Chapter 22: Not a single bottle was sold
Shortly after Li Wenqian left.
Zhou Qi took back Wu Huanian's life information from the ministry.
"Your Majesty."
"Wu Huanian's resume over the years, as well as the details of Wolong County's accounts, are here."
Zhou Qi put all the things in front of Li Anmin, and then said, "Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?" If not, the old slave will go to give His Majesty a drink. β
"I'll go back later."
Li Anmin pointed to the mountains of folds in front of him and said: "I have a lot of government affairs piled up here, you read these resumes to me, and by the way, you can also understand this person." β
"Oh, good."
Zhou Qi didn't say much, picked up Wu Huanian's resume and began to read it.
"Wu Huanian, born in the thirteenth year of Yongchang, Qingzhou, Wolong County."
"Both parents died in the war, and they were helpless since they were young, relying on the help of their fellow villagers and elders."
"When I was seventeen years old, I suddenly applied for the township examination and successfully passed the examination."
"Joan of Arc participated in the examination in the second year, ranked sixth in the first list of the middle and junior science department, and then applied to return to his hometown to serve as a ......"
"Wait!"
Li Anmin interrupted him and said with a frown: "He was born in the thirteenth year of Yongchang? He was admitted to the Jinshi in the second year of Joan of Arc? β
"Yes, that's what it says."
When Zhou Qi said this, he also paused, bowed his head and carefully read his resume again, and the surprise in his heart was beyond measure.
From the thirteenth year of Yongchang to the second year of Joan of Arc, no more, no less, exactly seventeen years.
This guy was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of seventeen?
You must know that in contemporary times, I don't know how many people have passed the age of sixtieth and have not been able to see the gate of the test.
But this guy was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of seventeen, and he was also the sixth in the first list.
Li Anmin narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised: "Genius, really genius!" β
"At the age of seventeen, I was a high school jinshi."
"Throughout my history, there is only one such one."
Li Anmin waved his hand and said, "Keep reading!" β
"Yes!"
Zhou Qigang wanted to continue to speak, but suddenly paused.
"What's wrong?"
Li Anmin looked at him inexplicably.
"No, no."
Zhou Qi shook the small notebook in his hand.
"Then read the accounts of Wolong County."
Thinking of the abundant fields and a large number of merchants in Wolong County, Li Youan couldn't help but look forward to it.
With the scale of Wolong County, how much tax revenue do you have to contribute to yourself?
"Eastern Qingzhou, Wolong County."
"There are 236 registered households, with a total of 1,769 people."
"Two hundred and sixty-nine registered merchants, and Joan of Arc has eight years of output taxes, six hundred and seventy-eight two thousand six thousand two wen!"
"In the registered field, more than 6,200 acres, Joan of Arc produced grain in eight years, 18,165 stone ......"
In the end, the smile on Li Anmin's face was completely frozen.
Li Anmin raised his eyes to look at Zhou Qi and said, "Are you sure you didn't take it wrong?" Is this really the ledger of Wolong County? β
Wolong County.
The registered population is 236 households, 1,769 people.
Is this meow a fool?
What they saw in the morning market in Wolong County alone was far more than that.
And that's not to mention, what two hundred and sixty-nine merchants, this is pure nonsense.
Others may not know, but he has checked it door to door.
On the central street in Wolong County alone, there must be seven or eight hundred shops.
Even if this thing is used to fool the ghost, the ghost doesn't believe it.
Seeing Li Anmin's gloomy face, Zhou Qi swallowed his saliva and said: "Yes, these are all recorded by the household department, and until now Wolong County has been classified as a poor county." β
"And at the beginning of this year, after discussion with the Ministry of Households, they were exempted from taxes for three years."
"Bold!"
Li Anmin suddenly burst out and said angrily: "This damn thing! β
Li Anmin was furious.
Deceived and deceitful, is this not an appropriate deception!
If you don't pay taxes, you don't provide food, where does the money go?
The money for the construction of the county government comes from here, right?
Zhou Qi was silent for a while, and said: "Or, the minister will leave to go to Wolong County again and bring Wu Huanian back?" β
Li Anmin did not reply immediately.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Don't use it for the time being, just wait for a while and go to Wolong County again." β
Zhou Qi sighed darkly.
It seems that His Majesty still can't make up his mind to punish this cunning villain.
"That's right!"
"You will go and call the bad people in charge of the vicinity of Qingzhou and the governor of Qingzhou to the capital later."
Li Anmin said with a gloomy expression: "I want to ask them in person, that is, how to help me supervise the world." β
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhou Qi slowly retreated.
Sit in the main hall.
Li Anmin's expression was particularly gloomy.
Seriously, at that moment just now, he had killed Wu Huanian's heart.
He has been an emperor for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.
β¦β¦
The next few days.
The whole Shangjing City was busy.
Not only did the officials send a large number of manpower to survey the terrain and repair the roads in various places in Shangjing.
There are even Jin Wuwei's armor soldiers shuttling through various alleys to repair people's houses.
When the people saw this posture, they were a little confused.
"What's going on with these military masters of Jin Wuwei? Why did you suddenly remember to help us repair the house? β
"I don't know, yesterday the officials came to my house, saying that the ditch in front of my house was too big, and I needed to lay a stone slab."
For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the capital, but no one knew what was going on.
And the other side.
Zhou Qi was not idle, and directly hung up the brand selling wine.
And then......
For three days in a row, except for a lot of saliva at the threshold, not a single bottle of wine was sold.
this day.
Li Anmin had nothing to do, and he also paid a private visit to Weifu, and came to the newly opened winery with Zhou Qi to inspect.
I didn't even wait to get in the door.
I saw a man who spat at the door: "Bah! What is it, a bottle of wine dares to sell for two hundred taels of silver, why not grab money? β
ββ¦β¦β
The corners of Zhou Qi's mouth twitched, and he turned to look at Li Anmin and said, "Your Majesty, look at this ......"
"It's okay, he just doesn't know the goods!"
Li Anmin raised his head slightly and strode into the winery.
The dΓ©cor of the winery is very ordinary.
It looks like it should have been remodeled from a small shop like a grain number.
Not to mention that compared with the winery where Wu Huanian stayed, even compared with the big wineries in the capital, it is a lot shabby.
And the people who are responsible for selling goods here are spies of bad people.
Seeing the two of them coming in, they saluted one after another: "Knock on Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief......"
"Excuse me!"
Li Anmin waved his hand and walked straight to the side and sat down.
The spies hurriedly brought tea and waited beside them.
And look at the empty shops, and the drinks that are almost dusted.
Zhou Qi looked bitter: "Your Majesty, why don't we reduce the price, it's been three days, and not a single bottle of wine has been sold." β
