Jiangnan is a water town, so the people of Suzhou have a long history of relationship with fish, and they have been good at using fish to do things since ancient times.

As early as 2,000 years ago, in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the famous case of assassinating Wu Wangyi was to use fish to kill people.

Nowadays, the city of Suzhou and the surrounding towns and villages in Daming Dynasty have a settled population of up to one or two million, and the economy is prosperous, it is the world's most developed area, and the consumption demand for fish products is naturally huge.

Taihu Lake, which has a vast water area, is only more than 30 miles away from Suzhou City, and is an important fishery production area, and there are tens of thousands of boat households in the counties around the lake.

In this era when there is no cold chain technology, most fish can only be sold nearby, and if you want to eat fresh, of course, the transportation distance should not be too long.

From Taihu Lake to Suzhou City, the shortest transportation route is from Xukou Town by the lake along the Xujiang River to the east, which can lead directly to Xumen.

Hengtang Town is the closest town node to Suzhou City on this transportation route, and there are more than ten miles to the east to Xumen and Nanhao.

Moreover, there is the North-South Grand Canal passing through Hengtang Town, and you can reach the extremely prosperous Fengqiao Shangtang and Huqiu Shantang area to the north, and the traffic conditions are very convenient.

Therefore, here at the south wharf of Hengtang Town, a large-scale fish market has been formed, which is mainly wholesale, and there is very little retail, which is a good tax source, so the yamen has turned this place into an official market.

The Daming Yamen is a "small government" model, and the fish market was handed over to Anle Hall, which is also in Hengtang Town.

In the final analysis, watching the fish market is like going to the countryside to collect money and grain, or working for the yamen.

In the fish market, there are three members of the bottom of the Fish Market, known as the Fish Market Trio, who are responsible for the day-to-day affairs.

An old man surnamed Tang is responsible for taking care of fish buckets, collecting fees, and keeping accounts because he can write numbers and is proficient in addition and subtraction within a hundred.

The other two young men were two brothers, named Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu, who were responsible for maintaining order and mediating disputes.

The fish market was about the same size as the larger vegetable market in later generations, with a simple fence of rough wooden fences and a large wharf.

A lot of fresh fish is stored on the boat, and the customer is found on shore and the price is negotiated before it is transported to the land for delivery.

Most of the fish that are directly placed on land are reprocessed, such as dried fish and salted fish, which are piled up in baskets and sold at will.

Lin Tailai, the newly appointed head of the Anletang Fish Market, covered his nose and walked around the turf full of fishy smell.

Then Lin Tailai walked to the upwind outlet outside the fence and took a few steps away from the fish market before he put down his hand and began to breathe freely again.

After relieving himself, Dr. Lin sighed to himself: "I thought I got a script for selling fish, but it turned out to be a script for the market administrator. ”

The two brothers, Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu, looked at Lin Tailai with admiration on their faces, and said: "I heard that Lin Wutou broke up with Yitang Wu Yikui, so Mr. Zhang in the county made the decision to divide the treasure land of Yidu to Anle Hall to take care of."

Our brothers all thought that Lin Wutou would go to fight all the country, but they didn't expect that a warrior like you would come to the fish market!

Could it be that the key development direction after Tangkou is the fish market and wharf? ”

Lin Tailai frowned, "Don't call me Wu Tou, this name is too ugly." ”

The two Zhang brothers asked suspiciously: "But this is the rank stipulated by the hall, otherwise what should I call it?" ”

Lin Tailai instructed: "My position can be called a sitting hall, a fish market sitting hall!" ”

The two brothers were stunned together, "Sitting? Isn't that what it means to teach in someone else's home? This title is not in accordance with the rules of the church......"

Lin Tailai squinted at the two brothers and moved his knuckles, "I don't know what the rules are, but I am a person who likes elegance, please call me Dr. Lin in the future." ”

This title can be regarded as a kind of thought of Lin Tailai in his previous life.

In ancient times, the doctor was the meaning of a learned person, and it was also a kind of official in the imperial court, but this era has been abused by the people, and those who open teahouses and sell tea are called tea doctors.

It's like the edict of Hanlin, which is also used as a title by all kinds of folk craftsmen. Later, after having the business of shaving his head and cutting his hair, even Mr. Tony called him an edict.

Therefore, the title of "Dr. Lin" is also circulated among the people, and it does not make the two brothers of the Zhang family too unusual.

Anyway, in the fish market, which is really one acre and three points of land, it is the boss who has the final say, and he can call it whatever he likes.

If the name is not right, it is not good, and after Lin Tailai confirmed his name, he asked: "Besides, what is the flow of this fish market?" ”

Zhang Wen replied: "We can collect a hundred taels of silver a year, half of which will be handed over to the county treasury and half to Tangkou, and we will have to ask Old Man Tang in detail." ”

Depend on! Dr. Lin couldn't help but scold the street, in other novels, silver is like papier-mâché, thousands of people go in and out.

