Daming talker

Chapter 14 The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish?
It has been two days since Lin Tai came to work in the fish market, and he is gradually getting familiar with the environment here, and there are quite a few details that are beyond his expectations.

For example, in wholesale transactions here, there is no use of tools such as scales to weigh catties, but fish buckets.

This fish bucket is very similar to a bucket used for harvesting grain. It is a standard weighing instrument made by the county government, and there are two types of large and small.

Fill the fish bucket with fish, a large bucket will be counted as ten catties, and a small bucket will be counted as two and a half catties.

Usually, the fish bucket is kept by old man Tang. Every time a transaction is made, an application must be made to old man Tang for the use of the fish bucket, and a fee of [-] Wen or [-] cents should be paid.

The hundred and ten taels of fees collected every year are accumulated in this way, and the level of market management in this era is just like this.

Although Lin Tailai is familiar with the environment, it does not mean adapting, especially the strong fishy smell.

There are two rooms in the fish market, which are used by those who watch the scene and keep important items such as fish buckets, but Lin Tailai doesn't like to sit in the fish market.

He placed the reclining chair on the upper air vent outside the fence of the fish market, near the water surface of the Xu River, tried his best to avoid the smell of fish, and then lay down comfortably.

At this moment, his mood seemed to have calmed down, and it seemed that it was a long way away to blow up the head of the Heyi Hall on the night of Nanhao Street.

Since time travel, all kinds of things have been very tense, one after another, until now there is a little leisure time.

In the early spring of February, although it is warm and cold, the sunshine is not bad today.

Holding a blade of grass, humming a ditty, basking in the sun, looking at the hard-working farmers on the other side across the sparkling river.

For a moment, Dr. Lin seemed to feel that it would be good to just guard the fish market.

Although the income of young people in associations is not high, they are regarded as idlers, and there is a lot of danger. There are cases of being beaten to death and maimed.

But the biggest advantage of the mixed society is that you don't have to work hard to farm the land and be arrested by the government to serve in the military. This is one of the reasons why Dr. Lin is still in the hall without running away.

As for the danger, Dr. Lin feels that this body still has a sense of security, as long as it is prevented from being broken by drinking, there is no big problem.

Speaking of the sense of security, Lin Tailai thought of the military objects that were being made in the blacksmith shop in the town.

The things I want are a little complicated. After the iron materials and labor are added, the price is very expensive. Even if it is a cooperative blacksmith shop, I can't give it to myself for nothing.

There was no other way, so Lin Tailai had no choice but to make another trip to the hall to find Uncle Song, the accountant in charge of the club's finances. In the name of a bonus, he applied for a little production funding, and then barely paid the bill.

If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools, and it is very worthwhile to spend money on equipment.

The fish market is different from other markets in that the peak trading hours are in the morning and evening.After the market closed in the dark, the trio came to Dr. Lin's recliner to report on today's situation.

Dr. Lin suddenly said: "Should we invite the inspection department to have a meal and make a relationship?"

The law and order in the city depended on the yamen servants and the firemen in the neighborhood, while the law and order outside the city depended on the inspection department.

There are [-] inspection departments set up around Suzhou city, basically every town has an inspection department, and Hengtang Town is no exception.

Under normal circumstances, the inspection department and the hall do not offend the river, because the previous family is the county government, but their functions are different.

Lin Tailai thought, if there is a big fight in the fish market, ah no, after the deepening of the restructuring, maybe there will be a place to use the inspection department.

Dr. Lin is not worried that there will be mass incidents when the conflicts intensify, he can handle this by himself.

What he is worried about is that under the action of the market rules of the commodity economy, the fish sellers will leave the Hengtang fish market and sell fish elsewhere.

Therefore, the inspection department with law enforcement power may be needed to help, set up a checkpoint at Hengxukou, and block all fish selling boats from Taihu Lake in the west and Shihu Lake in the south in Hengtang Town.

Old man Tang nodded: "I should invite you, after all, the inspection department is an official office with soldiers in hand, so there is no danger in making a good relationship.

The only problem is, do you have the money to make friends with the inspection department? "

Lin Tailai: "."

Damn, the idea is good, but there is no money!

Even the cost of building the equipment took a lot of effort, and it was specially approved by Uncle Song.

Sometimes I think, just be a pure gold medalist, then I won't have so many career-related worries.

"Let's talk about the contents of the reform of the fish market!" Lin Tailai said with a little disinterestedness: "The first one is to collect sanitation fees! Look at the mess in the fish market, all kinds of garbage are everywhere, how decent it is!
Therefore, a sanitation fee is charged, but anyone who wants to sell fish in the fish market must first pay the sanitation fee before entering the market!

Looking back, I will find two old people who are too old to do heavy work from the surrounding villages, take care of a few meals, and let them clean the fish market! "

"Sit in the hall and see you!" The trio responded together.

In fact, I think that the name is not important, what is important is how to carry it out, which requires sitting in the hall to convince the merchants.

Lin Tailai continued: "Second, start collecting booth fees from now on!"

Old man Tang said with doubts: "The stall fee mentioned by the sitting hall is a variant of the merchant's stall money?
However, according to the regulations of the imperial court, only street vendors with shops, stores, or fixed facilities are allowed to collect door-to-door silver.

