Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 349 Closing the Roast Shop
Zhang Yang said that if he can solve it, he can solve it.

Shen Sanwen was responsible for creating opportunities for him to stay in Luoyang.

As for the army, we can only wait for the opponent to do it first.

If it is a bright gun, you can use public opinion and knowledge to persuade. Although it is difficult, the opponent can see and feel it. Every link of the upper and lower levels of the opponent can be understood, and you can use your interests to impress and divide the opponent.

But the hidden arrows still don't know where the source is, so they can only wait for the other side to be exposed, and then use thunderous means to suppress bloody.

Shen Sanwen didn't want to be a butcher, so he could avoid such things that would inevitably see blood.

The long-rooted spirit of the rule of law in his heart made him unwilling to touch these things.

As the Turks and the Great Zhou became more and more connected, many Turkic specialties also appeared in the Luoyang market, the most important of which was cumin powder.

Naturally, it is a must-have spice for barbecue, but it has not been available in Dazhou for a long time. Most of the barbecue uses other spicy seasonings. The spicy taste will cover up the aroma of the meat, or the spiciness is not enough at all, and the taste is too light. It is better to eat What about steamed meat?

Since Turkic cumin crops were introduced to Dazhou, Shen Sanwen ordered people to plant them extensively.

Nowadays, grinding cumin into powder and seasoning it with barbecue is already a very popular way of eating in Luoyang.

Pepper is also required.

Thanks to these seasonings, Luoyang's catering industry is becoming more and more prosperous.

However, the craft of barbecue is not simple.

It is necessary to roast the hard and fishy meat until it is soft on both sides and cooked in the middle, and the aroma of some seasonings is also roasted into the ingredients. It is very difficult to control the heat and the hardness of the ingredients.

Shen Sanwen planned to go to Luoyang's time-honored brand, Xianwei Barbecue Square to buy.

He can probably eat at this restaurant three times a year, which is not too much, because Luoyang still has a lot of things to do, but it can make him never forget, and there are not many shops in Luoyang that he goes to every year.

Shen Sanwen traveled lightly and arrived at the door of the barbecue restaurant located in the prime location of the West Market, only to find that the store was closed in broad daylight.

Such a good taste can't keep it open, right?

But there is no one around the shop waiting for business.

Or did the lack of the right ingredients put the chefs out of business?
Shen Sanwen approached a small shop nearby, "Old man, what's the matter with the shop next door, has the boss quit?"

An old man with a fluttering white beard and a kind face in the small shop: "Ah? I didn't catch what you said."

Shen San asked loudly, "Is the shop next door closed?"

Only then did the old man suddenly realize that this was the problem, "Oh, the store next door has not obtained the certificate of the Shibo Department, so it can't be opened. It will take at least half a month before it can open."

"Why?" Shen San asked again.

"Because it's slow. The owner of this barbecue shop is an honest man. It's slow to follow the formal process."

Formal process?

"How about the irregular process?" Shen San asked loudly.

The old man was startled, and quickly stopped, "Young man, don't say this so loudly, it's not good."

Don't talk about it either.

Shen Sanwen didn't want to listen.

The informal process is to send some meat to those in the yamen for the caretaker to take care of.

The Son of Heaven doesn't dare to accept money or cloths, but give some food to satisfy his hunger, and it will be gone after eating, who knows?
There is no evidence either.

It's still a butcher shop, the honest shop owner doesn't understand the process.

Shen Sanwen went straight home.

If he opened a store in the Tang Dynasty, he would probably have to manage these things, but now how he looks at it, he feels awkward.

Didn't the emperor send them money?Also charge double.

Half a month is so long, the rent, the money for the land occupied by the market, the psychological expectations of customers, if you don’t buy it, you think it’s closed and you might never come back again. What else do you earn?
Shen San asked how to get someone to find the Shipbuilding Department.

People in the market should hand in the new rent within seven days before the rent money expires. The government servants will check the amount of money and the address of the shop within three days, and then hand it over to the master, who will then pay according to the payment of the land. Taxes, profits and the current tax rate policies and measures, after seven days, notify the shop owner of the new rent, which shall not increase by more than [-]%. If the shop owner does not renew the lease, he will get the rent back. The master reported the data to the boss, and seven days later, the boss used a seal to obtain a formal one-year document and issued the document to the shop owner.

The process is not complicated, but the delay will be very long.

Although the Dongxi City is prosperous, it doesn't take much time.

It’s just that scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are always the last to wait. Especially single households often have no family support, and they can’t find high-ranking officials to rely on. It will be extremely difficult to obtain this certificate every year.

They can only endure this kind of difficulty.

If you are more knowledgeable and know how to manage up and down, you don't need to spend a lot of money, and you can get a certificate very quickly.

However, the blue sky and scorching sun brighten the world, this is an expense that should not be paid.

There are always strong men who are not willing to do these things, especially the vague justice and truth that are shouted out in slogans in various books of the Ministry of Education.

There will be more and more people like this in the future.

On the one hand, Shen Yi promotes the values ​​of truth, goodness and beauty in books and literature, and on the other hand, when they deal with everything, they have to face fake, ugly and evil.

What's the use of more publicity?

It will only make adults feel that books are naive, make ordinary people feel that life is miserable and look forward to the afterlife, and it will also make children doubtful when facing books and the real world.

What is this world like?
Shen Yi felt that he should give himself a pseudonym Zhou Shuren, and satirize those double-dealers with the most pungent blade.

On the one hand, he is a righteous and modest gentleman.

While stealing, raping, cheating, eating, drinking and extorting bribes, these merchants have to personally beg them to accept them.

It's disgusting.

Now, the mood of eating barbecue is gone, and the mood of roasting people is up.

Shen San asked to go to the Shipbuilding Department, intending to understand their workload, to see if it was true, as many memorials said, that they worked without sleep for seven days, and there was no way to make a decision on these matters.

It is also due to his special status, being a member of the emperor, and having the duty of admonishing him, he can control everything.

The Shibo Department is located at the end of the East City, and the yamen servants are sitting listlessly in front of a few desks and guessing fists.

"Are you busy with work?" Shen Sanwen walked in and asked.

The yamen servant didn't even turn his head, and pointed to the front, "I'm busy, don't you see, where should I sit and wait?"

At this time, the yamen servant who looked up and saw Shen Sanwen's face changed, and quickly pushed the person who just spoke.

The color of clothes worn by the people of the Tang Dynasty is not purple or red unless they are expensive, and yellow is not allowed to be worn by people who are not direct relatives of the royal family.

Businessmen can only wear gray and black, and if there are officials in the family, they can wear other colors.

Shen Sanwen was wearing a purple robe today.

Ordinary people will take a step back when they see it.

However, there are no nobles from the Shibo Department all the year round, most of them are businessmen. When did this group of government officials think of this?
