Chapter Forty-Seven: Is Wrapping Blackspots Rare?

(The monk who was interrogated all night last night and was not allowed to rest on the weekend, begged for a recommendation vote, and begged for comfort......)

As soon as he got home, Li Jian came to the door, Chen Ke gave him a look, and said to Chen Xiliang with a sloppy look: "Boss Li has come to get the koji." ”

"Go ahead." Chen Xiliang said with a smile: "I haven't been at home for the past few days, and I'm in a hurry for Boss Li." ”

"Out of the way, out of the way." Li Jian snorted, followed Chen Ke through the main gate, and walked towards the warehouse.

In Shu in the Song Dynasty, ordinary people lived in stilted buildings, and wealthy people lived in mansions...... It's basically a courtyard house in the north. Of course, in a small place like Qingshen, living in a mansion doesn't mean that you are a character.

Chen's house is a three-entry quadrangle, and when you enter the door and turn around the shadow wall, you will see five north rooms as a living room, and seven small rooms in a row of inverted seats as a maid's room. Originally, there were also east and west wings, which were demolished under the strong leadership of Chen Ke, so that the length of the east and west sides of the yard increased to ten zhang. He also paved the ground with generous bluestones, placed stone locks and arrow targets in the corners, and installed single parallel bars as a place for the brothers to exercise.

From the living room and the ear doors on both sides, you can come to the second entrance. There are three main halls in this entrance, two rooms with ears on the left and right, a corridor in front, and three rooms in the east and west wings. Generally speaking, the third entrance is the main courtyard where the master's family lives, but the Chen family does not even have a female dependent, and the father and son only live in the second entrance, which is more than enough.

One of the main halls is the dining room, and it is also the place where Chen Xiliang reviews his homework. The first room on the left is the bedroom of Chen Xiliang, Gorou and Rokuro. The first room on the right is the bedroom of Erlang and Saburo, and the two ear rooms are both study rooms.

The three east wings are basically idle, and only sundries are placed. The three west wings were converted into wine koji warehouses, with iron fences hidden in the doors and windows, and the doors were locked on weekdays, and Chen Ke carried the key with him.

Opening the doors and windows of warehouse C to allow the air to circulate inside for a while, Chen Kecai and Li Jian walked in. The room is filled with clay jars of average size, and the clay jars are about to ferment koji.

In fact, the koji is enough, and it doesn't matter how much wine is brewed, and there are so many Qingshen orange orchards at the pass, even if all the ponkans are used to make wine, it is only an annual output of 100,000 catties of raw liquor. The upper limit of production capacity is there, and if you buy it according to the conditions of the government, it is better to hang yourself.

It's only been three days, Li Jian's whole person has lost weight, and his waist is a little rickety, he held the wine vat and asked, "San Lang, there is a charter." ”

"Who is the wine merchant in Meizhou?" Chen Ke opened a wine vat, scooped up a spoonful of richly colored koji with a wooden scoop, and sniffed it gently.

"Pengshan Bi Mingjun." Li Jiandao.

"Doesn't it have anything to do with Meishan Cheng?" Chen Ke said with some disappointment.

"Absolutely. If he didn't have the help of the Cheng family, how could he snatch the glass spring from the original owner? Li Jian said with a natural expression: "Bi Daguan is Mrs. Song's cousin. "Mrs. Song is Cheng Jun's wife.

"......I see," Chen Ke nodded slowly: "How is the Bi family's business?" ”

"Half of the world's famous wine is in Shuzhong, and the competition is naturally fierce. However, the first grade of Snow Koji Wine, Jiannanchun and Luzhou Cellar have a transcendent status and are not affected by anything. The scramble is mainly concentrated in the second-grade Hanzhou goose yellow wine, Rongzhou amber wine, Meizhou glass spring, Pi-County Pijian wine, Linqiong Linqiong wine, these five are mainly for public consumption, so they all use parity to sell. It is not clear who sells the best, but the worst seller is Meizhou glass wine! ”

"What is the reason?"

"Bi Mingjun is a layman, and he likes to be powerful and treat workers harshly. The hired workers in the liquor store, few of them stayed after the expiration of the term, and as a result, the taste of the wine in 'Glass Spring' became worse and worse, and if it weren't for the monopoly, I am afraid that it would have closed down long ago. Li Jian shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

"What impact do we have on them?"

"The impact is somewhat, but not too much." Li Jian thought for a moment and said, "Because we don't go to the store, we sell the original liquor to wine merchants from all over the world, and they distribute it. And our annual output is less than 100,000 catties, so how many more can be distributed to various places? It does not affect the merchants who are monopolized in those zones. ”

The purpose of this kind of elaborate sales method is to avoid too much impact on the government-run liquor industry in a certain region and bring unnecessary trouble. It is precisely in this way that Huangjiao Wine Farm developed smoothly until this incident occurred.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At this time, Li Jian already understood a little, and his face was ugly: "Could it be that they are doing the black hand, we are not hindering them!" ”

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." Chen Ke almost broke the wooden spoon, and said with a cold gaze: "When you see good things, your eyes are red, this is the consistent manipulation of officials and cubs!" ”

"What is the local tribute, but the officials in Beijing have the final say, and the Cheng family has such a great ability?"

