Chapter 100: Voluntary is very different from coercion
There are people in Jinchangfang who exchange money for lanterns.
After Yun Chu arranged the matter, he didn't care, and he wouldn't pierce the lantern, even if he made an idea, it was an unreliable idea.
Such a huge Kong Ming lantern is an unprecedented challenge for Zhang He's family, their family has been doing this work for three generations, and it is the first time they have encountered such a large Kong Ming lantern.
Zhang He looked at the money piled on the table, and wanted to push off this job several times, but seeing the glowing eyes of his family looking at the pile of copper coins, he still decided to give it a try.
For the next four days, the whole family stopped thinking about sleeping.
One lamp, thirty dollars!
When Yun Chu returned home, the Cui family also came back from outside the city, and the news brought back was not good, and he was responsible for managing the tenants of nearly two hundred acres of land, and the people were unwilling to serve small families like the Yun family.
"The words of those families can make people angry to death, and one by one they put themselves in the position of loyal servants, and the meaning of the words is that they will starve to death and not come to our house.
No matter how good the conditions are, it is useless, even if the concubine says that she is going to buy two ploughing oxen for them to call, it will not change their hearts.
I really don't understand, a few tenants are just a few tenants, hungry and thin, and their clothes are patched and patched, and they are called by Liang Hou's family as livestock, and they also call out their love.
The concubine had just arrived, and those people left Zhuangzi with their wives and children on their backs.
Lang Jun, do you want to recruit some more tenants? ”
Yun Chu smiled bitterly, "The question is where do you recruit tenants from?" ”
Cui Shi smiled: "Jinchangfang." ”
"These people are used to living in the city, I'm afraid no one wants to be a farmer, right?"
Cui Shi chuckled and said, "As long as Lang Jun agrees, the concubine will go to Fang Zheng to ask for an idea, in this city, not necessarily all people live in the city." ”
Yun Chu saw that Cui Shi was full of confidence, so he nodded, and continued to carve his own chess with a small knife, he wanted to teach this little girl to play chess when Naha returned.
Xiangqi is also available in the Tang Dynasty, called Xiangxi, but it is a primary version of Xiangqi, without horses, cannons, and soldiers, and the rules are very simple, almost like a wolf eating a doll, and there is no fun at all.
Yun Chu suddenly surpassed a younger prime minister of the Tang Dynasty called Niu Shengyu, and directly took out the ultimate version of chess.
A different celebrity should have one or two means to make others out of reach, although Naha's child is now about to become a top-level Buddha Yuan, Yun Chu doesn't mind letting this child's level be higher.
Cui's work efficiency was very high, and when he went out in the evening, he came back when it was dark, and when he came back, he brought back sixteen gardeners.
"Lang Jun, it's not cost-effective to grow grain in our family's grain field, and it's not cost-effective to plant fruit trees, so the concubine is going to use it all to plant flowers."
"Planting flowers?" Hearing Cui Shi say this, Yun Chu was a little surprised, had the poor Tang Dynasty people begun to evolve to the point of appreciating fresh-cut flowers and trees?
"The concubine has asked someone, in April of the next year, the price of peony and peony is not low."
Yun Chu nodded and said: "There is no problem with the peony, it is no problem to plant it and bloom in the year, but the peony is not planted in the year, and it will be harvested in the year."
Moreover, what about 200 acres of land, you want to plant flowers and trees, have you asked people in Wannian County, do you know that the law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that first-class fields shall not be abused, I heard that there are problems with growing vegetables, do you still want to plant flowers? ”
"Oh, Lang Jun, there are naturally rules for planting flowers, you and Naha's Yongye Field, Kou Divide Field, and the family's official field, all grow food, the whole family has these two hundred acres of private land, even if all of them are used to plant flowers."
Yun Chu scratched his head and said, "My Yongye Field, Koufen Field, Guantian, I don't know where it is." ”
Cui Shi pouted: "In Fengxiang, I heard that it is in the mountains." “
Yun Chu nodded, he was familiar with Fengxiang's place, if his official fields, Yongye fields, and Koufen fields were all on the mountain, then, it must be on his mother's Taibai Mountain, no wonder there had been poor harvests year after year, in that era that belonged to him, if there was no tourism, the people in Taibai Mountain might not be able to eat so far.
