Wang Laogui was very excited, he didn't expect to get the county Zun's personal guidance and entrust him with important tasks, the county Zun did not forget his old brothers who broke their legs and feet for Lantian County, and Wang Laogui's heart was warm when he thought of this.

Li Chaosheng took people to continue to drink mutton soup, Wang Laogui was very interesting, and after chatting with Li Chaosheng for a few more words, he retreated and did not disturb Li Chaosheng to eat.

Li Chaosheng ate quickly, a big bowl of haggis soup, two scallion pancakes, a few slices of mutton with sauce were full, and the rest of the people were also army people who ate very quickly, and when Li Chaosheng finished eating and stood up, he found that the pair of maids dressed as men not far away had also finished eating, got up and left, and Liu Ye's group had almost eaten and were ready to leave.

It's just that among Liu Ye's bunch of people, the guy with inverted triangular eyes kept looking in the direction of the two little ladies, obviously with bad intentions.

Seeing this, Li Chaosheng said to the two guards who followed him: "Follow them, Lantian County can't allow them to go wild, by the way, notify the Lantian County Public Security Management Department, take care of the population from other places, don't let them behave in the city, forget it, Chao Dolphin, I'll leave this work to you to complete together." ”

"Yes."

Li Chaogu answered, followed by two guards who mixed in with the crowd and disappeared.

Li Chaosheng took the grain, Li Chaogu and his party walked on the street, look at this Lantian No. 1 pedestrian street, it is also an attempt by Li Chaosheng in business, governing the country not only includes politics, military, and economy is also very important, and even in some respects it occupies a larger proportion than the other two.

Enriching the country and strengthening the people is something that every generation of emperors are trying, but there are not many successes, and a large part of it is due to the ancient emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce, and there are two reasons for the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business.

The first and most important point is that in ancient times, the output of land was insufficient, and a large number of agricultural people were needed to cultivate it to ensure that there was enough food.

The second is that businessmen are active, and many of them do not have the concept of family and country, and some even do not hesitate to sell the interests of the state for money, which is very unfriendly to the ruling class and a threat to the rule of the country, so it should be suppressed.

Because of this, most of the ancient emperors suppressed agriculture and commerce.

But Li Chaosheng doesn't think so, the population of the first Ming Dynasty is enough, according to the records of the Ming Dynasty, the first year of the Apocalypse Ming Dynasty had a population of 51.7 million people, and this population is registered, and the population who really has to pay taxes.

You must know that there are many black households in this era, such as family children, tenant farmers, and so on, are not on the hukou, you must know that the tax collection method of the Ming Dynasty is calculated according to the capitation, if you do not register and make a register, these people do not need to be taxed, so there are a large number of hidden people in the people, it is said that it is 50 million, but the actual doubling may be more.

Therefore, the cultivated population of the Ming Dynasty is already enough, and there is no need to deliberately increase.

Second, the yield of crops has increased, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, these high-yield crops were born, which can liberate many people from the land.

Therefore, business is a good way to boost GDP, improve national strength, and enrich the people.

Large commercial groups need to recruit workers, which makes use of the surplus labor, and there are some people who are active and do some small business by themselves, which not only enriches the living materials of the people, but also makes money, so that the goods in the entire Lantian territory can circulate, which is a good model.

What Li Chaosheng needs is a Lantian County where all industries are prosperous, rich and healthy, and he does not need a Lantian County where only the military is strong, and the rest are in a mess and destitute.

"Such a business model should be replicated in the rest of the big cities in the Lantian area as much as possible, and the business community can greatly improve the core competitiveness of the local area, drive the local economic recovery, and bring a better life to the people."

Li Chaosheng took a trip, you can see a lot of problems, after saying this, Gu Zi said on the side: "This matter Guo Bao and their administrative department has held a special meeting with the commercial department, they didn't expect that the county proposed to build this commercial street will be so prosperous, this street a year's commercial tax is about to catch up with half of the Lantian City's tax, they are also ready to replicate in the rest of the city, and are currently preparing to plan to carry out Shangluo, Hanzhong, Ankang, Baoji, Weinan, the city commercial street of the six major state capitals, the slowest next year should be able to be done, At that time, our Lantian will be really rich. ”

Li Chaosheng nodded, and stopped in front of a small store, and the signboard on the store was Yuhua Niang Yinzi.

