Chapter 91 The Bully Yunchu
Playing cotton is currently the most valuable family technical secret of the Yun family.

For this technology that can make the Yun family earn [-] pennies a day, Cui has implemented super-secret measures.

At present, the only people who know the technique of picking cotton are Yun Chu and Cui Shi.

Yun Chu just casually made a bow and hammer for playing cotton, and flicked it on his back a few times indiscriminately. Cui Shi did the rest by himself, and made up for the deficiencies.

That's right, in order to keep it secret, Cui would rather exhaust herself to death than let others intervene in the technical process of picking cotton.

This is also the reason why the Yun family can produce up to five quilts a day, not because it cannot be mass-produced, but after discussing with Yunchu, Cui decided that a long flow of water is better than a one-shot deal.

The biggest advantage of the maids who came back from the Ye Ting Palace auction is that they are very tight-lipped, and they have no relatives or reasons. They regard the Yun family as a place where they can stay for a lifetime and retire.

Women in their thirties, in this era when the average life expectancy is less than 45 years old, the imperial court's release of these court ladies out of the palace is completely an act of releasing life.

Cui wanted to get more maids from Ye Ting Palace, not those who were young, but those who were over 30 years old, and those who were completely desperate for the future and just wanted to find a safe place to spend the rest of their lives.

It really makes sense for her to do so, but it is not good for Yunchu's reputation. Ever since the Yun family bought a group of elderly court ladies, there have been rumors in Jinchangfang that Yunchu, a young patriarch, loves old women!

This made the little ladies in Jinchang Fang heartbroken who had secretly promised Yun Chufang, and also made the middle-aged and young ladies in Jinchang Fang who boasted that they were still somewhat beautiful were full of confidence.

Cui Shi, who was covered in cotton wool, came out of a big house in the inner house, and Yun Chu handed her warm water and said, "It's not that there is no food, why are you working so hard?"

Cui gulped down half a bowl of water, wiped off the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and said, "I'm only willing to turn my head into a wealthy family if I bow my head."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Take it easy, the Yun family will become a big family, you have to be alive to see it, after you die, I will burn paper to tell you, even if you are happy, you can only scream like ghosts, chirping and chirping. significance."

Cui said with a smile: "The concubine is full of energy, she will definitely live to that time, and she will definitely see Naha become one of the most honorable ladies in Chang'an.

Does Mr. Lang know what it's like for the Yun family to make twenty pennies a day? "

Yun Chu thought for a while and said, "Twenty guan a day, six hundred guan a month, 7000 two hundred guan a year."

Cui said with a smile: "This is a tax for one year in Shangxian County! Although there are two guanqian in our family's twenty guanqian, there are still various sundries in the tax of Shangxian County in the imperial court. Down, not necessarily as high as our family's income.

The most wonderful thing is that our quilt business is not at all eye-catching, and it all comes from women's needlework, which can benefit for a long time.

This is the source of income that a big family should have. Unlike the Qinghe Cui family, one family occupies almost half of Qinghe's land, and there are tens of thousands of lackeys under it. "

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Don't take this matter too seriously. Whoever thinks it is safe should leave it to her and let her share some of the burden for you. After all, you are the chief steward of our house. If you continue like this, you will be tired. dead."

Cui said with a smile: "Mr. Lang is sympathetic to this old slave. How can this old slave not know that this old slave can still persist. When Mr. Lang marries the eldest lady and returns home, this old slave will hand over the work in his hand."

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "It's not necessary, you just need to hand over the money to her, forget about the craftsmanship, you initiated this matter, as long as you don't make mistakes, it will always be under your jurisdiction."

Cui wanted to manage the production of quilts with Yunchu, and the intention of selling power was obvious.

Yunchu thought that she could give this power to her. Cui Shi probably thought that this power was very, very powerful. However, the matter of picking cotton was nothing in Yunchu's eyes.

Since giving power can make Cui Shi burst into greater enthusiasm for work, why not do it.

Naha is the happy fruit of the family. When this child is around, Yunchu feels very annoying. Her voice and her shadow are everywhere. Now that the child has entered the temple, Yunchu feels that there is no such thing at home. When I was a child, it didn't feel like a home at all, and the cold list was like a temple.

Tomorrow, I will report to Simen University, so Yunchu had to go into the study to open the book that I haven't opened for a long time.

Yunchu opened the book, and the content above still vividly appeared in his mind. Although the old monkey's teaching skills were poor and full of loopholes, who made Yunchu have an extremely strong self-learning ability?

Therefore, Yun Chu has already firmly memorized the knowledge of various scriptures on the bookshelf, and what he needs to do now is to master them.

However, mastery is not difficult for Yunchu, he only needs to listen to an authoritative gentleman to explain it again, and he will be able to achieve it.

What kind of classics the four schools study is actually not important, what is important is that the four schools themselves are a school specially opened by the royal family to curb the uncontrolled expansion of the gentry.

