Chapter 244 doesn't want to be divided into chapters, so let's just combine two in one "Isn't it all bean porridge?"
Li Shimin asked, but then confirmed his guess, it was indeed not bean porridge, although the pot was covered very tightly, but there was still a faint aroma of meat, and bean porridge did not need to put meat.
"Of course not."
Qi Wujin shook his head with a smile and said, "Just like you said, a bean porridge costs two cents, and even if Lao Wu is tired to death in a day, he can't receive two hundred and fifty guests." ” "Then what do you mean ......"
Qi Wujin didn't answer, but shouted at the boss: "Hehe......
Lao Wu, open your treasure and let the master see it. ” "Huh!
Sir, please look.
The boss did not refuse, and took off one of the pots, and suddenly a rich aroma came to his nose.
"What a fragrant braised pork."
Li Shimin's nose twitched fiercely, smelling this fragrance, he couldn't help but move his index finger: "Boss, you are not kind, you said that you have braised pork, why should I eat this bean porridge?"
” "You didn't ask, sir, did you?"
The boss smiled and said, "If you want it, the villain will cut a little for you." ” "Cut me two pounds, and if there are cooking cakes, bring me a few more."
I don't know how this boss did it, Li Shimin is more and more fragrant, and even the saliva in his mouth is flowing out, to be honest, although he is the emperor, the catering bureau has also been reformed by Li Zhen, but the imperial kitchen cooking in addition to fragrance and taste, more attention is paid to shape and color, after all, it is for the emperor and nobles to eat, how to look good, in order to take into account the shape and color, it is inevitable to sacrifice the first two points, so don't look at the beautiful food cooked by the imperial kitchen, but if it is really delicious, it may not be able to compare with the folk snacks.
Folk snacks may not look good in appearance, but the taste is absolutely a must, especially after Li Zhen spread the new cooking skills all over the world, the folk cooking skills have made a great leap forward, and the quality of life of the people has been greatly improved.
"We don't have cooking cakes here, but Wang Er next door specializes in selling this, sir, you wait, the villain will give you a few to go over."
The boss was very happy that this braised pork was finally opened, and he walked out of his stall in a hurry.
After the boss left, Li Shimin asked: "Strange, since he has braised pork, why did he write bean porridge?"
” "This ......
Actually, it's not much of a secret.
Qi Wujin smiled mysteriously: "At the beginning, Lao Wu's main business was indeed bean porridge, but later he found that there were more and more foreign guests, and he was very bold, bean porridge is easy to sell, but the price is not expensive, and later I heard that braised meat is easy to sell, full of more than a dozen dollars a catty, so I learned the practice of braised meat, while selling bean porridge, I also sell braised meat. ” Li Shimin was even more curious: "But since you sell braised pork, why don't you write the name of the dish?"
” "It's not a secret, in fact, it's like this, because according to the port management regulations issued by the Municipal Shipping Department, in order to avoid everyone selling the same vegetables, causing chaos in the market, the wharf stipulates that each stall can only sell one vegetable, not to mention such a small stall, it stands to reason that we can only sell one thing."
The boss just helped Li Shimin buy the cooking cakes, and said casually: "But then we found out that some things are very popular, but some things are not recognized by the guests, which leads to some people making a lot of money, and some people can only barely make ends meet......
So......"
"Oh......
It turns out that your braised pork is being sold secretly.
Li Shimin finally understood, and said: "This is illegal, aren't you afraid of investigation?"
” "What kind of law is it violated?
That's what everybody does.
The boss didn't care, and smiled slyly: "Besides, the tax we pay every day is not less, and the city department only collects taxes, so he doesn't care what you sell." ” "That's right."
Qi Wujin next to him also helped: "And you don't want to think about it, sir, there are so many people coming and going in the entire dock, where can one stall entertain you?"
For example, this braised pork, if according to the regulations, only Lao Batou's trading in our entire dock is legal, but Lao Batou can only make less than 100 catties of braised meat a day, and often it will be sold out in less than half an hour, and the rest of the guests get off the boat and want to eat something good, but they can't even eat the braised meat, so it's strange that the mood can be good?
may have a bad feeling about Yuezhou, and may never come again in the future......
