Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 382 Full Moon Wine

As soon as it was dawn, Sun Dali pushed the tricycle to the door of his house, and put a few large boxes of eggs in the trailer box. This is the full moon gift that his wife told him to give to Sun Xiangfu's two children. It is said that these eggs are all It's a double yolk egg, and I don't know why his old lady judged it.

It was already cold in Guanzhong in October, and the tricycle had no carriages, so Sun Dali didn't dare to let his two children sit on the trailer to blow the cold wind, so he asked his wife to take them and go with other families in the village to congratulate Sun Xiangfu. The villagers rode the carriage together, and the two little fellows always opened the curtains of the carriage to look at Sun Dali riding the carriage. In order to prevent the people on the carriage from blowing the cold wind, Sun Dali, who was already very skilled in riding, stepped on the carriage very fast. , wanting to leave the carriage far behind.

However, there was someone who was faster than him. Ma Sai exerted all his strength and slammed on the bicycle. After a while, he threw Sun Dali away. Yu Jie, who was sitting on the back of his bicycle, kept giving Sun Dali They made faces and told him to chase after them, so one rode a tricycle and pulled a load of eggs, the other rode a bicycle and pulled a person, and started a race on the cement road from Xingfu Village to Chang'an.

The servants of the Sun Mansion got up very early today, cleaned the inside and outside, and placed many fruit plates on the tea tables around the living room, set up many charcoal stoves, and boiled milk tea.

Today's Sun Xiangfu has a very different status and status. When he married Yu Xiu'er, the people who came to congratulate him were only a dozen or so guests, and most of them were farmers from Xingfu Village. Only when the Jianglou is private can we arrange for the next guests.

"Master, Master Yao and Master Li each arranged some programs, saying that they would dedicate them to the Eldest Young Master and Eldest Miss during the luncheon, and it would be considered as their congratulatory gifts."

Now, the price to invite Yao Hongxiu and Li Xiangdie to perform on stage is not low, and it is very rare to get a program exclusively arranged by them. However, the name is dedicated to the children, but in fact, it is for the guests present Look, because the children are too young to understand it at all, but the guests who came to congratulate them today are blessed.

"They are interested, and I will thank them later. In addition, Uncle De, you are so old. It always makes me feel awkward to call me the master. You can call me the boss, or the village head like the villagers. All right! I've given you your household registration, so don't call yourself an old slave, old man, old man, old man, you can do it all!"

Although Sun Xiangfu's mental age is more than 30 years old, this body is only in his twenties, and he is called a master, which makes him unable to accept it psychologically, and complains a little.

"This is not possible. There are many people in the house, so there must be some rules. The old slave is the housekeeper, and he must take the lead in implementing it. Master, you just need to get used to it."

Sun Xiangfu has no choice but to change the thoughts of his own family members, let alone those families who don't want to change. It seems that the second step of the citizenship system is not so easy to implement. Ideological education and publicity can't keep up. In fact, if the reform is forced, there will be a lot of backlash. Once the abortion occurs, it will be troublesome to continue the reform in the future.

As soon as the sun came out, guests arrived with gifts. It was Du Ruhui's two sons, Du Gou and Du He, who brought a large carriage of gifts in boxes and cages. Sun Xiangfu was a little embarrassed to accept them.

"You two Mr. Du, please sit in the room."

Sun Xiangfu avoided the visit of the two of them and welcomed them into the living room. Immediately, a maid in the mansion poured milk tea for the two of them. Du Gou was not much younger than Sun Xiangfu, and he had already become an official. The younger brother Du He was only about ten years old. After entering the living room of the Sun Mansion, he looked around and saw the milk tea brought by the maid, but he took it up and drank it without saying a word to Sun Xiangfu.

Historically, the fate of the two brothers of the Du family was not good. Du He was one of the masterminds of Li Chengqian's rebellion case, and also implicated his elder brother Du Gou, which caused Du Gou to be exiled to Lingnan and died in the border fields.

Du Gou was speechless for his immature younger brother, and said to Sun Xiangfu, "my father wanted to come to the governor's mansion to congratulate him in person, but he couldn't go out because his illness had not been eradicated, so he ordered my brother The two of you came here to congratulate the young master and young lady of the Dudu's family, and wish the young master and young lady in Dudu Sun's mansion good health and a safe life."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "Hehe, then the governor will thank Duke Lai for his kindness on behalf of the dog and the dog girl. By the way, I heard that His Majesty visited your mansion yesterday. What can I say?"

Hearing this, Du He replied with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty said that this is the time when Datang is employing people, let my father rest well, take care of his health, and have important things to do in the future."

When Sun Xiangfu heard the words, he knew that Du Ruhui was so polite today that he had brought so many gifts, and he laughed again, "Lai has both talents and morality, and should be used for the country. I believe that in the spring of next year, he will be able to return to court."

"I also want to thank Dudu Sun for his kindness in saving me. After the mansion received the post yesterday, my father said, let the two of us come earlier today. If there is anything in the mansion that needs help, you can tell my brother to do it." , In addition, I also need a letter for me to bring to you."

