Di Renjie is very leisurely, and his figure appears in the streets and alleys and teahouses and taverns, as if he is on vacation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He arrived first in the business district, which allowed him to see the prosperity of the world, far more than other ordinary states and counties.

There are many people, many things, and more money!

The bad ones are gone, and the good ones are gone.

Many are wearing new clothes and smiling.

There are no new clothes to wear, and those who wear shabby clothes, but they are all clean, and their faces are not vegetable, just like the feet of the Son of Heaven and the people of the rich prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the commercial area, there is a boom in buying and selling, and the goods are piled up in the store, and the buyers seem to move the goods home as if they don't need money!

And there are a wide range of buyers, even those who are dressed in shabby clothes and plain clothes have a shot!

Those who are shy in their pockets buy back cloth, and those who have good pockets buy silk. The poor buy back the acacia locust, and the rich buy the soap. Those who carefully discharged a large amount of money bought coarse tea, and threw out silver to buy the precious West Lake Longjing.

Let the well-informed Di Renjie and Yuan Fang nod secretly, the people must have money to be able to do this!

After a few sittings, Di Renjie met many friends, most of whom were wealthy businessmen and gentry.

He admitted that he was a tea merchant in the imperial capital, and he marched around the country, visited famous teas in various places, and sold those who liked him to the imperial capital.

In his speech, he admired the West Lake Longjing, and he said eloquently: "The world always thinks that the tea before the Qing Dynasty (the tea picked before the Qingming Dynasty) is better than the tea before the rain (the tea picked before the rain in the valley), and the tea before the Qing Dynasty is tender and of good quality, but it is not resistant to brewing, and it can only be said that it is the word "early" that catches up!" The tea before the rain has grown, and the aftertaste is still long after brewing, and it is a "taste" word, I love to drink the tea before the rain! ”

"Di Gong really understands tea!" New friends complimented.

Speaking of West Lake Longjing, it scratched the itch of the rich businessmen and gentry in Dengzhou, because Dengzhou is popular to drink West Lake Longjing!

In the past, Dengzhou people drank all kinds of tea, and drank whatever they liked, since that noble man took charge of Dengzhou, overnight, the middle and upper classes loved to drink Longjing.

The nobleman's favorite drink is the West Lake Longjing, and his family bought almost all the mountainous land in the West Lake area of Hangzhou, specializing in growing Longjing tea.

Drinking West Lake Longjing is not exactly to tie up the nobleman, just because drinking Longjing represents a new fashion, take a sip, and suddenly feel the wisps of fragrance refreshing.

"Fellow travelers!"

Therefore, Di Renjie got almost everything he wanted to know.

That's right, in addition to positive taxes, there are also donations in the Dengzhou area.

The term donation comes from later generations, which refers to the contribution of property to the country, such as the pacification of the rebellion of the three feudatories during the Kangxi period, and the private donation of property due to the country's financial difficulties. During the Anti-Japanese War, overseas Chinese in Nanyang also came to donate to the Nationalist Government to fight against the small Japanese people.

There is a donation in the Dengzhou area, which is mandatory, more or less, all of them can be paid!

It is also very cunning, all donations are made in the name of voluntariness, and the documents are written and voluntarily handed in, but those who do not hand it over will close the store.

It is done, and it seems that Zhuang Jingzhi's impeachment is indeed substantiated.

It must be known that the Tang Dynasty is still relatively holy and friendly to the people, and the Dengzhou government has not obtained national laws and regulations to do so, which is equivalent to setting up a small treasury in the region, which is difficult to shirk!

However, Di Renjie is Di Renjie after all, he not only listened to the wind and rain, but also continued to investigate, because he found that those rich businessmen seemed to have no dissatisfaction with being forced to donate.

"Dissatisfied? There used to be, but now there isn't! A hearty Kang said with a smile.

"None?"

"For what is taken from the people is given back to the people!" Another Zhao Yuanwai said.

"The donations received are used for road paving, cleaning, relief, disaster relief, education and training, etc., and every expenditure is clear, and it is decided by the government and the local gentry together!"

