In the Tang Dynasty, the only people who could be called the most powerful in the army by Yunchu were the soldiers in various Zichong mansions.
As for the personal soldiers under the generals and generals, they are not loyal to their masters.
Just like the bad guys under Yun Chu, they only recognize Yun Chu.
Today we are as close to these commanders as one family, and the guards are naturally brothers in the same trench.
If they have a falling out with their master tomorrow, they will fight you with swords every minute, and there will be no sign of friendship when they kill you.
These people often only value their own interests. As long as the Lord raises his arms and prepares to rebel, they will immediately become the absolute main force.
Therefore, a thousand of Qibi Heli's personal guards died, and no one except Qibi Heli's clan members cared.
Whether Qibi Heli can survive depends on the final game between the emperor and Changsun Wuji.
Although not many people have seen this, there are still some.
Of course, these people do not include him, Guo Daifeng.
With his ability, he cannot be a marquis. He has no ability to be a marquis, but he still occupies a high position. He is also an ambitious person who only wants to climb up. This kind of person generally ends badly.
Wannian County and Chang'an County jointly closed the city and found no suspicious Silla people. However, the foreign maids and servants in Yuchi Gong's family were interrogated by Yuchi Gong's son, Yuchi Baolin, and all were killed.
The ones from Li Ji's family, Su Dingfang, and Cheng Yaojin's family were not killed, but all were disposed of at a low price.
The Yun family had no foreign maids or servants, so there was no need for this. When the emperor was conferring titles, he also had population rewards. Yun Chu refused the slaves assigned to him and only accepted some of the feudal households in the Bashang fiefdom.
.
Because of Li Ji's assassination, the slave trade in Chang'an City once again suffered a heavy blow.
Many of the slaves in the hands of the three Wang brothers are in danger of falling into their hands.
After Yun Chu told Wen Wen and Di Renjie the story of He Lanmin's bloody battle that he heard from the Imperial Hospital, even Wen Wen and Di Renjie, two guys who had left their composure, were speechless after hearing this.
It's scary to think about it. At that time, Helan Minzhi had a broken leg, and the nails on eight of his ten fingers had just peeled off. He was still able to subdue the Tibetan woman who looked like a leopard while one leg was in a plaster.
The three people present had nothing to say except to express their admiration.
Compared with He Lan Minzhi, Xu Jiye can only be regarded as a playboy.
The New Year's Eve is coming soon, and Yun Chu estimates that the fighting in Chang'an City should also stop.
After discussing with Wen Wen and Master Wan, they once again distributed some New Year supplies. After the monetary reward, Wannian County locked its office three days in advance and stopped working.
The county government is no longer busy, but the officials inside the county government are busy with the two large canteens and the Lantern Festival celebrations.
This is about making money and has nothing to do with whether they are officials or not. Of course, I don’t know if others believe this, but at least Yun Chu believes it.
The best food in the world comes from Chang'an, and all the delicious food in Chang'an can be found in the big dining hall.
Before the New Year, the large canteens of Jinchangfang and Guangfufang had already put out advertisements, so the water gate of Chang'an City began to transport cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, fish, and
Countless game.
In the first few days, Jinchangfang was filled with a strong smell of blood. As long as those living creatures entered Jinchangfang, there was no possibility of survival.
After the bloody smell dissipated, Jinchangfang was surrounded by the rich aroma of cooking meat again. The content of this aroma is very complex. No matter what kind of meat you like, you can find your favorite in this aroma.
A man in Tsing Yi with an overweight giant bear was standing in the back of the big kitchen, looking at the mountains of fried fish in front of him with a smile on his face.
Even if he knew that what these fat cooks were throwing into the frying pan was carp, he would pretend not to see it, as long as he saw the fat cooks fish out strips of fried, crispy fish from the huge frying pan.
Carp, he is happy.
In the place that covers more than an acre of land, all kinds of meat are piled up like a mountain. It is a real mountain, not an adjective.
"Your Majesty, these people have to process up to 120,000 catties of fresh fish before sending it to Kitchen Lord. What you see now is only one of the six workshops."
Yunchu didn't know why Li Zhi suddenly came to Jinchangfang, but since he was here, he had to let him see clearly and carefully.
"Twenty thousand catties? Is that much?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know. People in Guanzhong were not so keen on eating fish in the past. They disliked the smell of fish and the many thorns in fish. Since the big canteen introduced braised fish and sweet and sour fish, people in Chang'an have slowly begun to accept eating fish.
.
It’s just that the big canteen has to prepare the fish and prepare the ingredients, then they take it back and throw it into the pot, add water and slurp it, and it’s a delicious meal.”
Li Zhi looked at the cooked beef piled there and said, "It's not farm cattle, right?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "How many of our ministers dare to touch the cattle? These cattle come from Tuyuhun and Longyou Plateau."
Li Zhi stroked the giant bear's head and said, "Did Xu Jingye sell it to you?"
