Cub Nursery

The iron donkeys in Honglu Temple are not sold, but given away.

Pei Yu'er, Wang Zhen'er, the little brothers who have won the iron donkey, can't wait to ride the iron donkey outside day and night.

Those who set up stalls, wandered around, listened to books in teahouses, and drank in restaurants, almost every day could see Wang Zhener and Pei Yuer leading the way, galloping down the street with a group of very good-looking brothers.

The donkey looks extremely heavy, but it runs fast and very stable. If it sees someone in front of it that cannot be avoided, it will slam on the brakes and make a crisp bird-like sound.

"Be more careful next time." The little brother avoided people, said a few words, and hurriedly chased Pei Yu'er and the others ahead.

The capital city is so big that it takes a long time to ride a horse. These little guys don't feel too tired riding an iron donkey, and they shuttle through it every day.

Because the iron donkey ran silently, and often got too close to be watched by others, and it was difficult to avoid it, so Yan Xun thought of a way.The little buddies who got the iron donkey all came to Honglu Temple on the iron donkey, and they stopped in the yard, which was very spectacular.

"They're all here?" Yan Xun came out to take a look around, the boys were all very good-looking.

"There's one more." Pei Yu'er turned her head and counted around, then smiled at Yan Xun and said, "My lord, Yang Qiong is waiting outside on an iron donkey."

Wang Zhen'er and Pei Yu'er clearly remembered the family with the iron donkey, this time Yan Xun called them to come to Honglu Temple, it was also led by these two little brothers, and they also specially notified Yang Qiong and Qin Shisan.

Yang Qiong's iron donkey was snatched from Honglu Temple by Yang Shuning. Although he liked riding it very much, he always felt ashamed when he entered Honglu Temple, so he squatted at the gate and refused to come in.

"Leave him alone then." Yan Xun turned his head and nodded towards the cubs in the room.

The little cubs who had been prepared for a long time ran out quickly, two by two, and ran to the front of the donkey.

The flower tree cub is holding a round iron piece like a hat, and there are two pieces of wood underneath, which can be tightly fixed on the handlebar. There is a pleasant sound of jingling bells.

"Sound!" Wang Zhen'er was very curious, leaned over to have a look, and played like a little cub, and immediately a series of voices floated out, and she said happily, "It's good to remind you when you see someone like this, You still have to yell!"

"When riding a bicycle with one hand... like this..." The black and white cub stood on his feet, holding the handlebar with one hand, and dialed the bell with his thumb.

Wang Zhen'er learned it immediately, and thanked the black and white cubs and flower tree cubs with a smile.

The two cubs nodded seriously, and said in unison, "My lord said, if your iron donkey breaks down, you can come and fix it anytime, no money is required, it's called warranty."

Carefully smacking the word 'warranty', Wang Zhen'er said, "Interesting, it's really interesting."

Putting on the bells, the little buddies came out in a file, and specially played with the bells at Yang Qiong outside. Accompanied by the clear and crisp sound of a string of bells, the little buddies rode on the iron donkey and ran away like flying.

Yang Qiong looked at his iron donkey, there was no sounding thing, his face was dark, but he dared not leave, Yang Shuning must let him come, isn't it embarrassing.

The father didn't want to lose face, so he let the son come.

"What? Not happy?" Yan Xun came out, holding a bell in his hand.

"Hmph." Yang Qiong grimaced.

The black and white cubs hurriedly helped to press the bell, and with a light flick, there was a crisp sound, just like the iron donkeys of the little brothers.Seeing that Yang Qiong was still dark-faced, the black and white cub hurriedly hid behind Yan Xun, pulled Yan Xun's clothes and looked at Yang Qiong with one eye.

"Don't be angry." Yan Xun suddenly squatted down and said in a low voice, "You are General Yang's son, so you should know that you should not be kind to monsters at any time." A little black and blue, obviously very upset because he had to ride an iron donkey to Honglu Temple.

Yan Xun was a little helpless, so he called out: "I know you are kind, but the man in the palace doesn't want you to be kind, do you understand?"

Yang Qiong was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized.

Seeing Yang Qiong like this, Yan Xun breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly fell to the ground, his face became ugly, of course he was pretending, but his voice was still very low, "Come to Honglu Temple to change the bell and even offended Honglu Temple." Shaoqing, you are really courageous. The bell can be removed, and it can be removed when it is not in use."