Kang Yuanwai said with a smile: "I am most satisfied with the sanitation of our Dengzhou City, since the government set up a love committee, the sanitation in the city is better than any city, and no city is as clean as our Dengzhou." ”

"You can't say that!" Someone disagreed.

"Then where do you say it's better than our Dengzhou? Luoyang, Chang'an? They are not as good as our Dengzhou, Di Gong, you are from the capital, what do you think? "Kang Yuan is quite sure of the authenticity.

Indeed, Di Renjie bowed slightly, knowing that what Kang Yuanwai said was true.

"Tonghuang County!" When the opponent said the name of the place, he muttered that he could not refute it.

Because the previous Tonghuang County Order is now the history of Dengzhou, the Love Committee was originally launched from Tonghuang County.

"Also, the donation is led by nobles!" Kang Yuan's loss of wind outside the mouth, another topic.

There is always nothing wrong with honoring a nobleman, so everyone is praised outside.

"The noble man donated 100,000 guan, and his wife, Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, donated 300,000 guan!" All of them were in awe!

"It's good to donate, we used to donate to temples and Taoist temples, and now we are giving them to the living and places, the noble man said, everything that has been done in the yang world, there are records in the underworld, he said that giving alms to the poor is equivalent to lending money to the king of Hades! When you go to another world, as a creditor, you must have good treatment! ”

"Giving money to the poor is tantamount to lending money to Hades?!" Di Renjie was shocked by this bold sentence!

"Others say that it will definitely not work, but the noble man is a star in the sky, and what he says must be reasonable!" Kang Yuanwai's words were unanimously approved.

After talking, Di Renjie knew many new terms, such as special funds, publicity, vocational training, love committee, urban management and so on.

Rao is from a scholar's background, and he pays attention to his silent and strange powers, and he has reservations about the court's statement that Wei Xi is not a human being, but he has heard those refreshing terms with his own ears, which makes his confidence a little shaken!

Then he was invited, and Kang Yuanwai and others warmly invited him to participate in the pre-holiday activities of condolences to the lonely and widowed elderly in the afternoon, which was one of the fund arrangement projects in the donation, and Di Renjie happily went with him.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, after participating in the event, he and Yuan Fang arrived in the harbor area.

He has seen a unique promenade to view the sea, with Romanesque columns and vaults, the floor is cut into rocks and piled up in blocks, it is designed by the nobles themselves, magnificent and atmospheric, and the fools all call it the building of the Heavenly Shrine!

Those who know the goods say that it is the Western architectural style, but how can the nobles be so familiar with the Western architectural style? It only makes sense to explain that he is not human.

The harbor area has always given Di Renjie surprises, the lull harbor, the harbor is full of sails, the boats are connected, the fishing boats that travel quickly, the steady cargo ships, and the warships that shake and shake and sail in formation...... Coupled with the dense flow of people like crucian carp and the mountains of goods, it is really breathtaking!

This is the sea route, this is the source of wealth!

Di Renjie understood why Dengzhou's tax revenue increased by 30 percent!

The existing "Marine Corps" also left a deep impression on Di Renjie.

It was the middle of winter, and the Marines were undressed, revealing their sturdy bodies running and exercising every morning!

They chanted slogans and displayed their fists and weapons on the beach.

The action is consistent and powerful.

The queue is neat, horizontal, vertical, and oblique are all one line, which is shocking!

They sang "Loyal to the Country" and shouted "Loyal to the emperor, defend the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Everyone comes from the heart and their loyalty is unquestionable.

There is not a single person who does not praise them, they are the elite soldiers under the command of nobles!

Someone said: "With this male soldier, my generation can sleep peacefully!" ”

Some people also said: "The male soldier must be led by a general, and our noble man is the first general in the world!" ”

Di Renjie listened to it and fell into deep thought.

……

Back at the inn, he picked up his pen and wrote: "The horse is a great talent, loyal to the country, on the horse to govern the army, off the horse to govern the people, the Tang Dynasty is very lucky!" (To be continued.) )
