Tang Dynasty good man

The first sixty-two chapters of winter, a little cold

The lingering rain in late autumn and the slightest mist ushered in the winter of AD 655.I miraculously came to this dynasty at the end of the fourth year of Yonghui. Now it is the sixth year of Yonghui. It is very interesting. In less than a year and a half, I have experienced the three calendars of Yonghui.He opened the cheating device and used the knowledge that should not have appeared in this dynasty to gradually change the fate of himself and the people around him, from a down-and-out nobleman to a wealthy nobleman, from a baron to an earl, from a small landlord to a middle-class landlord, and all the time. He secretly owned two well-known companies, maybe three, and the egg-changing workshop is still in preparation, and it only has a reputation in the aristocratic circle, and the folks are still unfamiliar with the egg-changing.

Variety.Except that I am still free and undisciplined, the people around me have more or less changed, including the sharecroppers on my farm. At least they no longer worry about winter.The paper-making workshop and toilet water workshop have absorbed a large amount of labor during the slack season, and the farmhouse has been rejuvenated in the bleak and idle winter. Coupled with a series of relocation and expansion projects, even the idle labor in Waizhuang can be exchanged for labor in this harvestless season. It was a waste of money to make some work, and the big pot for boiling bones was set up on the construction site and was steaming from morning to night. The Wang family was absolutely unambiguous in terms of wages and food. The strong laborers not only took their wages but also saved their rations for the family. Everyone worked extremely hard. .

Exploitation, Chiguoguo's exploitation.I stood on the small slope and looked at the enthusiastic crowd on the construction site. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Two meals a day and eight Wen wages can be so tempting. An unscrupulous contractor like me, In the 21st century, it has long been reviled and paralyzed.

"Young Lord, I'm looking for a helper here, it's just an act of charity!" Steward Qian rubbed his hands regretfully. He has always had objections to my wages, thinking that four coins a day is enough, and eight coins is a waste. Instilled bad consciousness in the laborers.Who will find helpers in the future.If one person does not pay enough eight coins a day, they cannot start working. "Our family should be sympathetic to the farmers, but most of the people here are not from our village, they are all here for food and change, which is too bad."

"If you lose a little, just finish the project quickly within half a month. If it gets colder, you won't be able to relocate." I want to act magnanimously, and the values ​​of the 21st century cannot be reflected in this dynasty.Do as the Romans do. "Starting tomorrow, the amount of work will increase, and the wages will increase to 16 renminbi. Let them put in all their energy. If the project is completed before No. [-] of this month, each person will get a [-] renminbi bonus."

"Ah!" Steward Qian's old face trembled a few times, with great reluctance, "This... You see, No. 16 has been completed before, and if you reward it, it's not a waste of money. How about This processing fee will be waived, and the reward of ten coins for the completion of No.13 before is also reasonable."

"Okay." I smiled and looked at Butler Qian. The old man is a delicate person, he knows how to keep his face down and save money, which is much higher than the level of a swollen face like me. "Uncle Qian, just make it right, and do as you say. Also, what did you do when you came back with so much millet (millet) yesterday? The granary is full. It's a good idea to eat a few bites of that stuff. It tastes bad if you eat it too often. It’s gone.” Yesterday, the family bought half a warehouse of broomcorn millet from Gou’s farm in the south, and at night Ying made a big pot of red dates and millet porridge, occasionally eating miscellaneous grains was good for her appetite, but she brought back more than a dozen carts early in the morning.I am a little puzzled.

"It's cheap for those guys, and they can live a prosperous year this year. Speaking of millet, how can I keep telling you to eat that stuff and save it for the next year." The housekeeper pointed to the open space behind the bridge, "This When the work is finished, let labor rush to build the barn, which is much easier than building a house for the farmers, and it can be completed in a month at most. Since our family feeds by ourselves, we add boiled ground millet to the hay in winter to keep the animals through the winter. The animals can’t be treated badly if they are tired for a year. It’s also good to work hard in the spring.”

