Chapter 25 Official Body

I sent away a few more companies to see the sun rise, and the big customers have basically left, and the rest are vendors who carry loads of wine. Xu Zheng started out like this, so he is quite good to these vendors. The barrels and shoulder poles of wine are provided by the Xu family, and the loss of each barrel of wine is also a little more abundant than other families.

Although the big shops in the capital are more luxurious than the other, they make money from wine, but they rely entirely on small profits and quick turnover. The big profit has been taken away by the court, and the restaurants and wine distributors can only make small profits. For profit, the restaurants are very detailed in every detail. A barrel of wine costs ten cents or eight cents to the wine. The many wine merchants add up to a large number. The profits of the Xu family’s liquor are higher and can be placed more wide.

At this time, the wine was operated monopoly and the sales were basically fixed. The small profits and the high profits and low sales actually had no impact on the overall profits, but the competition was only within the restaurants. Because of this, the imperial court later implemented price increase and reduction of price reduction and volume increase of wine koji, and did not affect the total amount of alcohol tax. It was just regarded as a policy to regulate people's livelihood, and the economic significance was not great.

After saying hello to Liu Xiaoyi, Xu Ping said goodbye and went to the city's home.

He was going to enter the city today, so he walked with the team that delivered wine in Baisha Town to check the sales of liquor. Although it has not become a popular wine drink for the public, in a big city with a population of more than one million, one thousand liters of wine can be sold easily every day.

Entering the city from Xinzheng Gate, crossing the Bian River, and then you will arrive at your home in the capital.

Li Zhang and Baofu were having fun in the yard. When they saw Xu Ping coming in, they hurried over to greet him. Then they followed him, unable to shake him off.

In the living room, Xu Zheng was wearing a brand new green official uniform and blushed face. He was chatting with Lin Wensi and Li Yonghe with Duan Lao's yard. In the inner room, Lin Suniang accompanied Zhang Sanniang, while Su Er and Dou'er were busy entering and leaving.

Today is the day to celebrate Xu Zheng's official position. There are only two close relatives of the Xu family, and they come early. There will be a banquet in the afternoon and invite the neighbors to have a drink.

Shi Xie was an official in this era, that is, he was well-informed in the capital. If he was in the small place of Baisha Town, all the top figures would come to congratulate him. Although Xu Zheng had a low position, he was a person who was about the same level as the magistrate in the local area. He was really a powerful person.

After entering the living room and saluting everyone, Xu Ping stood aside honestly. All the elders here were his, but there was no place for him to sit.

Xu Zheng asked a few casually about the business situation in the village and Baisha Town, and then turned around. Now he is an official and can no longer care about these trivial matters all day long. Xu Ping was very surprised when his father adapted to his new identity so quickly. He originally thought that his father would not be interested in things other than money in his life. However, he did not expect that Xu Zheng did not have the opportunity to become an official, and he would not think about this aspect at that time. Once he put on his official uniform in this era, there would definitely be someone who would immediately get along with others, and his whole person would change.

Leaving Xu Ping aside, Xu Zheng continued to ask his in-law Lin Wensi for his experience in dealing with officials. After becoming an official, he could no longer be a shopkeeper in the shop. Xu Zheng always had to find something to do, so he tried his best to collect information from the families of officials around him and go around when he had time.

Li Yonghe also had a group of friends who were officials, but they were all lower-level military officers, and Xu Zheng looked down upon them. You should know that he was a civil servant. Although he had no specific position, his identity was there. How could he deal with the little martial officials? Of course, civil servants had the dignity of civil servants.
