Chapter 221 Looking around, impossible

"Long Lao said that it was not the case, but that it was because officials did not act, were afraid of offending others, and colluded with each other to hide it, which led to such a situation. Within a hundred years, it has become a common practice."

"If we investigate seriously, none of the powerful families will have a clean butt!"

Zhang Fangping smiled bitterly and said: "Mingrun, your Longshan chief is a person in the opposition, and you can speak without any scruples. If we steal the jobs of powerful people in Sichuan today, we will not be able to leave this government office tomorrow. Do you believe it?"

"

Su You smiled and said: "Believe it! The powerful are also the people of the Song Dynasty, and the government cannot be too harsh and harsh. They can allocate special funds to gradually buy back the land in their hands."

Zhang Fangping smiled and said: "It's easy to put it. If you want to buy it, others will be willing to sell it?"

Su You said: "We won't sell it because there is still profit to be made. If the national system is declared, each family's tax-free land is approved and verified, and the extra tax is paid according to regulations, the land will become a hot thing in the hands of the powerful. No

There is huge profit to be made but nothing comes of it, so why don’t they sell it? Why do the people still want to invest in it?”

Zhang Fangping still shook his head: "If the powerful have no profit, they will be mean to the people and pass the losses on to the people. This is the tragic situation that happened in Tuijing. Things are back to the starting point."

Su You said: "Therefore, this process must be combined with the source of open source, cutting off the old sources without opening new ones. That is like using blockage to control the flood, which overflowed the nine provinces even though Yao and Shun could not stop it."

Zhang Fangping had an unbelievable look on his face: "Seeing that Mingrun is so confident, does he actually have another plan to open up money?"

Su You cupped his hands and said: "Ming Gong, open source is actually very simple. The difficulty lies in how to benefit the country after open source, instead of becoming the capital of powerful men and women like land. This is what Ming Gong should think about.

"

"The king will lose his country if he doesn't keep it secret, and the minister will lose his family if he doesn't keep it secret. This matter is so closely related that it can only be discussed in a secret room. I'm afraid I can't go into detail today."

Zhang Fangping's face turned red and white, and he was inexplicably surprised. He looked at Su You up and down, and he really couldn't believe that this guy had another way to open the source.

Su You leaned close to his ear and whispered three words: "Prisoner Fushun."

Zhang Fangping's beard trembled: "You mean... there is another... uh, good place?"

Su You stepped aside and nodded slightly.

Zhang Fangping laughed, turned to Su Xun and said, "I've been having a lot of fun these days. Don't worry, Mingyun. I'll take good care of Mingrun when he's in Chengdu. It's just a matter of saying hello to the academy."

After saying that, his fingers were oily: "I see that this son is fresh and happy, and I agree with you about the rubbing of the Thirteen Sutras of the Academy!"

Su Shi was so happy that he clapped his hands: "Okay! I knew Uncle Yao must have a way!"

Zhang Fangping couldn't help laughing: "Well, that's right, your little uncle is making a lot of money!"

Su You rolled his eyes, he was another shameless old man, this transfer of benefits, if spread out properly, would be worth at least several million strings. This is the most expensive rubbing in the world, no one!

The country of Shu is rich and common, but its customs are frivolous and superficial.

Extravagant and arrogant, and crazy about entertainment.

The Hongqiao spits out flying springs, and the smokey willows close the Zhu Pavilion.

The shadows of candles and stars are sinking, and the songs are falling and the moon is setting.

The number of cockfights exceeds one million, and Huluzong is a big gimmick.

The wandering girl has a white jade necklace, and the proud horse has a golden collar.

The wine shops are open at night, and the flower market is getting late in spring..."

Chengdu is one of the few large cities in the country and an important commodity distribution center. Its tax revenue is second only to Bianjing and Hangzhou.

"With the flow of two rivers, it is the gathering place of a capital. At the four ministries and prefectures, thousands of merchants form a great abyss."

The commercial tax alone is 170,000 guan, which is only 2,000 guan behind Hangzhou, ranking third aggrievedly.

Merchants traveling from north to south gathered here, and many simply settled down in Chengdu, changing from doing business to doing business.

At the same time, many literati and poets also came here because of its reputation, which added to the color of life in the city.

This is a veritable water city with intertwined rivers, criss-crossing water alleys, connected bridges, and shadows of boats.

