The old man put down his chopsticks and clapped his hands and said, "Yes!" These days, the mouth has been carefully raised by the chickens, and it seems that it is better to eat less in the future! ”

Yao Erniang shook her head and said: "If you dare not use it, look at the diners in Huangzhou City, it's strange if you don't smash the old restaurant!" ”

Huang Dalang looked at Wan Chunnu, who didn't understand the situation, with a face full of grievances, so he smiled and let Wan Chunnu sit, and asked Yuemei to go to the kitchen to get the chicken essence, and then gave Wan Chunnu a bowl of fish soup, and asked her to taste it after putting the chicken essence, which naturally made her eyes almost pop out.

Looking at Wan Chunnu's expression, Huang Dalang also thought that he really hadn't sent chicken essence to his father-in-law's house, so he whispered: "When you go back to the door, you can bring some back." ”

Huang Dalang, the black technology of chicken essence, didn't think about selling it, but it was just an old store and food exchange street for his own family, and if he wanted to taste this delicacy, he was naturally the only one with no other branch!

After using the morning food, the old couple naturally went to the old store, and Huang Dalang led Wan Chunnu back to the room. He naturally knew that for this meal, Wan Chunnu got up on the fifth watch, and he was busy for almost two hours. Fortunately, he was disturbed last night and didn't come again, otherwise how could Wan Chunnu get up this morning, which made her go to bed and go back to sleep.

Seeing that Wan Chunnu's breath gradually stabilized and fell asleep, Huang Dalang's heart was also full of feelings, which should be something called "happiness".

After thinking about it, he came to the study to grind and lay paper, which was pondering, and soon began to write: "Ten thousand flowers are beautiful, spring is late, Jiao'e who pities it." Slender eyebrows, embroidered shirts, no powder. The years are like a brocade, and when you fold straight, you must fold. Like a fairy painting, it takes a lot of chances. ”

I am a yellow-headed young man, but I have this beautiful favor, and I should be paid for my old age. Life also has an end, how can it be negative, but ask for a white head in this life. If the sky is affectionate, but it can not laugh at me, and the sky will not be old. The two love each other, hand in hand and sing together. ”

After writing, the inscription at the place of payment said: September 17 of the year of Renchen, Huang Jie Nawan's spring slave took a commemorative note, willing to hold the executioner, and live up to it in this life.

Wan Chunnu slept until the afternoon, got up and looked up, but found that there was no one in the room, but a roll was spread on the table in front of the bed, so she got up and looked, and when she read the words on the scroll, tears could not help but fall.

At this time, Huang Dalang was in Yao Zheng's study, and there was a machine-sealed letter on the desk, which Huang Dalang had just read, but the head-up and the inscription, as well as some of the words were painted with ink. Of course, the main content and general meaning are still very clear, that is, how Cai Jing took advantage of the loophole of the restructuring to forcibly reform the official names after returning to Beijing in August, and how he rectified many officials.

The matter of rectifying officials was not mentioned in yesterday's Di Bao letter, saying that Cai Jing was also crowned the Duke of Lu Guogong after the dynasty, and he proposed that Su Mu, a scholar from Huaixi, propose to Cai Jing to collect the exam questions in the past five years, and make inquiries and comparisons to look at the back. What does this mean? That is, at this time, many scholars in various places and the imperial court took the current politics as the topic of the exam, and after Cai Jing was deposed and left the court, the scholars also asked questions: May I ask Cai Jing, the big tiger, has finally fallen for the second time, what do you think?

As a result, more than 30 people were convicted of this, and those who were removed from their posts were removed from their posts, and those who were degraded were degraded.

Then other letters also mentioned how arrogant Cai Jing was after he returned to Bianliang, punishing and deposing those who used to look at him unpleasantly, and now he looks at others unpleasantly. However, these Huang Dalang didn't care at all, the question he was concerned about was whether Cai Jing really wanted to carry out any tax law reform of salt, wine and tea, and the news on the letter was obviously negative.

