Chinese dining table

Chapter 74
The arrival of the old monkey made Yunchu deeply feel the malice caused by the disparity in status.

This malice was brought to him by Datang, and it was also brought to him by Chang'an.

The old monkey only needs to be led by Kui Ji to be able to move freely, and then get a rich, rich and gorgeous Chang'an.

And everything that the old monkey can enjoy, even if Yunchu pulls 2000 taels of gold in a carriage, he will never see it.

This is a critical moment that tests people's morality.

This critical moment is basically the same as the moment when Xiang Yu saw Qin Huang's chariot and Liu Bang saw Qin Huang's chariot.

Xiang Yu said: He can replace him.

Liu Bang said: A man should be like this.

Yun Chu said: It's nothing, it's a trivial matter, it can't change his state of mind, let alone make him feel frustrated.

Since I can be sent to Datang alone by the world, then I should struggle alone, and the result obtained in this way is the real and sweet one.

After Yunchu's family lived in Jinchangfang for three days, Cui brought her servants and a dozen women who were invited to help, and made a lot of steamed cakes at home.

These steamed cakes are all made of wheat flour, and there is not much bran in it, just because the wheat flour produced by the stone mill is not as white as Yunchu expected.

However, after each steamed cake is decorated with a red date, the steamed cake becomes a jujube bun, which looks very high-end.

Jinchangfang is very large, but the Da Ci'en Temple occupies [-]% of the land. Therefore, the actual population of Fangshi, which should have tens of thousands of people, is only [-] people, with a total of more than [-] households.

Every family has a large population, and it is not uncommon for three generations, four generations, and even five generations to live together.

As a newcomer, Yunchu planned to give two jujube buns to every family in Fangshi as a gift for newcomers.

Under the leadership of Fangzheng, after the closure of Fangshi, Yunchu took Naha, Cui Shi, and eight fats, and it took six full evenings to walk through more than [-] households one by one.

As Fangzheng Liu Yi said, most of the people living in Jinchangfang are poor families, and there are basically no big families.

However, the appearance of Yunchu's family, especially after giving away nearly [-] white flour steamed cakes in one go, can barely be counted as a big family in Jinchangfang.

The household registration of Datang people is very unreasonable. The situation of each household is clearly marked on the above, and even the wealth of the family is shown on the household registration.

Although there are more than 600 households living in Jinchangfang, there are no more than [-] households who actually settled in Chang'an, and the remaining more than [-] households live in Chang'an.

Only those who have a registered permanent residence can have Yongye land, and those who share the land with the registered permanent residence are just outside the city. If they don’t have a registered permanent residence, they don’t have these. They can only be counted as refugees. Even though they have a house and work in Chang’an, they are still refugees.

In Datang, the rich family is the natural leader of a group of poor families around. When the government cannot take care of it, this rich family is needed to organize the surrounding people to fight disasters or fight against the enemy.

Yunchu proved his family's wealth with more than 2000 steamed cakes, so Liu Yi naturally handed over the post of village chief that originally belonged to him.

Yun Chu looked at the old village chief who had not yet faded the blue palm print on his face, feeling a little bit embarrassed.

This is a very honest person, and also a very dutiful person, but his talent is not good enough after all.

The reason why Cao, the grandson of Wannian County, treated Liu Yi evilly was because he had not received filial piety from Jinchang Fang.

A small official from the eighth rank wants to live comfortably in Chang'an. If he does not have these extra filial pieties, he will probably starve to death. After all, the monthly salary of a small official from the eighth rank in the Tang Dynasty is only five buckets of rice. Give seven hundred, and if you have no money, you will give ten catties of salt.

Of course, officials in Beijing still have some income from official land. According to court rules, officials from the eighth rank like Yunchu still have [-] shi of official land grain every year. It is a pity, because all the official land near the capital belongs to the royal family. We, Yunchu, and small officials like Sun Hucao usually have official fields three hundred miles away, and their harvests fail every year.

Therefore, in the face of no income, it was only natural for Sun Hucao to slap Liu Yi.

It is said that every year Liu Yi gets a slap in the face to replace filial piety, that is to say, Liu Yi would rather get a slap in the face than get money from the people in a clever way.

After Yunchu's family became the largest wealthy household in Jinchangfang, Yunchu also became the chief of Guangmingli.

It can be seen that Liu Yiru has been pardoned...

After becoming the head of Guangmingli, Yunchu directly occupied two unoccupied houses, and after tidying up a little, he ordered the entire Guangmingli to take a bath every three days.

One copper coin is charged for a bath. If you don’t have money to bathe in the specially set up bathhouse, you must bathe yourself at home. Anyway, there can’t be a disheveled person in the entire Jinchangfang.

After the order from Lichang Yunchu was issued, there was an uproar in Guangmingli. Countless people surrounded Yunchu's house and cursed loudly. They must give them an explanation from Yunchu, a corrupt official.

