Tang's dining table

Just when the steward of Fushouyuan was about to report the person's name, Yun Chu raised his hand to stop him. He didn't want to know.

No matter who this old man is, he is not interested. He just wants to know whether this person followed the rules when he came in.

“For those who are over sixty years old, injured, old, sick, disabled, orphaned or widowed, and unable to survive, Fushouyuan needs to accept them. After providing them with food and clothing, if they have family members, they will be sent home and their families will be ordered to live well and support them.

If there are no family members, you need to wait for a vacant bed to appear in Fu Shou Yuan before making arrangements. "

"Where is this old man's family?"

"In Iowa."

"What's the plan now?"

"Temporary treatment, waiting for available beds to enter the park."

"Very well, that's it."

Yun Chu closed the account book. He had just looked at it and found that the accounts of Fu Shou Yuan and the orphanage were relatively smooth. Although there were some minor discrepancies, these were also some redundancies and errors that inevitably occurred in daily management.

Fushou Garden covers an area of ​​100 acres and has a total of 500 beds. Wannian County's allocation is allocated based on the number of beds, as is the annual rice grain, clothing, medicinal materials, and daily necessities.

People in the Tang Dynasty generally become very weak after the age of sixty, and this phenomenon is even more obvious in poor families.

At the age of seventy, Li Ji still had the energy to play happily with the Silla maids, the Korean maids, and the Baekje maids. However, the people here who are over 60 years old have become so old that even walking has become an extremely luxurious thing.

Because it had snowed, all the men, women and old people here put their hands in their sleeves and sat in rows under the eaves like children, waiting for Yunchu, the superior officer, to come to inspect.

The gifts that Yunchu brought were very high-end. Everyone could get a blanket, a bag of tea, a piece of meat, and a small bottle of wine.

There are five hundred copies for five hundred people, and there is no extra. The old people who get it are very grateful, and many people want to kneel down and thank them.

This was strictly prohibited by Yun Chu, who was worried that he would die young after accepting the kneeling worship of these old people.

Then he led people into the house where the old people lived. There were no beds, only big kangs. Because the kangs were not burned during the day, the room was cold and had a faint smell of urine.

There is no way, this is the special smell in Fushouyuan. Some old people who can no longer control their defecation still need to be taken care of by some relatively young old people here. There are always things that cannot be taken care of.

The life in Fushou Garden can only be said to keep these old people from dying, but it cannot allow these old people to spend their old age happily.

It’s not that Wannian County can’t come up with more money and food, but if Fushou Garden is too good, thousands of childless old people will appear outside Fushou Garden the next day, even if they have children. , they will also say no.

The bedding on the big kang was very torn. After Yun Chu touched it, he found that it was still warm, but there were a lot of lice and fleas...

There is nothing that can be done about it. People in Guanzhong don't like to take baths, especially the elderly. They think that taking too many baths will wash away the remaining yang energy in them.

So, just get dirty.

After Yun Chu entered the grain depot, he used a prod to check the grain. Fortunately, the grain in the bag was all normal grain. The sorghum, millet, millet, and wheat were not moldy or spoiled.

I went to the kitchen again and found out that today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and these old people had fat meat stewed with cabbage and tofu.

Naha and Li Si ran over from the orphanage laughing and joking, followed by a group of children with all kinds of poor and strange looks behind her.

Naha and Li Si have played with the children in Jinchangfang since they were young, so they have a certain understanding of the poor. Although the children in the orphanage are uglier and dirtier, they can still accept them.

There is nothing that can be done about it. No one wants to throw away a prettier child. Even if it is lost, it will be picked up by others. If it is thrown out and no one is willing to pick it up, it is definitely not a beautiful child.

The existence of the orphanage is just to give these children a way out.

Yun Chu led a large group of people to inspect the Fushou Garden and then went to the orphanage. The same process, the same gifts, but replaced the tea and wine with sugar.

After Yun Chu inspected the Fu Shou Garden and the Compassionate Orphans' Home, he took his people back to the city. In the woods outside the Fu Shou Garden and the Compassionate Orphans' Home, there were many old people and children who wanted to enter these two places.

They built many shacks in the woods to live in. Every two days, people from Fushou Garden and Orphanage would provide them with some food.

They longed to live in these two places, but unfortunately, only five hundred people could be accommodated here, and one more could not be accommodated.

If you want to get in, you can only wait for a bed to become available.

A tall old man in tattered clothes leaned against a big tree, staring intently at Yun Chu.

Yunchu didn't look at him, but discussed with the officials in Wannian County how to stabilize the welfare of Fushouyuan and the orphanage, and at the same time, find ways to open up a source of revenue to deal with the increasing number of orphans and widows. The elderly, and abandoned children.

Yun Chu knew the old man and recognized him just at a glance. Just as he expected, this great old man actually escaped from Annan.

Although Yunchu didn't know why Chu Suiliang, the governor of Aizhou, became a beggar that no one cared about.

However, he knew that a storm was about to arise in Chang'an City. If there was no such effect, people like Chu Suiliang would never get themselves to this point anyway.

