Tang's dining table

Yunchu had been waiting for Li Keshi's counterattack.

Unfortunately, he waited for ten days, but still did not receive the counterattack he expected.

In the past ten days, even though Keshi Li's family has moved into Guanyi, the attacks against him have not stopped.

Just this morning, as soon as his housekeeper went out, an arrow penetrated his throat and died.

I don’t know why, but Keshi Li is unlucky, but Jinchangfang has experienced the largest residential wave since the opening of Jinchangfang.

Moreover, everyone who enters the square gate must kneel down and worship the giant phoenix devoutly.

The entry fee for Jinchangfang is also increasing rapidly.

The shabby houses were overcrowded, and the hotels prepared for merchants from all walks of life were also overcrowded. Even the quiet rooms prepared for female pilgrims in Da Ci'en Temple were rented out, and more people planned to live in Da Ci'en Temple.

Yunchu felt that this might be Wu Mei trying to establish her authority, paving the way for her to ascend to the throne of queen.

It's easy to be a queen, but it's very difficult to be a queen that everyone is afraid of.

It was also at this time that Yunchu discovered that the generals group was not united at all.

The righteousness he showed when they were drinking and eating together disappeared at this moment, because most of the people who lived in Jinchangfang were important nephews and nephews of these military generals.

For this reason, Yunchu had to arrange a large number of bad guys in Jinchangfang to guard the safety of these paying guests.

Li Shen also wanted to live in Jinchangfang, but was rejected by Yun Chu. Li Shen did not get angry after being rejected, and just shrugged casually. It seemed that he knew very well that he was not on the hunting list, and the reason why he wanted to come in was to join in the fun.

Li Shen was very, very fond of the fat child born to Wu Mei and Li Zhi. Whenever he came to Jinchangfang, he would hold it for a while. He probably had never even cared about his own child so much.

"At first glance, this child is blessed." Li Shen carefully touched the child's eyebrows and said to Yun Chu.

Yun Chu said angrily: "Your Majesty, you can say this in front of His Majesty next time."

Li Shen stretched his neck and looked at Yun Chu and said, "You will tell Wu Mei about this, right?"

Yun Chu sighed, took the child and held him in his arms, saying, "Life is not easy, so of course I will help if I can."

Li Shen nodded and said to Yun Chu: "What I appreciate most is your magnanimity with the beauty of an adult."

As he spoke, he took out a small mutton-fat white jade pendant from his arms, hung it around the fat child's neck, and said gently: "I heard that wearing this thing can make a girl's skin as white as jade."

Yun Chu sneered and said: "Whose girl is as fair as my Naha? That child is now afraid that she will become too fair. She runs under the sun all day long and lives a more comfortable life than the girl from the Chang'an family. "

Li Shen just smiled and didn't answer. Although Li Shen didn't show any airs when he was alone with Yun Chu, as long as he left the Yun family, all the nephews and nephews he met on the road would have to give way. Stand on the roadside and salute.

After the Lantern Festival, spring in Chang'an has basically arrived, and people have no reason to continue to be lazy.

The land is most sensitive to the news that spring is coming. Diligent farmers have begun to transport manure and plant ash to the fields over the winter, and then spread the manure and plant ash evenly on the field.

The fields had thawed at the end of January, and the cattle dragged the plows to cut straight furrows in the fields, and then turned over the land that had been dormant all winter.

This year, many farmers in Wannian County seem to be more relaxed than ever before, because they have received this season's harvest from the government, and now they just have to work step by step.

It was a new experience for them to just drive the cattle into the city and go to the construction sites that the royal family could not use for the time being.

There are many farmers coming to the city this year, not only from Wannian County, but also from Chang'an County.

Since the construction of the house in Anyefang began in an orderly manner, Liu Rengui's reputation as a snow-clearing county magistrate has become a life-saving magistrate.

It was indeed a life-saving county magistrate. If Liu Rengui hadn't ordered the county government's houses to be vacated for the people who had no houses to spend the winter, there would have been many more people freezing to death in Chang'an County last winter.

When the farmers entered the city, Yun Chu and Liu Rengui rode out of the city.

Different from Yunchu's view of Qujiangli, Liu Rengui was extremely envious of the seven brick kilns that were emitting thick smoke in Qujiang, he was extremely envious of the countless bricks stacked on the ground to dry in the shade, and he was extremely envious of the carts of green bricks pulled out of the cooling kiln. Brick was extremely envious.

He even spread out his hands to catch the soot falling from the sky, looking at it with great envy.

In the previous era, things that would have been scolded by Shangguan had become a sign of happiness in Liu Rengui's case.

"This is really good——"

Liu Rengui looked at Yun Chu, and the wrinkles on his old face seemed to be blooming with a smile.

