Chapter 75 The Cow Does Not Drink Water

Compared with the street managed by Yunchu, the people in Jinchangfang are really too obedient.Obedience is also much better.

If Yunchu had acted like he was in Jinchangfang on the street he managed, he would have been mobbed and attacked by the mob by now.

Not to mention that he was riding a horse to intimidate the people, even if he spoke rudely, he would be photographed every minute, and the video was posted on the Internet and exhibited.

If a street or a city wants to develop well, sanitation and the temperament and appearance of the people will always come first.

If you want to revive a dead street or a market, you must mobilize everyone, and getting money from the people is always the lowest method.

Are there rich households in Jinchangfang?

Of course, the Yun family is not even considered dust in front of the rich family of Da Ci'en Temple, but it is obviously very difficult for Yunchu to get money from Da Ci'en Temple to develop the street.

Since ancient times, only those who gave alms to the monk's temple have never seen anyone who took money from the monk's temple. In addition, Da Ci'en Temple is a royal temple. If Yunchu made this request, he would be politely withdrawn from the temple by the monks and monks immediately. Throw it out.

Yun Chu didn't believe in this evil, he felt that the Ci'en Temple could not occupy more than [-]% of the land in Jinchangfang, but it didn't care about the interests of Jinchangfang.

Therefore, every time Fangzheng Liu Yi closed the gate, the Jinchang Fang would be filled with dust and killing noises!
The scene of more than 5000 people catching mice together can be described as grand, basically every road is tightly blocked, except for the direction of Daci'en Temple.

Wai San Que - This is the art of war. Under normal circumstances, Buddhism is no match for the art of war. The people in Jinchangfang suddenly started a new life hygiene campaign. Even the tatters that have not been moved for many years need to be rearranged. The rats had to start fleeing en masse.

So, when a young novice was adding lamp oil to the green lamp in front of the Buddha, he suddenly found a bunch of mice running around in the middle of the ancient Buddha.

Suddenly, a shrill scream resounded through Da Ci'en Temple.

When Xuanzang found out that many of the scriptures he had finally translated had been bitten by rats, he also began to ask the Zhike monk in charge of foreign affairs in the temple why the rat infestation was so serious in Da Ci'en Temple.

Knowing guests and monks with ashen faces, rats stealing lamp oil, gnawing on Buddha statues, covering doors and windows, and sharing the same bed with monks, that’s all. But they gnawed the scriptures translated by Master Xuanzang. This is something that cannot be tolerated anyway.

As a result, the Da Ci'en Temple also launched a vigorous rodent eradication campaign.

When the common people get rid of rats, as long as they have the opportunity, they will of course beat them to death. The monks who kill rats are pitiful. They still insist on not killing animals, so they can only play hide-and-seek with the rats. On the contrary, there are more and more.

Because, the mice keenly discovered that if they left the Da Ci'en Temple, they would be beaten to death soon. If they stayed in the Da Ci'en Temple, not only would they have plenty of food, but they would not be in danger of their lives.

Perhaps the rats were also connected. When Yunchu was having a hard time finding a rat in common people's homes, the rat infestation in Da Ci'en Temple had reached its peak.

When the old monkey came to Yunchu's house again, his ear was obviously injured.

"Recently, I don't know where there are so many rats. Even Master Xuanzang's scriptures have been bitten. Is there anything you can do?"

When the old monkey came, he didn't hide it and asked Yunchu directly.

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "There is no way to do it. We can only mobilize everyone to exterminate rats. However, it seems that you monks can't kill animals, right?"

Or do you mean you can't kill in front of everyone? "

The old monkey said calmly: "You drove all the mice in Jinchangfang into the temple. I found out about it. I helped you keep it a secret. What are you going to do? Tell me quickly, lest the monk Zhike find out. It's possible to kill your whole family."

Yun Chu smiled lightly and said, "He dare not!"

The old monkey said: "You're sure of him, right?"

"When I passed Zhuque Street a few days ago, someone was playing the game of assassinating the king and killing the king. I avoided it. Although I don't know who they want to kill, but there are still certain patterns in the monk's behavior. .”

The old monkey said seriously: "Do you suspect that those people are monks?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I didn't say that, it's just that the sandalwood scent on those people is too strong, even if it's snowing, it can't cover it."

The old monkey said: "Sandalwood is not only used by monks."

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Let's continue talking about the rats. I think that since the monks of Da Ci'en Temple can't drive away the rats, then it is reasonable to spend some money to invite the people of Jinchang Fang to enter the temple and help catch them. This should be a good solution to the temple rat problem."

"How much do you want?"

"Two hundred strings!"

"So little? This is not in line with your character."

"Two hundred guan per month! I guarantee that from now on, the people in Jinchangfang will be responsible for cleaning up all the bad things like rat infestation, insect infestation, and termites that Da Ci'en Temple encounters from now on."

