Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 741 Family Trivia
In fact, not only Cheng Yaojin had nothing to do, but Cheng Chumo himself had nothing to do. For so many years, Datang's army has been training, training, and training, and they have never fought a serious battle at all.

And a guy like him who is only good at wielding guns and clubs, and is not good at learning scientific and cultural knowledge, was eliminated to the second echelon directly during training, and he has long since lost the possibility of commanding troops to fight. Since he was transferred to Nanya After the imperial army, there was nothing else to do except check the post for a few hours in the Daming Palace every day, and they got off work when the time came, basically no different from the captain of the property security in later generations.

Now, there are no unscrupulous people rushing into the imperial palace. Everyone knows that it is a place to deal with major national affairs. If there are any major policy issues, the Ministry of Rites will publish explanations in the newspapers in advance, which can basically guide public opinion and make people feel better. It has always maintained a positive attitude.

Therefore, the guards standing guard at the gate of the palace are watching the scenery every day, or being regarded as a scenery.

Sun Xiangfu listened to Cheng Chumo's nagging, smiled and said, "I'll give you an idea, you can use it after you go back, and it won't be so troublesome to take care of your father."

Cheng Chumo was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Then tell me quickly."

Sun Xiangfu said, "Just tell your father that the people who enter Lingyan Pavilion will have their life and deeds engraved into monuments for future generations to watch, so he has to pay attention to his speech, behavior and image.

If something like beating a painter is engraved into the inscription, wouldn't it make people laugh at future generations?
You ask him to do more good things, such as donating money for charity, doing public welfare, supporting education in poor areas, infrastructure development and so on. In this way, all his achievements will be written in the inscriptions, making his image glorious and stalwart, and The descendants of your old Cheng family, with his reputation, will have more face in front of others in the future. Anyway, your family now holds shares in so many companies, and the annual dividends have gone to sea, not bad money . "

"Can this method work?" Cheng Chumo asked with some doubts.

"Believe me, this matter may cause a wave of public welfare and charity in Chang'an City. If this spreads to His Majesty, the person who initiated it must be a great achievement." Sun Xiangfu patted Cheng Chumo on the shoulder and said.

At this time, the milk tea from the milk tea shop was also served. Sun Xiangfu took a sip, and the taste was really good. Some fine fruit pieces soaked in honey sugar water add sweetness and fruity aroma to the milk tea.

From this point, Sun Xiangfu can see that the shops on Chang'an Street may have innovations similar to cooking, which can be regarded as a kind of social progress.

Seeing what Sun Xiangfu said was serious, Cheng Chumo decided to try it after returning home. Now, as long as the old Cheng does not make troubles in their family, the whole family will be much more relaxed, but this old guy, the older he is, the more he looks like a child. Cheng Chumo is very much looking forward to what the serious look will look like.

Instead, Sun Xiangfu knew the basic situation in Guanzhong through some small talk with Cheng Chumo.

The average monthly income of the people here has reached at least five guan, even in the store, the waiter selling milk tea can get so much wages, which is comparable to some skilled workers in the previous few years, and those who really entered In the technical trade industry, it can usually reach ten or twenty.

The management level is even higher. The bottom management has [-] to [-] guan, the middle management has [-] to [-] guan, which is comparable to the salary of a county magistrate, and the top management has more than [-] guan. The governor of Bizhou is not bad, with a monthly income, he can buy a well-decorated three-bedroom apartment in Chang'an.

When people's income is higher, they hope to live a better life. The food is improved, and the clothes are the same.

Now, most of the people in Guanzhong start to wear pure cotton underwear, and some coats made of cotton and linen blended materials that can set off the shape of the body. In spring and autumn, they will wear woolen sweaters, and in summer they will wear silk or linen. In winter, ordinary people wear thick padded jackets, while those in better condition wear cashmere coats, and many wear high-end fur.

Not counting the style and workmanship of the clothes, the quality of the raw materials of the clothes is not inferior to that of the developed countries of later generations. To a certain extent, their wealth is no less than that of the economically developed countries of later generations.

Because basically everyone has no debts, has a job, has a certain amount of savings, and has a relatively comprehensive social security. They can raise wives and concubines, and they can have a lot of time to play and enjoy life.

Just like the sports meeting in Yunnan, more than 500 million people gathered to watch it. Even after the sports meeting ended, the number of foreign tourists there was more than hundreds of thousands all the year round, and it could even exceed one million in peak season. Because Datang has a large population base, the most important thing is that everyone has the conditions to spend money, time and go out to play.

After making an appointment with Cheng Chumo to visit Weinan tomorrow, Sun Xiangfu got up and prepared to go home. Although it was more than ten kilometers away from Chang'an City to the Sun Mansion in Furong Garden, Sun Xiangfu did not let the driver step on the car too fast. , just walking slowly, so that he can watch the street scene in the city carefully and feel the difference of this city.

It's not all gratification. Sometimes, he will feel some inexplicable pressure. These changes are all brought to this world by him. What if it gets worse?
After all, the phenomenon of cannibalism still exists in industry and capitalist society.

Simply, the situation I see now is not bad, and I don't need to think about things that far away for the time being.

When I got home, it was already evening, and Yu Xiu'er was disciplining the children again. I don't know what happened to these little guys, and they stood in a long row in the living room with their heads downcast.