"Oh, but millet is a good thing. People often eat some. In winter, the two wives promise to have rice porridge with millet and red dates every day." It makes sense, but I don't like porridge, especially eight-treasure porridge. It's refreshing to make a bowl of mutton soup. "I'll forget it, I'm not used to eating. When buying things from farmers in the future, try to give them cash as much as possible, and the same is true on the construction site."

Farmers have little money on hand.It's not a joke, many farmers can't even find a penny in their homes.I didn't believe it at first when I heard the words, but only after seeing the farmer who handed in the eggs did I know it was true.The fourth child built a shed next to the dew water workshop, and sent special personnel to buy eggs from village households. When the copper coins were handed over to them, only a few people were willing to accept them. Most people were used to exchanging some grain or linen and leaving. As for the copper coins, they didn’t care much. .The labor on the construction site is the same. When they go to work, they bring a basket. When they go to work, they turn their wages into grain and take them away. Some people don’t want wheat, so they pick millet for packaging. That’s cheap, and it looks more weighty when full. .Typical self-sufficient commodity awareness, folk Yishi tradition, not much interest in money.

Whether it is good or bad, I have no idea.Although Yishi can maintain the simplicity of the farmers, it is a primitive and backward way after all.But having said that, the copper coins in the Tang Dynasty were far from enough, and the copper coins in this era were so scarce that even the emperor wanted to secretly change concepts on copper coins and silver cakes. The folks can imagine.

"Hehe," Steward Qian was also a little embarrassed, "They are used to it. After all, there has been no famine in recent years, and they are frightened of hunger. Not to mention them, there are only a few families who can eat two meals a day, like our family. There is no other restaurant in Chang’an City that can eat pot helmets even when getting up early.”

It's not a good habit to get up early and eat pot knuckles. The housekeeper is just boasting.I eat three meals a day with status. I am kind-hearted, and I can't bear to eat by myself while others watch me, so I also changed the meals of the servants to three meals.It doesn't matter if you change it, the whole world knows that the servants of the Wang family eat well, and the taste changes after passing it around, and it becomes a joke that everyone eats pots and helmets when they wake up in the morning.

"The rumored scorpion tigers gnaw on pot helmets. Fortunately, they can figure it out. They ate that one early in the morning, haha." After pulling up his clothes, it had only rained outside, and the water vapor was strong, and when the wind blew over, it was cold. "The wasteland behind is occupied by paper workshops. Now, there is not much land in front of Zhuangzi, and it will be crowded in the back, and you can’t even find a place to plug in.” When I came here last year, Zhuangzi was still desolate, but now it has been fully planned, with paper mills, toilet water, etc. There are factories, a large area of ​​newly built residential areas, and a barn under construction.Egg-changing workshop, chicken feed... Zhuangzi has lost the sense of spaciousness, and the population has increased a lot. With the addition of ordering merchants coming and going, the bustling is bustling, but it has lost the charm of an idyllic farm. It is not a house when you go out. It's just human, it's a pity.

"That's not true. The old man also gnawed on it for a few days, and he couldn't take it anymore. He didn't have that good appetite to quench his thirst." The housekeeper patted his stomach and laughed, "It's a big change when you talk about our Zhuangzi. The old man often stands here alone I shed tears when I saw it happily. In less than two years, I have completed the decades of road. The houses are built in pieces. No one has such a big hand. It is all thanks to you, Xiaohou. .”

"Credit? You still have credit?" Lan Ling rubbed his flat belly with a look of displeasure. "It's been almost three months, and there's been no movement. I'll go to the villa when I'm done." Having said this, she blushed and bit her lip.Shyly said: "Don't think you can let you go."

"Are you a breeding animal? If you say you have it, you have it?" I was squeezed by Ying yesterday, and Lanling brought it up again when he came over in the morning, "What three months, and you still learn arithmetic. Break off your toes and count together, see Has it been two months?" In this day and age, if you don't have descendants at my age, it's useless even if you earn a house full of gold and silver, and you're embarrassed to say hello to people when you go out.Especially Ying, she asked her to go around all the fortune-telling stalls in temples and Taoist temples all over Chang'an, but she didn't respond at all, if I didn't stop her.There are plans to demolish other people's temples. "It's annoying enough to have a life-threatening person at home. Why did you jump out and make a fuss? Where did you just say it? How did it get involved in this matter?"