"If the magistrate doesn't report, how can Jingli know that there is Huangjiao wine in Meizhou in Shuzhong?" Chen Ke sneered and said: "Do you really think that in less than three years, Huangjiao wine has become a world-famous wine like Jian Nanchun and Xuequ wine?!" ”

"How, I have a number." Li Jian said: "In terms of fame, at best, it is almost the same as amber, glass, and goose yellow." ”

"I asked my father, in Bianliang, no one knows about these so-called famous wines in Shu." Chen Ke said in a deep voice: "If it's not someone who is in the way, how can we be 'honored in the tribute book'!" ”

"Ah......" Li Jian said with a pale face: "You mean, it's the Cheng family who is dealing with us?!" ”

"It's just speculation." Chen Ke glared at him with some anger: "Just bluffed you like this?" ”

"We are from a small family, how can we fight with the Cheng family......" Li Jian's legs trembled.

"Who said it must be the Cheng family!"

"That's good, that's good......" Li Jian took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and said.

"Even if it's not the Cheng family," Chen Ke sighed and said, "You bear look, how can you fight with others?" ”

"If it's not the Cheng family, I'm not afraid," Li Jianqiang said with a smile: "Don't say that in Meizhou, even in the entire Sichuan and Shu, the Cheng family is a number of heroes!" If it's really their family, we'll be able to kill them. ”

Chen Ke really wanted to scold him for 'farting', but he couldn't change anything except to destroy the relationship between them. He exhaled a long breath of turbidity and said, "You still have to go to the county office, find Song Daling to read the official document, and remember to seal fifty taels of silver and donate it to the county!" "A tael of silver is equal to money.

"So much money?!" Li Jian said painfully. 50,000 yuan is for a piece of paperwork, which is beyond the scope of ordinary people's acceptance.

"It's for temptation! If we show such sincerity, no matter whether the other party is a corrupt official or a clean official, it will be accommodating and convenient. Li Jian said lightly: "If you still don't show it, it means that there is something wrong with this document, and our vitality is here!" ”

"What if you show it?"

"You won't lose by showing it. In the future, if we want the imperial court to be accommodating and exempt, we will have to rely on the great order to help with all our might, and we have to take the opportunity to have a good relationship. Chen Ke sighed and said, "If you are reluctant, the money will be deducted from my account." ”

"No, no, no, how can you spend your dividends, or from the public." Li Jian waved his hand.

"You're welcome, at this time, it's most important to get through the difficulties together." Chen Ke smiled.

"......" The two were about to go out, when Li Jian suddenly: "Can we beat the government?" ”

"If it's another dynasty, naturally don't even think about it." Chen Ke smiled faintly: "But this is the Great Song Dynasty, although there is also darkness, but in short, it is much cleaner than other dynasties." ”

In order to boost Li Jian's confidence, Chen Ke told him what he had just heard from his elders:

"When I learned about this that day, I thought that my eyes were dark, and there was no way to do it after all...... The quickest way for the small characters in our tribute is to refer to the examples of the tributes of our predecessors. So I asked a few elders about the tribute paid by our Great Song Dynasty, and the result was really relieved. ”

"How?" Li Jian's eyes widened.

"The elders said that almost all tributes would be similarly 'and bought', but for so many years, I haven't heard of anyone being forced to hang themselves." Chen Ke said: "The Great Song Dynasty did not have the habit of careless regard for human life, it was really a big trouble, and the relevant officials would definitely not be able to eat and walk around." ”

"Are we the only ones who are so unlucky?"

"Of course not." Chen Ke shook his head and said: "The more famous the tribute, the more powerful the goose plucking, the levy is increased layer by layer, but the money received is stripped layer by layer, here and outside, it can really force people to death." ”

"Why didn't you force people to die?"

"Because there is always a ruler who is the master of the people!" Chen Ke said: "There is also corruption in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, but there are more righteous people and gentlemen, once they do too much, there will always be people who speak up!" ”

"For example, ten years ago, the world-famous Duanzhou Duanyan was in a similar situation to us, so that the craftsmen fled one after another. Later, the newly arrived Zhizhou Bao Zheng secretly investigated. It was found that the palace only asked for 'Duanzhou Sui Gong Yan Ten', plus the three mansions and six departments and the bought, there were no more than hundreds. Officials at all levels increased the number of tribute inkstones, and as a result, Duanzhou had to hand over nearly 1,000 square meters every year. Bao Heizi was furious, and stabbed the matter to the capital, and as a result, the relevant officials fell one after another, and since then, Duanzhou has paid a tribute of ninety square Duanyan every year, which has become a fixed number, and no one has dared to blackmail one side again! ”

"San Lang, what do you want to do?" Li Jian said with sweat on his forehead.

"I want to see if there is only one Bao Qingtian in this Great Song Dynasty!" Chen Ke has never been afraid of things, he clenched his fists tightly and said: "If he is the only one, I will go to the capital to find him to complain!" ”

Li Jian was suppressed by the young man's ruthlessness, and only after a while did he say dryly: "San Lang, does it have to be like this?" "He didn't dare make such a big deal out of it.

"Alas," Chen Ke couldn't get angry when he saw him like a wreck, so he could only say angrily: "Of course, you have to wait until you have to." ”

"That's good, that's good......"
