Chapter Seventy-Three: Relaxation

Cui Shi didn't understand where Yun Chu's confidence in saying this sentence came from, although his own Langjun occasionally came up with one or two wonderful sentences when he spoke on weekdays, but this was not very compatible with poetry and songs.

If you want to write good poems and songs, talent is indispensable to knowledge, and your own talent is estimated to be not lacking, but knowledge can only be obtained by relying on the accumulation of a long time on weekdays.

There are many people in the Cui family who are very good at writing poems, but they are not as arrogant as Yun Chu, and they see the creation of poems and songs so easily.

Naha was so tired that she lay on the ground, still holding her stick in her hand.

The old monkey took the baseball bat, played with it in his hand, and finally held the baseball bat and said to Yun Chu: "This thing is very handy, and it is heavy in front and light in the back. ”

Yun Chu said: "This thing is best made of wood, I was going to make an iron one before, but later I found that it was too heavy and difficult to control." ”

"That's right, wood has the benefits of wood, in Chang'an, most of the time you don't have to kill someone else, it's best to use this thing."

Cui Shi took Naha to bathe, and Yun Chu came to the atrium with the old monkey to drink tea and chat.

Somehow it came to Xuanzang.

Xuanzang has long lost his divinity in the mouths of the two of them, and what the old monkey cares about is whether Xuanzang has a leg with the lord of the East Female Country, and whether he peeks in Tianzhu when he passes by those beautiful women's bathing grounds......

Yun Chu was very interested in how many disciples Xuanzang had accepted on his way to the west, and the old monkey was the apprentice called Lei Gongmian, so did he have an apprentice who looked like a pig and looked like a monster.

"For a while, there was a black man like a carbon head in our entourage, but although it was ugly and fat, it didn't look like a pig, and as for those who looked like monsters, there were more people in the world who looked like monsters."

Yun Chu listened to the old monkey's words, and finally let go of his obsession, at least when Wu Chengen was writing "Journey to the West", the reason why that work has been circulated for many years is completely a personal brain.

Speaking kung fu, Jiu Fei, who was guarding the door, brought in a lot of baskets from the front and put them in front of Yun Chu.

When the cloth on the basket was opened, there were all sorts of things inside, most of which were food.

There are the most jujube cakes, there are also steamed cakes with white flowers, some are simply a basket of persimmons, and there are those with foot socks, Yingluo, and colored thread embroidery.

Yun Chu ordered to accept them all and return the basket to others, but there was no return gift, let them go back and wait for the news, the recruitment of Jinchangfang will be issued soon, and everyone has a chance.

The old monkey grabbed a handful of dried dates from a basket and ate them dry, without washing them, and rubbing them with his sleeve.

"You don't need to take these things from others, as far as I know, the first condition for being an official in Datang is to be honest and honest."

Yun Chu looked at the old monkey who was eating dates, and said lightly: "The premise of being an official is that you must first be able to become an official."

After all, no one will cherish what is easy to get, and only those things that have been obtained through a lot of hard work will be cherished.

Therefore, things must be received, first, to calm their hearts, and second, to let them learn to be grateful, such as grateful to me for receiving their gifts.

You know, the reason why I'm doing these things so hard is because I want them to be people who can be used by me. ”

The old monkey nodded and said: "No wonder Xuanzang once said that this world is a big arena, tigers and lions are invincible, poor for those elk, yellow sheep, hares, dead under the claws of lions and tigers, no one is pitied."

The original purpose of Buddhism was to dispel these violence so that everyone in the arena could live together in peace.

Yun Chu, you are the beast that is the best at catching prey in this arena. ”

Yun Chu laughed and said, "Can Buddhism make tigers, lions, leopards, wolves, and other beasts start eating grass for a living?" ”

The old monkey shook his head and said, "This is their way of survival, and it can't be changed." "Since they haven't changed their recipes, how can Buddhism solve the problem of tigers eating elk?"

"So, ah, the Buddha gave his own flesh to the tiger to eat, and took out his heart for the eagle to eat......"

"According to your reasoning, the role of monks in the world is to die for the weak, so why are you so angry when I get some money from the Great Ci'en Temple?"

The old monkey looked at Yun Chu and said, "I don't think what you said is right. ”

Yun Chu waved his hand and said: "You live in the world of Buddha, I have long jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements, and I am ready to do something real, if possible, I really plan to build Chang'an into the population of the Western Regions." ”

The old monkey felt that Yun Chu looked down on the Buddha very much, and Yun Chu felt that the old monkey had become stupid since he arrived in Chang'an, and somehow, the two began to beat each other with baseball bats.

