Chapter 50 Considerations

Just after the Shangyuan Festival, the lanterns in the streets and alleys of Gongzhou Fucheng have not been removed, the flower sheds have not been removed, the young men in front of the shops are lazily cleaning the garbage discarded by the tourists in front of the door, and the hawkers walking the streets and alleys are shouting weakly, and people seem to have not recovered from the festive atmosphere.

Today is the first day of the New Year's Day, the counties under the jurisdiction of the state government, the officials of all departments and Cao gathered in the government, and after a few words of greeting, Chen Tang began to lecture, nothing more than any nonsense such as loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, protecting the territory and the people, and then turning to the main topic.

This year, the tasks assigned by the higher authorities are heavy, and all taxes must be implemented, urged and demanded, and all counties must intensify their efforts, mobilize the upper and lower levels to come up with ideas, increase new taxes, reform the original rates, develop economic hot spots, tap the potential of fees, and ensure that the taxes in the first half of the year are completed and enter Beijing on time, and more than half of the state government's fiscal revenue.

"My lord, a large number of materials have been transported into Dazhaozhuang in the past few days, can we set up a tax card?" As soon as Chen Tang finished speaking, Wu Jinxian, the newly appointed magistrate of Xiangyi, stood up and said.

"You let the donkey kick in the head, or let the door clamp!" Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Zhizhou Chen Tang, who was still full of elegance just now, changed his face and scolded, which shocked the audience silently. They don't want to think about it, a few days ago, the eldest son of the Cai Xiang family fell in love with the prince's way and borrowed 100,000 yuan of atonement money from him, but he still had to wait for the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue, Chen Tang thought about whether the two money he got went to the Xiangfu or the palace, and he couldn't be angry when he heard him provoke Zhao Ta again?

"My lord, the lower official..." Wu Jin was stunned, and he didn't know what he was doing wrong.

"Do you know whose territory is Dazhaozhuang?" Chen Tang walked over and asked.

"It's the territory of the lower officials, and it's under my jurisdiction!" Wu Jinxian replied very quickly, he opened his mouth and came, and secretly scolded Chen Tang in his stomach, "You are nine hundred, such a simple question has to be asked in the lobby, when I am also nine hundred!" (Nine hundred in the Song Dynasty = two hundred and five in modern times, where did I not find it)

"Hehe, Wu Zhixian is right! Recently, there has been a strong man, do you know the way? Chen Tang said with a smile, but no matter how it sounded, it sounded like a sneer.

"I don't know, I'll send someone to kill it as soon as I go back!" Wu Jinxian straightened his waist and replied, Gongzhou Mansion Gongwei Gyeonggi has 20,000 soldiers, and there are still strongmen, how can you be the prefect, and you still have a fucking face to ask me.

"Extermination?!" This time Chen Tang was stupid, if he exterminated this strongman, I am afraid that everyone present would have to be wiped out by the Nine Clans.

"Xiangyi County, you are so courageous! ** want to die, don't bother us all! Without waiting for Chen Tang to speak, the general judge became anxious, jumped up and scolded.

"Xiangyi County, sit down quickly, don't say any more..." An official on the side who had a good relationship with him pulled his shirt and said.

"Brother Hu, what's going on?" Wu Jin was confused, and the two governors in the state scolded themselves, as if they had robbed their little wives and jumped into the well with their children.

"Brother Wu, your news is too ill-informed, Da Zhao Zhuang, Xiao Zhao Zhuang and the two Zhuangzi around are the Zhuangzi of the second prince Prince Yan, he was intended to recuperate there for a year, the prince is eccentric, and he often does things out of common sense, and he learned to rob the way of watching dramas during the New Year, and he just robbed the messenger of the decree, and it took this number to put it back, Bachelor Cai's head almost moved, everyone can't hide, you still go to provoke him!"

"Thank you Brother Wu for your advice!" Wu Jinxian came down after hearing the cold sweat, and ran out after making a leg move, "I hope it's still too late, don't let them bump into the prince, the Jade Emperor, the Buddha bless..." He ran and chattered, he spent thousands of times, stayed at home for several years, and finally found a real shortage, just wanted to make up for it when he ran into this unlucky child, the people in the hall seemed to understand his feelings, everyone sighed together, shook their heads, and forgave him for his faux pas.

The next day, the prefect of Gongzhou, who was incompatible with each other, and the general judgment issued an internal secret document, requiring officials and law enforcement personnel from all counties, towns, and townships not to approach a radius of 10 miles from Dazhaozhuang unless necessary, and to strictly pay attention to their words and deeds if they enter, behave appropriately, use civilized language, and especially treat children under the age of 10 with respect and precautions.

