Chapter Seventy-Eight: Poor, Poor Tang Dynasty

Xuanzang is not a picky eater, when he traveled west in the past, he ate whatever he wanted, in his opinion, the reason why people need to eat is completely to live, and he doesn't care about the taste or anything.

Many times Xuanzang thinks that eating a hundred meals is also a kind of practice, just like the lights of thousands of homes in the night, which needs to be felt one by one.

Obviously, the lights of Yun Chu's house are different, thicker, bigger, and more fragrant, so he enjoyed a full pot.

"Is this child really not your own?"

When the old monkey saw that Xuanzang had finished eating, he rubbed to Xuanzang's side and asked in a low voice.

Xuanzang glanced at the old monkey and said: "Evil animals, the four major monks are empty, and all living beings are no different in the eyes of the poor monks." ”

The old monkey nodded and said, "Disciple understands." ”

Xuanzang sighed and said, "What do you understand?" What do you understand? What's the difference between what you understand and what you don't? ”

The old monkey sneered and said, "The Zen temple left by Daoyue will suffer from fire in the near future. ”

"Amitabha, never like this."

"What the master is asking for is a lamp on the peak of Lingshan, and what we are asking for is a place to live in the red dust."

After that, without waiting for Xuanzang to answer, he left the pavilion directly.

Peeki leaned against a pillar, and when the old monkey came, he smiled and said, "When I come back, I'll clean up and go to the prison to purify the sentient beings." ”

The old monkey raised his hand, patted Peeki on the shoulder and said, "Everything has me." ”

"Don't you ask me why I ended up in the prison of Dali Temple?" Voyeur didn't plan to let the old monkey go.

"I heard that the assassination of Concubine Xiao Shu was a group of monks, you have high martial arts, high status, and you are uninhibited on weekdays, at the time of the crime, you happened to be close to the left, and it is a matter of course that you were wronged by others."

Voyeur shook his head and said, "It's not for this, it's because I accidentally trampled someone to death while riding a horse." ”

"Who did you trample to death?"

"A butcher."

"Will you trample people to death with your riding skills?"

"Originally, I didn't, but I saw the corpse of a yellow dog on the butcher's shoulder, and for a moment I forgot that the butcher in front of me was still a person."

"A dead dog made you ignore people?"

"Yellow Dog is a friend of mine, he once brought his wife to my Monastery as a guest, at that time, his wife was already pregnant, I took out wine and meat to have a happy party with the couple, and then parted, I heard that he had no time to rest all day in order to support his family, and occasionally saw each other on the sidelines, but only glanced at each other and then separated.

Unexpectedly, when we said goodbye, we would already be separated forever. ”

"How long are you going to be in prison?"

"Half a year."

"Hey, can't you be punished with bronze?"

"I was fined, and the butcher's family was grateful, but the master thought that I had a bad heart and needed to go to the prison to introspect and teach the scriptures by the way."

"Oh, then, go ahead."

There are many temples in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and the whispers between the old monkey and the peep base can't spread far, so they drift away with the wind.

At this time, Yun Chu was inspecting the projects that were still in progress.

According to his view of the Tang people, that is-poor, poor!

Even if you live in Chang'an, you eat thick when you are busy, thin when you are free, and don't eat at all when you don't contribute.

Many of the children's faces were black before Yun Chu came, and since Yun Chu asked everyone to wash their faces, these children's faces began to turn blue, not because they were frozen, but because they were hungry by eating only one meal a day.

The hot water pool in Jinchangfang is washed and charged a copper coin at a time, which can be called cheap and good, but unfortunately, the people who patronize this bathhouse every day are only Yun Chu and Naha, the big fat little girl and Cui's.

Liu Yi, the head of the workshop, must bring his wife to wash once every three days, when he takes a bath, the pomp is very large, and he needs to bring the whole family to change the clothes to come in, he takes a bath, takes a bath, and his wife rubs her dirty clothes naked in the women's bathhouse on the other side, in short, the bath fee of two copper coins can not be wasted.

Recently, Liu Sancai also came to the bathhouse every once in a while, and every time he could meet Yun Chu and Liu Yi.

When he came in, he must have brought in some wine and food, and did everything possible to invite Yun Chu to drink with Liu Yi.

The reason why the children don't feel the cold in the cold winter is because as long as Yun Chu comes in to take a bath, they can also come in, and the chief has always liked to invite others to take a bath.

After entering the bathhouse, you can avoid the cold, and you can also earn one or two copper coins by rubbing the lichang, pouring water, stepping on the back, and drying clothes.

Yun Chu also likes to deal with children, the earliest food is generally only enough for one or two people to eat, later, he often brings a basket full of Hu cakes, or yellow buns, whether it is Hu cakes or yellow buns, are sandwiched with salt vegetables, when lucky, children can also find one or two pieces of cured mutton in Hu cakes, yellow buns.

