Chapter 179 Opening (Part 2)
Seeing that something was wrong, Song Jiu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is the idea that I am thinking. It is like a mirror, which costs fifty cents and ten cents. The fruits with ten cents include bird's nests and bear's paws and other valuable ingredients. In fact, there are also thirty cents and fruits with thirty cents there, which tastes good. The main ingredients are different to meet the consumption of people of different levels. Your Majesty, please try it."
Song Jiu pointed at the two fruits and asked the waiter to take them out, saying, "Remember them in my account."
"What do you remember in your account?" Zhao Kuangyin was confused.
"Your Majesty, the country has its own rules, and here are its own rules. In order to avoid confusion in the accounts, the Wei Minister sets the rules that no matter who consumes, he must pay according to the rules, even if it is a contract stock. In this way, the accounts will be clear. This is just like the rules sent by officials to other places. If there is any relevant ministerial money, it must not exceed the scope of use of ministerial money, so as not to cause inconvenience."
"If there is no rule, no one will stand. What you say is quite similar to Zhao Qing."
"Your Majesty, how dare I compare with Mr. Zhao."
"You don't have to pay for it. You will take out the most expensive fruit, the moderate fruit and the cheapest fruit, and divide it with you, and then settle the accounts, and I will pay."
There were not many ministers who could come out with Zhao Kuangyin, only forty people. Zhao Kuangyin paid only a few hundred guan coins. There was no big problem. Song Jiu ordered the servants to take out the fruit from the glass cabinet and distribute it three by one. It might be the same. The taste of the fruit of ten guan coins is better than that of 30 guan coins. Liu Wensou held the fruit of ten guan coins and almost cried, saying, "Your Majesty, the old minister finally ate the cucumber that costs three guan coins and the fruit of ten guan coins each."
The other ministers bowed their heads together and were happy.
Old Liu is too harsh. Isn’t it just a ten-yuan chunk of money? As for being so excited?
Song Jiu felt something was wrong when he heard it. He hurriedly said, "Judge Liu, this is wrong. No matter how high or low Hezhou is, an important role it plays is..."
Song Jiu pointed to the Baiyu Bridge and said, "The first bridge built in Hezhou is a bridge. Hezhou itself is a large bridge. Glazed glass is very expensive from the big food, and it will soon become cheaper. Iron is expensive, and there is no good iron, and it will become cheaper in the future. Of course, some of them have become expensive, but there are reasons for it to be expensive. This is the first bridge and there is also the most important bridge. Why does a 50-cent mirror and a 30-cent fruit appear? It takes into account the common people. The actual profit is on the mirror and fruit of ten-cent money. It makes money from the rich.
The tax flow back to the country, and the country takes into account the poor people. Not to mention anything else, Weichen Hezhou has not opened yet, and he has paid more than 4,000 yuan in taxes. This one has an account to check, and will even pay 300,000 yuan in the next year. No need to be too much. If there are thirty or forty such bridges, will the country still need to collect taxes? Is it necessary to collect two taxes from poor farmers? Hezhou is good, there are several similar places in the capital, and there are various cities. It is not difficult to choose thirty-four such places, right?"
Zhao Pu is here, otherwise Song Jiu can say something. Is Hebei worse than Hezhou?
"Song Jiu, don't be rude. Liu Qing is a clean official."
"yes."
"But you don't have to be too careful. You have told me about Hezhou's intentions several times, and I understand." Zhao Kuangyin said again. Its main function is to take the lead and let everyone pay taxes to the court, but this cannot be said in depth. First of all, it is Zhao Pu. And now it is not important to pay taxes. What is important are Song Jiu's techniques.
The ceremony on the Hongqiao Bridge was over and we were ready to visit. Song Jiu first brought the monarch and ministers to the main store.
He was still very worried. Zhao Kuangyin spent only a few thousand yuan to build the Qianyuan Palace, so he was very happy. Of course, he was an official, so it was hard to say. Song Jiu said that Shangyang Palace in the Tang Dynasty spent 300,000 yuan, which was actually more than two or three times the price. Some statements were wrong, such as wood. Although ordinary wooden houses are not as expensive as bricks and tiles, how much large wood would Shangyang Palace use, and some beams weigh more than 10,000 kilograms. The vehicles damaged during transportation alone are immeasurable. In fact, if labor is included, the cost is far better than the main store.
