Tang's dining table

Helan Minzhi has been selling off his property recently.

Except for the huge Duke Zhou's mansion, which was a gift from the emperor and could not be bought or sold, He Lanmin's properties belonging to Duke Zhou's mansion, Mrs. Han's wife, Mrs. Rongguo's wife, and Mrs. Wei's were all sold off.

Calculated in this way, Helan Minzhi is also a wealthy and powerful guy.

When nobles sell their property, they naturally don't hawk it on the street like small vendors. Helan Minzhi just spread the news that he was going to sell off his property, and then sat in the hospital and waited for others to come to his door.

House owners usually don't take part in this kind of thing. The ones who take action are the eldest ladies of the family.

Yu Xiurong took Naha out early in the morning to participate in the auction meeting of Duke Zhou's Mansion.

The reason why Naha was brought along was simply because Naha was the young lady of the Yun family. At her age, it was time for her to learn some skills in managing the household and finances.

Yun Chu was in charge of the Wannian County Government Office, waiting for people to show up to those who were deceiving the public.

As a result, most of the people who came were businessmen...

These people were neatly dressed when they came, and when they crossed the threshold and came in, they did not have any fear, but had a generous and tragic look on their faces, and the freedom and ease of going to death calmly.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were no pure merchants, but all merchants who could be ranked had the support of noble courtiers.

It’s not that there are no merchant houses, they’re just very small. They usually have a business model of a shop in the front and a factory in the back.

Yun Chu didn't care who the people were, he just wanted them to sign documents pleading guilty.

Anyway, he couldn't kill the monkeys, so killing some chickens would be considered a great victory for Wannian County.

Those who spread rumors to cause trouble, confuse the people, and slander the imperial government's new cotton policy, as long as they meet these three crimes, will usually be sent to the Western Regions or Lingnan, and the second-tier ones will also be sent to Liaodong or Shuzhong.

During the interrogation process, Yun Chu could have relied on the death penalty. Even if he couldn't kill all these people, there would be problems. If he killed half of them, no one in the court would say a word.

Thirty-one people were arrested in Wannian County, and they were beaten with killing sticks in front of the heads of various roads and lights in Wannian County.

Under Yunchu's gloomy expression, the government officials did not dare to show mercy. The board they raised high fell fiercely, and the buttocks of the thirty-one criminals outside the Wannian County Yamen were bloody and bloody.

After spanking these people, they asked the government servants to use ox carts to pull these naked people through the villages of Wannian County.

There are many people here who are familiar to the people of Wannian County, although they keep begging for some dignity.

The greatest dignity that Yunchu could give them was that they had to expose their beaten butts and cover their faces.

The gentle Chang'an County is also a general model. There is no killing, just an exile of three thousand miles. However, they have to walk through the countryside of Chang'an and Wannian County in the most embarrassing way.

The result of this is that except for some people who really can't afford the money, the rest of the people who took Yun Chu's thirty cents are now crying and shouting to get their money back.

Naturally, Yunchu would not do such a boring thing. If he took the money back, it would be a betrayal of the people who insisted on not wanting the money.

This made everyone in Chang'an and Chang'an counties who had collected money panic. However, those who insisted on not collecting money at the beginning now looked arrogant.

At this time, Yun Chu and Wen Wen took the opportunity to inform the people of Chang'an and Wannian counties that they planned to build four cotton textile workshops in the two counties to process the cotton grown throughout Guanzhong.

In this way, it is necessary to recruit 8,000 female textile workers and 2,000 male textile workers within the two counties. It is also necessary to allocate 100 management personnel from the yamen of the two counties, and 20 people need to be selected from the li chiefs and workshop chiefs to station. Four workshops.

There are only two thousand male workers. It is not too difficult to find jobs with the same income in Chang'an City.

However, eight thousand female textile workers are so powerful. When will women also be able to earn men’s wages?

These 8,000 female weavers selected from Wannian County and Chang'an County can do it. Before them, there were 3,000 women who had received such wages for three years.

Of course, all female workers and male workers come from families that have not received the thirty cents from the government.

This sounds very unfair, but Yun Chu and Rou Wen still did this in order to establish the credibility of the government.

These people will also become the first group of people selected by Yun Chu and Wen Wen to take the whole family to eat meat and wear good clothes.

Their families will definitely start to escape poverty in Chang'an and become relatively wealthy families.

Yunchu determined that within five years, the living standards of these families would be enough to reach a new level.

Nothing good can fall from the sky, and all benefits must be earned by oneself.

Once these women became skilled textile workers, they would transform from a peasant woman into a valuable handicraftsman. With the continuous improvement of spinning wheels and other tools, they would become in-demand craftsmen throughout the Tang Dynasty.

Those who were upset that they didn't get thirty pennies are now thankful for their original decision.

Women who were originally a burden to farm families can now do many things that men cannot.

Especially at the end of last year, the salted fish that the female workers in the original textile workshop took home has already lived in the hearts of these people.

As for those who received money, although many of them were not greedy people, they had various reasons for having to collect money for farming.

