Chinese dining table

Chapter 68 Rights need to be created and mined
There is nothing wrong with Cui's female celebrity. Whether it is the coats, underwear, shoes and socks of the Yunchu brothers and sisters, all of them are now made by Cui. Even the boxer underwear designed by Yunchu is far superior to Yunchu's. The leather pants made in the Western Regions are ten thousand times better.

People in Datang do not wear underpants, neither men nor women. Those who are more particular will wrap a loincloth around their crotch, which is the kind worn by Japanese sumo wrestlers.

If you don't pay attention to it, it is also a kind of chic to put it in neutral.

This woman can also settle accounts and write, and coupled with the fact that she is a good girl, Yunchu felt that it was really worthwhile to spend six hundred copper coins to win her.

Even in cooking, no matter how much Cui Shi wants to help and how carefully she cooks, the final meal can only be eaten by herself, and the Yunchu brothers and sisters would rather be hungry than take a bite.

Therefore, when Yunchu made delicious mutton noodles, the people who used to work in the yard were not very willing to work, and each of them stretched their necks and asked in a low voice why the family's tea and rice tasted so delicious .

Naha doesn't care, as long as there are delicious meals, even if she is surrounded by wolves, she can eat them with great devotion.

Yun Chu didn't make it, so he asked Cui Shi in a low voice with his job bowl in hand: "What are they doing? Didn't you pay them?"

Cui took a bite of the noodles and said, "The wages are very good, no, half of the idlers in Lifang have come to earn wages."

Yun Chu frowned and said, "If that's the case, why are they pointing fingers? Are they calling us rich and unkind?"

Cui shook her head and said: "I used to be considered as a concubine who came from a wealthy family with some knowledge. If I eat the food cooked by your husband, won't I lose my appearance?

I am all like this, let alone these poor people, what we eat is not the same as what they eat. "

After Cui finished speaking, she put down her job and yelled at the onlookers with a smile, "Aren't they all here after eating? Doing extra work a day is worth two copper coins for nothing. Now I just look at the master's house." Eat, don’t work, do you really want to get money for nothing?”

The people in the neighborhood were scolded by Mrs. Cui, and felt that it was wrong, so those who cleaned up the wells continued to clean up the wells, and those who cleaned up the yards cleaned up the yards. The lady in charge said well, as long as the yard is cleaned up as soon as possible, everyone At that time, there will be a reward of five coins.

Most people in Fangshi make a living by working and doing business in West Market. Nowadays, you can make money without leaving Fangshi. With such a good business, people don't want to do it themselves.

As far as the eye can see, these people do a really good job, fast and careful, and there is nothing to fault.

Naha cooked three bowls of rice in one go, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said to Yunchu: "I don't like Chang'an City, nor do I like the people here, and I don't even like the meals they cook."

Yunchu also put down the empty bowl, and said to Naha: "Chang'an is a special city, we need to adapt to it, not let this city adapt to us, there is no way, we left the Western Regions, we brothers and sisters want to have fun everywhere , it becomes a delusion."

"It's easy to say something else, brother, why do you think their food is so unpalatable?"

Yun Chu glanced at Cui who was hard at cooking on the opposite side, and snorted, "In the eyes of our brothers and sisters, they are just a bunch of barbarians when it comes to eating."

Regarding what Yun Chu said, Cui, a native of Chang'an, thought it was very reasonable, but she immediately said: "Mr., our family is short of manpower, and you can't be busy in the pot and stove all day long. There is one less door in the house." As a groom, he closed the door and locked the door for our house, raised horses, and still lacked a cook, a helper, a maid who was close to the lady, a book boy who ran errands for you, and two maids who were in charge of sweeping and sweeping.

If Mr. Lang wants to settle some family property in Chang'an, our family still lacks a housekeeper, a accountant, and two housekeepers. "

Yun Chu looked at Cui Shi and said: "You were also the head of the house in the past, if your family lacks these people, how did you get them?"

Cui sighed and said: "Of course they are dispatched from Zhuangzi at home, they are all people who know the basics, so they are easy to assign.

Our family is different. There are only two masters in the family, you and the young lady. There is no family business or trilogy in Chang'an. Although there is no shortage of money, it is still very difficult to find so many servants, isn't it? No one can buy it, but after you buy it, you don't know what they used to be.

Besides, there are basically no good slaves who can be sold by the master's family. "

Yun Chu raised his head and thought for a while, then said: "Then I don't care, this is your business, even if you misread it and do something bad, it's more reliable than me. You need money, you speak, as for others Yes, it's all up to you.

You said today that you are the head housekeeper of our family. "

Cui pointed to the men and women working in the yard and said in a low voice: "Actually, I'm already selecting. Those who work carefully, have good looks, and have clear eyes. The concubine is planning a plan."

