extremely happy for merchants! But that doesn't mean businessmen can rejoice too soon......
For commercial taxes, Lu Bu will not give up such a good opportunity to make money.
Taxes are raised, but businessmen are safe! In Bingzhou, Lu Buke promised to ensure the safety of merchants' goods and people! Moreover, wherever a place is prosperous, business prosperity is inseparable from the prosperity and stability of the region! If a place is in constant turmoil and bandits, what merchant is there to do business?
After Lu Bu entered the annexed state, the order of the annexed state was orderly, and the bandits were peaceful, which was too safe and stable! In a war-free state, even if it is barren, merchants from all over the world will eventually come in a steady stream.
“…… After the independent public deterred those merchants, those merchants did not dare to act recklessly......"
"If you have time, you still have to discuss some matters with these merchants...... These businessmen were very appreciative of the commercial laws enacted by the lord......"
“……”
Jia Xu told Lu Bu about the current situation in the business market, and also recommended some advice to Lu Bu.
Commercial law is some of the policies on business formulated by Lu Bu after he entered the state and discussed with Jia Xu. The management of commerce in the Han Dynasty was still in a rudimentary form. Many merchants have made a lot of profits by exploiting the hollow hole of the Chinese law. To this end, Lu Bu specially revised the Commercial Law! It is a decree that stipulates that merchants should do business in the state! This includes a number of issues, such as the integrity of doing business, which will no longer be just a matter of ethics, but will have strict statutes. If the businessmen dare to do something shoddy and fake things, they will be punished by the law! In addition, the Commercial Law also stipulates that merchants are not allowed to hoard, and prices are not to be inflated.
In a word, in this annexed state, under the jurisdiction of Lu Bu, you must do business honestly!
Moreover, in view of the fact that the Hu people in Bingzhou are also the majority, many businessmen privately sell the items prohibited by the government to the Hu people for the sake of profit! These are extremely strict with Lu Bu's decrees! If such a thing is found, it will not be forgiven.
Lu Bu did not prohibit merchants from trading with the Hu people, but there were some things that merchants could not touch! Because to touch it is treason! For example, salt, iron, equipment, armor, and other things can only be traded by the government with the Hu people, and if a merchant dares to trade privately, he will be punished for treason!
Rich country with business! Consolidate the foundation with agriculture.
This is the policy that Lu Bu is practicing today! And the state is barren, and in order to make it rich, it is necessary to develop commerce. But among the brothers in troubled times, food is the most important! Therefore, it is necessary to consolidate the foundation with agriculture. For so many days, Lu Bu was already discussing with Li Ru and Jia Xu about Tuntian! Get the strategy of Tuntian as soon as possible, so that Lu Bu will have enough food and the foundation of the struggle for hegemony.
During the conversation, I don't know how quickly time passes.
When Jia Xu got up to say goodbye, the night had already hanged! The full moon in the sky is extremely bright. Lu Bu looked at the bright full moon and sighed in his heart!
Today, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival!
It's a pity that Yan's, Lingqi, and Cai Yan are not around! Lu Bu is the only one!
Graciously left Jia Xu, Lu Bu and Jia Xu admired the moon together! Under Jia Xu's surprised gaze, several cooks presented the delicacies made by Lu Bu.
"Wenhe, please taste this moon cake!"
Looking at Jia Xu's appearance, Lu Bu smiled lightly.
Others don't know Jia Xu, doesn't Lu Bu still know Jia Xu? To be honest, Jia Xuting will enjoy life! In later generations, it can be said that he is optimistic and eats the kind of fragrant food. It may also be this reason that Jia Xu will live so long.
Jia Xu picked up the round moon cake with one hand, took a bite of it, and his eyes suddenly widened, "Okay, wonderful ......"
Mooncakes, one of the traditional Chinese delicacies! It's just that moon cakes originated in the Tang Dynasty, and there were no moon cakes in the Han Dynasty. According to historical records, in the Yin Shang period, there was a "Taishi cake" in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to commemorate Taishi Wenzhong. That may be the "ancestor" of mooncakes! "It's just that the real origin of moon cakes is in the Tang Dynasty! After Lu Bu came to this world, he has gradually integrated into this world. But every festive season, especially a festival like the Mid-Autumn Festival, some memories always come to mind.
A dream for a thousand years!
Just as Yi Xiaochuan became Meng Yi in mythology, he can't go back, and Lu Bu can't go back. In the face of the bright moon that existed in ancient times, Lu Bu saw the scene and thought about it, so he made the delicacy of moon cakes in advance.
Taking a bite, Lu Bu drank a glass of turbid wine and looked at Jia Xu eating moon cakes, "Mid-Autumn Festival, enjoy the moon and eat cakes!" How fast! ”
After a while, Jia Xu swallowed three moon cakes. There are various kinds of moon cake fillings, such as walnut kernels, almonds, sesame seeds, red beans, date paste, etc. Seriously, the food of the Han Dynasty really benefited from Zhang Qian, and since the opening of the Silk Road, the food of the Han Dynasty has been a lot more. Let Lu Bu also sigh, at least the current life is not so bad! The gap between the rich and the poor in the Han Dynasty was huge, and the poor people may not even be able to afford to eat, but the nobles ate a lot of delicacies.
"Mooncakes! As the name suggests! This round bread is like the full moon in the sky! It's a joy to be able to taste such a delicious food! ”
Jia Xu drank a glass of turbid wine and wiped the side of his mouth.
After eating bread for three months in a row, the stomach that used to growl no longer screams.
