Chapter 368

When several light and delicious dishes were served on the table by Bai Feifei, Wu Haogu was already drinking and talking to Zhang Shuye and Li Zhong in a simple and clean house.

Because I will discuss some serious matters tonight, Wu Haogu did not come up with his own secret wine immortal, but was the original Erguotou.

By the way, this kind of "home-brewed old wine" is already well-known in Kaifeng Prefecture today. Many nobles who are close to the Wu family have received the "Wine Fairy" gift. However, it has not arrived when opening a store to sell it, because the production of "Wine Fairy" is very small. Currently engaged in the production of "Wine Fairy" (actually distillation) is the few confidant maids brought by Ximen Qing from Yanggu County, all of whom are the daughters of Ximen's customers, and they dare not betray Ximen Qing at all.

"Dalang, how long can your wine fairy be sold at any time? Our family is almost addicted to drinking it."

Li Zhong and Wu Haogu have a good relationship, so they have drunk the Immortal of the Wine. Moreover, because he has been in the army for a long time, he often drinks with his soldiers, so he is also a good wine lover. After drinking distilled white wine, he naturally feels that the low-grade non-distilled wine is no longer active.

"It's still early to start selling," Wu Haogu said with a smile. "It's hard to make wine, and my family doesn't have a permission to make wine. It's okay to make some of it at home, but it's a sin to take out."

"Your family doesn't have it, but Pan family has it," Li Zhong said with a smile, "Hurry up!"

"It's soon, it's soon." Wu Haogu said with a smile, "When Jiehe Market opens, Jiu Zhongxian will be available for listing."

Zhang Shuye heard Wu Haogu's words in the mid-tone, "Chongdao, are you planning to make wine in Jiehe Shang City?"

"Yes," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "It's brewed and sold to the Liao people! The Liao people are better than the Song people. The immortals in the wine will definitely be loved by the nobles of the Liao Kingdom.

Moreover, Jiehe Market is our own territory, and the wine industry guild is our final decision. It is the best to make wine there, so you can brew whatever you want."

Li Zhong asked: "Dalang, do you mean that Jiehe's wine industry is also managed by the guild?"

The wine industry, salt industry, or tea sales are not managed by the guild. It is not that these industries are "free", but that these industries are all exclusive.

For example, the wine industry is like this. In the big cities of the Song Dynasty, only designated "main stores" could make wine. In rural areas and small cities, wine business directly manages wine making. Wine business is usually contracted to private people.

The city name of Shanghai, the largest industrial and commercial city in China, originated from the Shanghai business of the Song Dynasty, which is a wine business that makes wine and sells.

Therefore, Wu Haogu still had many obstacles to selling "Wine Immortals" to various parts of the Song Dynasty. He needed a super license that could sell wine throughout the Song Dynasty! Otherwise, he would have to give up small cities and rural markets, specialize in big cities, and win a main store in every city that has the ability to consume "Wine Immortals" in large quantities.

This is also the reason why Wu Haogu wants to cooperate with the Pan family to sell wine. Pan family’s Panlou also has many branches outside Kaifeng Prefecture, and they are all main stores that can sell wine.

"The wine industry in Jiehe Market does not need a monopoly," Wu Haogu thought, "The monopoly is internal but not external, which is convenient for the government to charge taxes, but is not conducive to the cultivation of industries. How many people can Jiehe Market have? How many kilograms of wine can be sold in a year? Jiehe products are sold to various parts of the Song Dynasty, Liao, Goryeo, and Japan. How can they sell them for monopoly? I think it's better to hold a guild."

Guilds also restrict competition, while monopoly sales kills competition. Therefore, Wu Haogu does not want to engage in monopoly sales in a commercial city like Jiehe Commercial Market that must rely on external markets.

But guilds are still necessary. Without guilds, businessmen will lack organization and difficulty in managing, and the difficulty of collecting taxes will increase greatly.

"In the market, there are not only guilds, but also neighbors."

Wu Haogu thought about it: "Every industry must have their own guilds, and the guild is responsible for formulating industry regulations and levying 'industry tax'. It is also necessary to divide 34 neighbors into the commercial city. Each chamber of commerce shareholder can be divided into one neighbor's land, and the remaining neighbor is the resident of the commercial city chamber of commerce, government office, major security office, police patrol office, water patrol office and other government offices."

"Dalang, do you mean that every family can get a piece of land?" Zhang Shuye asked, "Do you need to pay extra?"

"Look at the location." Wuhao Ancient Road, "the riverside area where the wharf can be built, and the areas close to the land exit of the market need to be sold. The proceeds belong to the Chamber of Commerce. The remaining areas are obtained by the Chamber of Commerce shareholders who have not sold well.

All land in a commercial city, as long as it is built, and does not belong to the chamber of commerce, government offices, court offices, large capital security offices, police patrol offices, water patrol offices and other government offices, must pay land tax based on the size of the land and the value of the land.

In addition, every neighbor will be a capital guarantee in the future. The group training in Jiehe Commercial City is based on this. There can be up to 33 capital guarantees, each with 500 people, totaling 16,500 people. If Ding Zhuang, who lives in the neighborhood for a long time, does not join the capital guarantee, he must pay the exemption to the Chamber of Commerce."

