In one day, Zheng Xiong attracted a lot of attention.
In the morning, Lao Zhu’s place was swept away.
In the afternoon, not one of the unofficial venues was spared.
Most of the people who were kicked out of the situation stayed put because they were prepared to see Lao Zhu's reaction. After all, Lao Zhu was the biggest pimp.
However, the result was still disappointing.
Lao Zhu's place was calm and calm, and there was no intention of causing trouble, even if the palace sent people to inquire.
It seems to have no impact on it.
Little did he know that Lao Zhu was also a mute and couldn't tell the pain of eating Coptis chinensis.
Zheng Xiong did something extraordinary! That must be out of line, because there is nothing illegal about hooking up a bar.
However, the word "Yi Hou" represents authority in a certain field, so Zheng Xiong's way of announcing in the pharmacy certainly makes sense.
In addition, sexually transmitted diseases such as Hualiu are real.
So using pharmacies as a breakthrough point to carry out anti-pornography actions does not affect whether it is correct or not.
What's more, Zheng Xiong only caught such a thing and committed blackmail, and did not involve himself in any big way.
Furthermore, although Goulan was established under the guidance of Lao Zhu, its actual leadership was still the Ministry of Rites.
The taxes collected are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.
The girl who joined the 16th floor also came from the Jiaofang Division. The Jiaofang Division is the direct leadership organization and is still within the scope of Zheng Xiong's management.
Coupled with the reputation of a pimp, it doesn't look good no matter what.
So in the end, most of them also contributed to education.
Lao Zhu did not benefit much directly, and the results he obtained naturally did not meet others' expectations.
In the world of chess, Lao Zhu lost a chess piece and a gap appeared.
There is no doubt that I am angry, but I have to find it elsewhere. I don’t know how many brain cells I have to waste.
For others, it would be a bit difficult to punish Zheng Xiong.
I just said I wouldn't cause trouble to Zheng Xiong, so I couldn't turn around and break my promise and slap myself in the face, so I couldn't get over it.
The situation was turned upside down, but Lao Zhu didn't say anything. His attitude of acquiescence made most of the people who were waiting for Lao Zhu's statement feel cold.
The massive crackdown on pornography seems to have caused no waves, not even a single person looking for trouble.
For several days, no orders were issued.
In Zheng Xiong's case, although he successfully blocked Lao Zhu, Zheng Xiong didn't have any sense of accomplishment.
It was like a punch on cotton, it was uncomfortable and made Zheng Xiong doubt his life.
Time passed quietly, and Zheng Xiong didn't dwell too much on this issue. There will be many opportunities in the future, not just for a while.
The annual tea-picking season was coming soon, and Zheng Xiong began to make intensive arrangements for tea.
Huangshan Maofeng, Taiping Houkui and Lu'an Guapian are the representatives of green tea.
Apart from the different places of production, the only other difference between good high mountain teas is the craftsmanship.
Huangshan Maofeng focuses on the tip, Taiping Houkui has one leaf and two buds, and Lu'an Guapian has a single leaf.
Different characteristics make these three types of tea the best among green teas, thus becoming famous at home and abroad.
Starting from Lao Zhu, teas such as green tea, which are simply fried, began to gradually regain their vitality.
"Your Highness, I have prepared it. Now we need skilled tea frying masters to fry it. I wonder if Your Highness can find some tea workers from the Tea Horse Company. I will teach them how to do it."
Looking at Zheng Xiong, Zhu Biao was speechless after hearing what Zheng Xiong said.
Before it even started, it found its way into my head. It was foreseeable that there would definitely be a lot of troubles in the future.
"Can't you find it yourself?"
"Time is tight, so I have to ask His Highness for help!"
Why did you go there earlier? I have time to fight against pornography, but now I tell myself that I am pressed for time, which is very annoying.
"Okay! How many people do you want? I'll send you some."
Zheng Xiong crossed his fingers. The three famous teas were in a hurry. Adding the Keemun black tea, he asked for more, and he was right.
"A thousand people! That's barely enough."
Zhu Biao put his hands on his forehead and his veins were pulsing. It was enough to pay back a thousand people.
It’s okay to temporarily find some masters who are skilled in frying tea leaves.
A thousand people can be found when they are not busy, but now, as Zheng Xiong said, it is the season for tea to be on the market, no matter how many people there are, it is obviously unrealistic.
"No, I can get you dozens of people at most. Do you want them?"
In a word, it's a fraction of the price. It's not such a bargain.
Zheng Xiong's face suddenly turned the color of bitter melon.
"This is too few, there must be at least a few hundred people!"
"No, I can't help you."
Seeing Zhu Biao being so decisive, Zheng Xiong was quite helpless, but mosquito legs are still meat even when they are small!
"Okay, please send it to your highness as soon as possible. If it is not enough, I can go to Yingtian Mansion to look for it!"
"By the way, Your Highness will prepare another one hundred thousand guan. When the time comes, you will need money for the tea, so you must prepare in advance."
Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zheng Xiong didn't bother him any more, but the hundred thousand coins still shocked Zhu Biao.
"Why do you need money to receive tea? Or one hundred thousand guan."
Don't blame Zhu Biao for being shocked. This is not small money. Don't lose so much money.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty implemented a monopoly system, with specialized tea farmers cultivating tea and selling it to the government. Private trading was strictly prohibited.
For example, tea farmers grow tea for 50-50 cents, which is usually paid as rent.
Sichuan produces Bacha in 477 places, with 2,386,943 tea plants and 315 tea households.
Jianning offered tea and listened to the tea farmers harvesting it. . . . He bought five hundred tea farmers to exempt them from corvee labor and allow them to specialize in planting.
This is the household registration system established by Lao Zhu. It is clear to you what kind of work you will do.
It is equivalent to saying that for a thousand kilograms of tea, you only need to pay five hundred kilograms of tea, and it is purchased at a low price.
One hundred thousand guan, depending on the two states' efforts to pick it, it is not certain whether they can be given out.
The two people think differently and reach very different conclusions.
What Zheng Xiong wanted to do was to collect money for the tea, make it into tea and resell it, so it would be a good idea to prepare more money.
"It costs money to collect tea! It also costs money to make. I have also prepared one hundred thousand guan. The more the merrier."
"Two hundred thousand guan, use it to collect tea. Do you know how much my tea tax will be next year? It's only 50,000 guan! You are too wasteful."
"Ah! You can't!"
"Why not? We specialize in salt tea. Although the taxes we collect are not high. Tea farmers sell tea for only thirty-one tax. But half of it must be deducted first, and the rest is their income. How much tax should they pay? payment."
"Based on what you charge, how much money can you make like this? If it really doesn't work, forget it. I doubt your ability, but I don't dare to invest money outside."
Zheng Xiong took it for granted because he didn't do enough homework.
If we go by what Zhu Biao said, then this money can basically be saved. We can directly collect rent from tea farmers and then use a sum of capital to purchase at a low price.
There is no need to collect them one by one slowly. If you collect them slowly, you will not be able to collect them. Those who have not registered a household cannot still trade in tea.
The tea leaves in the world were basically monopolized and were all in the hands of Lao Zhu. No wonder Lao Zhu didn't care and gave the land to the two states for Zheng Xiong and Zhu Biao to toss.
In addition, trading is not that easy. Except for the tea-horse market, there is not much money to be made from trading.
The result of the torment is that with the foundation of the two states, I can make some money, but not much, so I can only get some hard-earned money.
As Zhu Biao had suspected before, it was basically certain from Zheng Xiong's unprepared performance.
