In the Great Song Dynasty, it is not illegal to brew wine privately, how you like to drink it. However, if you want to sell the illicit liquor, it is a crime.

Many years ago, Fan Zhongyan gave Shang Jia a not-so-nice name called 'Tourist'. He believes that only when these tourists return to their hometowns to farm, the world will be peaceful, otherwise these tourists wander between the cities all day long, and the only role is to corrupt the ethics and discipline.

The most effective way to control the 'tourists' is to set up management institutions for the salt, iron, tea, and wine industries. When he was the governor of Yanzhou, Fan Zhongyan set up a government-run monopoly agency for salt, iron, wine, and tea on his own territory, and banned private and private industries.

Later, when he entered the court, Fan Zhongyan immediately extended this experience to the whole country, and he set up a number of institutions such as the Salt Supervision Institute to issue salt money, iron money, and tea money to merchants—collectively referred to as money quotations, that is, quotas. From now on, you will have to pay for how much salt you produce, how much iron you produce, how much tea you can sell, and how much wine you brew.

This practice directly gave birth to the real currency of the Northern Song Dynasty - salt banknotes.

In contrast to the official jiaozi, salt banknotes are prepared with a full amount of salt, and those who obtain them can exchange them for salt throughout the country. Cunning merchants soon discovered that salt money could be exchanged not only for table salt, but also as a voucher for exchange in the market.

At the same time, the circulation scope of Guanjiaozi was limited to Yizhou and Northwest Zhulu, but salt banknotes could pass unhindered in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Since then, salt banknotes have gradually replaced the status of Jiaozi and become a new type of paper money that passed through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Throughout the Song Dynasty, the credit of salt banknotes was better than that of official Jiaozi until the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Jiaozi that Wang Zhi exchanged for Tang Ning at the beginning were actually salt money. It's just that Tang Ning hasn't used Shangjiaozi much for such a long time, and that thing is used for large-scale transactions, and it is not used in daily life.

So Tang Ning didn't know that it was actually salt money instead of Jiaozi.

If moonshine is legalized, you can only go to the government and ask them to issue a license to show that your wine has been affirmed by the government, and there is no problem for everyone to buy it.

However, there is a disadvantage to this, that is, even if you sell this jar of wine for a penny, the government will have to take four cents out of it.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with tying yourself to the thigh of the country and moving forward with this thigh. At least as long as you are honest and diligent, the government will have a good impression of you, and if there is any good thing, it will be the first to fall on your head.

But the problem comes again, I am in Runzhou City, and now in addition to knowing how to walk the road, I don't know where the government is and where is the Qinglou, and I have to find someone to help.

Since Wang Zhi had a meal at Tang Ning's house last time, he will come over if he has anything to do. But today he was kicked out by Tangning.

This stinky and shameless person comes to eat and drink every day, and then asks him to do something, but he actually says that he can't do it.

"Brother Tang, it's really not my brother, I won't help you. Brother, if I have that ability, I still use it here as a lieutenant for his grandmother? My brother has long opened a tea house and a winery all over the Song Dynasty.

You say this thing is simple, do you know it, just moonshine, it's all about giving people to drink for a year to see if there are any side effects, and those people in the tea and wine bureau, all of them have a dead face, I went to the door once before, and showed them the treasures handed down from Lao Tzu's house, and they were all beaten out by these dogs.

Tell me, they don't even give face to my Wang family, who are they working for?

You're going to let me take you there, no problem, but let's be honest, don't think about walking to the left side of the door, what you do here will be placed in the study of the nobles of Tokyo City tomorrow.

Brother, listen to my brother's advice, if you want to get it, you can get it well, in fact, there is more than one way to get rich. Why don't I go and ask you for an official in the box army, how about our brothers drink the blood of the soldiers together? ”

"Fuck your sister, you don't want to drink the blood of soldiers, I'm not like you.

Besides, I'm not looking for you to introduce you, I just want to know how to go to that tea and wine bureau. ”

Wang Zhi looked up to the sky and laughed three times, laughing while walking towards the carriage, and when the carriage turned its head, he looked at Tang Ning and said, "I don't know!" ”

Then he slapped the coachman on the head, and a carriage disappeared from Downing's sight in an instant.

Tang Ning blinked, feeling a little inexplicable, didn't he just ask for directions?

