The fact that Cui's nanny was coming to teach at Yun's family was publicized by Yun Chu and Yu Xiurong, and everyone in Chang'an knew about it.
The top priority of the propaganda was the one thousand taels of gold, a bucket of pearls, a hundred pieces of silk and satin, and four good horses.
When they went out, Yu Xiurong laid out the bundles prepared for the Etiquette Grandma on the carriage without a shed. Everyone could see a thousand taels of gold, a bucket of pearls, hundreds of pieces of silk and satin, and the extremely tidy things that had been packed away.
Four good horses with a clean spirit.
Now the Yun family's guard of honor has arrived at Cui's gate, but Cui's door is tightly closed, and there is not even a person to come up to provide support. This means that something has gone wrong, and it is a big mistake.
Changsun Chong came to the end of the arcade of Gao Shilian's house, looked at Cui's closed door, and said with a smile: "Have you made an agreement with Cui?"
Yun Chu scratched his hair and said, "It's agreed."
Changsun Chong asked again: "Who did you agree with? Cui Qian?"
Yun Chu said: "Follow Cui Yao, Cui's nanny."
After listening to Yun Chu's words, Changsun Chong almost lost his breath. He held on to the railing and said, "You mean you reached an agreement with the nun who teaches ethics, but you didn't reach an agreement with the head of the Cui family, right?"
Yun Chu replied with a smile: "As far as I know, Mr. Cui Yao is not a slave of the Cui family, but just a member of the clan. She has the right to decide whether she will stay or go."
Changsun Chong was stunned for a moment and said: "As far as I know, your doing this is no different from giving and receiving privately. It doesn't make sense logically."
Yun Chu pointed to the gold, pearls, silks and fine horses on the carriage behind him and said, "So I gave Cui some compensation."
Changsun Chong's eyes were as wide as bells and he screamed: "Is this okay?"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "According to the records of the Clan Chronicle published by the imperial court, the Yun family should be a third-class family now, right?"
Changsun Chong nodded and said: "That's right, after you become the Marquis of Guannei with your military merits, you are considered a third-class family."
"But do you really think that the "Clan Chronicle" records that the Cui family is a fourth-class family, and their family is a fourth-class family?"
Yun Chu couldn't help but laugh and said: "When Mr. Zhao came to visit the Cui family and returned without success, is it because you think the Cui family is not a fourth-class family?"
The smile on Changsun Chong's face slowly faded, and he looked at Yunchu and said, "Maybe it was because my grandfather thought too much back then, or maybe it was because my grandfather was too shameless, and because my grandfather felt that we should abide by the old rules.
"There are rules"
"Whatever Marquis Yun wants to do, do it now, I'm just here to take a look."
Yun Chu smiled and handed the prepared greeting card to his housekeeper Liu Yi. Liu Yi then came to Cui's dark ebony door with the greeting card in hand, and rang the door knocker. The brass door knocker collided with the ebony.
The sweet sound spread far and wide. Just a door knocker showed Cui's extraordinaryness.
Immediately, the small door next to Cui's main door opened, and a middle-aged man in shackles came out. This man had a long beard. He raised his head and looked at Yun Chu, who was still sitting on the maroon horse. He cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Yun."
What happened?"
When Yunchu saw Cui Zhen, Cui Gan's younger brother, he dismounted and returned the courtesy: "As promised, I am the female gentleman of the Yun family who has come to greet me."
Cui Zhen looked at Yun Chu and said, "Why don't I know?"
Yun Chu then glanced at Yu Xiurong, who had just gotten out of the carriage and was dressed in a rich dress, and said: "These are all small things that women talk about. It is reasonable for men like me not to know."
Yu Xiurong smiled as Cui Zhenshi, a middle-aged man in Chao Mingyi, said politely: "Half a month ago, in the Cui family's back house, the young lady met Mr. Cui Yao very happily and settled the matter."