At the same time, a rectification team with Zhizhou as the leader and Tongju as the deputy leader was immediately set up and stationed in Xiangyi County, taking the opportunity of Xiangyi Zhixian County to almost cause a major political liability accident to launch a vigorous rectification campaign of 'setting an example and grasping a typical example', and pay close attention to civilized law enforcement! ,

······

After the tenth day of the first lunar month, the Zhao government began to mobilize in an all-round way, set up a leading group, assign ministries, and formulate plans. The chief commander of the project is Zheng Fu, the chief steward, who is responsible for all corresponding affairs on the construction site; Zheng Lu, the second manager, is responsible for purchasing the materials and tools needed on the construction site; Zheng Shou, the third steward, is the general affairs and is responsible for logistics supply to ensure that the strong men eat and drink well. Most of the minor stewards of the various divisions, and even the miscellaneous servants who knew a little about civil engineering, were also dispatched, and only a few people were left in the house to maintain the operation.

The manpower and material resources in the house have been invested in the project, and everything is simple in the Shangyuan Festival, and the water conservancy technicians invited by Tianfu from the sixteenth are also in place, and they began to survey and design, and the stones, timber, and tools ordered before the year have been delivered one after another. Zhao Fu is also happy, as long as it meets the requirements, it is a cash transaction, and there is no arrears.

On the twentieth day of the first month, the strong men collected from each village drove into the construction site, and all the people who signed up arrived, and none of them took the money and ran away. The stewards divided the strong men into several teams according to their specialties according to the prior plan, designated the prestige of the person as the foreman, and then assigned the task, still using the production contract responsibility system, and rewarded those who completed the work, although the wages were not deducted, but they also had to work overtime to make up for it.

At this time, although the beginning of spring has passed, it is still a dry period, the river is very shallow, and some places are still frozen with ice, which is just convenient for construction. However, time was of the essence, and they had to build the dam before the first spring rains fell, otherwise everything would not be able to restart until after autumn.

People have the heart to repay the gratitude, the host family in their own time when they can't live last year in advance, to help them get through the difficulties, the most direct benefit of building embankments and canals is also their own, and two full meals a day, there is still meat in it, which is better than eating at home, so people spare no effort to complete the task according to the plan.

······

After the project started as scheduled, Zhao Ta became the most idle in the house, he is a cautious person, but also a person who can let go, since he doesn't understand, he will hand it over to the people who know how to do, the ancients can build the Grand Canal, build Dujiangyan, everything shows that the water conservancy technology has matured, and there is no problem in building a small dam.

What Zhao has to do now is to listen to the report, see the progress of the project, and then prepare the money to meet these expenses. In it, he found that there are many similarities between the business models of the Song Dynasty and modern society. Take the stone used in the project as an example, because it is located in the plain, the local stone is not produced, and a large amount of stone is needed to build a dam and build a road, everything needs to be purchased from outside and then transported in, which can be described as a huge workload, but he saw that Zheng Lu just went to Ying Tianfu, and this seemingly difficult problem was solved.

It turns out that the merchants of the Song Dynasty have built all kinds of chambers of commerce according to the characteristics of their own industries, Zheng Lu only needs to find the chamber of commerce that specializes in selling stones, say the specifications and varieties of the stone required, negotiate the price, and pay the deposit on the date of the delivery location. Just like the various contractors now, the service is one-stop, and absolutely professional.

"So can your own brewery also change the way you cooperate?" Zhao Ta couldn't sit still, so he turned around the room twice and muttered to himself.

He released the signal of soju to his grandfather's house, in fact, it was also purposeful, firstly, no one in his house was proficient in wine-making and fermentation techniques, which was the first step to making good wine; Second, liquor making was strictly controlled in all dynasties, and the Song Dynasty was no exception, and liquor was sold by the government. If he cooperated with his grandfather, these would not be a problem, but his initial idea was to run the wine shop himself, just give up part of the sales rights of the wine, and his grandfather was one of his agents.

Now Zhao Ta suddenly felt that he should change, it is one thing to brew wine, and it is another thing to sell it, the house itself is short of people, and there is a lack of this kind of sales talent, and my grandfather's family has been making and selling wine for many years, and he has both experience and strength, as well as a mature sales network.

"Yes, just do it!" I didn't come to this world to be a slave of money, money is just a tool for me, and there are many big things that need to be done by myself, so why don't I use such a beneficial and beneficial method, Zhao Ta made up his mind.

"Why hasn't Grandpa sent someone yet? Do they not believe it, or do they find it unprofitable! Zhao Ta suddenly found that he had decided to give shares to others, but the main owner did not come, could it be that he had a hot face on his cold ass, Zhao Ta was confused.

"Impossible!" If soju is really as rare as Zheng Quan said, his grandfather will not let go of this opportunity, the identity of his relatives determines that he cannot hold real power, and he will be an idle prince for the rest of his life, what he can do is to use his identity to do some business and earn a family business for future generations...

Just when Zhao Ta was suffering from gains and losses in the house, and was thinking wildly, he saw Xi running in quickly with his clothes and said, "Lord Wang, the two uncles are here to send congratulatory gifts!" ”

"Oh!" Zhao Ta's face immediately turned cloudy, he really wanted to come to something, just now he was afraid that they would not come, but this time there were two.
