The struggle of the reborn prince

The Shangyuan Festival has just passed, the lanterns in the streets and alleys of Gongzhou Fucheng have not been removed, the flower sheds erected have not been dismantled, and the young men in front of the shops are lazily cleaning the rubbish discarded by the tourists in front of the doors, and the people walking in the streets The peddlers shouted weakly, and people seemed to have not recovered from the festive atmosphere.

Today is the first day after the New Year’s Eve. The magistrates of the counties under the jurisdiction of the prefecture, and the officials of all divisions and Caos gathered in the government office. After a few words of pleasantries, Chen Tang began to lecture, nothing more than loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Protect the environment and protect the people and other clichés and nonsense, and then turn to the topic.

This year, the tasks assigned by the superiors are heavy, and all taxes must be implemented. The reminders should be urged, and the counties must intensify their efforts, mobilize the top and bottom to come up with ideas, increase new taxes, reform the original rate, develop Economic hotspots, tap the potential of charging fees, ensure that the taxes and taxes in the first half of the year are completed in Beijing on time, and the state government's fiscal revenue exceeds half.

"My lord, a large amount of supplies have been transported into Dazhao Village these days. Can we set up a tax card?" Just as Chen Tang finished speaking, Wu Jinxian, the county magistrate of Xiangyi who had just taken office, stood up and said.

"Your head was kicked by the donkey, or caught by the door!" Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Chen Tang, the Zhizhou who was still full of elegance, changed his face and cursed loudly, which shocked the audience into silence.They didn't want to think about it. A few days ago, the eldest son of Cai Xiang's family took the prince's advice and borrowed [-] pennies of atonement money from him, but he had to wait for the year of the monkey to pay back. After arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, at the Prince's Mansion, can you not be angry when you hear that he has provoked Zhao Tong again?

"My lord, my officer..." Wu Jinxian was stunned, not knowing where he was wrong.

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

"It's under my jurisdiction!" Wu Jinxian answered quickly, opened his mouth, and cursed Chen Tang in his stomach, "You are nine hundred, you have to ask such a simple question in the lobby, and you think I am also nine hundred!" ! '(Nine hundred in the Song Dynasty = two hundred and five in modern times, I couldn't find it because of where)

"Hey, what Wu Zhixian said is quite right! Did you know that some strong men appeared recently?" Chen Tang said with a smile, but no matter how he heard it, it sounded like a sneer.

"I don't know, I'll send someone to destroy it immediately when I get back!" Wu Jinxian replied with a straight back. The Gongzhou Prefecture guarded the capital with [-] soldiers, but there are still strongmen. How did you become a magistrate? You have the nerve to ask me .

"Extermination?!" This time Chen Tang was furious. If he annihilated this group of strong men, I am afraid that all the nine clans present would be exterminated.

"Xiangyi County, you are so brave! If you want to die, don't implicate us all!" Before Chen Tang could speak, the judge became anxious, jumped up and cursed.

"Xiangyi County, please sit down quickly and don't talk any more..." a judge with a fairly good relationship with him pulled his lapel and said.

"Brother Hu, what's going on?" Wu Jinxian was at a loss now. The two governors in the state scolded him, as if he had robbed their little wives and jumped into a well with their children in their arms.

"Brother Wu, your news is too ill-informed. Big Zhaozhuang, Xiaozhaozhuang and the two surrounding Zhuangzi are all the Zhuangzi of the second prince, Prince Yan. He has been recuperating there for a year. It is often beyond common sense. I learned the way of robbing after watching a play during the Chinese New Year. I just robbed the imperial envoy who delivered the decree. It took this amount to put it back. Cai Xueshi’s head almost moved. Everyone can’t hide. Go and provoke him!"

"Thank you Brother Wu for your advice!" Wu Jinxian came down in a cold sweat after hearing this, and ran out with a slap in the face, "I hope there is still time, don't let them bump into the prince, Jade Emperor, Buddha bless..." He ran Talking about it, I spent thousands of pennies, stayed at home for several years, and finally found a real job. I just wanted to find a job when I ran into this unlucky boy. Everyone in the class seemed to understand his feelings. Everyone sighed. Shaking his head, he forgave his faux pas.

On the second day, the prefect of Gongzhou, who was incompatible with fire and water, and the amazing Tongju jointly issued an internal secret document, requiring officials and law enforcement personnel of all counties, towns, and townships not to approach Dazhaozhuang within a radius of ten miles unless necessary. If you enter, you must strictly pay attention to your words and deeds, behave appropriately, and use civilized language, especially for children under ten years old, be respectful and take precautions.

At the same time, a rectification team with Zhizhou as the team leader and Tong San as the deputy team leader was immediately established to station in Xiangyi County. Taking the opportunity of the Xiangyi County magistrate's almost causing a major political responsibility accident as an opportunity, a vigorous rectification campaign of "setting an example and grasping the typical" was launched. Movement, pay close attention to civilized law enforcement!

