Datang New Giants

Chapter 118

When Shen Shi's drum sounded, Lu Ting also finished his first day on duty, and went home with Fu Zhi who had been waiting in the side room.

In the time of later generations, Shen Shi is equivalent to three o'clock in the afternoon, and work will be off at three o'clock. Go home before the Jingjie drum sounds.

However, Dianmao is also very early in the Tang Dynasty, when the sun comes out, it will be on duty. Maoshi is equivalent to [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the morning. Dianmao means roll call at Mao, to see if the government officials are late, usually around [-]:[-] in the morning , Calculated to work about eight hours a day, which is similar to that of later generations.

"My lord, go home now?" Fuzhi asked after Lu Ting sat down.

It's still early for dark.

Lu Ting nodded: "Go back."

After moving to Chongyifang, Lu Ting was also free. Before taking up the post in Wuyitang, he had traveled around Chang'an, especially in the eastern and western cities. Everyone makes a plan, not only to make some achievements in Wuyitang, but also to solve their own worries.

In a word, I donated all my monthly money. Living in Chang'an City, I need money for everything, including Fu Zhi and Ma. Seeing that the money on his body is getting less and less, Lu Ting also became anxious.

It's still very early now, and there are many interesting places in Chang'an City, but they have to spend money to play, so it's better to go home.

On the carriage, Lu Ting began to think about how to make money.

Zhang Heng expressed his support for self-reliance. Now that he has manpower and capital, it is estimated that the problem is not too big. Now he has to think about what to do.

Liquor and perfume seem to be unrealistic. The government can turn a blind eye to some self-brewed wine. If it is sold in large quantities, it must obtain permission from the government. Now that there are wars every year, food is not urgent, but there is no surplus. Permission is difficult; as for perfume, it is winter, not to mention flowers, even leaves are rare.

Iron pots seem to be very popular, but unfortunately there were no such protection measures as copyright in ancient times. After visiting Cheng Mansion, many people went back to find a blacksmith to make them. Two days ago, they found someone selling them in Dongshi. It is estimated that it will be difficult to compete.

Among other things, iron is a scarce resource, and I am not sure how to get it.

Sell ​​Tang dishes?Forget it, it’s all said to Xiaoqiao’s servant girl, it’s not good to say what he says, and besides, Tangpan is still a very small and well-known thing, even if it is made, it probably won’t sell much.

It is difficult to find raw materials for papermaking in winter.

Just when Lu Ting was in a dilemma, the carriage stopped slowly and arrived home.

"Young master, the eldest grandson and the others are here."

Lu Ting got out of the car and took a look, only to see Zhang Sun Chong and his party of four running from a distance on horseback, followed by a group of guards.

Fresh clothes and angry horses, front and back hugs, rich clothes and fine food every day, don't have to worry about three meals a day, do whatever you want, go wherever you want, you can dream of your own knight-errant without any worries, this is The daily life of the rich and noble son of Chang'an City.

Lu Ting admitted that he was a little envious.

"Hey, Master Lu is back, congratulations." Chang Sun Chong was the first to arrive, and joked before dismounting.

Cheng Chuliang also laughed: "Brother Lu Ting, you have been promoted, and you will go home alone, so you don't know if you will meet us."

"Yes, it's amazing to work in the Qin Palace as soon as you become an official."

"Look at what we brought, it's all for you to celebrate." Hou Mingyuan and Du He also said with smiles on their faces.

Today is Lu Ting's first day at Fengwang Mansion. The four of them discussed it and decided to celebrate Lu Ting. Chang Sun Chong knew that Lu Ting's economy was not very good, so he didn't go out to celebrate, so he bought some Come to Lu Ting to drink with food and wine.

The relationship was good before, but Lu Ting set up a trick to trick Yin Shiju, and after Du He let out a bad breath, the four of them regarded Lu Ting as one of their own. Let it go to Lu Ting.

Living in such a small house without even a maid, how could it be better.

"It's just a small principal, so it's not worth celebrating, my good brother, I've made you spend money." Lu Ting said with some emotion.

When I was with them, Lu Ting also had speculative ideas. In fact, it was because of Cheng Chuliang's relationship that he was able to meet Cheng Yaojin, and successfully contacted Li Er through Cheng Yaojin's line, but Da Changjin and the others were true to him. good.

Lu Ting never dreamed that the people who celebrated his stepping into an official career turned out to be a few young children.

"No matter what, we are all good brothers, so there is no need to say more polite words." Chang Sun Chong said with a proud face.

Cheng Chuliang chuckled, and said triumphantly: "Going to other places, Aye may not agree, but every time I ask Brother Lu Ting, Aye agrees without even thinking about it. Brother Lu Ting, you are really my savior."

"Me too, Aye." Du He said with a smile on his face, "As long as you go to Brother Lu Ting, Aye won't stop you when you go out."

Lu Ting accidentally saw a deep tooth mark on Du He's wrist and the wound on his body, so he couldn't help asking: "Brother Du, what happened to your hands? It wasn't because you were too aggressive when drinking flower wine, and you messed with me." Are you angry with those little girls?"

Du He rubbed the tooth marks on his wrist, and said with a depressed face: "Yin Shiju, that farm slave, brought the Golden Retriever and his gang to make trouble early on. They insisted on a fight, and Da Changjin and the Golden Retriever did it again. In the first fight, that Yin Shiju seemed to be crazy, and he fought desperately, but he was lucky, he opened his mouth even if he couldn't win, he was like a mad dog."

