Tang's dining table

Ms. Cui returned to Jinchangfang with fifty-two women. She did not immediately arrange for these women to enter the Yun family mansion, but placed them in the staff dormitory behind the cafeteria.

After hearing Cui's report, Yu Xiurong pondered for a long time and then said to Cui Yao: "How to resolve it? Now I even begin to suspect that there are spies who have infiltrated into the family."

Cui Yao said: "It's not difficult to find spies among the 286 servants of the Yun family."

Yu Xiurong said: "Then I'll leave it to you."

Cui Yao nodded and said, "So what if we find out?"

Yu Xiurong said: "Just return it to his owner's house."

Yu Xiurong looked at Chunyu again and said, "How to select the good among the new servants?"

Chunyu said: "Just choose from those with low status and simple appearance."

Yu Xiurong asked: "What's the explanation?"

Chunyu said: "Lust is a common human nature, and it does not distinguish between men and women. A servant who is good-looking and good at observing people's emotions can easily stand out from the crowd of servants and be valued by the master. Only such a spy has value. If he is a spy all his life, What's the use of a spy who can't even enter the master's house?"

Mrs. Cui smiled and said to Yu Xiurong, "Ms. Chu thought the master was a good old woman, and she said so twice."

When Yu Xiurong heard this, he nodded and said: "This is what the common people in the countryside say, and it is not trustworthy. However, since the female official of Chu said this, more palace girls are used in the family."

Chunyu said: "I am guarding the entrance gate."

Yu Xiurong smiled and said: "That's safe. If Mrs. Chunyu finds anything, you might as well let her in."

Cui Yao nodded and said: "The back house is quite boring. A few more spies can pass the time."

Yu Xiurong didn't mention this matter to Yun Chu. It was a matter for the back house. Yu Xiurong believed that he had the ability to control the situation in the back house.

In fact, even if he told Yunchu, Yunchu would not pay attention. The water in Yun's inner house was very deep, even deeper than the water in the Wannian County government office he controlled.

Wen Wen once said that the Yun family's inner residence was originally the famous Longtan and Tiger's Den in Chang'an.

If Wu Mei wanted to use the Yun family's back house as a breakthrough point, she was obviously wrong.

Zhong Kui left with 5,000 naked Japanese slaves and 500 warriors from Chang'an Township who were interested in making money elsewhere. They were traveling in simple vehicles. Food, tents, tools, etc. would be supplied in Jincheng County.

Zhong Kui insisted on living a life of a shepherd in Qinghaitou, which required all people to get used to living on dairy products, meat, and the countless scaleless fish in Qinghai.

Only if it becomes a salt mining team that can rely on local resources to survive will it be meaningful to Chang'an. Otherwise, the huge logistical pressure alone will be enough to swallow up the benefits of salt transportation.

Yun Chu had always felt that Zhong Kui was the real number one scholar. Unfortunately, God gave him a beautiful brain but not a slightly better body.

Back then, if his appearance hadn't been so ugly that it frightened Li Zhi, his talent wouldn't have been buried.

The Japanese slaves saw Zhong Kui, who was nine feet tall and ugly, as if they were seeing a god.

In Yun Chu's eyes as he bid farewell, Zhong Kui was like a giant leading a group of dwarfs to open up the wilderness.

Watching Zhong Kui disappear on the Xianyang Bridge, he said softly: "Are you going to sell Qinghai salt everywhere in the future?"

Yunchu said: "Not just salt, but also tea."

Wen Wen said: "The tea is too light and difficult to transport."

Yun Chu took out a small brown tea brick from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Wen, "Look clearly, Poria cocos tea brick. Drinking it will not only extend your life, but it can also relieve constipation and relieve tiredness. It is a good thing for meat eaters."

He weighed the tea brick gently and said, "After it is compressed like this, it will be easy to transport."

Yun Chu took out a small bamboo tube from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Wen, "There is another one."

Gentle unplugged the stopper on the bamboo tube, poured out some brown sugar, put it in his mouth to taste and said, "Brown sugar?"

"Bullshit, this is called brown sugar. It's the best supplement for women after giving birth or during menstruation!"

"Who said that? I always feel that this stuff can't be compared to white sugar and rock sugar."

"The old god said last night that the wrapping paper of these two things will be printed with the old god's face and what the old god said."

"Sun Shenxian brand Poria tea and brown sugar?

"Poria cocos is put in good tea to show that it is medicine?

Are you going to sell tea as medicine?

Or is it that the old god cannot deal with the bumper harvest of Smilax Poria in the medicine field on Longshouyuan?

And this brown sugar, this is a semi-finished product of white sugar that obviously lacks three processes. You can’t wait, can you?

Yunchu, I think you are a little obsessed. Even if Chang'an is in a sluggish state, isn't it slowly recovering?