Lan Ling shook his head and smiled, and suddenly said seriously: "It's about the Liu family. If you have friendship with the Liu family, you can break it off if you can. I'm afraid his family won't be able to pass this hurdle, so don't be implicated. No matter how much you say, I won't It’s hard to say, you are a smart person, you can see through it with one click. You know what to do next.”

"The Liu family?" The Liu family is the family of Queen Wang's uncle.Zhongshuling Liushi is the uncle of Queen Wang, who belongs to a powerful relative.He doesn't have much friendship in private, and he can't get along with him on the face of it, he just met a few sons of his family a few times, and it's just an official accent. "Don't worry, what kind of power do they have, how can we ordinary people cling to the ground? You also think highly of me."

The fall of the Liu family must have been caused by something happened to Queen Wang.Did Wu mm do it?Lan Ling and I rarely mentioned the affairs of the palace, that is to say, I mentioned it in a word, but from the tone and expression, it can be seen that she doesn't have much affection for the current empress.Just from the fact that the Liu family's downfall could be related to the pregnancy, one can see her position, which belongs to the faction of gloating.

In fact, when it comes to the Liu family and Queen Wang, I still have some sympathy.Queen Wang was born in a famous family, and her grandmother was Tong Anchang Princess, the younger sister of Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty.When Li Zhi named Jin Wang, the Na Wang family was the concubine of Jin.Even if he didn't know his background, he came here in the same boat with Li Zhi, so he showed his heartlessness.Maybe the aptitude is too mediocre and unpopular, but who knows, at least even a powerful princess like Lanling has not been able to win over, which is a bit unreasonable.Although the Liu family is said to be a powerful family, it is still somewhat popular and has a good reputation in the local area. I have never heard of such things as bullying. It is much better than the reputation of the Cheng family.

With all the eggs in the nest, how can there be any eggs? The Wang family and the Liu family's relatives vent their anger from one nostril, and now the top starts to fight, and no one can escape.After coming for such a long time, I still have this wink, and it's best for me to hide far away.There is also the Changsun family. I almost forgot. The Wang and Liu families are trivial matters. If the cancer in the Changsun family is not surgically removed, the Li family will not even be able to sleep well. There is no reason to be troublesome once you get your hands on it.

Li Zhi couldn't stand his uncle any longer. Although his own rise to power was the result of his eldest grandson Wuji's support, it was his elder grandson's fault to rely on the old and sell the old.Not to mention Li Zhi, at least half of the big families in Chang'an applauded the downfall of the Changsun family. They were too powerful, too oppressive, and too defiant.The last time I went out to play with Cheng Chu and the others, I was rolled my eyes by the two brats from the eldest grandson’s family. It wasn’t everyone’s pull, and Cheng Chu might cause trouble, but this time he indirectly vented his anger on him.

"You want that too." I, La Lanling, sat next to me, "You worry about too many things in a day, don't think that you are safe because of your status, maybe you will be aware of jealousy when you block people's way No, people complain for nothing. Sometimes, it’s not a bad thing to learn from me.”

"Listen to your lord." Lan Ling turned his face and leaned closer, with a soft expression on his face, "Once this matter is over, it will be hard to say. With my lord here, I will keep my self-discipline and learn. I have done needlework. She raised her face, blushed, and said softly and shyly: "If you are still worried, isn't this concubine's stomach still empty? After adding a child, I will no longer want to show off. Woman, no How can you be content with all this?"

This appearance of Lanling is the most beautiful, without the pampering of the past, the demeanor of a little woman is fascinating. "This matter can't be rushed. If you have a child, you can't force it. You can't say that if you don't have a child, you can go out and play tricks. You are too smart. If you are a little silly, I like it more."

"Understood, this makes sense." Lan Ling smiled and pulled his soft chair over to join mine, and lay down next to me. "There is no room for smart people to live in this world. Don't worry about me. I'm as good at pretending to be confused as you are. I'm playing petty temper in front of you. I want to compete with you. Outside of mathematics, few people say that I'm smart." , but there are a lot of rumors about my indiscretion."

