Chapter 74: Dare I ask Mr. Lang if my son is brave enough to fight?
It's fine to keep things official, and you can make some adjustments based on the actual situation. However, if there is nothing that you really can't stand, basically no adjustments will be made.
There are only two managers in Jinchangfang, one is Li Chang Yunchu, and the other is Fangzheng Liu Yi. Everyone knows that Yunchu is the one who keeps the word here in Jinchangfang, and Liu Yi is just the one who conveys orders.
The residents of Jinchangfang already have a deep understanding of this point.
Although there was only a bowl of porridge to drink at the banquet, everyone in Jinchangfang got to know Yunchu and his family, and they also knew that there was a little lady Hu Ji and Eleven in their family. A servant.
In half a month, Yunchu will go to Sidu School to study. He wants to arrange everything here before enrolling.
Three days had passed since the last time he went to the county government to look for Sun Hucao. Before Yun Chu could find Sun Hucao, he took the initiative to find him.
"Magistrate Lu approved Jinchangfang's request to renovate the gate." Sunhu Cao worriedly returned Yunchu's document for building the gate to him.
Yun Chu opened the document and saw a huge quasi character written in red pen on it.
Sun Hucao said again: "I still don't understand why County Magistrate Lu agreed to your request. I always feel that this is an act of looking for trouble."
Yun Chu looked at Sun Hu Cao with pity and said: "Anyone who still wants to be promoted will take this matter seriously. Only people like you who feel there is no hope of promotion will live a life of muddling along.
Where is the government funding I want to build the gate?”
Sunhu Cao sighed and took out a warrant from his arms and gave it to Yunchu: "The county government doesn't have much copper coins, so the only thing it can give is five hundred dans of grain from the county government's granary!"
Yun Chu took the warrant, checked it, and then asked, "They are all this year's new grain."
Sunhu Cao nodded and said: "Yes, I don't know why the county magistrate is so serious about your repairing the gate. All settlements will be considered first-class.
This grain is naturally this year's autumn grain, and it is all wheat, with no millet, millet, sorghum, or beans."
Yunchu asked again: "How are the wheat and sorghum in the official warehouse exchanged?"
Sunhu Cao frowned and said, "You want sorghum, but not wheat?"
Yun Chu said: "In a successful market, enough food must be stored so that the residents can resist hunger and cold.
Millet, millet is not easy to store. Although wheat is a good thing, it is prone to corruption.
By replacing it with sorghum rice, which people don't like to eat and is easy to store, corruption incidents can be prevented.
When disaster strikes, these sorghums will be good."
Sun Hu Cao looked at Yun Chu in astonishment and said, "You should be the Hu Cao of mine."
Yun Chu said disdainfully: "The captain of Zhechong Mansion also said the same thing before. He thought I should join his Zhechong Mansion as a clerk and join the army."
Sunhu Cao said: "Why don't you go? That's a seventh grade position."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "When I graduate from the fourth school, I will also graduate from the seventh grade official position, maybe it will be higher.
Which one do you think can get a better position, a clerk of Zhechong Mansion who joins the army or a student who graduates from four majors?"
Sunhu Cao sighed and said: "A person who has studied the four disciplines will be an official on the right path. However, even if people have such thoughts, they will hide them. Why do you say it so openly?"
Yun Chu laughed loudly and said: "Old Sun, in officialdom, what is important is not modesty and prudence, but heroic spirit.
Shangguan officers have so many things that need to be dealt with day by day. If people like us can't get into Shangguan's sight as quickly as possible, and we still want to be promoted in this life, are we going to wait for Shangguan to slowly find out?"
Sunhu Cao smiled awkwardly and said: "I think you can be the magistrate of our Wannian County in the future."
Yun Chu nodded and said, "I think so too."
Sun Hucao, who was originally full of questions, was once again shattered by Yun Chu's words. He didn't know if what Yun Chu said was right or not. He only knew that he should go back as soon as possible and put Yun Chu in the right place.
I told Magistrate Lu exactly what I had said to him at first.
The advantage of being the head of the village is that whether it is the money given by Daci'en Temple or the food given by Wannian County Government, it will all fall into Yunchu's hands, and he will make specific distribution or use.
At this time, power appears.
With these powers, if the people of Jinchangfang want to obtain these benefits, they can only follow Yunchu's instructions.
Therefore, it was natural for people to forget that Yun Chu once chased them on horseback and brandished a baseball bat, and they also naturally forgot that Yun Chu stood at the gate of the square to check whether their clothes were neat and whether their heads and faces were clean.
Disgusting face.
Under high pressure, the more benefits provided to the residents, the higher their expectations and tolerance will become.
After Jinchangfang turned into a large construction site that was almost closed, Yunchu came to He Yuanshan's home.
He Yuanshan's home is right next to Baqiao, but in winter there are no willows, only the cold wind blows in his face.
The money left by He Yuanshan was not much, less than 200,000 yuan, and Yunchu made up the amount by 200,000 yuan. The weight of the money was less than 200 kilograms, so it could be loaded on a carriage.
The driver was Jiu Fei from the Yun family. His face looked like it had been fried in a frying pan, which was very scary. However, his driving skills were very good.
"Why are you putting your face in a frying pan and frying it?" Yun Chu asked, sitting on the shaft of the car, seemingly carelessly.
"If you don't have the face to meet people, it's better not to have this face." Jiu Fei answered casually, as if he was chatting with Yun Chu.
