Chinese dining table

Chapter 18 A Sincere Liar
In fact, Yunchu didn't have the heart to deal with these people. Now he was eager to return home, and he only thought about how to find a sense of belonging in Chang'an as soon as possible. help from merchants.

Because of different reasons, although you don’t accept the help on the surface, you are grateful to these people from the bottom of your heart. If anyone shows kindness like you, you must hurry up and grab it. This kind of opportunity is very precious, and Yunchu’s heart is like a mirror. , what's more, this precious feeling has never been divided into classes.

The merchants of the Tang Dynasty are really a group of poor people. They own property, but they don't even get the most basic respect in the eyes of the powerful and surnamed. Moreover, if their property does not have a strong backing, it will be a problem to even keep it.

In the Tang Dynasty at this time, a farmer was bullied by the powerful, and some scholars who stood up to help the farmer beat the powerful would often win in the end.

Even if he accidentally kicked on the iron board and got his head lost by the powerful, the reputation he left behind will definitely make the future of the descendants of scholars go further.

If you help a merchant who is being bullied by the rich and powerful... everyone will just spit in his face!
Merchants can only wear linen soap clothes, and soap-colored shoes with square heads that don't distinguish between left and right. Women can't wear color when they get married, and they can't wear silk.

The son of a merchant is not allowed to be an official, and he is not eligible to share the hereditary and sellable land like Yongye Field. He can only be allocated the mouthful land. After the person dies, it will be taken back by the state, and he has to pay a heavier tax than the farmer.

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, believed that merchants who did not engage in production and relied on buying low and selling high to make profits were exploiting the common people.

In addition, Fang Xuanling, the legendary prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, told the emperor: "Today, merchants are low-class, and Taiwan officials are low-grade. Official money is an insult to officials big and small."

Therefore, being a merchant in the Tang Dynasty is really a fierce event that can be called a dead end, and it is to gamble on the future of future generations.

Although Yunchu is sitting on the sidelines at this time, he must classify the types of rabbits. If he accepts the kindness of the merchants, he will only be able to deal with merchants in the future, and there is no other possibility.

Just like when he was working on a graduate visa, the most important first visa determines the height he can achieve in the future.

Yunchu believed that it was absolutely impossible for the Tang people to allow such an excellent young man like him to drift away in confusion and ignore him.

Therefore, he was going to rely on this method to face the Datang government directly, instead of the old Yangpi who had too much yearning for the Datang and became a little brain-dead, starting his own Datang road from becoming a vassal of the Sui people.

As for the fact that he didn't have Datang's identity certificate--it doesn't matter, this thing can be said to be lost.

As for the fact that he couldn't tell his hometown clearly and couldn't stand the inspection, it didn't matter. There was a scar on his head from when he caught blue sheep, which could explain the problem-he lost a memory.

If you don't believe me, you can go to the big Apogeska of the Aries Department to ask how this beautiful Tang Dynasty boy was rescued by the shepherdess Selema of the Aries Department and actively took care of his injuries.

As for why he remembered his name, it was even simpler. On Yunchu's waist was a jade tablet carved from suet white jade, engraved with such fresh and indifferent poems as "New rain falls on the Nanshan Mountain, and new clouds are born in the mountain stream". Calling Yun Chusheng doesn't sound good, it's a bit like swearing, so I had to call him Yun Chu!
However, there is a high probability that such interrogation will not occur. A young man who appears suddenly should not be worth their energy.

The process of government affairs has not changed for thousands of years on the land of China.

It's not that these people are slack, it's that they don't have the time and energy to deal with so many small things.

Returning to the Tang Dynasty was a big deal for Yunchu, but it was nothing more than a trivial matter for the officials.

However, it is better to prepare more plans.

"I haven't seen such a beautiful young man for many years." A burst of Tang Yin suddenly entered Yunchu's ear.

When I looked back, I found that it was a middle-aged fat man wearing a green official robe with a short beard.

It can be seen from this guy's tiger-like walking posture that he was not a civil servant before, but an unlucky guy who was kicked out of the ranks of generals. In Datang, military generals are more honored than civil servants.

This official uniform was obviously too small, and it didn't fit well. It was tight on the fat man, strangling him like a silkworm, with several bulges.

The color of blue and blue is the clothing of officials above the ninth rank of the Tang Dynasty.

This shirt doesn't fit the fat man, but the length is suitable. This can only show that this guy has gained weight when the official uniform was delivered.

This guy's official uniform was obviously sent from the pass, because the Western Regions couldn't make such an official uniform for him. Time has passed, and the samurai who left the army will become fat in a very short period of time. This factor is probably due to The person who made the official uniform for him did not expect it.

The above thinking is all in the blink of an eye.

Yunchu knew that the rabbit he had been waiting for had arrived, and the next step was to see how he would pick up the fat rabbit he had delivered to his door.

What is the point of lying?
Be sincere!
Be sure to use your sincere words, sincere expressions, and sincere actions to deceive your target!
Only in this way can your goal be achieved.

This set of Yunchu has been used with great proficiency, otherwise it would not have been reused at the age of 28.

Although this was his first real face-to-face confrontation with Tang Ren, he was full of confidence.

