After being promoted, Yunchu couldn't wait to show off to Liu Rengui.
Just when he saw Liu Rengui, who was wearing a brand-new official uniform and a sapphire belt around his waist, looking handsome and majestic.
The first thing I saw was the densely packed earthworms crawling in the soil.
Earthworms kept squirming in the manure, and Liu Rengui even grabbed the earthworms with his hands. This made Yun Chu's throat tighten and he retched twice.
Liu Rengui, who was wearing linen clothes and straw sandals, looked back at Yun Chu, raised his thumb and said, "You young people should wear this green official uniform. I am ruining it by wearing it like this."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "You have a bright red robe but you don't want to wear it yourself."
Liu Rengui waved his hand and said, "Come and take a look. They are the earthworms raised according to the recipe you told me. I didn't expect that there would be such a large number of earthworms in just a few days."
When Yun Chu saw that there was mud and water there, he refused to go there.
Liu Rengui frowned and said: "The prescription is yours, why do you still dislike it so much? I thought you had been exposed to this thing a long time ago."
Yun Chu said: "I've always had mysophobia, and it's not like you don't know about it."
Liu Rengui said with a smile: "How did you survive the battlefield where dead people piled on top of each other, and now you despise these earthworms?"
Yunchu couldn't beat him to death, and the brown wriggling earthworms were incompatible with the fresh green green official uniform he was wearing.
While grabbing the sticky earthworms with his hands, Liu Rengui exclaimed: "What a great recipe. You can raise chickens and ducks without using grain. This makes the people get a lot of money for free."
Yun Chu sighed and said, "Can you please stop catching earthworms now? I came to your house just to show off that I am a sixth-grade official with an official uniform. Why do you keep catching earthworms?"
Liu Rengui laughed and said: "This old man, a sixth-rank official, killed two of them with his own hands. What's there to show off to me?"
As for you, if you have time to show off your new official uniform, why not come over and see how to make earthworms fatter."
Looking at the wriggling earthworms on Liu Rengui's hand stretched out in front of him, Yun Chu said with a bitter face: "I just talked about raising earthworms casually."
Liu Rengui said with a smile: "Just talk about it and it has such a good effect. If you take it seriously, wouldn't it shock the world?
Besides, are there any good tips you can come up with?"
"Actually, I also have a way to raise maggots, which can also be used to feed chickens..."
When I returned to Liu Rengui's home, I first met with his wife, and then with Liu Rengui's two sons, Liu Tao and Liu Rui.
Feng's head was covered with a green cloth handkerchief and he was also wearing a linen skirt. Looking at his two sons, they were also dressed like villagers. Yun Chu couldn't help but said: "It's right to be an honest official.
But you can’t live in such poverty, right?”
Liu Rengui washed his hands, glanced at Yun Chu and said: "If you want to be a good official, you must not have the idea of satisfying your selfish desires first and then becoming a good official from the beginning. When the desire is hard to fill, you must be the one who falls into it in the end.
.
Okay, I won’t tell you this. You earned your wealth all by yourself, which I envy you very much. However, I can’t do these things and there is nothing I can do about it.
Let me ask you now, can the news about earthworms raising chickens be spread? If it can be spread, I will spread the word in the inner square outside Chang'an City."
Yun Chu looked at Liu Tao, who was almost twenty years old, and said, "I don't want to talk to you about earthworms or maggots today. I just want to ask Liu Tao if he is willing to enter the Imperial Academy in July.
Liu Rengui was about to refuse, but Feng stood up and said: "Since we are friends of the whole family, I will not pretend here. If Uncle Yun can send Tao'er to the Imperial College, I will be grateful here."
Yun Chu laughed and said: "Sister-in-law is absolutely right, I got the quota this time from Duke Yanmen with a jar of wine.
It’s not about the four majors, it’s about entering Taixue directly. With Liu Tao’s knowledge, he only needs to hang out there for half a year before he can directly take the Jinshi examination.”
Feng Shi smiled and saluted and said, "This will save my uncle from worrying about it."
Yun Chu then said to Liu Rui, who was looking at his brother with envy: "Do you want to go in? If you want to go in, I can only recommend you to go to the Four Schools, Taixue, because my current official position is not enough."
Liu Rengui said angrily: "How can you do this? You must know that the recommended quota for entering the Four Schools and Taixue is a favor only obtained by the government's trust in officials. How can you use it to do favors for others?"
Yunchu ignored Liu Rengui and said to Liu Tao, who looked embarrassed: "It's better for you to go than for the Duke of Yanmen to recommend a fool to the Imperial Academy."
Liu Rengui sighed and said, "Actually, I can also recommend it."
Mrs. Feng wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief and said: "I know you can recommend, but why do you recommend other people's children every year, which has delayed my son's age now?"
Liu Rengui didn't say a word, but it could be seen from his expression that this guy didn't have the slightest hint of remorse.