The old monkey looked at Yunchu in astonishment and said, "What if he doesn't agree?"

Yun Chu sneered and said, "What is the rat problem? When termites appear on the beams and pillars of the Da Ci'en Temple, don't blame me for not making it clear in advance."

"Da Ci'en Temple can recruit people from outside, so it shouldn't be so expensive."

Yun Chu smiled and looked at the old monkey without saying a word.

The old monkey frowned and said, "These things can only be told to Master Xuanzang, if you tell that stupid Zhike monk, you will be out of luck."

Yunchu looked into the eyes of the old monkey and said, "I found that you have become stupid since you came to Chang'an, do you think that if the person who came to ask questions was not you, I would tell all the arrangements so clearly and unmistakably? ?
Let me tell you, the reason why I took the initiative to become this unlucky village head is to make Jinchang Fang the first safe place in Chang'an where I can entrust my family and life! "

"Why is it in Chang'an City? People's lairs are usually in remote places."

"Didn't you realize that as long as I close the gate of Jinchangfang, this place will be a solid city!"

"There are thousands of people in this workshop."

"It doesn't matter, what I am good at is not combat, but organization!"

The old monkey nodded, and went to look for Naha to play. Seeing his bright appearance with Naha, Yunchu was slightly jealous, because he found that the old monkey treated Naha better than his brother. many.

The person who really discovered the strangeness of the temple rat problem was Xuanzang. He felt that the temple rat problem should not come from within.

So, I asked the old monkey to take a look around. The old monkey walked around Jinchang Square and found that there were basically no rats in the rest of the place, but the Da Ci'en Temple was seriously infested with rats. He immediately thought of so many rats in the temple. Where did the rats come from.

After asking Yunchu for a question, he told Xuanzang all the news he had received.

I thought Xuanzang would be angry, but I didn't expect this old monk who was usually very quiet to laugh out loud.

"This little monkey, this little monkey..." There was an incomparable sense of pampering in the words of laughing and cursing.

Under the incomparably ambiguous eyes of the old monkey, Xuanzang summoned the Zhike monk and ordered him to invite the people of Jinchangfang to enter the temple at the price of [-] guan per month to eliminate the plague of rats and prevent future pests.

Xuanzang didn't give any explanation to the Zhike monk. Similarly, the fat Zhike monk didn't ask any questions, so he excitedly went to the Lichang Yunchu in Guangming to solve the problem.

There is a rat infestation in Da Ci'en Temple. The person who is most worried is definitely not Master Xuanzang, but him, a monk who knows guests.

Once His Majesty finds out that there are a large number of rats in the temple where he prayed for his mother, and these rats desecrated the statue of his mother, he will know what will happen to the monk Zhike.

When Yunchu brought the people of Jinchangfang into the temple with thousands of simple flap rat cages, and left the temple a day later with a cage full of rats, the Zhike monk looked at the rats in the cage and only knew one Put your hands together vigorously, proclaiming the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha."

When the number of rats in the temple dropped sharply, Yunchu received the first money for rat extermination—three hundred guan!

From now on, the people of Jinchangfang will not only be responsible for repairing the damaged parts of the Da Ci'en Temple, but also be responsible for dealing with the rats and insects that broke out in the temple from time to time, and even take care of the flowers and trees in the Da Ci'en Temple. It was assigned to Yunchu, the chief of Guangmingli.

Once you have a constant source of money, the rest is very, very easy.

The last time Yunchu chased and killed ordinary people all over the city on horseback and wearing armor, the impact was so bad that people in the city once thought their new chief was a bully!
And the chief of the village, who carries a baseball bat all day long to find faults all over the world and prepares to hit people, makes the common people tremble with fear.

Now that you have money, you will naturally stop using force.

First of all, Yunchu ordered that the two men's and women's bathhouses with nothing but cold water be completely turned into a men's and women's bathhouse with hot water at any time, and the fee is still a penny.

Liu Yi saw that the 35 coins in his hand had turned into a gorgeous bathhouse for men and women made of bluestone slabs and hung with animal heads, which made him so heartbroken that he could barely breathe.

And the expenses of the 35 pennies are only for this month. In the future, at least three pennies will be added to the firewood and charcoal money for boiling water every month, because he never thinks that anyone will go to Jinchangfang. Spend a penny to take a bath in that bathhouse.

For this reason, he sincerely assured Yunchu countless times that the people of Jinchangfang would clean themselves up neatly before going out, and he still couldn't change Yunchu's enthusiasm for bathhouses.

Only the cleanest and most well-dressed people can get a job from Yunchu that can earn forty Wen a month without leaving Jinchang Fang.

Calculated at five cents for a bucket of corn in the Tang Dynasty, it is definitely a good job to earn one hundred catties of corn a month.

Only the most handsome and cleanest lads in Jinchangfang have the opportunity to get these jobs.