The fish sellers in the fish market, even those who sell dried and salted fish, place them randomly in baskets, never have fixed stalls, and do not meet the conditions for receiving money from stalls. "

Dr. Lin said thoughtfully: "It's the booth fee, not the door-to-door booth fee! As for your claim that there is no basis for charging without a fixed booth, this is indeed a problem.

But that's okay, draw a grid on the fish market floor!Placement or trading must be done in the grid!Each grid is a booth! "

The trio in the fish market are speechless. Can the cost of sitting in the stall you drew be lower?
"And by regularly adjusting the booths, we can get an extra benefit!" Lin Tailai added based on his rich experience in film reading.

After digging his stomach, the old man Tang praised from the bottom of his heart: "The storyteller said that when the ancient sage King Wen of Zhou governed Xiqi, he could make the land a prison and rule Xiqi!

I think the act of sitting in the hall has the style of the ancients, and the little old man deeply admires it! "

Lin Tailai: "."

It's really unfortunate for the country that such a talent can only be wronged in the fish market as an old stickman in charge of fish fighting.

He also heard old man Tang say: "Sitting in the restaurant is so determined to forge ahead, I'm afraid the fish market is going to have a big storm!"

Lin Tailai couldn't help feeling something, and said with pride: "The greater the storm, the more expensive the fish!"

The two Wen and Wu brothers, who hadn't interrupted for a long time, said in surprise: "Is it the opposite of sitting in the restaurant? Obviously, the bigger the wind and the waves, the cheaper the fish."

Dr. Lin: "???"

It's rare for the two brothers to show off their knowledge with the sitting hall. You talk to each other, and they start to popularize science in detail.

"In Taihu Lake, the largest fishing boat is called a boat, which is often eight or nine feet long and operates in groups of four.

This kind of boat is too big to dock or enter the river. It can only float on the water of Taihu Lake, powered by wind and waves.

Only when there are strong winds and waves on Taihu Lake, can the boats be used for fishing, and the fish prices in the fish market are actually cheap.

If there is no wind and waves, the boat can only be anchored on the lake and cannot fish.

So, when the wind and waves are stronger, how can the price of fish be more expensive, hahahaha"

As for history, there are specializations in the art field, and no one can be proficient in all the subcategories, and Dr. Lin, who is half a bottle of vinegar, is no exception.

In the end, Lin Tailai ordered with a sullen face: "When the new fees start to be collected in a few days, you two brothers will go to the pier and directly collect money from the fish sellers ashore!"

A few days later, as Dr. Lin's sense of security further strengthened, the clarion call to improve the fish market sounded.

In the sunshine of early spring, Dr. Lin habitually enjoyed the comfort on the recliner, while old man Tang was beside him reporting on the matter.

Suddenly, a very eye-catching colorful boat appeared on the Xujiang River in the field of vision, and this colorful boat was gradually approaching the shore, of course, it was at the wharf slightly away from the fish market.

Dr. Lin immediately stood up and looked over expectantly. Could it be some famous lady or a famous girl on the colorful boat?
While imagining, a wooden plank was built from the colorful boat, and then a graceful woman came ashore.

Lin Tailai took a hard look twice, then was disappointed, and lay down again.

Isn't this the sister-in-law of Heyitang? She is still so energetic in filial piety, but it's a pity that she has no value in the field of humanities.

After Mrs. Fan landed on the shore, she turned her head and saw Lin Tailai who was also eye-catching, so she moved and walked over.

Then they greeted each other and said: "It's a coincidence, I didn't want to meet Lin Zhuangshi on the way. You are the number one hero in An Le Tang, and you are here to take care of the fish market."

Lin Tailai sighed in his heart, how could this treatment be like the protagonist of an online article, so he said very truthfully: "Didn't you just come here to find me, what are you talking about by chance? Everyone is an adult, so speak directly .”

The corner of Niangzi Fan's mouth twitched, and she responded, "You are really self-indulgent."

Immediately afterwards, a group of several people came from the town, and the leader was Wang Xunjian from the Inspection Department.

Mrs. Fan glanced at Lin Tailai provocatively, and then took a few steps towards Wang Xunjian, "How dare you disturb Master Wang to welcome him, and kill me!"

Wang Xunjian was grinning, and seemed to have an ulterior motive in saying: "The spring is very beautiful today, so I might as well come out to get some air!"

In a blink of an eye, the two came together, separated by more than ten steps from Lin Tailai, chatting and laughing.

Lin Tailai was speechless. Could it be that Lady Fan came to Hengtang Town to make an appointment with Wang Xunjian, and she really happened to meet her by chance?

The old man next to him twirled his sparse white beard and said quietly: "Sit in the restaurant! This bitch doesn't look like a good person!

She is deliberately getting close to other men in front of you, in order to arouse your jealousy and play with your heart! "

Lin Tailai secretly sighed, it is a loss for the country to let old man Tang waste his life.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the direction of the fish market.

Lin Tailai turned his head to look, but saw the two brothers Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu yelling and running towards him in panic.

And there are more than a dozen people chasing after them, all of them look like boat people selling fish!
Lin Tailai couldn't help sighing again, the contradictions intensified after all, and the reform of the fish market has a long way to go.
