Tang's dining table

(The previous chapter was in the wrong order)

Yun Chu never thought that a dynasty would perish just by building a few palaces, a Great Wall, a few roads, or a canal.

On the contrary, if controlled well, the construction of such large projects will actually promote the country's economy.

The process of building these things is actually a process of wealth accumulation. As long as the people responsible for the work can get a living wage and the suppliers responsible for providing materials can get the payment, building a palace is not a big deal.

After Wen Wenwen spent a long time with Yun Chu, she gradually recognized Yun Chu's statement that labor creates wealth.

Therefore, even in the year of great disaster, Wannian County has not stopped the process of demolishing the rotten houses and building new ones in Wannian County and City. On the contrary, it has accelerated the pace of construction and expanded the scope of demolishing the old and building new ones. few.

Therefore, someone wrote to the emperor, hoping to stop Yunchu's behavior that harmed the people and severely punish this ignorant magistrate of ten thousand years.

Li Zhi asked the transfer department and learned that Yunchu had not applied for money and food from the household department. He also asked the Ministry of Industry and learned that Yunchu had not applied for a corvee quota. Finally, he asked Yushitai and learned that Yunchu had not caused civil unrest. All are running smoothly.

People whose houses were demolished were able to get new houses, and the craftsmen responsible for building the houses were paid. Although the suppliers responsible for providing materials had no money for the time being, they were not in a hurry and waited for the houses to be completed before collecting money.

Then, the emperor said to the official who impeached Yunchu, "What are you doing?" and completely settled the dispute.

This time, Yunchu planned to completely vacate a city and build a Hurenfang city for the Hu people to live collectively.

Having such a dedicated Hurenfang City will be of great benefit to the development of the Silk Road.

Of course, this is just a statement. Yunchu has his own unique insights into this future Hurenfang market.

Mainly due to the request put forward by the old monkey's letter, he has now begun to gather the power of Hu merchants outside the pass, and is preparing to form an army belonging to Buddha outside the Tang Dynasty vassal town.

The laws of the Tang Dynasty were actually very, very selfish.

If the Hu people broke the law in the Tang Dynasty, they might not be able to survive even if they ran to the ends of the earth. However, if the Tang people broke the law in the Hu land, as long as they ran into Yumen Pass, as long as the law they broke had nothing to do with the Tang people, they would be fine.

Originally, Yunchu didn't notice this small problem, but this time he was reminded by the old monkey's behavior and reviewed the law again.

Until one time when I was chatting with Yin Erhu, I discovered that this was actually the best business.

In fact, this incident originally started with a hidden friend of Yin Erhu.

At that time, Yin Erhu's friend, because he had no land to divide, his family did not report his name to the government in order to reduce taxes.

When he grew up, he wanted to be a soldier with Yin Erhu, but unfortunately, he could not be a soldier without household registration, so he was hired by the soldiers to do some extremely dangerous spies in front of the army, or dirty work such as assassinations and raids.

As a result, this guy actually did a lot of tricks in the southwest where the natives lived. With the support of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, he quickly became a terrifying existence that the natives in the southwest talked about.

This man was a standard evildoer in the southwest. He not only killed the rebellious natives, but also reached out to the Six Ministries of Nanzhao. He used the Han people's usual instigation, rumors and other natural abilities to often stir up troubles in the Six Ministries of Nanzhao. Some wars, vendettas, and huge profits were made from them.

Now it didn't work. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were familiar with him had retreated and were replaced by a group of soldiers that he was not familiar with. And in that group of soldiers, they also had evil people they supported.

Therefore, gradually, he could not survive in the southwest. In addition, he had not returned to his hometown for many years and missed his hometown very much. After sneaking back, he saw Yin Erhu and hoped to settle down in Chang'an through Yin Erhu's introduction. .

The only fare left for Yin Erhu was a bag of gold sand. Yun Chu weighed it and found that it weighed ten kilograms.

To be able to give Yin Erhu ten kilograms of gold so generously, Yun Chu felt that if the gold sand in this guy's hand was less than a thousand kilograms, he would be blind.

So, Yun Chu went to ask Di Renjie. If this guy violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, he would let Zhang Jia and the others arrest him. By the way, the gold would be seized and used to subsidize the people who suffered from floods.

As a result, Di Renjie actually said that this person not only did not violate any laws of the Tang Dynasty in the southwest, but also made contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

This is troublesome. The money in other people's hands is the income of other people's labor and cannot be touched. At least, in Yun Chu's view, the money cannot be touched.

After all, he is an official, not a robber. He can do things by clever means, but he cannot do such things as robbery.

After discussing with Wen Wen for a long time, there was still no good solution, so Yin Erhu had to tell this person that it was not impossible to settle in Chang'an, but he would have to pay various taxes and fines since he was born.

