Tang's dining table

Leaving Luoyang, you will see the Heluo Wilderness in front of you.

Like Qinchuan in the Eight Hundred Miles, Heluo Wilderness is also a rare and prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty, but the people here are a bit simple and not as smart as the Tang people in the suburbs of Chang'an.

The frozen fields were full of winter wheat lying on the ground. Some animals that were not walking fast would lower their heads and take a few bites, which made the farmers guarding the roadside cry without tears.

In fact, it is not a big problem if the frozen leaves are chewed by animals. As long as the roots are still there, winter wheat will still grow when spring begins.

The serious problem is that the wheat that has been trampled by the cavalry may not be able to grow new seedlings from the hard ground next year.

The cavalry are not very willing to take the main road, mainly because there are too many gravels on the road, which is very unfriendly to the horseshoes and horseshoes of the war horses.

Yun Chu didn't know if it was true that Cao Cao's war horse trampled the wheat seedlings and was seeking death. Anyway, when Li Ji's chariot rumbled through the wheat field, the old guy couldn't see the slightest trace of guilt on his face.

He is now strictly carrying out his duties as a marching commander. In his free time, he hangs out with a group of soldiers, and from time to time a hearty laugh comes from the crowd.

A few days before departure, Yun Chu said that his plan would not work, and the old man became a little angry. Since then, he has never approached Yun Chushang to discuss the arrangement of the marching commander's sequence.

"Other old men will fall hopelessly in love with young women at this time, just like an old house on fire that gets out of control.

Old man Li Ji fell in love with making great achievements at this age, so he was stubborn and could not listen to good advice, let alone being criticized by others. "

Riding a horse in early winter is not comfortable, but it is better than being squeezed into a carriage with Yu Xiurong and Yun Luan. If only Yu Xiurong is in the car, the atmosphere will be very good. With Yun Luan in the car, no matter how warm the atmosphere is, it will be ruined by this naughty child. Clean and tidy.

Therefore, Yunchu chose to ride a horse.

The person walking beside him was Wen Wen. After hearing Yun Chu's metaphor, he felt it was inappropriate and shook his head: "Although Li Ji is old enough, if he wants a certain woman, there is still no problem. The night before leaving Luoyang, the old guy booked the Chunfeng Tower, which is famous in Luoyang. I heard that that night, the number of autumn chrysanthemums in the pot in front of the old guy was the largest. Even if you go there, you may not be able to beat Old Man Li. .

Therefore, his pursuit is at a higher level than other old men. "

Yun Chu sneered and said, "If he were ten years younger, there wouldn't be so many young ladies liking him, right?"

"It's possible!" Gentle nodded heavily and continued: "High position, power, wealth, and being old enough. These are my advantages!"

Just when Yun Wen Wen was slandering Li Ji in the wilderness, Li Si took Yun Jin, Wen Huan, and Di Guang Si very busy.

How much money they can make this time, Li Si thinks, depends on the hard work of the four of them.

There are many people in today's Tang Dynasty who can afford one hundred thousand guan in the world. However, they are willing to give 100,000 guan to four children headed by a thirteen-year-old girl and let them toss them to their heart's content. Yun Chu is the only person who has done this.

This transaction was actually a fool's deal. Pei Xingjian's front army prepared its own food and grass, which did not consume much local resources. The same was true for Xue Rengui's central army. However, between the central army and the rear army, there were still More than 30,000 people need to eat, drink and have diarrhea. Li Si's business target this time is these 30,000 people.

Rice, flour, grain and oil have long been brought here from Chang'an, as well as a wide variety of daily necessities, including all kinds of jewelry that women like, not to mention that Li Si also spent a lot of money to bring them from the Chang'an Grand Canteen. More than thirty chefs.

When the army moves away, they will follow it; when the army stops, they will immediately start their business.

Li Si stood on the carriage shaft and looked back. Yun Jin, Wen Huan, and Di Guangsi were crowded into a small open-top two-wheeled carriage.

Although the weather cannot be said to be bone-chilling, it is still a big test for these three young boys.

Yun Jin, who was pushed to the front by Wen Huan, had snot running out of her nose.

Li Si jumped on the pony carriage, wiped away the snot that slipped out of Yun Jin's nose, and held Yun Jin's hand to warm it. Wen Huan looked at her little hand, which was also red from the cold, and couldn't help but reach out to Li Si.

Di Guangsi took advantage of the amount of meat on his belly and consciously put his hands on his belly, hissing and enjoying the pleasure of warming his hands.

Li Si ignored poor Wen Huan and said directly: "Didn't it say that the person setting up the tent for the cook must go twenty miles first?"

