Chapter 110 The Potluck of the Fuzun Family

As for why not just send money, but send consumption coupons. Because money can be saved, it doesn’t mean that people save money to white hair? At least for Mr. Zhao.

However, consumption coupons have a deadline and a consumption range, which can stimulate consumption more than real money and is more conducive to targeted support for key industrial and commercial industries. Of course, Mr. Zhao would choose the latter.

And he knew very well that for the common people, it was natural to pay the imperial grain. Being able to get a free gift would be a waste of money and would never be picky.

Sure enough, as soon as Kunshan County was time to collect taxes, the common people immediately rushed to the gates of several official warehouses with sacks, queuing up to pay the tax, fearing that the tax would be paid too late and the coupon would not be received. How could they collect the tax?

The difference between real money and silver or silver notes is that, first, the consumption coupons have a term, they must be used up before the New Year, and expire and become invalid. Second, they must purchase goods from designated merchants. In order to allow those merchants to accept consumption coupons with confidence, the county has paid half of their silver notes in advance.

As for the other half of the amount, you have to wait after the New Year to exchange it with the consumption coupons to Jiangnan Bank. In this way, merchants will actively promote the promotion in order to earn more consumption coupons, which will promote the popularity of the county's business atmosphere and drive the prosperity of all industries in the county.

Conservatively estimated that the county spent one tael of silver and eventually brought at least five taels of silver to the "chicken fart"!

Well, this is what it looks like was created by a young master Zhao who did not want to be named in the name of his father.

According to Mr. Zhao, he wanted to directly send money to the people, but Zhao Hao was firmly stopped. It was too eye-catching to send money directly, and people would say that it would be invited to buy people's hearts.

Even if you give food, it’s not enough. Did you withdraw the imperial grain at any time? Have you ever asked the emperor?

Although I asked, I looked at the number of sets of ill-fighting porcelains... Oh no, Your Majesty has always loved the people as much as his son, and he should agree. But the Wangwang team will not miss this opportunity to bite him and his father and son. Then wouldn't he do something bad?

So Zhao Hao designed this routine. He asked the county to issue coupons in the name of encouraging the people to pay taxes early and pay more taxes. He knew that with the economic level of the Wangwang team, it was equivalent to not having a level. He could get around them by going around this circle.

This is true. Su Song inspector and Bing Beidao both questioned Kunshan County, why did they have to issue coupons for tax collection?

The answer was: It is to let everyone pay more taxes and solve the chronic tax arrears that plague the yamen!

Where did these coupons come from? Of course I bought them from the merchant.

Why spend money to buy coupons? This is to increase industrial and commercial taxes and reward enterprises in the county that are supported by key support. Moreover, they are bought at half price, and the merchants do not even pay enough for their money, but just help them through the difficult entrepreneurial period.

What? After the Chinese New Year, my other half of my money will be replenished? That is two different things. That is the corporate reward for the new year!

Basically, at this point, the Wangwang team's attention will shift to why it is so good for industry and commerce.

The answer is that there is no way. Kunshan is densely populated and has too little land. If you don’t want the people to starve to death, you can only develop industry and commerce like Suzhou, so that everyone can have work to do and have food to eat.

In this way, the people paid taxes enthusiastically, and the court's tax revenue increased. The people themselves also benefited greatly; the businesses that the county should support were able to grow rapidly; the prosperity of Kunshan County also increased rapidly... Everyone has lived a good life, is there any problem?

Su Song, the inspector and the military prefab who came to inspect, were sent back in such a confusion. He could only shout in the memorial that the Kunshan experience could not be copied.

Of course, Mr. Zhao said, "What I worry most is how to receive the imperial grain to the lowest level." It's not nonsense.

Because according to Hai Rui's new policy on Yingtian, Susong's two prefectures still have to pay the tax on grain, and they cannot all be discounted like elsewhere. So Kunshan County is still collecting grain.

The people are too enthusiastic about paying taxes, so if they don’t do it well, they will pay too much. After paying enough of the remaining imperial grains in the warehouse, it will be moldy in the ghost weather in Kunshan!

~~

The vicious sun shrouded the Chaozhou government office, the lobby was open and ventilated, and the roof was high, but it was still cool.

One morning, Zhao Shouzheng had an in-depth exchange with two officials and ten magistrates on the current situation of Chaozhou Prefecture.

Then he announced his plan to revitalize Chaozhou - with the capital city as the leader and economic construction as the bridge, gathering scattered counties and leading the people of the whole capital out of poverty!

Basically, it is what he told Lin Run, five major chronic diseases, six major problems, and that set of solutions to deal with them.

After he finished publishing his long speech, it was almost noon.

At this time, Fan Datong came in and asked when the banquet would start.

Zhao Shouzheng then stopped talking and stood up and said to everyone: "Please use a simple meal. After the meal, let's talk one by one."

So he took the officials to the canteen of the government office and invited them to a simple meal - there were only four dishes and one soup on each table, and four other cold-sellings.

Obviously, Mr. Zhao did not want to save money, but did not want to turn lunch into a long banquet and waste precious time.

Although the dishes are small, they are Jinling cuisine that is hard to eat in Chaozhou.

Four dishes and one soup are squirrel fish, phoenix tail shrimp, Jinling meatballs, eight treasure braised duck, and chicken stewed in clear soup.

The four cold products are salted duck, soaked in braised pepper and chicken feet, Jinling Su assorted and golden silk crab sticks tofu boats.