"Well, you're right, but when you did shameless things, didn't you think about the people who still care about your face?
What your face looks like has nothing to do with others. Even if others see it, they won’t remember who you are. What you want to hide is just those people who care about your face. Can you tell me?"
Jiu Fei shook his head and said, "I don't even have the face I had before. I just don't want others to know what I did in the past. Naturally, I can't tell anyone, lest I have to blow up my face again."
Yun Chu nodded and said: "That's right, then you can be your Jiu Fei, but this time you can't do anything to disgrace Jiu Fei."
Jiu Fei swung his whip and said, "With my current status, I can't do anything that would make me fry my face again."
Yun Chu took this sentence as a promise. If Jiu Fei did something to disappoint him next time, don't blame him for being ruthless.
Baqiao is a bridge over the Bahe River. He Yuanshan's home is located in Huoshuo Village next to Baqiao.
Guanzhong has been inhabited since ancient times, and it is close to Chang'an, the center of the story. Therefore, as long as it is an ancient village, there must be some legends.
Huoshao Village is naturally a village with stories, but the stories here are rather bizarre.
The reason why the village is called Huoshao Village is because it is too close to Lujiabao, the natal home of Empress Lu of the Western Han Dynasty.
On the 13th day of the ninth lunar month in 196 BC, Empress Lu designed to trick Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, into Weiyang Palace and had him killed.
As a result, Han Xin was so angry that his head turned into a big fireball, rolling eastward, trying to burn Lujiabao, Empress Lu's natal home, to ashes.
The result was very bad. Lujiabao was not burned, but Huoshao Village was burned down. Fortunately, the Dragon King of Bahe reminded him and told Han Xin's head that he had burned the wrong person. The flames on Han Xin's head were extinguished immediately, and there were still tears on Han Xin's head.
Two tears of grievance finally disappeared into the pile of sand.
From then on, this unknown village became a burning village.
He Yuanshan's ashes were put in a sheepskin bag by Yun Chu. The bones were stored very completely without any omissions. Therefore, He Yuanshan returned to his hometown intact.
When Yun Chu came to the door of He Yuanshan's house, there was still a tall soul-calling flag hanging on the lintel of his house.
Jiu Fei went to knock on the door first and informed Yun Chu of his intention. Suddenly, the sound of crying in the yard became loud again.
A woman wearing heavy mourning stumbled out with the support of two young men also wearing heavy mourning. When she saw Yun Chu, she knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word.
Yun Chu accepted their gift with peace of mind. He collected the corpses of their husbands and fathers on the battlefield and sent their bones back thousands of miles away. This kind of kindness was the same as reconstruction, and there was nothing inappropriate about it.
After the woman paid homage to the two young men, Yun Chu looked at a white-haired old woman who was leaning on the door frame and said, "Old madam, a certain family brought Brother He Yuanshan back completely, not even a single bit missing."
The old woman choked up and couldn't speak. She wanted to kneel down, but Yun Chu helped her up first. He took the sheepskin bag containing He Yuanshan's bones from Jiufei's hand and put it in the old woman's arms and said, "This is your son."
The old woman held the bones in her arms and shed tears. She gently stroked the sheepskin bag and said, "My son from a distant mountain, you were only this heavy when you were born."
The old woman's words immediately made all the family members present cry so hard that they fell to the ground unable to get up.
Instead, the old woman put away her tears, looked at Yun Chu and said, "May I ask you, sir, if my son is brave enough to fight?"
This question involved a matter of etiquette. Yunchu did not dare to neglect it. He raised his thumbs and the other eight fingers of his hands together, and said loudly in front of the swarming neighbors: "At that time, thirty thousand Turkic bandits invaded our western region, Qiuci."
In the city, eight people from the Yamen of Daguan and 1,500 people from Zhechong Mansion of Shangzhou were ordered by Liang Wuhou, the general manager of the Gongyue Road march, to defend the city and firmly attract the Turkic bandits to attack the city and wait for the arrival of the army.
As the Commander of the Great Pass of Kucha, He Yuanshan led seven of us and other members of the Great Pass at the top of the city of Kucha, united with the barbarian people in the city, and fought fiercely with the Turkic bandits for six days and nights, inflicting numerous casualties and still fighting fiercely without retreating.
In the early morning of the seventh day, the Tang army had arrived at the outskirts of Kucha City. Our troops were ordered to cooperate with the Tang army outside the city to attack the Turkic bandits.
He Yuanshan ordered the remaining people in the city to light the tails of camels and yaks as the vanguard of the charge.
Then, three people from the Daguan Ling Yamen, He Yuanshan, Liu Xiong, and Yun Chu, followed Huo Niu to attack the Turkic bandit camp.
He Yuanshan fought bravely, was hit by countless arrows, and his horse fell to death. He continued to move forward bravely on foot, fighting endlessly, until he fell to the ground exhausted, still urging us to leave him alone and just move forward.
A certain family was hit by thirteen arrows. Fortunately, they were able to wait for reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty. They slept in the wounded barracks for two days and nights before they could survive.
Then, a certain family went to the battlefield in person and found the bones of He Yuanshan. Due to the hot weather, the body was so mutilated that a certain family had to incinerate He Yuanshan's corpse on the spot. More than two kilograms of Turkic arrowheads were picked out from the bones.
So! Who dares to say that He Yuanshan is not brave in fighting, and who dares to say that He Yuanshan is timid in fighting?"
