Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

It just so happens that there is an old lady and a younger sister in Gouzi's family, and they recruited them together. Doesn't that mean there are people who cook, do laundry, and clean?

And usually he was too lazy to cook by himself, now someone finally did it.

Although Zhang Nuo was a restaurant owner and a chef, in fact, the profession of cooking is purely a craft for making a living, and there are not many people who like to go to the kitchen to smell of oily smoke and still enjoy it.

Isn't it a good day when clothes come to stretch out one's hands and rice comes to open one's mouth?

Thinking of the wonderful life in the future, Zhang Nuo was completely beautiful, and said with a smile,

"The wages are okay. How about this? My surname is also Zhang. We met by fate. You go and call your mother and sister over. I just happen to be short of a cook and waitress here. Take it all!"

Gouzi was completely happy. He never thought that not only could he find the master’s house today, but his mother and younger sister could also find jobs. It was an eye-opener.

Gouzi quickly thanked Zhang Nuo, and then hurried home.

He wasn't worried at all that Zhang Nuo looked down on his mother and sister, not to mention that his mother was a virtuous and diligent person, and even his sister was also nimble and beautiful. up.

But as long as he works in Langjun's mansion for a year or two, maybe his sister can become a big beauty in vain and plump?At that time, maybe if you are attracted by the gentleman, you can be a concubine or something, then his family will be very happy.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Gouzi seems to be on fire at the moment, and he goes straight home without taking a breath.

When I ran to the house, my mother and sister just came in after finishing their work at someone else's house. Gouzi was out of breath and said,

"Mother, little sister, hurry up and change into clean clothes. I found a good job for the whole family. Mr. Lang is still waiting at the mansion right now. Let's pack up quickly."

After that, without waiting for my mother and sister to ask questions, I hurriedly recounted today's events roughly, emphasizing Zhang Nuo's generous spending, benevolence, and so on.

After hearing this, Gouziniang was also very happy. While thanking God for his blessing, she hurriedly dragged the little girl into the house to change clothes.

It didn't take long for Gouzi Niang and Xiaomei to come out with a whole new look.

Although the clothes on her body were old, they were washed very cleanly, and her hair was combed again, neatly tied into a bun.

After tidying up, Gouzi's family of three came to Zhang Nuo in a hurry.

When Zhang Nuo saw this family of three, his first impression was very good. Everyone loves beauty. For the same price, Zhang Nuo would naturally be willing to hire a few who are pleasing to the eye.

Although Gouzi's mother and younger sister are not great beauties, at least they are clean and pleasing to the eye, especially his younger sister, who has big eyes and a sharp chin. She may not be considered a great beauty in Tang Dynasty, but she will definitely be beautiful in future generations. Proper beauty embryo.

After asking some more questions and trying Er Niang's craft, Zhang Nuo successfully signed the contract for all three members of the family at the price of including food and lodging plus [-] Wen-months. down.

It's pitiful to say, Erniang and younger sister together only have [-] Wen a month, but Gouzi alone already has [-] Wen a month.

But who made Gouzi do more work? From now on, the purchase, transportation, cleaning of the front hall, serving dishes and even guarding the courtyard in the store are all his business alone.

A group of four went to the dental office to sign a contract, and then Gouzi's family went home happily to pack their luggage with the usual money given by Zhang Nuogang.

As for Zhang Nuo, he returned home calmly. Although he spent several pennies a day today, his good life is about to begin.

Chapter 12 The treasury is out of money

In the Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin, who had finished his official duties, was about to stroll over to the Empress Changsun to have a look. The imperial physician was examining the Empress' body, but he didn't know the result.

But just as he was about to leave, the servant came over and reported that Sun Wuji, Duke of Qi, had asked to see him, so Li Shimin could only sit back.

The purpose of Changsun Wuji's private meeting this time is to talk to Li Shimin about money.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji at this time was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, in fact, the top figures in the court knew that after the elder Sun Wuji had to worship the minister and the right servant, it was a real one person under ten thousand. The prime minister above people.

In addition, he is the uncle of the country and is a commoner acquaintance with Li Shimin, so it is inevitable that the eldest grandson Wuji not only has to take care of his own bureaucracy, but also has to worry about other departments.

This time, it was all about money, because the treasury ran out of money.

Not to mention being blackmailed by Jieli this year, Li Shimin has an ambitious plan to build water conservancy and open up farmland everywhere. At the same time, he has to organize his armaments.

This sum of money is everywhere, Dai Zhou, Minister of the Household Department, is buzzing every day.

When Li Shimin heard his eldest grandson Wuji complain that the treasury had no money, he also had a headache.

The national treasury at this time is not like later generations. There are various sources of income. At this time, there are only two sources of income.

One is taxation, which constitutes the bulk of the country’s fiscal revenue. At this time, the Tang Dynasty implemented the land equalization system and the rent adjustment system, and the burden on farmers was not large. Moreover, there was no salt tax and tea tax at this time, and alcohol was prohibited. Happy, but the treasury is nervous.

Another source of income is official sales. Salt and iron are sold by officials. These things that are closely related to life are not only strategic materials, but also a large amount of income.

But neither of these two can make a fortune right away, unless Li Shimin is willing to increase taxes, but this is not even mentioned for Li Shimin who pays special attention to people's livelihood.

After much deliberation, he couldn't think of any good solution, so Li Shimin simply took Changsun Wuji to visit his Guanyin maidservant.

But hearing that Empress Changsun had a hidden illness, Changsun Wuji almost jumped up from the chair, and now he couldn't care about the courtesy of the emperor and ministers, so he hurriedly asked about the specific situation.

So while walking, Li Shimin told about the fact that he took the eldest grandson empress to Zhang Nuo's shop for dinner, and Zhang Nuo saw the hidden illness.

And thinking that Changsun Wuji also knew Zhang Nuo's father, he specifically explained Zhang Nuo's identity and introduced Zhang Nuo's answer in detail.

When Changsun Wuji heard that his sister was not in an emergency, his heart was more than half relieved, and then he heard the news of the son of the old man, and he was also very emotional.

However, Changsun Wuji was a little bit disapproving of Zhang Nuo's miraculousness in Li Shimin's mouth. After all, he was just pointing out the country.

Li Shimin saw that it didn't matter if Changsun Wuji didn't quite believe it, so he turned and said,

"Auxiliary machine (named by Changsun Wuji), after tomorrow's court, you change your clothes and go over with me to have a look. Don't say anything else, the craftsmanship of the shopkeeper Zhang alone is definitely worth a try. I will never forget it, but Don't reveal your identity."

The eldest grandson Wuji had nothing to do, so he happened to go to see how the son of an old friend who was praised by Li Shimin was doing.

If he is really a pillar of talent as Li Shimin said, then he must recruit some people. The shortage of people under his command is very serious.

The two monarchs and ministers came to the harem where the queen was, and happened to meet the imperial physician who was talking to the eldest grandson empress after the examination.
