Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

"Zai Zai?" The information on this place was almost collected, and Tong Ran planned to go back home, but when he looked back, his little tiger was gone.Tong Ran yelled again, "This street is crowded with people, and all kinds of people pass by. It's really not easy to find a small milk tiger."

"My lord, what's the matter?" Yuan San came over and asked.

"Did you see my cub?" Tong Ran said, unconsciously raising his voice.

Yuan San exchanged glances with the other three yamen servants, and everyone looked bewildered.

Tong Ran's heart twitched. Although his cub was always fierce, he was still a cub after all. If he was ordered, he would definitely be bullied.

"Wow!"

Among the noisy voices, there was a familiar cry.

Tong Ran raised his head suddenly, and saw a familiar tiger's head protruding from the eaves above his head. "Zai Zai," Tong Ran laughed immediately, and quickly walked down the steps to the outside of the eaves, where his little tiger was lying on the edge of the eaves.

Tong Ran opened her arms: "Zai Zai, jump down."

Chu Jun glanced at the little attendant with outstretched arms, and then at the side window sill that he had just jumped up with his strength. After comparing the two sides, he got up, kicked his hind legs, and threw himself into Tong Ran's arms.

"Why did you run up there?" Tong Ran hugged the lost and found little tiger, wanted to kill it but was reluctant, and asked, stroking its head.

"Whoa whoa!" It's not because of you.

Tong Ran didn't know what the little tiger was shouting, he was probably complaining about himself.Concerned that the yamen servants were still there, he only checked whether the little tiger was injured, and then took the lead in the direction of the yamen.

After working all day, Tong Ran brought back all the inquiry results recorded by himself and several others.

Yesterday he studied the map of the county, delineated a few places based on his impressions, and drafted a new regulation for setting up stalls.But that was always just talk on paper. After seeing it on the spot today, he had some new ideas in his mind. After eating, he sat down to revise the regulations that he drew up yesterday.

"Wow!" The little tiger jumped onto the desk.

Tong Ran beckoned him to come to him.

The little tiger flicked his tail and climbed onto the spread map.

This kid threw himself on the ground today and hasn't settled with him yet, so Chu Jun decided to chill him for two days first.

"Zai Zai, do you understand?" Tong Ran looked at it with a funny face, and the little tiger looked at the map in a dignified manner, as if studying it seriously.

The tiger cub swept his green eyes, changed his angle, continued to look at the map and ignored Tong Ran.

"Zai Zai, are you angry?" Tong Ran said.

The little tiger looked at the map in silence: Did you know?

"Zai Zai, do you want some jerky?" Tong Ran took out a piece of the little tiger's favorite flavor.

The little tiger glanced at it out of the corner of the eye: I haven't eaten any delicacies from mountains and seas?Do not care.

"You won't eat it, baby? Then I'll eat it." Tong Ran said, opening his mouth to chew.

"Wow!" the little tiger finally uttered, yelling fiercely at him.

Tong Ran smiled, put down the jerky, picked up the boy by the back of the neck, and grabbed him into his arms.

"There are so many people on the street today, did it scare you? It's my brother's fault. My brother shouldn't have put you on the ground. He should have held you all the time. Don't be angry, okay?"

When the little tiger moved its ears, it was not so easy to scare it.

"Zai Zai, can you forgive brother?" Tong Ran said, eyebrows and eyes curved.

The little tiger opened its mouth, as if yawning, revealing two short fangs.

"Wow." All right, I don't care about you.

Chu Jun struggled out of his arms, jumped onto the desk and took a good seat, Tong Ran was still staring at him and smiling, Chu Jun flicked his tail, and lay down with his back facing him, feeling a little hot on his tiger face .

In Xuanzheng Hall, Chu Jun opened his eyes, the bed curtain was drawn, and a ray of light came in, illuminating the cloud dragon pattern above his head.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Su Jin asked in a low voice outside.

Chu Jun didn't answer, the cloud and dragon pattern on the top of his head seemed to move, and gradually outlined the arc of the man's smile.

Fool, how could I be afraid of such a trivial matter.

A low laugh came, and Su Jin couldn't help but glance at the gap between the curtains.Between the slightly swaying curtains, there was a faint silhouette, a young man in dragon pattern pajamas lying on his back, with a hint of joy at the corner of his mouth.

