There is a large population in Chang'an City, but most of the Chang'an people live outside Chang'an City.
Although Yunchu was determined to build Chang'an into a paradise city, what he valued most was always the farmers outside the city.
In Chang'an City, the government has been enforcing a strict prohibition - no cattle or sheep should be kept in the Ice House.
This means that the rich people in Chang'an City can do whatever they want in Chang'an City, and they can open silver houses, silk shops, pawn shops, iron factories, salt shops, fur shops, high-end restaurants, high-end inns, etc.
Plant a workshop, and even get involved in advanced industries such as finance, futures, stocks, etc.
However, they are not allowed to intervene in the industry that belongs to farmers.
Therefore, the grain stores, vegetable gardens, oil mills, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, and fresh fish supplies in Chang'an City have always been run by the surrounding farmers themselves.
In fact, what they supplied was not very good. Sometimes the quality was inferior and the price was high. Some merchants discovered business opportunities and thought they could buy things from farmers and resell them in Chang'an City because the supply was too large.
Yes, it is easy to make a fortune.
As a result, the government did not allow it.
The government did not say no to the merchants during the preparation stage, but waited until the farmers made a small fortune from the merchants before the government came forward to say no.
Therefore, merchants involved in these businesses suffered miserably, and some of them almost went bankrupt.
In the face of high profits, tryers emerged one after another, and then failed one after another. When the number of losers reached a certain number, the wealthy people in the city finally discovered that something was wrong.
Farmers and the government colluded with each other to make them, businessmen who wanted to monopolize people's livelihood resources, bankrupt.
After a few years, no one has any idea of doing business like this.
Therefore, every day when it is dark, farmers from the surrounding areas wander into the city carrying vegetables produced by their families, and sell their own vegetables, eggs and other things at the entrance of a certain market.
A horse pooping on the street will be severely punished by unscrupulous people. However, although these farmers who sell farm produce have a bad image, the unscrupulous people have never interfered with them.
In Chang'an City, Yunchu only colluded with the wine pot officials he trained, and had no interest in interacting with the nobles, rich men, or the army in the city.
The people of Baiqisi were only busy guarding against Yunchu's collusion with nobles, wealthy people, and the army, but they turned a blind eye to Yunchu's unrestrained peasant management, or in other words, they never cared.
Chang'an is the best place to maintain the Fubing system. No place can compare with Chang'an in maintaining the Fubing system.
Chang'an didn't have a lot of land, but only a lot of job opportunities. Just like the world he had passed through, Yun Chu directly deployed his soldiers to various towns and businesses controlled by the county government. No matter how hard a job was, it was worth it.
A few acres of land needed by the soldiers.
The service period of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty was relatively long, starting from the age of 21 and ending at the age of 60. The service period reached 40 years. Many soldiers basically did not live to be 60 years old.
And all the old government soldiers who can live to be sixty years old and retire, those who live in the countryside, naturally become village elders, and those in the city who are over sixty years old and retire, naturally become
He became a person like the village chief and Fang Zheng.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty worked in spring, summer and autumn, and trained in winter.
This national policy is somewhat loosened in other places in the Tang Dynasty today. Only in Chang'an, one day of training is never missed every sixty days in winter.
Since Yunchu became the magistrate of Wannian County, he has consciously included the management of the countryside as an important work category, and gradually replaced the clan-led soldiers in the village with those soldiers who had followed him in battles.
of local power.
Speaking of which, although Yun Chu still valued the army of the Sixteenth Guards, he only valued them and watched the blood of these people gradually drain away without paying any attention to them.
If the Chang'an Minzhuang were given armor, Yunchu would have the confidence to lead them to defeat those genuine soldiers.
Therefore, hiding wealth and troops from the people is what Yunchu has been striving for in the past twenty years.
As long as the foundation of farmers in Chang'an is stable, what will happen if Li Zhi kills 8,000 people in Chang'an?
When Yunchu left the Wannian County Yamen, the sun was setting hard in the west, and the horizon was gray, as if there was a dark cloud covering it. Yunchu no longer expected that this dark cloud would bring a snowfall to Chang'an.
Because he had prayed against countless dark clouds before, but it turned out to be useless.
Without rain or snow, Chang'an as a whole is gray and not pretty at all. In addition, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Tang Dynasty Wan Guo Song De Tianshu suddenly stretch into the sky, and they look like they are invading heaven. Calculated in this way,
It is understandable that God does not bring rain to Chang'an.
When he walked out of Dongshi, he saw a group of handymen washing the stone slabs with water. Looking at the dark red blood flowing into the ditch, Yun Chu asked Yin Erhu: "Zhou Xing killed someone in Dongshi?"
Yin Erhu said: "This is the last wave."
"Who was killed?"
"Hou Yuanliang, a native of Zhongshushe, whose ancestor is Hou Junji."
Yun Chu nodded and said, "It's remarkable that a rebellious descendant can still hold an official position up to the fourth rank and enter a place like Zhongshu Province as an official. Unfortunately, he still has to die in the end."
There was a sudden chill on his neck. Yunchu looked up at the sky. Sure enough, the snowflakes were swirling down from high in the sky. He reached out to catch them and found that the snowflakes were in the shape of beautiful feathers, but they were contaminated with dust and a little dirty.
It seems that the disaster in Chang'an is really coming to an end.
There were only a few sparse snowflakes at first, but soon they became numerous, and the snowflakes also changed from feather-like to snow powder. They just fell from the sky and covered the ground with white.
