Liu Yi was too arrogant and was sent to Ba by Yunchu to plant cotton. As long as there was nothing important at home, he could only stay in Ba to look at cotton.
Now that all the cotton has been recovered, it will be handed over to Mr. Cui in the small workshop in Qujiangfang before he can return home.
Very good. After staying in Ba Shang for more than half a year, I finally learned to be restrained and low-key. Now, I am very peaceful and laughs at everyone I see. According to the gentle evaluation, this person is now half as charming as his housekeeper.
.
In fact, the person who has the most educational significance for the housekeepers of the Xungui family in Chang'an is none other than Yunchu.
Ever since he chopped off the head of Qiu Xinggong's housekeeper, the housekeepers of the Honorable House had been educated collectively.
The Yun family's cotton was never intended to be woven into cotton cloth, but was still made into quilts, quilts, cushions, and futons. Cui even began to try to use cotton cushions to decorate carriages. According to Cui, it can effectively isolate the noise from outside.
, and the owner’s body will not be damaged by sudden bumps.
It's ridiculous to say that Pingkangfang has the greatest demand for these cotton products produced by the Yun family. Yunchu had to admit that the first place to use new things in any era is basically the entertainment industry.
The entertainment industry is always an industry that seeks novelty, change, and novelty. Their acceptance of new things is far more than that of the old-fashioned nobles, wealthy families, and poor people.
What Liu Rengui is doing now is very shameful.
Not only did he raise a lot of chickens at home, but he also had two huge earthworm ponds. Not only did his house smell bad all day long, there were rumors that his chickens would jump on the stove and peck at his wife.
It was left to Liu Rengui’s dinner.
However, even the well-informed Yun Chu had to admit that Liu Rengui's family really had a lot of chickens.
In other words, Liu Rengui's family is now a huge chicken coop.
There were chickens everywhere on the walls, trees, and roofs. Whenever Liu Rengui asked his servants to dig out earthworms, chop them, mix them with rice bran, and feed them to the chickens, their chickens would fly out from all over the place.
Clouds cover the sun.
Yun Chu, Wen Wen, and Di Renjie were stunned, but Liu Rengui was so mesmerized that he couldn't help himself.
"I only relied on a small amount of rice bran and earthworms to achieve this great feat in half a year. What do you three think?"
Yun Chu looked at the green official robes of the three of them and the white ivory wat boards on their waists, and felt that something was not quite right about what happened today.
The official in red official robes bravely rushed into the chickens, caught a chicken with his bare hands, grabbed the two feet of the chicken with one hand, let the unlucky chicken flutter around, raised it in front of the three people and said: "Five."
Ten cents!"
Wen Wenwen was horrified and used the wat board to protect his face and retreated repeatedly. He really couldn't understand that Liu Rengui solemnly invited the three of them to his house for a drink today, but instead he saw a large group of chickens.
Among the three, only Yunchu understood Liu Rengui's thoughts better, so he grabbed the chicken with a smile, tried to figure out how fat it was, and said to Liu Rengui in surprise: "This chicken is very fat."
Liu Rengui stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "I asked the steward of the Guangfufang Canteen to come to my house and estimate the price for the two hundred and sixty chickens. The canteen was willing to pay fifty cents per chicken.
acquisition.
Two hundred and six chickens are thirteen coins.
Yun Chu, what do you think of my implementation of such good governance in the countryside of Chang'an County?"
Yun Chu sighed and said: "If there are many hens in these chickens, you can not sell them temporarily, let these hens lay eggs exclusively, sell the eggs, and wait until the hens stop laying eggs before selling the chickens, your income will be even higher
.
However, let’s talk first. If you want to expand the scope of raising chickens, don’t involve me in Wannian County. I’m worried that after tempting people to raise chickens, there will suddenly be a chicken plague. By then, not only the chickens will die, but people will also be hanged.
people."
The enthusiasm on Liu Rengui's face dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye. He took the chicken from Yun Chu's hand and threw it away. He sighed and said, "I'm still a little too anxious.
Come in, Zhuo Jing has already prepared the food and wine. Liu Rengui hates banquets in his life, but Zhuo Jing must thank you for supporting my two naughty sons. I have no choice but to make do with it."
Entering the atrium of Liu Rengui's house, there are no chickens here, but there are many vegetables growing in the area that was originally a garden.
Originally, the host's family had a banquet table under the corridor. It looked pretty good and hearty, mainly with a lot of chicken.
Di Renjie's eyes kept scanning Liu Rengui's home. He wanted to find evidence from the current furnishings that Liu Rengui was a traitor but a traitor. Unfortunately, he failed. Although everything here was old, it was arranged neatly. This shows that
, Liu Rengui’s family looks like this on weekdays.
Even after arriving at the atrium, Wen Wen still felt that Liu Rengui's house had a vague smell.
Yunchu has long been used to it because he has been here so many times.
