And for merchants, what kind of punishment is the most terrible?

Beheading, ransacking homes?

K.

But Zhao Xu couldn't deal with so many people at once.

It's impossible for him to do such a thing, it's not in line with his character.

Hence, the current policy.

Let them think of today with heartache and regret in the future.

At the same time, let those guys behind them wake up: Your wealth is given by me.

Not following me would be disloyal.

There is no reward for disloyalty!

There may even be penalties!

Thinking like this, Zhao Xu clenched his little hands.

He certainly has reason to be angry.

The reason is very simple. The two dozen or so wine merchants who owe him money are different from most other businessmen doing business in Bianjing City.

For other businessmen, making a fortune from doing business can be attributed to a combination of intelligence, luck and sweat.

But these wine merchants are different.

They are completely the products of the policy, and they feed off Zhao Xu.

Now, these guys who are eating Zhao Xu's food are doing things like breaking the pot!

It is tolerable, but what is intolerable?

Thinking like this, Zhao Xu told Song Yongchen: "After the liquor brewed by these six wine merchants is put on the market, if there are still wine merchants, they have not clearly recognized their position."

"Then, starting from March, Guanquyuan will no longer give them credit for music."

"They have to pay as much as they buy the distiller's yeast. They can't lose a penny. If it's less, they won't sell it."

"No!" Song Yongchen lowered his head.

Zhao Xu closed his eyes and sat on the mattress.

When he did this, no one could find fault with him.

Even if those people went to complain in front of the two palaces, it would be useless.

Because Zhao Xu has given them enough opportunities and face.

They were the ones who refused to drink the toast themselves but had to drink the fine wine. Zhao Xu satisfied them, which was reasonable and reasonable.

To be honest, Zhao Xu is still willing to supply them with wine koji.

Instead of directly expelling these guys from the ranks of the main stores in Bianjing, it is already the end of benevolence and justice.

They should be grateful.

Note: The system of quequ in the Northern Song Dynasty was very distinctive. It was a credit system.

That is to say, sell the wine first and then collect the money.

Generally, the accounting period is based on the year, and the money for this year's liquor is usually paid in the first month of the next year.

In this way, wine merchants can have more capital turnover space.

And the government's distiller's yeast can also be sold in more quantities and better.

At the same time, since it is on credit, the government will try its best to facilitate the wine merchants.

So that they can make money and continue to buy high-priced liquor from the government.

In a sense, this kind of system design actually indirectly tied the royal family and the merchants of the main store together.

Therefore, some people say that the Northern Song Dynasty was the dynasty most likely to develop capitalism.

This makes sense.

Of course, if things develop under normal circumstances, this process will be extremely long.

Because the Northern Song Dynasty was a feudal dynasty, and because in the eyes of the Northern Song emperor, merchants were actually just wage earners.

Taking the main store in Bianjing as an example, the emperor's only purpose in supporting these people was to squeeze them and make them work for him and make money.

Nuomi money and white waste money are the best evidence.

Therefore, the main stores in Bianjing are constantly rotated and replaced.