Although the main store was gorgeous, the cost of glass was reduced, and the construction cost might not be so high. Moreover, the price of the Tang Dynasty at that time was better than the price at this time. Moreover, whether it was ore or steel, the court gave direct or disguised care. There is also an analogy. Lu Mengzheng had a meal and used a chicken tongue to cook. In order to satisfy his plate of dishes, he slaughtered hundreds of chickens every day. This luxury was that his luxury house cost less than 10,000 yuan. Teng Zongliang rebuilt Yueyang Tower without official money or civil money, but only asked the people who owed the court to donate money to build it. He only spent 9,000 yuan to build the Yueyang Tower. The price at that time was more than twice the price at this time.
Now the three projects in Hezhou do not include compensation, flatness, or even sewage pipes leading to Henan, as well as deposits for sucrose and milk, and the construction cost has reached 270,000 yuan. It is impossible to describe the luxury of the store as a magnificent.
After entering the main store, even these big guys were confused. If they didn't plan to open today, the curtains were all opened. The ministers touched the curtain tent with their hands. They were all high-quality silk, with velvet on it. There were sixty tables on it, each with thirty private rooms on it, and in the middle was a hall. Eight gorgeous large glass lamps were hanging. A curtain covered the high platform in the middle. There were four waterways across and vertically. There were railings, stone bridges, and copper edges with patterns on the edges. There were river water below, but it was just dark water. The waterways around had iron fences, two layers of glazed inside and outside, lotus flowers in the waterways, and sixty-four glass lamps in the shape of lotus flowers. But the only disadvantage was that the waterways were covered with a layer of glazed glass. Although it was transparent, Zhao Kuangyin asked: "Why are glazed glass covered?"
"Your Majesty, look at the glass in the waterway. Its function is to prevent mosquitoes and flies outside from coming in, but the glass inside can move. The reason why glass is set is to prevent the temperature from being regulated in winter and summer. If the waterway is opened, the temperature and temperature inside will be difficult to regulate."
“Control the temperature?”
"It is to use the height of the barrel car to deliver water to the top of the Shundian. If summer comes, put the ice into the pool and circulate it through the pipes inside the Shundian to appropriately lower some temperature. It is easier to heat up. Take the pipe from the kitchen room to the Shundian, and send the light charcoal monoxide to the outside through the air window. Hot air enters the pipes and sends it into the Shundian."
Zhao Kuangyin sighed and said, "This is the paradise on earth."
"Your Majesty..." Song Jiu said frowningly. Fortunately, he was smart. He heard outside shouting that Guozigui was expensive and took away all the recipes. Otherwise, these ministers would first beat their chests and stamp their feet when they saw the price of the recipes above.
"You don't have to worry, it is a bridge, and communication must play the role of a bridge."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I heard you rehearsed singing and dancing."
"Your Majesty wait," Song Jiu clapped his hands, and the uncle came over, and Song Jiu said, "Call the dancer to come and dance the Thousand-Handed Guanyin."
"Here." Uncle retreated.
Zhao Kuangyin sat on the chair and suddenly jumped up.
"Your Majesty, don't be surprised, there are some springs and cushions installed under it."
Zhao Kuangyin sat down again and told everyone to sit down together. This is a simple sofa. Although it is strange to sit on it, it must be more comfortable than a big chair. Liu Wensou also sat down and sighed deeply. He couldn't say it anymore. People have explained that it was to make money from the rich, and then use taxes to return the money to the court. What else can I say?
But everyone was surprised again. The singer and dancer came out, but not from the gate, but came out of the waterway by boat. They were paddling a boat under the glass. Two boats passed by Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but lean down to watch, and then laughed: "This is a good method."
"Your Majesty. There is another way. Look at the curtain. There is a lifting platform inside. If there are few people performing, you can land directly on the platform from the lifting platform, because the curtain is separated by, and everyone cannot see it."
"A 150,000 yuan tax, plus the commercial tax city tax, it is not easy, and you have also put your attention."
"Yes, I want to pay all the tax and let the Zhuqi shares get redemption. It's not okay without any thoughts."
The boat entered the lower part of the platform and couldn't see it. After a while, the curtain rose and the singing and dancing girls appeared on the platform. Although they knew there was a passage inside, everyone still felt it was very novel. The novel dance, novel clothes, and novel music... but it didn't matter. The dance itself was solemn and solemn, and it had great compassion. Zhao Kuangyin said: "A wonderful dance."
