Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Zhao Zhen pushed a pot of tripe chicken in front of Wang Mengzheng and said, "Please try this dish. The name is very tacky, but the taste is really delicious!"

Wang Mengzheng showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables. But when the chopsticks pierced the pig's belly, the pig's belly split open and revealed a stewed crispy chicken...

Wang Yuyan looked at the belly-wrapped chicken in surprise and said, "What kind of dish is this? The chicken is actually wrapped with the whole pork belly..."

"This is called Belly Chicken, and I prefer to call him a man who understands. Does the father of the country think the name I chose is a good one?"

Zhao Zhen's words made Wang Yuyan strange. She had never heard of this dish, and there seemed to be something in Guan Jia's tone. She glanced at her father and Zhao Zhen, who had strange expressions, and she felt keenly that the two of them had something to say.

There seems to be something going on that I don't know about.

The atmosphere at the banquet became weird.

Wang Mengzheng was trembling with his hands, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "I understand what the officials mean, but the tax owed by the Wang family to the court is ten times less than the cost of road construction! Please think twice!"

Wang Yuyan's eyes instantly became ugly. She stared at her father for a while and said, "How much tax has the Wang family evaded in total?"

Wang Mengzheng hesitated for a while but couldn't explain clearly. Zhao Zhen sneered at the side and said: "I'm afraid even the abbot doesn't know it? I know it very well!"

After saying that, he took out a memorial from his sleeve and said, "You father and daughter, look at it carefully. I can't even eat when I see this memorial!"

Zhao Zhen knew that Wang Yuyan must have nothing to do with this kind of thing, but Zhao Zhen still wanted to include her in it, deliberately letting Wang Yuyan see it in order to let her put pressure on Wang Mengzheng.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhen's method worked. When he left, he saw Wang Yuyan quickly taking the memorial and reviewing it carefully. The more he looked down, the darker his face became. When Zhao Zhen left the Moon Gate, he vaguely heard Wang Yuyan's sweet voice.

It's a bit sharp...

Wang Mengzheng, who was originally a father, now feels guilty that he dare not look directly at his daughter. No wonder her daughter is angry. The Wang family's property tax evasion is more than 100,000 yuan, especially the factory opened later, which is as high as 100,000 yuan.

"Father, you want to drive your daughter out of this harem! One hundred and eighty thousand guan! A total of 180,000 guan! Why do you want me to have the honor to meet the official? No wonder the official once said that Wang Jiahao is right but a gentleman loves talent.

We have to take it in the right way. My daughter originally thought that this was the official warning the Wang family not to go astray, but she never thought that what the official said was actually true!"

Wang Yuyan's pretty face turned red with anger. Wang Mengzheng had never seen his daughter like the apple of his eye like this, and he was also panicking.

"Father knows I'm sorry for you, but this is not our Wang family..."

"You are not sorry for me, but for the official family and the Song Dynasty. We don't care about other people's families, but not the Wang family!"

Wang Mengzheng gritted his teeth and said: "Then I will do whatever you say. As a father, I will listen to you in everything!"

Wang Yuyan's face was ashen and she smiled weakly: "What should I do? Now you are asking me. Before, my brother broke the law, and you had no choice but to come to me for help. Now it is the same with tax evasion. Am I just wiping the Wang family's butt?"

?I won’t care this time, the Wang family will prepare money and wait for the official’s wrath!”

Wang Mengzheng said hurriedly: "This can't be done. If you don't even care about the Wang family, then the Wang family will be eaten alive by the officials!"

"Are you afraid now? It's too late...it's too late for everything! I can still talk about my second brother's matter in front of the officials, and I won't hesitate to be scolded by Lu Zongdao to win the sympathy of the officials, but this tax case

It must be Ding Wei who settles the score. My father knows better than me what kind of person he is, right? If I still go to the Third Division to intercede, I'm afraid even I will be involved in Ding Wei's book!"