Yun Chu looked around and found that it was already dark, and these people were still holding oil lamps and torches still working, so he asked in puzzlement, "Aren't they slaves? They can buy and sell at will?"

Cui said with a smile: "Most of the family members of these people belong to the registered craftsmen, and belong to the Shaofu Supervisor, General Commander, and Military Weapons Supervisor. .

These people have no land at home and earn a living by working, and such things as working do not happen all the time, so many people are just eating and hungry.

Our wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty, the favorite servants are this group of craftsmen's family members. At one time, Emperor Taizong rewarded Princess Wencheng, who married Tubo, with [-] craftsmen.

Therefore, it is very cost-effective to recruit servants from among these well-established people, not to mention, you can rest assured.

Anyway, our family must not ask human traffickers to buy unwanted slaves, it will ruin the family style, and it will be detrimental to the husband's official career. "

Yunchu felt that what Cui said was very, very reasonable, and once again decided to push all the things that were not suitable for him to Cui.

When the moon came out, these workers finally heard Cui Shi's order to stop work, and they lined up to collect money from Cui Shi.

The copper coins that Yunchu exchanged were of good quality, all of them were yellow and clear, so the people who received the money did not complain much, but many people hoped that Cui, the housekeeper, could exchange the copper coins in his hand for food, so that They will work harder tomorrow.

Yunchu's tent was set up again, but the tent was too small, Yunchu asked Cui Shi to bring Naha to live in, and he himself laid a floor in the hall.

The cold wind in Chang'an at the end of November was biting, and what happened during the day also made Yunchu feel a bit icy cold.

Chang'an and Xianyang are only sixty miles apart. In the past, a man named Shang Yang who lived in Xianyang once said: Only when a treacherous person becomes an official can the people abide by the rules and regulations, and a good person as an official will only make the people get close to him.

What a country needs is for the people to abide by the rules and regulations, not for the people to be close to a certain person. Therefore, it is better to be an official with a traitor than a good person.

It sounds a bit unconscionable to say this, but officials of all dynasties have regarded this sentence as a golden rule.

Being a craftsman in the Tang Dynasty is a life of hard work. Being a farmer not only requires hard work but also sacrifices his life to fight. As a businessman, his family members have nothing to redeem except money. It shows that in Chang'an, money alone is not enough.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, four ways to live, only being an official is the brightest way, there is no other way.

But besides being an official, Yunchu also wants to have the life he needs.

Just like what he once told Naha during the day - Chang'an will not take the initiative to get used to you, but needs you to take the initiative to get used to the city.

Since there is no life that Yunchu needs in this city, it should be a very good reason to take the initiative to create such a life.

So, after thinking about it in the middle of the night, Yunchu suddenly realized that if he was a student of the Four Schools, would he be able to fight for the position of head of the village?

Anyway, after I stepped down from the post of a senior regiment official, my first job as a chief official was——Secretary and Director of the Street Work Committee

The work of grid management is familiar to Yunchu. At this time, there are exactly 110 concrete grids in Chang'an, that is to say, there are exactly 110 square cities in Chang'an.

I heard that in the earliest urban planning of Chang'an, there were 110 square cities, but [-] of them were actually opened.

Jinchangfang is under the jurisdiction of Guangmingli. This li is very small, mainly because Jinchangfang is so big that the head of Guangmingli is Fangzheng of Jinchangfang.They are not officials, they are just officials.

Datang has very strict management of senior officials, and has an indifferent attitude towards officials who are not senior.

Yunchu felt that there should be a loophole here that could be exploited.

Because, judging from Yunchu's understanding of street work, the village chiefs and Fangzhengs in Datang are far from doing their job properly. The most important thing is that these people clearly have great power in their hands, but they are stupid. He begged Yun Chu for a few coins...

On the streets managed by Yunchu before, there were 63 large and small companies, 720 shops, 720 permanent residents, street trees...advertising spaces...

In the past, these strings of numbers that could be said casually and familiarly, are now a cloud of smoke, the distance is very close, and it seems to be very far away.

So, when Yunchu was about to fall asleep, he felt that his idea was really good.

First, he wanted to buy some family property, but he couldn't make it too obvious. If there was a slight disturbance, he would encounter a giant crocodile like Cheng Yaojin who would swallow him alive.

In the hierarchical world of Tang Dynasty, the wealth owned by an individual without the support of family and official position is just the meat that others put on you.

Yunchu didn't think too much about money. Ever since he came to this world, he had the courage to come back after all his wealth was gone.

This kind of courage is not Li Bai's wild words after drunk, but a kind of real self-confidence.

He needs wealth to support his dreams, but he doesn't need to control so much wealth by himself.

Then, the only way to achieve this goal is to hide wealth among the people.

Be the head of Guangmingli, become Fangzheng of Jinchangfang, bind yourself firmly with everyone in Jinchangfang, and if possible, become a real master of the entire Jinchangfang residents long.