Wen Huan said pitifully: "The cooks think the carriage is bumpy..."

"You are a dead man. They don't like the bumpiness, so why don't you let their carriage run faster?

The salary of five guan per month is higher than that in Chang'an. What are they dissatisfied with? If they hadn't left Chang'an, do you think I would be able to appreciate their ability? "

Wen Huan said aggrievedly: "That's not what you said when you tricked them into coming."

Li Si said angrily: "Now, now, now, since we don't owe them wages, they have to work hard for me. If someone is really unwilling, just let him go back to Chang'an."

Seeing that Li Si was angry, Yun Jin said, "Aye said that we should be considerate of the poor."

Li Si held Yun Jin's hand and said, "Aye is right. We need to be considerate of the poor. However, the key to understanding the poor is not to default on their wages and to pay them enough. As for doing hard work, they This is what you do, how can you make money if you don’t work hard?”

Yun Jin sheepishly took her hand out of Li Si's, but Li Si held it firmly and put on a pair of velvet gloves hanging around her neck on Yun Jin.

Di Guangsi said carefully to the side: "You can't call Master Aye yet."

Li Siheng glanced at Di Guangsi and said, "Do you have any objections? What qualifications does a fool who doesn't even know how to wear a cotton hat and gloves do in winter to teach me a lesson?"

Di Guangsi licked his itchy ears and said impatiently, "I'm not cold even though I'm not a girl."

Li Si's eyebrows were raised: In what way are you better than me? Do you understand the positive and negative numbers? "

Wen Huan stretched out a palm and said proudly: "I figured it out."

Li Si's maid brought a cotton hat and gloves, which she disliked and dressed for Wen Huan and Di Guangsi. Finally, she put her long-eared hat on Yun Jin's head and said to the three of them: "It's better now." If you have time, the three of you should run around more and bring guards with you. Don't tell everything in person. You three are noble sons. Send the guards to tell them. If you talk to those people too much, they won't be afraid of you three. ”

Wen Huan stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips and said bitterly: "I have been doing so much hard work recently that I almost forgot that I am a noble man."

Yun Jin didn't say much. He pulled the reins and drove the light two-wheeled carriage towards the back. This time, he decided to drag those lazy guys to the front even if he was dragging.

Wen Wen watched her son grinning and running fast on a small carriage in the cold wind, and couldn't help but said to Yun Chu: "Can they do well?"

Yun Chu turned his head and looked at Wen Wen and said, "So what if it breaks?"

One sentence left Wen Wenwen speechless. It was indeed true. It was only a hundred thousand dollars. What's more, the money has now become real materials. So what if it was a mess? What I just asked He seems very poor, it's just a hundred thousand dollars, it's not like he can't afford to pay.

“One advantage of doing this is to cultivate children’s sense of money from an early age, telling them that money is a tool, and they will allocate the money through this transaction.

Know how to use money as a tool and know how to use money. By the way, let’s take a look at how wealth allocates itself and what happens after artificial intervention.

If the children can realize this this time, then even if this hundred thousand yuan is wasted, it is still worth it. "

Wen Wen let out a long sigh and said, "Otherwise, Lao Di and I will give you some extra restraints. What we gave you before might not be enough."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "How much is too much."

Just as the two were chatting and joking, Li Si's carriage came over. Yun Chu reined in the reins of the war horse and said to Li Si, who stuck out his face: "The army can march fifty miles in a day, and it can't be any less."

Li Si said with some disappointment: "The rest time is too short, and the time to sell things is also short. Also, I don't think we can use military rules to restrict those who are not soldiers."

Wen Wen smiled on the side and said: "In short, I just want to increase the time you have to buy things, and let more people come to buy your things?"

Li Si smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, yes."

Wen Wen pointed at Li Ji's battle lane, which was still rolling forward in the wilderness: "You should go to Ying Gong. He is the marching commander, and he is in charge of setting up camps."

Li Si smiled and thanked the gentle reminder, then turned around to look for Li Ji.

Yun Chu looked at Wen Wen and said, "You are making it more difficult for the children's small business."

She softly sighed and said: "The two of us couldn't talk to Mr. Ying well. Within a few words, Mr. Ying's habit of being a soldier broke out. My parents didn't mess with him, but he fell into his mother's arms and I was so fucked. Damn it, the old guy wants to be my father all the time, it’s not worthwhile even thinking about it.

It’s just the right time for the little girl to go. She is still a princess who is the queen’s own daughter, and her rank is the same as that empty shell Sikong. Even if the little girl cheats, it is still a matter between two first-rank officials of the Tang Dynasty. With you, the fourth-rank official, and me, the official The fifth-grade miscellaneous fish has nothing to do with it. "

Yun Chu nodded repeatedly, an empty shell of a first-grade Sikong, a first-grade princess that no one loved, did have some intention of meeting a good talent.