"Mrs. Cui was also present at the time and did not stop her."
"We have also agreed on the repairs. Please inform the master of the family and open the door to greet me. My husband is a Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, so it is disrespectful to be shut out by the Cui family like this."
Cui Zhen, a man in tattered clothes, squinted his eyes and said, "If my wife remembers correctly, what she said at that time should be, 'Even if it costs you a thousand taels of gold, you will never take Mr. Yao away from my house.'"
Yu Xiurong blinked her big eyes and said, "Yes, that's why my husband specially prepared three thousand taels of gold."
Without waiting for Cui Zhen to reply, Changsun Chong, who was standing on the arcade watching the excitement, laughed and said, "This is the most reasonable thing I have ever heard in my life. It is true. You can't hire a gentleman with one thousand taels of gold. You can't hire a gentleman with three thousand taels."
Of course gold is fine.”
Cui Zhen looked up at Changsun Chong and said, "You can't say that."
Yu Xiurong chuckled and said: "I am just an ignorant woman. After hearing what Mrs. Cui said, I immediately went back happily to prepare for repair. These three thousand taels of gold have completely drained the Yun family's wealth.
"
Cui Zhen looked at Yun Chu and said, "Is Marquis Yun asking the Overlord to forcefully bow his bow?"
Yun Chu said with a smile: "The head of the Cui Qian family lost his life last year."
"I heard that a new head of the family has not been elected yet. What Mrs. Cui said is of course true to her word. If Brother Cui wants to make the decision, he should wait until you become the head of the Cui family."
Cui Zhen took a step forward and stared into Yun Chu's eyes and said, "Marquis Yun is trying to deceive me, the Cui family, because there is no one, right?"
Yunchu also looked seriously into Cui Zhen's eyes and said, "The Cui family already has too many fields in Qinghe to count, so why are they still looking at the Yongye fields of the people in Wannian County?"
Cui Zhen said expressionlessly: "The ability of Marquis Yun to frame others needs to be further cultivated. The Cui family only has one farm in Wannian County, with no more than a hundred acres of land. It is a garden used for growing vegetables at home. If this is also
It’s considered an invasion of people’s land, and Cui has nothing to say.”
Yun Chu smiled.
He said to Cui Zhen, "I'm just saying casually. Please ask Brother Cui to open the door and let a certain family in, otherwise the Yun family's guard of honor will not be able to disperse."
Cui Zhen shook his head and said: "The Cui family has been a Chinese family for thousands of years and has never opened the door of their home due to coercion."
Yunchu sighed and said: "Don't say it so well, it's just a matter of deceiving the people. Cao Cao and his soldiers entered the gate of your house, and Sima Yi and his soldiers went in. I heard that the murderous emperor Shi Hu of Hou Zhao
You can do whatever you want when you enter your house, but don't talk about how good you are. Open the door quickly. I will take Mr. Cui Yao away and leave three thousand taels of gold. Why don't we all take a step back?"
Cui Zhen was not irritated by Yun Chu's words. Instead, he calmed down and said to Yun Chu: "I heard that Marquis Yun broke through the pass and stormed the city like walking on the ground. Why don't you try to see if Cui's ebony gate is strong?"
Yunchu smiled when he heard this, and then said to Changsun who was watching the excitement: "You heard it too, it was Mrs. Cui who asked me to rush through the door."
Changsun Chong lost the smile on his face and looked at Yun Chu and said: "I heard it very clearly. Cui Zhen said: I heard that Marquis Yun broke through the pass and stormed the city like walking on the ground. Why not try to see if Cui's ebony gate is strong?"
Yun Chu then said to the housekeepers and confidants of the Xungui family who had gathered around him at some point to watch the excitement: "You should have heard it clearly, right?"
Those stewards and confidants who were watching the excitement and did not think it was a big deal suddenly shouted: "Marquis Yun, just do whatever you want, we can all hear it clearly."
