Great Imperial Merchant

In Daliang, if you want to open a restaurant, you not only need to go to the household registration office to file for the record, but also need to obtain a government-approved alcohol ticket.That is to say, if the alcohol ticket cannot be obtained, then their restaurant cannot sell alcohol.

Although the salt, wine, tea, sugar, copper, iron, gold and silver in Daliang were not controlled by the government, if merchants wanted to operate, they had to obtain permission from the government, and that thin ticket was the license to sell alcohol.

Two days later, Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe went to the household registration office in Quzhou together.Quzhou is much more prosperous than Danluo, and even Quzhou's household registration office is bigger than Danluo's. When they arrived at the right time, there were still many people in the huge household registration office, and it was not as deserted as Danluo.

It was sunny at this moment, and although it was not yet spring, it was not too cold, so the two stood casually at the door of the household registration office, waiting for Boss Zhang to come and go in to transfer the ownership.

Only after the shop has been registered will it truly belong to them. Yang Zhongyuan looked up at the golden crow in the sky, feeling uncontrollably excited.

"Azhe, we are about to have our own shop." Yang Zhongyuan murmured.

Cheng Weizhe smiled softly, found Yang Zhongyuan's from the complicated sleeves with his slender fingers, and held it tightly: "Yeah, I never thought before that one day, I will have my own home and my own shop."

Yang Zhongyuan turned his head to look at him, Cheng Weizhe's smile was always so warm and bright, and the dimples on his face made him a man who was serious and fierce, a little softer, and this man was about to belong to him.

"Yes, we already have our own home, our own shop, and we will have our own partner in May. Why do you think life is so perfect?"

He spoke so lightly, as if the hardships of the past ten years had become swallows traveling south, and would disappear as soon as they flew.

"Well, we are very complete."

Cheng Weizhe gave him an affirmative answer.

Once a person has a goal to strive for and works hard for it every day, then life will naturally be enjoyable.

Even if you are busy, it is worth it, after all, it is what you want.

It was said that the two of them were only interested in finding money, and they also admitted it.Chai, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, the two words of life, money is inseparable everywhere.They are still young, they can earn more money, give each other the best life, and make the elders rich and happy. In Yang Zhongyuan's view, this is what a young man should do.

The two stood under the sun, squinting their eyes to enjoy the warm sunlight.Only a moment later, Boss Zhang hurried over: "Oh my brothers, I came too early, you have to be considerate of me, the time to go out is considered good."

Cheng Weizhe wanted to laugh every time he saw him, and this time was no exception.

I saw him laugh out loud: "Brother, your life is really regular."

Boss Zhang wrinkled his thin face: "Brother Cheng, stop laughing at me, let's go, go in and get things done, so I can let go of this matter completely."

The shop that was passed down from generation to generation was sold because of his incompetence. Boss Zhang looks relaxed and funny, but in fact he is very bitter in his heart.

Seeing him like that, Cheng Weizhe put away his smile, and dragged Yang Zhongyuan into the household registration office together.

It was Yang Zhongyuan's second visit to the household registration office in Quzhou. However, there were many people who transferred ownership of their homes and courtyards. The household registration office also specially added two yamen servants to guide order.

There are not so many people like Yang Zhongyuan and the others who want to transfer the ownership of the shop. The three of them followed the street signs to the household registration desk. They seemed a little impatient with the work. They casually glanced at the three of them and said lazily: "My transfer shop, don't make a mistake."

The person who went through the formalities for them last time was a middle-aged man. He is an old man from the household registration office, so he is familiar with Yang Zhongyuan's rather peculiar guide, and he recognized it immediately, and his attitude improved accordingly.But the one in front of him stared at Lu Yin for a long time, and then glanced at Yang Zhongyuan suspiciously.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Don't just fool me with a piece of broken paper. You don't need a transfer fee if you say no transfer fee. Who are you?"

Speaking of which, ever since Tianqi took charge of Emperor Rui ten years ago, he has reformed the entire bureaucratic system in Daliang. Even this kind of household registration from the ninth rank must pass the assessment of the household registration office before taking office.

Naturally, a capable person who can pass the Jinshi examination will definitely not be such a small official with sesame seeds and mung beans, but at least he must be a juren who can read poetry and prose.

As long as there is an assessment, it is necessary to understand all the special guides and certificates. The household registration system in Daliang has been passed down for more than [-] years. It has been continuously improved through generations and is still in use today.There are all kinds of guides and vouchers, and it is really difficult to remember.

But since he is working in the Yamen, he must do well.Not only did he have a bad attitude, but he was also completely unfamiliar with his job, which was okay enough.

Yang Zhongyuan frowned, and said softly: "This road guide was opened by the Yong'an Palace of the Imperial Capital, and it is stamped with the official seal of the Imperial Capital and the private seal of the chief executive of Jinliang Palace. According to the law, the transfer fee can be exempted."

After hearing what he said, there was a flash of surprise in Jiupin's eyes, but he still stiffened his voice and said rudely: "You need to tell me what this road guide is. I can't understand it? Dare to say according to the law. , boy, you are really brave."

Yang Zhongyuan was about to say something more, but Cheng Weizhe grabbed the hem of his clothes.Cheng Weizhe missed half of his body and leaned forward, gently took the walking guide from his hand, and then whispered in his ear: "You tell me the number."