Seeing this Li Chaosheng became interested, I didn't expect that there is a place similar to the current milk tea shop in this commercial street, drink, which can be interpreted as a drink, since ancient times, the most developed is the Song Dynasty, the great painter Zhang Zeduan's "Qingming Riverside Map" has many roadside stalls, and the words "drink", or fragrant drink, etc., can be seen that the drink was developed in the Song Dynasty.

The drinks of the Song Dynasty can be roughly divided into three types: soup, syrup, and thirsty water

Soup is brewed, boiled, and drunk with various plants, such as osmanthus, plum, lychee, and orange, which can be boiled and sold as a drink.

As for the pulp, it is also called pulp water, it is similar to winemaking, the general practice is to cook the rice, pour it into the vat, soak it in clean water for five or six days, let it ferment, pour out the pulp water, and then you can add honey, osmanthus, or all kinds of fruit juice, sweet and sour is very delicious.

As for thirsty water, it is similar to the current concentrated fruit juice, but don't think that concentrated fruit juice was invented in modern times, in fact, it was available in the Song Dynasty.

The production method is also very simple, mash the fruit, such as bayberry, squeeze the juice, filter out the pomace, put it into the pot and boil it slowly, evaporate the water, and put the last paste-like juice in a jar, when drinking, take out a little and rinse it with boiling water.

The main reason for this production is that there was no refrigerator before, and good fruits could not be stored for a long time, so they were made into fruit concentrate, and they were placed for a long time, and slowly formed a unique flavor.

These are just a rough division, if you divide it in detail, there are cooked water, cold water and other good drinking products, according to the records, the Song Dynasty these drinks can add up to thousands of kinds, which shows the economic development of the Song Dynasty at that time.

It's a pity that the developed economy and the military power of the garbage led to the final tragedy, giving birth to a lot of absurd jokes and humiliating histories, sorghum and car gods, Jing Kang shame, and, if you don't mention it, you can talk about it.

But we can't choke on food, the development of the Song Dynasty is deformed, you can't completely deny the positive significance of commerce because of this, you must know that it is now the middle of the seventeenth century, and Britain will start the industrial revolution in more than a hundred years, we can't be complacent and fall behind.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng wants to lay a commercial foundation for Lantian in advance, Britain will start the industrial revolution after a hundred years, and he will start the industrial revolution now.

The development of civilization is like a snowball, one step behind, then it will be countless years behind, one step ahead will also lead countless years, especially the size of the Ming Dynasty, which is now beginning to rise, and when the Ming Dynasty invents it, he is the king of the world!

Li Chaosheng had the ambition to become the king of the world, and it was extremely strong.

Sometimes the general economic development can be seen from the one-sided side of a thing, and the people of Lantian have time to study and drink, and it can be seen that the economy here has reached a certain level.

"What do you have here?"

Li Chaosheng came to the door of the store at this time, and saw that the shopkeeper in the store turned out to be a woman, the woman was wearing a decent dress at this time, and when she saw a person who looked like a scholar standing at the door, she smiled and said: "What is the son drinking, look at this wall." ”

Li Chaosheng looked at the wall and saw that he had drunk a lot.

Sweet bean soup, bean water, black plum water, ginger honey water, lychee paste water, kumquat drink, perilla drink, plum blossom wine, and so on.

"Yo, you really have a lot of tricks."

Li Chaosheng glanced at it and said, the woman smiled when she heard this: "These are the recipes of the Song Dynasty recorded in the ancient books, I have tried to meet the taste of our Lantian people, I just added, and I have adjusted the ones that do not meet the taste." ”

Li Chaosheng listened and said: "Yes, I still know how to improve, the little girl is amazing." ”

Hearing this, the little girl glanced at Li Chaosheng strangely, this person doesn't look very old, how old-fashioned he is.

Li Chaosheng looked at the drink on the wall and said, "Bring me a kumquat drink, what do you want, come and order, I have a treat today." ”

Hearing this, several people from Guzi also came in, some asked for black plum water, some asked for sweet bean soup, and some asked for bean water.

It was ordered quickly, and after ordering, the little girl said to Li Chaosheng: "Are the sons and girls using it in the store, or are they taking it away and drinking?" ”

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "Is there anything particular? ”

The little girl said, "If you take it away and drink it, you will add five more cents to each cup." ”

"Oh, why is that?"