Yang Qiong's complexion changed again, she took a deep look at Yan Xun, stood up abruptly, and said in a very low voice, "Thank you for your advice, sir." Immediately with a stinky face, she rode on the donkey and ran along the road ringing. up.

"My lord." The black and white cub hurriedly helped Yan Xun up.

After entering the carriage, the little cub sat beside him obediently, with his hands on his knees, clenched his fists, and secretly looked at Yan Xun several times.

"You don't understand why I did that just now, do you?" Yan Xun patted the little cub's head.

The black and white cub hurriedly nodded heavily.

"Because our Honghe Temple is developing well, there are a big box of money, and two workshops." Yan Xun said slowly, telling the people he knew in Honghe Temple, Zhou Guang, Qin Shisan , and Wang Zhener and other little brothers, these individuals add up to great power, not to mention endless money.

Zhou Guang spoke for Yan Xun many times, and he gained a place in the court.

Not only that, since the stone building of Honglu Temple became famous, many people know that the soap is made by the Conservation Hall, as are the cement boards used for the Kang Kang.

In this way, Yan Xun can basically do whatever he wants, and there is almost no one to stop him.But what would it look like in the eyes of the emperor?

"Emperor art is about checks and balances." Yan Xun said in a low voice.

The black and white cub rested his chin in his hands, thinking it over, "Is General Yang checking and balancing us?"

"En. If there is no General Yang, the emperor will definitely find someone else. General Yang is a smart person, and he has already seen through this point, so even if he approves of us in his heart, he will have to blow his beard and stare." Yan Xun smiled. He said, "Although we are not afraid of General Yang, every time we see him, we still have to be very afraid."

The little cub thought about Yang Qiong's intentionally black face, and hurriedly drew inferences, "My lord, then we have to be very 'scared'."

"Yes." Yan Xun smiled and patted the black and white cub's hairy head.

The cubs are ignorant of everything, Yan Xun wants them to gradually understand the human relationship outside, and learn how to deal with these relationships by the way.

Over there, Yang Qiong rode an iron donkey directly to the Imperial College, recruited his own friends, and showed off the iron donkey.

"Young Master Yang, did you really snatch this iron donkey?" A young master from a small family flattered him and deliberately asked in front of everyone.

Yang Qiong snorted and said: "That's natural. My Yang family has been killing demons for generations. Although the cubs in Honglu Temple can't be killed, don't try to make me look good. Did you see this bell? I asked the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple to put it on, and I even pushed him. Did you hear that the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple came out and said? He came out to complain?"

We all know that Yan Xun often goes to the cabinet scholar, Zhou Guang's mansion, and Zhou Guang is even called brother and brother.The complaint Yang Qiong mentioned was that Yan Xun asked Zhou Guang to file a complaint.

If he really filed a complaint, he would definitely hear the movement outside.

But at this moment there was no movement at all, and these people thought that Shaoqing of Honglu Temple had swallowed this breath.

Not only that, Yan Xun also took the time to mention something to Du Qinsheng.

The next day it was rumored that Yang Shuning's son, Yang Qiong, did not like the Honglu Temple, so he went to find the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple to help him.Let Du Xuanfeng tell the emperor about this matter, and what he said was just embellishment.

The commotion in Honglu Temple was so big that the emperor had long been worried, but because those things were extremely important, he couldn't say anything.Hearing that General Yang and Yan Xun were at odds, and Yan Xun was still at Yang Qiong's place, he felt extremely happy in his heart, and even praised Yan Xun a little.

Yan Xun led the black and white cubs back to the household department, just got off the carriage, Shi Yuanshou was already waiting at the door.

"My lord, be careful of the steps." Shi Yuanshou had a big change compared to his attitude last time. He not only waited at the gate of the yamen earlier, but also walked beside him attentively to lead the way.

Not only that, but the warehouse was also cleaned, and some old accounts were neatly placed.

"Thank you." Yan Xun thanked the black and white cubs.

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it. The adults can order the villains casually..." Shi Yuanshou said hastily.

Yan Xun nodded, and took the black and white cubs into the warehouse to look at the ledgers, make new ledgers, and check the accounts.

At the beginning, Yan Xun asked Qin Shisan to come to the account department by himself, because he wanted him to help the account department and clean up the old account books. Later, he asked Qin Shisan to learn new accounting methods from the old accountant. Everything will change, and now it seems that there is no change at all.

