Qinchuan Xiong Emperor's Residence, Hangu Zhuang Emperor's Residence.
A thousand searches have taken place in the palace, and hundreds of pheasants have left the palace.
Lianyun meets Han from afar, and flies to see the distant Lingxu.
The clouds and the sun are hidden in the sky, and the wind and smoke are scattered.
The first poem in the "Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty" that Yunchu read was the poem "Imperial Capital" by Emperor Taizong.
The whole poem is full of Emperor Taizong's personal imagination, the wording is extremely exaggerated, and the allusions are full of the poet's romanticism. Especially in compressing space and crossing time, he has superhuman courage.
It is similar to Li Bai's poem "Flying down three thousand feet, it seems that the Milky Way falls in the sky."
Lushan Waterfall is very small. When Yun Chu saw it, it was just a thin stream of water falling from a cliff tens of meters high. Sometimes the wind is stronger and it can blow away the Milky Way in Li Bai's painting...
Therefore, the imperial capital written by Emperor Taizong was shrunk about ten times, which is basically what it looks like in reality.
If we remove Qinchuan and Hangu from the poem and only talk about Chang'an during the Taizong period, we would have to shrink it three or four times.
Of course, Chang'an was different when Yunchu was an official in charge of Chang'an. Just this city on Longshouyuan could restore Emperor Taizong's boast to about 70%. If Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace were completed
, if the renovation project of Qujiang Pool is completed, this poem by Emperor Taizong will be regarded as a realistic poem.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor is responsible for bragging, and the officials are responsible for bringing the emperor's boast back to reality.
Of course, this is Yunchu's personal opinion. Li Jingxuan's son-in-law Liu Yu and Wei Dongcheng's eldest son Wei Mian do not think so. They dare not and will not connect Emperor Taizong's poems with reality. They just think that Emperor Taizong's poems
It is majestic and has the aura of an emperor that can swallow up the whole world.
Liu Yu is the son of the Liu family in Wangchuan. Wangchuan is not big and is a small town under Lantian County. Because of the presence of the Lantian Marquis Yunchu, the Liu family in Wangchuan can only be ranked second in Lantian County.
Li Jingxuan was a native of Bozhou, the same hometown as Cao Cao. Unfortunately, Bozhou during the Tang Dynasty was far away from the political center. Therefore, when Li Jingxuan was conscripted by Emperor Taizong to be a doctor of Hongwenguan, he moved his family to Guanzhong, and he was just an intermediary.
Dr. Hongwenguan's salary was very small, and he could not bring his family to live in Chang'an, so he chose Wangchuan, which was relatively cheap. Then, he naturally married the local wealthy Liu family in Wangchuan and settled in Wangchuan.
The reason why Li Jingxuan sent his son-in-law instead of his son was a careful consideration. He still had doubts about Yun Chu's management, so he would first use his son-in-law to practice, and if feasible, then let his son follow up.
In contrast, Wei Dongcheng is more down-to-earth and goes directly to his eldest son, who is very gambling.
In the East Market, there is a dormitory prepared by Wannian County Government for officials. It is not big, with three small rooms and a small courtyard, suitable for a family of three and an old servant.
Neither Liu Yu nor Wei Mian came with their wives and children, and today was their first day in Wannian County to officially go on business, so they got up very early, walked through the newly awakened Dongshi City, and stepped lightly into Wannian County.
The county government office of Nian County.
As soon as I entered, I found that the county government office was already overcrowded.
When Liu Yu saw the master assigned to him by the county government, he brought Wei Mian forward to see him.
Lao Zhang from the Hucao tribe looked up at the tall Liu Yu and Wei Mian and said, "Are you coming to eat the morning meal too?"
Liu Yu was stunned for a moment and said: "Holy food?"
Lao Zhang said with a smile: "The salary of the officials is small, so I hope that I will be happy. I will always flatter you. I will always play with you."
忝嬿角鋈フpingtang robs 锪犊 [bald little!?
Liu Yu followed Lao Zhang to Zhanggu, the warehouse, and received not only a bronze lunch box, but also a two-layer insulated food box, which contained a dinner plate, soup basin, bowls, chopsticks, and spoons.
