Yun Chu had no opinion on the matter of being an upright official and living a pure life.
Unfortunately, his environment does not allow it.
The old Zhang of Fa Cao, who was almost fifty years old, found a time when no one was around and knelt in front of him. With a runny nose and tears, he told him that the Zhang family had sacrificed dozens of lives to support him from being a clerk to an official.
Even if a person is going to die, he will not beg him to break the law and discipline.
In order to achieve the goal of promotion, as long as he returns home, the old man does not speak, his wife is attentive to him, and even the children dare not disturb him. Even if he has nothing to do and is just reading some idle books, his family will think that he is at work.
I didn't even dare to take a breath, I just looked forward to the day when he could wear a green official robe and go back to honor his ancestors.
If Lao Zhang was just a mediocre official who only wanted to do nothing, Yun Chu wouldn't even be interested in taking a second look. However, this man not only had an idea, but also went all out to do it. He ran to the village of Wannian County.
I did it once, and not once or twice, but several times a year, and there were a lot of boots that got damaged while running errands.
If he only knew how to work hard and had no real skills, he would have been a magistrate for the rest of his life. Yun Chu would have been particularly kind to him. However, Lao Zhang was not only very skillful in handling errands, but he also had other methods. The bloody case in Guangming,
It was he who led others to destroy it.
It is really unjustifiable not to promote such a person who is the most diligent in the county.
The main reason is that Yun Chu can't explain it here. A black-hearted Shangguan can use such a person and turn him into a scumbag. In the end, he still cannot be promoted to achieve his goal of honoring his ancestors.
The reason why he was a slave was that he had no choice. In order to be able to study, he had to work as a companion to a wealthy family when he was young.
Later, because he did well in school and surpassed the young master from a wealthy family, he was kicked out of the house.
Such a person is more than enough to be a judge of a state, let alone a seventh grade judge.
Unfortunately, rules are rules, and they are an insurmountable barrier for him.
Rules can only lock down people like Lao Zhang, but people of Yunchu's level have no restrictions. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty would not be full of thieves.
Because of what happened to Lao Zhang and the others, Yun Chu took a step back. When it came to the matter about the Wu brothers, Yun Chu became much calmer.
The Wu brothers came to work injured.
Moreover, one stayed at the construction site in Nancheng and the other stayed at the official residence. Not only did they control the progress and quality of the construction work, but they also did everything they had ordered from their superiors.
It can be seen that the Wu brothers really want to make things perfect this time.
Today is the day for the relocated households to move into their new homes. Yunchu specially invited Yong Wangxian, Ji Wangshen, Cao Wangming, Liu Rengui who stayed in Chang'an, and more than a hundred officials of all sizes to come and watch the ceremony.
This is definitely a big deal for the people, and it is definitely a huge test for the Wu brothers.
When Yun Chu and the three princes arrived at the Nancheng construction site, the place was already crowded with people.
Yunchu felt that the warm atmosphere that Chang'an City could create now had surpassed his original era. Otherwise, the main reason was that the various songs and dances were so top-notch.
A group of people walked through the wide open space and arrived at the residential area. Although it was not a livable place with small bridges and flowing water, it was still lush with trees and bamboos. The Wu brothers were actually quite smart, and they even captured
Some flower bears were placed beside the newly grown bamboo forest.
A beauty was playing the guzheng under a tree, and a singer was singing by the pool on the other side. Deep in the alley, a woman in green clothes was playing the flute while coming.
"After all, it is a residential area created by the queen. Just looking at the environment, it is enough to surpass Chang'an."
"The lonely king feels that not only is he the best in Chang'an, but he is probably the best in the world."
"The lonely king thinks that these people here are the best in the world. Just look at the little weaving lady over there. A night in Pingkangfang will probably cost less than ten guan, right?"
Yun Chu glanced at the direction pointed by Li Shen and couldn't help but admire the Wu brothers. It's true that all the people in that family are tricksters from Pingkangfang.
In that house, the old man had white beard and white hair, clean clothes, and his face was red and cheerful, not to mention laughing. The old woman also had white hair, and her face was like a full moon. At first glance, she was a kind person. There were people in the room facing the street.
A scholar in Tsing Yi opened the window and was reading, a young woman in colorful cloth was weaving with graceful movements, and a fat doll was riding on a small wooden horse in the courtyard.
Even the handsome scholar is seducing the ladies passing by with his charming eyes, and the woman in colorful clothes is also using her affectionate eyes to seduce tonight's guests.
Although Li Xian had not yet installed the big steel teeth, so his speech was a little leaky, and he was worried that the dentures would spray out when he spoke, so he said to Yun Chu word by word: "Nowadays, businessmen have gone to any lengths to gain fame.
Right?"
