Tang's dining table

A long time ago, Yunchu's teacher told him that there are basically only three ways for a person to have enough wealth.

The first type is present at birth.

The second option is to steal.

The third option is to grab it.

Regardless of the first type, the second type of stealing is not stealing in the literal sense. The so-called stealing is to quickly complete primitive accumulation in a field that others have not yet discovered. It can also be said that this kind of stealing is creation. This is what Yun Chu wants to believe. a way to obtain wealth.

The third way is to grab it in a literal sense. The wealth in the world is there. If you don’t have a positive attitude to grab it, the wealth will not come to you automatically.

And there are many explanations for snatching...

Thieves, robbers, and prostitutes are ancient professions that have emerged since human wealth left collective ownership and became private ownership.

Before this, these professions did not exist. Everyone was restraining their desires, because if they did not restrain themselves, if someone took too much, someone would starve to death. If there were too many people to starve to death, the tribe would starve to death. perish.

Since I learned how to plant, there has been more food, and messy things have happened. Thieves, robbers, and prostitutes have emerged one after another.

In fact, this situation has not changed until now. Apart from subdividing these three professions, there is really no change at all.

On the way from the imperial city to the palace, Yun Chu kept studying this issue in his mind.

Therefore, when you think about something in your mind and see all kinds of people in the imperial city and palace, you will inevitably use these three identities to trap these people: thieves, robbers, and prostitutes.

Yunchu now holds the title of Marquis of Lantian, and is more or less a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty. He is treated like a fourth-grade official in terms of receiving courtesy. Therefore, most of the people he meets in the imperial city must pay tribute to him. He saluted and said hello.

When Li Yifu walked out of the palace wearing a purple robe, Yun Chu naturally wanted to salute him. Although this person was wearing a purple robe and had an impressive appearance, he only thought that this person was a prostitute.

"The extradition of Hu Shang to Chang'an was done well. We must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and we must not rely on our achievements to be arrogant."

Listening to the words spat out of Li Yifu's cherry mouth, Yun Chu bowed and said: "I sincerely follow the teachings of my master."

Li Yifu nodded with satisfaction and said: "This dispute between you and the Ministry of Revenue still needs a solution. You can't just rely on His Majesty's favor and ignore others. Otherwise, it will cause disaster."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "This is an errand arranged by His Majesty, and the proceeds will naturally be handed over to His Majesty. As for how to distribute it, it depends on His Majesty's wishes. How can the students be qualified to share His Majesty's things?"

Li Yifu looked at Yun Chu and saw that he had no intention of sharing the profits brought by Hu Shang to him, and his voice became obviously gloomy.

"Do you want to stay in Chang'an?"

Yun Chu bowed and said, "Exactly, my disciple is dull and can't do great things. I can only use my stupid skills to bring Chang'an back together like a foolish old man. I won't be in vain."

Li Yifu shook his head and said: "What a pity..."

Yun Chu didn't have much money, let alone his temptation. In the eyes of Li Yifu, Yun Chu was just a miser who had money but couldn't bear to spend it on him. Naturally, he didn't talk much about it and sighed to express his hatred for Tie. Bu Chenggang's arrogant attitude left.

If there were no big differences in Yun Chu's memory, Li Yifu would not be able to survive for a few years. However, at this time, when his arrogance was at its most arrogant, he had clearly made it clear that he did not regard him as his teacher. Unexpectedly, when I met him today, he came out acting like a teacher again.

It seems that this is the characteristic of a prostitute. As long as you have money, he will take the initiative to approach you with flirtatious eyes.

When entering the palace city from the imperial city, Yunchu was blocked in the city gate by a carriage again.

Nowadays, only Li Ji is the only official who enters the palace in a carriage. Xu Jingzong is so old, and the only preferential treatment he gets is the shoulder carriage.

Naturally, the carriage entering the palace cannot have a lid, so Li Jiming sitting on the carriage looked like a god.

The old guy has been a soldier all his life and fought in battles all his life. Military etiquette is the most important thing. Even when he is sitting on a carriage, he straightens his back and looks at Yunchu as if he were looking at a fat sheep. This is a standard look that only a gangster can have, full of aggression.

"Are you going to kill Xu Jingye in Hexi?"

Yun Chu said in surprise: "He didn't die? I watched him fall off the cliff."

Li Ji's pupils shrank obviously, and he looked at Yun Chu and said, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I have already left him to his own devices."

Yunchu said: "The purpose of sending him to Tuyuhun was to keep harassing Tubo. He was not allowed to run from Qinghai to Hexi to harm the Tang Dynasty. If he dares to leave Qinghai again, I won't cut off his limbs next time. I won’t let it go.”

Li Ji stared into Yun Chu's eyes and said, "I think so too. Why, do you have any plans to leave Chang'an and go to work in Hexi?

If so, tell me as soon as possible so that I can recommend you in front of His Majesty. "

Yun Chu seemed to have not heard these words and said to Li Ji indifferently: "Your Majesty, after the Eastern Capital Luoyang is built, the places east of Chang'an will have to support the Eastern Capital Luoyang. I'm afraid it will no longer be able to support Chang'an.