Seeing Liu Yu and Wei Mian looking over and over at the new things they had just received, Lao Zhang smiled and took two white copper kettles from Zhang Gu's hands, handed them to Liu Yu and Wei Mian and said, "Think of the pen and ink."
Paper inkstones, spring, autumn, summer, and winter clothes and shoes. With this alone, we humble officials can save six thousand dollars a year. As long as the two young brothers don’t go to draw the boat and focus on their errands, there will be another one at the end of the year.
The generous bonus is more than enough to support a family of six or seven."
Liu Yu was surprised to see the white copper kettle. He followed Zhang Gu's instructions and unscrewed the lid. He was puzzled when he saw the threads on the mouth.
Of course, Zhang Gu won't explain to them what threads are, but just pointed out that the lid of the pot can be used as a cup.
"Except for my official office in Chang'an, there is no such good thing like this kettle anywhere else. Whether it is for water, tea, or wine, it can be filled with no leaks or spills. As for what to put, it depends on personal preference, but...
, you cannot drink alcohol while on duty, this is strictly prohibited by the county government.
In the future, if the two young brothers go to other places for business and see people drinking from this kind of kettle, no need to say anything, just take out the kettle, and the work will be more than twice as smooth."
Liu Yu pointed to the kettle hanging on Zhanggu's waist and said: "My brother's kettle must be filled with fine wine."
Zhang Gu chuckled and said: "The foundation of Xinfeng Fine Wine in the past, which is now what people call Wannian Wine. I went to Wannian Winery to take stock two days ago and got two jars. I must not tell anyone about it."
Obviously they had just said that drinking on business was strictly forbidden, but Liu Yu and Wei Mian found that Lao Zhang skillfully removed the wine flask from Zhang Gu's waist, twisted it open, poured a large sip of wine into his mouth, and picked it with satisfaction.
He raised his eyebrows and handed the wine bottle to Liu Yu...
You can't drink too much, that is, one person pours a sip into his mouth and tastes it. Zhang Gu took back the wine bottle and said with a smile: "The bottom of the wine pool has the best taste."
While Lao Zhang was fanning the smell of alcohol on his body with his sleeves, he said to Liu Yu and Wei Mian: "Quickly dispel the smell of alcohol so that Shangguan won't smell it."
After having the experience of working and drinking together, Liu Yu and Wei Mian immediately fell in love with this master and had greater expectations for the work of Wannian County Government.
After receiving the things, Liu Yu and Wei Mian had already learned from their elders that Yun Chu was going to grind hard, and they were ready to endure hardship. Unexpectedly, Lao Zhang took the two of them to the back hall.
Canteen.
"Everyone thinks that the food in Jinchangfang Canteen is the most delicious in Chang'an, but they don't know that the real food is hidden in Wannian County Government Canteen. All the chefs who prepare meals here come from Jinchangfang Canteen."
The master who came out.
Nowadays, countless new dishes in Chang'an City often come from the county government canteen first, and then appear in the Jinchangfang Canteen."
When they entered the cafeteria, Liu Yu and Wei Mian were shocked. They thought that the richness of the breakfast in the Jinchangfang cafeteria was the best in Chang'an. Unexpectedly, the Wannian County cafeteria was the real variety.
Liu Yu and Wei Mian met here several companions who were assigned to Wannian County. Now, they were chewing according to the case, eating ferociously, and seemed to have long forgotten the real purpose of coming to Wannian County.
Liu Yu and Wei Mian looked at each other. They were already 50 percent affectionate towards Lao Zhang, but now they were only 20 percent polite.
The two of them believed that the petty officials in Wannian County were not good people, and they planned to use these corrupt lives to wear down the will of them, so that they would forget their original intention of coming to Wannian County.
So, Liu Yu and Wei Mian only enjoyed a few simple breakfast dishes before decisively putting down their bowls and chopsticks. Unexpectedly, Lao Zhang brought three pears and handed them to Liu Yu and Wei Mian, each with a frown.
Said: "To work in Chang'an, you must have the appetite of an ox, the endurance of a camel, the spirit of a horse, the stubborn temper of a donkey, and the ability of a wolf to join a team.
If you don’t eat enough, you won’t be able to survive.”
Liu Yu pointed to the sumptuous meals in the cafeteria and said, "I am not here just to worry about my appetite."