In fact, the Maiko has just been training for a while, and the person sitting opposite is the emperor, Maiko is a little nervous and her movements are deformed, but it is enough. Zhao Kuangyin said: "Who designed this dance?"
"Everyone worked together, and there were some ideas from the Wei ministers, some suggestions and guidance for improvements from the leaders, and some suggestions from the Yanei. "
"Work together, that's right, where's your wine?"
Song Jiu called his uncle to come over to serve the wine. A few beautiful girls brought wine utensils, and there were some exquisite patterns on it. This glass was just a work of art. The transparent and colorless high-altitude wine was poured in. Song Jiu poured wine for them himself. Not much, but only half a tael of wine was poured by one person. Lu Duan could do it, but he could not do it to knock Zhao Kuangyin down, that would be a big trouble.
This is the best wine distilled, not only strong, but also has a strong fragrance and sweetness. Even during the steaming process, Song Jiu asked the winemaker to put less honey and sugar in it according to the Song people's preferences, but its main feature is still the same, lie.
After taking a sip, Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed: "This is the good wine."
"Your Majesty, you must not eat too much, even half a pound can be intoxicating."
"I know, you're using it to heal the wound?"
"No, I also let the winemaker steam that winery. It is a very cheap sorghum wine that is distilled repeatedly, but it has a high degree and is not good at taste," Song Jiu asked the guard to ride a horse to the wine shop to pick up a bottle. He said, "It can be drunk, but it is for the treatment of injuries. If your Majesty urgently needs it, including the boric acid powder like Weichen, you can buy it appropriately."
"I can't afford it if it's expensive."
Dozens of ministers shook their heads together.
"No, if Your Majesty wants, you can buy one pound for twenty cents."
"really?"
"Your Majesty, some money cannot be made, such as education. Therefore, the book of Weichen only costs 600 cents, and the manager complains, but he doesn't understand. There are also treatments for death, helping the wounded, disaster relief, and helping the poor. In the end, there are a few pieces of money that cannot be made, which is the moral limit of Weichen." Song Jiu originally wanted to say that the prostitutes could not be made, but Zhao Chengzong was very happy to make money. Zhao Pu was there, so he couldn't say it.
"Why can't I see much gold?" Zhao Kuangyin looked up at the brown chandeliers and asked strangely.
"After the Qingyi case, the Weichen felt aggrieved, and all the colors are avoided, and gold is used less. The numbers cannot be touched, and a dragon and a phoenix in the pattern cannot be used. Everything in Hezhou can be rich, fun, luxurious, but not noble."
"Song Jiu, there is not a Jiu in your name!" Zhao Kuangyi shouted.
"Yes, your Majesty, or you give me a name for me."
"Second brother, don't scare him. This name is good. If I give it, I will give you this name."
After the dance, the maiden girl went down, and the guard brought a bottle of high-altitude wine to heal the wound. Song Jiu carefully poured a little for everyone, not much, one or two coins. Just a little wine, many ministers almost drank it and vomited it. Chu Zhaoxiong shouted, "This is fire, how can it be wine."
"Chu Interpouse is the strong that it can kill bacteria. After a while, when Weichen settles down, he will slowly shrink the mirror that can see far away, and invent a mirror that can enlarge and enlarge things of hair into the same thickness as a tree trunk. Everyone can see this bacteria. However, it is too difficult to test it out because it is backward."
"Don't worry, you can take it slowly." Zhao Kuangyin took another sip and said, "Although it is strong, it is also a good wine. I am worried that if I come to the army, I will not come to treat the wounds, but the soldiers will drink it secretly."
This is called "happy" is really happy, especially for people like Zhao Kuangyin who likes to drink, who have good alcohol tolerance. Generally, wine cannot satisfy his hobbies. This 70-degree wine is a steel-steel wine, but he shouts excitedly.
A few people came to the top floor, and there were sixteen tables on the top floor. In fact, the entire Shun Store table was less than half as high as the No. 1 store, and it could also be increased, but the space would inevitably be compressed and it would not show luxury. Moreover, it is not a popular route. It should not be full of real boutique routes every day. As long as you sit one-third of the customers, you will make a big profit.