Yun Chu proudly picked up a brick and said to Liu Ren: "Your Excellency, this brick did not exist in this world before. Now that we have this brick, can we say that these kiln workers have created the wealth of one brick?" ?”

Liu Rengui also picked up a brick and hit the blue brick with the iron hoop on the head of the horse whip. Hearing the dull sound made by the green brick, he smiled and said, "It's true."

Yunchu pointed to some tall houses being built in Qujiang and said: "In four months, the papermaking workshop here will be completed. From now on, all the paper produced here will be used to supply Hu merchants and will not be sold internally." .”

Liu Rengui asked in confusion: "Why not sell it internally? Do you think the prices offered by those barbarians are high?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "There are considerations in this regard, but more of them are for other paper-making workshops in Datang."

Liu Rengui: "For their sake, why is this?"

Yunchu pointed to the papermaking workshop still under construction and said: "Once work starts here, the paper produced every day will be more than ten times the output of ordinary papermaking workshops.

As a result, the cost of making a piece of paper here is much lower than that of paper-making workshops elsewhere. If all of them enter the market, they will be quickly destroyed. Paper-making workshops elsewhere will leave those people without food.

Therefore, the paper here is only for external use, not internal use. I can make more money, and those paper-making workshops can also survive for a longer period of time. "

Liu Rengui: "Can't the price be reduced? This is definitely a good thing for people who use paper."

"It's not good at all for those who make a living by making paper. In our Tang Dynasty, scholars are not the priority, but the stomachs of farmers and craftsmen are the priority.

In this world, scholars can always live easier than farmers and craftsmen. "

"Why do you think that the cost of a paper-making workshop must be lower than that of a small workshop?"

"The procurement costs are different, and the papermaking process is different, so the paper here will definitely be cheaper."

“Many small workshops use raw materials and labor for papermaking from themselves, so there is no procurement cost.”

Yun Chu laughed and said: "County Lord, I remember telling you that money buys other people's labor time. No matter where the papermaking raw materials and labor in the small workshop come from, they have no way to save labor time after all.

When the cotton textile workshop in Chang'an County is built and put into operation, you will know how the assembly line work method passed down from Da Qin will continue to flourish once it begins to circulate. "

Liu Rengui is a very practical person and will not express his opinions easily without seeing the actual situation.

Coming out of the Qujiang River, which is full of coal ash, opposite is the Qujiang Pond with a surface as smooth as a mirror.

Spring has just arrived, so the wind blowing from the Qujiang River is still biting. However, the ice on the edge of the pond has melted away, and even the willow trees that have not sprouted have begun to swing their long branches, seeming very happy.

"In a few days, it will be the spring ox hunting time on February 2nd. Are you going to hunt the spring oxen at the suburban social office in the imperial city, or come here by the Qujiang River to hunt the spring oxen?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Your Majesty hunts spring cattle every year in the field of the big commune in the suburbs of the Social Affairs Department to take care of the farming. I, a small official with a big ego, can't take care of that much. I still want to hunt spring cattle on the edge of Qujiang River. All my hopes are placed on the land of Wannian County."

Liu Rengui smiled and nodded: "Very good."

Perhaps because of the same goals, Yun Chu and Liu Rengui actually felt very happy during their time together.

Starting from the big shrine, we talked about farmland, then we talked about water conservancy projects, and then there were worries about the salinization of the land in Chang'an and Wannian counties, and the hope of planting cotton and having a good harvest.

On this day, the two of them rode horses to visit Wannian County, as well as the land and water conservancy projects near Chang'an County.

We evaluated the quality of the land and the convenience of water conservancy in each place, as well as where to focus on development, where the government needs to subsidize development, and where it needs to be considered last.

When you are thirsty, you drink water, and when you are hungry, you eat a piece of biscuit. Before you know it, the sound of bells and drums urging people to return to the city rang again.

The two of them hurried into Chang'an City before the last bells and drums sounded. When they parted on Zhuque Street, Liu Rengui looked at Yun Chu and said: "Master Li's incident is his own fault.

It would be best for their family's case to be handled by Dali Temple. Although the incident happened in Wannian County, it has nothing to do with Wannian County. "

Yun Chu was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Teach me."

Liu Rengui smiled and waved his hand and said, "I'm really looking forward to seeing you covering Chang'an with gold foil."

Yun Chu laughed and said, "When I cover Chang'an with gold foil, I invite you to ride a horse together and see every golden corner of Chang'an City."

Liu Rengui waved his riding whip, and the war horse automatically turned around and went to the West Market. Yun Chu also urged the bay-red horse, and the bay-red horse immediately ran towards Jinchangfang in a wise manner. Although the two of them are going in opposite directions, Yun Chu believes that as long as they are really doing things, they will always meet at the end.
