Tang's dining table

Chapter 214 Step by step

Jinchangfang's world's best food conference finally came to an end on the seventh day without the emperor disrupting it.

In seven days, we received more than 163,700 Chinese and foreign tourists, consuming more than 280,000 jins of various grains, 5,600 pigs, 27,600 jins of fish, and 4,000 sheep. One hundred and sixty-five, cows, three heads, tofu, thirty-four thousand catties, sesame oil, three thousand catties, vegetables, one hundred and twenty thousand catties, chickens, sixteen hundred, ducks, thirteen thousand, geese, one Thousands...

Yun Chu didn't care much about how much money he made. What he cared about was how much money the people of Wannian County had left in their hands after purchasing these things.

As a result, I learned from Wu Hucao that this time the World Food Conference has consumed all the goods that the people in Wannian County have stored for many years. It can be said that today’s people in Wannian County At home, except for food rations, almost everything that could be sold was sold out.

After reading the account book, Yunchu sighed and said, "This is very dangerous."

Wuhu Cao said with a smile: "After all, the people have benefited and have money in their hands. From now on, just slowly accumulate family property, raise pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, and plant grain. If we can do it every year With such a grand event, why worry about the people of Wannian County not being rich?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "That's not what you said. The people's savings have been reduced, and their ability to resist disasters has been weakened. If there is a famine year next year, the people of Wannian County will have the most miserable life."

Wuhu Cao said with a smile: "The weather in Chang'an has been good this year, and the weather will definitely be good next year."

"You'd better stop saying this. I'm already scared from now on, not to mention that next year we will have to plant a large amount of inedible crops like cotton, and the cultivated land will be further reduced."

Wuhu Cao said: "Our Wannian County's water conservancy renovation this year has been completed, and the cleaning of saline-alkali land has been more than half completed. Coupled with this year's grain and livestock, the poultry has been sold at a good price, and the people have begun to spontaneously Wasteland has been reclaimed.”

Yun Chu was stunned for a moment when he heard this and said, "Is there still wasteland that can be reclaimed in Wannian County?"

Wuhu Cao said with a smile: "The Daming Palace construction site and the Wangzhai construction site to be built in Longqingfang are now idle, and the people can be encouraged to farm in these places.

There is also Qujiang and the land around Shanglinyuan can also encourage people to actively farm and just pay taxes to the royal family. "

Yun Chu frowned and said, "Why do I remember that many ministers were beheaded because they occupied royal land?"

Wuhu Cao laughed and said: "The county captain doesn't know. It is a capital crime for a minister to occupy the royal land. However, farmers are allowed to farm on the royal land. Even the place where Emperor Taizong's mausoleum is located, as long as he avoids the Shinto and the main hall, he will be fine." Even if the tombs are damaged, people can be allowed to farm."

"You mean, farmers outside the city can come into the city and farm on royal land?"

Wuhu Cao said: "I mean, cotton can be planted in two parts, one part can be planted on the land invaded by salt and alkali, and the other part can be planted on the places I just mentioned.

In this way, it will not affect Wannian County's land for growing grain and vegetables, nor will it delay the county captain's plan to grow cotton. "

"Don't you need to report it to the Young Master's Supervisor or something?"

"No, managing the land is a matter for Wannian County. The Young Master has no right to manage us."

Yun Chu nodded. The officials now are much easier to use than when he came. Even Wu Hucao has now become a good official who is upright and dedicated to the people.

"How much money did I, Wannian County, get from this World's No. 1 Food Conference?"

When Wu Hucao heard the county captain ask about this, he suppressed a smile and said: "After getting back the capital, there is still a surplus of 3,600 guan."

Yunchu looked at Wu Hucao and said, "How many ambushes were there?"

Wu Hucao whispered: "One thousand nine hundred strings."

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Take another hundred guan from the public account and gather together two thousand guan, and distribute them according to the principle of official position and hard work. The county magistrate, county magistrate, and chief secretary will not want it from me."

Wu Hucao's hands trembled, and he immediately said happily: "Can you make it clear?"

Yun Chu looked at Wu Hu Cao strangely and said: "Of course it must be clearly stated. How much each person has divided must be published on a list. This is clean money. If you take it back to build a house, there will be no insects in it. If you take it back to marry a wife, you will be guaranteed to marry him." Come back a good wife and mother.

In the future, you should spend less money that you don't care about and think more about ways to make the people of Wannian County rich. Although I, the county captain, can't give you a salary increase, I still know how much hard-earned money you should give. "

Wu Hucao listened to the county captain's words, agreed, and left with dignity.

A while ago, all the officials in the county government thought that their Shangguan was a man who was used to picking skin and cramps. Unexpectedly, after finishing the matter, they received a reward of two thousand guan. Even the servants in the county government offices were There are less than 500 people in total, plus the four people who usually get the big shots. According to his position, he, a household official, can get more than 100 guans in one stroke.

