Chapter 16: A Sincere Liar
In fact, Yun Chu didn't have the heart to deal with these people, he was now like an arrow, only thinking about how to find a sense of belonging in Chang'an as soon as possible, he didn't even accept the old sheepskin's step-by-step method, and naturally he wouldn't accept the help of these low-status businessmen.
Because of the different purposes, although the help is not accepted on the surface, but from the bottom of the heart to thank these people, but as long as someone like you release kindness, you must hurry up, this kind of opportunity is very precious, this Yunchu heart is like a mirror, not to mention, this precious sentiment has never been divided into classes.
Datang businessmen, speaking of which, are really a group of poor people, who have property, but in the eyes of the gate lords, they can't even get the least respect, and if their property is not strong backstage, it is even a problem to keep it.
In the Tang Dynasty at this time, a farmer was bullied by the powerful, and some were scholars who spoke up to help the farmer defeat the powerful, and they often won in the end.
Even if he accidentally kicked the iron plate and was lost by the powerful, the reputation he left behind can definitely make the future of the children and grandchildren of the scholar go further.
If you want to help a businessman who is bullied by the powerful...... Everyone will just spit in his face!
Merchants can only wear sackcloth soap clothes, soap-colored shoes with square heads, women are not allowed to wear colors when they marry, wear ayaluo, can not ride a carriage, can only ride a donkey, and ride an ox cart.
The sons of merchants are not allowed to enter the ranks, and they are not eligible to share the hereditary and saleable fields of Yongye Field, but can only divide the land, and those who will be taken back by the state after their death will have to pay a heavier tax than the farmer.
Li Shimin, the son of the Tang Dynasty, believes that businessmen do not produce and rely on buying low and selling high to make profits, but they are those who exploit the people.
In addition, Fang Xuanling, the legendary prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, said to the emperor: "Today's businessmen are cheap, and they are subordinate to the lower grades, and in a few months, the big ones will be polluted and the small ones will be humiliated by the state and county...... It means that the merchant insulted the high officials by giving money to the officials. ”
Therefore, being a businessman in Datang is really a fierce thing that can be called a catastrophe, and it is necessary to gamble on the future of future generations.
Although Yun Chu was waiting for the rabbit at this time, he had to divide the types of rabbits, if he accepted the kindness of the merchants, in the future, he could only deal with the circle of merchants, and there was no other possibility.
Just like when he used to sign a job after graduating from college, the most important first sign determines the height he can reach in the future.
Yun Chu believed that it was absolutely impossible for the Tang people to allow an excellent young man like him to wander into a foreign land in a confused way.
Therefore, he is ready to rely on this way to face the Tang Dynasty government, instead of the old sheepskin who has too much yearning for the Tang Dynasty and has become a little brainless, starting his own Tang Road from becoming a vassal of the Sui people.
As for his lack of Datang's identity certificate, it doesn't matter, this thing can be said to be lost.
As for his lack of clarity about his hometown and his inability to withstand inspection, it doesn't matter, he has a scar on his head from when he caught a rock sheep, which is very telling - he has lost a memory.
If you don't believe me, you can go to the great Apollus of the Aries tribe and ask how this beautiful Chinese boy was saved by the shepherdesss of the Aries tribe, Selema, and actively took care of his injuries.
As for why he remembered his name, it was even simpler, Yun Chu hung a jade plate carved from mutton fat white jade on his waist, which was engraved with "New rain falls in Nanshan, and the clouds in the mountain stream are born" Such a fresh and indifferent poem is called Yun Chusheng, which is not good, a bit like scolding, so it has to be called Yun Chu!
However, there is a high probability that such an interrogation will not appear, and a young man who appears suddenly should not be worth so much energy from them.
The process of government affairs has not changed much in the land of China for thousands of years.
It's not that these people are slacking off, it's that they don't have the time and energy to deal with so many little things.
Returning to Datang is a big thing for Yun Chu, and it is just a trivial matter for officials.
However, it is better to prepare more plans.
"I haven't seen such a beautiful little offspring for many years." A Tang voice suddenly drilled into Yun Chu's ears.
When I looked back, I found that it was a middle-aged fat man wearing a blue-green official robe and short hair.
It can be seen from this guy's walking posture that he should not have been a civilian official before, he should have been an unlucky guy who was kicked out of the ranks of military generals, in Datang, military generals are more noble than civilian officials.
This official uniform is obviously too small, a little ill-fitting, and it is tight and taut on this fat man, strangling the whole person like a silkworm, with several bulges.
The color of green and blue is the clothing of officials above the ninth grade of the Tang Dynasty.
This shirt is fat and thin for this fat man, but the length is appropriate, which can only show that this guy gained weight when this official uniform was delivered.
This guy's official uniform was obviously sent from the Guannai, because the Western Regions couldn't concoct such an official uniform for him, and time passed, and the samurai who left the army would become obese in a very short time, and this factor was probably not expected by the person who made the official uniform for him.
The above thinking is all between electricity and flint.
Yun Chu knew that the rabbit he had been waiting for had arrived, and the next thing was to see how he picked up the fat rabbit that he had delivered to his door.
What is the point of lying?
Be sincere!
Be sure to use your sincere words, sincere expressions, and sincere actions to deceive your target!
In this way, you can achieve your goal.
