After arriving at Xiguoyang, Ding Xiaomi was still unhappy. One day, a basin of fish was served at home. She jumped up in surprise and said, "Put it away quickly. I don't eat fish. He is such a kind person."
Fish spirit, why do we want you to eat me and me to eat you? Isn’t it good to live in harmony?”
Heart diseases must be treated with heart medicine. This sister was born with abnormalities. How about going to Kuocangdong Sanqing Temple and asking Master Ningzhen to perform a water and land ashram to resolve her heart problems?
While Wang Wen was giving porridge to the victims, he asked his parents to accompany Wang Xiaomi to Sanqing Temple. A few days later, she came back and the Taoist priest told her that Luo Dacheng was not dead, but that he was destined to suffer such a disaster, and his body was exhumed.
After a hundred years, he will be able to cultivate his body. After saying that, he cried bitterly into his armor.
"I have never made the lanterns he asked for. I have to make him five lanterns properly. His last wish for ten lanterns is to make a carp jumping dragon gate lantern first."
The heavy rain stopped for a while, but more refugees poured into Xiguoyang. The food for mobile use has been used up, and if the food for brewing is not used, people may starve to death soon. Wang Wen was convinced and summoned the eight shopkeepers.
Calling for food donations, he said: "Form good relationships and get good rewards. Business needs word of mouth. I would like to donate a thousand tons of food to help the victims survive the disaster year."
By donating a thousand dans, the victims of the disaster in Choutan can be protected from life-threatening dangers. But once this sets a precedent, what should we do if the county and the government come to ask for them? Shopkeeper Xu said worriedly: "Disaster relief is a great charity. A thousand dans of food are a good thing."
We will make a shortfall of 60,000 taels of silver. We accept this, but we cannot donate more until now."
In business, no one wants to see wasted money jumping out. Seeing this, Wang Wen could only agree to them first to solve the urgent need, and then slowly figure out the future matters.
The area of the flood was very wide, and the two Zhejiang roads were all affected. Disaster relief grains were in short supply everywhere. The imperial court's order to open warehouses was still not issued. I heard that there was grain in Zuixianju in Botan, so the county magistrate and the prefect became anxious and began to fight.
This idea was to achieve political success. As soon as the flood receded somewhat, he immediately ordered the government officials to prepare a sedan and rushed from the county seat to Botan.
As soon as they got off the sedan chair, without a word of greeting, Magistrate Zhou went straight to the topic and said: "The kindness of shopkeeper Wang and the eight shopkeepers of Zuixianlou moved heaven and earth. There is an old saying in China that a good man will do it to the end. Can I lend it to you?"
The county has a thousand tons of grain. When the imperial edict comes, we will repay you with the grain from the official warehouse, and the county can issue an IOU for you."
The county magistrate is a bit nerdy. He has a respectable heart for the people, but he does not think things through well. Let’s not talk about whether the edict will arrive. Even if it does arrive some time later, the grain in the official warehouse will be old rice from a few years ago.
, the grain used for making wine is new rice, old rice and new rice have different prices, and the quality of the wine produced is also different. The eight shopkeepers looked at each other, and I looked at you.
Before County Magistrate Chen's matter was finalized, another report came outside that Mr. Ren and his family from Lin'an Mansion had arrived. As soon as he entered, he thanked Wang Wen and his family for taking care of his wife and daughter. After thanking Wang Wen and his family for taking care of his wife and daughter, he said in a different tone: "I am offering you the honor.
On the orders of the Liangzhe Road Jiedu Envoy, I asked my benefactor to do a favor and temporarily borrow a thousand tons of grain to help the court tide over the difficulties. After the next season's grain harvest, I will make up for it, plus 10% as interest."