Yun Chu didn't care. He didn't have many talents around him, but Liu Rengui suppressed these two extremely smart teenagers Liu Tao and Liu Rui in his home.
This is wrong. When Li Zhi became comatose, Liu Rengui still imagined that he would be favored by the emperor as he is now. It was all a dream.
After all, Liu Rengui could not resist the tears of his old wife and the longing eyes of his two sons, and said to Yun Chu: "Everything should be done according to the rules."
The purpose of Yun Chu's visit today was to abduct Liu Rengui's two sons. When he saw that his goal was achieved, he left quickly. Even if Liu Rengui repeatedly invited him to have a cup of tea at home before leaving, Yun Chu sternly refused. He didn't want to be caught with one.
A guy with hands full of earthworms drinks a pot of tea. What if earthworms crawl from his hands into the teapot?
Liu Tao and Liu Ruiyun were naturally taken away at first, and today they are also going to be taken to see the world.
After leaving home, Yun Chu discovered that Liu Rengui's eldest son, Liu Tao, had a duller temperament, but his second son, Liu Rui, had an offbeat temperament and got along very well with Yun Chu.
"My father is not unreasonable, but he only thinks about the people under his rule and rarely thinks about himself."
Seeing Liu Rui trying to excuse his father, Yun Chu laughed and said, "I know very well what kind of person your father is."
He has his own interests and pursuits, which most people cannot understand. Just like I envy your father's character, but unfortunately, I can't do it, so I always want to drag him into the water, so as not to always be useless compared to your father.
Even if your father did something wrong, your majesty punished me, which feels really bad."
Liu Tao and Liu Rui laughed out loud at Yun Chu's jokes, and the three of them seemed to get along more harmoniously. "Today is the place set up by Yang Huaisu, the Minister of War, and a while ago Lao Yang arranged for his son to enter
Went to the cotton textile workshop.
I thought this guy might not be able to stay long before he would ruin his reputation and go home in despair.
As a result, things went wrong. Unexpectedly, that guy turned out to be a talented person. He had really mastered the essence of cotton textile assembly line work in a short time in the cotton textile workshop.
You two also know that your father and I worked hard to build the cotton textile workshop.
Since we did it, why should we let others pick the peaches we planted?"
Liu Tao was stunned for a moment after hearing Yun Chu's words and said, "Didn't Uncle Yun bring our brothers out for Taixue and Four Schools?
Yun Chu said: "Tai Xue, the four schools, that's it. Of course you have to go to school, but while you are doing your studies, you must also follow me to figure out the process in the cotton textile workshop.
At the same time, after you figure out the process of a cotton textile workshop, you will also compile a book for setting up a cotton textile workshop."
Liu Tao said in surprise: "I heard from my father that Yun Chu was also a very talented person, why didn't he compile this book himself?
Yun Chu sneered and said: "Whether it's me or your father who compiles something like this, there will be no benefit in the end, and you might even get jealous.
Therefore, it would be perfect for you two to do this. Study in the Imperial College for two years, and at the same time follow me to do practical work for two years. This will standardize the things that your father and I have worked hard on, and also lay a foundation for you to enter the future.
.
Your father is an upright man and can laugh off people picking fruits, but I am not like that. I am naturally narrow-minded and will not take advantage of others for nothing, but they can't even think of taking advantage of me."
Liu Tao and Liu Rui looked at each other and saluted, "I am willing to listen to Uncle Yun's arrangements."
Yun Chu patted the two of them on the shoulders and said, "You may not see the importance of the textile workshop now.
Let me tell you, once textile workshops are spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, even if the textile workshops are not as good as those of Shaofujian, at least they will not be much worse."
After all, he is the son of an official family. How could he not understand what Yun Chu said? Liu Tao and Liu Rui nodded in agreement.
The three of them soon arrived at Liu Huaisu's home in Zunyifang.
A fat butler was nodding and bowing to welcome the guests at the door. He saw Yun Chu coming from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him: "Your Majesty, my master has been waiting for a long time. He is waiting for your Majesty to go to the small flower hall to talk.
."
Yun Chu pointed to the two young men behind him who, although they were dressed in linen clothes, their expressions and demeanor were much better than those in silk and satin.
"The two gentlemen of Liu County, Chang'an County, must not be neglected."
The housekeeper immediately burst into laughter and said repeatedly: "Don't say that these two men are husbands of the honorable family of Liu County. Even if the old man doesn't know, he only needs to look at the demeanor of these two husbands to know that they are definitely not ordinary people. How dare you offend them."
Looking at the back of the attentive butler, Liu Tao whispered: "Uncle Yun, is this the wealthy family they advertise?"
Yun Chu raised his head and said between the two of them: "Look more and listen more. As for what they say, just treat it as farts."
Liu Rui said with a smile: "Maybe it still smells bad, hahaha."