In the reality I faced, dozens of taels or hundreds of taels sounded like a huge amount of money, and I had to hand them all over.

It's not that Dr. Lin is greedy for money, it's just that according to today's world, how can he go to the imperial examination without money? He Dr. Lin is not a genius, and he can rely on hard power to be real.

The county examination is equivalent to the primary school graduation examination, the government examination is equivalent to the high school entrance examination, the road examination is equivalent to the college entrance examination, and the admission to Xiucai is equivalent to being admitted to the university.

Then the township examination is equivalent to taking the national examination after graduating from university, and the general examination is equivalent to the internal selection examination of the system.

Even if it is only a county test that is equivalent to a small promotion, even if Zhang Liangshu is really willing to help, there is a high probability that he will find the master of the county to talk about the item, and the county will not directly participate in the transaction.

According to the rules of the industry, even if the master nods, he must send it with some heart! This money is all up to Dr. Lin himself!

"It's better to hurry up and generate income." Lin Tailai sighed, the atmosphere of the world in the late Ming Dynasty is no longer good, and it is really inseparable from money to make a name for yourself.

It is not only the county examination for the junior high school entrance examination, but also for the future high school entrance examination and college entrance examination.

Only by being admitted to Xiucai can it be considered relatively safe in this society, which is equivalent to becoming a legitimate representative of public opinion.

Lin Tailai looked at the fish market with a complicated expression, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, so what about relying on the fish market?

Seeing that the newly appointed boss didn't speak for a while, Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu took the initiative to ask: "What else do you have to say to sit in the hall?" ”

"Awen Awu, I want to eat fish." Dr. Lin said lightly.

Thanks to a lot of experience in reading films, several ideas of bullying and dominating the market have flashed in my mind.

Dr. Lin didn't want to make money like this, but now he understands what it means to be "in the rivers and lakes, but not by himself".

That's it, it's a big deal to start lightly, and it should contribute to the standardized management level of the Ming market.

Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu responded together, and said very positively: "I'll wait until I go to the merchant to ask for a few of the freshest and fattest ones, so that you can eat all you can eat in the restaurant!" I just don't know what kind of fish I like to sit in? ”

Lin Tailai said with a smile: "If you talk about the favorite, of course, it is the yellow croaker, the big yellow croaker and the small yellow croaker, we all like it!" ”

The two brothers were suddenly embarrassed, "Yellow croaker is a sea fish, there is only a fish market in Changshu County in the north, and we are all lake fish and river fish here." ”

Another person in the fish market trio, Old Man Tang appeared behind Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu at some point, and scolded for Lin to sit in the hall: "Stupid death for you two!" ”

The two brothers suddenly realized that they wanted to make money while sitting in the museum? Do you still want to take them with you?

Old man Tang was in charge of the charges, and he couldn't leave for a while just now, so he hurried over to accompany the new boss.

After scolding the two brothers, the well-informed Old Man Tang said to Lin Tai: "If you want to eat more fish in the restaurant, it may not be easy."

The fish sellers also echoed each other, and there were also fish tyrants inside, who made a big fuss together, and they couldn't be suppressed by the manpower of Tangkou. ”

There are only a few dozen people in the community who can afford to be raised in Anletang, and they often go to the countryside to collect money and food. If you suddenly encounter a sudden group incident, it is not necessarily who hits whom.

The trio are at the fish market, and most of the time, they just do things in the name of the government.

In the face of the newly acquired younger brother, Lin Tailai was very theoretically agitated and said: "My business tax in the Ming Dynasty is too small, why is the farmer tax so heavy, and the commercial tax so light?"

We are in a position where we should pay taxes evenly for the sake of heaven! ”

Old Donal: "......"

Dr. Lin, are you sure that this slogan is not intended to start an uprising?

The trio of the fish market looked at each other again, feeling a little lacking in confidence.

Lin Tailai encouraged everyone and said: "In the implementation, as long as we can convince people with morality, move people with reason, and move people with emotion, we will definitely succeed!"

Don't worry, I have my own rules and regulations, and I will take care of the top and bottom of the mouth! Come on, life will be sweeter and sweeter! ”

Then Lin Tailai instructed: "But wait a few days, and we will have dinner together tonight."

Do whatever you have to do, and I'll go to the blacksmith shop in town to prepare. ”

Old Man Tang said suspiciously, "What to prepare for going to the blacksmith shop?" ”

Lin Tailai replied truthfully: "Build some handy soldiers...... What, otherwise how to eat fish? ”

Fish Market Trio: "......"

Is this to convince people with virtue, move people with reason, and move people with emotion?

Looking at the back of Dr. Lin sitting in the hall, Old Man Tang sighed: "The rivers and lakes of this acre and three points of land, I'm afraid that it will be bloody again!" ”

The Zhang brothers were a little excited and eager to try.
