Although Zheng Xi was furious, he couldn't change the current situation, he understood that he had lost his father's trust, and he had hated his concubine's sister, and there would be no good fruit when he went back, when he walked out of the gate of Zhao's mansion in frustration, he looked back at Zheng Yu who was proud of the spring breeze, regret and jealousy, his position has been shaken, and I am afraid that it will not take two years to give it to him. Everyone understands that once soju is listed, the value generated will far exceed that of other businesses in the house, and it will inevitably be valued by his father.

It is said that interlacing is like separating mountains, and it was not until the winery began to be built that Zhao Ta realized that making wine in the road is not just as simple as I can open a winery by finding a few knowledgeable people to build a few rooms, but there are many restrictions and thresholds here.

The first level is that the state implements the policy of patenting liquor in the liquor industry, which is to obtain the approval of the government and obtain a business license. In the Song Dynasty, the liquor industry was divided into government and private enterprises, with the government-run liquor industry occupying a monopoly position and the private liquor industry being relatively scattered. This policy has formed a situation where there is only one government and no other branches, which can be said to be the same as the modern petrochemical 'double hero' and the communication 'three tyrants', and of course the profits of this industry are also huge.

Obtaining a license is not the end, the winery cannot be built casually, the state gives you two ways: one is that you go to contract the state to build a good winery, you pay the contract fee, and the state will underwrite the wine for you, or pay taxes according to the output, and then you will sell it, this policy is suitable for the vast southern region of the Great Song Dynasty; The second is to sell koji, and the sake must be fermented with koji, which is controlled by the state. Sorry not to sell to you. Do some people say I made my own? No, it's a felony to make wine and koji privately, and if you don't cut off your head, you will have to be exiled for 3,000 miles. This is suitable for the northern states and counties.

This person said, I have all the certificates, I also bought the koji, and the taxes have been paid, I can make wine, right? The government said, you can build it, but... This is the second level, you have made the wine, you can't sell it casually, you can only sell the wine within the demarcated range. You said that this was local protectionism and a violation of the WTO, and the official messenger immediately showed the "Great Song Law". In the form of legislation, the Song Dynasty strictly divided the official liquor prohibition area, that is, the location of the city and rural liquor farms where the capital of Beijing and Zhudao Prefecture is located, and it was strictly forbidden to sell liquor across the border, and it was severely punished. What's even more troublesome is that in the forbidden land, private brewing and selling are not allowed.

Of course, the government does not just collect taxes and do nothing, whether it is government-run liquor or private liquor, as long as it does not violate the national liquor monopoly regulations, it will be encouraged, and hold grand events such as new liquor listing and tribute liquor entering Beijing to stimulate consumption and help you sell.

They agreed that the distillery would remain on the site of Chentang Zhuangzi, which was not only close to the river, but also had ready-made cellars and wells, which only needed to be expanded, equipped with equipment, and fully staffed to start production. Zhao Ta was anxious as soon as he heard Zheng Yu talk about these procedures, you also bothered me about trivial things, I, the CEO, went to run errands for you, and asked you, the shopkeeper, to eat dry food, you and the housekeeper to discuss it, if you can't do it, don't blame me for deducting your wages, in fact, these things are just a little troublesome for a powerful family like them, and it's easy to say.

Zheng Yu carried the two banners of Yanwang Mansion and Yiguo Mansion, invited several leaders of the state and county, and the people who were in charge of examination and approval had a few meals, and sent some 'native products' All the procedures were completed. It is easy to say that although there are provisions in the law, there are exceptions to everything, and the later judicial interpretation also states that 'the wine produced outside the forbidden land of the government is not for the purpose of being sold, or the government, clan, official's family, and village people can brew wine for their own use, in principle, it is also possible'. The discretion was in Chen Tang's hands, and with a stroke of the pen, the forbidden land shrank ten miles to the state capital, and their winery fell just outside the red line, anyway, the regulations said that 'the forbidden land can be set up for ten or dozens of miles', which is not considered favoritism. In addition, who dares to say that the prince is not a clan, and the prince is not a family of officials.

They also gave an idea, the capital is not allowed to sell foreign wine, it can be said that it is produced by the Gongzhou branch of the Bianliang Grand Liquor Factory of the Guogong Mansion, although the branch is far away from the capital, but it is also to not pollute the environment of the capital and affect the health of the emperor's dragon body!

Watching Zheng Yu pulling the three managers to rush between the distillery and the state capital day and night, Zhao Ta, who was hiding in the workshop to develop distillation equipment, was secretly happy, and deeply felt that it was really a 'wise decision' to pull his grandfather to join forces! ,

It is March 3 of another year, this day is the birthday of the Emperor Zhenwu, it is also the day when the Queen Mother opens the peach meeting, and it is the big day of the palace, the people of the four Zhuangzi on the dam have gathered to the Baishui River in the morning, it was expected that the dam will take 50 days to complete, but with the efforts of everyone, it was completed half a month ahead of schedule, and today is the day when the dam is officially closed and stored water.