"Is the Chamber of Commerce's taxation the money for taxation, local taxation and exemption from service?" Li Zhong asked.

"There are also ship taxes and deeds." Wu Haogu said, "All merchant ships that berth load and unload goods at the port of Jiehe Commercial City must pay ship tax according to the size of the ship. Any bulk transactions that require contractual reasons in the commercial city also need to pay a small amount of deeds. Taxes, local taxes, ship taxes and deeds are the main source of income for the future Jiehe Chamber of Commerce. The exemption money should not be collected as much as possible, and can be replaced by bows and arrows training."

"Bow and arrow training?" Zhang Shuye was always interested in military issues.

"Yes, bows and arrows should be a compulsory technique for the people of the market. Men, women, young and old should learn to draw bows and shoot arrows." Wu Haogu said, "If there are disputes within the guild or between guilds, you can go to the archery range to determine the level. The difficult cases encountered by the referee can also use archery to determine the outcome.

By the way, every neighbor should have a bow and archery range related to the Dadubao Institute, which is for the villagers and Baoding to practice archery. All business officials must also be assessed for archery. Those who cannot archery should not be officials."

The purpose of archery in such an important position is naturally to turn Jiehe Shangshi into a future anti-Jin stronghold. Compared with spears, swords and shields, archery and horse riding are skills that require long-term training to master. Therefore, archery sports must be vigorously promoted from the beginning of the establishment of Jiehe Shangshi.

In addition to the above methods, Wu Haogu also plans to hold archery competitions regularly in Jiehe Market at the appropriate time in the future to pay bonuses to the winners.

In addition, horse racing and equestrian sports also need to be vigorously developed.

Wu Haogu paused and said, "There are also some small vendors who do not join the guild, and they also need to add a small amount of municipal tax."

"In addition," Wu Haogu said, "the streets, roads and yards of the Shang City must have unified regulations. Roads, embankments, and walls (referring to the Shang City walls, neighbors do not have walls) must be built and managed by the Shang City Office. In addition, unified drainage and water supply facilities are also required, and garbage and feces must be disposed of."

He glanced at Zhang Shuye and Li Zhong and smiled and said, "How is it? Are you still considerate in your plan?"

"Thoughtful, so thoughtful!" Li Zhong nodded repeatedly, "Dalang, you are the prime minister's talent! If you go to take the Jinshi exam, you will definitely be the prime minister in the future."

Wu Haogu laughed: "Given a market first, then discuss other things."

Zhang Shuye also nodded and said, "It's indeed thoughtful, Dalang, do you have any written words?"

"Yes," Wu Haogu said, took out two thread-packed booklets from his arms and handed them to Zhang Shuye and Li Zhong respectively, "all of which have been written on it."

Uncle Zhang put away the booklet, raised his glass and drank it all, "Brother Chongdao is indeed a talented person, and I admire him very much.

However, it is still necessary to discuss how the guild will be established."

The commercial market in Wu Haogu is quite orderly. The supreme authority is a chamber of commerce composed of thirty-three shareholders. The administrative and judicial organs are political offices, court offices, major security offices, police offices, water offices, etc., and the grassroots are neighbors and guilds.

Among them, the Chamber of Commerce has nothing to argue about, with thirty-three shareholders, one by one democracy.

There is nothing to say about the administrative and judicial system in the middle. The first "Mayor of Jiehe" has been sent to Wu Haogu, and no one can do it.

The grassroots neighbors are also very simple. One shareholder and one neighbor have their own territory. How to arrange for yourself to consider?

Then the end is the guild! According to the standards of later generations, most of the guilds of the Song Dynasty were organized with gangster nature, and they directly raised idiots!

Zhang Shuye, the official in charge of intelligence, naturally needs to control some guilds as much as possible.

Wu Haogu said: "I have to take these seven guilds: brewing wine, engraving and albums, medicine shops, singing and selling, grain stores, shipbuilding, and shipping.

The five elements of brothels, tiles, real estate, construction, and docks are all major guilds. There are at least three guilds in a guild, and I have to get at least one. How to arrange the remaining guilds will be discussed by Brother Ji Zhong and Li Daguan to divide them.

In addition, the head of the guild is not unchangeable. We have to set a rule!"

Speaking of this, Wu Haogu glanced at Bai Feifei who was responsible for pouring wine, and asked with a smile: "Feifei, what are the rules for the brothels in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Bai Feifei smiled and said, "There are sisters in the brothels, and several buildings each occupy one or two heads. In addition, all heads must be sold in the building."

Wu Haoguxin said: It turns out that "tales" that sell their skills but not their bodies cannot become the leader of brothels.

He paused, "Is there anyone dissatisfied?"

"Yes," Bai Feifei said with a smile, "If you don't agree and have the support of a big brothel, you will meet on the wrestling platform!"

"Go to the pounce table? Sister Qi and you?"

Bai Feifei said: "It's OK. According to the rules, whether to follow the rules, whether to go up by yourself or someone else, it depends on the situation."
