Chapter 107 The big difference between voluntary and forced
Chapter 107 The big difference between voluntary and forced
In Jinchangfang, there are people who make lanterns for money.
After Yunchu arranged the matter, he didn't care about it, and he didn't know how to tie a Kongming lantern, so even if he came up with an idea, it was an unreliable idea.
Such a huge Kongming lantern was an unprecedented challenge for Zhang He's family. The family has been doing this job for three generations.
Zhang He looked at the money piled up on the table, and wanted to give up the job several times, but seeing his family's glowing eyes looking at the pile of copper coins, he decided to give it a try.
For the next four days, my whole family should stop thinking about going to sleep.
A lamp, thirty pennies!
When Yun Chu returned home, the Cui family also came back from outside the city. The news they brought back was not good. The tenants in charge of managing the nearly two hundred acres of land were unwilling to serve such a small family as the Yun family. After Lord Hou gave it to the Yun family, those tenants followed him to the big village less than ten miles away from this small village, which was also owned by Liang Jianfang.
"The words of those few families can piss people off, they put themselves in the position of loyal servants, and they mean that they will starve to death and not come to our house.
No matter how good the conditions are, it's useless. Even if the concubine said that she was going to buy two cattle for them to order, it would not win their hearts back.
I really don't understand, it's just a few tenants, they are starving and thin, and their clothes are patched and patched. They are treated like livestock by Liang Hou's family, and they show affection.
As soon as the concubine arrived, those people left Zhuangzi with their wives and children on their backs. The concubine had no choice but to leave Fei Jiu to watch the door.
Sir, do you want to recruit some more tenants? "
Yunchu smiled bitterly and said, "The question is where do you recruit tenants?" "
Cui said with a smile, "Jinchang Square."
"These people are used to living in the city, I'm afraid no one wants to be a farmer?"
Cui smiled lightly and said: "As long as the lord agrees, I will go to Fangzheng to discuss an idea. In this city, not all the people living in the city are from the city." "
Seeing that Cui Shi was full of confidence, Yunchu nodded and continued to carve his own chess with a small knife. He wanted to teach this little girl how to play chess after Naha came back.
Chess also existed in the Tang Dynasty. It is called Xiangxi, but it is a basic version of chess. There are no horses, guns, or soldiers. The rules are also very simple, almost like a wolf eating a baby, and it is not interesting at all.
Yunchu suddenly surpassed a junior prime minister of the Tang Dynasty named Niu Sengru, and directly took out the ultimate version of chess.
A different socialite should have one or two means that others can't match. Although Naha is about to become a top Buddhist lady, Yunchu doesn't mind raising this child's level.
Cui's work efficiency is very high. She went out in the evening and came back when it was dark. When she came back, she brought back sixteen gardeners.
"Lang Jun, it's not cost-effective to grow food in our family's grain field, and it's not cost-effective to grow fruit trees. I plan to use all of it to grow flowers."
"Planting flowers?" Hearing what Cui said, Yunchu was a little surprised. Could it be that the poor Tang people have already evolved to appreciate fresh-cut flowers and trees?
"I've asked someone before. In April next year, the price of peonies and peonies will not be low."
Yun Chu nodded and said, "There's no problem with peonies, it's no problem to bloom in the same year when they were planted in the past, but peonies are not planted in the same year, they will be harvested in the same year.
Besides, you want to plant flowers and trees on two hundred acres of land. Have you asked if Wannian County is in the county? Do you know that according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, first-class land cannot be abused. I heard that there are problems with growing vegetables. You still want to plant flowers ? "
"Oh, my lord, there are rules for planting flowers. You and Naha's Yongye field, Koufen field, and family's official field have all grown food. The whole family only has two hundred acres of private land, so even if you take it all Planting flowers should also be done.”
Yunchu scratched his head and said, "I don't know where my Yongye Tian, Koufen Tian, and Guan Tian are."
Cui curled her lips: "It's in Fengxiang, I heard it's in the mountains."
Yun Chu nodded. He is familiar with Fengxiang. If his official farmland, Yongye farmland, and Koufen farmland are all on the mountain, then it must be on his mother's Taibai Mountain. No wonder the harvest there has been failing year after year. In his era , if there is no tourism, the people in Taibai Mountain may still not have enough to eat.
How can there be decent agriculture in a place where the temperature in summer does not exceed [-] degrees?
At the age of 12, Liang Jianfang mixed with Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and later with Emperor Taizong. He made contributions early, so his family's fields are all near Chang'an.
Unlike Yunchu, who jumped out of the cracks in the rocks, Fangzheng and the others deliberately brought him to Taibai Mountain, a place where wild beasts have slaughtered villages all the year round, in order to make him safer. Therefore, his Yongye Fields, Koufen fields, and official fields are naturally all in Taibai Mountain.
After feeling sad for himself for a while, Yun Chu said: "Since the imperial court has this rule, you can plant flowers and trees in our family's land, but you must make it clear to the county government, register in the register, and the rules cannot be broken."
"I understand." Hearing that the head of the family handed over the power to him again, Cui smugly led a group of gardeners away.