With the order of the chief steward, the second steward and the heads of the villages and the elders moved the wheels, the sluice gate slowly fell, cutting off the river, and the rushing river water hit the dam, and made a circle of tame homes in the reservoir. At this time, hundreds of firecrackers were lit at the same time, and dozens of gongs and drums sounded in unison, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" I don't know who was the first to shout, and suddenly all the people gathered on the river beach knelt facing north and shouted long live, pushing the ceremony to a climax. This is everyone's sincere voice, everyone knows that this dam was built by the second prince, King Yan, and the credit is naturally recorded on the emperor.

The next is to pay wages, looking at several big cars swaying, shiny copper coins were transported to the scene, the people all felt short of breath, blood boiling, before the start of construction the stewards said, all in the embankment in the hard work, put forward reasonable suggestions, will be issued bonuses as appropriate, today is the time to cash.

"Lei Dahu of Dachen Village, the captain of the transportation team, he is the first to arrive at the construction site every day, and the last one to leave the construction site, hard work, in addition to the salary, an additional ten yuan as a reward!" The chief steward Zheng Fu shouted loudly.

"Oh my God, the reward is three times more than the salary, the prince is really willing!" The originally silent venue became commotionous, and everyone whispered about it, and no one expected that there would be so many rewards.

"Lei Dahu, don't be stunned, come up and get the money, there are more people, you can't take it alone!" The steward who was in charge of the money shouted with a smile.

"Ha Luha, you can move it, you can move it, our family is here..." Lei Dahu led his wife and two children to the front and said with a smile, watching Lei Dahu press his handprint and receive more than ten strings of money and come over, everyone patted him on the shoulder kindly, his performance during this period of time was seen by everyone, he received so much money, everyone was convinced. More people are full of anticipation, mentally calculating how much they can get with their performance.

"Dad, let's use the money to repair the house, collect the wheat and give the eldest baby the family affairs, this family can't be delayed any longer!" Aunt Lei smiled and raised her sleeve to wipe the corners of her eyes and said.

"Mother, don't be in a hurry to repair the house, didn't the prince say, wait until the dam is repaired this year, the dry canal is dredged, and the road is paved, and a new house will be built for everyone after the autumn, so that we can move in before the New Year, let's not repair the broken house, my brother's family affairs will be done together when we move into the new house!" Erwa said with a raised face.

"Don't talk nonsense, how much does it cost, isn't the prince coaxing us?" Aunt Lei said with a little disbelieving.

"Women really have long hair and short knowledge, do you think that the prince can reward me with so much money, I go early every day and come back later, you still nag all day long, now you see that I have earned more than ten yuan in more than a month, is the prince coaxing us?" Lei Dahu sneered at his wife.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong..." Aunt Lei didn't talk back to a man for the first time, there was so much money in front of her, she had to believe it.

"Zhang Tongzhuan of Xiaochen Village, a mason, works meticulously and conscientiously, and can exceed his tasks every time, and an additional bonus of ten times!"

"Li Erping of Dachen Village not only completed his tasks on time, but also put forward reasonable suggestions many times and issued an additional bonus!"

"Xiao Zhaozhuang Song Changshan, as the captain of the organization, led the team to overcomplete the task many times, and rewarded eight dollars!"

······

"Alas, I didn't expect that Erbazi's stupid guy also received a reward of three times, how can I be worse than him?" A man only received a salary, did not receive any reward, and nagged dissatisfied.

"Sangou, you kid eats more than anyone else, and does less than anyone else, it's good to give you some wages, and you want to reward money!"

"That's it, don't pee and take a photo, see what virtue you have, although Erbazi is simple, but people work hard, I think it's much better than you, who is cheating and cheating!"

"Let's go, don't be embarrassed here, if you go on like this, don't go home!" Sangou's wife pulled him down, blushing and squeezing out of the crowd.

"Uncle Niu, are you still leaving after harvesting the wheat?" A young man asked with a few strings of money and a middle-aged man.

"Let's go? Where to go, I won't go, the dam is repaired, the grain will be able to harvest more than two percent, I heard that we tenants will build new houses, where to find such a good owner, I won't go! ”

"Uncle Niu, I don't want to leave either, but I don't know if my father will agree?"

"Bolt, you just took so much bounty and wanted to leave, are you worthy of the prince? I'll talk about your father! ”

······

Zheng Fu, Zheng Shou and a group of stewards standing on the dam looked at the crowd of happy eyebrows, and were a little excited to listen to everyone's incessant thanks, the dam was successfully completed, and Wang Yong would be happy if he heard and saw all this at this moment. From the beginning to the present, the prince has been a 'behind-the-scenes hero', he not only used money, but also 'wisdom' to win the trust of the villagers, give them hope, and activate this pool of stagnant water, but he failed to appear here.
