Chapter 139 The so-called wealth is nothing more than this
Human beings are actually animals of experience.
If you stay in a comfort zone for a long time, you won't want to move.
It wasn't until Yu Xiurong groaned in dissatisfaction that Yun Chu started a new journey.
Ever since her youngest son was spotted by the wise eye of the old god, Yu Xiurong felt that her belly should be a treasure. Any child born from here would undoubtedly have a great future.
This feeling should be a woman's ultimate happiness.
It's just that her husband doesn't want to work as hard as he did when he was newly married, and he doesn't want to stick with her all the time. This is the only worry in Yu Xiurong's heart so far.
It was so familiar. Even though Yu Xiurong thought that her skin was like gelatin, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and except for a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she was just like a girl. When the two of them were intimate together, not only did Yun Chu look normal, but she also looked normal.
When she saw her husband's handsome face and strong figure, she seemed to have lost the excitement she felt at that time.
At five o'clock in the morning, the couple got up.
In the past, if I woke up so early, I would do something else while the children were still sleeping without being disturbed. When I got up, it would be after three o'clock in the morning.
Yu Xiurong thought that dressing up in the bedroom wearing a bellyband was very beautiful and very tempting. The footnote of this feeling came from Yun Chu. As long as she dressed like this, Yun Chu's hands would be ready to move.
"Hey -" Yu Xiurong sighed resentfully, Yun Chu looked at her strangely, shook his sleeves and went out.
Desperate Yun Luan was waiting in the hall wearing a Taoist robe, waiting for Aye to lecture.
When Yun Chu came to the hall, he just glanced at Yun Luan and said, "When you go, you must listen to the old god and don't make the old god angry. Go ahead."
Yun Luan's mouth wriggled several times and wanted to tell Aye that listening to the old god's words would be equivalent to sending his son to the underworld. After all, he did not say it and left the house with his head hanging down and went to Prince Ji's Mansion.
Since it was early winter, Yun Jin, who had just come out of the gym, was steaming all over, like a cage of steamed buns that had just been cooked.
"If you don't want to take a shower, what are you doing here?" Yun Chu asked after taking a sip of tea.
"The little bird has left?"
"Well, he's gone already."
"He's scared, didn't Aye see it?"
"Pretend, the old god is kind, what is he afraid of? Go take a bath quickly, don't catch a cold."
Yun Jin wiped his sweat and said, "Aye, do you want to withdraw the money from the Liu Shui brand?"
Yun Chu took a sip of tea and said indifferently: "If it can be sold, we will mention it. If it cannot be sold, we will not mention it."
"But Master Qiuji wants a debt."
"He can wait three and two years. It won't be a big problem if he waits another three to five years."
"Ah? Are you trying to default on your debt?"
Yun Chu said in embarrassment: "Master Xuanzang didn't even say anything, so he could see why a dervish was so anxious."
"Master Xuanzang has a discipline and never touches money."
Yun Chu spread his hands and said with a smile: "Then there is no need to pay it back. Da Ci'en Temple will keep the money in the water sign for a long time to benefit the people for a long time. I am helping them accumulate merit and practice Buddhism. It is in line with
The original intention of the Buddha.”
Yun Jin said anxiously: "So, how to break the backwater business in Chang'an?"
Yun Chu said: "Chang'an trade is not a backwater as you said. Last year's trade volume increased by more than 10% compared with the previous year."
Yun Jin said in confusion: "When Aye was here, except for the two years when the Liushui brand exploded, the trade volume did not increase by more than 50% in any year. Now it has only increased by more than 10%. It seems that Aye seems
very satisfied?"
Yun Chu smiled and said to his daughter: "Do you think the big business road there hasn't been opened yet?"
Yun Jin said firmly: "Guangzhou!"
Yun Chu said calmly: "Guangzhou's trade is by sea. The area near Datang is basically a group of monkey-like savages. What's the benefit of trading with them? If we go further away, greedy cannibals will be there.
Difficulty, so only the Great Eaters came to trade with the Tang Dynasty, and few people from the Tang Dynasty went to trade with the Great Eaters.
The rest of the trade routes are currently operating well, and the trade volume is increasing every year. It is just because of the mode of transportation that the increase is relatively small. Today's trade volume in Chang'an is astonishingly large. Although it only increases by more than 10% every year, in fact,
As long as you look at the numbers, you will understand that the current total of 10% is much greater than the previous 50%.
Blindly throwing money into it is actually a cheating method. It can only be used for a while and cannot last long. If you want it to last, you must continuously research and develop new products that can touch people's hearts. The other one is to let the people
Become rich and have more money to buy and sell goods.
If you don’t have the time to worry about these things, why not work with the craftsmen to research and come up with new and good products, which is worse than anything else."
Yun Jin felt cold all over after what Aye said. Her body, which had been steaming just a moment ago, suddenly felt cold and she quickly ran to take a shower.
Before it was time to have breakfast, Yunchu drank enough tea, picked up a watering can, watered his beloved winter jasmine, and picked off the few yellow leaves on the jasmine flowers. The sun came out, but it was just
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda next to it was obscured, and a large group of pigeons flew overhead with pigeon whistles. There were many white spots on Yun's clean square tile floor.
"This is a blessing."
After finishing dressing up, Mistress Yun came over from the back house and saw her husband looking dissatisfied at the pigeon droppings all over the floor, so she smiled and said.
"You can ask for less of this kind of blessing, and the rest will be given to others."
"I'm not talking nonsense. The old god often uses the pigeon dung on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda as medicine. He also said that after using the pigeon dung on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda for so many years, the medicine is the best, especially for treating sores, hemorrhoids, and limbs.
The swelling and pain effects are amazing.