There are 6,000 dans that have been brewed, and the remaining 5,000 dans were used for disaster relief. One thousand dans were promised by Guantan. If those from Lin'an Prefecture and the county government are included, the next phase of the brewing business will be completely ruined. This
The losses were huge. The shopkeepers were about to reply when they heard the commotion outside the door. An officer dressed as an officer came in and said to Wang Wen and others: "Your Excellency, the prefect, deeply approves of Wang Wen and other eight shopkeepers' actions in donating food during the calamity year. We are looking forward to it."
I will give you a plaque to show your appreciation. At the same time, I will borrow a thousand tons of grain from the shopkeepers and wait for it to be replenished after the grain harvest next season." After that, he said to the soldiers outside: "Bring up the plaque and hang it up for all the shopkeepers.
Up."
Two soldiers brought in a plaque with the words "Virtue and Shanqi" written on it, and hung it on the door. Then, the officer said: "The prefect has sent a car to wait outside. This is a note from the government to borrow food."
, after the new grain is harvested this year, we will send it to the house and ask shopkeeper Wang to deliver it to me." There was no room for negotiation in the words.
The county magistrate is directly in charge of us, and the prefect's soldiers are outside the door. If we don't give, we will use force. As for the future business entrusted to us by the family friends, no matter which one has more beautiful words, they all say that they are sharing the country's worries, and no one can afford to offend.
The shopkeepers were dumbfounded.
At Wang Wen's house, Mrs. Ren and Ren Yuheng were chatting with He Qingsheng, saying a lot of thanks and cordially inviting their family to Lin'an Mansion.
With the knife on his neck, what could be done? The officer directed the soldiers to carry a thousand loads of grain, said thank you and left. The county magistrate and Mr. Ren could not use force. They stayed in Caotan, and it seemed that they would not be able to get it.
Food will never give up.
In the evening, eight shopkeepers gathered together to discuss this matter. Shopkeeper Zhou was old and spoke first: "They will not let us dig out the grain that has been brewed for disaster relief. Otherwise, we will raise the price of wine to
In order to maintain profits, our wine is very popular anyway, so we don’t have to worry about selling it." The implication is that this food must be lent to them.
Shopkeeper Chen thought for a while and said: "I have some humble opinion. You can't raise the price of wine. You can only establish business if you are trustworthy. You can borrow food, but you can't borrow it all according to their quantity. You can only borrow half. When you lend them, you must ask for it."
The county magistrate and the prefect of Lin'an issued an order to reward our good deeds. In Yong'an County and Lin'an Prefecture, all alcoholic beverages in Zuixianju will be exempted from tax."
The wine tax is equivalent to 20% of the price of wine. If the wine tax is waived, profits will increase by 30%. For the government, it is just a matter of announcement. All the shopkeepers cheered.
After reporting to the government, the replies from the prefects of Lin'an and Taizhou were surprisingly consistent. If you cooperate with the yamen, the yamen will be rewarded. The liquor tax exemption is easy to do, but only for one year.
Seeing this, Jin Huabin went to the bedroom to check on Zhang Guifang. Thanks to his mother's care, his complexion improved a lot and his mood stabilized. He was talking and laughing with his mother. When he saw him come in, he said to him: "You can go to work in peace.
Well, mom is here."
It’s been a long time since I had a good chat about the forum with my colleagues face to face. It’s not a problem to limit the communication and discussion within the QQ group. When he arrived at the office of the cultural station, Jin Huabin was busy convening people and asked what happened recently.
There is nothing new. Su Yuehong replied: "The new thing is the forum administrator posted by the county government. You have to communicate with him. The forum is a place for everyone to exchange opinions. If you have different opinions, you will be banned. There will be no arguments and everything will be harmonious."
, the popularity of the forum will slowly disappear."
During this period, the increase in the number of registered people on the forum did slow down, but he thought that he had encountered a bottleneck and never thought about it in another direction. From what they said, it was because the post was deleted or banned by the administrator.
Treat him to a guest and build a good relationship with him. He called Zhang Guifang on his mobile phone and told him that he would have a party that evening.
