Chinese dining table

Chapter 708
Many, many years ago, after Emperor Qin unified the six kingdoms, he collected the soldiers of the world and cast twelve golden men, thinking that the world would be safe.

Little did he know that after Liu Bang entered Xianyang, he did not find the twelve golden men. After searching the world, he heard from a shepherd in Lintao that he saw twelve huge golden men heading west.

Then, Liu Bang believed it... Since then, there has been no news of the Twelve Golden Men...

Yun Chu couldn't figure out this kind of story of deceiving ghosts. Why did people at that time believe it?

Even people like Xiang Yu believe it, which is really a joke in the world.

It wasn't until he suddenly remembered that most of the weapons at that time were made of bronze, which was the same material as Qin Banliang, that he came to his senses.

Xiang Yu is also a human being, and he is also a man of temperament. As long as Liu Bang's tribute is enough, it is not impossible to ask him to say a few words against his will.

In fact, Qin Shihuang's method is actually quite good. This time, Yunchu planned to melt all the copper coins he got, and then cast them into twelve sacred cows weighing tens of thousands of catties. Everyone in Chang'an knows that the prosperity of Chang'an can be felt and seen.

With these twelve divine bulls, people all over the world will know one thing—Chang'an City is really rich, and this thing is likely to become a magic weapon to suppress the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty.

As long as the emperor is not at the end of the road, he should not use these sacred cows. Once they are used, it means that the emperor's country is no longer sustainable.

This set of rhetoric was matched by Yunchu to the twelve god cows in Chang'an City, just like the golden men of the Qin Dynasty. After leaving Lintao, the Qin Dynasty perished.

How to make this rhetoric deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Yun Chu thought that the people in Chang'an City would believe it, after all, their golden man had already lost once.

If she lost herself again, it would have nothing to do with Yunchu. No one could take a nanny to this level.

It is not that the society of the Tang Dynasty did not have copper, but judging from the current social development, so much copper cannot be used.

Datang's copper is super developed.

Since copper has become an indispensable money in people's life, from the Spring and Autumn Ant Nose Coin to Kaiyuan Tongbao, copper has been issued as currency for more than 400 years, which means that people have been looking for copper mines to smelt copper. More than 400 years.

First, copper is a metal that is not easy to wear out. Second, because it is money, people cherish it more. Therefore, for more than 400 years, the currency of Datang has always been overissued.

Especially when the metals used in people's lives changed from copper to iron, the stock of copper has always been greater than the demand for social productivity.

Manipulating copper coins can harvest people. This kind of thing has long been discovered. Qin Shihuang's method of casting golden men may not have taken into account the consideration of increasing the value of Qin Banliang's currency.

Liu Bang is a rebel, as long as Qin insists on it, he will definitely oppose it. In addition, the staff composed of his rogue pavilion chief and a group of low-level officials around him may not understand the painstaking efforts of the first emperor.

Yunchu very much hoped that those aristocratic families would use Luoyang as a place to release water, so that he only needed to build a dam to stop the leak in Chang'an.

It's a pity that people are looking at Chang'an. After all, this is the time when the emperor left, rich and weak. How long will we wait if we don't kill Chang'an, a fat pig?

In the past ten years, Yunchu took advantage of the emperor's relationship with the royal family to create a stable food source for Chang'an in Longyou Hexi.

Over the past ten years, Yunchu has used the opportunity of cotton promotion in Guanzhong to create a textile industry in Chang'an with cotton as the leader, fine silk as the supplement, and low-end linen as the supplement.

Furthermore, with the iron that Prince Li Hong took over from the Changsun family, and the sea salt in Dahang City, a relatively standardized closed circle was formed economically.

Therefore, the method of tampering with food that the wealthy family is best at has little effect on Chang'an.

For Longyou, Chang'an was too close, and the wealthy families were too far away.

That's why Yunchu determined that these aristocratic families can only use Chang'an real estate as their method.

As for plotting the land outside Chang'an City, that's a big joke. The emperors of the Tang Dynasty have already allotted the land outside Chang'an City.

If those people set their minds on the pitiful land in the hands of ordinary people, this is definitely a very good opportunity for Yunchu to hit them.

Yunchu is looking forward to seeing his Tongniu located on both sides of Chang'an Zhuque Street. If it is really achieved, life in Chang'an will be easier in the future.

After three days of careful consideration, Lu Ting, the patriarch of the Lu family in Fanyang, finally came to the Wannian County Government Office, looking for Master Liu to buy the No. [-] yard on Zhuque Street, which was still under construction, and offered [-] guan.

I thought it was a deal Master Liu could only dream of, but he didn't know it until he came to Wannian County. Master Liu went to Luoyang for business.

The purchase of courtyard No. [-] had to be stopped.

At the same time, Lu Ting keenly felt that Hucao, who came out to entertain him from Wannian County, seemed to be quite critical of his behavior of investing [-] yuan to buy the No. [-] courtyard.

One by one, he pushed back and forth, and was unwilling to sell Yard No. [-] to him.

Therefore, Lu Ting sent a greeting card directly to meet Yunchu.

Lu Ting has a very good reputation in Fan Yang. He is a direct descendant of Lu Zhi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he also has a high reputation in Fan Yang.

The so-called good reputation, from Yunchu's point of view, was just that. If he was a bully in Fan Yang, his reputation would also be good. After all, Fan Yang's words were sometimes more effective than what the government said.

After the tea was served, the handyman bowed and stepped back, and only then did Yun Chu begin to formally inspect the Patriarch of the Lu family in front of him.

Lu Ting's reputation is very high, but he is white. Therefore, he does not have much advantage in front of the Marquis Yunchu.