Isn't this discrediting our Yuezhou?
” "......"
Li Shimin smiled and said nothing, Qi Wujin said very well in the front, but there is some nonsense in the back, businessmen are very profitable, as long as they can make money, not to mention that they have a bad impression, even if it is in the dung pit, as long as there is enough profit, they will jump, not to mention that it is just a small piece of braised meat, there is no one on the dock, there are many in the city, how can it cause a bad impression?
"If you want me to say, this management norm is not reasonable at all."
Qi Wujin didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking, so he just continued: "This is probably the decision of the officials and masters above with their heads twitching and patting their heads, completely ignoring the actual situation of the people.
Of course, their intentions may be good, so as to maintain the maximum harmony on the dock, the question is that they have not carefully investigated, what is the saturation of the market, and can one stall really satisfy all the customers on the entire pier?
It's impossible to think about. ” "Makes sense, but why don't you react to the above?"
Li Shimin asked: "After all, this is a violation of the management system on the dock, although you have formed a tacit understanding with the official, but if the official really investigates, then you may be unlucky." ” Although Li Shimin doesn't understand the following ways, as a superior person, he has experienced a lot of ups and downs, just by thinking about it, he can understand the way the people below act, and there is this kind of opportunity that almost makes it clear that he can be fined, and no one will refuse.
"We thought, there's no way."
The boss smiled bitterly: "We are just a group of ordinary people, with no power and no background, where can we talk to those officials?"
Besides, who wants to deal with them without anything?
Anyway, we pay a lot of taxes every day, so they shouldn't bother us, right?
” "That's not necessarily, wealth is moving, you make so much money a day, but you earn more than those who carry bags, do you think those underworld organizations will give up such a big piece of fat?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice, before he came to the port, he made up for the situation in the port, and naturally knew that there were various forces in the port.
"Won't it?"
The boss is a little insignificant, but he already believes eight points in his heart, he knows too well how bad those underworld forces are, if they don't fancy their profits here, it's impossible, but they don't know what the reason is, they haven't done it yet, so they have a bit of luck.
Li Shimin said firmly: "If you don't believe it, just wait and see, it is estimated that it won't be long before they will do it to you." ” At the beginning, these forces on the docks were just to keep warm and not to be bullied or robbed of their work, but with the continuation of time, their nature has changed, and they have slowly turned black from self-preservation, although they will not rob their homes, but they also gang up, bully the soft and fear the hard, and have become social scum who plunders the fruits of other people's labor and moths among the people.
You must know that the hard labor on the wharf at this time is very scarce, which leads to the fact that the wage of carrying the bag is very high, a fifty-pound bag starts at least three yuan, and the price of a hundred pounds of big bags is more expensive, and a strong guy has no problem carrying fifty small bags a day, that is, the income of one hundred and fifty yuan.
But this kind of salary is said to be a lot, why should Qi Wujin envy the vendor boss?
It is because the dock gang he joined has to take a commission, and it is very ruthless, as much as fifty percent, that is to say, Qi Wujin earns two hundred wen a day, but he can only get one hundred wen, and the rest will be taken away by the gang.
But Lao Wu is different, because they handed over the money to the City Shipping Division, which means that they are standing behind the Municipal Shipping Division, which is not something that those small dock gangs can provoke.
Although the city also collects money, but they collect legal booth rental fees and industrial and commercial taxes, which is not much, the rental fee is fixed, a stall is so much money, even if you earn 10,000 taels a day, how much should you charge for the booth fee.
The tax is not high, because with the increasing development of industry and commerce, the imperial court has tasted the sweetness of commerce, and has gradually opened up the restrictions on commerce, even if it is the most profitable industry, the tax will not exceed one percent, such as Lao Wu's small stall, it is only half of it, that is to say, the gross profit of five hundred Wen is only twenty-five Wen taxes, and then throw away the capital, two hundred Wen a day is less.