History says that Chu Suiliang died in Annan...

A man who was supposed to die in Annan suddenly appeared outside Chang'an City. Like a beggar, he needed to enter Fushou Garden to survive. There must be something going on here.

Otherwise, in Chang'an, Chu Suiliang still had some friends whom he had known for a long time, some friends who would not abandon their old friends because they were afraid of the emperor.

Now, he was lying under the tree like a beggar, shivering in the cold wind.

Yunchu could always feel Chu Suiliang's sharp gaze falling on him. Several times, he wanted to see this man who had a great reputation in the past, but in the end, he was stopped by reason.

Thinking about Changsun Wuji's last warning, Yunchu felt that he had no reason to participate in this chaos.

At the same time, Yun Chu didn't believe that people like Li Zhi and Chang Sun Wuji didn't know that Chu Suiliang had returned.

Since everyone is pretending to be stupid, there is no need to be a smart person.

People like Chu Suiliang don't need mercy at all, let alone laugh at others.

If anyone wants to see the jokes of people like Chu Suiliang, there is only one end result, and that is to become a complete joke.

Similarly, if anyone pities a person like Chu Suiliang, the final result will be that he or she will be pitied by others.

In less than a stick of incense after Yunchu's team left, a carriage came to Chu Suiliang. Two people got out, carried Chu Suiliang into the carriage, and then ran towards Chang'an City.

The reason why they put Chu Suiliang here was to let Yun Chu see it. Unfortunately, Yun Chu had a heart of stone and ignored the down-and-out Chu Suiliang, which made the plan only half completed. .

Then, the embarrassed Chu Suiliang appeared in many places in Chang'an City. In the West City, some people saw the down-and-out Chu Suiliang. In the East City, some people saw the wealthy Chu Suiliang. In Goulan, where officials often go, people saw When Chu Suiliang came to listen to the music and watch the dance, someone also saw a calligraphy on the white wall of Fangshi: "When you receive the imperial edict, Duchen and Wuji are here. Your Majesty is mourning in the grass below, and I will immediately report to you to ascend the throne." In front of the coffin of Daxing. At that time, His Majesty held the minister's neck in his arms. The minister and Wuji asked him to return to the capital immediately, and the announcement was made. It was quiet inside and outside."

This calligraphy is called "Xie Xin Tie" by people in Chang'an City.

The characters in this painting are written in a light and heavy way, like floating clouds covering a sunny day; the waves are like a breeze shaking the blue sea. Qi is like a galloping horse and like a hook. Change comes from the heart, but wonderful effects come from the hands.

Except for Chu Suiliang, no one in the Tang Dynasty could write such majestic characters.

Therefore, everyone in Chang'an knew that Chu Suiliang had returned from Aizhou. He did not come back under an imperial edict, but came back step by step on his own.

"This is very interesting. Many people in the Imperial Academy began to complain about Chu Suiliang, and many ministers in the court also began to petition, hoping that Your Majesty could pardon Chu Suiliang and allow him to return to his hometown to farm."

Wen Wenwen went to the white wall in Fangshi in person in the morning and copied a piece of "Heart-breaking Tie" when she came back. She looked at the words on it and admired it while reading it.

Di Renjie said: "Your Majesty always prides himself on benevolence and filial piety. It is because of his benevolence and filial piety that he was able to win the title of Zuo of the Tang Dynasty after the crown prince and King Wei.

Now, Chu Suiliang and others have begun to attack His Majesty's benevolence and filial piety, which is to undermine His Majesty's foundation.

I even suspect that if His Majesty pressed too hard, Chu Suiliang would even say that Your Majesty was not in the right position. "

Wen Wenwen picked up the brush and continued to copy "Separating Heart Tie" and said: "The pen in your hand is not as good as the sword in your palm.

I don't believe that people like Chu Suiliang can't understand this truth, unless something happened in Aizhou and made him crazy. "

Yun Chu whispered: "Chu Suiliang's two sons, Chu Yanfu, Chu Yanchong, grandson, and Chu Ji were also sent to Aizhou by His Majesty a year ago.

Moreover, Chu Yanfu died unexpectedly as soon as he arrived in Aizhou. "

After hearing what Yun Chu said about the new news he had just received, Di Renjie stopped talking. Wen Wenwen also concentrated on copying "Xie Xin Tie" without saying anything and did not express his opinion on this matter.

Without saying a word, they had already made their attitude clear. The emperor and the empress handled Chu Suiliang's matter in a very unkind way.

"The three of us can just pretend not to know, right?" Yun Chu said clearly what he had summarized.

Wen Wen raised her head and said, "You think too highly of the three of us."

Di Renjie stood up, waved his robe sleeves and said, "Go and have a rest. A certain family will be in seclusion to review the files in the near future. If there is nothing serious, don't disturb me."

Of these two people, one was obsessed with calligraphy and the other was obsessed with files. Only Yunchu didn't know what he should be obsessed with at this time in order to avoid this storm.
