Selling alcohol? Hearing this, Zhu Wenxing's body bounced up from the tree, stared at the idle man and said, "Can you see clearly?" Is there really someone filling a ship with wine? The ship is a guest from out of town? ”

The idle man nodded again and again: "The small one is really visible, and it can't be wrong!" ”

Zhu Wenxing paced back and forth a few steps, muttering to himself: "The alcohol ban is not allowed to sell wine from other places in this county, buy wine and ship it to other places, although it is also a violation of the alcohol ban, but I don't know what the charter is." ”

After thinking about it, I still can't figure out the pros and cons of this matter. Yongcheng County has prospered in business this year, not only has all kinds of miscellaneous taxes attached to wine been abolished, but even the price of alcohol has dropped a lot. However, due to the increase in the number of people drinking, the total amount of liquor tax has not changed much. In fact, in this year, the liquor tax is a kind of luxury tax, and the total amount remains roughly the same if the population remains the same. When the price of wine rises, the quantity sold decreases, and when the price of wine falls, more wine is sold. The imperial court wanted to reduce the food consumption of wine, but was reluctant to pay taxes on alcohol, and one of the ways was to raise the price of wine.

If you want to collect more alcohol tax, one is to use administrative means to directly apportion. For example, in the event of a wedding or funeral, some local governments have a mandatory rule on how much wine must be bought, and they also go to a designated place to buy a specified variety. Another way is to sell alcohol to other places. Therefore, although there is a ban on alcohol, there is generally no restriction on the purchase of alcohol by outsiders, but the wine transported from other places is specifically investigated.

Yongcheng is different from before, Zhu Wenxing has responsibilities again, thinking about it, he stomped his feet and said, "No matter, go and see first!" ”

After saying that, he went to the dock with the idler. I saw a boat in the middle of the river loading goods, and from a distance, in addition to a large number of fireworks and farm tools, there were also large jars one by one.

It was far away and couldn't see it really, Zhu Wenxing couldn't help it, and gradually stepped forward.

As soon as I saw that the jar was used to hold wine in the nearby "Wangjiang Tower", and confirmed that these people were selling wine, I saw a vicious middle-aged man come to Zhu Wenxing's side, pointed the way and kicked him in the ass, and scolded in his mouth: "This thief is a thief, what are you looking at here!" Isn't it a robber on the Bianhe River, sent to look out for the wind? It's really blind to the dog's eye, dare to hit our idea! ”

Zhu Wenxing was kicked so much that he almost fell to the ground, rubbing his buttocks and said: "What nonsense, the official boats on the Bianhe River are like ants, I don't know how many soldiers patrolling the river, where the robbers came from!" You have no eyes, I am the head of the tax collection here, to see if you have any illegal goods! ”

The person who came looked Zhu Wenxing up and down, and said disdainfully: "It turned out to be a barricade." This county is too sloppy in doing things, and it sends such a useless guy to collect taxes here. My family buys goods, not sells goods, you are a stopper, what are you looking at here! ”

Zhu Wenxing was scolded, his heart was on fire, and he pointed to the wine jar that was still moving to the boat and said, "Isn't that wine!" You are all foreign merchants, how can you buy wine and ship it away? There is a ban on alcohol in the imperial court! ”

The man looked up to the sky and laughed: "What if there is a ban on alcohol? We bought it and drank it ourselves, can you handle it! ”

Zhu Wenxing was stunned, the wine ban is for sale, and it really doesn't matter if you buy it and drink it yourself. But he was unwilling to be sent away like this, and said with a stalk around his neck: "Where can you drink so much wine!" It's a family of 100, and I'm afraid it will have to drink for a year! ”

The man scoffed at Zhu Wenxing: "How do you know how many people in our family are?" If you can't finish drinking, it has nothing to do with you if we take a bath! Leave quickly, or I'll be killed and beaten away! ”