In such a lucrative business, how can those greedy moths be spared?
If it weren't for the fact that the vendors were standing behind the city, those scum who were blinded by profits would have run up to collect protection money.
However, the city shipping department is not omnipotent, the city shipping department has so many jobs, and has to collect taxes, manage ports, patrol the sea area, crack down on smuggling, etc., and work all day long, where is there so much spare time to take care of the small vendors on the dock?
Now those underworld forces may be afraid of the power of the City Ship Division and dare not trouble the vendors, but once they find out the details of the City Ship Division, it is difficult to say what will happen at that time.
What's more, even if there is a city boss watching, they don't dare to trouble the vendors, but don't forget......
These stalls are rented by vendors - since vendors can rent them, then it makes no sense that we can't, right?
As for the contract between the merchant and the city......
I don't believe that everyone is so clean in such a big family business.
As long as a little means are used, naturally there are people from the City Shipping Division who stand up to break the contract, and those vendors are all small people, do they still dare to make trouble with the officials and men of the City Shipping Division?
And isn't it just the best excuse to be in front of you?
Li Shimin dared to guarantee that he was afraid that those people had already made an eye on this excuse, and now they should be attacking the City Shipping Division, once they have a backing in the Municipal Shipping Division, this stall will all fall into the hands of those people.
And even if the city shipping department breaks the contract, the vendors can't help them, after all, it was the vendors who violated the port management regulations first, and the city shipping department took back the right to use the stalls, and no one could say anything.
While he was talking, he heard a commotion on the dock, and then a voice shouted at the top of his voice: "Wu Qi, your family's affairs have been committed, come with us." ” "What?"
The boss's body was weak and he almost collapsed on the ground: "How can this be?"
” "The person who spoke is called Wang Tong, a squad leader of the patrol team in charge of security on our dock, his reputation is not very good, he is greedy, if it weren't for someone above, he would have been dismissed a long time ago."
You don't need to look at people, just listen to the voice, and Qi Wujin will tell the information of the people.
Soon, a man wearing the clothes of the patrol team of the city division, with a black mole on his face and sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, who knew at a glance that he was not a good person, walked over, lined up everyone, came to the pot, opened the boss's pot and looked, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, but he was afraid that others would see it, so he hurriedly took it away, and said seriously: "Oh, I heard others report it before, I thought that others had wronged you, but now it seems that the situation is true......
Lao Wu, Lao Wu, you are also an old man on our dock, you have always been honest, I didn't expect you to do such a thing......
The port management regulations clearly state that in order to prevent chaos in the port market and to avoid hurting everyone's feelings, each stall can only sell one kind of thing......
But now you'......
How can this be said?
” "This ......"
The boss was anxious, and hurriedly took out a copper plate from his arms, and stuffed it into the hands of the middle-aged man with a sharp beak monkey cheek with a smiling face: "Wang Tou, I have something to say, you also know the situation on this dock, just relying on bean porridge, where did I get the money to treat my son?"
Wang Tou, I'm sorry, I know that my matter violates the management regulations, you are accommodating, and the villain will definitely change it in the future. ” "Shut up, who's asking for your money?"
For the boss's bribe, the king slapped it off, and the broken money was spilled all over the ground.
"Tell you, what you are violating now is the port management regulations, which were formulated by our Feng Zhibao Feng Master Feng himself."
Wang Tou arched his hand in the direction of the City Division with a look of admiration: "Who is Feng Zhibao Lord Feng?"
That is the henchman of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Dynasty, needless to say, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, the name of your porridge shop is Prince Bean Porridge, you should know the deeds of His Royal Highness the Prince......
You old Wu, you dare to violate the rules formulated by His Royal Highness the Prince, and you dare to openly bribe in front of so many people, in front of everyone, what do you say are you not looking for death?
Let me tell you, although I, Wang Tong, am not a good person, I am a little greedy and cheap, but I also know that there are some things I can do, and some things, I will never touch. ” "Good ......"
