Chinese dining table

Chapter 69 Poor Datang Fangzheng
After dawn the next day, Yunchu's house welcomed more people who wanted to come to work and make money.

This time, Yun Chu did not hide, but stood at the door and bowed his hands to thank everyone who entered.

Mrs. Cui stood half a meter behind Yunchu. Anyone who met Yunchu would take a bamboo chip from her hand. This kind of bamboo chip is black at one end and red at the other. , with five characters written in the middle.

These people work in Yun's house for a day, and in the evening, they can take five Wen from Cui.

This salary is a very good salary.

During Taizong's reign, the average price of a bucket of rice was five cents. Even in Taizong's twilight years, when the country fought year after year, the highest price of rice did not exceed eight cents per bucket of rice.

After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the court did not launch a major war, so the price of Doumi was restored to five Wen.

In other words, as long as these people worked at Yun's house for a whole day, they could get a bucket of rice.

In fact, it is impossible to get it, because the official calculation of the rice price is the selling price of Changping warehouse, not the price in the grain store in the square market. Even so, there is no problem in exchanging five pennies for two buckets of corn.

The Yun family had a lot of work to do. All the blue bricks on the ground had to be pulled out, and the soil had to be re-padded to raise the height before paving. The two wells had to be cleaned in turn, taking out the original water, and cleaning up the mess at the bottom of the well. According to the requirements of the owner, a thick layer of carbon is laid, and then the cleaned sand is laid.

The tiles on the roof had to be replaced and new ones laid, and the rafters had to be replaced wherever there were insects and rats.

The layer of yellow mud on the wall should be scraped off, and then the wall should be repainted with lime mud.

The most important thing is that the back garden has to be completely demolished and refurbished according to the needs of the host family. The host family is also planning to open two wells in the back garden to water the garden.

Fangzheng Liu Yi of Jinchang Fang was very happy. He did some calculations and found that the Yun family's house renovation costs were less than two or three hundred guan.

Therefore, his two wives, two sons, and one daughter all joined the ranks of working for the Yun family.

If it wasn't because he really couldn't save face, he would have wanted to participate, oh my god, the head of the Yun family is a prodigal, and if he was paid five dollars a day, he would be a living prodigal.

After all the workers had entered the house, Yunchu and Fangzheng Liu Yi went to the Wannian County Yamen to exchange the land and house deeds.

"Fang Zheng is from Chang'an?"

Liu Yi shook his head and said, "A certain family is from Luoyang, and they moved to Chang'an ten years ago."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's only been ten years since Fangzheng has become the parent officer of our Jinchangfang. This is really rare."

Liu Yi smiled wryly and shook his head and said: "This job was forced down. Liu is just a merchant. There is a small wood shop in the West Market. For some reason, he was sent down by his grandson Cao. It's a serious job, Mr. Yun, speaking of which, this job really makes a certain family miserable."

People in Tang Dynasty always complained, so Yunchu naturally took Liu Yi's crying as self-effacing.

However, Yunchu still knew one thing from his words, Sun Hu Cao was the one who could really decide where Fangzheng and Lichang belonged.

Therefore, when the two of them entered the Wannian county government office and Yunchu handed over the admission notice and the Simenxue admission notice, Sun Hucao got up immediately, clasped his fists and called "Yun Siyi".

Facing Sun Hucao's unusual enthusiasm, Yunchu immediately became vigilant, so he asked Liu Yi to explain clearly the reason for his visit.

Unexpectedly, Sun Hucao had a gloomy face and scolded Liu Yi to get out quickly.

Liu Yi lowered his head and said with a mournful face: "Sunhu Cao, you also know that Jinchang Fang was originally a gathering place for artisans, such as Jiangzuo and Shaofujian, which are all in remote places, and many of the jobs of the Ministry of Industry Even outside the city.

When the days are long, they can still return to Jinchangfang on time. Now that the days are short, the doors close early, but the time on the construction site is still the same as in summer. General workers, the Shaofu Supervisor, and the Ministry of Industry are not working on construction sites. How could they dare to go home early.

This has caused the residents to often violate the curfew.

To be honest, if you violate the curfew, they will be punished, and you will also be implicated. The most pitiful thing is the little old man. I was almost fined with copper twice. The poor little old man has extra copper coins to be fined. "

Sun Hucao's words seemed to be tinged with ice.

"Liu Yi, listen to me clearly, Jinchangfang is not the only place full of artisans, you are the one who violated the curfew the most.

The official also heard that you often open the door of the workshop privately and let some irrelevant people in. I said, do you still want this head?
Listen to me well, if any night traveler is caught by bad people or left and right Jinwu guards, when they hit the board, I will let people catch you to count. "

Liu Yi sat down on the ground and patted his hands on the ground, saying: "Sun Hucao, you can just kill me, there are indeed craftsmen in other squares, but there is no such thing as Jinchangfang in other squares. Unfortunately, there is a Daci'en Temple. These monks are not active in other things. They beat the evening drum and the morning bell diligently every day, so that the bells of my Jinchangfang are consistent with the bells of the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and other squares. The city is more than a quarter earlier than the closing time..."

