Chinese dining table

Chapter 709 Steady Victory
In the world before Yunchu, his school had already written these things clearly and plainly in the textbooks.

How to work hard, how to get rid of poverty and become rich, even how to establish a new regime from scratch, and how to improve the various historical lessons of this new regime, the experience is written clearly and clearly.

Yun Chu is not a college student who just came out of school with clear and stupid eyes. '

On the contrary, before coming to Datang, he had already become a wily basic official in the rapid social changes and social practice.

In many cases, if you can manage a village well, you can manage a township well, and if you can manage a street well, you can basically be qualified for the post of district head. If an official can manage a county well, he can basically be competent for most of the country Position.

Therefore, managing a city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was nothing to Yunchu, who was about to become Bailihou.

What is the nature of the state?
is management.

What are the elements that make up a country?
It's the prison, the police and the army.

What is the biggest contradiction between the country and the people?
It is the contradiction between the common people wanting to live recklessly and orderly life.

Therefore, at a time when the Cui family wanted to live a reckless life, but also expected to maintain basic order, it would be strange if Yunchu didn't use his own management methods.

Just as Master Liu and Cui's food competition was in full swing, the lending rate in Chang'an City dropped sharply.

When borrowing money in the past, the interest rate of double a year is basically the money that can only be released in benevolent places.

Now, even the greediest Daxingshan Temple's loan interest rate has dropped to [-]% per annum.

This is obviously because they have more money in their hands.

The first to feel the impact was naturally Yu Xiurong, the head of the Yun family, because the Zhike monks of the Da Ci'en Temple no longer absorbed Yun's huge amount of cash income from the big dining hall.

This point also shows that Da Ci'en Temple has no way to make profits from Yun's huge amount of copper coins.

In other words, these monks who opened the bank have already sensed the danger of the impending financial crisis.

Listening to Monk Kuiji said that the Daci'en Temple has been doing well in recent years, because a huge amount of money has been invested in the Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions. In fact, after a huge amount of copper coins suddenly appeared in Chang'an, the losses suffered were not large.

As for the incense product kitchens in other temples, it is unlucky.

To be honest, this phenomenon was not expected by Yunchu. He used to always classify monks and wealthy families together, thinking that this group of people would unite to manipulate copper coins to suck people's blood.

Now it seems that the rich and powerful families didn't even plan to let the monks off this time.

After discussing with Ruan Wen, Di Renjie and the others, many people appeared in Chang'an City who wanted to borrow money from the temple, but their interest rate was suppressed very low, and finally suppressed to [-]% per annum.

After these merchants got the money, the first thing they did was to spend the money, not in Chang'an, but to buy a large amount of grain and various materials at high prices from the big landlords in Guanzhong.

No matter how high the price they pay now, they will earn money in the future. Anyway, the copper coins are borrowed from the monk temple.

When Yunchu was at the Hu's steamed stuffed bun restaurant in the morning to pay for the buns, he found that the Hu's steamed stuffed buns were too expensive, two dollars more than usual.

Besides, the steamed stuffed buns were smaller than the steamed stuffed buns sold before, and the mouth-watering oily meat stuffing inside was also much smaller.

It used to take three bites to finish a bun, but now, it is no longer necessary, one bite is too much and two bites are not enough.

Seeing Lao Hu, the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop with a dark heart, being beaten by diners, Yunchu left the steamed stuffed bun shop very satisfied.

After the price of food increased, all prices in Chang'an City also increased.

The only thing that doesn’t go up is the cheap grain store in each market. Everyone wants to buy cheap food. Unfortunately, the food here is distributed by the head of the workshop himself. A few people in a family can’t hide the amount of food they eat a day from the head of the workshop. , If you want to buy more, there is no possibility.

Thus, Yunchu once again saw broomcorn, a coarse grain, on his dining table.

Looking at the huge millet bun, Yun Chu tapped the table with chopsticks and said, "Our family shouldn't be too big, right?"

Yu Xiurong held up a millet bun that was bigger than her face and said, "This is to remind my husband that this stuff is the staple food on the tables of the common people in Chang'an.

Now that the price of food is so high, many people have returned to the habit of eating twice a day, eating dry food when they are busy, and drinking gruel when they are free. "

Yun Chu nodded to show that he understood. Seeing that Li Si refused to eat the millet buns, he broke half of the millet buns on her plate and said, "Eat well."

Li Si lost his temper crying and said: "Pull your throat."

Naha, who was holding up a large piece of millet bun, raised her hand and slapped Li Si on the back of the head, so Li Si honestly picked up the bun and gnawed it. "

As for Yun Jin, the Yun Jin brothers and sisters have always been winking, and before Naha could set his eyes on their dinner plates, the two little ones picked up the millet buns and ate them very intently.