Unfortunately, in Yunchu's eyes, luck is also a type of strength.

It was already ten days before Yunchu returned home after handling these trivial matters in Wannian County.

In the past ten days, Yu Xiurong and Naha have also had very good harvests. The Yun family's premium farmland in Wannian County has increased from 280 acres to 1100 acres, of which 730 acres The land near Qujiang Pond was originally an heirloom given by the emperor to the Korean lady, but was sold by Helan Minzhi, a prodigal son.

Yu Xiurong was very lucky to win this first prize.

When she won the first prize, she defeated many noble ladies such as princesses and ladies.

The person who really made the difference was not Yun Chu, the head of the Hou family, but Fei Jiu, the damn groom.

He used a thousand Tuyuhun slaves that Yunchu, the head of the family, didn't even know belonged to him, to defeat a group of noble ladies holding money, shops, and gold and pearls, and successfully obtained the piece of land from He Lan Minzhi. .

Now, Helan Minzhi is still collecting money and land in order to arm these thousand men, horses, and weapons.

The Yun family didn't have the ability to get these for him, but Yun Chu thought that Xu Jingye should have the ability. After all, Fei Jiu had negotiated with Xu Jingye when they were in Tyuhun for these thousand slaves in Tuyuhun.

He Lan Minzhi only needed to take away these thousand Tuguhun slaves from Xu Jingye when he passed by Tyuhun and entered Tubo.

When Yun Chu walked in, he circled around Fei Jiu, making Fei Jiu's hair stand on end. Just when he was about to speak, Yun Chu shook his head and left.

Yu Xiurong was holding an exquisite lotus-shaped teapot and sipping the tea contentedly from mouth to mouth, just like a real landowner.

Naha sat opposite Yu Xiurong, with her legs crossed and holding a teapot, drinking hot tea.

Seeing the two women doing this, Yunchu knew that these two guys were drinking hot tea and sweating. When they broke out in a sweat and their bodies cooled down, they would go to the big bathhouse to enjoy themselves. From the palace The woman's service, and finally taking advantage of the coolness brought by the hot bath just now, sleeping in the big bathhouse while enjoying an aromatherapy oil massage when the sun is the hottest. In this way, this upsetting day is over. .

Yun Chu stretched his neck and took a look into the room, and found that Li Si was taking Yun Jin with him. Yun Jin was lying in the gauze tent, sleeping with his legs in the air, unaware of anything.

Mrs. Cui stayed by the gauze tent, doing the embroidery work that she could never finish, while yawning as she liked.

The huge and plump lynx squatted on the eaves, looking down at the living creatures in its territory with a treacherous look on its face.

Yun Chu turned around and left. No one in the family needed him.

Wenrou sent news that something had happened with Qibi Heli, but Yunchu didn't care. He felt that he should focus on the small things now, rather than the big things that were useless.

No matter how beautiful the design at the national level is, if the emperor does not use it, it is a secret investment. No matter how beautiful the suggestion is, if the departments controlled by the big bosses do not accept it, it is being selfish.

The romantic character of the Tang people and the bragging nature of the Old Qin people are destined to do things that are high-ranking and argumentative.

They can argue for half a year about what posthumous title a dead person should have, they can argue for half a year about adding a title to the emperor, and they will argue for a whole year about whether Li Zhi needs to go to Mount Tai to be enshrined.

But no one noticed that in May, the peppers in the pepper fields of Donggong had already grown a lot of green peppers.

When Yun Chu entered the East Palace, the guards at the palace gate seemed extremely lazy. Yun Chu did not see Xiao Siye. He was the only palace guard who was willing to fulfill his duties. However, I heard that he was following Xue Rengui now and was one of the men under old Xue's account. Although the Ming Ya General's status is lower than when he was in the East Palace, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this person will have a bright future in the future.

The peppers in the East Palace grew very well. Yunchu found some slender peppers that resembled two vitex branches and picked them casually.

A palace official said that Li Hong was listening to Shangguan Yi's lecture at this time, so he held a bag of chili peppers in his lapel and stood outside the study for a while to listen to Shangguan Yi's lecture.

At this time, Shangguan Yi was telling Li Hong the allusion of the hen Si Chen, and he shook his head. Will a person be executed because he is hanging an elephant? You can tell this person from his daily speech and behavior. Should he die or not?

Li Hong seemed to be listening attentively, but in fact he was a good student who thought he had an eye for all directions and an ear for everything. He discovered Yun Chu when Yun Chu walked into the study courtyard.

Therefore, after telling Shangguan Yi that he was in need of urination, he left the room full of students and continued to attend class with Shangguanyi. He hurriedly found Yunchu in the shade of the main hall.

“Shouldn’t the peppers have to turn red to be edible?”

"You know what the heck, stir-fried green peppers with black beans and pork belly are the best food in the world."

"You can't eat too much. After I ate chili pepper with you last time, it was so miserable when I went out. You didn't tell me that after eating that food, both ends will suffer."

Yun Chu said irritably: "Are you going to eat or not?"

"Eat!" Li Hong replied decisively.

See you tomorrow
