Tang's dining table

There is nothing wrong with Cui's female beauty. Whether it is the coats, underwear, shoes and socks of the Yunchu brothers and sisters, now they are all made by Cui. Even the boxer briefs designed by Yunchu, Cui's production is far better than Yunchu's. The leather pants first made in the Western Regions were ten thousand times better.

People in the Tang Dynasty did not wear underpants, and neither men nor women wore them. The more sophisticated people would wrap a crotch cloth around their crotch, the kind worn by Japanese sumo wrestlers.

If you're not particular about it, it's cool to put it in neutral.

This woman could also settle accounts and write, and coupled with the fact that she was a good female celebrity, Yun Chu felt that the six hundred copper coins he had spent to win her over was really worth it.

Even when it comes to cooking, no matter how much Cui wants to help or how carefully she cooks, she can only eat the food she cooks in the end, and the Yunchu siblings would rather go hungry than take a bite.

Therefore, when Yunchu made the mutton noodles so delicious, the people who were working in the yard were not very willing to work. They all stretched their necks and asked in a low voice why the family's tea and rice were so delicious. .

Naha doesn't care. As long as there is delicious food, she can still eat with great concentration even if wolves are watching.

Yunchu couldn't help it. He held his rice bowl and asked Cui in a low voice: "What are they doing? Didn't you pay them?"

Ms. Cui took a bite of the noodles and said, "The wages are very good. Not only half of the village's idlers are here to earn wages."

Yun Chu frowned and said, "If that's the case, why are they still pointing fingers? Are they scolding us for being rich and unkind?"

Ms. Cui shook her head and said, "I came from a wealthy family with some knowledge. Aren't you going to lose your taste after eating the food cooked by your husband?

I am like this, let alone these miserable people, what we eat is not the same thing as what they eat. "

After Mrs. Cui said that, she put down her rice bowl and smiled at the workers who were watching: "Aren't they all here after eating? You can only get two copper coins for doing extra work a day. Now you just look at the master's house." If you don’t work and eat, do you really want to get money for nothing?”

The villagers were laughed at and scolded by Ms. Cui and felt that it was inappropriate, so those who cleaned the wells continued to clean the wells, and those who tidied the courtyards tidied the courtyards. The lady in charge said well that as long as the courtyard is tidied up as soon as possible, everyone can There will be a reward of five coins at that time.

Most people in Fangshi make a living by working and doing business in West Market. Nowadays, you can make money without leaving Fangshi. Everyone does not want to miss this good opportunity, let alone anger the owner of this family, so as not to do it again in the future. With such a good business, people don't want themselves.

As far as I could see, these people were doing a really good job, they were quick and careful and there was nothing to fault.

Naha finished three bowls of rice in one breath, put down her bowls and chopsticks and said to Yun Chu: "I don't like Chang'an City, I don't like the people here, and I don't like the food they cook."

Yun Chu also put down his empty bowl and said to Naha: "Chang'an is a special city. We need to adapt to it instead of letting this city adapt to us. There is no other way. After leaving the Western Region, we brothers and sisters want to have fun everywhere. , it becomes a delusion.”

"It's easy to talk about other things. Brother, why do you think the food they cook is so terrible?"

Yun Chu glanced at Ms. Cui opposite, who was busy cooking, and snorted: "In the eyes of us brothers and sisters, they are just a bunch of barbarians when it comes to eating."

Regarding what Yun Chu said, Ms. Cui, a native of Chang'an, felt that it was very reasonable. However, she immediately said: "Lang Jun, our family is short of manpower. You can't be busy in the kitchen all day. There is one less person in the family." He is also a groom, who can lock and close our house and raise horses. We still lack a cook, a helper, a personal maid, a book boy to run errands for you, and two rough maids responsible for sweeping.

If the husband wants to settle some property in Chang'an, our family will be short of a housekeeper, a bookkeeper, and two servants to look after the house and the courtyard. "

Yun Chu looked at Mrs. Cui and said, "You used to be the head wife of the Qin family. If your family lacks these people, how did you get them?"

Mrs. Cui sighed and said: "Of course, they are dispatched from the Zhuangzi at home. They are all people who know their roots and are easy to assign.

Our family is different. There are only two masters in the family, you and my wife. There is no family property or tribe in Chang'an. Although there is no shortage of money, it is still very difficult to find so many servants, isn't it? No one can buy it, but after buying it, you don't know what they were before.

Besides, basically no slaves who can be sold by their masters are good. "

Yun Chu raised his head and thought for a moment and said: "Then I don't care, this is your business. Even if you miss the point and do it wrong, you are still more reliable than me. If you need money, you have the say. As for others, Yeah, it's all up to you.

You said today that you are the chief manager of our family's inner house. "

Mrs. Cui pointed at the men and women working in the yard and whispered: "Actually, I'm already selecting the ones who work carefully, have good looks, and have clear eyes. I'm planning on concubine."

