Just when Yunchu was grateful for the flash flood, Pei Xingjian pushed Yunchu and said: "More than three thousand soldiers and civilians were killed or injured. That's it. Let's talk about it. How did you get half a street with empty words?"
Yun Chu was stunned for a moment and said: "Emperor..."
"Your Majesty is fine. Isn't it just a flash flood? It doesn't matter. The emperor is gone. Just find another royal family to be the emperor."
"Huh? Are you saying it really doesn't matter?"
"It doesn't matter if I say it in front of you. If someone else were in front of you, I would burst into tears and worry about His Majesty's safety."
"Do you really trust me that much?"
"It's not that I trust you. It's because you were drunk last time and said something about the emperor. You also said that you wanted to visit Wu Mei's boudoir. You also said that a woman like Wu Mei has children every year. She must be a special woman. Yes
Men should go and see how other people do things..."
"Isn't that what I said? It's more like what you said. I'm not interested in older women. My family is full of older people."
"That's what Di Renjie said. No matter who said it, the three of us are here, and none of us will be missing when beheading."
"Okay, I won't drink with you two anymore, or I'll die early."
The two of them left the Hu Cake Shop in muttering. Although the young man gave Yun Chu a cake full of good meat, he refused to pay attention to Yun Chu. On the other hand, his wife liked to breastfeed the child whenever Yun Chu came over.
"Aiya, old man, how can this mean that it is the responsibility of our officials to solve the people's problems? Don't worry, old man. Before winter, your whole family will live in this sturdy, warm brick house that can be dried out.
Time is short, so you need to think of ways to keep warm in winter."
"It can't be done, it can't be done. The people respect the government, and the government naturally loves the people. The house built this time is different from usual. A workshop can be opened downstairs and people can live upstairs. It is very spacious and enough for people to use... Oh, your house is for business
Bronze mirror, this is a good craft..."
Yun Chu and Pei Xingjian had walked less than a hundred meters when they encountered several groups of people coming to kowtow. However, they did not recognize Pei Xingjian and were all going for Yun Chu.
This made Pei Xingjian's teeth itch. He really didn't understand why some people made money and became the Buddha of thousands of families.
At the same time, he also found that Yun Chu was very natural when dealing with these Guizhou chiefs. He could help the smelly old woman walk without changing his expression, and he could also hold the old Guizhou head's calloused hands.
Hands, pity the hardships of life for the elderly.
You can also break open the biscuits with meat in your arms, give half to the child whose face is covered with snot, and eat the other half yourself, eating casually and naturally.
When he saw the bamboo, Yunchu became furious. He pulled the contractor over, took off his shoes and beat him down shamelessly. While beating him, he yelled: "Bamboo is absolutely not allowed on my construction site. Who dares to put these bamboos on the construction site?"
If you put bamboo boards or the like into the house as wooden boards, I won't give you a penny, and I'll ask you to knock down the house and rebuild it."
Although these contractors kept explaining that this thing was used to build a frame when building a house, Yun Chu refused to listen to the explanation and beat him even more fiercely with the sole of his shoe. He ordered on the spot that even if it was to build a frame, I would use wooden boards.
Bamboo is not allowed.
Looking at the tearful contractor, Pei Xingjian felt that Yun Chu had gone too far.
Unexpectedly, Yunchu finished the work of the contractor and started to reason again, from the foundation of the house to the structure, from the thickness of the walls to warmth in winter and coolness in summer, from the difficulties of the people, to the quality of the house, one floor
Progress step by step until the contractor bursts into tears.
Regarding Yun Chu's vigorous and resolute work style, Pei Xingjian couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. Just now, he thought that Yun Chu was just a ruthless businessman. Now, he thought that Yun Chu was a really good person and did things well.
Of course, the contractor might not have been moved to tears by what Yun Chu said. It was very possible that he had hit his nose with the sole of a shoe just now.
After scolding the contractor, he also asked him to remove all the bamboo treads from the construction site. Although the bamboo treads were much stronger and safer than wooden treads, Yunchu decided to use wooden treads. The advantage of this is that once the people talk about the house here,
The quality, first of all, is that even the pedals are made of wood. How can we even think about the work done by the contractor team?
Yes, if anyone builds a house using bamboo as treads in the future, it will be a sign of shoddy construction.
In front of the mountains of green bricks and tiles, Yun Chuhui found a hammer and directed the people to randomly pull out some from the piles of green bricks and tiles, and then, right in front of the people, he used
Use a hammer to smash them one by one and check whether the bricks and tiles are up to standard.
"Lang Jun, they are all green and have a crisp sound when knocked. The bricks and tiles are all good bricks, and they are good bricks that have been thoroughly burned."
The residents were heartbroken looking at the broken bricks and tiles all over the place.
Yunchu threw away the broken bricks and tiles that he had smashed in his hand, and said to the people of Guangfufang: "Keep an eye on it, this is a house built for you. From now on, the old people will live here, and the young people will live here."
I am marrying a wife and having a baby here.
Living in a house for hundreds of years is not a matter of a lifetime.
