The moon falling to the ground

Jian Yue smiled and nodded: "Really. In the future, you will not only have surplus food, but also surplus money. As long as you follow my footsteps faithfully, having enough food and warm clothes is the most basic thing."

The ten men were very excited, grinning foolishly, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Manager Liu was also very excited.

The tenants all had surplus food, so wouldn't he, as a steward, be richer than them? He couldn't help but look forward to it.

When Jian Yue and her companions left in the afternoon, the tenants all stood at the door to see them off. They did not walk back until they could no longer see the carriage. Only then did they happily chat as they walked back.

"Manager Liu, can we really make fertilizer according to Miss Jian's method?" asked a tenant.

"Manager Liu, do you think Miss Jian can really breed good seeds?"

Manager Liu was not sure either, but he could not undermine everyone's confidence: "Let's do it according to Miss Jian's method. Miss Jian will come to guide us from time to time. If it really succeeds, one acre of land will produce an extra 100 to 200 kilograms of grain. Just think about it, what does that mean?"

They don't know what it means, but they will definitely be very happy. Oh! I really look forward to that day coming soon.

The cost of living in the capital city is high, and the food, drink, and toilet expenses of dozens of people in a house are not small. However, as long as she can hold on until the next month, Jian Yue feels that she will have an income.

After Jian Yue returned, she asked her servants to clean up the shop on the left side of the gate and had someone customize a plaque.

The way Nanchang State controlled alcohol was somewhat similar to the "separation method" implemented during the Southern Song Dynasty. If you wanted to enter the winemaking industry, you could apply to the government and pay a certain amount of commitment deposit. The local government could also provide the venue, brewing utensils, and wine yeast. However, the winemakers had to prepare the raw materials for brewing. From the day of brewing, the winemakers had to pay alcohol tax.

There are two ways to pay the liquor tax in Nanchang. One is to pay a tax of three out of ten based on the amount of liquor sold. That is, if a liquor merchant sells ten kilograms of liquor, the local government will take the tax money for three kilograms of liquor. The advantage of this method is that if the liquor merchant is not doing well and cannot sell liquor, the government can stop paying taxes after verifying it.

Another way is to "book the whole place". That is, no matter whether you make a profit or a loss, you have to pay the prescribed liquor tax every month. The disadvantage of this method is that you have to pay for 20 years. Even if you have been in business for 10 years and the winery goes bankrupt, you still have to pay the liquor tax for the next 10 years.

So, who says that the ancients’ thinking was not advanced? Look at the system they developed. Is it similar to some marketing in later generations?

With Doctor Mao and Yun Zhonghe around, Jian Yue doesn't have to worry about these problems.

Although Yun Zhonghe was so poor that he had to set up a stall on the roadside to tell fortunes, he was very familiar with the legal system of Nanchang. After he told Jian Yue about it, Doctor Mao took over the task. Then, he turned around and passed the matter to Ji Yunzhong.

Ji Yunzhong didn't need to show up at all, and sent Manager Yu to the government office. After Yan Xiuyuan learned about it, he personally sent someone to supervise the matter and lowered the liquor tax to the lowest level: 20 taels of tax silver per month.

The winemaking recipes in Nanchang State are all monopolized by the rich and powerful. The Wen family is the leader. There are few winemakers in the private sector. Yan Xiuyuan was curious about who had the guts to open a winery in Yanling Prefecture and go against the Wen family's wine shop.

He sent someone to secretly check, and found Yue's house. Doctor Mao lived in Yue's house. Well! People who have a connection with Doctor Mao do have the capital.

Jian Yue was very busy, so busy that she almost forgot that she had a Jian family.

During this period, a big happy event also happened in the Jian family.

Jian Huaian went to Yanling Prefecture College to study.

Yanlingfu College is the best college in Yanlingfu. It is also the most authoritative college in Yanlingfu.

Normally, a country boy could not get in. But Jian Huaian got in. He did it through the help of Meng Tongzhi. It was Meng Yuan who stole Laozi's handwritten letter and went to find the dean of the college in person.

The Jane family was very happy and celebrated thoroughly.

Yan Xinning also sent gifts and told Jian Huaian that it was not easy to get into the academy, and asked him to study hard and pass the exam to become a scholar as soon as possible.

Jian Huaian was full of lofty ambitions, but his body was not up to the task. He had been taking tonics for so long, but his physical weakness had not improved. After he went to the academy with great ambitions, he could not stand for long. He was also drowsy and his mind was extremely unclear when the teacher was lecturing. As for what the teacher said, he did not hear a word.

Some teachers had always looked at this transfer student who got in through the back door with tinted glasses. Now that he dozed off in the first class, the teacher was furious and his face turned blue.

"Jian Huaian!" The Master roared like a lion, which frightened Jian Huaian and he stood up subconsciously.

"Put your hand out!" The teacher was furious and hit him hard with a ruler.

Jian Huaian shivered in pain, clenching his teeth tightly and not daring to make a sound. It would be too embarrassing if he screamed out in pain.

All the students in the school looked at him with strange eyes. Jian Huaian felt like a thorn in his side, wishing there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into.

Not long after he sat down, stroking his swollen hands, he became too sleepy to open his eyes and could not concentrate.

Snapped!

This time, the teacher's ruler hit him hard on the shoulder.

Jian Huaian was instantly refreshed by the pain. He quickly stood up, feeling ashamed and embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Teacher, I'm sorry, student..."

The master sneered: "If you don't want to learn, then don't come here to make up the numbers."

Jian Huaian was shocked.

If he was kicked out by the teacher of Yanling College, it would be like sentencing him to death. No other college in Yanling would dare to accept him.

"Master, I really didn't mean it. I was ill and haven't recovered yet, so I couldn't control my fatigue. I didn't want to delay my studies, so I dragged my sick body to study. But my body is not good enough, and I failed your teachings." Jian Huaian explained humbly. No matter what, he must not be expelled from the academy.

The teacher's expression eased a little, and his words became much gentler: "If your body can't hold on, don't force it. It's better to take care of your body before you study again!"

Jian Huaian bowed and said: "Thank you for your concern, Master. I will take a few more doses of medicine when I go home, and I will recover soon."

After class, although the other students didn't like him, they didn't make things difficult for him. After all, he was protected by Meng Yuan.

Jian Huaian asked for leave from his teacher and returned home early.

Jian Dacheng and his wife were very surprised. After learning the reason, they quickly took him to Huichuntang.

Doctor Qi is the master in Huichun Hall.

As an old patient, Dr. Qi felt indifferent when he saw this family.

Since coming to the provincial capital, there has been no peace in their family.

After carefully checking Jian Huaian's pulse, Doctor Qi frowned and asked, "Didn't you take the medicine I prescribed for you to regulate your body?"

Qian said hurriedly: "Doctor Qi, I have taken it, and I have taken it on time every day, but there is no improvement."

Doctor Qi looked confused...