He could see it, this job may hear Yang Zhongyuan's words and think of what this road lead is, but he is not willing to suffer, the transfer shop is more expensive than the house, and he has to pay 300% of the house price to the government, In other words, for the 150 taels of silver in their shop, they have to pay the government a transfer fee of [-] taels.

This is nearly 160 taels of silver, he can save it for Yang Zhongyuan, but he also wants to get some extra benefits.

Sure enough, after hearing Cheng Weizhe's words, the officer immediately showed joy on his face.Yang Zhongyuan felt unhappy seeing him like that, but he didn't say anything.

After Cheng Weizhe finished speaking, he stood back beside Yang Zhongyuan. He looked down at the man with a smile and a very friendly attitude.

Immediately, he became more determined in his work, he winked at Cheng Weizhe, and made a two-character gesture with his hands.

Two taels?This is not much, this person knows that they can afford the shops in Baozhu Street, so he can afford the two taels of silver, but this matter is really different.

Cheng Weizhe was too lazy to entangle with him, so he wanted to take the broken silver directly for him, but Yang Zhongyuan rolled his eyes, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "I'm really sorry, I didn't bring so much silver today, but I have some copper coins..."

They often go out to buy recently. They not only have bank notes and broken silver, but also copper plates that have just been retrieved by the store. Yang Zhongyuan thought about it, and there are about 50 coins, but it should be enough to send this person away.

Hearing that he was in a hurry to do something, but adhering to the principle of not doing nothing for nothing, he immediately said in a low voice: "Take out as much as you have, otherwise you don't want to get this done today."

Boss Zhang stood a little far away from them, and he was also angry when he heard that he was so shameless.

Yes, he has a good temper, but that only targets his own friends and relatives. There is no need to show face when dealing with such people, he thought so, turned around and walked to the second floor.

Isn't it just to see Yang Zhongyuan and the others just arrived, and they haven't had a few days to get their household registrations, so they are so arrogant.

The two of them are new here, but he is not Lao Zhang. It is really unbearable to bully others and bully his brother.

So, under such erroneous circumstances, when Yang Zhongyuan poured the copper money from his purse onto the desk, Boss Zhang also invited the household registration Yinzheng who was in charge of the Quzhou household registration office to come down.

The sound of the copper coins falling to the ground was unusually clear and crisp, and immediately everyone in the household registration office looked towards Yang Zhongyuan and the others.Hukou Yinzheng's face darkened in an instant, he walked up to them holding his breath, and yelled at the office worker in a low voice: "Look at your attitude, please sit upright for me."

Seeing the immediate boss coming to work, he immediately stood up in fright, stammering, "Yizheng, I...I'm not...I didn't ask them for money."

He is almost 300 taels of silver here, and Yinzheng's face turned green after hearing this, he whispered: "Shut up, just stay."

When I turned around again, my attitude became kind: "You two, I'm really sorry, I'm also responsible for what happened to my subordinates. Come on, come on, I will help you pick up the copper coins first, and then I will give you the copper coins in person. How about you do this?"

After all, he is an old fritter. There are many foreigners in Quzhou, some of whom are rich and powerful young people with extraordinary backgrounds. He worked in the household registration office until he was recruited.

Even if he is an ordinary person, he is just a small errand, and there is no harm in welcoming people with a smile.

Before he finished speaking, he bent down and began to pick up a few copper coins that fell on the ground, and then quickly helped Yang Zhongyuan take back the money bag: "Little brother, I apologize again on his behalf. We will punish him. But it is important to help you get things done now, otherwise it will not be good to delay your time."

His attitude was so good that there was nothing to say, so Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe stopped insisting, and directly handed over the sales contract, road guide, and the household registrations of their family and Boss Zhang's family to Yinzheng.

Yinzheng took the few pieces of paper, and was taken aback when he saw the contract, and then saw Yang Zhongyuan's Luyin, and immediately opened his eyes wide.

He cautiously raised his head to look at Yang Zhongyuan, then at Cheng Weizhe, and asked with some uncertainty: "Trouble both of you, who is this guide?"

If he can lead the way, he must know how to do it. Yang Zhongyuan smiled at him and didn't speak.

A thin guide can actually see a lot of things.On it was the official seal of the Imperial Capital and the seal of the chief steward of Jinliang Palace, which showed that Yang Zhongyuan was already able to be the chief steward in the palace. The Yong'an Palace was so big that there were thousands of people in the palace, but the chief steward could count on his hands.Moreover, there is also the time when he left the palace on the road guide, which was July last year.Those who can leave the palace in July of the 15th year of Tianqi will naturally enter the palace in the first year of Tianqi.Based on this calculation, he must have entered the palace to serve in the same year as Emperor Ruijia, and looking at his posture, it is impossible to say that he often walked in front of the emperor before.

Even if you leave the palace now, so what?After all, the relationship is there. Once he is provoked, it is not impossible to go to Beijing to sue the imperial court, even if he is directly under the eyes of the emperor.

Just thinking of this, Yin immediately felt a chill down his back.

He immediately became polite, and he didn't even call himself an official anymore. He just smiled and said, "Oh my brother, we are colleagues. Look at what happened today. I'm really sorry."