Yun Chu looked around and found that it was already dark, but these people were still holding oil lamps and still working with torches. He asked in confusion: "Are they not slaves? Can they be bought and sold at will?"

Ms. Cui said with a smile: "Most of these people's families are registered craftsmen, subordinate to the Shaofu Supervisor, General Supervisor, Military Supervisor, and of course the Ministry of Industry. Although they are paid, you also know that the wages are not much. .

These people do not have farmland at home and make a living by working. Work is not available all the time, so many people live their lives with a full meal and a hungry meal.

The rich and powerful families in the Tang Dynasty loved their servants the most. Emperor Taizong rewarded Princess Wencheng who married Tibetan Princess Wencheng with 500 families of craftsmen at once.

Therefore, recruiting people from among these people with good foundation is very cost-effective and safe.

Anyway, our family must not find a trafficker to buy unwanted slaves. It will ruin the family tradition and be detrimental to the husband's career. "

Yunchu felt that what Cui said was very reasonable, and once again decided to push all the things that were not suitable for him to Cui.

When the moon came out, these workers finally heard Cui's order to get off work, and they lined up to come to Cui to collect their money.

The copper coins that Yunchu exchanged for were of very good quality, and they were all yellow and clear. Therefore, the people who received the money did not complain much. However, many people hoped that Cui, the chief steward of the inner house, could exchange the copper coins in his hands for food, so that They will work harder tomorrow.

Yunchu's tent was set up again, but the tent was too small. Yunchu asked Cui to take Naha to live in it, while he laid the floor in the hall.

The cold wind in Chang'an at the end of November was biting, and the encounter during the day also gave Yun Chu a feeling of freezing coldness.

Chang'an and Xianyang are only sixty miles apart. In the past, a man named Shang Yang who lived in Xianyang once said: Only when a treacherous person becomes an official can the people abide by the rules and regulations, and a good person becomes an official will only make the people get close to this person.

What a country needs is for people to abide by rules and regulations, not for people to get close to a certain person. Therefore, it is better for a traitor to be an official than a good person.

It sounds a little unconscionable to say this, but officials of all dynasties have regarded this sentence as a golden rule.

Being a craftsman in the Tang Dynasty meant a life of hard work. Being a farmer not only required hard work but also sacrificed your life to fight. Being a businessman meant that your family had nothing to save except money. Just what Yun Chu had experienced during the day was enough. It shows that in Chang'an, just having money is not enough.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, there are four ways to survive, and being an official is the brightest way, there is no other way.

But besides being an official, Yun Chu also wants to have the life he needs.

Just like what he once told Naha during the day - Chang'an will not take the initiative to get used to you, but needs you to take the initiative to get used to this city.

Since there is no life that Yunchu needs in this city, it should be a very good idea to take the initiative to create such a life.

Therefore, after Yun Chu thought about it for half the night, he suddenly realized that if he was a student of the four majors, could he strive for the position of head of the school?

Anyway, after I stepped down from the position of senior league official, my first official job was-Secretary and Director of the Street Working Committee

Grid management work is very familiar to Yunchu. At this time, Chang'an has exactly one hundred and ten concrete grids. In other words, Chang'an now has exactly one hundred and ten squares. city.

It is said that the earliest Chang'an city plan had 108 districts and cities, but only 110 were actually put into use.

Jinchangfang is under the jurisdiction of Guangming Lane. This lane is very small, mainly because Jinchangfang is so big that the length of Guangming Lane is the square of Jinchangfang. They are not officials, they are just officials.

The Tang Dynasty was very strict in managing officials with high grades, and had an indifferent attitude towards officials who did not meet the grade.

Yunchu felt that there should be a loophole here that he could exploit.

Because, judging from Yunchu’s understanding of street work, the district chiefs and officials of the Tang Dynasty are far from doing their jobs well. The most important thing is that these people obviously have great power in their hands, but they foolishly I begged Yun Chu for a few copper coins...

There were 63 large and small companies, 729 shops, and 68,727 permanent residents on the street that Yun Chu managed before. Street trees... advertising spaces...

In the past, these familiar strings of numbers that could be spoken casually have now become smoke and clouds. They are very close yet seem far away.

So, when Yunchu was about to fall asleep, he felt that his idea was really good.

First, he wanted to buy some family property, but he couldn't do it too obviously. If there was the slightest disturbance, he would encounter a giant crocodile like Cheng Yaojin who would eat him alive.

In the hierarchical world of the Tang Dynasty, the wealth owned by an individual without family support or official position is nothing more than meat that others put here for you.

Yunchu didn't think much about money. Ever since he came to this world, he had the courage to come back after losing all his money.

This kind of courage is not Li Bai's drunken arrogance, but a kind of real self-confidence.

He needs wealth to support his dreams, but he does not need to personally control so much wealth.

So, the only way to achieve this goal is to hide wealth among the people.

Become the head of Guangmingli and the leader of Jinchangfang, and let yourself be firmly bound to everyone in Jinchangfang. If possible, become the true master of the entire Jinchangfang residents. long.