There is such clear money to be taken, and anyone who takes money that is unconscionable is really asking for death.

Hearing the Wannian County government office was filled with joy, Yun Chu couldn't help but smile. After packing up the documents, Zhang Jia accompanied him to the construction site of Guangfufang. Today, the first batch of six houses has been The work is ready.

When we arrived at the Guangfufang construction site, it was already crowded with people.

This made Yunchu feel like he was back at the world's best gourmet party, and his head was buzzing.

However, as more people saw the county captain arriving at the construction site surrounded by more than a dozen government officials, they all moved out of the way.

Yun Chu came to the six two-story buildings that had been completed and frowned tightly. Damn it, there are houses here and there that are ready for completion. In Yun Chu's eyes, they are not even as good as semi-finished products.

To be precise, the outer wall is just a row of blue bricks reaching the top. Take a look inside the building. It's the same inside, with rough walls and rough floors, and a gap in the middle of the wooden floor that can fit a finger. The doors and windows are made of wood and are very small. Even though it's still morning, the room is already very dark.

If you wait until people move in and then paper the windows or cover them with rags, will the house still be able to accommodate people?

This was not the case when I originally designed it.

When the foreman saw the county lieutenant staring at the two-foot-square window, he quickly explained: "This is not a villain changing the drawings at will. It was requested by this family. Zhou Lang came over and made it clear to the county lieutenant that this window was made according to the drawings. This is what you asked for."

A shrinking man quickly came over and said to Yun Chu: "It's not the foreman's fault, it's the villain's request. If the windows are bigger, it will be cold in winter."

Yun Chu said angrily: "Aren't you afraid that the heat will kill you in the summer?"

Zhou Lang said with an honest smile: "If it's hot in summer, wear less. As long as it's not cold in winter, that's all."

Yun Chu sneered and said: "You are a bunch of fools, since you are satisfied, just put your fingerprints on the confirmation.

You personally supervised the construction of this house. If this house collapses in the future, whether it collapses or has other problems has nothing to do with Jinchangfang. "

Zhou Lang was obviously very unhappy. He frowned and said: "How could such a good house collapse? How could it collapse? Where is the confirmation letter? I will press my fingerprints to take possession of the house now. Even if the whole family collapses and dies in the house, they will definitely Don’t cry out for injustice.”

Watching Zhou Lang carefully put his fingerprints on the confirmation form, Fang Zheng next to him also put his fingerprints and wrote his name. One copy belongs to Zhou Lang himself, and the other belongs to Wannian County Office for filing.

The other families were very satisfied, and they happily pressed their fingerprints and gave money to the person in the middle of the house. They happily stood at the door of their house, looking around and touching. From now on, this new house belongs to their family. , the King of Heaven is here, and he is also from his family.

Only the family that accidentally put a few broken bricks on the wall had a gloomy look on their faces and was very dissatisfied. Judging from the scars on the face of the head of the family who helped supervise the construction of the house, he had done a lot of work during this period. Suffer.

After he put his fingerprints on the confirmation letter, the dignified seven-foot-tall man squatted in his new home, holding the number one in his arms and crying bitterly.

But he couldn't attract anyone's sympathy, and he pointed at him and warned his family members who were responsible for supervising the construction of the house not to dare to be lazy again and make such a mistake.

Six families did get their own houses, which reassured the rest of the people. They are now willing to believe that as long as their houses are capped and completed, the houses must be theirs.

More than half of the five houses owned by the Tuyuhun people have been built, and in about ten days, it will be time for delivery.

Yun Chu met a young man named Tuo Bayuan here. If he hadn't introduced himself, it would have been difficult for Yun Chu to think that he was a Tuyuhun person, because his speech and appearance were the same as those of the Tang Dynasty.

His attitude towards Yunchu was more than respectful but not enthusiastic. This may be related to the fact that the Tyuhun people who bought houses were forced by Yunchu to go to Tuguhun to seduce wealthy people to settle in Chang'an.

Yunchu didn't bother to argue with him. He just told the foreman to speed up the construction and hand over the house to them before the first snow fell.

After finishing these things, Yunchu stood on the street and looked at Guangfufang. He was originally here to repair the houses that had been burned by fire, but now, more and more houses are being demolished.

Seeing their houses being demolished into piles of dirt, few of the people who lived here were sad. Only some ignorant children would cry loudly, and then cry even more when they were beaten by their parents. miserable.

The young man selling Hu cakes put a hot cake filled with meat into Yun Chu's hand and said: "In three to five years, Guangfufang will become a new market."

Yun Chu turned around and didn't see his wife breastfeeding the child, so he took a bite of the biscuit and said, "You don't have to worry about me looking at your wife anymore."

The cake seller said angrily: "She has already given birth to two babies. Are you still worried about her?"

Yun Chu chuckled and said, "I also got married a few days ago, and my wife is much prettier than your wife."
