The system wants my local master gl

As mentioned earlier, the imperial court's system of questioning is extremely strict, but this kind of manifestation only generally exists in prosperous large towns.In remote county towns and mountain villages, unless the government intends to control it, it is common for people to brew and sell it themselves.

Based on this, in order to increase the wine tax, the government will increase the wine tax on large merchants who buy and sell.

In the later years of the late emperor's reign, the wine tax in the Jianghuai area was very heavy, and merchants complained about it.After the official ascended the throne, in the second year when the reign name was changed to Mingqi, that is, two years ago, it was ordered to prohibit all localities from increasing the tax on alcohol, and at the same time, the officials in charge of the military in various regions were no longer allowed to take charge of alcohol affairs.

However, after the decree came down, it was not strictly enforced in various places, and the local liquor business would still increase the liquor tax for various reasons.

Song Yuyan thought that the wine class was also one of the achievements of these officials, and it would also help them fill their pockets. The imperial court demanded that the wine tax be set at the same amount, and the wine tax should not be increased at will, so they were naturally unhappy.

However, in April of this year, the government once again ordered the three divisions to calculate the liquor tax in various places, and then take the median value, and set it as a unified liquor tax standard, requiring all places to strictly implement it.

Judging from the memory of the original owner, this time is different from two years ago. After all, two years ago, it was the standard in various places. Local officials have various methods to raise the alcohol tax as the local standard.Now all parts of the country have unified standards, even if the wine officials are not happy, they have to strictly enforce it.

But "there are policies at the top, and countermeasures at the bottom", and the wine class is fixed, but they still have a way to increase the tax on alcohol-they have focused on the small business of folk brewing that they have ignored before.

Previously, under the rule of the state capital, self-brewing and selling were allowed, and the people did not buy wine through the wine shop, nor did they buy the government's koji, so the government did not know how much wine was brewed, so they did not accept them. liquor tax.

After the decree on the quota of the wine class came down, the wine department did not allow people to brew and sell their own wine. Even in small villages, if they brewed wine at home, as long as someone reported him for trading, the wine department could arrest him.

Many people are afraid of being convicted, so they either dare not make wine anymore, or pay the wine tax honestly.

Meng Shuituan was reported by the villagers for secretly selling wine, so the wine manager arrested him and took the opportunity to blackmail him to pay back the unpaid taxes for selling wine.

The Meng family knew that the wine service was trying to make things difficult, but for the sake of Meng Shuituan's life, they had to scrape together the money and hand it over to the wine service.

Meng Shuituan was finally released, but the life of the Meng family became more and more difficult day by day.

There are still many families in the same situation as the Meng family. Coupled with some natural disasters, the life of the people at the bottom is getting more and more difficult.

After a year like this, in the fifth year of Mingqi, some suffering and ambitious people began to rebel in the Mingzhou area. They did not dare to play the banner of rebellion, so they could only rob passing people like bandits. Caravans, rich households.

As more and more people joined the rebellion team, Meng Shuituan was also hit hard by the death of his parents, and he joined the rebellion team under the rule of resentment.

The original owner wandered around the market on weekdays, and knew many people of various religions and ranks. Among them, many rogues joined the rioting team like Meng Shuituan, but the original owner was too busy to solve the problem of food and clothing and did not join.

Meng Shuituan also found her, and tried every means to persuade her, but she didn't agree.

A year later, because the prefect of Mingzhou had not been able to solve the problem of civil unrest, it spread to the court, so the court transferred another prefect to deal with it.After Xinzhizhou took office, he immediately started to solve the problem of civil unrest. His style was tough and he acted vigorously. Many rioters were arrested and killed.

In order to serve as a warning, Xinzhizhou severely punished the rioters, and at the same time, all the local hooligans who committed crimes and crimes were also severely punished.

Because the original owner was close to Meng Shuituan and those local hooligans, and she was reported by her neighbors for her theft, she also became an "accomplice" of those people and was executed.

……

The original owner has always been resentful about his death, so that this memory is particularly dark, and Song Yuyan basically can't read it without reading it.

Now that she read it because of Meng Shuituan's appearance, she was in a very delicate mood.

In fact, Meng Shuituan was also a victim in this incident, but he chose the path of breaking the law and committing crimes after all; although the original owner was implicated, he was charged with arresting her by the government because of his injustice, so it is hateful and pitiful.

