There is nothing wrong with Cui's female beauty. Whether it is the coats, underwear, shoes and socks of the Yunchu brothers and sisters, now they are all made by Cui. Even the boxer briefs designed by Yunchu, Cui's production is far better than Yunchu's.
The leather pants first made in the Western Regions were ten thousand times better.
People in the Tang Dynasty did not wear underpants, neither men nor women wore them. The more sophisticated people would wrap a crotch cloth around their crotch, the kind worn by Japanese sumo wrestlers.
If you're not particular about it, it's cool to put it in neutral.
This woman could also settle accounts and write, plus she was a good female celebrity, which made Yunchu feel that the six hundred copper coins he had spent to win her over was really worth it.
When it comes to cooking, no matter how much Cui wants to help or how carefully she cooks, she can only eat the food in the end. The Yunchu brothers and sisters would rather go hungry than take a bite.
Therefore, when Yunchu made the mutton noodles so delicious, the people who were working in the yard were not very willing to work. They all stretched their necks and asked in a low voice why this family's tea and rice were so delicious.
.
Naha didn't care. As long as there was delicious food, she could still enjoy it even if wolves were watching.
Yunchu couldn't help it. He held his rice bowl and asked Cui in a low voice: "What are they doing? Didn't you pay them?"
Ms. Cui took a bite of noodles and said, "The wages are very good. No, half the idle people in the village are here to earn wages."
Yun Chu frowned and said, "If that's the case, why are they still pointing fingers? Are they scolding us for being rich and unkind?"
Ms. Cui shook her head and said, "I came from a wealthy family with some experience. Isn't it just that I'm not going to look good after eating the food cooked by my husband?"
That's the same for me, let alone these poor people, what we eat is completely different from what they eat."
After Mrs. Cui said that, she put down her rice bowl and smiled at the workers who were watching: "Aren't they all here after eating? You can only get two copper coins for working extra hours a day, but now you are just looking at the owner's house.
If you don’t work and eat, do you really want to get money for nothing?”
The villagers were laughed at and scolded by Mrs. Cui and felt that it was inappropriate, so those who cleaned the wells continued to clean the wells, and those who tidied the courtyards tidied the courtyards. The lady in charge said well that as long as the courtyard is tidied up as soon as possible, everyone can
There will be a reward of five coins at that time.
Most families in Fangshi make a living by working and doing business in Xishi. Nowadays, you can make money without leaving Fangshi. Everyone does not want to miss this good opportunity, let alone anger the owner of this family, so as not to do it again in the future.
With such a good business, people don't want to do it themselves.
As far as I could see, these people did a really good job, they were quick and careful and there was nothing to fault.
Naha finished three bowls of rice in one breath, put down her bowls and chopsticks and said to Yun Chu: "I don't like Chang'an City, I don't like the people here, and I don't like the food they cook."
Yunchu also put down his empty bowl and said to Naha: "Chang'an is a special city. We need to adapt to it instead of letting this city adapt to us. We have no choice. After leaving the Western Regions, we brothers and sisters want to have fun everywhere.
, it becomes a delusion.”
"It's easy to talk about other things. Brother, why do you think the food they cook is so terrible?"
Yun Chu glanced at Ms. Cui opposite, who was busy cooking, and snorted: "In the eyes of us brothers and sisters, they are just a bunch of barbarians when it comes to eating."
Regarding what Yun Chu said, Cui, a native of Chang'an, felt that it was very reasonable. However, she immediately said: "Lang Jun, our family is short of manpower. You can't be busy in the kitchen all day long. There is one less person in the family."
I am also a groom, who will lock and close our house and raise horses. We are also short of a cook, a helper, a personal maid, a book boy to run errands for you, and two rough maids responsible for sweeping.
If Mr. Lang wants to settle some family property in Chang'an, our family will be short of a housekeeper, a bookkeeper, and two servants to look after the house and the courtyard."
Yun Chu looked at Mrs. Cui and said, "You used to be the head of the family in your family. If your family lacks these people, how did you get them?"
Mrs. Cui sighed and said: "Of course I am dispatched from the Zhuangzi at home. They are all people who know the basics and are easy to assign.
Our family is different. There are only two masters in the family, you and my wife. There is no family property or tribe in Chang'an. Although there is no shortage of money, it is still very difficult to find so many servants, isn't it?
No one can buy them, but after buying them, you don’t know what they were before.
Besides, basically none of the slaves that can be sold by the master are good."
Yun Chu raised his head and thought for a moment and said: "Then I don't care, this is your business, even if you miss the point and do it wrong, you are still more reliable than me. You need money, you say it, as for others
Yes, it all depends on you.
You said today that you are the chief manager of our family's inner chambers."
Mrs. Cui pointed at the men and women working in the yard and whispered: "Actually, I'm already selecting the ones who work carefully, have good looks, and have clear eyes. I'm planning on concubine."