The river connects the Maha Pond, Jiangdu Pond, Wansui Pond and other lakes. The West Garden is the most famous official garden in the Song Dynasty, and the West Tower is the most famous pavilion in the West Garden.

These places are open to tourists on a regular basis, which further encourages Chengdu people to enjoy amusement.

"With ten miles of bead curtains rolled up, the scenery of Shaocheng is like that of Yangzhou."

The dignitaries are bored and enjoy themselves all day long. They go to the market and watch sideshows all day long, or they sit on the boat and look at the street scene.

In the Song Dynasty, there was no curfew. At night, it became more lively, and the nightlife of drinking, feasting and singing was very popular.

Even the prefect is not exempt from vulgarity. Every time there is a big market, he has to go up to the building to watch the night view and arrange banquets. Otherwise, he is pretending to be aloof and old-fashioned. We Chengdu people don't like such an official!

This has long been a trend and there is no reason to say it.

As soon as evening comes, men and women go out in groups.

"Jinjiang Night Market has three drums in a row, and Shibao Study Room has five drums."

Night markets are mainly concentrated in places such as Jinjiang River, Daci Temple, Qingyangsi and Wumenlou.

There are always people on the Jinjiang River at night. Lanterns and candles are as bright as day, and the river reflects the colorful lanterns and twinkles with the waves.

The stalls at the night market are lined up, offering a variety of dried and fresh fruits, fragrant drinks, meat and vegetable balls, beef and goat cheese, tripe soup... everything you need.

The main entertainment venues at that time were called Wasi, Washe or Goulan. People drank tea, chatted, played cards, gambled, set up dragon gate formations, watched plays, and watched juggling there...

If you are a foreigner and first come to Chengdu, you can go to the legendary four major cities during the day and go to the nearby Washi to have fun at night.

While walking, I watched the lanterns hanging high on the towers and listened to the sounds of mahjong and cockfights coming from the houses along the road.

Passing by Goulan, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music is endless, and before you know it, you will be walking until the middle of the night, and then find a place to get in, drink wine, and eat supper.

"The lanterns in the small market are beginning to show up, and the drums in the high-rise buildings are already spreading."

In the Song Dynasty, Chengdu's wine sales ranked first in the country. There was no wine industry. Not only did it produce a lot of wine, but there were also many people selling and drinking wine. It could be said that there was music and entertainment every day.

The entrance of the restaurant is decorated with festive colorful strips and lanterns are hung. The winding corridor inside is spacious and gorgeous, and there are also small rooms.

The ladies in the restaurant all wore heavy makeup, and under the candlelight, they "looked like gods".

Of course, Su You sneered at this so-called "restaurant" that sells dog meat over sheep's heads. He didn't study the fine wines and dishes carefully, so he called them "restaurants" in a mess!

So while San Su was wandering around the city looking for beauties, Su You was in the secret room plotting with the old man.

I am a gentleman, I just opened up a source of profit, and my purpose is to serve the people of central Sichuan!

The conspiracies and schemes are all done by the old man and have nothing to do with me!

He insisted on dragging me around to ask questions, and even asked Mingrun what he thought if nothing happened, so I was just forced to participate!

I am innocent too! I also want to go to the streets to look for beautiful women!

However, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious, and it is impossible to defeat someone. The next day, Zhang Fangping led Su You to the warehouse of the Accounting Courtyard of the Transshipment Envoy: "Then let's hurry up. Mingrun, please help Lao Zhang collect all the money he has collected over the years."

Clean up the accounts."

Su You was about to cry when he looked at the two rooms full of account books: "I knew... I knew something was wrong... You tested Zi Zhan Ziyou on writing articles, but you tested me on mathematics. This is the purpose..."

Zhang Fangping twitched his beard and smiled: "The old accountant of the Su family, who is the supervisor of the Yizhou Transportation Department, has praised your new accounting method to the sky. I tried it with you a few days ago and it is indeed good, so let's do it...

"

Su You said: "I...I don't understand accounting..."

Zhang Guangou came over with a smile: "Without any trouble, young master, just teach everyone how to register, and then help us verify the calculation results."

Su You raised his hand: "I still need help!"

The helpers are a group of Liu Si and others, one is assigned to each calculation room. They have an abacus and know abacus mental arithmetic. After a year of training, their speed is already very fast.

Before, Su You had wondered why Old Guan Gou could understand the calculations he wrote. It turned out that he and the old accountant of the Su family were brothers, and they had been thinking about new accounting methods for a long time.