Yao Zheng looked at Huang Dalang, who was sitting on the side with a frown, these days after the child went home, especially the changes in the past few months, as an uncle, he naturally saw it in his eyes. Maybe others really don't know who Huang Dalang's master is, but he knows, plus Huang Dalang just took out a few recipes, so that the salted fish in the old Huang family store turned over, and let Shihui Street appear out of thin air, as well as the absoluteness of "smoke lock pond willow", and the momentum of confronting Su Che and competing for fame and fortune...... Today's Yao Zheng will not underestimate his own half.

When Huang Dalang put down the letter, Yao Zheng also took it, and it was still in the copper basin on the side, and the letter paper was slowly melted after being invaded by water.

Casually put aside the paper, Yao Zheng asked, "Jie'er, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"No opinion!" Huang Dalang shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "Speaking of which, it's just a fight between the gods and the pond fish!" Cai Jing is now in power, and it is common sense to rectify some people. Not to mention that we want to reform the tax law, we are also beyond the reach of the whip, I want to come to my uncle's official position, not to mention whether the book can be handed to the official family, even if it is really handed to the official family, whether the official family will read it or not. Therefore, now we can only wait and see what happens, anyway, if there is a disaster, it is not my Huangzhou family that is unlucky. ”

Yao Zheng also nodded when he heard this, although he has weight in Huangzhou, he can't reach the level of giving the official family a secret fold. Besides, this Huangzhou prefect Lord Cao is neither Cai Jing's person nor an anti-Cai Jing person, so it is impossible for him to make a strong stand out on the matter of reforming the tax law, not to mention that this guy's idea of wanting to return to Bianliang is also well known in the yamen.

Huang Dalang continued to comfort: "Uncle doesn't have to worry about this, the child has now found a good hand who can walk the waterway, the child's meaning, this big road can't go, so it's better to take the small road." ”

Yao Zheng shook his head and said: "Huangzhou does not produce salt and iron, and the only thing that the people can make a profit is tea. How can you call your uncle not to be upset? ”

The Song Dynasty is a famous "poor and weak" feudal dynasty in history, and the Khitan (Liao), Xixia (Dangxiang), Jurchen (Jin) beacon fire, financial difficulties, the shortage of war horses are the two major problems, and can take out the war horse for the things are not much, tea is one of the big, so the court attaches great importance to the tea system.

According to the records of the Song Hui Yao Bing, the source of funds for buying horses was "cloth, silk, tea, and other things of full value", and tea classes were an important source of state finance. In the last years of Song Gaozong, the state fiscal revenue was more than 5,940 yuan, and the tea profit accounted for 6.4%, and the time of Song Xiaozong was more than 6,530 yuan, and the tea profit accounted for 12%, which shows the abundance of tea class. And because "Yi people can't live without tea for a day", tea has become a necessary material for Boma. The political attributes of tea have far exceeded the attributes of commodities, so after entering the Song Dynasty, emperors, ministers, and economists were directly involved in the formulation and revision of the tea law, and the debate was very fierce, and the changes were also frequent, so that the tea law was perfected day by day.

Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, was militarily threatened by the Khitan and Western Xia, while the state finances mainly relied on the southeast. In the second year of Taizu Qiande (964 AD), the tea of the southeastern provinces began to be banned, and the goods were placed in Bianjing, Jian'an, Hanyang and other places, and then adjusted to six. If the officials buy it, the people dare to hide it and send it to the officials and private collectors, and they will not enter it", and prohibit the gardeners (tea farmers) from "destroying tea trees" and selling "fake tea", and officials and smugglers are guilty of the same crime.

In addition, thirteen farms were set up in Huainan, and the gardeners under its jurisdiction belonged to the mountain farm, which was a place for collecting tea rent, purchasing tea and selling tea. In this way, a situation has been formed in which "tea is forbidden all over the world, but the two provinces in Sichuan and Gorge listen to the people and sell it by themselves, and prohibit it from leaving the country". Subsequently, in the fourth year of Jiayou (1059 AD), the ban was restored, and the ban was reinstated in the first year of Chongning (1102 AD).

Who would have thought, but ten years later, after Cai Jing played with Dang Shiqian and Hua Shigang, his mind finally hit the salt wine and tea, which is going to be his life!