Lao Zhang chuckled and said: "There is no reason why every grain in Wannian County is wasted."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bell rang outside the cafeteria. Many officials were eating. The clerk put the unfinished food in front of him into his lunch box, and then left the cafeteria without hesitation.
.
After Lao Zhang took the two of them away, the two handymen closed the canteen door with a bang.
Lao Zhang smiled and said: "Now, even if you want to eat, you have to wait until noon. You go to the toilet immediately and deal with the water and fire. After a cup of tea, we have no time to rest. Today, we are going to visit Dongshi 100
There are twenty shops.
Okay, let’s start working.”
Liu Yu and Wei Mian soon discovered that Lao Zhang who started working and Lao Zhang who was not working were completely different people.
What we have to do today is very important. We must not only check the suitability of the shops, but also check the tax stamps of the shops. We will work with the fire patrol shop and the bad guys to check the fire prevention, anti-theft and sanitation issues of the shops. If there are any problems that need to be solved on the spot,
If you need to be fined, you should be fined; if you should be put in jail, you should be put in jail.
The county government hopes that through this joint inspection, shops in Wannian County will develop the habit of abiding by various rules and regulations.
At the end of the whole day, Liu Yu and Wei Mian, two pampered young men, after following Lao Zhang for thirty miles, not only were their bodies extremely exhausted, but they also seemed to have a head of wasps in their heads.
There are thousands of strange voices ringing in my head.
Lao Zhang was also tired, but his energy was much better than the two young men.
After checking the records made by the two young people, I corrected a few things that were incorrectly recorded. After returning to the county government office, I placed a thick stack of documents next to the two young people and said, "Don't be bothered, this is the time.
It's the first day. You are different from me. Because I have no knowledge, I will probably be a petty official all my life.
You two are more than a hundred times better than me in terms of family background and knowledge. You are both young people with a bright future. Don't be lazy at this time. After following me around Chang'an City, you will know this city like the back of your hand.
Once you have accumulated enough qualifications, you will naturally rise to the top. Two young brothers, I, Lao Zhang, don’t dare to slack off in the slightest. Even if you two blame me, Lao Zhang, now, I don’t want you two to encounter difficulties in the future.
Only then can I bear grudges against me, Lao Zhang. At that time, I couldn't bear the anger of you two."
Liu Yu quickly returned the courtesy and said: "Master Zhang must not think like this. Wei Mian and I came to Wannian County just to follow the wishes of our elders and come here to study. It is okay to endure hardship, but we are afraid that we will not learn the real thing.
"
Seeing that the rest of the people in the official office had left, Lao Zhang lowered his voice and said: "As far as I know, the county magistrate treats you two differently. Look, some of the people who came in with you have gone.
Some Hu Cao, some went to Gong Cao, and three went to Xing Ming. They all had specific errands. But for you two, the county magistrate did not assign any specific errands. He only asked you to follow the administration and watch the government. I did it.
Errands are the most basic errands in the county government. They mainly learn how to directly manage the people.
After you have learned how to manage people, you should learn how to manage merchants, and then you should learn how to manage a project from beginning to end. After you have passed these three, you will have to be an apprentice at Liushui Brand in Qujiang.
, Tsk tsk, when the time comes, I will watch millions of money flowing past my eyes... What happens next is not something I, Lao Zhang, can guess."
What Lao Zhang said was both affectionate and envious, and it completely changed in the ears of Liu Yu and Wei Mian. In their opinion, the reason why Lao Zhang showed such a fawning look was
, just waiting for a favor in the future.
Fortunately, Lao Zhang has made his words clear today. He didn't mean to torture them intentionally. It's just that the two of them are short of time, have heavy tasks, and have too many things to learn...
Returning to the dormitory, the two of them ate a quick meal of takeout from the cafeteria, washed up a little, and then began to read official documents carefully to become familiar with the most basic operation methods of Chang'an City.
It is not that there are dandies in wealthy families, but those who are dandies are basically people who have been abandoned by the family, and only they have time to do some dandy things.
Liu Yu and Wei Mian are the pillars of their family's future. They have to study at midnight since childhood. In addition, the Tang Dynasty has always been martial arts, and martial arts are also required training. Therefore, as long as they are willing, they can still endure hardships.