This set of things that had been used before Yun Chu was perfect, otherwise it would not have been reused at the age of twenty-eight.
Although this was his first real head-to-head confrontation with the Tang people, he was full of confidence.
Since Yun Chu himself had no way to prove that he was a Tang person, he had to hand over the task of identifying whether he was a Tang person to the government.
Yun Chu believed that he would definitely be able to withstand the government's scrutiny, which was why Yun Chu was reluctant to use the method given by the old sheepskin.
Although it is very risky, it should be the fastest in terms of profits.
On the whole, the rule of officials in the early Tang Dynasty was quite clear, and the personal ethics of officials in the early Tang Dynasty were basically trustworthy.
With these two foundations, Yun Chu thought that he was invincible.
So, Yun Chu turned around in confusion, and gently clasped his fists at the fat man opposite, and said, "The elder praised it falsely." ”
After speaking, he prepared to lead the horse out of the way, and motioned for the rough fat man to go first.
"Huh? Guanzhong baby? The rough and fat man didn't move, and was stunned for a while when he heard Yun Chu's standard Chang'an accent.
came to Yun Chu, looked him up and down for a long time, picked up Yun Chu's hand and looked up and down, and found that there was a layer of cocoons on the tiger's mouth, which was the trace left by Yun Chu's diligent practice of knives.
This is also in line with the characteristics of Guanzhong's children who are good at martial arts, and then look at Yun Chu's rectangular face with thick eyebrows and ridges and big eyes upturned, the fat man can already identify that this is a Guanzhong baby.
It's just that why did such a Guanzhong baby appear in this poor and remote place? Could it be that he secretly ran out to find his father and brother who served in the border army?
Although there are not many such things, they are not uncommon,
Just as he was about to speak, he saw the row of homemade brushes that were inadvertently exposed by the cowhide backpack behind Yun Chu, so he frowned and asked, "Have you ever read a book?" ”
Yun Chu's expression became painful, as if he had fallen into a nightmare.
The rough fat man looked at the lively circle of people around him, his brows furrowed, and he said to the two guards in leather armor who followed him, "Take it back to the yamen." ”
With that, he walked straight to the end of the street, where stood a dilapidated official office.
Seeing that Yun Chu was in a nightmare, the two guards couldn't extricate themselves, one of them took Yun Chu's arm and led him forward, and the other guard led the red horse to follow.
The merchants on both sides watched Yun Chu leave with their feet crossed, and to be honest, they also wanted to know why this good-looking baby appeared here alone.
The houses in Qiuzi are all rammed earth houses, with a high back and a low front, which is convenient for rainwater collection.
The official office of the Tang people is naturally a rammed earth house, and after entering, I found that this kind of narrow house is actually beneficial, that is, it is cooler under the scorching sun.
If the summer is cool, then the winter must be warm. However, there is only such a benefit, and there are no other auxiliary functions other than the living function.
When he entered the house, the fat man immediately took off his official uniform, revealing the short coat underneath, wearing a pair of big crotch pants underneath, and sat on a wool felt with his legs spread out and lazily opposite Yun Chudao, who was kneeling on the wool felt.
"Which one are you, a rogue, a thief, a thief, a thief, a thief, a trader, or a tycoon?"
Yun Chu shook his head, still at a loss.
"Officials, military households, craftsmen, poor families, officials, nobles, royal relatives?"
Seeing that Yun Chu didn't react much, the fat man took a sip of cold water and asked tentatively.
Yun Chu pointed to his head and said, "There are injuries here, I can't remember." ”
The fat man waved his hand, and the two attendants immediately carried all of Yun Chu's luggage into the room and took out all the things inside.
There are many kinds of things in Yunchu's backpack and horse bag, among them, the most interesting thing for the fat man is the bag of herbs and a small bag, a small bag of stone powder.
He knew the snow lotus, licorice, astragalus, and ore powder among the medicinal materials, and he knew the small shengdan, and the realgar powder, and the rest of the powders that were blue, rose, or black.
However, this does not prevent Founder from classifying these things into the category of medicinal materials.
Yun Chu saw that the entourage also took out two belly pockets embroidered with the five poison patterns from the backpack, so he took them with a red face and stuffed them into the backpack again.
The fat man Fang Zheng and the others immediately burst out laughing.
The brush in Yun Chu's backpack was very bald, there was no dry ink on the small stone inkstone, and a piece of paper that had been folded out of traces was packed in a small cowhide tube, and when I opened it, I copied a passage of Confucius's words.
Zi said: "Learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say?" Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen? ”
Zeng Zi said: "My day and three provinces of my body: seeking for others and not being loyal? Making friends and not believing them? Are you used to it? ”
Zi said: "Reviewing the old and learning the new can be a teacher." ”
Zi said: "If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die." ”
Zi said: "From, the girl knows! Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing. ”
Fang Zheng read this proverb text that was obviously the elders' advice to the younger ones, and finally pointed to the signature on the gift and asked, "Who is Mr. Shi Sheng?" ”
Yun Chu's face showed pain, and after a while, he still shook his head.
In the case that he has no way to prove that he is a Tang person, today, he is ready to give full play to the spirit of finding the government when he is in difficulty, and let the government use the known conditions at hand to prove that he is a pure Tang man who can no longer be pure.