Wang Yuyan's words completely shattered Wang Mengzheng's last inner barrier, and he stared blankly at his daughter without saying a word.

After all, he has been working hard in the officialdom and shopping malls for many years. After a brief battle between heaven and man, Wang Mengzheng stood up suddenly and said: "Our Wang family can have no money, but your position cannot be lost! As a father, I will go to the official family to apologize.

go!"

When Wang Yuyan saw her father getting up and leaving, she called him with a long sigh and said, "The officials have obviously made a plan. All you need to do is show the attitude of the Wang family. Then the officials will not be too difficult."

After a while, a daughter is a daughter. At this time, she still thinks about herself. Wang Mengzheng's slightly curved back straightened a little. The father should support his daughter, even if the daughter is a high-ranking queen!

Striding towards the Moon Gate where the official family disappeared, Wang Mengzheng felt that the biggest and most successful business he had done in his life was not that he was on the side of the official family, but that he had given birth to such a sensible and intelligent daughter.

Zhao Zhen watched all this silently, sighing in his heart about the greatness of family ties. He was even a little jealous of this kind of family ties. Thinking of his father's teachings to him when he was alive, he even used himself as bait to play a big game of chess. Zhao Zhen deeply regretted it.

…

Looking at Wang Mengzheng who was kneeling at his feet, Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "The king of the country should be free! You have raised a good daughter. Naturally, I will not let the Wang family be destroyed, nor will I let the queen be wronged. From Tokyo City to

The Wang family will advance the cost of the cement road between Zhengzhou and Guancheng, and then the Wang family can account for 50% of the annual profit!"

Wang Mengzheng is confused. Can road construction still be profitable? I have been doing business all my life and I have never thought that a good deed such as building bridges and building roads can be rewarded.

Seeing his confused look, Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Thank you for being a businessman all your life. Cement roads are different from other roads. The Song Dynasty had to repair and maintain every cement road. Of course it didn't matter for the people to walk on it, but carriages

, what about ox carts? Of course they will cause some damage to the roads, and the carts that transport grain are different from the carts that pull people, so you have to pay to go on these roads..."

Wang Mengzheng looked at Zhao Zhen in surprise and said: "But the road collects money, which has never happened in ancient times! I'm afraid there will be complaints from the people in the future..."

"Don't worry about this. I plan to cancel the city entry tax. From now on, people will not have to pay taxes when traveling to all towns in the Song Dynasty. Do you think the people will still have complaints? There are also tolls collected from travelers and merchants.

Different from other places, there are even passenger buses running between the two places specifically for carrying passengers, with low fares and no tolls."

Wang Mengzheng's eyes lit up, and his keen intuition found that if this was the case, it would be too late for the people to be happy. They would have to hire cars and boats to go out of the city to far away places. Now that there are government cars and boats, who would go to the car dealership to join them?

Another thing he didn't expect was how many people would be needed to build roads? How many people would be needed to drive cars? Aren't these all good opportunities to arrange jobs?

National infrastructure construction is the best way to reduce the unemployment rate. Relief for work was a method used by the ancients to deal with disasters. However, in an economically developed dynasty like the Song Dynasty, building national infrastructure was a convenient method of providing relief for work.

The biggest flaw in the feudal era was the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, which is why land annexation occurred. People’s ultimate goal was to buy land, save grain, and save money. Breaking this simple and closed competitive model can break out of the strange circle of the small-scale peasant economy.

, or even the strange cycle of dynasty change.

The biggest drawback of the small-scale peasant economy is that it cannot effectively fight against natural disasters. This is a criterion set when the system was born. Farmers cannot live without the fate of relying on the sky, and the farmers are the ones who do more in the entire dynasty. What is even more frightening is that

All economic structures are based on food.

Once a large-scale natural disaster breaks out, the entire society and country will be destroyed. A small disaster will last for a while. If a major disaster occurs, factors of instability will arise. If disasters occur one after another, the country will be destroyed in a blink of an eye.
