Chinese dining table

In the matter of whether the Baiqi Division should expand without limit, Yunchu stood on the side of the officials.

When secret spies began to influence the direction of the court, no courtier could benefit from it. Even if they got some benefits at present, in the long run, it would not be worth the loss.

However, this kind of opposition is nothing to Li Zhi. Datang has become rich and powerful in the past few years, and he has a lot of connections if he wants money.

Even if Yunchu and Rourou's newly built cotton textile workshop were given to Baiqisi, it would not be a big deal.

Because it was built by the government, that is to say, it was built by him, Li Zhi, and others have no right to refuse, only to offer some suggestions.

Now, what Yunchu gave to the emperor was suggestions, not any objections. Moreover, Yunchu's suggestions were upright and did not touch Li Zhi's rebellious scales.

Being upright and upright has always been the persona chosen by Yunchu in Datang.

The emperors of the early Tang Dynasty, apart from liking to kill their own relatives, were more or less tolerant of their courtiers.

As long as he is not secretly colluding with him, the emperor will generally tolerate and even choose the next move according to the severity of the matter.

Because money is not a very urgent thing for Li Zhi, and because Baiqisi really can't run the cotton textile workshop well, Li Zhi has a little more expectation for the newly built cotton textile workshop in Wannian and Chang'an counties.

When he came out of the Tai Chi Hall, the sun had already risen, and Wen Wen, who was standing outside the hall, heard Yun Chu's words of fighting against others in the hall, and couldn't help raising his thumb to praise him as a reckless two hundred and five.

Before Yunchu could speak to Rourou and Di Renjie, Chang Shulai came over and cupped her hands and said, "A certain family is dedicated to the public, the county magistrate Yun should not think this is a personal enmity."

Yun Chu looked at Chang Shulai sullenly and said, "The next thing Wannian County is going to do is official business, I just hope Chang Yushi won't think it's retaliation."

Chang Shulai said angrily, "Collecting sanitation fees in Chang'an City has never been heard of since ancient times. If it's not exorbitant taxes, what is it?"

Yun Chu also said angrily: "Just because Chang'an City is clean and tidy now, the housing prices of every household have risen a lot. This is also an unprecedented thing. Why, I charge a little sanitation fee to give everyone a cleaner, tidy and more comfortable life." What's wrong with Chang'an City in order?

Could it be that Chang Yushi was so poor that he didn't even have any money to pay a little sanitation fee.

In this case, a certain family should check your Chang family’s property carefully to see if it is really dilapidated like this.”

Chang Shulai looked at Yunchu and said, "So, a certain family just waits."

Yun Chu snorted coldly and said, "Don't think that you can win some fame by speaking for many people. The hammer didn't hit their feet, and they didn't feel the pain."

Chang Shulai wanted to ease the relationship, but Yunchu had already made up his mind to treat him like a baby.

Rourou looked at Chang Shulai's back and said: "The collection of sanitation fees is related to the livelihood of tens of thousands of people, how can you give up just because of his words, even if you put this matter related to the livelihood of tens of thousands of people on His Majesty's desk, Your Majesty doesn’t dare to be careless, I really don’t know whether this person is shrewd or stupid.”

Di Renjie said: "There are many nobles who have this idea. In the past, the poor could do these things for them without paying, but now they can't do it. They have to pay. They don't lack the money. I just feel ashamed"

Yun Chu said viciously: "Then let him be ashamed for the rest of his life."

The three of them left the palace city while they were talking, and after entering the imperial city, they said softly to Yunchu: "I heard that you invited a foster mother from Qinghe Cui family?"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "It's outrageously expensive."

She smiled softly and said, "It's worth thousands of dollars, after what happened, your Yun family's daughter will be worth a lot of money in the future."

Yun Chu said in surprise: "Your Wen family also belongs to the second generation and the third father, don't you have such talents in your family?"

Gentlely sighed, "The Wen family's earliest record as an official was in Jin Dynasty, although it is considered a good family, it is a pity that the Wen family did not and did not cultivate such a precious figure.

It's a pity to say, do you really think
De Naha is worth such a big price from you, are you sure she can learn it? "

Yunchu looked at Rourou angrily and said, "Naha is very smart."

Di Renjie said calmly at the side: "I'm afraid you are the only one in this world who thinks so.

To be honest, the painstaking effort you have spent on Naha is probably far less than that of the royal princess.

Among them, this Cui family's nurturing mother is not a resource that a princess can get."

Yun Chu was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean that the nuns of the royal family are not as good as Cui's nuns?"

Ruan Rou looked around and saw that the rest of the court officials were far away from them, so she said in a low voice: "From the virtues of my Royal Princess of the Tang Dynasty, it can be seen that Cui Shi will not send the foster mother into the palace." Upbringing those princesses whose eyes are higher than the top and who are still arrogant, those people have been taught badly from the root, and the nurturing mother is also a human being, not a god."

