Chapter 16: A sincere liar

 In fact, Yun Chu has no intention of dealing with these people. He is eager to return home and only thinks about how to get to Chang'an as soon as possible to find a sense of belonging. He is not even willing to accept Lao Yangpi's step-by-step approach, so naturally he will not accept these low-status people.

businessmen's help.

Because of different purposes, although I don’t accept help on the surface, I am grateful to these people from the bottom of my heart. Whenever someone shows kindness to you, you must quickly take it. This kind of opportunity is very precious. This is like a mirror in Yun Chu’s heart.

, what’s more, this precious sentiment has never been divided into classes.

The merchants of the Tang Dynasty were really a bunch of pitiful people. They had property, but they didn't even get the most basic respect in the eyes of the wealthy and powerful people. Moreover, if they didn't have a strong backing, it would be a problem to even keep their property.

In the Tang Dynasty at this time, a farmer was bullied by a powerful man, but there were many scholars who spoke out to help the farmer and fought against the powerful man, and often won in the end.

Even if he accidentally kicked the iron plate and lost his head by the powerful, the reputation he left behind will definitely make the future of the descendants of scholars further.

If he helps a businessman who is bullied by powerful people... everyone will just spit in his face!

Merchants can only wear linen soap clothes and soap-colored shoes with square toes and no distinction between left and right. Women are not allowed to wear different colors when they get married. They wear silk and silk. They are not allowed to ride in horse-drawn carriages, but can only ride donkeys or ox-carts.

The sons of merchants were not allowed to enter the officialdom, and were not eligible to receive land that was hereditary and sellable, such as Yongye Field. They could only be assigned oral land, which would be taken back by the state after their death, and they had to pay heavier taxes than farmers.

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, believed that merchants who did not engage in production and relied on buying low and selling high to make profits were exploiting the people.

In addition, Fang Xuanling, the legendary prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, told the emperor: "Today's merchants are despicable, and Taiwanese officials are of low rank. Within a few months, the big ones will be insulting the ministers, and the small ones will be humiliating the prefectures and counties... This means that merchants are using them to

The way officials use money is an insult to the superior officials, big and small."

Therefore, becoming a merchant in the Tang Dynasty was truly a life-threatening undertaking, in which one had to bet on the future of future generations.

Although Yunchu was waiting for rabbits at this time, he had to distinguish the types of rabbits. If he accepted the kindness of the merchants, in the future, the circle he would deal with would only be merchants, and there would be no other possibility.

Just like when he signed a job after graduating from college, the most important first sign will determine the height he can reach in the future.

Yun Chu believed that it was absolutely impossible for the Tang people to allow an outstanding young man like him to wander in a foreign land in confusion without any care.

Therefore, he was prepared to rely on this method to face the Tang government head-on, rather than start his own journey to the Tang Dynasty by becoming a vassal of the Sui people like the old sheepskin who had too much yearning for the Tang Dynasty and became a bit brain-dead.

As for the fact that he didn't have the identity certificate of Datang - the place of residence, it didn't matter. This thing could be said to be lost.

It doesn't matter that he can't explain his hometown clearly and can't stand the test. There is a scar on his head from when he caught blue sheep, which illustrates the problem - he has lost a memory.

If you don’t believe it, you can go to the Aries tribe’s great Abo Jiesika and ask how this beautiful young man from the Tang Dynasty was rescued by Selema, the shepherd girl of the Aries tribe, and actively took care of his injuries.

As for why he remembered his name, it was even simpler. Hanging on Yunchu's waist was a jade plaque carved from mutton-fat white jade. On it was engraved a fresh and indifferent poem like "New rain falls in the Nanshan Mountains, and clouds are born in the mountain streams."

Calling Yun Chusheng doesn't sound good, it's a bit like swearing, so I have to call him Yun Chu!

However, there is a high probability that such questioning will not occur. A young man who appears suddenly is not worth the investment of so much energy.

The process of government affairs has not changed much in China for thousands of years.

It’s not that these people are lazy, but that they don’t have the time or energy to deal with so many little things.

Returning to the Tang Dynasty was a huge event for Yunchu, but it was just a trivial matter for the officials.

However, it is better to prepare more plans.

"I haven't seen such a beautiful youngster in many years." A sudden Tang sound penetrated Yunchu's ears.

When I looked back, I saw a fat middle-aged man wearing a green official robe and a short beard.

It can also be seen from this guy's walking posture that he was not a civil servant before, but an unlucky guy who was kicked out of the military generals. In the Tang Dynasty, military generals were more noble than civil servants.

This official uniform was obviously too small and ill-fitting. It was tight on this fat man's body and strangled him like a silkworm. There were several bulges.

Blue and green are the costumes worn by officials above the ninth rank of the Tang Dynasty.

This shirt is not suitable for this fat man, but the length is suitable. This can only mean that this guy has gained weight when this official uniform was delivered.

This guy's official uniform was obviously sent from within the pass, because the Western Regions couldn't produce such an official uniform for him. As time goes by, samurai who leave the army will become obese in a very short period of time. This factor is probably

The person who made the official uniform for him did not expect it.

The above thoughts are all in the blink of an eye.

Yunchu knew that the rabbit he had been waiting for had arrived. Next, it was up to him to see how he picked up the fat rabbit that he had delivered to his door.

What is the point of lying?

It's sincerity!

You must use your sincere words, sincere expressions, and sincere actions to deceive your target!

Only in this way can you achieve your goal.

This set of skills has been used by Yunchu before, otherwise he would not have been reused at the age of twenty-eight.