The "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System" official selection system formulated by Chen Qun of the Three Kingdoms has no way to adapt to the development of the times, but has brought endless disadvantages.

Therefore, as a substitute for Guozijian and Taixue, Simenxue came into being.

Of course, if Wu Yan can live up to his expectations and completely improve the imperial examination system, those who become officials through the back door like Simenxue will die, and will be completely reduced to the emperor's little back door to sell officials.

The breakfast in the morning is meat buns.

And Naha still hasn't come back, this kid likes to eat meat buns the most, and he can eat five or six of them every time.

In Naha's absence, Yunchu didn't have much appetite. After eating three meat buns and a bowl of millet porridge, he rode to Wubenfang near the imperial city.

Guozijian, Taixue, Simenxue, Confucianism, Engineering, and Law are all here, occupying almost half of Wubenfang.

Across the wall from Wubenfang is the Taimiao, and there is also a Confucian Temple in Wubenfang next to the Taimiao.

At this time, Confucius had not yet been sanctified, so he could only enjoy the leftovers left after the sacrifices in the Taimiao.

Regardless of how the Taimiao or the Confucian Temple offer sacrifices, anyway, the Shuxiu given by all the students to the gentlemen is absolutely indispensable.

On the back of Yunchu's horse were two bolts of silk, two jars of rice wine, two legs of cured mutton, and five hundred copper coins.

The good bay red horse was originally a proud war horse. Although the wound on the buttocks had healed, it was still very sensitive and disliked anyone or livestock touching his buttocks.

Now dragging silk cloth, rice wine, waxed mutton legs, and a clanging bag of money on his back, standing among the horses like a lowly draft horse, he is already very angry.

But there was a boring female pack horse who always put her mouth behind her buttocks to sniff carelessly, so the furious bay red horse jumped up and kicked out with two hind hoofs like copper hammers.

Hearing the whine of the female pack horse, she fell to the ground, kicking her legs wildly, unable to get up.

Yun Chu looked indifferently at the owner of the pack horse, and the owner of the pack horse also looked at him coldly.

Yun Chu said: "Let's leave this matter alone, is that okay?"

The young man on the opposite side shook his head and said, "No, pay me a draft horse."

Yun Chu frowned and said, "It's your horse that isn't authentic."

The young man on the opposite side said: "My draft horse is all about love, and it's all about courtesy. Is it inappropriate?"

Yun Chu thought for a while and said, "Your horse isn't dead, it's just injured. How about I pay you a hundred dollars to see a veterinarian?"

The young man sneered and said, "I bought a draft horse to carry things, and if it can't carry things, it's worthless to me.

Since you and I are both going to study in the Imperial College, I don't want you to pay me for my horse, as long as you or your horse carry my things in, how about letting it go? "

Yun Chu glanced at the bay red horse with its head held high, and then looked at the things scattered on the ground by the fallen draft horse, shook his head and said, "No."

The young man looked at Yun Chu's slowly clenched fist and said, "I won't compete with you."

Yun Chu slowly approached him and said, "You're older than me, isn't it because you took advantage of the boss in the martial arts competition?"

The young man backed away slowly, without stopping.

"Your horse looks like a valuable war horse at first glance, and has an extremely violent personality. You watched my draft horse being kicked and broken by your war horse, but you were indifferent. After you couldn't agree on something, you habitually squeezed it tightly." Fist, it shows that you are used to speaking with force.

And a person who rides a valuable war horse, sees the wounded bleeding without any fluctuations in his face, and someone who likes to talk with his fists, all prove one thing - your martial arts must be very good.

Today is the opening day of the Imperial Academy, if you dare to compete with me in such a crowded place, it can only show that you are sure of victory.

That being the case, why should I compete with you?

So, either pay me to handle the horse, or help me carry the things in, other than that, there is no third way to go.

I think, you don't want to let the doctors of the four disciplines think that you are a person who has a cruel temperament and uses force to solve problems at every turn, right? "

Yun Chu looked at the surrounding environment, slowly loosened his clenched fists, and said to the young man, "Very well, we study in the same place, and there will be a long time to come, so we will meet each other.

May I have your name?How much does that draft horse cost?I will pay you now. "

The young man frowned, as if he was in an ideological struggle, and finally shook his head and said: "I don't want compensation, you can go."

Yun Chu said solemnly: "You really don't want compensation?"

The young man shook his head resolutely and said, "No, you can do what you want."

"What's your name?"

"You and I are not happy to meet, it is better not to know each other."

Yun Chu nodded and said, "It makes sense."

After speaking, he led the bay red horse into the Imperial College.

The young man watched Yun Chu enter the Imperial College, squatted down and put away the scattered things, shook his head at the horse that started to vomit blood, and called two helpers from the street, one to help him carry the things into the Imperial College, One was in charge of moving the dying mare away from here.
