Tang's dining table

Yunchu didn't feel too hungry in the morning.

So, I just ate a few steamed buns.

The buns are stuffed with sauerkraut and meat. The meat is very fat, so when you take a bite, the juices will splash everywhere. It is very satisfying.

He was originally in a good mood, but when he saw Fei Jiu's unruly pockmarked face, he immediately became angry.

Fei Jiu saw that the owner of the house looked wrong, so he grabbed a basket of steamed buns and ran away.

Yunchu had no choice but to say to Fei Si, who was standing next to him with a regretful look on his face: "It's not that your husband didn't help you, it's that he ran away before I could speak."

Fei Si said dissatisfied: "Lang Jun should catch him."

Yun Chu said angrily: "What are you going to do if you catch him? Overlord is using your bow forcefully?"

Fei Si chuckled and said, "Actually, as long as you have a child, Fei Jiu won't be able to run away."

Yun Chu looked at Fei Si's body, which was as round as Hua Xiong's, and said, "Are you sure you can still give birth?"

Fat Si wanted to speak, but Ms. Cui slapped her on the head with her backhand and said, "My husband is easy to talk to, so you just slap your nose and face, right? Who allowed you to say such shameless words in front of my husband?"

Fat Si drooped his head and stopped talking.

Yun Chu sighed and said, "Stop fighting. I can't see it in the first place. If I beat you stupidly again, our family won't be able to survive?"

When Mrs. Cui saw Yu Xiurong coming out of the house, she yelled and cursed at Fei Si, "Bring over Madam's porridge quickly."

After driving away Fei Si, he stood up and helped Yu Xiurong sit down and said, "The eldest lady of the Yu family has twice invited my wife to go to the Yu family to enjoy the flowers."

Yu Xiurong smiled and said: "In these nine cold days, what flowers can I enjoy? I won't go."

Mrs. Cui nodded and said: "Since Madam has even canceled the flower viewing party at my mother's house, then I should postpone all other people's parties now."

Yu Xiurong bit her bun and said to Yun Chu, "Husband, tell me, why don't the Di Renjie family, Wen Wen family, and Gongsun come and invite me to the party?"

Yun Chu ate the last bun and said, "The main reason is that I can't stand the way you sound. If it were me, I wouldn't invite you."

Yu Xiurong sighed and said: "What should come will not come, but a lot of what should not come will come."

Yunchu said to Mr. Cui, "Is Mr. Yu about to be killed by you?"

Ms. Cui shook her head and said, "My family has a big business. If they can't succeed in the silk and satin business, they start doing the linen business. They won't be able to survive for a while. And with the Wu brothers helping them, it's hard to kill me."

Yun Chu said: "Why would the Wu family brothers help the Yu family?"

Cui said: "I heard that Xu Jingzong was the one who led the way, and a woman from the Yu family entered Wu Yuanshuang's house."

Yu Xiurong, who was eating, said: "The third sister of the Pianfang family."

Yun Chu added: "Wu Yuanshuang is now the young eunuch of the Shaofu Supervisor and manages many royal properties. If he is willing to help the Yu family, it will be very difficult for you to move the Yu family. "

Cui sighed and said: "It is not difficult to move the Yu family. The problem lies with the queen. I know that the queen does not get along with her two brothers. However, we are a family after all. If we do something to make the queen unhappy, The consequences are difficult to predict.”

Yun Chu smiled and said: "The problem lies with the Young Mansion Supervisor, not Wu Yuanshuang. If you think you can continue to move the Yu family, then go ahead."

Yu Xiurong shook his head resolutely and said: "I won't take revenge. This time I have already harmed the weakest third sister in the family. If I continue, the Yu family will still throw out some people who had some friendship with me in the past.

This kind of revenge is meaningless if they are the ones injured. "

Yun Chu looked at Yu Xiurong and said, "Can you really bear it?"

Yu Xiurong nodded and said: "If you can bear it, it's not a big deal. I'm still young. I have plenty of time to wait for the opportunity."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "The emergence of cotton textile workshops has begun to impact the mulberry and linen industry in Chang'an. Although the current situation is not very obvious, after cotton is planted on a large scale in Chang'an, people will become accustomed to wearing cotton. Not sackcloth.”

After Yun Chu finished speaking, he looked at Cui with a smile.

Ms. Cui nodded and said, "I can't say for sure about other places, but growing mulberry and hemp near Chang'an will definitely be affected."

Yunchu said again: "I'm not telling you to lure the Yu family to grow hemp, but I want you to lure them to buy hemp."

Ms. Cui frowned and said, "If the price of hemp in our family is too high and we end up collecting a bunch of hemp from the boss, wouldn't there be nowhere to go?"

We want to take revenge on the Yu family, but the premise of this revenge must be good for our family.

Otherwise, such revenge of killing ten thousand enemies and damaging eight thousand oneself is not what a big family should do. "

Yunchu picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth, then said to Cui, "Liu Rengui needs a lot of hemp."

Yu Xiurong said: "Didn't he go to build a ship?"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Shipbuilding requires a lot of raw lacquer and hemp."

Ms. Cui said, "What's the price?"

Yun Chu stood up and said, "Go to the Imperial College and ask Liu Tao. He should know."