When Yun Chu appeared at the door of the house with a murderous look, wearing a mountain armor, holding a spear, a Tang knife in his waist, six short spears on his back, and riding a similarly armored bay red horse, the curses and noise immediately subsided. .

The 14-year-old Yunchu who practiced martial arts since he was a child is now more than 1.7 meters tall. He rides on the back of a tall bay red horse, and the fierce and stern aura cultivated on the battlefield makes these even the soldiers of the government feel uncomfortable. The people of Jinchangfang who are not qualified are silent like cicadas.

Yun Chu stretched out his hand and stuck the spear on the ground, then pulled out the short spear behind his backhand, and threw them in a chain like lightning. superior.

Chang'an City hadn't experienced a war in decades, and where these people could withstand Yun Chu's intimidation, the less courageous ones kneeled at the door of Yun's house with their legs weak at the time.

Yun Chu urged the bay red horse, and the bay red horse pattered on the stone road with the horseshoes on. Wherever the bay red horse went, the crowd dispersed loudly.

Naha leaned on the fence of Yun's house, and threw a baseball bat made of ash wood. Yun Chu grabbed it, gave up the spear, and waved the stick to attack the people who had turned around and fled.

The baseball bat made a frightening "whoosh" sound in mid-air, and the people who came looking for trouble ran away one after another. Yunchu rode a horse and chased after him in the alley. He didn't return until no one could be seen in the alley. Go to Yun's house and dismount.

There is no way for one person to reason with hundreds of people.

How could Yunchu not understand this truth? At the same time, he also believed that under the strict laws of the Tang Dynasty, these people should be more unwilling to conflict with government organizations than those in later generations, especially officials like Yunchu.

Violence is the original source of power, and Yunchu is very fortunate that the government agencies in the Tang Dynasty were violent enough.

When the door-opening drum sounded the next day, Yunchu was standing by the door with a baseball bat in his hand, watching Fangzheng Liu Yi open the door.

Yun Chu wanted to catch some unhygienic villagers as models, but he didn't expect to find even a disheveled and disheveled guy.

They had no choice but to look angrily at the residents, and proudly left Jinchangfang to go to work. Some even deliberately rolled up their sleeves in front of Yunchu, so that he could inspect their black arms that had been cleaned with great difficulty.

Liu Yi said to Yunchu with some sadness: "Li Zhang, there is no way, these people would rather take a bath at home than go to our bathhouse.

If the chief wants to get money, he has to find another way. "

Yun Chu sneered and said: "It's too tender for them to escape from Lao Tzu's hands. After three days, we will not only check the unkempt people, but also enter their homes to check whether their homes are clean. If I find them out If there are fleas, lice, termites, rats and the like, they will be punished severely, and after the severe punishment is over, they will be fined."

Liu Yi looked worriedly at the furious new chief, and advised, "These people's homes have been dirty for decades, and it's too difficult to clean them all at once.

Otherwise, they will go to the county government to file a complaint. "

Yun Chu sneered and said, "Liu Yi, do you know why you have to be slapped on by grandson Cao every year?"

Liu Yi spread out his hands and said, "You have no money to be filial."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "The main reason is that Jinchangfang under your jurisdiction has no shit, and there is no chance for Sunhu Cao and the others to intervene in Jinchangfang's affairs to make money. That's why people hate you."

Liu Yi suddenly raised his head to look at Yun Chu and said, "What the chief of the village means is that if those people go to the county government..."

Yun Chu laughed loudly and said, "Do you think the county government will help these people to punish me, who works for the county government?

You have to remember that I am also an official after all. "

After Yunchu finished speaking, he found that there were people in shabby clothes within his field of vision, but he couldn't even see a disheveled person, so he dragged his baseball bat back home resentfully.

Liu Yi quickly stopped a few reckless people who were spitting at Chao Yunchu's back, and whispered: "Don't dare to let him see, this guy is a murderer who came down from the battlefield!
I heard that in the city of Qiuci in the Western Regions, they were killed out of thousands of Turkic troops. The whole person was killed like a blood gourd. The arrows taken from the armor alone exceeded twenty.

Since he wants to make money, we don't give him a chance; just make money, he wants us to be neatly dressed and clean, so we should take a shower at home and wash clothes frequently, and he wants us to clean up the house, so we should clean up the house Just don't give him a chance to get angry.

You have also seen that today, everyone is clean, so he has no chance to make money. Maybe he wants to come home and shoot?
Forgive him for not daring! "

Everyone nodded repeatedly, expressing that Liu Yi is a good person who wholeheartedly goes to them.

After Yunchu returned home, Mrs. Cui immediately served the court food. After Yunchu washed his hands, he drank porridge and ate steamed stuffed buns with pickles.

Cui waited until Yunchu was full, and said in a low voice: "Is it okay for Mr. Lang to cause public anger like this?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "You have underestimated the patience of the people, as long as you don't snatch their property, occupy their wives and daughters, leave them a way of life, and give them some sweets, believe me, they will like me in the future. long."
