Tang's dining table

The big families are teaching their children how to save their lives, and the small families are teaching their children how to make money.

Lu Zhaolin had been taught this by Lao Lu, and when he saw Yun Chu again, there was no longer any hatred in his eyes, but more respect.

The fifteen-year-old boy stood in the cold wind of early spring with his clothes fluttering. Apart from his cheeks that were blown red by the cold wind, his eyes were dark and shiny, full of energy.

He is now a supervisor of Chang'an Imperial College and is preparing to take the Jinshi examination this year.

In previous years, the imperial court only accepted twelve or three scholars, but this year is different. I heard that the quota will exceed one hundred.

The Tang Dynasty originally had no shortage of officials, but it was just because a shocking rebellion broke out in Hebei last year, and more than 237 officials were implicated.

Being implicated means that these people have become prisoners.

That's right, all of them have become prisoners. There is no distinction between principal culprit and accomplice. They have only one fate, and that is beheading!

The person who completed this large-scale killing was the most feared figure in Baiqisi—Zhang Donghai.

Originally, there was a shortage of officials in Hebei, and they could just be dispatched from other places. Unfortunately, few officials were willing to go to the eastern Hebei region, which was now the focus of the emperor and empress.

After Lu Zhaolin discussed with his grandfather, he felt that this was a good opportunity. If he could become an official in Hebei at this time, as long as he did not make any mistakes, becoming an official in Hebei would be a good opportunity for rapid promotion.

The Lu family was originally from Fanyang, Youzhou. Nowadays, the Lu family has very close ties with the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. Other wealthy people who go to Hebei to serve as officials are afraid of being purged by the emperor, but the Lu family is not afraid.

Therefore, more than thirty children of the Lu family participated in this year's scientific examination. They were preparing to enter the officialdom through a formal method of obtaining scholars from the imperial dynasty, which could be regarded as winning the emperor's favor.

Lu Zhaolin was not worried at all about getting the Jinshi. He felt that it was a matter of course that he passed the Jinshi. ’

Now, what he lacked was how to be a good official, so through Xu Jingzong's recommendation, he came to Wannian County to serve as an official.

The name Guanzhengshi is not a formal official title, but a saying from Honglu Temple. In the past, Guanzhengshi were usually foreigners, so it was very strange for Lu Zhaolin to come in.

Since Lu Zhaolin came in through formal procedures, Yun Chu would naturally not make things difficult for him and let Lu Zhaolin follow Master Liu to observe the government.

Spring in Chang'an came suddenly. The ground temperature in the fields has not yet risen, but the plowing season has arrived.

Wannian County has not grown cotton for three years. In the past three years, most of the crops grown nearby have been beans and other miscellaneous grains. Therefore, the soil fertility has almost recovered and cotton can be grown again.

Yun Chu is a very vengeful person. The farmers who made him unable to grow cotton three years ago will also be unable to grow cotton this year.

Those who honestly would rather be harmed and follow Yunchu's footsteps to plant cotton can naturally continue to plant cotton this year. Moreover, before planting cotton, the government has already distributed this year's food.

The profits from growing cotton are astonishing. As long as farmers grow cotton for three years, they can distance themselves from those who don't grow cotton. This distance is of course the distance between rich and poor.

In the society of the Tang Dynasty, growing food could only ensure food and clothing when the harvest was good. The starting point of growing cotton was food and clothing. As long as the cotton grew and successfully grew, it was generally five times better than growing food.

Lu Zhaolin naturally discovered this and asked Chief Liu why he divided a group of people into two groups.

Director Liu said: "This is not out of likes and dislikes, or out of revenge, but to improve the credibility of the government.

In case the next time the government asks the people to do something, they will not obey. "

"Is this what the people can do, but they can't know about it?"

When Chief Liu heard what Lu Zhaolin said, he knew that this person had different governance concepts from the county magistrate.

Because the knowledge in Lu Zhao's neighbor's house is different from the knowledge in the county's side. The knowledge in the county's side is - the people can make it happen, and it's up to them! If you can't do it, know it.

Even though the county magistrate's knowledge was only two points different from that of the Lu family, the way the government treated the people had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Lu Zhao's neighbor's knowledge is that if the people can do what they want, let them do whatever they want, but they cannot be allowed to know the truth.

Yunchu's knowledge here is that the people can be given some freedom. If the people don't know how to be free, they must be taught to exercise their rights.

The county magistrate punitively treats the people differently, which is actually a process of "the people can make it known". It is useless to talk to the people about the truth. Only after they have experienced a profound lesson can they accept the lesson and understand the truth.

The same sentence, with just different phrasing, has two completely different meanings, and there seems to be no room for change.

Therefore, Master Liu originally planned to bring Lu Zhaolin around to see if his family could have some contact with the Lu family.

Now it seems that this is no longer necessary.

Most noble families generally value their knowledge more than their lives, so there is no room for change.

Naturally, Yunchu didn't know what Master Liu was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu. Today was the day when Yun's caravan from the Western Regions left home. Yu Xiurong was at home ordering generals to go on an expedition. He wanted to go back and have a look.

