A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 210
At the entrance of the East Palace, I handed back the badge for entering and exiting the palace. Seeing that it was still early, I rode a horse to the East Market. The business of Qianjintang was still booming.

The signature elixir is now queuing up to buy, and many rich families simply throw down the money first, and just send it to the family when they have the medicine, no bargaining.

"Our family's soap is very hot right now, and the supply is in short supply. Can you ask Longyou to rush over a few batches?" Zhao Yi asked Huaiyu immediately when he saw Huaiyu.Soaps are manufactured and supplied by Meiyutang in Zhang County, Longyou.

Qianjintang also orders from Meiyutang, but Qianjintang will do some different packaging and marketing according to its customer base. They dare to sell thousands of dollars for a beautiful running script card.

They even produced some limited editions with serial numbers, which sold for tens of thousands of dollars per box, and they were still very popular.

Who would have thought that a pharmacy selling these beauty and skin care products could be so popular.

After sitting in the store for a while, I went to the pharmaceutical workshop at the back to have a look, and then checked the pharmacy, warehouse, and the dormitories of the employees behind, all of which were pretty good.

The big pot of rice cooked in the kitchen is dry rice, and there is one meat, two vegetables and one soup.

"Can I have meat every day?"

"Yes, every day we will ask the butcher to deliver food, either pig's head, pork belly, pig's intestines or lamb bones, lamb belly, etc. There is also a meal of meat every ten days. The food is very good, and it smells of oil every day." Zhao said. Yi is very proud, who can get such a good treatment, the shopkeeper and the big guys are not bad.

Huaiyu looked at those pork intestines, pork belly, pig lungs, etc., and knew that Zhao Yi and the others were saving money for themselves. These offals are cheap, but they are not easy to clean, and if there is a lack of seasoning, there is indeed a bit of a smell, but for the shop assistants For us, this is meat after all.

People who lack non-staple food and oily water are usually hard and busy. The body likes these meaty things the most. No one cares about the taste. What everyone cares about is filling their stomachs and having oily water.

"My guys, when they stand on the side of the street, they are all fatter than other guys, and their faces are rosy!"

"Who doesn't envy our boss's generosity!"

Huaiyu was quite embarrassed when he heard this, "You can't just buy these cheap offal. It's too little to eat good meat once in ten days. You can eat better meat once in five days."

Looking through the account book, now Runniang no longer serves as the accountant of Qianjintang, and has recruited a relative of the Wu family. He is relatively honest and honest, and he is good at accounting.

There was a lot of income on the books, Huaiyu was not in a hurry to pay dividends, but told Zhao Yi, "I see that everyone has worked hard recently, so I will pay out a sum of money like this, and give everyone a winter benefit, and apprentices a hundred yuan. , other guys wait for more."

"Recently, do you have any family or relatives and friends who need to borrow money and food?"

"Yes, but I took them to the Longevity Hall to repay the loan."

"how?"

"It's still quite a lot, but now that food prices have dropped, everyone is better off."

"If people in our shop have difficulties and need to borrow money and food, they can borrow directly from the counter. As long as it does not exceed the figure we set before, no interest will be charged. If the excess is not much, less interest will be charged. They If relatives and friends want to borrow it, they should take Changshengtang to borrow it."

"How is the construction of the West Market Branch going?"

"Soon, it will open a year ago,"

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Huaiyu rode to the West Market again. The Qianjin Hall in the West Market had already been built, and everyone was still rushing to work. After saying hello to everyone, he went to the Longevity Hall again.

The business of Changshengtang Diansi is also good. The shopkeeper carefully reported that the last sale of Wei Zheng's house was considered an opening business, which could earn more than 2000 yuan, but it is still frozen.

Although it is a partnership business, after all, Huaiyu is the major shareholder. Seeing such a profit, the loss caused by dismissal is also filled.

Riding a horse to the nearby Huaiyuanfang Fan Mansion.

"I was dismissed, and now I have no official position. I originally said that I would ask my boss for leave to get married today, but now it's fine, I don't need to ask for it."

Fan Xuanfu was rather happy after hearing this, and now he can spend more time concentrating on the wedding.

"Why is Wei Zheng so annoying? Do you want to find a way to deal with him?"

The two of them chatted about each other for a long time, until Fan Xing returned home, Huaiyu hurriedly slipped away.

As soon as he returned to Yongxingfang's house on horseback, the steward of Changsun Wuji's family drove three horse-drawn carts, a cart of copper coins, two thousand catties, a cart of silk, and a cart of grain.

"My family Alang said that General Wu was implicated today, causing the general to be dismissed from his post, and he was fined [-] catties of copper. My family Alang said that General Wu doesn't have to worry about the official position, so he will hold the wedding at home for the time being, and wait for a period of rest. , he will definitely arrange it for General Wu.”

"The general was fined twenty catties of copper, and my family, Alang, specially sent two thousand catties of copper coins."

"Alang said that the general lost his official position and had to rest for a while, and he would lose some monthly salary and living expenses, so he sent a cart of silk and a cart of grain. The silk was 24 pieces, and the grain was [-] shi."

Huaiyu looked at the three carts full of money, food and silk, and was speechless in surprise.

Big money.

The first favorite of the new emperor, his actions are different.

