Chapter 99: Small officials are the pillars of the dynasty
When you are an official, you should not be a high official.
It would be best to be Bailihou based on your ability.
There are not many things to do, the affairs are simple, but life is full of joy, because he has the final say on everything within a hundred miles!
Yunchu felt that being a leader was actually a lot of fun.
All achievements are displayed in front of people at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The flying phoenix pillars on the square gate have been erected. Not to mention the lifelike flying phoenixes on the pillars, even the six flat elephants used as bases are full of the artistic imagination of the craftsmen. The elephants have peaceful eyes.
, the ivory is short and thick, in a static shape, and forms a dynamic and static beauty with the flying phoenix hovering on the pillars. As long as the giant phoenix carried on these six pillars is completed, the gate of Jinchangfang will surely become a symbol of Chang'an.
The most dazzling one among the 108 cities.
Liu Yi was different from what Yun Chu thought. He was looking forward to the day when Juhuang was put on the shelves. As long as Juhuang was put on the shelves, he would be able to collect money at the gate of the shop.
Now, he loves this job of collecting money.
Magistrate Lu came to see the progress of the project and was very satisfied with the current progress of the project. At the same time, he also gave high recognition to the work of the fine masons.
He even repeatedly asked Yunchu not to treat these poor people badly, and that the money and food they should be given must be paid in full without default.
Just after Magistrate Lu left, Yun Chu deducted five guans from the total wages of the stonemasons with a sullen face.
Peng Wulang and Zhang Ting went over to the county magistrate, Liu Yi, and Li Changyunchu to show their merits to the county magistrate. This is the stupidest thing they have done so far.
They naively thought that as long as the county magistrate liked it, they could ignore Fang Zheng and the village chief and directly seek benefits from the county magistrate.
For this reason, Hucao Laosun even called Liu Yi over and cursed him. How could some shabby masons be worthy of receiving rewards for their merits?
Peng Wulang and Zhang Ting didn't know where they were wrong, and they were crying without tears while guarding the giant phoenix that was about to be successfully carved.
"Don't damage the giant phoenix, otherwise you will be dead."
Yun Chu said coldly and returned to Jinchangfang with his hands behind his back.
Liu Yi pointed at the two men angrily and said: "Your skills are only on the rocks. How can you talk to someone as noble as the county magistrate?
This time the director only took away five guan of your salary. Next time, let alone the salary, you won’t even get a share of the shit.
I have decided on behalf of the headman that these five dollars will be deducted from the wages of the two of you and will not affect the others."
After saying that, he left angrily.
The other fine masons who were equally angry at first lost their anger after hearing what Fang Zheng said. They just looked at Peng Wulang and Zhang Ting with pity.
After deducting five thousand dollars, the two leaders can get the same salary as them.
Without the high salary, the status of the two people collapsed immediately. Now, the other fine stonemasons began to supervise the two of them carving the giant phoenix, for fear that the two people would destroy the giant phoenix in anger, and also destroy the giant phoenix they were about to get.
big wages.
Peng Wulang and Zhang Ting had to brace themselves and serve the giant phoenix who was about to succeed with 120% caution.
The ax is still as sharp as before, but it lacks some of the agility of the past.
"Why are there so many pine needles on the ground?"
When Yunchu passed by a big pine tree, he looked at the withered and yellow pine needles on the ground with dissatisfaction, and turned to ask Liu Yi.
Liu Yi immediately captured an old woman who was responsible for cleaning this area of the street. The old woman opened her dry mouth with several missing teeth and said: "Sweep it, sweep it, but when the wind blows, the pine needles fall again."
Yun Chu said: "I'll give you thirty big bucks a month. What I want is that there won't be any dust on the ground. I don't care if the pine needles fall. What I want is that there are no pine needles on the ground.
If you don't want to, you can ask someone else to do it."
The old woman hurriedly said: "I'll clean it up now, I'll clean it up now, don't dare to let the pine needles fall to the ground again."
Liu Yi had already brought a broom and hurriedly put it into the old woman's hand and said: "Sweep quickly, sweep quickly, it was the village chief who thought you were pitiful and gave you this good job. Why can't you do it well?"
Among the onlookers were those who were sweeping the floors in the market. Seeing that Grandma Wang was scolded by the mayor, they immediately ran to their own cleaning area to see if there were any other omissions.
The head of the village was very angry with Peng Wulang and Zhang Ting today. Now, everything is unpleasant to the eyes. The broken sheds, rotten houses, chicken coops, and even the weeds on the walls that affect the view of the city make the chief very dissatisfied.
.
He repeatedly warned Liu Yi that if he couldn't clean up the mess before the Lantern Festival, he would have all the garbage piled up at Liu Yi's house.
Not only that, the dilapidated exterior walls of all houses must be renovated to be exactly the same as the original walls. Now, the materials for renovating the walls are from Qianfang City. After the Lantern Festival, it was found that there are still ruins and the length of the walls is
They will tear down their homes and build new ones, but they will have to pay for it themselves.