Just when Yunchu thought the matter was over, this guy named Sun Jiangyang and nicknamed Sun Shiyi suddenly appeared in the Wannian County Fa Cao's court, claiming that he had made mistakes in his early years. This time I came here to surrender to the government and receive punishment.

For those who want to be naturalized in seclusion, if they are guilty or innocent, they will be punished first. This is a given. Just when Yun Chu thought that this person would use gold to buy off the officials and avoid this punishment, Sun Shiyi did not say anything. He took off his trousers and declared that he was willing to endure these twenty hardships. He also said that he would not be short of due filial piety.

Yun Chu believed that the reason why the imperial court enacted the rule of killing the power stick was to make it easier for officials to use it for profit.

Sun Jiangyang was punished obediently, and the government officials had no choice but to punish him firmly. He was beaten every twenty strokes, and he was not deliberately let off. After the beating, he was left with a bag of gold sand as a thank you.

Then he limped to the Hucao Yamen, preparing to continue to accept financial punishment, pay the fine, and then register his household registration.

Hucao Lao Liu was an honest man. Now that he was here, he would not be polite. He multiplied the taxes that a strong man would have to pay in his lifetime by a hundred times and reported the number to Sun Jiangyang with a smile. And he was ready to explain to Sun Jiangyang why he needed to pay so much money.

Unexpectedly, without saying a word, Sun Jiangyang took out a bag of gold sand and blocked Hucao's mouth tightly.

Without saying a word, Sun Jiangyang was registered on the spot in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and he also specially gave Sun Jiangyang a certificate proving that all taxes had been paid.

Then, Yun Chu and Wen Wen, who were standing in the public house, saw this guy crying and laughing as he left the Wannian County Government Office.

"One thousand taels of gold, what a pity." Yunchu said with infinite regret.

"A thousand gold horse bones are still worth it." Even in late autumn, Gentle still shakes the delicate cattail leaf fan in his hand.

"Tell me, if this continues, will Wannian County become the most evil place in the entire Tang Dynasty?"

He looked at Yun Chu with gentle contempt and said: "Tell me first, this Sun Jiangyang violated one of the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Even if it was the crime of hiding, he accepted the punishment according to the law and owed taxes to the court. It was also completed in one go.

Wannian County Government just did what it should do. What are you dissatisfied with? "

Yun Chu stretched his neck and watched Sun Jiangyang go away and said, "If he buys two more houses built in Wannian County, I will be satisfied."

Wen Wen laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this?"

After saying that, he called a busboy and muttered a few words to him. Then, the busboy hurriedly chased Sun Jiangyang.

After a while, the handyman came back with Sun Jiangyang.

Yunchu received Sun Jiangyang as warmly as the spring breeze, and asked the servants to prepare pots of tea, and drank it with Sun Jiangyang.

Yunchu baked a piece of Hu cake. When the Hu cake was baked golden, he broke half of it and gave it to Sun Jiangyang. He asked about his family with concern. He asked if the old parents were still in good health and asked if his children were well. Didn't go to school.

Finally, I thanked him for his contribution to Wannian County, lamented the difficulty of his overseas life these years, and encouraged him to live a good life and enjoy happiness since he settled in Chang'an, forget what he did in the southwest in the past, and not to forget the habits of the southwest. Bring him to Chang'an.

After drinking a jar of tea and chewing half of the Hu cake, Yun Chu, as warm as the spring breeze, accepted Sun Jiangyang's farewell.

After a while, Wen Wen came in and said, "I bought three small buildings in one go, without even asking about the price."

Yunchu clapped his mouth and said: "It's easy to make money for this kind of person. It makes me happy to think about it. This is the person who brings trouble to a poor place like Nanzhao. Think about those who bring trouble to the east and the west." , especially the Han horse thieves in the Western Regions, not to mention the pirates in the sea, I heard that they are also very wealthy."

Wen Wen nodded and said: "The status of Wannian County is really good. Even if these people want to change their ways, they don't dare to go to those local prefectures and counties. If they go there, they will definitely be beaten to the bone by the local officials.

Wannian County is different. This is Jingxian County. Although things are done in a regular manner, there are still some bottom lines.

As long as Sun Jiangyang can settle down in Wannian County safely, you can see that within two months, all kinds of monsters and monsters will appear among the people under your command, and you can still extend your tentacles to them through these people. The place of fortune in the past.

Gao Ming, no wonder you want to stick to Chang'an and refuse to leave. This is a truly good place where a single move can affect your whole body. "

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Take your time, we are still young, we can afford to wait, and we can afford it. Over time, our strength will slowly grow, and our ideals will definitely come true."

Wen Wen sighed and said: "Thinking about your wish is just to put gold foil on Chang'an, I feel that your ideal is not worthy of the strength you will have in the future."

Yun Chu looked at Wen Wen and cupped his hands and said, "It's just loyalty to the emperor and patriotism."

Wen Wenwen returned the favor angrily: "I thought so too."