Now that it is April, the officials estimate that they have already started preparing for the wine class quota. I believe it will be set within half a month, and then it will be communicated to Mingzhou by May at the latest, requiring strict implementation of the wine service.

Now that Song Yuyan has traveled here, she must not allow things to continue as they did in her previous life.But with her current status and ability, what can she do?

Concentrated, Song Yuyan smiled slightly: "Shui Tuan, why did you sell wine here?"

Hearing this, Tang Zhi frowned: This person knows Meng Shuituan, if she is not Song Yuyan, then why can she know Song Yuyan's friends?

Neither Song Yuyan nor Meng Shuituan noticed Tang Zhi's tangled expression. The former was thinking about how to get rid of the catastrophe of death two years later, and at the same time prevent Meng Shuituan from going the same way as in his previous life, while the latter was busy answering Song Yuyan's words.

He said: "It's not that there are no weddings in the village. This wine is not easy to sell, so I sell it here. What are you doing recently, and you don't come back to the village to play with me?"

Song Yuyan smiled wryly: "I'm so busy at work that I can't take my time."

Meng Shuituan didn't ask her what she wanted so much bamboo for, thinking she was working as a coolie for others, so she scooped up a small spoonful and handed it to Song Yuyan: "Hey, it's rare to see, let me give you a taste."

The wine brewed by ordinary people is not very good in taste and low in strength, and it costs only four yuan a liter, which is cheaper than the lowest-grade small wine in the store.However, the ancestors of the Meng family all had the habit of brewing wine, and the technology has naturally improved, so this wine can be ranked in the middle, but the price is only about five yuan.

Song Yuyan thought that instead of going to the main store to buy it, it would be better to buy it directly from Meng Shuituan, so he took a sip and said: "The wine tastes mellow, and it's the same as before. Give me two catties of wine .”

Two catties is two liters, which doesn't sound like much, but it can actually be drunk for a long time, so it's not too rude to buy it as a gift for Tang Haogen.

Meng Shuituan helped her pour the wine, and then gave her the wine and the jar: "This jar is worthless, so I gave it to you!"

"How embarrassing that is."

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're still polite to me!"

Song Yuyan had no choice but to accept it, thinking: "Well, when you are free, come and sit at my house for a while, let's catch up and talk for a while!"

"Okay!" Meng Shuituan readily agreed.

……

Song Yuyan gave the wine jar to Tang Zhi, and said, "Miss Tang, please pass it on to Tang Dian for me. This is a little thank you, and a little bit of my heart."

After thinking about it, worried that Tang Zhi would misunderstand her for being petty, he added, "Although this wine is not made in a big winery, the taste is not bad, and I don't have much money now, so I can't afford good wine, wait for me If there is any money left, I will definitely make it up again.”

Tang Zhi was still thinking about why the family was so poor that they couldn't get rid of the pot, why they went to buy so much wine, it was to thank her elder brother.

But she said before that you don't have to thank him, but Song Yuyan still squandered the money, so she scolded angrily: "I said that he only helped this one for the sake of your mat and didn't want to owe you anything." Busy. I won't hand over this wine for you, you're going back soon!"

"The one who sold me the wine was my friend, and asking me to return it is just to refute his face, Miss Tang, are you embarrassing me!"

Tang Zhi's cheeks were bulging with anger, and Song Yuyan could hardly help laughing out loud. She held back her laughter and called out, "Hey, Miss Tang, I'm carrying such a heavy bamboo on my body, and my hand is also very heavy." Sour, what if my hand shakes and I drop the wine jar? Quickly hold the wine jar!"

Seeing that she was overwhelmed, Tang Zhi was also afraid that if her hands shook, she would drop the wine jar to the ground, so he quickly picked it up.

When the wine jar was in hand, Song Yuyan looked relieved, and Tang Zhi reluctantly accepted the thank you gift.

The author has something to say: In the fourth year of Jingde, that is, in 1007, the wine class was fixed.

Mingzhou did have civil unrest between 1008 and 1009, but there is no relevant historical data about what caused the civil unrest. Only the relevant historical data of Kang Xiaoji, the prefect at that time, mentioned that the civil unrest was quelled in 1010 during his tenure.