There is no way to do this. The cheap grain distributed in the market has never had fine grains. Some only have millet, sorghum, and various beans. There is not even millet, because that thing can be boiled into rice oil, which is fine grain.

In other words, millet, sorghum, and beans are cheap, so Yunchu has the confidence to fight tit for tat in this struggle.

It may be that Cui Mian is too arrogant, always thinking that as long as he controls Maizi, Rice, and Xiaomi, he can hold Yunchu's throat.

What he didn't know was that a few years ago, the people in Chang'an City used these coarse grains as the main food on the table.

Even before the food war broke out, coarse grains have always been the main role on the people's table.

People who want to eat good food can also buy wheat, rice, and millet, but it is more expensive. If they can afford it, they can eat good food without any problems.

Even if Cui Mian knows this, it doesn't matter, the wheat, rice, and millet stored in Chang'an and Wannian counties alone are enough for him to keep busy for a while.

Sometimes, Yunchu couldn't understand Cui Mian's behavior. With the price of food rising so rapidly, he still had the face to ask Mr. Liu about buying the No. [-] yard on Zhuque Street for [-] guan.

Of course, Master Liu sternly refused.

So, Cui Mian put all the money for buying the yard into the purchase of grain again.

What he did was very smart. The food was purchased in a scattered manner, and the purpose of purchasing the food was clearly stated. The main ones were disasters in Shandong and Hebei. They needed a lot of food to save the people in those two places.

After investigation by the government, the two places were indeed hit by disasters, and the people were indeed starved of food... Therefore, the crime of hoarding can't be pinned on them.

The more food Cui Mian received in Chang'an, the disaster situation in Hebei and Shandong gradually improved.

This is a long-term war, and Yunchu didn't plan to win or lose in a short period of time. He cared more about the construction of Chang'an City than food.

Along with other things that have been rising, the price of labor for ordinary people has been rising. After hearing that the laborers in Chang'an City can earn a hundred dollars a day, the people around Chang'an flocked into the city during the slack season, ready to eat It's hard for a while, and I can make a lot of money.

It's a pity that their wish will come true, because one hundred dollars can buy as much grain as they used to buy for thirty dollars a day.

Therefore, the money they earn in Chang'an is destined to be spent in Chang'an. After all, Chang'an is expensive and hard to live in.

Although the construction of Chang'an City is still in full swing, the smiles on the faces of the people are gradually decreasing.

An economic disaster has completely stripped away the smiles on the faces of Chang'an people.

Chang'an City without a smiling face is the same as Huangquan.

The news of the lack of food in Chang'an reached Li Hong in Luoyang, and he wrote a long letter to Yunchu.

He told Yunchu that Lou Shide, an official under his sect, was cultivating in Longyou. Although he hadn't grown a lot of grain because of the short time, Lou Shide seemed to have anticipated the shortage of food in Chang'an, so he used the crown prince's help in Longyou. The relationship gathered a lot of food.

If Yunchu needs it, he will order Lou Shide to transport food into Chang'an City to relieve the urgent need.

In the early morning, Yunchu deliberately went to a large dining hall, where there were only a few diners who were bustling with people in the past.

Looking at the prices of various foods on the sign, Yunchu immediately understood why there were so few customers.

A bowl of copper coins for a bowl of rice, at such a price, to be honest, he is not willing to come.

"Brother, I have a lot of money." Naha held Yunchu's hand, feeling that her brother had been very haggard recently.

"Your copper coins have been almost spent by Li Hong."

"I still have a lot of jade, a lot of gold coins, gold sand, and gold nuggets."

"Those are good things, don't move, keep them."

"I heard that the price of yaks that Xu Jingye sold to his brother has increased?"

"Well, yes, more than doubled."

"Why does everyone bully my brother? Including the emperor, queen, prince...everyone is bullying my brother, even Master Xuanzang refuses to help you.

Otherwise, let's leave Chang'an and go back to the Western Regions. "

Yunchu looked at Naha and said with a smile, "Why are you going back to the Western Regions?"

"Brother is the king of the Buddha Kingdom. If we turn against them, forget it. With my brother here, I don't believe they dare to send people to die."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "You don't even want Li Hong?"

"No more!" Naha said firmly.

Yun Chu raised his hand to touch Naha's head, feeling really comfortable in his heart, this silly girl is willing to turn against people all over the world for her sake.

"Letting you live in pain is not what my elder brother wants to see. Letting you obtain the happiness you should have in your life is all the meaning of my existence as an elder brother.

Don't worry, it's a trivial matter, and the difficulty will pass sooner or later. "