As he said that, Du Gou took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Sun Xiangfu. Before Sun Xiangfu opened the letter, he knew what Du Ruhui was going to say, and asked his two sons to come from the house to help with work. Didn't he be entrusted to take care of these two people? How could a long-sighted person like Du Ruhui fail to see his Sun Xiangfu's position in the Tang court in the future!Therefore, among Sun Xiangfu's related households, I'm afraid the Du family will be added in the future.

Of course, in addition to asking Sun Xiangfu to accept Du He as a farmer's disciple and transfer Du Gou to his subordinates as an official, the letter also gave Sun Xiangfu a lot of suggestions on the preparation of strategic materials. The burden of Tang's quartermaster is not in the hands of Sun Xiangfu.

He has already foreseen that as long as Sun Xiangfu properly completes the logistics tasks of this war, then the position of the Duke of the State cannot be lost. Don't look at the fact that the Duke of the County is only one step away from being promoted to the Duke of the State, but this level is The most difficult thing to overcome is that there are hundreds of prefects and counties in Datang, while there are only about twenty Dukes, and the top officials in the center must be Dukes.

When the rank of the title reaches the level of Duke, the nature changes. Even if you do something wrong, as long as you don’t rebel, the emperor will be demoted and demoted. If you are punished for a small matter, you will commit a crime that must be killed, and generally it will not harm your family. Pei Ji and Hou Junji in history are examples.

Earlier, Du Ruhui suggested that Sun Xiangfu should do so when it was time to collect supplies from the people. Don't worry about the people complaining too much. This is also a relatively long-term consideration. Judging from the situation when Du Ruhui was sick and left the court, that kind of plan was correct. .

But this time, after chatting with Li Shimin, he may have known the current situation of Datang, so he stopped suggesting that Sun Xiangfu directly collect supplies from the common people, but repeatedly urged Sun Xiangfu in the letter not to play with the bank's credit system. He took it off, because he had already seen the hidden dangers in this area, but Sun Xiangfu had to admire his talent.

This is a person who is extremely accurate in seeing things even when he is sick. He is much better than Li Shimin after he first knew the functions of the bank. .

"I already know what your father means. In a few days, I will ask the Ministry of Officials to transfer you to the Ministry of Agriculture. Are you willing?" Sun Xiangfu took the letter paper and asked Du Gou.Zuo Zuo is just a rank-[-] petty official, if he says a word, Wen Yanbo will still give him face.

"Xiaguan is exactly what I wish for, but my younger brother..."

"Your brother can go to Shanyang to study, but you have to start with basic knowledge. When I go to Shanyang later, I will bring him with me!"

Hearing this, Du Gou was overjoyed, as if he had handed over a heavy burden and said, "Then thank you Dudu Sun."

Heavy gifts are not so easy to receive, but Sun Xiangfu is worried that there are too few people under his command who can do things, so he didn't cause any trouble for himself by arranging the two brothers of the Du family. After talking here, many guests came to the door up.

Qin Qiong's family and Dugu Mou's family all brought more festive gifts, mostly waist drums to coax the children!Children's clothes, hats and other things made of fine Sichuan brocade materials.

People like Yu Chigong who have special skills gave gifts that were quite unique. He gave [-] kinds of weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds made of bronze by himself, but they were all only half a foot long, and they were blunt. A kind of toy for children.

The old man also said that when a child is a few months old, he has to grab something to play with. This kind of small weapon is the most suitable. Grabbing and playing with it from an early age can train him to grow up. The feeling of playing with these things, Sun Xiangfu has never raised a child in two lifetimes, so let's just believe it, it just prevented this old man from wanting to hold a child, in case he was made to cry by this rough-handed old guy , but it will affect everyone's mood too much.

After that, more and more guests came. Ministers from various ministries, the generals of the sixteen guards, officials from the headquarters of the Ministry of Agriculture, and many courtiers who were not well-known by Sun Xiangfu all came. Of course, the biggest guest today is to It belongs to the Yu family.

Yu Shinan became Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he and Sun Xiangfu controlled two major departments in the court, and they were married. In the future, who would dare not give them some face?
The Yu family's congratulatory gift was worth ten carts, and the other family's gift was given away as soon as it was given, and the Yu family's gift had to be sung in public, just like Yu Xiuer's dowry back then, and then, without any accident, she was blinded. The titanium gold dog eyes of the guests who came to congratulate them, not to mention the gold and silver utensils, silk and satin, just the bank's 100 million bank deposits, how many of them are present?

If you want to talk about why the Yu family is so rich, everyone knows something.

At the beginning of the year, he took over a big order from the imperial court, which was to provide books to schools in prefectures and counties across the country. This year, Li Shimin promoted the school to the county level. In order to make money, the purchase by the imperial court alone has made the Yu family hundreds of thousands of profits, because the cost of printing books with cheap paper from Sun Xiangfu is too low.

As for this cultural industry business, Sun Xiangfu suggested the Yu family to do it. Now, the Yu family is just sending the Sun family's share of what the Sun family deserves in disguise.

To everyone's surprise, not long after the Yu family's gift list was finished, the emperor's gift also arrived, and the car drove to Furong Garden. At this time, Sun Dali, who was exhausted after riding a tricycle for more than three hours, After chasing Ma Sai in front, he also arrived not far from the gate of the Sun Mansion.