It was great to find the cured mutton, so the seven or eight-year-old children squatted at the door of the bathhouse all day waiting for the captain to come.

This is the case with the men's bathhouse, and the same is true with the women's bathhouse, Naha has always been a generous little girl, plus there is never a shortage of money in her hands, and in some ways, Naha's worth is even greater than that of her brother.

Therefore, when Naha took a bath, it was simply the treatment of the stars holding the moon, and it was not only the big fat and Cui family who surrounded her, but also the little girls in Jinchangfang who had no boudoir to stay.

Yun Chu was in charge of checking the health of the little boys, and Cui Shi was in charge of checking the health of the little girls.

The Yun family must be a family of Zhong Ming Ding Food, and the Cui family insists that the foundation cannot be bad.

Xiao En Xiaohui is very useful for children, as long as they eat the delicious food of the Yun family a few more times, they will naturally yearn for the Yun family, which is called cohesion.

Anyway, after these boys and girls grow up, except for the eldest son, most of them are going to be slaves to rich and noble families, rather than being slaves to others, it is better to stay in Jinchangfang and be slaves to the kind-hearted lieutenants.

How well do they know about them?

- I've even seen the long balls!

This gave them enough confidence that they would not be abused when they entered the Yun family, unlike those big families who they knew nothing about and were overwhelmed.

Liu Yi casually slapped a black and strong child on the buttocks and said to Yun Chu: "The money given by the Great Ci'en Temple is only seventy yuan, and the sorghum given by the county government of Wannian County is less than three hundred quintals.

Our gate has not yet been built, and if in six days, the Great Mercy and Grace Temple suddenly does not give money, we will be in big trouble. ”

Yun Chu lifted his other leg and put it on the knee of the black and strong boy and let him continue to knead, this child has a lot of strength, and he is very powerful when kneading the muscles.

"You are a guy who is afraid of breaking his head when he passes under the fruit tree, next month, the money from the Great Mercy and Grace Temple will definitely be in place, and the food given by the government is too small, so you should continue to ask for it."

Liu Yi was taken aback, stood up from the pool with his bare buttocks, and said, "Last time, Sun Hucao had already done his best. ”

Yun Chu waved his hand and smiled: "Five hundred loads of wheat will do your best?" Liu Yi, you don't know anything about the government's all-out efforts.

Think about it, Wannian County, which occupies half of the capital, if it only supports 500 quintals of wheat if it does its best, then Wannian County is also worthy of being called Jing County?

If we dare to take these 500 loads of wheat, then they will be even happier if we ask him for 1,000 loads of wheat. ”

Liu Yi listened to what the chief said, and his mouth began to tremble, and Yun Chu's words reminded him of the scene where he was continuously slapped by Sun Hucao.

"Don't be afraid, I wrote an official document, you take the official document and go to Sun Hucao, don't say a word of extra words, just say that this is what I mean.

If Sun Hucao really wants you to speak, you can say that Jinchangfang is going to set up a stone tablet at the entrance of the fang, on which the names of donors and yamen will be engraved on it, and the surplus 1,000 quintals of grain will be used for this.

If the county government refuses to give it, we have to donate copper money to build it ourselves. "Ahh Liu Yi howled again.

"What is it called, even if it is a donation, it is also Lao Tzu's money, so such a good opportunity will not be left to you fools who have no name."

"Benefits? Where do the benefits come from? As soon as Liu Yi heard that he didn't need to pay for it himself, his mood immediately improved.

Yun Chu sighed secretly in his heart, thinking of his former subordinates with a seven-trick exquisite heart, and once again thought that the Tang people really did not have the quality of being an official.

The Great Ci'en Temple was built by the emperor to commemorate his biological mother, the status is almost the same as his mother's tomb, the emperor wants to enter the Great Ci'en Temple, the first thing to enter is the main gate of the east of Jinchang Fang, the former dilapidated Fang Gate suddenly became a magnificent gate of splendor...... What if the emperor asks?

Even if the emperor didn't see it once or twice, what about after ten or eight times? As long as the emperor saw it once and asked about it once, everyone who financed the construction of the gate would immediately receive ten times or a hundred times the benefits.

Yun Chu didn't believe that Lu Xianling, who was born in the Lu clan, couldn't see this!

The black and black child did a really good job, after Yun Chu rinsed his body with water, he was relaxed, and even the hard skin of the soles of his feet was rubbed clean by the child with a pumice stone.

"In the future, you will stay in the men's bathhouse to work, two catties of sorghum rice a day, and ten yuan at the end of the month.

Count it out today! ”

After the child helped him put on his socks and boots, Yun Chu announced the reward he had already thought of to the child.

Seeing that the child was trembling with excitement, he slapped him on the head and said, "Do a good job, don't be lazy!" ”

When Yun Chu walked out of the bathhouse refreshed, he happened to see Liu Sancai's head full of muddy water coming out of the well, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Yun Chu, and couldn't help but shout loudly: "Li Chang, the water is out!" ”