Li Chaosheng listened to the freshness, and then the woman took a bamboo tube and said: "Take it away and drink, you need to use this bamboo tube, and this reed pipe, this needs to be counted as money, if it is applied in the store, just use the bowl in my store, no additional charge." ”

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at the woman's bamboo tube and said, "Can you show me?" ”

The little girl immediately handed the bamboo tube to Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng looked fresh, is this an ancient disposable cup?

Li Chaosheng looked at the workmanship, the inside of the bamboo tube was obviously taken out, there was a lot of space, and a lid was made on it, and there was a hole in the lid, which happened to be inserted into a reed pipe.

This is really a whimsical idea, Li Chaosheng thought, at this time Gu Zi said: "This thing is made by the workshop of our Lantian Institute of Science and Technology, and the Mechanical Department of our College of Science and Technology invented a drilling and grinding machine, which was originally intended to be used to dig out the barrel of the steel, but the hardness was not enough, so I went back to improve, but the things made can't be wasted, some people think, it's not good to drill steel, isn't it okay to drill wood?" ”

"So this group of guys used this thing to make a lot of wooden bowls and pots, as well as this bamboo tube, I didn't expect it to be used by this little lady."

Gu Zi sighed on the side.

When Li Chaosheng heard this, he watched the woman make kumquat drink for herself.

Looking at it, I saw that the little girl actually took out the ice cube from the special cabinet on the side, which shocked Li Chaosheng at once, are the people of Lantian rich enough to eat ice in summer?

Gu Zi saw Li Chaosheng's doubts and said: "Cousin, don't be surprised, isn't this last year that we built more than a dozen ice cellars in Lantian, just take out the ice that was frozen last year and sell it, and it's not very expensive, this piece of ice can be bought for a penny." ”

"Now the weather is hot, there are ice sellers in many places, just at the top of the commercial street, there is a shop called Bingfang, which is a big customer of our ice cellar, he enters the ice from our ice cellar, cut it into cubes, sprinkle desserts such as honey and juice, and sell it for three cents a piece, but it is hot, and the children are shouting to eat his ice every day, and their ice is sold the best in the summer."

"A few days ago, the shopkeeper of their ice shop also found our ice cellar to make a big deal, they want to freeze the sugar water into ice cubes this winter, freeze 500 large pieces, and then cut it into small pieces to sell, so that there is no need to sprinkle honey."

Listening to Gu Zi's words, Li Chaosheng blinked, the sugar water froze the ice cubes, isn't this ice cream? And it is also the most common old popsicle in ice cream, don't say that as long as life comes up, the wisdom of the working people will follow, don't think that the working people are not smart, but in the past, the court limited the wisdom of the working people to the land.

As a result, the feudal dynasty lasted for two thousand years and remained unchanged, and did not bring essential improvement to the common people, and the Li Dynasty was born to change this.

Now the common people have their own commercial street, they can eat all kinds of food, they can drink mutton soup to sweat when they are cold, they can drink all kinds of drinks when they are hot, and there is even ice cream to eat.

If you are hungry, you can go to a top restaurant like Yuxian Lou to have a meal, and if it is too expensive, you can also go to the surrounding various home-cooked small fried food, and then it is too expensive to turn left on the commercial street, and there is a fresh market, at least spend 100 yuan to buy a big carp and go home to fight the tooth sacrifice.

The people's lives are rich and healthy, this is what Li Chaosheng wants to see, and every time he sees the smiling faces of passers-by on the street, Li Chaosheng feels a sense of accomplishment.

Compared with the people of Lantian, the Ming Dynasty, including people outside the Ming Dynasty, seems to be still living in a primitive society.

Outside Lantian, the rogues are still raging, the officials and soldiers are also robbing the people, and the people don't even have a decent mouthful to eat, and in some places the grass roots and bark are gone, and they are even eating people.

Looking at the Lantian food is enough, not only can every household be full, but even takeaway, now there is no one in Lantian who is not full, and the old Lantian people are not only studying how to eat enough, but also studying how to eat well.

Li Chaosheng did not object to the common people living a better life and eating more gorgeous food, in the past, only the landlords and gentry, and the food of the officials was gorgeous and abundant, which was called corruption.

But now most people in Lantian can eat better, more gorgeous, chicken, duck and fish can be served on the table of ordinary people, this is not corruption, but wealth!