Li Ji is used to being a general manager, a general, and a commander who always keeps his word. Now he is a marching commander with 10,000 people. He is really not used to it. He always forgets his identity and points out to Yun Chu and the others. If you find that you have exceeded your authority, you will curse and scold.

So, Li Ji, who was wrapped in fur and drowsy, saw a little girl with a gold ring on her head and dressed like a tomboy jumping onto his chariot. He opened his eyes wide and said: "You Whose little lady is so rude?"

Li Si stood in the carriage, put his hands on his hips and said: "I, Aye, am the current emperor, my mother is the current queen, my brother is the prince, my brother is the king of various kinds, my master is Yunchu, my adoptive mother is Yu Xiurong, my name is Li Si, she is Princess An Ding of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Ji listened to Li Si's self-introduction with great interest, and curled his lips playfully: "Oh, you are the princess that His Majesty and the Queen don't want... I heard that your mother doesn't want you, so you plan to To live as the daughter-in-law of the Yun family and spend the rest of your life living and waiting to die?"

Li Ji was still waiting for the sharp-tongued little girl to retort, but he didn't hear any movement. When he opened his eyes, he found that the little girl was crying so hard...

"Li Ji is a mean guy. As long as he is here, Yun Chu will not be able to cause any trouble and will take care of my rear army obediently."

The chariot Li Zhi was riding in was as wide as a house, and it was as warm as spring inside, like a beautiful candy box.

Queen Wu Mei in the candy box said puzzledly: "Since Your Majesty is not at ease with Yun Chu, why do you still give him such an important task?"

Li Zhi sat down against the carriage, spread his legs, touched the giant bear's head with one hand, and said with some emotion: "It really makes my head hurt if my subordinates can do it to a certain extent.

I only have one expectation for one thing, but Yun Chu can achieve eight. This is why I trust Yun Chu, but at the same time be wary of Yun Chu.

To be honest, Yunchu has no intention of rebellion, not before, not now, and I don't think there will be in the future.

This is a very strange feeling. I can feel a surging power to do things from Yunchu, but I don't feel the threat brought by this power.

But, I am an emperor, and emperors are born to doubt everything. My father once told me that the emperor's magnanimity can only appear under the condition of absolute control.

The book "Emperor Fan" that my father left to me devoted a lot of space to the issue of suspicion and trust.

Among them, my father said that trust is a kind of risk. The greater the trust, the higher the risk. I have always followed my father's words. Therefore, I did not stop me when dealing with the kings and the Changsun family.

Yunchu is different. Ever since he gave me all the hundreds of millions of dollars he got in Liaodong, I have never doubted that he would be corrupt.

Ever since he managed Chang'an into a prosperous place that I could never have imagined, I have never doubted his talent.

Ever since he opened the city wall of Chang'an and cast a huge amount of copper coins into twenty-four golden bulls, I felt that doubting this man's loyalty was an insult to my conscience.

Yunchu did many, many outrageous things in Chang'an, and I know all of them. I even know that he has done many things that would warrant his beheading. However, I am not angry at all, and even complain about this guy's behavior. Why don't you call me when you are doing these things, so that I can also see that splendid scene...

Queen, I know that you want to get involved in Chang'an, and I have no objection to this. The problem is that you have to be able to get involved.

The city of Chang'an is a strange place to you, but I am different. I have been paying attention to Chang'an since Yunchu took over Chang'an, and I have watched it change from a city to a place that can pour countless efforts into the Tang Dynasty. Place, with today's Chang'an, I feel that I am an extremely powerful existence.

Therefore, you can try to plot Chang'an without breaking the existing rules of Chang'an. Just like Li Jingxuan and others did, try to send people to Chang'an to truly understand Chang'an.

I believe that after you thoroughly understand Chang'an, you will have a heartfelt respect for this city and feel that destroying this city is equivalent to destroying the most precious gem in the world. "

Wu Mei pushed the huge bear head away impatiently, looked at Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that Yun Chu will do evil based on this?"

Li Zhi laughed and said: "Chang'an City is the focus of Yun Chu's lifelong efforts. If I regard Chang'an as the center of the Tang Dynasty, in Yun Chu's eyes, Chang'an City is an existence beyond life.

Destroying Chang'an was tantamount to taking Yun Chu's life. He wanted the city to be destroyed more than anyone else. "

Wu Mei sighed and said: "So Your Majesty will only set up obstacles for Yun Chu, but will not tie his feet with ropes?"

Li Zhi chuckled and said, "This is one of the few pleasures I have as an emperor."