"Tea and Wine Bureau? What does that place do, you ask? When Zhou Huailai checked the homework he gave to Tang Ning yesterday, he asked very strangely.

"Oh, yes, the apprentice has recently made a kind of wine, and it tastes pretty good. And you can see that there is no income in the apprentice's house, so you can't sit and eat like this, so I wondered if I could make a living by selling alcohol......"

"No! Absolutely not! Zhou Huai said categorically: "Master still has important responsibilities to entrust to you in the future, how can you do business?" That's not right. ”

After speaking, Zhou Huai got up, and did not stay to eat as before, but looked at Tang Ning and said, "You take care of it, in a few days, the Zhuliu Academy will be completed, and it will start recruiting disciples."

Although you have read a lot, you have only read it, and Brother Xu must have never taught you, right?

This leads to the fact that you are now learning miscellaneous but not proficient, so the teacher wants you to go to Zhuliu Academy to study, not to become a great Confucian like Mr. Zhuliu, as long as you can understand it and make a few poems, don't answer the old man's questions every day. ”

"Master, apprentices are not officials." Downing's cautious wording.

"Yes, no problem." Zhou Huai squinted his eyes and smiled like an old fox: "Speaking of which, I remembered." Choose a good day and an auspicious day, for example, three days later, it will be good, you take me to see Brother Xu. ”

“……”

Liu Yier hurriedly came out with the prepared meal, this woman has been feeding Tang Ning steamed buns for the past two days, and under Tang Ning's strong protest, she finally began to feed the stuffed steamed buns.

Seeing that Zhou Huai was gone, Liu Yier put the braised pork that Tang Ning taught her to make on the table, and said viciously: "The rest of the dishes are in the kitchen, if you want to eat them, go and get them yourself!" ”

The family is not at peace, and the outside does not recognize the road, and in two days the fucking is going to school.

Tang Ning, who only felt that everything was not going well, hurriedly picked up a few mouthfuls of food and washed the dishes to read the book, as Zhou Huai said, he could only read the general meaning of these four books and five classics, but he could not know the deep meaning inside.

Moreover, in this era without punctuation, reading books is also a torture.

Different sentences can reflect different meanings of a sentence.

For example, 'stay a guest on a rainy day, leave me without a stay'.

It can be - "Rainy day, stay guest day, stay me or not?" ”

It could also be - "Stay on a rainy day." ”

"Oh my God! Leave me or not? ”

It could also be: "Stay on a rainy day." ”

"Heaven will leave me behind."

All in all, why is there a simple Spring and Autumn Period, and there are many versions such as "Zuo's Spring and Autumn", "Ram Spring and Autumn", "Spring and Autumn Dew" and so on? This is the disaster caused by the absence of sentence breaks.

Tang Ning can understand a set of his own Four Books and Five Classics according to his own habits, but this does not mean that what he understands must be the mainstream of this era.

The general trend of the world is mighty, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die. Tang Ning closed his eyes, knocked on the table and silently recited this famous sentence of Mr. Sun, feeling that going to school did not seem to be a bad thing.

Being able to go to school shows that in the eyes of others, I am still a child, and I can do some irresponsible things under the protection of adults, which is very good.

An unexpected guest came, it was Shen Kuo.

This old man had never knocked on the door of his house, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw him squinting at himself with his hands behind his back and looking like a man of the world.

"What's the matter?" Tang Ning asked cautiously.

"Ahh Do you talk to your elders like that? I heard that you worshiped under Zhou Jinyu, why didn't he teach you etiquette? Shen Kuo angrily accused Tang Ning.

Tang Ning pouted and said, "Since the last time I went to your house and you used me as a tool, I have never treated you as an elder again!" ”

"The old man is older than you, what's wrong with using you as a tool? Hey? The term tool man is a bit rare! ”

"Without further ado, what are you doing at my house?"

"The Marquis of Huaiyin ordered troops indiscriminately, more than two people in a group of three, more than three people in a group of five, and more than four people in a group of seven, the old man asked you, how many people are there in total?"

"I don't dare to say it."

"Why?"

"I'm not the Marquis of Huaiyin, bye."

Shen Kuo looked at the closed door, his nose was crooked, and he jumped to his feet and scolded: "Shameless! Shameless! You stinky boy who doesn't know how to learn! The old man is going to ...... Be sure to ......"

Then Shen Kuo rolled his eyes, and he was stunned.