The result of the mutual assault was that Yun Chu was hit with several sticks on his back and legs, grinning in pain, and the old monkey's stomach was smashed by Yun Chu with a stick, and he couldn't bear to bend down and scream if he wanted to maintain his appearance as a worldly master.

The next day, Yun Chu asked a few fat cooks in the family to find all kinds of beans from the West Market and mix them with Jiang rice, rice plus dates, raisins, and preserved peaches and apricots, and asked for a small handful of rice, or dried fruits, and beans from each family, mixed together and borrowed a hundred and ten cauldrons, and before dawn, they boiled porridge in an open space.

Because each family has produced ingredients, therefore, every family can come over to drink porridge, and Yun Chu is going to announce the list of the first batch of people who will work in Jinchangfang when he drinks porridge.

Eating together seems to be a very simple thing, but in the southwest mountainous area, it is the simple way of the dam feast that completely breaks down the barriers between people.

Especially in difficult times, every dam feast is a feast to promote the collective good.

Everyone gives a little, everyone eats a little, this is the most primitive and the most simple justice.

The first recruits did not provoke any backlash, and those who were recruited took it for granted, and those who were not recruited took it for granted.

Because the first batch of people recruited at the beginning of Yun Chu were all craftsmen, among them, masons, stonemasons, carpenters, well diggers and strong young men.

It is these people who will dig wells, dig roads, build nullahs and culverts in this winter that is not too cold, according to Yun Chu's arrangement, and pave all the roads in Jinchangfang with stone slabs or green bricks.

This is an extremely huge project, it is estimated that it will not be completed until at least the beginning of spring, but fortunately, there are not many others in Jinchangfang, and there are basically craftsmen in every household.

Yun Chu took out his own design drawings, and these craftsmen themselves could carry out the construction according to Yun Chu's requirements.

Yun Chu's whole family came out to drink porridge, including the little lady with blond hair and green eyes in their family, Naha's skin has quickly improved since she started to take a good bath, plus she was rubbed more by Cui's fiercely, her rough skin has faded, and she finally has a little white skin appearance of a white race.

It attracted the great curiosity of the residents, as a native of Chang'an, it is not that he has never seen an orchid, but he has never seen such a good-looking little orchid in Yunchu's family.

Liu Yi drank three bowls of thick eight-treasure porridge, but when he was still not satisfied and was about to drink the fourth bowl, he was stopped by Yun Chu and didn't let him drink so much porridge.

Yun Chu stopped after drinking a bowl by himself, and began to take Liu Yi to watch the villagers drink porridge in the alley.

Every time he walked up to a key person, Liu Yi would whisper an introduction.

"Liu Sancai?"

"Exactly down there."

"I heard that you are also a good hand in the future, this time you will dig a well for ourselves, I don't think you will fool us all, right?"

"Don't dare, this time to dig eleven wells, from the highest place in the south, according to the terrain slowly fall, and then the eleven wells according to the water surface connection, so that the water in the well gradually converges downward, and finally in the southwest corner of the Great Ci'en Temple to form a water, where the lotus pond of the Great Ci'en Temple is borrowed to store water, in the northeast corner of the lotus pond hanging animal head out of the water, the water enters the nullah, bypasses the sixteen alleys of Jinchangfang Third Street and finally enters the culvert, and is connected with the Chang'an Kenghe Canal."

After listening to what Liu Sancai said, Yun Chu nodded and said: "The cost you reported is one hundred and three yuan, and on the day of construction, I will give you fifty yuan, which will be used to purchase stones, bricks, and wood, and on the day of the eleven wells, I will give you thirty yuan, and when you take your people to complete the above projects, after passing the inspection, I will pay the balance, and there will be an extra reward of five yuan." ”

Liu Sancai looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Li Chang, it is not difficult for us to open eleven wells here, Chang'an is a place with abundant water veins, plus we are close to Kunming Pool, there is no shortage of water."

The problem is that we have opened eleven wells and nullahs, and the small ones are worried that this will make the cultivation and cultivation of the government and the three markets of Shengping higher than ours probably not be able to drill wells. ”

Yun Chu sneered and said: "The water flows into the lotus pond of the Great Ci'en Temple, what does it matter to us, besides, people have a canal in Kunming Pond, and no one uses well water." ”

Liu Sancai responded again and again, and when he saw Yun Chu leaving, he immediately lowered his head and drank the eight-treasure porridge, to be honest, such a thick porridge can't be drunk several times a year.

Although he was very afraid of Yun Chu now, he was extremely looking forward to the reward of this person's five guan money.

This is the effect that Yun Chu wants, you don't have to be too close, if you are too close, you will make some excessive demands in the future because of the intimacy of the relationship, if you agree, it will break the rules, if you don't agree, the friendship accumulated before will turn into a water, maybe this person will become the one who hates you the most.