Although this was his first real head-to-head confrontation with the Tang Dynasty, he was full of confidence.

Since Yunchu couldn't prove that he was a Tang Dynasty, he had to leave the task of identifying whether he was a Tang Dynasty to the government.

Yun Chu believed that he would be able to withstand the scrutiny of the government, which was why Yun Chu was unwilling to use the method given by Lao Yangpi.

Although it is very risky, in terms of profit, it should be the fastest.

Generally speaking, the official governance in the early Tang Dynasty was fairly clear and the personal ethics of the officials in the early Tang Dynasty were basically trustworthy.

With these two foundations in place, Yunchu believed that he was invincible this time.

So, Yun Chu turned around in confusion, lightly cupped his fists and saluted the fat man opposite him, saying, "The elder is so complimentary."

After saying this, he prepared to lead the horse out of the way, signaling the rough fat man to go ahead.

"Huh? Guanzhong kid?" The rough fat man didn't move. He was stunned for a moment when he heard Yun Chu's standard Chang'an accent.

When he came to Yun Chu, he looked him up and down for a long time, then picked up Yun Chu's hand and looked up and down, and found that there was a layer of cocoon on the tiger's mouth, which was the mark left by Yun Chu's diligent sword practice.

This is also in line with the martial arts characteristics of the children of Guanzhong. Looking at Yunchu's thick eyebrows with ridges and the rectangular face with big upturned eyes, the fat man can already identify that he is a child of Guanzhong.

But, why would such a kid from Guanzhong appear in this remote and remote area? Could it be that he sneaked out to look for his father and brother who were serving in the border army?

Although there are not many such things, it is not unprecedented.

When he was about to speak, he saw the row of homemade brushes accidentally exposed by the cowhide backpack on Yun Chu's back, so he frowned and asked, "Have you ever been confused, have you read a book?"

Yunchu's expression became painful, as if he was trapped in a nightmare.

The rough fat man frowned as he looked around at the crowd watching the excitement, and said to the two guards wearing leather armor following behind him: "Take it back to the Yamen."

After that, he walked straight towards the end of the street, where a shabby government office stood.

The two guards saw that Yun Chu was trapped in a nightmare and couldn't extricate himself. One of them took Yun Chu's arm and led him forward, while the other guard followed behind with a bay red horse.

The merchants on both sides watched Yunchu leave with their feet raised. To be honest, they also wanted to know why this good-looking boy appeared here alone.

The houses in Kucha are all rammed earth houses, with the back being high and the front being low, making it easier to collect rainwater.

The government offices of the Tang Dynasty were naturally rammed-earth houses. After entering, I discovered that such narrow and square houses actually had advantages, that is, they were cooler under the scorching sun.

If the summer is cool, then the winter must be very warm. However, this is the only benefit. Apart from the residential function, there are no other auxiliary functions.

After entering the room, the fat man immediately took off his official uniform, revealing his short coat and a pair of large crotch pants. He spread his legs and sat on a wool felt lazily facing the man who was kneeling on the wool felt.

Yun Chudao.

"Which type are you, a gangster, a commoner, a bandit, a bandit, a thief, a businessman, a wealthy businessman?"

Yun Chu shook his head, still confused.

"Officer, military household, craftsman household, poor family, official, distinguished person, royal relative?"

Seeing that Yunchu didn't react much, the fat man took a sip of cold water and asked tentatively.

Yun Chu pointed to his head and said, "There is an injury here, I can't remember it."

The fat man waved his hand, and the two followers immediately carried all of Yun Chu's luggage into the house and took out everything inside.

There are many kinds of things in Yunchu's backpack and horse bag. Among them, what interests Fatty Fangzheng the most are bags of herbs and small bags of stone powder.

Among the medicinal materials, he knew snow lotus, licorice, astragalus, and mineral powder. Among them, he knew Xiaoshengdan and realgar powder. He did not recognize the rest of the powders that were blue, rose red, or dark green.

However, this does not prevent Founder from classifying all these things into the category of medicinal materials.

When Yun Chu saw that his entourage had also taken out two bellybands embroidered with the Five Poisons patterns from his backpack, he blushed and took them away, stuffing them back into his backpack.

Fatty Fangzheng and others immediately burst into laughter.

The brush in Yunchu's backpack was very bald, and there was no dry ink on the small stone inkstone. A piece of paper with folded marks was placed in a small cowhide tube. When he opened it, he found that there was a hole written on it.

The master’s subtle words mean great things.

"The Master said: "Isn't it right to learn and practice it over time? Isn't it a joy to have friends come from afar? Isn't it true that a person who doesn't know and is stunned is not a gentleman?"

Zengzi said: "I have to examine myself three times every day: Have I been unfaithful in my plans for others? Have I not trusted my friends in my dealings? Have I not been accustomed to preaching?"

Confucius said: "If you review the past and learn the new, you can become a teacher."

Confucius said: "Learning without thinking is in vain; thinking without learning is peril."

Confucius said: "Because, teach your daughter to know it! To know it is to know it, and to know it is to know it, and to know it is to know it."

Fang Zheng read through this motto, which was obviously a motto given by the elders to the younger generation, and finally pointed to the signature on the gift letter and asked: "Who is Mr. Shi Sheng?"

Yun Chu had a look of pain on his face, and after a while, he still shook his head.

Since he has no way to prove that he is from the Tang Dynasty, today, he is going to put his spirit of approaching the government to the extreme if he has difficulties, and let the government use the known conditions at hand to prove that he is a pure person who cannot be more pure.

Tang people.