In three to five years, Chang'an will definitely become prosperous again. "

As Yun Chu walked, he listened to Wen Wenwen's constant chatter in his ears. What the heck, people from fourteen hundred years later would say this is a good thing. Even the golden mold in the moldy Poria tea, They are all called Golden Flower, which is a treasure among Poria teas. No one can afford to drink it without money.

According to Yunchu's understanding, these two things are deep-processed products in the industrial chain.

Only by extending the industrial chain of worthless things can we get enough benefits.

There are many goods in Chang'an, but not many are truly famous.

The paper produced is not as good as rice paper, the pine smoke ink produced is not as good as Huizhou ink, the brushes produced is not as good as that of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and even the iron smelted is not as good as the iron from Zhaozhou.

For now, apart from cotton cloth, small hardware, and some food, there is basically nothing famous in the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an.

Yunchu decided to create some famous products first to further stimulate the merchants' desire to shop.

The name of Lao Shenxian is so useful. If the brand of Lao Shenxian cannot be explored in depth, Yunchu would feel sorry for Lao Shenxian's love and heart for the people.

"Your Aye name is also very useful. If you don't plan to take advantage of it, what do you think of Xuanzang brand incense candles? Or Emperor brand chairs and Queen brand urine buckets. You can consider them."

I have now discovered that it won't be long before the reputation of this Chang'an celebrity will be completely ruined by you. "

"Shut up, or I will bring out a Wenwen dung truck to make you famous all over the world."

"Okay, come on, there's a Wenwen dung truck, and there's also a Yunchu dung scoop. Today you have bad intentions and are specifically pouring dung into my head."

Compared with Yun Chu's lack of bottom line, Wen Wen is considered a gentleman.

Facing the lifeless Chang'an all day long, not only was Yunchu depressed, but his gentle temper also became irritable.

Without it, just because the Nancheng reconstruction project did not make people in Changan have the urge to go bankrupt and borrow money to buy a house. Many people saw it and envied it. When it came to spending money to buy it, they all shook their heads.

Yunchu Wenwen squatted on the south city wall, looking worriedly at the construction site in full swing below her feet.

"In the past, as soon as the renovation project started, we could get about 60% of the deposit, which was enough to cover the advance payments made by merchants in the early stage. Now, the Nancheng renovation project has been started for eleven days, and we have received less than 10% of the deposit. , Two months later, after the merchants have laid the foundation and planned the streets, they will have to pay 20% of the project price. Where do you want me to get the money?"

Yun Chu said to Wen Rou sadly.

Wen Wen held a piece of dogtail grass growing from the cracks in the bricks of the city wall and said calmly: "This news should be kept confidential, right?"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Except for the two accountants who know about it, the only people who know about it are you and me."

She smiled softly and said, "There is someone who should be able to come up with the money for the Nancheng renovation project."

Yunchu said: "You mean the queen?"

Wen Wenhe chuckled and said: "The queen is going all out to deal with you now..."

Yun Chu scratched his hair and said, "I really don't want to fight against her. Speaking of which, fighting with anyone in the Tang Dynasty is easier than fighting with the queen."

Wen Wen picked the dogtail grass in her mouth one by one and said: "It's not impossible to retaliate once, but if we just give in, we will definitely be defeated in the end."

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Then let's set up a trap for the queen. She escaped from the Liushui brand. I think she should join the newly released Nancheng reconstruction project and bring a large amount of construction funds to Chang'an. .”

Wen Wen nodded and said, "Then let's discuss it with Di Renjie and see where to start this game?"

Yun Chu said: "According to the news compiled by Di Renjie yesterday, the Wu brothers are almost done recovering from their injuries. I heard that they have already started to go to work?"

Wen Wen shook his head and said: "I think Yong Wangxian can continue to make use of it. The Wu brothers got a lot of benefits from Yong Wangxian last time. It's better to be experienced than to do it raw."

Having made up their mind, the two men came down from the empty city wall and began to inspect the construction site with serious faces.

This collective renovation of the eight cities in Nancheng is an unprecedented renovation project in Chang'an. In fact, it is because the scope of the one-time renovation is too large and there are too many houses supplied at one time, which leads to the There has been no premium in house prices.

The people of Chang'an are not fools, especially after the Liushui brand thunder incident. They are more awake than the other, and they know how to wait and see.

In their simple concept, once something cannot be sold, lowering the price and selling it out is an inevitable choice.

After walking around the construction site, Yunchu was very sure that the businessmen responsible for building streets, markets, landscapes, and residential houses were indeed working with an extremely cautious attitude. From the current point of view, they had paid in advance to purchase various items. All materials are top quality.

As long as Yunchu can pay them the project money advanced by the merchants on time, they can use this money to continue to advance payments for subsequent projects until the project is completed, Yunchu gets the money from selling the house, and pays off the final payment.

For now, no matter who comes, they will feel that this is a very profitable thing.