Yun Chu turned around with a smile and said to Cui Zhen, who looked fearless: "There is a man named Du Chongming in Qujiangfang. He is an inconspicuous small businessman in Qujiangfang. When a certain company first developed Qujiangfang,
This person is unknown, but after a few years, this Du Chongming, with the shrewdness of a small businessman, actually became the richest man in Qujiangfang."
"In Qujiangfang, I raise chickens, ducks, fish, and pigs, build brick kilns, submerge the land into a city, build a Hu people's market, and establish trading rules. The purpose of doing this is to enrich the people and make them prosperous."
"Finally, when I looked back and reviewed the achievements of Qujiangfang over the years, I was shocked to find that the people had received some benefits, but the biggest benefit was quietly given to this person named Du Chongming."
Cui Zhen laughed and said, "Is there anything wrong with him?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "We are checking, no matter what, we will find it."
Cui Zhen laughed and said, "Marquis Yun is so incompetent and furious!"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "My incompetence is not only limited to this, but also to Cao Hui in Guangmingli, Zhao Ting from Ma Qianpo, Qu Tianming from Xinfeng City, and even Feng from Dongmingli.
Just like this, when people suddenly asked me for money while they were planting cotton this year, I felt that after years of planning by a certain family in Wannian County, a mere thirty cents was nothing to the people of Wannian County."
Search w\./w\./w\./7\.4\./w\./x\./v\./i\./p\./
"But for this mere subsidy of thirty cents per acre of land, the people ignored the good governance I have implemented for many years and attacked me en masse."
"A certain family was so angry that they thought it was caused by the greed of these people. Later, when I calmed down, I asked an expert to help me investigate, and then I found out that I have worked hard to run Wannian County over the years. In the end, most of the benefits from my operation have gone into the country.
It fell into the hands of five emerging powerful people: Du Chongming, Cao Hui, Zhao Ting, Qu Tianming, and Feng Zheng."
"The reason why people care about the thirty cents is because they really lack that thirty cents."
"You know the temperament of poor people. You can sell new silk in February, buy new grain in May, heal the sores in front of your eyes, and cut out the flesh in your heart."
"In order to heal my parents and feed my children, the kindness that Yun gave to the people of Wannian County is really nothing."
Cui Zhen sneered and said, "What does the wealth of those people have to do with me, the Cui family?"
Yun Chu laughed loudly and said: "So a certain family has no choice but to become furious. Come and help me attack the city!"
Following the order from Yun Chu, whose eyes were gradually turning red, the Yun family servants who were originally neatly dressed left and took off their clothes. After overturning a carriage, two handles six feet long and two feet in diameter were wrapped at both ends.
The trumpet battering ram with the iron hoop was divided into two groups by eight big men, lifting the iron chain on it, and walked towards Cui's gate with neat steps.
A large group of green-clothed slaves suddenly poured out of Cui's small gate, holding iron chains, iron rulers, and knives and axes in front of Cui's gate. At the same time, hundreds of strong men brought by Yun Chu also emerged from the gate.
Wooden sticks were pulled out from the carriage and guarded in front of Yu Xiurong and the Cui family's female relatives. Waiting for Yunchu's order, they were ready to disperse these Cui family's evil slaves so that their companions carrying the battering ram could break open the Cui family's door.
Seeing that Yun Chu's eyes had turned red, Cui Zhen yelled: "Marquis Yun, wait a minute, the Cui family agrees to the Yun family's invitation to hire Mr. Cui Yao to join the Yun family."
Yun Chu, who was originally manic and like a beast about to explode, calmed down and looked at Cui Zhen and said: "Really?"
Cui Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Really"
Yunchu burst out laughing and said to Changsun Chong, who was standing on the wall watching the excitement: "Look, I didn't lie to you. Mrs. Cui really agreed."
Changsun Chong's eyes flickered, and after a while he raised his hands and said, "Congratulations to Marquis Yun for adding a general to the family."
