Chapter 278 The East is the West and the East is the West
The work in the textile workshop is an extremely complicated job. Not to mention anything else, just managing four thousand women gave Yun Chu a splitting headache.
If you think that the women of the Tang Dynasty are a group of people who are easy to bully, you are completely wrong.
It is because they are weak that they dare to do things that even men dare not do.
Most of the women who are willing to leave the house are women who have lost their husbands or husbands, and are protected by their natal families. Instead of being humiliated at home, it is better to take the initiative to work in textile workshops. Therefore, these women almost all go there with the mentality of sacrificing themselves to feed the wolves. of.
It is because of this mentality that people all over Chang'an believe that the four thousand women in the textile workshop are actually the rumors of Yunchu and Liu Rengui.
Anyway, Yunchu usually doesn't go to the textile workshop without Liu Rengui's company. As the weather gets hotter, the women's clothes become cooler. As long as a man wearing official uniform enters the workshop, they immediately become She becomes shy and sentimental, and doesn't dress well.
If you ask if there are any good women in the textile workshop, of course there are, but even good women think that if they have the chance to seduce an official, it might change the rest of their lives.
The women of the Tang Dynasty were not only enthusiastic, unrestrained, stingy, and always willing to spend money, but Yun Chu thought it was much more difficult to manage these four thousand people than to manage four thousand soldiers and horses.
Now that Yang Ying is here, Yunchu is very happy to stuff him into this pit of trouble.
Being seduced by one woman means that you are worthy of being seduced. Being seduced by two women means that you are very attractive. Being seduced by three women means that you are very popular with women. Being seduced by a hundred women can only mean that you are someone else's. tool.
These women did not dare to be presumptuous only when facing Liu Rengui. Facing the young and handsome Yun Chu... it was really hard to describe.
So much so that for a long period of time, as long as a woman spoke softly to Yunchu, he would feel that she was seducing him.
When Yang Ying saw the dense crowd of women, her confident and plain smile disappeared. Yun Chu saw the fine beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead.
Yun Chu called several male and female stewards of textile workshops, introduced Yang Ying to them in a hurry, and left in a hurry.
He always felt that the royal family should send a group of eunuchs to thoroughly manage this royal textile workshop.
As soon as Yun Chu ran out, Yang Ying followed him, pointing in horror at the women inside who stretched their necks to look at him, and said to Yun Chu: "How can they do this, without the slightest etiquette? Brother Yun, what's wrong with me?" How can virtue be able to take on such an important task?"
Yun Chu pressed Yang Ying's shoulder and said: "Manage this group of women well, you can see the big from the small, so that everyone can see your ability.
From now on, you will be able to take on real important responsibilities.”
The veins on Yang Ying's forehead jumped. He followed his father's arrangement and came to work in the textile workshop. He just didn't expect that his current official position was very low and he would need to deal with so many women.
And Yunchu placed him in the most important position in the textile workshop as soon as he arrived, which had given his father a lot of face. He couldn't be ignorant.
After leaving the textile workshop, Yun Chu was in a very happy mood. He felt that it was his luck to be able to leave the most troublesome work to others.
When he returned home, Yun Chu was still in a good mood. Even the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which he had always disliked, felt that the height was about to get better and blocked him a ray of sunlight.
Yu Xiurong sat under the eaves, eating yellow cherries happily. She had eaten a lot, a lot. Yunchu felt that she had eaten too much fruit acid, which was not good for the fetus, so he stuffed the remaining half a bowl of cherries into his mouth.
After chewing randomly, he opened his mouth like a machine gun and spit out the cherry pits into the flower bed.
"Where's Naha?"
Yunchu looked around but didn't see Naha.
"Uncle Shitou is here. They are hiding in the house and talking nonsense. They are very mysterious and don't want me to listen."
When Yunchu heard that the old monkey was back, he hurried to Naha's room. Sure enough, he saw the tired old monkey again among a pile of furs.
Naha was serving the old monkey to eat cherries, and she followed Yun Chu's example, eating a handful of cherries and then spitting out the pits.
It's just that the spitting was relatively accurate, and every particle went into the spittoon, and no fish slipped through the net.
"Give me some more of the good things you gave me last time. It will save more effort to do things this way."
The old monkey was talking and pressing his chest with his hand. There was only a bump left there.
"You should hide that thing, but don't wear it with you at any time. Once it explodes, you will be the first to die."
The old monkey patted his chest and said, "Without this thing, I can't sleep peacefully outside."
"Now that you're back, throw this thing away. If you're not afraid, I'm worried about it exploding at home.