Under this situation, Hexi and the Western Regions are a place of life and death for Chang'an. As long as there is any trouble on this road, don't blame me for asking your Majesty to go to Hexi to rectify local security. "

Li Ji chuckled and said, "The generals also value Hexi and the Western Regions. If you do this, you are making an enemy of the generals."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "We are both ministers of the Tang Dynasty. We are actually from the same mountain. Why did the British Duke say the word "enemies"?"

Li Jidao said: "A country is a country, a family is a home, and only when there is a family can there be a country."

Yun Chu sneered and said, "Young Master, it's best to say this in front of His Majesty and see how His Majesty responds."

Li Ji waved his sleeves and shouted angrily: "You're rude!"

Yun Chu said: "Chang'an is where a certain family's hope lies. In this life, a certain family has no intention of doing anything else. They just want to make Chang'an the best city in the world. Anyone who harms Chang'an is an enemy of a certain family and will be punished." Death without a burial place.”

Li Ji didn't answer, but took a deep look at Yun Chu and asked the groom to drive away.

Yunchu stood in the city gate hole and watched the old robber go away. He sighed softly and was about to enter the palace, but was pulled in by a hand sticking out of the city gate hole.

Lao Huang handed Yunchu a cup of tea and said, "Wipe the foam from the corner of your mouth. One is an invincible commander, and the other is Lantian Marquis, who is capable and incompetent. They are putting on a show in front of me, the little chief of the palace gate bureau. It's embarrassing." Not ashamed?"

Yun Chu took a sip of tea and said, "I'm not putting on a show. I just say whatever I want."

Lao Huang laughed high-pitched and said: "Forget it, save your saliva, keep these words for your majesty, don't say them in front of me."

Yun Chu was shocked and said: "How dare you deceive Your Majesty?"

Lao Huang said with a smile: "Whether you were deceived or not, Your Majesty has his own opinion. Now I want to know if you still have the colored stones brought by the barbarians. I will send a bowl to my house later to give the women some good things." .”

Yun Chu said in surprise: "Haven't you always lived in the imperial city? Why do you suddenly have family members who need help?"

Lao Huang blushed slightly when Yun Chu said that, and said with a dry smile: "I slept with two women, and ended up getting pregnant, so I just went with the flow."

Yun Chu's disdainful look could no longer be concealed...

Lao Huang said angrily: "You have a family full of children, are you going to let me, Lao Huang, live alone until I grow old?"

Yun Chu frowned and said, "Isn't my brother turning sixty this year?"

Lao Huang nodded and said, "I'm only in my sixtieth year."

Yun Chu said: "Have you checked Lao He's pulse?"

Lao Huang said warily: "How do you say that?"

Yun Chu said: "There was once a blind old man who went hunting. At this time, a row of wild geese happened to fly in the sky. The blind old man opened his bow and nocked an arrow. With a whooshing sound, two wild geese were hit by the arrows and fell from the sky. Sorry, please tell me why?"

Lao Huang frowned and said, "Could it be that this blind old man is an outsider with the ability to listen to the wind and judge the position?"

Yunchu put down his teacup and walked out, saying, "It's because there are two strong people on the other side..."

While Old Huang was thinking, Yun Chu quickly entered the palace city. After walking a hundred or so steps, he heard Old Huang's dirty words coming from behind him.

Yun Chu was very sure that Lao Huang, who had suffered damage to his waist and kidneys in his early years, was not a thief, a robber, or a prostitute. He should have been stolen from his home by a thief.

After entering the palace city, Yun Chu could no longer run around and needed to be taken to Tai Chi Hall by Huangmen.

In the large square in front of the Taiji Hall, there was not even a tree except for a giant bear spreading a big cake.

The sun shines unscrupulously on the green glazed tiles of Tai Chi Hall, and the green glazed tiles are very beautiful.

In Huangmen's frightened eyes, Yunchu stepped on the giant bear spreading the pie with one foot. The sleeping giant suddenly woke up, howling in anger and looking around for the bastard who stepped on it.

When its eyes finally wandered to Yun Chu, a pair of dark little eyes were full of fear.

Then, without looking back, he jumped out in the direction of Tai Chi Palace with all four legs flying to the ground. This guy ran extremely fast, and his healthy hair shone in the sun. Because he ran so fast, his subcutaneous fat water Ripples generally rush back and forth.

Li Zhi, who was discussing military affairs in the Western Regions with Su Dingfang, suddenly found a giant bear running in in terror, and immediately hid behind him, shrinking its fat body into a small one, as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

Li Zhi snorted coldly and said to Su Dingfang: "Su Qing, Yun Chu's two hundred and fifty is here."

Su Dingfang held the wat board and said indifferently: "We haven't seen him for several years, and this person has become more and more domineering."

Li Zhi hid his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile: "The reason why Longyou Dao can be tax-free for three years is all thanks to this person. Let's tolerate him for a while. After a few years, I will deal with him again."

Su Dingfang saw that the emperor had no sincerity in punishing Yunchu, so he continued the previous topic: "I think it is imperative to increase the Anxi Army."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian, the two beloved ministers, thought that the rebellion of Ashina Duzhi and Li Zhelei was just a scabies disease. There was no need for the imperial court to send troops. As long as I sent them the Uighurs, the troops of various tribes in the river would be enough." Can you help me get rid of this problem?"

Su Dingfang said quickly: "Don't underestimate the enemy. Ashina Duzhi and Li Zhepu are indeed suffering from scabies. However, the Tubo behind them cannot be underestimated."