Yun Chu looked at the Cui family who was leaving, and shook his head, there was no way, this woman from the Cui family in Qinghe was really powerful.
Yunchu knew that the reason Cui wanted to plant flowers and trees in the field was because of the large-scale flower and tree planting project that would be carried out immediately after the spring of Jinchangfang.
It's too late to plant any flowers this year, but with this farm that specializes in planting flowers and trees, she dares to buy flowers and trees from other places, and then sell them to Jinchangfang and Da Ci'en Temple to earn a lot of money.
People in the Tang Dynasty liked orchids before, and the beautiful wild orchids in Qinling and Zhongnan Mountains were almost dug up.
Over the years, because Taejong and Queen Seondeok of Silla liked to use peonies to tease each other, people in Tang Dynasty suddenly fell in love with peonies, peonies, which have more flowers than leaves.
Ever since Emperor Taejong and Queen Seondeok of Silla used peony eyebrows to express love, Queen Seondeok didn’t know what to think, because the peony picture given to her by Emperor Taejong didn’t draw bees and butterflies, so a peony without fragrance came out. in conclusion.
Then, Queen Seondeok thought that the meaning of Emperor Taizong's gift of this pair of fragrance-free peonies is-you are my woman, so don't attract bees and butterflies!
Then, Queen Seondeok was really unmarried and firmly held the power of Silla. Once she was threatened by powerful officials or bullied by Goguryeo, she immediately embroidered a few words on the handkerchief with needle and thread and sent it to Gao Gouli by the way. Call out—husband, help!
Then, Emperor Taizong would be furious, instead of ordering to reprimand Goguryeo and ask them to keep their duties.It is to send a hero to act as an envoy, and take thousands of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty to Silla by boat to support Queen Seondeok...
After the death of Emperor Taizong, Queen Seondeok began to embroider handkerchiefs for Li Zhi. It seemed that Queen Seondeok had already determined that she was the life of the Tang Emperor's wife in this life.
Therefore, peonies sell very well in Chang'an and Luoyang. As long as the peonies are in full bloom, anyone with a little spare money at home will buy peonies for a little extravagance.
Thinking of this, Yunchu once again rejoiced that he had used such a little money to get such a good housekeeper for his family.
Yunchu had carved the chess pieces and was about to color them when the old monkey came. Yunchu looked at the cold moon in the sky and asked, "How did you come into my house?"
"Over the wall."
Seeing the old monkey answer so confidently, Yunchu found himself speechless.
"Why didn't you bring Naha?"
"Naha is fasting and taking a bath, so she can't come out."
Thinking about the suffering that Naha, who loves meat and dislikes, is suffering, Yunchu couldn't help but ask, "Can you ask Cui Shi to deliver food to Naha tomorrow?"
The old monkey thought for a while and shook his head and said: "The child has been pestering me for chicken legs, beef, and mutton these days, and even used some tricks and violence. I still didn't agree to her. Now, she has finally accepted her fate. Don't hurt her holy life any more."
Yun Chu sighed slightly and said, "Did you win the battle with Daoyue's disciples and grandchildren?"
The old monkey shook his head and said: "The Zen courtyard was burned down, but the large amount of money left by Daoyue was not found."
Yun Chu was surprised and said: "You burned down his Buddhist temple for money?"
The old monkey said: "It's not for the money, is it for the Buddha?"
Yun Chu leaned back and said strangely: "Isn't it a dispute between Taoism and law? It's not a dispute between sects?"
The old monkey shook his head and said: "The symbol of the prosperity of Buddhism is the number of temples and the number of believers. Whether it is temples or believers, people need to be built and preached.
You don't really think that you can turn into a huge temple and a group of devout believers just by asking for alms from the common people?
We didn't think about how much money we could get from Daoyue's disciples and grandchildren, we just wanted to let the common people know how much money Daoyue had. "
"Damaging Daoyue's reputation seems to be ruining your reputation too. As far as I know, Xiangji Kitchen is really a good place to make money.
Do you still remember the Buddha's footprints brought back by Ding Dayou from the Western Regions? "
The old monkey smiled triumphantly and said: "It has been placed in the Daci'en Temple. This year, at the water and land meeting on the first day of the year, it will appear together with the Buddha bone relic. As far as this matter is concerned, Ding Dayou has done a good job." really not bad."
"Jinchangfang is planning to get a gigantic Kongming Lantern, which will be released on the day of Shangyuan Festival. At that time, this Kongming Lantern will illuminate the entire Jinchangfang. Do you want to get one and keep it for the Water and Land Ceremony. "
"How big is it, can it fly?"
"It's as big as a house, so it must be able to fly."
The old monkey thought for a while and said, "How much money do you want to make on this matter?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "For Naha, I only charge the cost price, one hundred guan."
The old monkey said sadly, "Do you and I have to make a clear calculation like this?"
Yun Chu said in a low voice: "I threw a stone in the Imperial College, which almost became the biggest stain in my life."
"You've killed a lot before."
"Everyone I killed before was what I wanted to kill, but that time, you forced me to do it."