"My lord." Shi Yuanshou specially boiled hot water and brought it over, and even burned his fingers, but he didn't complain at all.

Yan Xun was looking at the account book without looking up.

The black and white cub hurried over, took the hot water, and said crisply, "Thank you."

There is no charcoal basin in the storeroom, and the wind is blowing, which makes it a bit cold.The black and white cubs still wore hats and gloves, only showing their round faces.

Shi Yuanshou looked at the big dark circles on the little cub's face, subconsciously nodded, and the hot water in his hand was taken away.

The little cub walked aside, took out a wooden bowl as if by magic, put a very bright flower in it, put some honey, then poured hot water, and the sweet fragrance immediately wafted out.

"My lord, drink some hot water." The black and white cub handed the wooden bowl to Yan Xun.

Yan Xun concentrated on reading the account book, the little cub poured hot water and also read the account book, very fast.

Someone from the household department had been staring at Yan Xun's side for a long time. The first day, Shi Yuanshou didn't want to see Yan Xun, and Yan Xun left quickly, and many people were waiting for Yan Xun to come back to see the excitement.

As a result, Shi Yuanshou seemed to be a different person this time, serving Yan Xun everywhere, doing all the work of the servants and subordinates, as if he was afraid that Yan Xun would be unhappy.

Many people didn't like Shi Yuanshou, and when they had dinner at noon, they ignored Shi Yuanshou, let alone Yan Xun, and prepared to watch the excitement.

Others either brought their own food, or the family servants came to deliver the food.There was no Yan Xun at Honglu Temple, and the cubs couldn't come out casually, let alone Jing Fengye, so no one came to deliver food.

"My lord, how about..." Shi Yuanshou turned around anxiously, he brought food from home, but if it was for Yan Xun, Yan Xun wondered if he would take it.

"It's time to eat." Yan Xun said with a smile.

He was naturally prepared.

He opened the wooden box he brought, and took out a thin iron pot. The bone soup he had been cooking since yesterday, using beef bones, had been boiled all night. The soup was thick and white, and there were many vegetables and vegetables in the wooden box. With chilled thin slices of meat.

"Please go get some charcoal." Yan Xun smiled.

"Okay!" Shi Yuanshou also saw those raw vegetables and sliced ​​meat, and was very puzzled, wondering if Yan Xun still wanted to cook.

Soon the charcoal came and it was still lit, Yan Xun put the iron pot on it, and after a while the soup boiled, he invited Shi Yuanshou to sit down together, and gave him a pair of chopsticks and a wooden plate.

I can't see what's in the wooden tray, it's red and fragrant, and it makes my index finger move when I smell it.

Shi Yuanshou carefully watched Yan Xun put the meat slices into the soup, rolled them, took them out, rolled them on a wooden plate, and put them in his mouth.Needless to say, Shi Yuanshou knew it was delicious just by smelling it, and Shi Yuanshou was not surprised, he rolled the meat slices just like that, his eyes lit up immediately, he had never tasted such delicious food.

The tofu is known as the three-day delicacy. This seemingly simple sliced ​​meat is actually delicious, and the green vegetables are extremely delicious when rolled, which is not inferior to the delicacy of the three-day delicacy.

Those who were going to watch Yan Xun's jokes suddenly smelled an incomparably delicious smell, couldn't help but took a look, and saw Yan Xun and Shi Yuanshou eating and looking at the unsurprising green vegetables and sliced ​​meat, But the smell made them look at their food and feel dull.

After the green vegetables and sliced ​​meat were finished, Yan Xun took out the hand-rolled noodles again. He used semolina flour, but it was very hard to knead, and it tasted very chewy.

Shi Yuanshou originally thought that he was full, but unexpectedly he ate a lot of noodles.

For three consecutive days, Yan Xun ate the iron pot in the household department, and finally someone couldn't help it, and went to ask Shi Yuanshou in private.

"My lord has already said that if you want to, you have to bring your own vegetables and meat. The thinner the meat, the better." Shi Yuanshou thought about Yan Xun's advice, and hurriedly said.

The next day, everyone who worked in the household department told their families that they would not bring rice, but vegetables and raw meat.

Many people don't understand, is something wrong with the household department?After asking, I realized that it turned out that I wanted to eat fresh food.

When it was time to eat, Yan Xun led Jing Fengye, who had turned into a cub, to deliver the iron pot, soup base, and dipping ingredients one by one.If you are willing to eat with others, you can use the same pot; if you don’t, you can use the same pot by yourself.