.
After studying the rules and regulations in the middle of the night, Liu Yu and Wei Mian came to the county government office in high spirits, and when they were about to have a big meal to prepare for their new jobs, they found that the officials of Wannian County were standing in the yard of the county government office.
, each surrounded their supervisor and asked and answered questions with serious faces.
When Lao Zhang saw the two of them, he immediately waved them over and specially made space for them.
"I was so tired yesterday that I forgot to tell you that every three days, you have to hold a morning meeting to report on your previous work progress and plan your future work progress. You listen first, and finally report to Hucao."
Liu Yu and Wei Mian, who had never held a morning meeting before, suddenly became interested. After all, everything that happened here was new to him.
What young people like most is new things.
Naturally, Yunchu didn't need to hold any morning meetings. This was a matter for their small department to summarize experiences and lessons learned. This was how they summarized many of Wannian County's rules and regulations.
Of course, Yunchu will also take the opportunity to incorporate many of the regulations he needs. Regardless of whether these regulations are good or not, the officials will implement them, because whether they can understand the meaning or not, they have summarized it themselves.
There is a sense of honor involved. After all, those who can extract good experiences and lessons will be rewarded in the end.
Wenrou didn't come today because Chang'an County was also holding a morning meeting.
After Yun Chu drank three cans of tea, the morning meeting in Wannian County was over. After summarizing yesterday's work, Liu Yu and Wei Mian asked some very naive questions. However, no one
After laughing at them, the supervisor Hu Cao also praised them, thinking that it was very rare for two newcomers to have such knowledge. Finally, he encouraged the two of them to keep up their efforts and strive to put forward more constructive opinions so that
The Hucao work in Wannian County has reached a new level.
Liu Yu and Wei Mian, who came from a wealthy family, continued to maintain the calm expression on their faces that they should have from a wealthy family.
But it was as if a super hurricane was blowing up in the sea of the heart. Hu Cao's firm and serious words of praise hit the shore of the heart like waves, so that these two young heroes who had received persecution education since childhood were dizzy.
Almost.
Until a fat female chef wearing a snow-white dress and a snow-white hat personally brought out two cups of stew from the back kitchen, and placed them in front of Liu Yu and Wei Mian with everyone's envious eyes, still smiling.
He said to the others: "Master Mi sent it here, it's not your share."
Liu Yu knew that he shouldn't shed tears, and he panted hard to calm himself down. He knew that this reward was not worth a tear. It was just a cup of Tremella and lotus seed soup. He had eaten it at home before, so it was nothing.
something precious.
However, after this was mixed with the envious eyes of his colleagues and the raised hand salute, Liu Yu's tears still poured out like a flood. In the hazy eyes of tears, Liu Yu saw Wei Mian's current state,
Not much better than him, tears flowed down like a waterfall.
After hearing Master Mi's report, Yun Chu was not surprised by such a thing.
Encouraging education is something that only Wannian County and Chang'an County can do.
Such a thing would never happen in the Tang Dynasty society, which valued monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons.
Young people in the Tang Dynasty received either a stick education or a harsh setback education from an early age. These poor children could not get praise from their fathers for doing things well. It is said that this was done to prevent the children from being complacent.
As for those who have done something wrong, they will receive nothing but all kinds of perverted punishments. The more a child is valued by his father, the less good his father will look upon him.
The gentleness with a rock-solid mind, despite the deliberate praise from Yun Chu, Di Renjie and Zhong Kui, they could not tell the difference between east, west and north, let alone Liu Yu and Wei Mian.
Recalling that Wen Wen controlled his emotions, he choked and told Yun Chu that he, a child from a wealthy family, was hungry more often when he was a child than Yun Chu, a wild man, who would dare to believe it.
As for Di Renjie, after Yun Chu explained what encouraging education was, he also habitually touched his thick buttocks, and his mind naturally thought of the whip at home called Family Law.
That is to say, Yun Chu only wanted to cultivate a group of Chang'an officials, and did not think about competing with Li Jingxuan and Wei Dongcheng for sons-in-law and sons. Otherwise, Yun Chu, who understood human nature, would definitely let Li Jingxuan and Wei Dongcheng have two rebellious sons in their families.