There has been no rainfall or snowfall in Chang'an for more than half a year. The snow fell suddenly. Many people were not used to it. Merchants setting up outdoor stalls began to pack up their goods and prepare to end their business for the day. Pedestrians on the road also hunched their necks and hurried home.
There were only some children running wildly in the snow, cheering, and their laughter was so penetrating that it filled the city.
The snow continued to fall, and the black horse under Yun Chu's crotch turned into a white horse. When he returned to Jinchangfang, the snow on the ground was already an inch thick.
After taking one look at the villagers working in the snow, and then at the bear gnawing bamboo in the bamboo forest, Yunchu returned home and closed the door. At this moment, he just wanted to enjoy this rare opportunity.
relaxing time.
When Yunchu was sitting alone in the flower hall watching the snow, Yu Xiurong came to him wearing a fiery red fox fur. Seeing that the flames in the red clay stove were about to go out, he threw two pine cone charcoal into it and waited for the copper kettle.
When the water in the bottle began to squeak, he said to Yun Chu: "Mei Yu'er's marriage is almost ready. We are just waiting for her husband to set the final good day."
Yun Chu said: "The first day after the Waking of Insects is a good day."
Yu Xiurong counted her fingers and said with some dissatisfaction: "That day is not suitable for weddings."
Yun Chu said in a deep voice: "With a thunder, everything revives, and snakes, insects, rats and ants run rampant across the earth. Why is it not a good day?"
Yu Xiurong said: "Sisi is not allowed to bring her bugs home."
Yun Chu said: "That's her ability. We can't compromise Sisi's specialty just because she wants to come in. It's not cost-effective."
Yu Xiurong said coquettishly: "Just pamper me."
Yun Chu said: "We can't talk about favor. Under the premise of being able to survive, the rest is just the last minute."
When Yu Xiurong heard what her husband said, a cloud appeared on her face and she asked, "Is it very difficult?"
Yun Chu smiled, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea and said, "The snow has fallen, it will be fine."
Yu Xiurong whispered: "I heard that the Wang family in Jinyang was exterminated. Will it affect Di Renjie and the Wang family?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "No."
Yu Xiurong said: "I heard that the person who went to Jinyang to handle the case this time called Junchen, and he is from Chang'an. Zhou Xing is from Chang'an, so Junchen is from Chang'an. Now everyone says that Chang'an has too many cruel officials.
"
Yun Chu said: "It's not that there are more cruel officials in Chang'an, but that there are more officials in Chang'an. As long as the emperor needs cruel officials, there will be many more cruel officials in the Tang Dynasty. No matter where the officials are, they may become cruel officials."
Yu Xiurong clasped his hands together, faced the sky and saluted repeatedly: "Hurry over, hurry over, husband, can you please advance the wedding between Mei Yu'er and Sisi? Everyone in Chang'an is waiting for this wedding."
Yun Chu said coldly: "It's none of their business."
Yu Xiurong said: "Many families take this wedding as a guide before deciding whether to open the door to welcome guests and start living a normal life."
Yunchu sighed and said: "In the past, our family helped others to cross the river, but now others have to cross the river by touching us."
Yu Xiurong said: "In the hundred-mile forest in Chang'an, Yun's tree is already the tallest. Where to go? My husband should make arrangements early."
Yunchu nodded and continued to appreciate the rare heavy snow in front of him.
It snowed all night. When I opened the window in the morning, I saw that the courtyard was covered with white snow. Yun Chu looked at the half-foot-thick white snow and let out a long breath. With such a snow, winter wheat would be ready.
Way to survive.
Although this snow is precious, the people of Chang'an have developed the habit of sweeping snow. The white snow enters the ditches on both sides and emits a slight white air, which complements the white air coming out of the restaurants on both sides of the road. It gives some hope of life.
breath.
Yun Chu looked at the diners entering and exiting the canteen, counted the number of guests entering within a unit time, and then said to Yin Erhu: "Business is getting worse."
Yin Erhu said: "More and more people are opening restaurants, and the taste is getting better and better. Many people who open restaurants have worked in large canteens. After learning the craft, they opened a small restaurant of their own, taking away the food."
There were a lot of customers in the big dining hall.”
Seeing Yin Erhu's unhappy face, Yunchu smiled and said, "Don't make things difficult for them. Making money is a good thing."
Yin Erhu said: "Madam said so too. We are not allowed to say that those who open shops after learning crafts are thieves."
Yun Chu said with a smile: "I told others that the Fabing House does not keep cattle and sheep. When it is our turn, we should have the consciousness not to compete with the common people for profit."
Yin Erhu said: "Several Yun's industries have been declining in recent years. Even anti-toxic drugs are now available among the people. Although the reputation is not as good as Yun's anti-toxic drugs, in fact, many doctors have begun to use them in large quantities.
These are privately brewed antiseptics.”
Yun Chu said: "Is it because our prices are too expensive?"
Yin Erhu said: "Yes, the price is only 30% of Yun's anti-virus medicine."
Yunchu laughed and said, "Isn't the quilt business that Cui regarded as a treasure also finished?"
Yin Erhu said: "Our family has not made quilts for two years, so the business of our little lady's embroidery workshop is still booming."
Yun Chu laughed even harder when he heard this. The things he made with the Tang people's limited knowledge would only be a temporary advantage. As the Tang people's vision gradually broadened, they would eventually be lost to everyone.