From the first glance at Lu Ting, Yunchu knew that this old guy might live a very long life, which can be seen from his two eyebrows that are too long.

Lu Ting didn't speak, but quietly sipped Yunchu's good tea. He believed that no matter what, Yunchu would give him an explanation today.

After pondering for a long time, Yun Chu sighed and said, "If you want to kill a thief, you will be powerless to bring it back."

Lu Ting didn't get angry, and said indifferently: "It should be right, there are many unfair things in this world, and what Marquis Yun wants everyone to be rich is based on reducing the wealth of others, and it is only natural to be counterattacked. "

Yun Chu said: "Why can't we go to Luoyang, so that Chang'an can be quiet for a few years and let them have a good life for a few years."

Lu Tingdao: "Chang'an is already the most rare and wealthy place in the Tang Dynasty. If the people are full, they will have nothing to do and no longer be busy.

If people don't work on their bodies, they will work on their minds. If everyone works on their minds, they will end up starving to death.

The old man heard that once the grass on the grassland is burned by the fire, the spring grass will only grow more vigorously in the coming year. "

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "You guys can't decide when to set fire, it's not fair."

Lu Ting laughed and said, "What we say doesn't matter, so who has the final say? The emperor, or the government?
As far as the current situation is concerned, is it really better for the emperor to set fire to the government than to set fire to us? "

Yun Chu nodded, and said to Hu Cao who was waiting by his side: "Let's go through the formalities for Mr. Lu."

Hu Cao bowed and left.

Lu Ting followed with a sigh and said, "Your Majesty, let's look down from real estate to the basic necessities of life for the people in Chang'an City.

The old man took his young grandson to buy Hubing yesterday, and the price was even more expensive. "

Yun Chu smiled proudly, tapped his knuckles on the table and said, "It's okay, Chang'an's food and fodder preparations are quite sufficient, and in a few days, the summer grain in Guanzhong will be put into storage."

Lu Ting shook his head and said: "Yongzhou has already eliminated Chang'an, and the only thing you can hope for is Chang'an, the two counties of Wannian."

Yunchu looked at Lu Ting and said, "It's okay, there is still Hexi."

Lu Ting shook his head and said: "The old man heard that Hebei is not stable. There have been two battalion roars in Yingzhou, causing countless casualties. The imperial court will send a large army to control the situation."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's just scabies."

Lu Ting shook his head again and said: "The Turks in the grassland are not stable. I heard that Ashina has captured himself as Khan of the Five Surnames, and has already linked up with Li Zhepo, who is attached to Tubo. Hexi may supply the Western Regions with food and fodder."

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, Chang'an City has plenty of money, as long as the money is given, the world's food and fodder will naturally flow to Chang'an."

Lu Ting shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The Lu family's ten-year savings is only one hundred thousand guan, and the prince took away Lu's money with just one house.

This is a very good way, why is Junhou so reluctant to open Chang'an to me?

Once the money is spent on the house, there is no money to compete with the princes for the food needed in Chang'an.

The old man knows that Jun Hou has always been proud and wants to ensure the food supply in Chang'an, but he does not allow me to control Chang'an's economy. Is there such a cheap thing in the world that allows Jun Hou to succeed on both sides?
Since ancient times, people have done things by choosing the lesser of the two powers. "

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "On my territory, you must obey me."

Seeing that Yunchu was stubborn, Lu Ting stopped persuading him and continued to taste the fragrant tea in his hand. After a while, Hu Cao came in and completed the formalities for the No. [-] courtyard. Lu Ting took the formalities, and then left with his grandson Lu Zhaolin Entered Yunchu's official office.

Just as Lu Ting left, Master Liu, who was on business in Luoyang, came out from behind and whispered, "Cui Shi is collecting grain at a high price."

Yun Chu pressed his hands on the table and said: "Take it, if he doesn't take it well, he will be sorry for me."

Mr. Liu said: "The grain in the official warehouse of Wannian County cannot be moved. There are still 36 free warehouses in our Wannian County. The officials think that the grain in these warehouses should be turned around."

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Sure, go and discuss with Chang'an County, and bring in the Yicang in Chang'an County, as their food has come to be rummaged.

Remember to set the price higher. "

Master Liu laughed and said, "I have notified all grain stores not to sell grain to Cui's privately. Now Cui's buying grain is listed on the running water sign in Qujiang, and the price is a [-]% premium to the market price. This is The reason why food prices in Chang’an have risen by five cents is that we will take as much as they sell.”

Yun Chu sneered and said, "Put the delivery period in six months."

Mr. Liu said: "The lower officials understand that the fair price grains in the free warehouses will also enter the hands of the various squares and markets as scheduled, and they will distribute the cheap grains. As for the grain prices in the grain warehouses, they can be properly liberalized, and the two prices of light and dark will be implemented. ..."

Yun Chu said again: "Increase the deposit for running water cards to [-]%."

Master Liu finally whispered in Yunchu's ear, "I still think that after we collect the deposit and distribute the cheap food, can we burn down the empty warehouse?
So can the price of grain in Chang'an grain store rise again? "

Yun Chu nodded and said, "By the way, let's kill Cui Mian. Only when the person in charge disappears together with the food, can the price of food rise to a level that satisfies all of us."

Master Liu laughed and said, "The price of grain in Chang'an has skyrocketed. At that time, there will naturally be merchants who will transport grain into Chang'an, and then let him bring a wave of goods to the land to die. In this way, the lower officials think that we only need to use [-]% of the previous year's price. For the price, it should be a good deal to get the grain needed for the whole year next year."

Yun Chu sneered and said: "Hey under heaven is doing everything for the benefit, it's really ridiculous to say that."