"That's good, ha ha." I gave Lan Ling a sideways look, and said with a smile: "Men. I told you the fable about the sour grapes if you can't eat them. That's the truth. This means I know you, or I don't know you." Followed them to spread rumors outside. Hehe."

"Men, those who are capable have a bad heart, but those with a good heart have no ability." Lan Ling turned to face me, his eyelids flickering, "If I meet a capable and sincere man early, I won't be as cheap as you .It’s a rumor. If you say too much, it will become true. Isn’t it true now?”

"That's because I'm capable and kind, and others can't do it." I proudly scratched Lan Ling's nose, and saw her react violently, limp on the chair, and laughed badly. "Starting tomorrow, your homework will be suspended. Be a woman honestly. Leave it to your husband to show your face in public."

"At first I thought you were capable, but actually..." Lan Ling stroked his heaving chest.She smiled coquettishly and said: "Actually, I was the one who lost my mind. You haven't missed any of the bad habits of men, such as treacherous, slanderous and lazy. As for being kind-hearted, it just looks kind. Is it easy to coax others? Me, Being deceived first, and then being deceived by others, it’s all about accepting fate, what’s the point of being proud?”

"Cut," the mouth is stiff, who was crying and wanting to have a baby just now? "I haven't complained yet, you're just like Dou E. It's not sure who will take advantage of who. My weak bones these days are all sequelae brought back from the villa."

"Who is Dou Goose?" Lan Ling's face was a little strange, and he squinted at me with a sly smile, and rushed, "I was married to Dou Di, and I am still a widow of the Dou family. Do you think it is interesting to arrange people like this?" ?”

"Ah!" It's messed up, Lanling doesn't love me the most now when I mention Dou's family, she thinks I'm sarcastic, "No, you can't be sensitive. This Dou'e is a short story from a place in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period , the story is about a surnamed Dou..." This story was translated by me to an unknown small country in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it happened again, and Dou E was avenged 2000 years in advance. Maybe she should thank me?

"It's the first time I heard it. It must be a story you made up temporarily." Lan Ling listened to it with pleasure, sighed for a long time, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I don't care about you, but this goose needs to change its surname to Wang. alright."

"You can still laugh at such a bleak story?" Lan Ling's views on these wrongful and unjust cases were different from ordinary people, and his nerves were firm.I once told this story with Ying, and Ying couldn't stand it when she heard about the murder, and she burst into tears.Contemptuously said: "There is no sympathy."

"This matter, maybe there is. False and false cases have existed since ancient times, and there are many people who complained about death. This Dou... the daughter of the Wang family is lucky. Her father was elected as an official, so she came back to avenge her..." Lan Ling was depressed. He pondered for a while, looked at me with displeasure, and said with a smile: "Isn't this too fake? During the Spring and Autumn Period, some people went to Beijing to catch the exam? Then Dou E's father, a poor student, even gave his daughter to others in exchange for money to go to Beijing. With no one to rely on, how could he be able to serve as such a big official and return to his hometown in three years? Besides, even the injustice case didn’t say that the court officials should be killed as soon as they said it, right? If you speak out, be careful to be charged with slandering the court. You lied." After saying that, he jumped up and pinched me.

It’s not good to be with Lanling, she knows it’s a folktale and she’s still looking for bugs, it’s hard for me to argue, she thinks it’s the same as Li Tang.Guan Hanqing, you are more wronged than Dou E. "Telling a story, why not? The strength of your hand is so strong, it hurts to pinch people." When Lan Ling acted like a baby, I had to have a dike. end.After finally subduing Lan Ling, he hugged her tightly in his arms and panted, "Don't make trouble, listen to me. You go back and clean up today, and we will go to the villa for a while tomorrow morning. Some things, avoid Well, looking at it from afar, it's safe and lively."

"Okay," Lan Ling nodded obediently, "I will go back and prepare now.

In October, along with the cold wind of early winter, the city of Chang'an was involved in a historically famous political struggle. The successive downfall of the Liu family and the Wang family made the people in the capital terrified and in danger everywhere.