In previous fights, Yin Shiju played very insignificant fights, mostly wandering and sneak attacks. This morning, the Dachang Jin Ranger Team and the Golden Mouse fought at the Golden Light Outer Gate. Yin Shiju changed his previous timid attitude and rushed forward It seemed that he was desperately fighting with Du He, which once made Du He a little embarrassed.

At this time, the wind and snow were getting heavier, Lu Ting quickly invited the four of them in to warm up the house.

Changsun Chong said: "The emperor held a banquet in the imperial city in the third year of junior high school. There were many strange people and strange people performing at the banquet. One of them was to take things out of a frying pan. The one surnamed Yin still has a bit of a brain. If he guesses correctly, he knows his be cheated."

On the day of the banquet, Changsun Chong also went in with Changsun Wuji to watch the excitement, and he felt bad after seeing the performance of fetching things from the oil pan. Judging from Yin Shiju's abnormal situation, it was almost the same.

So many juggling, why choose oil to extract it.

Du He said disapprovingly: "So what if he knows, he doesn't have evidence in hand, so how can he be afraid of his failure?"

After a beating, it can only be said to calm down, and Du He has never let go of this grudge.

Chang Sun Chong persuaded from the side: "During the fight, Xue Yang, Zhang Lang, and Yu Wenying all behaved normally, but Yin Shiju was the most abnormal, and Tian Shenu had the best face, probably even if he knew he was fooled, he would not tell Xue Yang and them on behalf of them. But everyone has to be careful recently, and Brother Lu Ting is the same."

The entire city of Chang'an knew that Lu Ting was close to the Dachang Jin Ranger Team, and with Yin Shiju's clumsy personality, he might target Lu Ting, who had the least background.

Uncle Du was beaten by Yin Shiju, because Yin Shiju was in a bad mood and vented his anger with Du He on Uncle Du.

Lu Ting nodded quickly, expressing that he would be careful.

The Jingzhao Mansion didn't dare to take care of it, and the newly appointed Minister of the Household Department didn't take it seriously. Although Lu Ting entered the Qin Palace, he was still a small person in Yin Shiju's eyes.

"Okay, don't just stand there, take out everything, it's interesting to chat while eating." Hou Mingliang urged while opening the food box he brought.

This time I bought a lot of delicious food, and Cheng Chuliang also brought a few stir-fried vegetables from the house, which made me hungry for a long time.

Changsun Chong, Du He, and Cheng Chuliang also opened the food boxes one after another. Soon, the tables in the hall were filled with food and wine, including roast chicken, steamed fish, venison, jushengnu, grilled lamb chops and other delicacies. I saw it all drooling.

Lu Ting said with some regret: "The brothers spent a lot of money, I should have invited you."

"Brother has said both words, so the polite words will be avoided." Du Home said immediately.

Hou Mingyuan echoed: "That's right, the relationship is so good, no matter how polite you are, you will be born."

Lu Ting chuckled, and quickly greeted them for drinks and food.

After drinking and tasting five times, the food is about the same, and the atmosphere is more harmonious, Hou Chuliang suddenly said curiously: "Brother Lu Ting, Qin Palace has a lot of errands, why did you choose Wuyitang?"

Lu Ting said casually: "There are many heroes in there. I admire them very much. It's not bad to take care of them. Besides, it's very leisurely to do things in Wuyitang."

Cheng Chuliang said with some disapproval: "Either there will be no accidents in Wuyitang, and if any accidents happen, it is not a trivial matter."

"Oh, Brother Chu Liang, why do you say that?" Lu Ting asked in surprise.

It's not long since I went to Wuyitang for the first time. Lu Ting felt that he still didn't know enough about it. Generals like Cheng Chuliang must know a lot. It's good to listen to him.

Cheng Chuliang nodded and said: "There is Zhang Heng sitting in Wuyitang, and everyone inside obeys him. As long as he is there, many things can't be troubled by. Brother Lu Ting must be careful when doing things in Wuyitang. I listen to Aye. As I said, there are quite a few people in Wuyitang. After retiring from the battlefield, their temperaments have changed drastically, and sometimes they become unreasonable. A group of people always feel that they have made great contributions and always want a lot. Once the prince went to visit them , and some people asked the prince to be an official, and rewarded the beauties with money, which embarrassed the prince for a while."

Speaking of this, Cheng Chuliang deliberately said mysteriously: "Brothers Lu Ting, you went to Wuyitang, did you not see the maids and servants?"

"No, why?"

Zhang Heng spoke vaguely about this matter, and Lu Ting couldn't ask in detail. Hearing Cheng Chuliang's words, it seemed that there was something else going on.

"Those old bastards usually beat and kick the handymen, because they have sacrificed their lives for the Tang Dynasty and the prince, forget it, there is a guy who was a school captain who was obsessed with sex, and asked a few people to take care of him. Those maidservants dragged them to the grove behind the Qinglong Temple, causing disaster. A monk accidentally found him and wiped the monk's neck on the spot. Since then, Wuyitang has no maidservants."

Lu Ting asked in surprise, "Where are those who committed crimes?"

Cheng Chuliang lowered his voice and said: "Buried on the mass grave outside Yanxing Gate, the grass on the grave is two feet high. Zhang Heng executed it himself. His lord ordered it to be sealed. Not many people know about it. Aye once drank too much. I just found out about it by accident.”