The usual copper coins are six catties and four taels, which is exactly 100 taels. These two thousand catties of copper coins are a full 320 guan, and there are three hundred bolts of silk and 24 stone grains.

This compensation is really in place.

Huaiyu is now a sixth-rank official, and the yearly Lumi is only ninety shi, which is less than eight shi in a month. As for the salary and money, with his fifth-rank official position, it is only [-] yuan a month. money.

Now the price of silk has fallen, and a piece of silk is only two hundred yuan, but the three hundred pieces are worth sixty guan.

The salary money came three times a month, and the elder Sun Wuji directly gave 360 ​​yuan, [-] months of compensation,

"Well, what's so funny?"

"A Lang said that General Wu must accept it. Originally, he wanted to come in person, but now he is going to reflect at home, and it is inconvenient to go out. In the future, he will come to the door in person."

Fatty's eldest grandson knows how to be a man, but I don't know if he has sent such three carts of money and food to the school captain who is on duty today, probably not.

In fact, the relationship between people is not so pure, you have to be worthy of others to value you, Wu Huaiyu is not an ordinary military officer of the fifth-rank forbidden army, Changsun Wuji knows it very well.

Huaiyu is also clear.

He accepted the gift, and the steward of the grandson's family left.

Huaiyu sent the person to the door to go back, only to see Wei Zheng standing at the door of his house looking over here.

"Duke Wei!" Huaiyu stepped forward.

In the end, Wei Zheng didn't pay attention to him, and retreated back home, even closing the door.

Grass!
Huaiyu's nose almost turned crooked.

"Old Taoist Wei, don't even want to eat my spinach in the future!" Huaiyu shouted at the closed door of Wei's house.

No one responded.

Huaiyu was very angry. Last time when Wei Zheng borrowed money, he left some leeway, but this old boy didn't know how to restrain himself.

Looking at the gate of Wei's house, he thought of an idea, asking Wei Zheng to use the secret recipe of Wei Gongjiu to pay off the debt.

Using the name of Wei Gong Liquor, and even using his family's secret wine making recipe, Wu Huaiyu paid for the packaging of this brand, expanded production, and established a winery. At that time, he will use his Fang and his name to make a lot of money to drive Wei Zheng to death.

This can also add a money-making project for myself, and it also disgusts Wei Zheng once,
If you don't want to hand over the prescription, then you can hand over the house. His family has a [-]-acre yard. Although the house is a bit dilapidated, it is next door. It would be nice to tidy it up and make a garden.

Seeing her husband coming back after closing the door, Mrs. Pei said helplessly to her husband when she heard Wu Huaiyu's scolding outside, "The previous matter has not been resolved, why bother?
The patriarch, Sun Wuji, is the empress's elder brother, and also His Majesty's confidant Yuan Cong. Now he is red and purple, and if he accidentally enters the palace with a sword, you can point it out, why bother to say that he should be executed according to the law?
Aren't you offending people to death? "

"You impeached the uncle of the country, and why do you want to bring Wu Erlang in?"

Wei Zheng ignored his wife and went back to his study.

The steward of the Changsun family had just left for a while, and Empress Changsun sent someone to the Wu family to reward her.

The emperor rewarded some palace silk, embroidery, and a pair of silver basins.

This pair of silver bowls is much larger and heavier than the silver vases that Li Shimin often bestows on his courtiers.

The person sent by the queen didn't say anything, but everything was kept silent.

Lao Wu came home from get off work from Qujiang Shenjifang. When he saw the money, food and silver basins, and heard what happened to Huaiyu today, the old man just patted him on the shoulder, "It wasn't you who committed the crime, you just happened to meet him. If you are implicated, don't worry about this kind of thing, after a while, you will definitely be reinstated, so you can prepare for the wedding at home."

The old man said calmly, but turned around and went to the wall separating Wei Zheng's house. He led a sheep to the wall, slaughtered the sheep directly under the wall, and then poured the blood of the sheep on Wei Zheng on the other side of the wall. In the vegetable field at home, in the end, all the sheep heart, liver, tripe, intestines, and lungs were thrown away.

After throwing it away, he leaned on the wall and yelled at the Wei family.

"Wei Zuocheng, Mrs. Pei, I will kill a sheep at home today, and I will give you some heart, lung, intestines and stomach, so make up for it,"

Wei Zheng and his wife were yelled at by him, and when they came to see the blood and feces all over the vegetable field, as well as those heart and soul, they frowned angrily, but Wei Zheng didn't dare to confront Lao Wu directly.

Pei Shi felt that it was wrong, even if the vegetable garden was filthy with these bloody viscera, it was not good to come forward and say something.

"Both of you, eat more heart and liver to replenish your body. If it's not enough, tomorrow my family will kill a sheep and bring it back to you."

After saying that, Lao Wu jumped off the wall and left.

Wei Zheng was left pointing at the empty wall, blushing and speechless.

At this time, Wu Huaiyu's voice came from the other side of the wall, "Aye, those sheep are in the water, those heart, stomach, lungs and intestines, why throw them away, why not give them to my two dogs, they will shake people after eating them Where's the tail?"

"Well, I gave it to the old Wei's next door. Next time, I will feed it to the dogs and give it to them with kindness. I don't even say thank you. I'm still a scholar, and it's all in the dog's stomach." Old Wu replied.

Wei Zheng was so angry that he almost fainted.