Yu Xiurong said: "Isn't Liu Tao unwilling to get involved with merchants? He gave up such a good opportunity in the cotton textile workshop, so why is he related to hemp again?"

Yun Chu sighed and said: "Because he is the eldest son, his younger brother Liu Rui has become the eighth-level commander of Baiqisi, while Liu Tao is living in the Imperial College without accomplishing anything. He did not take the big exam of the Imperial College this year. was selected.

The eldest son is not as good as his younger brother, which will affect the Liu family heirloom. Even if Liu Rengui is an incorruptible person, at this time, he has to think more about his eldest son. "

Yu Xiurong said "Oh" to express his understanding. This was another time Liu Rengui asked her husband to help Liu Tao, but she didn't say it clearly.

Yun Chu pointed out the breakthrough point very clearly. As for other things, Cui, the chief steward of the house, and Yu Xiurong were in charge. Yun Chu didn't care how well they could do it. Whether they succeeded or not was just a matter of practice.

Just like Yu Xiurong said, she is still young and has plenty of opportunities.

When Yun Chu went out, he saw Fei Jiu drinking tea with Fei Shi and Fei Ba, and seemed to be talking about Tuyuhun.

Seeing his laziness, leaning against the warm bed, Yun Chu felt his teeth itch with hatred.

Now, he was very sure that Fei Jiu was not an ordinary person at all. If he was really just a slave who was bought casually, how could he not fall behind when Tuguhun faced Zhang Jianzhi and Xu Jingye alone? of?

Judging from the current situation, Fei Jiu is the biggest beneficiary of Tuyuhun.

He has overfulfilled the tasks assigned to him by Yun Chu, bringing back more than 3,000 cattle and more than 300 wealthy Tuyuhun people.

The value of cattle is obvious. This kind of long-haired cattle has basically no other problems except that it can't stand the heat of Chang'an summer.

It is said that the Tubo people have begun to use this kind of long yak to plow the land, imitating the method of using oxen in the Tang Dynasty.

Unfortunately, the goods died on the ground. Now that these yaks have arrived in Chang'an, their only use is to be slaughtered for meat.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Xianqing, eating beef became the theme of this year's grand event in Jinchangfang.

Three thousand cows allowed the people of Chang'an to get addicted to beef. To this day, many people continue to visit the two large canteens, hoping to buy all kinds of beef products they have tasted.

The benefits of yak meat are great. At least, Liang Jianfang and Su Dingfang had eaten braised yak meat and visited the grand scene of selling beef in Jinchangfang. They quickly put the yak, a specialty of Tubo and Tuyuhun, into the army. Going to Tubo, Tuyuhun, is the first on the list of loot that must be collected.

Three thousand yaks and tens of thousands of dollars in profits are very attractive to many big bosses in the military.

As for the 337 wealthy Tuyuhun people, since they have arrived in Chang'an, they must be prepared to be commoners in the Tang Dynasty for the rest of their lives.

As for the various wealth they bring, they will soon turn into houses in Chang'an and some businesses that can't make much money at all.

How to exploit these poor foreigners, the officials of Liucao and Liangbu in Wannian County are experts.

They will never do anything robberies, and they will definitely maintain the dignity of the Tang Dynasty and let the wealth brought by these people be deposited in Chang'an City forever.

The Yun family bought a lot of servants, and just one Cui family was worth thousands. Now, plus Fei Jiu, basically Yun Chu made a lot of money personally.

Now, the only thing that bothers Yun Chu is that Fei Jiu is too lazy and not as dedicated as Cui.

Yun Chu felt that his ability to control people was acceptable, but when he met Fei Jiu, a person who seemed cheerful on the surface but actually wanted to die immediately, there was nothing he could do.

He would rather drink tea and gossip with the two slaves Fei Ba and Fei Shi who had failed to buy it from the Yun family than accept any important tasks.

Therefore, facing such people, Yun Chu's heart could only be the same as that of Yu Xiurong, feeling that he was still young and had plenty of time to slowly stimulate Fei Jiu's desire to work and struggle.

The first year of Xianqing was a year of reconciliation, at least that's what Yun Chu thought. In the past month, Datang was really very peaceful. There was no disaster or war anywhere.

Everyone seems to be in cat winter.

"This is one of the rare peaceful years in our Tang Dynasty."

When Yunchu returned to Wannian County Government Office, Wenwen stood up from the pile of documents, poured himself a bowl of tea, took a sip, and said to Yunchu with a smile.

"Since when is a month of peace also called peace?"

He smiled softly and said: "In the sixth year of Yonghui, there were 177 recorded disasters reported to Chang'an, and there were 21 rebellions in total, in the Western Regions, in the grasslands, in Liaodong, in Songzhou, In Bozhou, Lingnan, and Aizhou, the Tang army dispatched no fewer than 160 battles involving more than a thousand troops.

That's it, I haven't counted the popular uprisings and plagues that were concealed by local and state governments. If all of these were included, do you think people could still live in the sixth year of Yonghui?

It can be said that the reason why those historians boasted that the Yonghui period was a prosperous era was entirely because the Tang Dynasty used strong force to maintain such a seemingly prosperous era. "