Zhu Wenxing is used to being flattered by the people here at the dock every day, and suddenly encounters such a person, where can he bear it? His heart was on fire, and he patted his chest with his hand and said loudly: "Grandpa is here to block the head, which one doesn't give me some face?" It's just that you are a! Okay, I'm going to check you out! ”

The man looked at Zhu Wenxing's appearance, and he couldn't help it, and laughed "poof": "A little official, call three and drink four here." Let me tell you clearly, our ship is from the governor of Benzhou, and we came here to do some small business, do you still want to check? ”

Zhu Wenxing was stunned when he heard this, maintaining that arrogant posture, unable to say a word. Where did he think that he would find out about Zhizhou's house. Not to mention wine, what can he manage on this ship?

On the opposite side is Xia Gui, the cadre of Xia Zhu's hometown, looking at Zhu Wenxing's appearance, he is getting more and more funny.

Xia Zhu is a governor of the state, and he can't buy an industry in the state, but he can still do business. In fact, many officials, when they take office, will bring goods from their hometowns and sell them to the place where they take office, and they can also be tax-free. Xia Zhu's family has a big business, and there are many cadres in the family, operating various industries. Yongcheng has recently developed commerce, and there are a lot of good goods, so Xia Gui buys them here and ships them to other places to sell. This is a normal business activity, and Du Zhongxiao and others were not notified. Because Yongcheng wine is good, Xia Gui bought a lot of wine, one is that the family drinks it by themselves, and some can be sold after returning. Although wine is forbidden, it is forbidden to come to Xia Zhu's house.

Shaking his head, Xia Gui ignored Zhu Wenxing, turned around and ordered people to continue to carry goods to the ship.

Zhu Wenxing was stunned for a while, and then returned to the big willow tree in despair. Seeing that the idle man was still standing there, Zhu Wenxing's heart was on fire, and he kicked the person to the ground, and scolded angrily: "You are so unlucky, why do you say that someone violates the ban on selling alcohol, but you don't want to be in the family of the governor of Zhizhou." Those big families, I don't know what happened to thousands and hundreds of people, buying more wine! ”

When the idler heard this, how dare he say anything? Holding his head and flying away, he ran away.

Zhu Wenxing looked at the back of the idle man leaving, and the more he thought about it, the more inappropriate he felt. The mood slowly calmed down, and he turned back to the Xia family's boat. Seeing that Xia Gui was still standing there, he stepped forward and arched his hand: "Director, I misbelieved people's words, which caused this misunderstanding, so bear with me." ”

Where would Xia Gui be as knowledgeable as such a little person? Just waved him away.

Zhu Wenxing was afraid that he would offend Xia Gui this time, not to mention finding trouble for himself, that is, taking away his errand and losing the drinking bowl for nothing, it was extremely unworthy. Again and again: "The supervisor is kind, not caring about the small general, and I am grateful." The small one is the barrage of this pier, and everything is familiar, and if there is any command, I will do it with all my heart. ”

Xia Gui wanted to rush to Zhu Wen's people, and thought about something, so he said to him: "I have finished loading the goods here, and I will set sail in the next two days." It's just that it's hard to hire a husband recently, and no one pulls the fiber, I don't know if you have any way to think about it? ”

When Zhu Wenxing heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said: "A little thing, even if it is wrapped in the little one!" Recently, the tide has risen, and there are many more boats on the Bianhe River for a while. There is also a camp over there, and a lot of slender men have gone to open the fields, but it is difficult to find people. But the small ones have some reputation here, and it's not difficult! ”

Xia Gui nodded and said to Zhu Wenxing: "This is the best." If you are able to do your job, I will say a good word for you in front of your husband. Not to mention glory and wealth, it is not difficult to get a good errand. I won't tell you the truth, the prime minister is going to Yongcheng County in the next two days, you have to seize the opportunity. ”

Zhu Wenxing was overjoyed when he heard it, and kept a firm note of the news that Xia Zhu was coming to Yongcheng. Zhizhou came to greet the county according to the usual officials, but he didn't have any news at all, could it be that this was a private visit to Weifu?