Yun Chu pointed to a wine flag that was fifteen feet high in the village and said, "Does Your Highness know how much profit it can make in a year if that shop monopolizes the wine business in this village?"
Li Xian shook his head.
Yun Chu said: "Six hundred and eighty."
Li Xian was surprised and said: "So many?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "This is just the income from buying wine. If this shop also sells side dishes and meals, we can get more. This money is enough to cover the annual salary of a governor."
I believe that His Highness is familiar with how to compete for the position of a governor, so what His Highness is seeing now is how businessmen compete for a share of the governor's salary."
As expected, Li Xian was intrigued by Yun Chu's words, and said directly: "Can I go and have a look?"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Of course. Your Highness is usually aloof. It is also a beautiful thing to occasionally come to the market in a white dragon fish costume. After all, practicing human kindness is like writing, and it is also another kind of practice."
Upon hearing this, Li Xian immediately asked in a low voice: "The prince also understands this?"
Yun Chu said: "When the prince was ten years old, he started to set up a stall in Jinchangfang to sell the vegetables he grew. He even served as the shopkeeper of the Jinchangfang cafeteria for half a year. Now, he independently runs a restaurant similar to the cafeteria.
The store has no problems.”
Li Xian said longingly: "It seems that the lonely king has missed a lot of good things."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "The big canteen is in Jinchangfang. It is very safe. If Your Highness also wants to know how a store operates, just tell me. However, everything in the big canteen is complicated, so I am afraid that His Highness
Irritated.”
Li Xian covered his mouth and said, "When King Gu's big steel teeth are installed, we'll go and have a look."
After that, he couldn't wait to walk towards the tall wine flag.
Li Shen was two steps behind and pulled Yun Chu's sleeve and said, "You want to trick him?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "No, a certain family likes to do things openly and openly these days."
Li Shen said: "That's just to trick him openly. King Gu knows you are capable of this."
Yun Chu said with a sad expression: "I really wanted to trick him at the beginning. Look at him, he looks like a little white rabbit at such a big age, and his status is high. You know that in order not to trick him, I couldn't bear to trick him.
How hard is it?"
Li Shen clicked his lips and said: "If it weren't for the fact that he has a very powerful father, even the lonely king would want to trick him. Are you really not going to trick him?"
Yun Chu shook his head resolutely and said: "I'm not cheating, I just want to try to correct this child's ideals."
Li Shen frowned and said, "His ideal has always been to be the prince."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Impossible, I think this child's current ideal is to make more money."
Li Shen said: "This is impossible. How could he be short of money?"
Yun Chu patted Li Shen's hand holding his sleeve and said, "Don't forget, this kid still owes Liu Shui Brand a lot, a lot of money."
"So, you want to teach him how to do business?"
"It depends on where his interests go, and making money can become addictive."
The wine flag has four big characters "Wanye Winery" written on it, and on both sides are the words "Ten Wen per bowl" written in red paint. Drink first and pay later!
It seems that this store is following the strategy of offering big rewards for its opening.
The group of people came to a small building along the winding streets. This place seemed to be more lively and beautiful than the street in front. Mainly because the front street was to prevent bottomless merchants from doing anything offensive.
Things were specifically explained.
Wanye Winery is located in a back street, and I was worried that no one would come here, so I arranged a lot of exciting programs.
He was so energetic that Li Xian, who came in a hurry, was stunned.
Yun Chu glanced at Ji Wangshen and Cao Wangming, who were as calm as water, and knew how corrupt these two bastards were on weekdays.
Nowadays, they are just a group of Hu Ji with only a piece of cloth tied between their crotches, who like to sway their breasts and hips and dance on the small table, which makes Li Xian blush.
Pointing one hand at a man and a woman who were dancing close to each other on the table, he said to Yunchu with his mouth shut: "How can this be done in broad daylight?"
Yun Chu pointed at the dense crowd around him and said, "Your Highness, just tell me if anyone is here."
Li Xian blushed and said, "Here we come."
Yun Chu clapped his hands and said, "My goal has been achieved."
Li Xian swallowed and said, "The prince has seen it too?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I peeked once, but I punished him, and I stopped peeking after that."
Li Xian was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said excitedly: "When Junhou said to clean up, did he mean to fight?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Of course, I chased and beat him with bamboo sticks for half an hour in Yun's family."
Li Xian's eyes gleamed and he said, "The kind of cramps where your whole body becomes swollen?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "No, I only hit his buttocks. Anyway, my wife came back after bandaging his wounds and said that I hit him hard, and the whole buttocks was beaten to a pulp."
"Now that the prince has made a mistake, will he still smoke?"
"Stop smoking. The prince is already married and is an adult. How can he be slapped with sticks again?"