Since Yunchu himself had no way to prove that he was from Tang Dynasty, he had to leave the task of identifying whether he was from Tang Dynasty to the government.

Yunchu believed that he would be able to withstand the scrutiny of the government, which was why Yunchu was unwilling to use the method given by Lao Yangpi.

Although it is very risky, in terms of income, it should be the fastest.

Generally speaking, the administration of officials in the early Tang Dynasty was quite clear, and the personal conduct of officials in the early Tang Dynasty was basically trustworthy.

With these two foundations, Yunchu thought that he was invincible in this encounter.

So, Yun Chu turned around in a daze, lightly clasped his fists to the fat man opposite him and saluted, "The elder is absurd."

After finishing speaking, he was about to lead the horse out of the way and signaled the rough fat man to go first.

"Huh? Guanzhong boy?" The rough fat man didn't move, and was stunned for a moment when he heard Yunchu's standard Chang'an accent.

When he came to Yunchu, he looked him up and down for a long time, then picked up Yunchu's hand and looked him up and down, and found that there was a layer of calluses on the tiger's mouth, which was the mark left by Yunchu's diligent sword practice.

This is also in line with the traits of Guanzhong children who are good at martial arts. Looking at Yunchu's oblong face with thick eyebrows, ridges, and big eyes turned up, the fat man can already tell that this is a Guanzhong child.

But, why did such a child from Guanzhong appear in this remote place?Could it be that he sneaked out to find his father and brother serving in the frontier army?
Although there are not many such things, it is not unheard of.

When he was about to speak, he saw the row of homemade writing brushes unintentionally exposed from the cowhide backpack on Yunchu's back, so he frowned and asked, "Have you ever read a book?"

Yun Chu's expression became painful, as if he had fallen into a nightmare.

The rough fat man frowned as he looked around at the crowd watching the excitement, and said to the two guards in leather armor who followed him, "Take it back to the yamen."

After finishing speaking, he walked straight to the end of the street, where a dilapidated government office stood.

The two guards saw that Yunchu fell into a nightmare and couldn't help themselves, one of them took Yunchu's arm and led him forward, and the other guard followed behind with a bay red horse.

The merchants on both sides watched Yunchu leave with their feet up. To be honest, they also wanted to know why this good-looking kid appeared here alone.

The houses in Kucha are all rammed-earth houses, which are high in the back and low in the front, which is convenient for collecting rainwater.

The official government offices of the Tang Dynasty were naturally rammed earth houses. After entering, they discovered that this kind of narrow house is actually beneficial, that is, it is cooler under the scorching sun.

Summer is cool, so winter must be warm.However, there are only such benefits, and there are no other auxiliary functions other than the living function.

After entering the room, the fat man immediately took off his official uniform, revealing the short gown underneath, wearing a pair of crotch pants, and sat on a piece of wool felt lazily with his legs spread apart, kneeling opposite him. Yun Chu said.

"Little, hooligan, concubine, robber, bandit, thief, businessman, wealthy businessman, which one are you?"

Yun Chu shook his head, still at a loss.

"Officials, military households, artisan households, poor families, officials, nobles, imperial relatives?"

Seeing that Yunchu didn't react much, the fat man took a sip of cold water and asked again tentatively.

Yun Chu pointed to his head and said, "There is an injury here, I can't remember it."

The fat man waved his hand, and the two attendants immediately carried all of Yunchu's luggage into the room, and took out all the things inside.

There are a lot of things in Yunchu's backpack and horse bag. Among them, the ones that interest Fatty Fangzheng the most are the bags of herbs and small bags of stone powder.

Among the medicinal materials, he knows snow lotus, licorice, astragalus, and ore powder. He knows Xiaoshengdan and realgar powder among them. He doesn't know the rest of the powders that are blue, rose red, or black.

However, this does not prevent Fangzheng from classifying all these things into the category of medicinal materials.

When Yun Chu saw that his attendant had also taken out two aprons embroidered with the pattern of five poisons from his backpack, he blushed and snatched them away, and stuffed them back into his backpack.

Fatty Fangzheng and the others burst out laughing immediately.

The brush in Yunchu’s backpack was very bald, there was no dry ink on the small stone inkstone, and a piece of folded paper was packed in a small cowhide box. The master's humble words and great righteousness.

"The Master said: "Study and learn from time to time, isn't it also said?Have friends come from afar?People don't know but don't feel stunned, isn't it a gentleman? "

Zeng Zi said: "My day and my body are three times: do you want to be unfaithful? Do you not believe in making friends? Do you not know how to pass on?"

The Master said: "Reviewing the old and learning the new, you can be a teacher."

Confucius said: "Learning without thinking will lead to death, and thinking without learning will lead to peril."

The Master said: "Yu, teach your daughters to know! Know what you know, know what you don't know, and know what you don't know."

Fangzheng read through this proverb text, which was clearly an exhortation from the elders to the younger generation, and finally pointed to the signature on the words and asked, "Who is Mr. Shi Sheng?"

Yun Chu showed pain on his face, and after a long while, he still shook his head.

Under the circumstances that he has no way to prove himself that he is from Tang Dynasty, today he is going to use the spirit of finding the government when he has difficulties to the extreme, and let the government use the known conditions at hand to prove that he is a pure and pure person Tang people.
