Song Jiu saw that it was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this is the idea that Weichen thought, just like a mirror, there are fifty yuan, there are also ten yuan, the fruit of ten yuan has bird's nest, bear's paw and other valuable ingredients, in fact, there are also fruits of thirty yuan, the taste is also good, the main ingredients are different, to meet the consumption of people at different levels, please try it." ”

Song Jiu pointed to the two kinds of fruits, asked the waiter to take them out, and said, "Record it on my account." ”

"What's on your account?" Zhao Kuangyin was confused.

"Your Majesty, the country has the rules of the country, and there are rules here, in order to avoid confusion in the accounts, Weichen stipulates that no matter who consumes must pay according to the rules, even if it is a deed share. So that the accounts are clear. This is just like the rules for officials sent to other places, and there is relevant minister's money, which must not exceed the scope of use of minister's money, so as not to cause inconvenience. ”

"If there are no rules, you will not stand, what you and Zhao Qing said is quite similar."

"Your Majesty, Weichen dares to compare with Zhao Xianggong."

"You don't have to pay for it, you take out the most expensive fruit, the moderate fruit and the cheapest fruit, and divide it among the princes, and then settle the account, and I will pay for it."

There are not many ministers who can come out with Zhao Kuangyin, there are only more than forty people, and Zhao Kuangyin's money is only a few hundred yuan, which is not a big problem, Song Jiu ordered the servants to take out the fruit from the glass cabinet and distribute it to three people. That may be the same, I don't know how much better the fruit of ten yuan tastes better than thirty yuan. Liu Wensuo held the fruit of ten yuan, almost cried, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister finally ate a cucumber with three yuan and a fruit for ten yuan. ”

The other ministers bowed their heads and laughed together.

Lao Liu is also too harsh. Isn't it just ten dollars, as for the excitement?

Song Jiu felt bad when he heard it. hurriedly said: "Liu Yushi, it's not right to say this. No matter how high or low the river island is, it plays an important role in its ......"

Song Jiuyi pointed to the white jade bridge and said: "The first bridge built in Hezhou is a bridge, Hezhou itself is a bridge, the glaze is very expensive from the big food, and it will become more and more cheap soon, the iron is expensive, there is no good iron, and it will become more and more cheap in the future." Of course, there are some reasons why they have become more expensive. This is the first bridge, and one of the most important bridges, for what appears fifty dollars of mirrors, thirty dollars of fruit, it is to take into account the common people. The actual profit is in the mirror and fruit of ten yuan money, which makes the money of the rich, and then flows back to the state through taxes, and the state then takes care of the poor people. Don't say anything else. Weichen Hezhou has not yet opened, and the tax paid before and after is more than 4,000 yuan. This one has accounts to check, and he will even pay 300,000 yuan in the next year. Not much, if there are thirty or forty such bridges. Does the state still need to collect taxes? Is there still a need to levy two taxes from the poor peasants? Hezhou is good, there are several similar places in the capital, as well as various cities. It's not difficult to choose thirty-four such places, right? ”

Zhao Pu is here, otherwise Song Jiu can say a word. Is Hebei worse than Hezhou?

"Song Jiu, don't be rude. Liu Qingnai is a clean official. ”

"Yes."

"But you don't have to be too careful, Hezhou's intentions, you have told me several times, I understand." Zhao Kuangyin said again, its main role is to play a leading role, allowing everyone to pay taxes to the imperial court, but this cannot be said deeply, first of all, it is Zhao Pu. And now it's not important to pay taxes, what matters is Song Jiu's skills.

After the ceremony on the Hongqiao was over, it was time to visit, and Song Jiu first brought the monarch and ministers to the main store.

He is still very close, and Zhao Kuangyin only spent a few thousand yuan to repair the Qianyuan Palace, so he couldn't be happy. Of course, he is an official cultivator, and it is not easy to say, Song Jiu said that the Shangyang Palace of the Tang Dynasty spent 300,000 yuan, which is actually more than two or three times. Some statements are also incorrect, such as wood, although ordinary wooden houses are not as expensive as brick houses, but how many large pieces of wood will be used in Shangyang Palace, and some beams weigh more than 10,000 catties. The vehicle damaged during transportation alone is immeasurable. In fact, if labor money is included, the cost is far better than the main store.