Su Jin slapped himself violently, and it hurt.

His Majesty actually smiled, not a sneer, not a sneer, but a smile with joy in his eyes.Since his mother and elder brother left, Su Jin hadn't seen him smile for a long time.

The little tiger slept for a long time that day, and Tong Ran was worried about it, so she secretly put it into her bed at night and hugged it to sleep.

When he opened his eyes in the morning, a pair of green eyes came into his sight, and Tong Ran immediately woke up, only to see that he had one arm on the little tiger, and his cub looked at him with disgust.

She didn't grab him or yell at him, so she shouldn't be angry anymore, Tong Ran thought.

"What would Zai Zai want to eat this morning?" Tong Ran asked.

The little tiger ignored him, got out of the bed by himself, jumped out of the bed lightly, and went to the dining place outside.

During the meal, the little tiger didn't pay much attention to Tong Ran, but when Tong Ran said that he wanted to leave, he immediately raised his head.

"Brother Tong, is it okay for you to take your pet with you when you go to duty? Let it stay at home, and I will take care of it." Qiu'er said.The little tiger was not friendly to him, but fortunately he was familiar with it, and he knew its temper, even if Tong Ran was not around, he could still live in peace.

"No, I'll take it with me. The little boy was scared yesterday, and he will be scared if he leaves me." Tong Ran said, "Go to the fish seller last time and buy a few more. eat."

"Understood, Brother Tong." Qiu'er said, putting away the bowls and chopsticks swiftly.

Tong Ran tidied up again, picked up the little tiger and went to the county government office.

The county government office is not far from where he lives, and he can walk there in a quarter of an hour.

Yesterday, the yamen servants went on strike collectively. Tong Ran felt deserted when he arrived at the county yamen, but today it was lively.

Yuan San waited at the door, and two people followed behind him.

As soon as Tong Ran entered the door, he stepped forward to say hello, and said, "My lord, these two are newly recruited concierges."

Yesterday Tong Ran dismissed the porter, but there must be no one here, so he immediately asked the servants to recruit someone.One of the two people who came was from the local area, and the other was a native of Shanlin North Road. They were Zhengzhinian [-]rd Duan and Zhengzhinian [-]th Duan respectively. This level is not enough to be an official, but it is enough to be a door in the county government.

Tong Ran asked them about their personal situation again, and they had the right to interview them, so they stayed because they felt that there was no problem.

After dealing with the concierge, Tong Ran went to her study, followed by Sang Le and Yuan San.

"My lord, two of the three people you wrote the letter of appointment yesterday have come, and the other one has to settle down in a small family, so I will report later." Sang Le reported to Tong Ranhui, "In addition, there are 16 yamen servants on duty today. Twelve people came, and two other off-duty people also came, saying they wanted to make up for yesterday's vacancies."

Tong Ran sat down in the study and said: "The ones who are not on duty will come here, and where there is a lack of people, let them take over, but the money for yesterday's absence will not be compensated, and the days when they should be on duty will come. I have to make up again, do you think I am running a hotel here?"

"Yes, little one understands." Sang Le cupped his hands.

"Also, Brother Yuan, please take a look at this map." Tong Ran gave Yuan San the map of Xiaoguo County he had drawn.

This is a scaled copy of the map he brought back from the county government. It is not as detailed as the one in the county government, but it can be clearly seen in every block and lane, and there are marks and notes he made on it.

Yuan San took it, unfolded it and looked at it carefully.

He is a local and has worked in the county government for three years, so he knows the situation in the county very well.Tong Ran's map circled a few places, marked where stalls could be set up, some with time, some not.Yuan San knew at a glance that these are good places to set up stalls, which are convenient for the residents in the county town and will not hinder the traffic in the city.

In addition, Tong Ran also circled around the city gates to make it easier for people from the subordinate villages to enter the city to do business.

After Yuan San read it, he rolled it up respectfully, and said, "My lord, I don't know anything else, but I was born in a village under Xiaoguo County. They dare not do it against the law, and they must be grateful to the magistrate for this move."

Tong Ran chuckled, took back the map and said, "You are familiar with the county town, do you think there is something wrong with such a plan?"

Yuan Sanlue thought for a while and said, "I don't see anything wrong for now."

Tong Ran nodded, he was hesitant, this plan should be suitable for Xiaoguo County, and asking Yuan San was out of caution.