On this day, there was a fresh and unbearable fragrance in the entire yamen of the household department, and everyone who passed by the yamen could smell it.

In cold weather, even if there is a charcoal basin, it is not as warm as eating a warm meal. These are freshly cooked meat and vegetables, which are much warmer than eating with rice.

Everyone has eaten Yan Xun's food, now there is no embarrassment for him, and the account book is getting smoother.

After finally reading the account book, Yan Xun adopted a new accounting method.

"My lord, some of the accounts are not correct." Jing Fengye has a vivid memory, writing the accounts is much faster than Yan Xun, and soon found the problem.

"I'll ask." Yan Xun said calmly.

This question is indeed asking something wrong.

Back then, when Dao soldiers were not high and not strong, Daqin almost wiped out his entire army every time he faced a monster invasion, and those who survived by luck and came back would be great heroes who shocked the world, and the emperor personally conferred the title , enjoy wealth and glory.

After so many years, the heroes of the past are long gone, and the younger generations are quite arrogant.

Yan Xun went out for a trip and brought back a stack of IOUs. In this way, the accounts were correct.

"My lord." Jing Fengye recorded the IOU in the account book, and suddenly said, "This is..."

The sum of these silver coins is a huge amount that is unimaginable, but if Honglu Temple takes out all the silver coins, plus the cement and soap prescriptions, it will be able to make up for seventy-seven eighty-eight.

Why did the emperor ask Yan Xun to come to the household department?

Qin Shisan got close to Yan Xun and had already come to the household department. It stands to reason that Yan Xun should go to another yamen to take up a job.

Yan Xun now knows why.

Honglu Temple's money is earned too easily and quickly, and it will continue to make money in the future. In the long run, it will be an astonishing wealth.

"Well, it's okay, let's figure out a solution together." Yan Xun said calmly.

The money was earned by Yan Xun and the cubs, so it is not impossible to ask him to take it out, after all, Honglu Temple has never been short of money, and at present, the money is just a number on the account book.

But let Yan Xun take money like this, he is not willing.

"My lord, it's only natural to pay back the debts. Why can these people not pay back the money? Or do they owe money to the Yamen?" Jing Fengye said seriously with a chubby face.

Repaying debts is a matter of course, this was taught by Yan Xun.

"Because people's hearts are the most complicated." Yan Xun said lightly, "For example, if I borrowed you a large sum of money, would you let me pay it back?"

Jing Fengye shook his head lightly, "Everything I have belongs to adults, no need to borrow, no need to pay back." Including himself.

"Look, that's what you think now." Yan Xun pinched Xia Jingfengye's cheeks. When he grew up, his cheeks didn't have much flesh, and his body was hard, but after being sealed, his body was soft, " When we are gone in the future, will our children and friends feel that the money does not need to be repaid?"

"My lord, no, I like my lord and I don't want to have other people's children..." Jing Fengye whispered.

It happened that Shi Yuanshou led several people over at this time, Yan Xun hurried over, but did not hear what Jing Fengye said.

Watching Yan Xun walk away, Jing Fengye heaved a sigh of relief, he was afraid that he thought too much and Yan Xun would hate him because of it.

The people who came were willing to follow Yan Xun to learn how to keep accounts, and Yan Xun didn't keep it private, including his own experience and tricks. If these people can learn well, they won't need Yan Xun in the future.

Seeing that Yan Xun taught them sincerely, these people also learned very hard.

After teaching these people, Yan Xun stopped coming to the yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs and became free again.

But he hadn't forgotten about the IOU, and I'm afraid the emperor didn't expect it either, and was waiting to see how he would choose.

At night, an oil lamp was lit on the kang, and a glass cover made of black and white cubs was placed on the outside. The iron pan on the table was clearly illuminated, and the pieces of meat rolling inside could be seen at a glance.

The cubs scooped up slices of meat with their special long chopsticks, while discussing the issue of IOUs.

"They don't want to pay back the money. What's the reason?" The flower tree cub spoke first.

"My lord said, because the money was owed by the ancestors, the former emperor said that he was not in a hurry to pay it back..."

"Because the ancestors worked hard and made great achievements, the descendants owed money and had the protection of the ancestors. Now that the protection of the ancestors is no longer available, they have to pay back the money."

"Separate the glory and the money and you'll be fine." Bouncing Cub said suddenly.