Seeing Sun Xiangfu came back, they seemed to have seen a savior, and they all looked for help.

"What's going on here?" Sun Xiangfu gave them a reassuring look, and asked Yu Xiu'er who was sitting on the main sofa with a straight face.

"You let them speak for themselves." Yu Xiu'er said angrily.

In fact, when Sun Xiangfu asked, he knew that Yu Xiuer was playing such a trick, so after sitting down on the sofa next to him, he glanced at the children pretending to be majestic, and said, "Who can tell Dad, Why are you making your mother angry?"

"Father, I was wrong."

The eldest son, Sun Jing, took the lead first, and a group of younger ones followed suit, "Father, I was wrong."

Sun Xiangfu liked their attitude of admitting their mistakes very much. He turned his head and said to Yu Xiu'er with a smile, "Look, Xiu'er, they all know they were wrong, so don't be angry, tell you! Anger can easily lead to gray hair, and the face Wrinkles easily..."

"Shut up, don't gossip about him, this trick can't scare me anymore, they haven't said anything wrong yet! Just try to persuade me not to be angry, you just want to excuse them." Yu Xiuer called Sun Xiangfu's words were cut off.

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu's face was embarrassed, the routine was used too early, it was seen through, and it had a counterproductive effect, so he glanced at the little guys with some embarrassment, and as expected, what he saw was their somewhat disappointed expressions .

"Well, you guys, what did you do to make your mother so angry." Sun Xiangfu said with a straight face again.

"Father, we shouldn't steal jujubes from Wang Shijian's house." Sun Jing replied again.

"Stealing dates?" Sun Xiangfu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he remembered that it was September, when the red dates were ripe, and in the Furong Garden alone, there were dense numbers of dates hanging on the date trees in several houses. Everyone is red.

However, jujube is necessary to steal from a family like Sun Xiangfu?
Say hello to Uncle De, you can go to the street at any time, buy them a few big cars and come back!
Therefore, Sun Xiangfu looked at Sun Jing with puzzled eyes, waiting for his next words.

"It's Wukong and Wufan. They saw the jujube tree in Wang Shijian's yard and they squeaked and wanted to eat it, so..." Sun Jing hesitated and didn't continue.

"So what?"

"So, we climbed over the wall and climbed in. The dates are so delicious, crispy and sweet. No wonder Wukong and Gohan want them. I'm afraid they will make trouble again tomorrow, so I want to pick more. My brothers and sisters are on the wall. The elder sister and I picked it from the tree and threw it out, who would have imagined that my mother would come back from outside and bump into it."

"If you don't ask yourself, that's stealing. Do you know that stealing is a crime?" Yu Xiu'er continued after Sun Jing told the story for the first time.

Sun Xiangfu persuaded from the side, "Wang Shijian is also an acquaintance. Eating a few dates from his house has nothing to do with theft. I said you guys, can't you go in and say hello?"

"He's not at home!" Sun Jing said aggrievedly.

Listening to the conversation between Sun Xiangfu and his son, Yu Xiu'er immediately rolled her eyes and said angrily, "These children are all spoiled by you."

"Uh, I do have a lot of responsibilities. Well, Jing'er! You are a young man in your teens, and your mother married your father and me when you were this age. Can we play a little better? If something with technical content is stolen and eaten, if this spreads, it will be too bad!"

Sun Xiangfu was here to persuade the fight, and it would be bad to put himself in it. Every time Yu Xiuer got angry, he could quickly react, admit his mistake and apologize, and then pretended to accuse the children.

But, in your heart!He couldn't bear to see the pitiful appearance of the children. He had done a lot of similar things when he was young!

When he was a child, even though he had grown sweet potatoes in his own field, he often stole sweet potatoes from other people's fields to bake, because he thought it would be more delicious to steal them from other people's homes.

It's just that the two sisters, Sun Jing and Sun Wanting, have been together for a long time. They are both fourteen or five years old.

When their family was still discussing this matter clearly in the living room, they didn't want to bring a basket of red dates to the courtyard of the Sun Mansion personally, carrying a basket of red dates.

When Sun Xiangfu got the notification, he naturally got up and went out to greet him, "The children are so offended, I haven't come to your house to plead guilty yet! Why do you bother you to bring the food over in person? I'm really sorry, please come in quickly, De Uncle, have someone bring some good tea to the study."

"Okay!" Uncle De took the jujube that Sun Xiangfu took from Wang Deyong, turned around and went into the house to make arrangements.

Wang Deyong followed Sun Xiangfu to the study in the house, glanced at the children in the living room, and said, "Master Sun doesn't need to worry, my house is usually deserted, and some children go to make a fuss, but instead it is lively. It’s too late for me to like it! A few dates are nothing, they don’t pick them and eat them, it’s also cheaper for those sparrows and ants.”

Yu Xiu'er in the living room also heard Wang Deyong's words, and she came forward and said politely, "It's good that you don't blame me. Stay here for dinner tonight! I heard that you are going to apply for retirement. The house was specially given to you by His Majesty!"

While Yu Xiuer was talking to Wang Deyong, Sun Xiangfu took the opportunity to wave to the children, and the little ones immediately dispersed.

Here, Wang Deyong nodded and replied, "Yes! Next year, that little girl from the Wu family will be able to take over from me."

"Little girl from the Wu family?"

Sun Xiangfu's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, could it be that Wu Meiniang is still in the palace?