In the Tang Dynasty, Chang’an, the capital city, only had the East and West Market for business. After five dynasties, in the Song Dynasty, small stalls and hawkers could be seen everywhere in the capital city of Bianliang. In the Song Dynasty, although the land was small, its openness to business made it extremely rich for a while. , but also gave birth to many new technologies.

The Dacheng court's attitude towards business was somewhere in between, neither attacking nor supporting.There are not only places like Zhuoyang Prefecture with rich market life, but also places like Xiaoguo County where commerce is constrained everywhere.

If Xiaoguo County is to develop rapidly, business must be liberalized.

After this plan is implemented, some adjustments may be needed, and it will be changed in the future.There is only one thing, Tong Ran is a little uncertain.

"In your opinion, does this booth need to charge, and how?" Tong Ran said, he wanted to hear the opinions of these two people.

Neither Yuan San nor Sang Le had been exposed to such a decision-making. They glanced at each other, Yuan San didn't speak, and Sang Le said: "People come out to set up stalls to do business and make money. How can you do business without spending some money? It is charged."

"Then how do you say we should collect it?" Tong Ran said.

Sang Le thought for a while and said, "An ordinary store clerk in Xiaoguo County earns about [-] Wen a day, why not just pay this?"

"That's not right," Yuan San said immediately, "Setting up a stall also depends on the time and location. They also need to pay for the goods, and one hundred cash is too much."

When Yuan San said this, he reminded Tong Ran. He picked up a quill pen and dipped it in ink, drew a few lines on the map, and wrote words.According to the location and time requirements, he divided the stalls into four classes, A, B, C, and D, and charged different fees for each class.

"It's very good for adults to divide like this!" Sang Le said.

"Continue, draw up a detailed document based on this map," Tong Ran said, "Besides, since this is the first year, there may be adjustments and changes, so only [-]% of the booth fee will be charged."

"Yes," Sang Le said, and finally asked, "Then is the fee on the paperwork written at [-]%?"

"Of course not," Tong Ran said, "How much should be stated on the paperwork, and the discounts will be announced at the time of publication."

Sang Le understood and took the order to go.

Unnecessary, the little tiger licked its paws, thinking that it was time to go back to review the papers, it closed its eyes, and fell asleep directly on the big table in the county magistrate's study.

Tong Ran first dismissed the porter yesterday, and then punished the yamen servants, his prestige increased greatly.

What he asked Sang Le to explain was also done very quickly by the people below. After a good meal at noon, the documents and a notice drawn up by the clerks had already been delivered to him.

Tong Ran reviewed it and found that it was consistent with what he meant, so he stamped the official seal of the county magistrate.

After the official seal is stamped on the document, it will come into force.

Tong Ran called the yamen servants and clerks who were on duty, and appointed someone to take charge of setting up the stall. He also asked someone to write a notice, and it will be posted tomorrow morning.

Everything was arranged properly, and Tong Ran was about to leave with the sleeping little tiger, but saw Sang Le outside, studying with a notice.

"What's the matter?" Tong Ran was amused, it's just a notice, is it necessary to read it word by word like this?

Sang Le looked up and saw him, her face flushed, and she tried to be calm and said: "My lord is going back, I'll call Yuan Sange."

"Not busy." Tong Ran stopped him, "What are you looking at?"

Tong Ran is younger than Sang Le, not full-grown in stature, and much shorter than him, but Sang Le feels like an ignorant child in front of him: "Master, I am reading the notice that will be posted tomorrow, little one After thinking about it for a long time, there is still one thing I don’t know.”

Tong Ran: "Tell me and listen."

Sang Le lowered his head and glanced at the notice again: "Returning to my lord, I don't understand why the lord first said the asking price of the booth, and then gave the discount. Why don't you just mark the discounted price, it seems much clearer."

"What do you think?" Tong Ran asked back.

Sang Le shook his head, puzzled.

Tong Ran walked a little outside, and went down the steps to the outside of the eaves. The red light of the setting sun hit his face, which seemed real and unreal.

"Residents in Xiaoguo County are not used to setting up stalls. I give discounts to reduce their costs and attract more people to come." Tong Ran said, "But if you give the discounted price directly, there is no need at all. In comparison, they don't think it's cheap, and secondly, when the business is booming, the price will be raised, and there is no way to learn from it."