Some time ago, the Xianyang Bridge was bombed. More than 300 Tibetan elites and Lu Dongzan's eldest son were all killed.
Also, there was also a bombing in the imperial city, which destroyed the entire rubble stone platform. You don’t want the Yun family to be blown up like this, right?"
The old monkey looked at Yun Chu and said, "So, this thing is dangerous?"
Yun Chu nodded and said: "It is very dangerous. Moreover, as long as you are found using this thing, you will immediately be identified as the murderer of Lu Dongzan's eldest son, and the court will not let you go."
The old monkey smiled and said: "Everyone who has seen me use this thing has died."
"Including your men?"
The old monkey nodded and said: "That's natural. Buddhist magic weapons need to be kept secret in order to play the most important role at the most critical time.
It’s just that the quantity is less.”
Yun Chu nodded and said: "I still have a lot, you can have as much as you want."
The old monkey's originally dull eyes slowly brightened, and finally he stroked Naha's golden hair and said: "When I am too old to walk, you can support me until I die of old age."
Yun Chu said: "This is how it should be. I was worried that you were going to enter a temple to retire."
The old monkey waved his hands and said: "No need, no need, I want to die more comfortably."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Naha with pity, scratched Naha's fair and straight nose with rough fingers, and said slowly: "I have been ruthless and unrighteous all my life, but in the end I was trapped in the feelings of my children and couldn't escape.
Become a Buddha.
Perhaps, I was born to belong only to hell and not to the Buddhist kingdom.
I will use gunpowder very carefully, and I will also help you resolve all the troubles gunpowder brings to you."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "It's not necessary, I can handle it."
The old monkey said: "You can't handle it. I have used the power of this thing, so I know that as long as you have the slightest connection to this matter, you will be included in the group of suspects.
Unless you become someone's hawk or dog, you will never have peace in your life.
There are some things that are better for me to do than for you to do yourself. Anyway, I am already very old."
After the old monkey finished speaking, he closed his eyes and quickly fell into sleep.
He came to Yun's house for nothing else, he just wanted to sleep and have a good, peaceful sleep.
Therefore, whenever the old monkey comes back, the footsteps of the Yun family will become much lighter.
Since he likes to sleep with bombs in his pocket, Yun Chu has no way to change his habit. He can even imagine that this guy must have a firebrand in his body that is always ready to light bombs.
Looking at the thin old monkey trapped in the pile of fur, Yunchu sighed and asked Naha to take good care of the old monkey and never, never let him come into contact with fire.
Time is not important to Yunchu, but it is very important to Abe who comes from Japan.
For three months, he has been burning bricks and tiles in Qujiangfang. The work he did was very heavy and very tiring.
At the beginning, Abe resisted from the bottom of his heart, but there was no way to change the young county magistrate's mind, so he gritted his teeth and persisted, even though he had never done such heavy work.
After three months, Abe felt that he had adapted to the job of kiln worker.
He didn't like the speed with which Tang craftsmen worked. He preferred to make exquisite tiles compared to those rough bricks.
Although these things are all made with molds, there is a lot of knowledge involved in how to make a beautiful and intact tile.
Just because the tiles produced by Abe are clear and beautiful, the people at the brick kiln basically tolerated his slowness. After all, many wealthy families have special requirements for tiles.
It would be best for Abe to do this kind of work.
Three months have passed, but Abe is unwilling to leave the brick kiln because he has been deeply immersed in the Tang Wadang culture.
This kind of architectural accessory used to decorate and protect the eaves of the building is engraved with words and patterns, and also uses the "Suzaku", "Xuanwu", "Green Dragon" and "White Tiger" as the patterns of the gods of the four directions.
The pattern design of the tiles is beautiful, the fonts are flowing and flowing, and they are extremely varied, including cloud patterns, geometric patterns, Taotie patterns, text patterns, animal patterns, etc. In Abe's eyes, they are all art full of rhythmic beauty.
He would rather devote his whole life to these exquisite tiles, and hoped to return to Japan in the future to create these exquisite works of art.
After Yunchu heard Abe's reply, he was very surprised. He never thought that this guy could find what he wanted in such a matter as burning bricks and tiles.
This is really intolerable.
If he were allowed to build a house again, wouldn't he be able to find more good things in it?
Fortunately, what Yun Chu wants to build next is no longer a small building, but a large dormitory in a textile workshop.
This time, Yunchu felt that building a tube building would perfectly solve the problem of accommodation and heating for female workers.
Yunchu didn't believe that Abe could still inspire Japanese people from the ugliest building in the world.