Although the main store is gorgeous, the cost of glass has come down, and the construction cost may not be so high. Moreover, the price of goods in the Tang Dynasty at that time was better than the price at this time. And regardless of ore and steel, the imperial court gave direct or disguised care. There can also be an analogy, Lu Meng is eating, eating with chicken tongue, in order to satisfy him with a dish, slaughtering hundreds of chickens every day, such a luxury, his mansion costs less than 10,000 yuan. Teng Zongliang rebuilt Yueyang Tower, without official money, without people's money, just let the people who owed the imperial court to accumulate debts donate money to build, and it only cost 9,000 yuan to build Yueyang Tower. At that time, the prices were more than twice as high as they were at this time.

At present, the cost of the three projects in Hezhou has reached 270,000 yuan, excluding compensation, leveling, and even the sewage pipes leading to Henan, as well as the deposits for sugar and milk. Imagine the luxury of the store, which cannot be described by the brilliance.

Inside the store, it was this group of big guys who were also dazzled. I don't plan to open today, the curtains are all opened, the ministers touched the curtain with their hands, all of them are high-quality silk, and there is velvet on it, and there are sixty tables on the lower floor, and there are thirty boxes on each of them, and in the middle is the hall, hanging eight gorgeous large glass lamps, and a curtain will cover the high platform in the middle. There are also four waterways, four horizontally and vertically. There are railings, stone bridges, and copper edges with patterns on the edges. Below is the river, but it is dark water, and the surrounding waterway has an iron fence, two layers of glazed inside and outside, and there are lotus flowers in the waterway, and there are sixty-four glazed lamps in the shape of lotus flowers. But the fly in the ointment is that the waterway is also covered with a layer of glass, although it is transparent, Zhao Kuangyin asked: "Why cover the glass?" ”

"Your Majesty, you look at the glass of the waterway, its function is to prevent the mosquitoes and flies from coming in, but the glass inside can be moved, the reason why the glass is set up is to prevent the temperature from being regulated in winter and summer, if the waterway is opened, the cold and warm inside is not easy to adjust."

"Control the temperature?"

"It is to use the height of the cylinder car to send water to the top of Shundian, and if summer comes, put ice into the pool, circulate it through the pipe, and lower the temperature appropriately. It is easier to heat up, from the kitchen indirect duct to the Shundian, the light carbon monoxide is sent to the outside along the air window, and the hot air enters the pipe and is sent to the inside of the Shundian. ”

Zhao Kuangyin sighed and said, "This is heaven on earth." ”

"Your Majesty is ......," Song Jiu said with a sad face. Fortunately, the steward is clever. I heard the outside shouting that the fruit was expensive, so I took all the recipes away. Otherwise, when these ministers saw the price of the recipe above, Liu Wensuo would first beat his chest.

"You don't have to worry, it's a bridge, and if you want to communicate, you have to play the role of a bridge."

"Your Majesty."

"I heard you rehearsed a song and dance."

"Your Majesty, wait a minute," Song Jiuyi clapped his hands, the uncle came over, and Song Jiu said: "Call the dancing girl to come and dance that thousand-armed Guanyin." ”

"Whoa." Uncle stepped back.

Zhao Kuangyin sat on the chair and suddenly jumped up.

"Your Majesty, don't lie, there are some springs and cushions installed underneath it."

Zhao Kuangyin sat down again. Tell everyone to sit down together, this is a simple sofa, although it is strange to sit on, it must be more comfortable than a large chair. Liu Wensuo also sat down and let out a long sigh, he couldn't say it, people made it clear that it was to make the money of the rich, and then use the tax to return the money to the imperial court. What else can be said?

But the big guy was surprised again, and the singer and dancer came out, but not through the gate, but out of the waterway in a small boat. Just paddle a boat under the glass. Two small boats passed by Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but lean down to watch, and then smiled: "This method is good." ”

"Your Majesty. There's another way, you look at the curtain. There is a lifting platform inside, so if there are few people performing. You can drop directly from the lifting platform on the high platform, because the curtain is separated, and everyone can't see it together. ”

"The tax of 150,000 yuan, plus the commercial tax city tax, is not easy, and you are also careful."

"Yes, if you want to pay this tax and let the deed shares be divided, you can't do it without a little thought."

The boat entered the lower part of the high platform and could not be seen, and after a while the curtain was raised, and the kabuko appeared on the high platform together. Although he knew that there was a passage in the road, the big guy still felt very novel. Novelty dances, novelty clothes, and novelty music...... But it doesn't matter, the dance itself is solemn and solemn, and there is that great compassion. Zhao Kuangyin said: "Wonderful dance. ”

The actual maiko had only been trained for a short time, and the person sitting opposite was the emperor, so the maiko was a little nervous, and her movements were all out of shape, but it was enough. Zhao Kuangyin said: "Who designed this dance. ”

"Everyone worked together, there were some ideas from Weichen, some suggestions and guidance from the head of the line for improvement, and some opinions from Zhu Yannei."