After the tenth day of the lunar new year, the Zhao family began to mobilize in an all-round way, set up a leadership team, assign duties, and formulate plans.The chief director of the project is Zheng Fu, the first manager, who is responsible for all relevant affairs on the construction site; the second manager, Zheng Lu, is in charge of purchasing the materials and tools needed on the site; drink well.Most of the small housekeepers and even handymen who knew a little about civil engineering were dispatched, leaving only a few people in the mansion to maintain the operation.

All the manpower and material resources in the mansion were invested in the project, and everything was kept simple during the Lantern Festival. On the [-]th, the water conservancy technicians invited from Yingtian Mansion were also in place, and the survey and design began. The stone, wood, and tools ordered years ago were delivered one after another. .The Zhao family is also happy, as long as the requirements are met, the transaction will be done in cash, without any arrears.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, strong men recruited from various villages drove into the construction site, and all the applicants arrived, and none of them took the money and ran away.According to the plan in advance, the stewards divided the strong men into several teams according to their specialties, and appointed prestigious people among them as foremen, and then assigned the tasks. Wages are deducted, but overtime is also required to make up for it.

Although the beginning of spring had passed at this time, it was still a dry season. The river was very shallow, and some places were still frozen with ice, which was convenient for construction.But time is tight, they have to build the dam before the first spring rain falls, otherwise everything will have to wait until after autumn to restart.

Everyone has a heart to repay their gratitude. The hosts paid their wages in advance when they were struggling last year to help them tide over the difficulties. The most direct beneficiaries of building embankments and canals are themselves. Besides, there are two full meals a day, which are still full of meat. , It is better than the food at home, so people can complete the tasks according to the plan regardless of their efforts.

After the project started as scheduled, Zhao Tun became the most leisurely person in the mansion. He was a cautious person, but also a person who let go. Since he didn't understand it, he left it to someone who knew how to do it. The ancients could build the Grand Canal. The completion of Dujiangyan shows that water conservancy technology has matured, and there is absolutely no problem in building a small dam. If you rely on your own knowledge of later generations to make blind ideas, it may be counterproductive.

What Zhao Tong has to do now is to listen to the report, check the progress of the project, and prepare 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 materials used in the project as an example. Because this place is located in a plain, there is no local production of stone materials, and building dams and roads requires a lot of stone materials. Everything needs to be purchased from outside and transported in. It can be said that the workload is huge, but he saw Zheng Lu just went to Yingtian Mansion to solve this seemingly difficult problem.

It turned out that merchants in the Song Dynasty established various chambers of commerce according to the characteristics of their own industries. Zheng Lu only needed to find a chamber of commerce specializing in stone materials, agree on the specifications and types of stone materials needed, negotiate a good price, and pay a deposit on the delivery location and date. Yes, the rest of the business chambers will come forward to contact the source of goods, the means of transportation, and deliver them to you on time.Just like the current various contractors, one-stop service, and absolutely professional.

"Then, can my wine shop also change the way of cooperation?" Zhao Tang couldn't sit still thinking about it, and walked around the room twice and said to himself.

He sent out the signal of shochu to the grandfather, which is actually purposeful. First, no one in his mansion is proficient in wine-making and fermentation technology, which is the first step to making good wine; second, wine-making has been strictly controlled in all dynasties. , the Song Dynasty was no exception, wine was sold by officials.If he cooperates with his grandfather, these will not be a problem, but his initial idea is to run the winery by himself, just give up the sales rights of some wines, and his grandfather is one of his agents.

Now Zhao Tang suddenly felt that he should change. It is one thing to brew wine, but another thing to sell it. The mansion itself lacks people, let alone such sales talents. Grandpa’s family has been making and selling wine for many years. With experience and strength, as well as a mature sales network, if I run a joint venture with him, I will soon be able to make a profit. I can also use this platform to train my own management talents and build my own team.

"Yes, just do it!" I didn't come into this world to be a slave to money. Money is just a tool for me. There are still many important things to do by myself. Why don't I use such a beneficial method? Zhao Tian made up his mind idea.

"Why hasn't Grandpa sent someone here? They don't believe it, or they think it's not profitable!" Zhao Tang suddenly found that he had decided to give others shares, but the rightful owner didn't come. Could it be that he put a hot face on a cold ass On it, Zhao Tun was confused.

"Impossible!" If shochu is really as rare as Zheng Quan said, grandpa 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. Do some business and earn a fortune for future generations...

Just as Zhao Tun was worrying about gains and losses in the room, thinking wildly, Jian Xi quickly ran in with his skirts in his hands and reported, "Your Majesty, the two uncles of the state have brought congratulatory gifts!"

"Oh!" Zhao Tang's face turned cloudy immediately, he really wanted to come here for whatever reason, just now he was afraid that they wouldn't come, but now two of them came here.