Sang Le suddenly realized: "So you have to talk about the original price first, and then the discounted price, so that they will feel that the current price is very cheap. If they want to increase the price in the future, they just need to cancel the discount, is that right?"

Tong Ran nodded.

Attract people for free first, and then turn it into a fee-based item, which has been tried and tested in modern business.For the stalls he circled, the first-class ones are only [-] yuan after discount, and the second-class ones are only ten yuan after discount. Although it is not completely free, it is already a very, very cheap price.

If you pay this little money, you can set up a stall and do business in a stable manner. Presumably, small vendors in the county and even merchants from other counties will be very happy.

And the money he received seems to be small, but there are many people who pay, and there are every day, which can subsidize a lot of expenses in the county government.

Coming out of the county government office, Tong Ran thought all the way, the only thing he needs to worry about now is the reaction of the people and vendors tomorrow.

There were few people on the street at the moment, and the little tiger stayed in his arms for a while, then jumped out to walk by himself.

It woke up when Tong Ran was talking to Sang Le just now. At first it thought that Tong Ran was unnecessary, but now listening to his explanation, it seems quite reasonable.How many things are in this kid's head, and he even knows a lot about business.

At an intersection, the flow of people suddenly increased. The little tiger dodged a stepping leg, lightened his body, and was pulled into Tong Ran's arms again.

"Don't be afraid, Zai Zai, I will hold you, it won't be like yesterday." Tong Ran hugged the little tiger tightly, coaxing as he walked.

The little tiger struggled, but Tong Ran thought it was afraid, hugged it even tighter, and coaxed it in a low voice.

"Wow!" I'm not afraid!

It's a pity that Tong Ran couldn't understand, so he still hugged it tightly. The little tiger struggled hard, but it was still a cub, and its strength was not as strong as Tong Ran's, so it had to lie down obediently in his arms.

The little tiger hid its head on Tong Ran's shoulder. His chin was beautiful. It moved up and down with the rhythm of the speech. It gradually narrowed its eyes and felt a little sleepy. When it was about to fall asleep, it came up with a thought: the last time someone told him no I'm afraid, how long ago was it?

The next day, the third quarter of Maochu.

At the same time, notices were posted on the notice boards of several government houses in the county, and there were government servants and civil servants explaining.

Everyone naturally wanted to read the official notice, and soon many people gathered around, discussing it.

"Can you set up a stall? So many places!"

"That's great. In the past, only Xingde Street could be used. People in my family who don't know the county government can't grab the land at all."

"But it costs money!"

"It's only ten cents, you can try it."

"My ancestor was a kite maker. Ever since Gao Xianwei came, he never dared to set up a stall again. This is great. How can it be possible for us small people to rent a shop? If we can set up a stall, there will be more livelihoods! "

"Yeah yeah."

In Xiaoguo County, there used to be many people who set up stalls, but after Gao Zhuo came to strictly enforce the regulations, many people gradually did not dare to set up stalls.

There are not many stalls on the other side of Xingde Street, and most of them are available to people who have some relationship with Deng County Magistrate. Ordinary people can only stare blankly.

"I said Tong County Magistrate is different, right? You see, he has only been in office for the fourth day, and Xiaoguo County has already changed."

"Tch, what a broken rule, my stall on Xingde Street is well set up, so I've lost my way of life all this time!" said a man who set up a stall on Xingde Street.

After hearing what he said, a sister-in-law next to him immediately snapped back: "Who doesn't know that you are under Deng Qi's favor? It's just your crap, who would buy it if you had no other choice!"

The man wanted to argue, but Deng Qi was gone for a long time, and all the people who were afraid of Deng Qi and dared not fight with him in the past showed their strengths. After several arguments, the man who set up a stall on Xingde Street was scolded and walked away. .

After everyone saw that the booth was about the same, the official sent by Tong Ran to manage the booth explained some rules for setting up a booth, such as when to set up a booth, when to close the booth, how to pay the booth fee, and how to get a booth. Always.Although the matter is complicated, it is very simple, and it can be done with a visit to the county government office. Someone is going to try it right away.

Tong Ranchen went to the county government office at the time, and after dealing with some paperwork, he planned to go out to have a look, but before he even left the door of the study, his brows felt hot, and a surge of righteousness surged.