"Teamwork, that's a good point, what about your wine?"

Song Jiu called the uncle to come over and serve the wine, and several beautiful little girls held the wine utensils, high-legged glass cups, and some exquisite patterns on them, just this glass cup is a work of art. The transparent and colorless high wine was poured in, and Song Jiu personally poured the wine for them, not much, only half a tael per person. Lu Duan can do it, but he can't kill Zhao Kuangyin, it's a big trouble.

This is the best liquor distilled, not only strong, but also has a strong aroma and sweetness. Even in the steaming process, Song Jiu asked the winemaker to put less honey and sugar in it according to the likes of the Song people, but its main feature is still one word, strong.

After taking a sip, Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed: "This is good wine." ”

"Your Majesty, you must not eat too much of this, even half a catty can be intoxicating."

"I know it, you just use it to heal wounds?"

"No, I also let the winemaker steam that wine, it is a very cheap sorghum wine that is distilled repeatedly, but the degree is high, and the taste is not good," Song Jiu asked the guards to ride to the wine workshop to take out a bottle. And he said, "It can be drunk, but it is for the healing of wounds." If His Majesty is in urgent need, including Weichen's boric acid powder, you can buy it appropriately. ”

"How much is a pound, I can't afford it if it's expensive."

Dozens of ministers shook their heads together.

"No, if Your Majesty is interested, you can buy a pound for twenty yuan."

"Really?"

"Your Majesty, some money can't be earned, such as education, so Weichen's book is only sold for 600 yuan, and the steward complains bitterly, but he doesn't understand. There is also the treatment of the dead and the wounded. There is also disaster relief, as well as helping the poor and the poor. The last thing is ...... Anyway, there are a few things that can't be earned, which is the moral limit of Wechen. "Song Jiu originally wanted to say that the prostitute's money couldn't be earned, but Zhao Chengzong's side was making a lot of money, and Zhao Pu was there, so he couldn't say it.

"Why can't I see much gold?" Zhao Kuangyin looked up at the brown chandeliers and asked strangely.

After the Tsing Yi case, Weichen was concerned in his heart, and all the colors were yellow, and gold was used sparingly. The number 1916 cannot be touched, and the dragon and phoenix in the pattern cannot be used. Everything in Hezhou can be rich, fun, and luxurious, but it can't be noble. ”

"Song Jiu, you don't have a nine in your name!" Zhao Kuangyi shouted.

"Yes, Your Majesty, or you can give Weichen a name."

"Second brother, don't scare him, this name is good, if you give it, I will still give you this name."

After the dance, the maiko went down, and the guard brought a bottle of high-grade wine to treat wounds, and Song Jiu carefully poured a little for everyone, not much, one or two dollars. Just such a little wine, many ministers almost drank and vomited, Chu Zhaoxiong shouted: "This is fire, where is the wine." ”

"Chu Envoy Division, it is it that is strong, so it can be sterilized. After a while, when Wechen settles down, he will slowly shrink the mirror that can see in the distance, and invent a mirror that can magnify things as thick as a tree trunk, and everyone will be able to see this bacteria. However, the technique is backward, and it is too difficult to try it out. ”

"There's no hurry, you can take your time." Zhao Kuangyin took another sip and said, "Although it is strong, it is also good wine." I was worried that when I arrived in the army, I didn't come to treat my wounds, but I would let the sergeant drink it secretly. ”

This is called a happy person is really happy, especially a person like Zhao Kuangyin who likes to drink, the amount of alcohol is good, and ordinary wine can't satisfy his hobby at all.

A few people came to the top floor, there are sixteen tables on the upper two floors, in fact, the entire Shundian table is less than half of any store, and it can also be increased, but then the space will inevitably be compressed, and it will not show luxury, and it is not a popular route, a real boutique route, do not sit full every day, as long as you sit to one-third of the guests, it will make a lot of money.

When they reached the fifth floor, they were very tall and could clearly see the surrounding environment, but everyone looked at the other side of the river and frowned. Dozens of people sat here chatting, the north shore got more and more blocked, this was the thief's heavenly moment, some were caught, beaten to death, some were not caught, and the thieves screamed and cried. There are also little ladies who did not come by car, crowded in the crowd, and were rubbed with oil by the lustful, some did not dare to scream, some called up, and were beaten again. The whole Hebei is smoky and miasma. Zhao Pu's son Zhao Chengzong was also anxious, it was a good thing that there were too many people, but there were too many people, and they all had to squeeze his shop down, constantly shouting and shouting to keep the people from approaching. As for business, how to do business at this time? (To be continued......)