They are all home-cooked dishes, without any delicacies, they just look a little more glamorous, the tableware is a little more refined, and the placing is a little more particular.

Maybe this will make people's appetite better in this hot summer.

The greats said New Year greetings and attended the banquet with a casual attitude. Because they had to talk about important things in the afternoon, there was no wine, and there was only some cold drinks to serve, so everyone used tea instead of wine. After celebrating the palace master, they raised their chopsticks to start eating.

Unexpectedly, when I was so obedient that I was all dumbfounded, holding up chopsticks and petrified the spot.

The old prison student Huilai County Magistrate, still had a drop of turbid tears in the corner of his eyes.

"What, is there any problem with the food?" Mr. Zhao quickly picked up chopsticks in each plate and tasted it, and said strangely: "It has not changed. That's not to your taste? Datong, remake a table of Chaoshan cuisine!"

Fan Datong was given an order to send someone to take away the dishes on the table. The officials who had been silent only woke up as if they were dreaming and quickly protected the dishes on the table!

"Don't move anything!"

"What are you going to do? They haven't eaten yet..."

"Go down!" The county magistrate shouted, just like guarding their people.

"Where are you singing this?" Mr. Zhao was confused.

"I have never seen the world before. I didn't expect that there would be such a very fresh and delicious thing in this world?" Dai Jiuchou, the magistrate of Puning, said embarrassedly: "So I was stunned for a moment."

"Yes, after eating the food from the Fuzun family, everything you eat will be boring for the rest of your life..." Cai Nan, the magistrate of Chenghai, hurriedly explained: "The official was just in advance and felt lost."

"At the age of Xiaguan, his taste is severely degraded. I haven't tasted such a delicious taste for many years." Ye Chaozhen, the old magistrate who had just cried, wiped the corners of his eyes with a veil and said, "This reminds me of my lost youth. At that time, I could still run in the sunset..."

"Xiaguan was moved by the smooth tofu. This feeling reminded me of my cousin, which was my first love..."

"I can't bear to eat more, for fear of wasting the resources..." The other adults also rushed to express their opinions.

"Okay, okay, you can eat more delicious food. Say a few less words, the food is cold." Mr. Zhao was speechless when he heard this, and he didn't agree. He thought that it was so delicious, so he could only be considered ordinary?

But seeing them chewing slowly and enjoying themselves all over, it seemed like they were not eating, but meeting the courtesan lady on the Qinhuai River.

Obviously not a fake...

Today's chef is a chef with a very fresh taste in Jinling. Manager Fang specially arranged for him to follow Mr. Zhao to go south and serve him to eat and drink.

Mr. Zhao has become accustomed to the very fresh taste, so he feels it is just ordinary.

But in fact, the level of the dishes with extremely fresh flavor has improved a lot compared to that year. The fresh flavored powder alone has been developed to hundreds of kinds. With the blessing of these fresh flavored powders, the fresh flavored dishes are constantly being introduced and have been passed down for a long time and have become a myth in restaurants in Jiangnan and even in Beijing.

In a small broken restaurant in Caijiaxiang, the chef with a very fresh taste was able to conquer the taste buds of Jinling gourmets with a few unremarkable dishes. Now he has improved several levels. How could he not amazed these remote bureaucrats who have never seen any world?

Now Mr. Zhao was embarrassed to urge them, so he ate a bowl of rice and rinsed his mouth and stood up.

"Everyone, please use it slowly. Whoever finishes eating will go to the study first. I'll invite you to have tea."

Qin Magistrate Qin, who was always paying attention to his brother's movements, was about to speak, but Liu Rugao, who was sitting on his left, brought chopsticks and picked up a meatball and sent it to him.

The magistrate Qin sucked his mouth firmly, and he immediately swallowed it and vomited it.

With this delay, Liu Rugao stood up. "Please give me some advice first."

"Okay." Mr. Zhao nodded and left the door first.

Seeing that his brother hadn't waited for him, Liu Rugao's expression dimmed, and then took a deep breath and followed him out quickly.

"Thank you, thank you." The magistrates thanked him one after another. Now they had time to savor every dish.

Magistrate Qin swallowed the ball, and I don’t know if it was choking, his eyes were a little red. He said in his heart:

‘Despicable, I obviously belonged to it…’

~~

Cool Le has been installed in the flower hall of Tongzhi Official Party, which is quite cool.

Zhao Shouzheng also learned to make Chaozhou Kung Fu Tea, and asked someone to prepare a complete set of tea sets. He sat in front of Kule and pulled up and dressed up like a decent look. It was really scary.

Liu Rugao sat opposite the tea table, but sweat kept oozing his forehead.

Since he came in, his brother has been silent, which has put him under great psychological pressure.

Finally, County Magistrate Liu couldn't hold back anymore, so he made up his mind, lifted his robe, and knelt straight at the tea table.

"Brother, I apologize to you!" He was about to kowtow.

"Okay, what's this?" Zhao Shouzheng scolded him, scaring him to some extent.

"At that time, I said I didn't blame you. Do you think I am the one who goes back on my word?" Zhao Shouzheng looked at him and smiled.

Liu Rugao quickly pinched his balls and immediately burst into tears: "Brother, don't blame me, I'm more and more blaming myself."

"It's right to blame yourself. Look, you don't use your soldiers, why don't I defend Chaozhou City?" Zhao Erye finally said that he wanted to pretend to be Boyi in Liu Rugao early in the morning.