When the three of them were whispering royal gossip, the eldest grandson rushed over and said to Yunchu, "Are you plotting against my family?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "That's something only a prime minister can do. We're talking about Cui's mother-in-law, and by the way, some small stories about the princesses of the Tang Dynasty."

Chang Sun Chong smiled and said, "The beauty is not bad."

Yun Chu sneered, "If my wife were a princess, I would say the same thing."

Chang Sun Chong said seriously: "The beauty is really good, but I didn't expect your Yun family to be able to invite Cui's mother-in-law.

Well, I’m here to tell you a piece of news. If you spend a lot of money to hire Cui’s nunnery, it’s best to hire a nunnery above Mrs. Hou’s status. Cui’s nuns are all employed Those who come to coax other people’s money, don’t be fooled.”

Yun Chu was stunned for a moment and said, "You Madam Hou, do you mean a woman of my wife's class, or a Madam named Hou?"

Sun Chong smiled and said, "What do you think? You spent at least 3000 taels of gold to invite Cui's foster mother this time. Since the fall of Hou Junji, can that woman surnamed Hou be worth this much?"

"3000 taels of gold?" Di Renjie's eyeballs were about to protrude. He knew the price would be high, but he didn't expect it to be so high.

Wen Rou and Changsun Chong, the two eldest sons of the rich family, behaved very calmly, unlike Di Renjie, a side branch of the Di family, who was so ignorant.

"Tell me..." Di Renjie, a local turtle and a poor ghost, is very interested in such secret things, and he also wants to make his family as noble as the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs.

Now that the matter has come to an end, Yunchu took Changsun Chong and the others straight to his official office in the Imperial Hospital to chat about gossip.

In the hot weather, after drinking two rounds of canned tea, I sweated a lot, took off my official clothes, and opened the windows, and I became cooler all of a sudden.

"The Mrs. Hou mentioned by Brother Changsun is the widowed daughter of the Cui family. Her husband is at least a Marquis and has a family, so it is not bad for her to be called Mrs. Hou.

Originally, a woman of this level was the head of the family, or the mistress of a certain branch of the clan. It was only because her husband committed a crime and died that she had to return to her natal family to become the teacher of the Cui family's girls' school, and devote herself to teaching the next generation of the Cui family. woman.

This kind of woman was educated by Cui's girls' school when she was young. She has knowledge, heart, and vision, and she has suffered a lot of setbacks. Therefore, they are the best teachers from the girls' school.

Speaking of which, this kind of female school teacher at the level of Mrs. Hou is also a highly supported figure in the Cui family.

It’s not something you can hire with money, it’s really rare that you can get Mrs. Cui to agree to let someone out this time.”

Chang Sun Chong exposed his white and tender chest, and while wiping the sweat on his chest with a handkerchief, he said with a smile: "Your gentleness is not wrong at all, and this kind of female school is usually in Qinghe's hometown, you can get it from Chang'an." Such a female school teacher, if it weren’t for you who always tell the truth more than lies, I would have thought you were lying to me.”

Confusion appeared on Yunchu's face, he shook his head and asked the three people present.

"You think my family has this

Are you qualified to invite someone to come?Or that their family is short of 3000 taels of gold? "

Sun Chong first sneered and said, "I don't know if you are qualified. My grandfather went to the house of Cui Gan, the servant of the fifth-rank Huangmen at that time, with a generous gift, and planned to marry a Cui Gan for my fourth brother. Your daughter.

In the end, I was rejected by a little servant of the Huangmen, and my grandfather continued to ask a Mr. Cui's girls' school to come to my house to teach my sisters.

As a result, you have also seen that my eldest grandson is a descendant, but have you ever heard of my eldest granddaughter's indecent behavior for so many years?

That’s it, the girls’ school teacher you invited is not a top-notch one.”

Yunchu looked at Changsun Chong with contempt and said, "Although you didn't despise me clearly, every word you said was mocking me.

However, let’s get back to the word, there aren’t many powerful Cui family officials in the court today.”

Wen Rou smiled bitterly and said: "It's not because Emperor Taizong touched his nose in front of Cui Shi back then."

Changsun Chong looked at Yunchu with a smile and said: "Emperor Taizong said something back then, you can check Taizong's "Life Notes" and you will find that Emperor Taizong said: I really don't understand why the four surnames in Shandong are self-confident, and why the world is so important. Of?

With Emperor Taizong's words, do you think the Cui family has any future as an official in our Tang Dynasty? "

Yun Chu spread his hands and said, "Then tell me, why can I, Yun, just ask for something that your eldest grandson's family can't do?"

Gentlely frowned and said: "I don't know, but there must be a reason, anyway, it has nothing to do with your Marquis of Lantian."

Changsun Chong also said at the side: "Mr. Cui is an old fox who has been around for ten thousand years. Anyway, what happened to you is quite weird. Don't be tricked by others. Then it will be on my Changsun's head again."

Yun Chu said blankly: "Is there anything I have that is worth planning for you big clans?

If so, please tell me directly, as long as the interests are suitable, I will definitely exchange them, and there is no need to spend so much energy on me.

Seriously, it's not worth it..."