Hearing what Liu Yi said, Yunchu knew that he was going to suffer. The Da Ci'en Temple was a royal temple, a temple built by the emperor for his mother. This Liu Yi was speaking freely at this time...

Sure enough, grandson Cao came to Liu Yi angrily, stopped talking, grabbed Liu Yi's chest, and began to slap Liu Yi's big mouth left and right with all his strength with his right hand.

Liu Yi was so overwhelmed by the blowing of his mouth that he couldn't help but suffer.

When Yunchu saw Liu Yi bleeding from the corner of his mouth, he suddenly realized that if he recklessly took the position of Jinchang Fang, would he be slapped by this household Cao under certain extreme circumstances? Woolen cloth?
At the same time, Yunchu also realized that the environment in which he became a street director was very different from the environment in which he became Fangzheng.

So, he took a step back to prevent the blood from Liu Yi's mouth from splashing on his body.

The plan needs to be changed. I used to think about making a direct move, but now it seems that at least I need to find someone who can take my slap in the face in extreme situations.

This Liu Yi seemed to be used to being slapped in the mouth, so he should be a good candidate.

Sun Hucao was also an official of the eighth rank, so after smacking Sun Fangzheng's mouth, he smiled and said to Yun Chu: "Don't be offended by Doctor Yun, this old man has never read a book, he is a country rough People, don't understand the truth that nonsense will bring disaster, and please ask Doctor Yun to forgive this person for the sake of your neighbors."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "A certain family came here today because of the land deed and house deed. The grandson Cao is dedicated to the country, so the certain family naturally sees it in their eyes. As for other things, Yun does not know."

Sun Hu Cao followed with a laugh, kicked Liu Yi out of the office, and called a clerk to help Yunchu handle the house registration procedures.

On the way back, Liu Yi's face swelled from countless slaps, and before he finished walking Suzaku Street, his eyes were swollen until there were only two slits left.

Looking at Liu Yi's dejected look with his head down, Yunchu smiled and said, "Who told you that you are not only the head of the village, but also Fangzheng? responsible person.

You said that you suffered such a big crime for the benefit of the district chief's mere thirty cents, it's pitiful. "

Liu Yi raised his head abruptly, and with a pig's face, he seemed to want to say something to Yun Chu, but for some reason he swallowed it back.

The reason why he personally took Yunchu to the Wannian County Yamen to meet Hu Cao today was because he thought that with Yunchu, a doctor from the eighth rank, maybe Sun Hucao would see it for the sake of his colleagues. Clean him up.

Unexpectedly, it was even more miserable to be cleaned up by others.

People passing by on Suzaku Street couldn't help pointing whenever they saw Liu Yi's appearance, which made Liu Yi feel more humiliated.

Just now, after hearing Yunchu's words, he also thought it was a good idea, and immediately thought that Yunchu, a young man who was going to study in the fourth school, was the best candidate for him to shirk his responsibilities.

It's just that Yunchu saw his fate just now, so he felt that Yunchu was not a fool, so it was impossible for him to agree.

After being the head of the village and Fang Zheng for many years, Liu Yi still has a little heart. He decided that this matter should be taken slowly. , I don't even want to be my own scapegoat.

When Yun Chu saw that Liu Yi, who had been dejected, suddenly quickened his pace, not to mention that he looked a little more aggressive, he couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

When passing by a traveling merchant with a polished bronze mirror, he deliberately borrowed his bronze mirror to check his own face, to see if he had a face that was willing to take the blame for others.

The facial features of the young man in the bronze mirror are very correct, but he is a bit dark and looks silly.

So, he deliberately put a smile on his face, making this seemingly harmless young man more kind and bully.

Back in Jinchangfang, Yun's house was still so lively, with thick wooden boards at the gate, and wheelbarrows carrying various materials came in and out from time to time.

Mrs. Cui set up four or five earthen stoves in the yard, and the snow-white mutton bone soup rolled in a large pot on the earthen stoves.

Naha was sitting on a thick wooden stake with her feet crossed, holding a thick sheep stick bone and gnawing there.

Seeing that the bone was finished, she was about to throw it away, but Mrs. Cui snatched it with her hands, and threw it into the mutton soup pot to continue cooking.

Yun Chu was going to grab a bone and gnaw at it, but after seeing Mrs. Cui's flowing style, he immediately decided to eat some fried noodles to soothe his stomach.

"Everyone comes to drink mutton soup. This is because everyone is working hard, and the host is not stingy. The weather is cold, so come and drink a bowl of mutton soup to warm up.

Women, women, and children can be brought here to fool around, but you need to bring your own onions, garlic, steamed buns, yellow buns, etc. The host’s house does not have a kitchen now, so this is the only way to go. "

"Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang."

"Xiao Lang-jun is worthy of being a scholar.

"Xiao Langjun looks like he is going to be a high-ranking official. Since Xiao Langjun is generous, we..."

As soon as Mrs. Cui finished speaking, she attracted compliments from a group of people.

With a smile on his face, Yun Chu walked through the crowd with his left hand pulling the sleeve of his green shirt with his right hand Shi Shiran.Finally, I enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by stars.