To this end, the furious mayor even kicked down several dangerous walls.
Because of fear, there were fewer and fewer people surrounding Fang Zheng around the Li Chang. When almost all the people had left, Liu Yicai whispered: "Li Chang, do you really want to build a wall?
Yun Chu pointed to the crooked wall in front of him and said: "The walls of the residents' homes were originally regulated, and the roads in the city were also wide, but now, these people don't abide by the rules at all.
If your house is expanded an inch, their house will be expanded a foot. The road that used to be used by horse-drawn carriages can now only be used by wheelbarrows. The horizontal and vertical alleys have also become twisted and twisted.
It must be demolished.”
"Use all blue bricks?"
"Everything is made of blue bricks."
"They will hide part of the blue bricks and only put a layer of blue bricks on the outer wall to fool us."
Yun Chu sneered and said, "It's not impossible to fool me. As long as they can build a nice-looking exterior wall with a layer of blue bricks, I won't pursue it."
"In this way, the green bricks we spent a lot of money to buy will be cheaper for them. You also know that the current green bricks are not cheap."
Yun Chu patted Liu Yi on the shoulder and said: "No matter how you do it, it's cheaper than us spending money to rebuild the wall for them.
Liu Yi, you have to remember that when everything is handed down from level to level, there will always be discounts. Therefore, we usually make requests according to ten points, implement the requirements according to eight points, and check the implementation of requirements according to six points.
Only in this way can one accomplish something."
Liu Yi felt like he understood, but also felt like he didn't understand anything. However, he still firmly remembered what Li Chang said.
"Peng Wulang, is it true that five guan of money will be deducted from Zhang Ting's salary?"
"No, when the time comes, we will deduct the money according to the standard of two cents, so that they will not hold a grudge, and in turn they will be grateful to you and me.
In addition, don’t skimp on relief food for the old, weak and lonely. You can give more yellow rice, corn, and sorghum, but you can’t give white rice and wheat. You can give clothes and items, but you can’t give money. You must remember this.
Yes, the food and clothing of the old, weak and lonely must be worse than that of ordinary people. It cannot be the same, let alone more.
This is a source of pride for the residents and the basis for their charity."
Liu Yi looked back at the old woman waiting for the pine needles to fall in the cold wind, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so difficult to have good intentions."
Of course Yunchu would not tell Liu Yi what a collective is and what its core competitiveness is. He only hoped that Liu Yi could remember that everything he did was for these poor residents.
Yun Chu's seemingly vicious but actually gentle demeanor will be spread through Liu Yi's mouth sooner or later. Sooner or later, everyone in Jinchangfang will know that Yun Chu is a very particular person.
All the rules he made were for the benefit of the residents, and he regarded obeying Yunchu's orders as an instinct.
If Yunchu's wish comes true, then one of the 108 cities in Chang'an will be named Yun.
In fact, many big families are doing this kind of thing, but they don't do it in the capital city. They are in their hometowns, in remote places, bit by bit encroaching on the land of the farmers, and finally use various means to let these people
Become a slave or a slave to your own family.
This is the reason why Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was very disgusted with wealthy people. This is why Li Zhi hates wealthy people. This is also the reason why when Wu Zetian came, she not only hated them, but also started to use knives.
Jinchangfang is different. Whenever the gate is opened, this place is an ordinary square in Chang'an. When the gate is closed, sooner or later it will become the Yun Family Courtyard.
Naha still didn't come back, and Yun Chu was a little anxious.
When Mrs. Cui came back from Daci'en Temple in the morning, she told Yunchu that Naha was very good and was reciting sutras with Master Xuanzang.
The lotus pattern between her eyebrows is not angry and cannot be seen when she is not excited. Her forehead is very smooth and does not look like she has been tattooed.
It was because Naha was so good that Yun Chu felt bad, because Naha had never been a good child, and Yun Chu didn't want her to become one.
In four days, it will be the Shangyuan Festival. That night King Wu couldn't help but said that there will no longer be a curfew in Chang'an City. Jinchangfang had received the order to build the Lantern Mountain five days ago.
In previous years, Liu Yi pushed and cheated whenever he could, relying solely on the Foshan lanterns from Daci'en Temple to support his appearance.
This year is different. Jinchangfang is going to make a mountain of lanterns. To be precise, Jinchangfang is going to make an extremely large giant Kongming Lantern this year. Yun Chu wants this giant Kongming Lantern made of peach blossom paper to illuminate.
The entire Jinchangfang.
Because the top one in Dengshan will receive a reward from the emperor, and it is said that the reward is quite large.
It doesn’t matter whether the Dengshan Mountain looks good or not. The main thing is that it must be unique. The characters written on it to wish His Majesty the Emperor a long life must be large enough and eye-catching. The four characters "Guotai Minan" should make the Emperor feel comfortable and happy to see it.
As for the opinions of the people, it really doesn't matter, because there are not even a single person among the people who can participate in voting.