I only have one person and one pair of eyes. I can't see such a big construction site. I need you to worry more and tell me when you see problems. I'll take care of them. If you don't see it, I definitely won't see it either. When the time comes,
Your house is in a mess, so don’t come to me and complain."
The disaster-stricken households surrounding Yunchu nodded and said, "How can you do that? The map clearly shows where your house is. If you don't care about it yourself, how can you let Lang Jun watch over it for us day and night?"
There is no reason for this. Don’t worry, Lang Jun. As long as there is a problem, the little ones will definitely tell Lang Jun.”
Pei Xingjian watched helplessly as Yun Chu's troubles after building the house were easily blamed on the people who lived in the house. At this moment, he no longer knew how to describe the person in front of him.
You could call him greedy, but he is really a very ambitious person. He can buy people's land deeds at low prices, but would rather spend a lot more money to exchange them for new houses.
He disdains the shoddy workmanship and shoddy work that officials are accustomed to do here. The materials he just inspected are all genuine. Even the lime spread into the foundation is of the highest quality if it is kneaded by hand.
Good stones are burned and then ground into powder, which is slightly hot when held in the palm of your hand. This is definitely a good thing.
However, he really helped those people who could not afford to build a house and built a house that was enough for them to live in and make a living. The people did not suffer any loss, and they might even make a fortune, because Yun Chu said that the good houses here are
It can be sold for two hundred guan in the future, but although the shabby houses that the people lived in before are large, they are not even worth a hundred guan.
Everyone was very satisfied. Yun Chu was naturally very satisfied when he made money. The common people were also very satisfied with their new houses. Even the foreman who was beaten by Yun Chu with the sole of his shoe was laughing. It seemed that he was not happy either.
deficit.
It’s just that he makes too much money and doesn’t spend any money on himself.
Pei Xingjian told Su Dingfang what he saw and heard in Guangfufang today. Su Dingfang, who was playing chess, gently put down the chess pieces and said: "He who can do things that others cannot do is a talented person."
Pei Xingjian said: "This disciple just doesn't understand who is the loser in this accident.
Not the government, not Yunchu, and probably not the common people. Not the merchants who supplied the materials, obviously not the craftsmen responsible for building those houses, and not even the people who bought Yunchu's new houses.
The disciple does not believe that there is anything in the world that can be created out of nothing.
Not counting Yunchu's inn and big canteen, he also has twenty new houses for sale. Twenty houses are four thousand gu, and these 4,000 gu can resettle 70 disaster-stricken households.
The disciple also heard that this was only the first phase of the house, and there were more than a hundred households in the second phase that were not affected by the disaster and were willing to use their dilapidated old houses to exchange for houses according to Yunchu's requirements.
In this way, there will be endless deprivation for the descendants, until Yunchu renovates all the houses in Chang'an City, and he will get half of the city.
My mentor, it seems that Yun Chu’s words about wrapping the whole of Chang’an with a layer of gold foil were not drunken words, he has a way to achieve it, it just takes some time.”
Su Dingfang smiled and said: "It would be good to have a way to achieve it, but whether it can be achieved is another matter.
Your talent is not here, but in discovering and promoting talents who are useful to us, and Xue Rengui's role is to charge into the battle.
As long as Yunchu spreads underground, you grow wildly on the ground, and Xue Rengui soars in the sky, in this way, for thirty years, we will sit back and relax. As for who the emperor is, it doesn't matter to us, he is nothing more than a descendant of the Li family.
There is no need to compete with others in areas that you are not good at. I believe Yun Chu is not willing to compete with you in judging things, understanding people, and commanding operations.
Yun Chu has obvious strengths and weaknesses, but what we old guys want is nothing more than a city of Chang'an that will remain unchanged for thousands of years.
As for what others want, as long as it does not touch our roots, we can give in and pretend to be deaf and dumb."
"So, has the matter of moving the capital been settled?"
"On the surface we oppose it, but in fact we support it.
The reason why he was unwilling to have a dispute with the emperor was that Tuyuhun could no longer withstand the attacks of the Tibetans. Once Dafeichuan was lost, the Tibetans would have access to the Western Regions, and we, the Tang Dynasty, had the remaining soldiers in the vast Western Regions.
There is only one Anxi army. Once the Tibetans advance westward, the four towns of Khotan, Yanqi, Qiuci, and Shule will definitely not be protected. In this way, the Western Regions that the Tang Dynasty has managed for many years will lose most of them.
The most troublesome thing is that since Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, we have been almost invincible in all our external wars. Even when Emperor Taizong attacked Goguryeo in his later years, it just failed to achieve its strategic goals.
This made the Tang army become arrogant, and the frontier army's brutal expropriation of the Tubo people in Songzhou aroused the hatred of the Tubo people.
Once Dafeichuan is lost, it will definitely not only be the Western Regions that will be damaged, but those barbarian tribes that Yun Chu is unwilling to pay attention to will definitely start fighting again.
The reason why Cheng Yaojin entered the Western Regions at an advanced age this time was to kill Ashina Helu and clear the rear for the Battle of Dafeichuan... Unfortunately, Liang Jianfang failed to intercept Ashina Helu in Qiuci, so we at least