Liu Rengui is not a person who can be bribed or won over with emotions. He is an extremely orthodox Confucian gentleman with his own set of pursuits.
With Di Renjie and Wen Wenrou around, Liu Rengui basically didn't talk to Yun Chu about business matters and just kept trying to persuade him to drink.
Even if he spoke, he would only talk about some of his past experiences. Under Yun Chu's questioning, he had already recounted his great achievements in resisting Emperor Taizong.
After drinking and eating, Yun Chu, Di Renjie and Wen Wen left Liu Rengui's house.
Yunchu sat on the maroon horse and asked Di Renjie, "Did you see anything?"
Di Renjie said: "Liu Rengui seems to be preparing for a long journey."
Wen Wen nodded and said, "Not only is he prepared for a long journey, he even takes the initiative to isolate himself from outsiders."
Yun Chu said: "You mean those chickens?"
Nodding softly, she said: "Liu Rengui was born in a poor family, and he is not a poor man who has never seen anything in the world.
His wife is not a farm girl either. She makes her home smelly, which is not in line with Liu Rengui's background, nor is it in line with his wife's behavior.
I even thought that today’s banquet was a farewell banquet for him to say goodbye to you.”
Yun Chu raised his head and looked at the distant mountains, which were gradually becoming more autumnal, and said, "Goguryeo, he once told me a few days ago that if you don't go to Goguryeo in this life, you will be a minister in vain."
Wen Wen shook his head and said: "If this matter is kept secret, then it goes without saying that Liu Rengui must have been sent to Beihai County to build ships."
Di Renjie frowned and said: "Beihai is not a good place, especially for things like shipbuilding.
Back then, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built ships in Beihai County to attack Goguryeo, which caused the shipbuilding craftsmen to get maggots from the waist down, and finally created people like Wang Bo.
The matter of shipbuilding is a pain in the hearts of the people in Hebei and Shandong, and it is a pain that cannot be touched.
If Liu Rengui takes the order to supervise the construction of warships this time, I believe it will not be smooth sailing for him."
Wen Wen added: "Many people know that your Majesty is preparing to attack Goguryeo. However, if you want to attack Goguryeo, land is one aspect, but naval warfare is also another aspect.
Your Majesty has been looking for ministers who can supervise the construction of ships a long time ago. As far as I know, since Emperor Taizong's conquest of Goguryeo, a total of six people have gone to Beihai to supervise the construction of warships. Two died in office, three were demoted and punished by Your Majesty, and
A man disappeared on the sea in a small boat.
Therefore, going to the North Sea to build ships is definitely not a good job. You have the right time, the right place, the right people, and almost none of these three things. Failure is inevitable."
Yunchu sighed and said: "I once suggested to Your Majesty that Liu Rengui should be allowed to take charge of the cotton textile workshop, but His Majesty rejected it without even thinking about it.
It seems that Lao Liu has really received the worst job this time. You said, the previous six people have failed, why does he think he can do it? "
Wen Wen looked up to the sky and sighed: "This is the disadvantage of loyal ministers, because loyal ministers always only accept and do not make choices. We brothers must be careful in the future."
After returning home, Yunchu was still thinking about this matter. He did not remember that there was any record in history of Liu Rengui supervising the construction of warships.
However, with him in Silla and Baekje, he showed his power and defeated the Japanese navy.
Yunchu vaguely felt that the performance of the cotton textile workshop might have been too good, which changed Liu Rengui's original life trajectory.
Regarding this possibility, Yunchu could only smile bitterly in return.
Yu Xiurong was very strange today. He did not hold his own Mei Yu'er or Caiyun Niang, but Wu Meisheng's Yu Nu'er.
This child looks very well-behaved today. Although his hair is sparse on his huge head, he has a sky-high braid and a gaudy floral dress. The dress seems to be too small at first glance, and it strangles this fat child like a silkworm.
, section by section.
Yu Xiurong waved the child in front of Yun Chu in a showy way and said, "Isn't this floral dress good-looking?"
Yun Chu curled his lips and said, "When making clothes for your children from now on, remember to make them more fitting. Our family doesn't lack that kind of clothing material."
As soon as Yun Chu finished speaking, the nurse responsible for taking care of the child began to stagger, as if she would faint if she received any more stimulation.
Yu Xiurong said: "This is what the queen made for her daughter. What are you talking nonsense about?"
Yun Chu frowned and unbuttoned the child's neck. It was obvious that the neck collar was too small, which made the child groan and gasp, saying something about whether it looked good or not.
The next time the female official comes back, you can pack a dress suitable for the child and ask her to take it back. If the queen misses her daughter, she can make it according to the size of the dress."
As Yun Chu spoke, he took off the child's flowery clothes and gave it to the wet nurse, asking her to keep it safe. In any case, this was a rare display of maternal love by Wu Mei, and it was indeed worth cherishing.