After arranging the cotton breeding and farming matters, he hurried home. The rest was the business of Chief Liu and the subordinate officials of Wannian County.

Nowadays, Wannian County already has a mature team. It doesn't matter whether Yunchu is there or not. He is now in the county government and just acts as a beast to ward off evil spirits.

It is used by officials at all levels of the county government and subordinate staff to use it with peace of mind.

As long as people find that the county magistrate is still fishing in his own official office, no one will worry about his own safety.

This is not a joke. Anyone who has heard the news from Luoyang will not laugh.

In the past, when the imperial court dealt with officials, they always looked for bad horses to deal with. Now it is different. As long as something is wrong, they will kill the horses together without mercy.

Yun Chu returned home, and officials at all levels also went to do their own errands. Chief Liu led Lu Zhaolin out of Chang'an City with obvious emotions and went to lay out cotton fields outside the city.

The flow of people on Zhuque Street is endless, and the willow trees on both sides of the road have also bloomed some buds, swaying softly in the wind.

Compared with the dark blue pines and cypresses near those mansions, willows always have a little more tenderness.

Twenty-four golden bulls lie on Zhuque Street, shining in the sun, showing the affluence of the city.

Today's Chang'an people have long been accustomed to the existence of these twenty-four golden cows. Only those local turtles from other places will guard each golden cow, eager to take a piece away with their teeth.

Yin Erhu hurried along the long street towards Jinchangfang. He could hardly catch up with his wife's call.

Until now, Yin Erhu didn't understand why he was on the list of people leaving Chang'an to go shopping.

Yin Erhu thought that he was a dead soldier of the Yun family many years ago, and he did indeed do many things that a dead soldier should do. However, he did so many things that should be done to death, but he remained unscathed.

After entering the cafeteria to work, he thought he might be a small shopkeeper in the cafeteria. In five years, he was naturally promoted from the small shopkeeper to the big shopkeeper in charge of purchasing, and he began to have doubts about his identity. Very doubtful.

No one uses dead soldiers like this.

In his understanding, a dead dog should be a vicious dog raised by his master. He is fed and fed well on weekdays. Once the master needs to bite someone, he will be released as a dead dog.

Since becoming the big shopkeeper of purchasing, Yin Erhu found that he seemed to have really become the big shopkeeper of purchasing, because he did things like purchasing far more often than he did things like dead soldiers.

After arriving at Jinchangfang Cafeteria, we took a detour to Jinchangfang Elementary School. Today was the school's holiday, so Madam borrowed the school to arrange Yun's business plan for the year.

There are now twenty big shopkeepers in the Yun family. When Yin Erhu came in, he found that some of the big shopkeepers had not arrived yet, and his wife was nowhere to be seen. He breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea. It took three drinks in a row to quench my thirst.

The second fat shopkeeper in the big cafeteria always smiled at him, and Yin Erhu frowned and turned away. Everyone knew that this fat female shopkeeper, who was nearly forty years old, wanted to find someone with the same relationship within the Yun family. A man of similar status to her got married, and the powerful marriage gave birth to a child like Cui, the head of the Yun family, who had a higher status, or Liu Yi.

Liu Fang, the chief shopkeeper of the anti-virus drug workshop, slapped Yin Erhu with her shoulder and said, "Er Fei is looking at you."

Yin Erhu drank tea and said, "I have a woman."

Liu Fang chuckled and said: "There is a woman in your family, but that woman is not your wife. The second fat man said that as long as you and I are a couple and she becomes your wife, your woman will be a famous concubine.

I also heard that the second fat man has begged the madam many times. If the madam wants to marry you, you won't be able to escape.

However, the second fat man has made a lot of money in these years. If you agree, I will let me, Aye, arrange it so that you can win the golden pig. "

Yin Erhu looked at Liu Fang and said, "Why don't you marry me?"

Liu Fang looked at Er Fei greedily and said, "People think that I am not strong enough and I don't look like a heroic man of the Tang Dynasty."

When the two were disparaging each other, Cui and Liu Yi came in. As soon as they came in and sat at the top, they heard Liu Yi cough and say: "Are everyone here? If everyone is here, let's have a meeting."

Ms. Cui said dissatisfiedly on the side: "There are only twenty people in total. Only sixteen have come. Can you not see that there are still four missing?"

Liu Yi was not angry. He glanced down, sat up straight and said, "You will be punished when they come."

Cui is the chief steward of the inner house, and Liu Yi is the chief steward of the outer house. Generally speaking, the status of the chief steward of the inner house is higher than that of the chief steward of the outer house.

Therefore, whenever Liu Yi showed any flaws, Cui would definitely pick it up and reprimand Liu Yi, the general manager of the foreign house, to show his special status.

Yin Erhu has been waiting for the king.

However, the lady came, but the prince still did not come. He listened to the lady simply and simply arranging various business affairs for this year, but his mind kept thinking about Xiu Niang who stayed at home.

If this year's mission remains the same as in previous years, is it really possible to leave a child for Xiu Niang?