Yunchu looked around and found that it was already dark, but these people were still holding oil lamps and torches and were still working. He asked in confusion: "Are they not slaves? Can they be bought and sold at will?"
Ms. Cui said with a smile: "Most of these people's families are registered craftsmen, subordinate to the Shaofu Supervisor, General, Military Supervisor, and of course the Ministry of Industry. Although they are paid, you also know that the wages are not much.
.
These people do not have land at home and make a living by working. Such work is not available all the time, so many people live a life of food and hunger.
The rich and powerful families of the Tang Dynasty loved their servants the most. Emperor Taizong rewarded Princess Wencheng who married Tibet with 500 families of craftsmen at once.
Therefore, recruiting people from among these people with good foundation is very cost-effective and safe.
Anyway, our family must not find a trafficker to buy slaves that others do not want. It will ruin the family tradition and be detrimental to the husband's career."
Yunchu felt that what Cui said was very reasonable, and once again decided to leave all the things that were not suitable for him to Cui.
When the moon came out, these workers finally heard Cui's order to get off work, and they lined up to come to Cui to collect their money.
The copper coins that Yun Chu exchanged for were of very good quality, and they were all yellow and clear. Therefore, the people who received the money did not complain much. However, many people hoped that Cui, the chief steward of the inner house, could exchange the copper coins in his hands for food, so that
They will work harder tomorrow.
Yunchu's tent was set up again, but the tent was too small. Yunchu asked Cui to take Naha to live in it, while he laid the floor in the hall.
The cold wind in Chang'an at the end of November was biting, and the experiences during the day also gave Yun Chu a feeling of freezing coldness.
Chang'an and Xianyang are only sixty miles apart. In the past, a man named Shang Yang who lived in Xianyang once said: Only when a treacherous person becomes an official can the people abide by the rules and regulations, and when a good person becomes an official will the people get close to him.
What a country needs is for people to abide by rules and regulations, not for people to get close to a certain person. Therefore, it is better for a traitor to be an official than a good person.
It sounds a little unconscionable to say this, but officials of all dynasties have regarded this sentence as a golden rule.
Being a craftsman in the Tang Dynasty meant a life of hard work. Being a farmer not only required hard work but also sacrificed your life to fight. Being a businessman meant that your family had nothing to save except money. Just what Yun Chu had experienced during the day was enough.
It shows that in Chang'an, just having money is not enough.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have four ways to live, and being an official is the brightest way, there is no other way.
But besides being an official, Yun Chu also wants to have the life he needs.
Just like what he once told Naha during the day - Chang'an will not take the initiative to get used to you, but needs you to take the initiative to get used to this city.
Since there is no life that Yunchu needs in this city, it should be a very good idea to take the initiative to create such a life.
Therefore, after Yun Chu thought about it for half the night, he suddenly realized that if he was a student of the four majors, could he strive for the position of head of the school?
Anyway, after I stepped down from the position of senior league official, my first official job was-Secretary and Director of the Street Working Committee
Grid management work is very familiar to Yunchu. At this time, Chang'an has exactly one hundred and ten concrete grids. In other words, Chang'an now has exactly one hundred and ten squares.
city.
I heard that the earliest Chang'an city plan had 108 districts and cities, but only 110 were actually put into use.
Jinchangfang is under the jurisdiction of Guangmingli. This village is very small, mainly because Jinchangfang is so big that the head of Guangmingli is the head of Jinchangfang. They are not officials, they are just officials.
The Tang Dynasty was very strict in managing officials with high grades, and had an indifferent attitude towards officials who did not meet the grade.
Yunchu felt that there should be a loophole here that he could exploit.
Because, judging from Yun Chu’s understanding of street work, the district chiefs and officials of the Tang Dynasty are far from doing their jobs well. The most important thing is that these people obviously have great power in their hands, but they foolishly
I begged Yun Chu for a few copper coins...
The street that Yun Chu managed before had 63 large and small companies, 729 shops, 68,727 permanent residents, street trees... advertising spaces...
In the past, these familiar strings of numbers that could be spoken casually have now become smoke and clouds. They are very close and yet seem very far away.
So, when Yunchu was about to fall asleep, he felt that his idea was really good.
First, he wanted to buy some family property, but he couldn't make it too obvious. If there was the slightest disturbance, he would encounter a giant crocodile like Cheng Yaojin who would eat him alive.
In the hierarchical world of the Tang Dynasty, the wealth owned by an individual without family support or official position is nothing more than meat that others put in your hands.
Yunchu didn't think much about money. Ever since he came to this world, he had the courage to come back after all his money was lost.
This kind of courage is not Li Bai's drunken arrogance, but a kind of real self-confidence.
He needs wealth to support his dreams, but he does not need to personally control so much wealth.
So, the only way to achieve this goal is to hide wealth among the people.
Become the mayor of Guangmingli, become the square director of Jinchangfang, let yourself be firmly bound to everyone in Jinchangfang, and if possible, become the true master of the entire Jinchangfang residents.
long.