"Your Majesty, some of your wisdom is indeed from Tyuhun Dafeichuan, and the other part is from Hezhou."
Li Zhi laughed and said: "It is difficult to be a wenggu without being deaf or mute. I am just a silent wenggu now. Just do whatever you want. Sooner or later, the censor will notice your behavior."
If you want to make money, just make money honestly, don’t wait until the imperial censor’s impeachment memorial comes out, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
Yun Chu said quickly: "What are you doing? There used to be a lot of cattle and sheep in the place where there was no one. And if these cattle and sheep are sent to Chang'an, they can reduce a lot of food consumption. This is very important to the country and the people."
Something beneficial.
Nowadays, Wannian County can no longer find a piece of vacant land as big as a palm, and the people are eager to plant cotton on their own beds.
They are all a group of hungry and scared people. Now, thanks to His Majesty's great blessing, not only are they well fed and warmly clothed, but they can occasionally have a bite or two of meat in their stomachs and a sip of wine. For the common people, this is a rare and prosperous age.
Your Majesty’s merit.”
As he spoke, he picked up a large piece of cooked beef and said to Li Zhi: "Such a piece of beef is enough for an adult man to eat energetically for three days, and it can save a lot of food."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "False, everyone knows that meat is more delicious and resists hunger. Unfortunately, until now, only the ordinary people in Wannian County can eat a few mouthfuls of meat all year round. It is considered rare."
As Li Zhi spoke, he patted the giant bear on the head again. However, the giant bear remained unmoved by the mountains of meat in front of him, and even urged Li Zhi to leave quickly. It had too deep a memory of Yun Chu, so
The pain caused by the beating has been burned into its memory.
Seeing that the giant bear is so sensible, Li Zhi likes this giant bear that knows how to advance and retreat even more.
"So, just for the festival, Chang'an City will consume 500,000 catties of various meats?"
Yun Chu nodded and said, "Actually, it's still less. If we go by Wei Chen's calculations, Chang'an, a city with a population of one million, should consume at least one million kilograms of various meats during the festival.
Nowadays, only 500,000 jins are consumed, which is really too little."
Li Zhi also nodded as if he had some understanding. Although the meat he saw in Jinchangfang today was a lot, when averaged to the population of the entire Chang'an City, it was really not a lot.
“We cannot expect that all counties in the world will be like Wannian County. We only hope that all counties in the world will be on par with Wannian County.
If the remaining counties can have 30% of the wealth of Wannian County, the national power of our Datang Dynasty will surely reach a new level, and we will be able to do more great things."
Although he has become a marquis, Yun Chu is still not sure what the big event Li Zhi is talking about. However, even the emperor said it is a big event, so it should be a big, big thing.
The emperor came to Da Ci'en Temple today to fulfill his vow. He swore an oath in front of the statue of his mother. He didn't know what the oath was. Now, it has been fulfilled. I don't know how it was fulfilled. I heard from Naha that the offerings were very good.
It is rich and generous, and the charity can be called luxurious.
This time the emperor came to Jinchangfang alone. Wu Mei did not come, and even the prince Li Hong did not follow him.
It seemed that he just came to see the meat and then left without revealing much useful information in his words.
A very casual inspection... However, a creature like the emperor never does anything without a purpose. His words and deeds can be interpreted in many ways anytime and anywhere.
After all, everyone in the Tang Dynasty wanted to look at him alive.
On this day, the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, the Minister of Household Affairs, the Prince Zhan Shi, the Inspector Taichang Qing, Shen Guogong, and the Prince Consort Gao Xiuxian were assassinated in the imperial city. Their heads were missing from the Dian Shufang at the end of Ann Shangmen Street.
.
According to Di Renjie, who came back after surveying the scene, after the Prince Consort was beheaded, he still sat cross-legged on the futon, with blood splattered on the beams. The body did not fall down, and in his hand was a copy of "Five Classics of Justice" compiled by Kong Yingda.
Not stained with blood.
"Who did it?" Yun Chu was surprised and couldn't help but ask Di Renjie.
Di Renjie, who was eating biscuits, said, "Wouldn't I have solved the case if I knew about it? However, one thing is very clear. The murderer was an acquaintance of the prime minister, and he died unexpectedly."
Wen Wen frowned and said, "Why did you kill Gao Xiuxi? What is he doing recently?"
When Di Renjie saw Yun Chu and Wen Wen, both of them began to question him, he spread his hands and said, "If you want to know, go check it out. I don't know anything."
Wen Wen said contemptuously: "Are you claiming that there is no case in this world that you can't solve?"
Yun Chu suddenly said to Wen Wen: "If there are only two of us in the room and you are reading a book, and I suddenly chop off your head with a knife, can you keep the body from falling?"
Wen Wen shook his head and said: "I don't know, I was already dead at that time, but I can guarantee that when you suddenly kill me, I will be defenseless.
Eh? What you mean is that the person who kills Gao Fuling must have a relationship with Gao Fuling to the level of our brothers, right?"