This means that the pigeon droppings on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda are in short supply."
After that, he looked at the yellow leaves of winter jasmine that Yun Chu had just picked and said: "This is also a good thing. My husband will not clean up these yellow leaves in the future. The maids still hope to collect some residual leaves and sell them to make money to support themselves."
"
Yun Chu said: "I know that the leaves of winter jasmine have the effect of activating blood, detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain. They can also be used to treat swelling, malignant sores, bruises, trauma and bleeding. It is a cheap medicine. It is everywhere in Chang'an City.
It’s all, who would spend money to buy it?”
Yu Xiurong said: "Our winter jasmine is an old root and was given by the emperor. It has strong medicinal effects and has a good reputation. Why is no one buying it? I heard that the supply exceeds the demand."
Yun Chu looked at the aggrieved little maid next to him with some guilt, handed her the yellow leaves that he picked and said, "Okay, don't feel aggrieved, just sell them all."
"Let's talk about our bamboo..."
"It's medicine, especially Qingzhuli, which is a good gift for injuries and illnesses."
Yun Chu's eyes fell on the withered grass again, and Yu Xiurong immediately said: "That's Centella asiatica, which can be used as medicine."
Yun Chu staggered in shock, raised his hand to support the pillar wrapped with rattan beside him, Yu Xiurong smiled and said: "That is ivy, it can be used as medicine."
Yun Chu stood firm and said: "In other words, any living creature from the Yun family can be used as medicine, right?"
Yu Xiurong used a small wooden stick to push aside a patch of Centella asiatica, pointing to a few dead branches and leaves there and saying: "These ginseng plants have been growing for more than ten years. When they grow for a hundred years, they will be dug out."
Make some water for your husband to drink."
After saying that, Yu Xiurong proudly put his hands on his hips and said to Yun Chu: "The real Feng Shui treasure land, even though it only has a dozen acres, the people are talented people and the things are good. If we just maintain a house for a hundred or two hundred years, by then, the house alone will be enough."
It’s enough for our descendants to chew on.”
"What about the septic tank down there?"
"That's a treasure too. The butler dug it up and put it all in the fields outside the city. It's a fertile field!"
Yun Chu nodded and said: "The fertile fields are good, the fertile fields are good. We can eat the crops grown next year."
It seems that the house is well taken care of by Yu Xiurong, so there is no need for Yunchu to worry about it. In addition, Naha has hidden a lot of gold, gold sand, jade, etc. in the house, not to mention that in order to prevent moths, there are several cinnabar decorations in the house.
The pillars were completed, and even Yunchu believed that this place was full of gold and jade.
"Don't look down at the path. The stones on the path are all paved with stones that Naha found from the Khotan River. The last time King Ji came to the house to look for Naha, he didn't notice anyone and he dug them away.
Several."
Yun Chu resisted the urge to identify whether the stones on his stone path were the legendary seed jade, and walked forward with his head held high. To be honest, he was used to walking on the stone path on weekdays, but it felt particularly comfortable to step on it today.
.
There was a crisp cry of magpies. Yun Chu looked at the magpie nest on the branch of the sycamore tree and said to Yu Xiurong: "Manage the magpie nest well and don't let the golden eggs inside fall. If you accidentally hit your head, your head will definitely break."
Yu Xiurong sneered and said: "There are only some things hidden by your youngest son in there, and they can't kill anyone."
"What is he hiding?"
Yu Xiurong spat and said: "The things I got from the copperplate bookstore are all pictures of beauties and so on. They are also carefully wrapped in oilcloth to protect them from wind and rain."
"It seems like you know everything."
"This house belongs to me. If I still can't figure out my own place, I will use this house as my home for nothing."
Yun Chu and Yu Xiurong walked around the house again. When they came to the stables, the bay-red horse ran out of the stables, snoring and bumping into Yun Chu. They were very happy.
Seeing that the sun was shining brightly today, Yun Chu asked the groom to bring warm water and together with Yu Xiurong wiped the bay horse's body.
I have to say that the bay horse is really old, and a lot of hair has been worn off where the saddle is placed. Even after resting for such a long time, new hair has not grown, and the scars are unsightly.
After cleaning it, it was an old horse. I opened the horse's mouth and took a look at the teeth. The bay horse's teeth were very worn.
"In the future, if you feed the bay horse more concentrated feed, its teeth will become damaged."
The groom Fei Jiu said: "Your Majesty, you cannot take special care. War horses must be fed roughly to be strong. If you feed too much concentrated feed, the bay horse will start to gain weight and lose strength. It will age faster after becoming obese."
Yun Chu sighed and stopped talking. As far as raising horses is concerned, Fei Jiu is the professional.
"Have you thought about your son's future? Cui Miao has been in the Imperial Academy for three years. It depends on your thoughts on whether he wants to become an official."
Fei Jiu has been having an affair with Cui Yao for more than ten years, and has only stolen one son so far. Fei Jiu is still a rebel of the Tang Dynasty, so when the child grows up, he takes his mother's surname of Cui.
When he was fourteen years old, he was sent to the Imperial Academy by Yun Chu. Currently, he is seventeen years old, one year younger than Yun Jin. He is an extremely smart child, but his life is not good.
"The child came back to discuss with me the day before yesterday. He doesn't want to be an official, but wants to find a position at home."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "This child is not a slave, and neither are you in fact. Does your son know that you cheated your son like this?"
Fei Jiu smiled and said: "As long as you are at home, it doesn't matter whether you are a slave or not. The child wants to find a job at home. He thinks it is better than becoming an official."
Yun Chu looked back at Yu Xiurong and said, "Go and ask Cui Yao what he means. Fei Jiu's decision doesn't count."