Where the temperature does not exceed 20 degrees Celsius in a summer, what kind of agriculture can there be?
Liang Jianfang followed Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, at the age of twelve, and later followed Emperor Taizong, and made contributions early, so his family's fields were near Chang'an.
Unlike Yun Chu, who jumped out of the cracks in the stones, in order to get him some insurance, Fang Zheng deliberately got his way to Taibai Mountain, a place where the village was slaughtered by wild beasts all the year round, so his Yongye Field, Kou Fen Field, and Guantian were naturally all in Taibai Mountain.
After feeling sad for himself for a while, Yun Chu said: "Since the imperial court has this rule, you can plant flowers and trees in our field, but you must make it clear to the county government, register in the register, and the rules cannot be broken." ”
"The concubine understands." Hearing that the head of the family had once again put the power in his hands, Cui took a group of florists away with some pride.
Yun Chu looked at the departing Cui clan and shook his head, no way, this woman from the Cui clan in Qinghe is really powerful.
Yun Chu knew that the reason why Cui's wanted to plant flowers and trees in the field was because of the large-scale flower and tree planting project that would be carried out immediately after the spring of Jinchangfang.
It's too late to plant any flowers this year, but after having this farm specializing in planting flowers and trees, she dares to buy flowers and trees from other places and sell them to Jinchangfang and Daci'en Temple to earn a lot of difference.
The Tang people used to like orchids, and the beautiful wild orchids in the Qinling Mountains and Zhongnan Mountains were almost dug up.
In recent years, because Taejong and Queen Silla Seondeok liked to use peony eyebrows to convey affection, the Tang people suddenly fell in love with peonies, flowers like peonies with more flowers than leaves.
Since Emperor Taejong and Queen Seondeok of Silla used peony eyebrows to flirt, Queen Seondeok didn't know what to think, because the peony map given to her by Emperor Taejong did not draw bees and butterflies, so she came to the conclusion that peonies have no fragrance.
Then, Queen Seondeok thought that Emperor Taizong sent this unscented peony picture, which means - you are my woman, and you must not attract bees and butterflies!
Then, Queen Seondeok really did not marry, and firmly held the power of Silla, once she was threatened by the ministers, or was bullied by Goguryeo, she immediately sent it with a needle and thread embroidered a few words on a handkerchief, and by the way, she shouted - husband, help!
Then, Emperor Taizong would be furious, and instead of issuing an edict to reprimand Goguryeo, he told them to abide by their duties. It is to send a strong general to act as an envoy, and take thousands of Tang Dynasty soldiers to Silla by boat to support Queen Seondeok......
Since the death of Emperor Taizong, Queen Shande began to embroider handkerchiefs for Li Zhi, and it seems that Queen Shande has decided that she is the life of the woman of the Tang Emperor in her life.
Therefore, peonies sell very well in Chang'an and Luoyang, as long as the peony is in full bloom, anyone who has a little spare money at home will buy peonies and want to get a little extravagant.
Thinking of this, Yun Chu was once again glad that he had used so little money to get such a good housekeeper for the family.
Yun Chu carved the chess pieces and was about to color the chess pieces when the old monkey came, Yun Chu looked at the cold bright moon in the sky and asked, "How did you come to my house?" ”
"Over the wall."
Seeing that the old monkey answered so confidently, Yun Chu found himself speechless.
"Why didn't you bring Naha?"
"Naha is fasting and bathing, and she can't get out."
Thinking that Naha, who has no meat and no joy, is suffering now, Yun Chu couldn't help but say, "Can you ask Cui's to bring food to Naha tomorrow?" ”
The old monkey thought for a moment and shook his head and said: "That child has been pestering me for chicken legs, beef, mutton these days, and has used some tricks and violence, but I still haven't promised her, and now, she finally resigned herself to her fate, so don't hurt her Brahma anymore." ”
Yun Chu sighed slightly and said, "Have you won the battle with Daoyue's disciples and disciples?" ”
The old monkey shook his head and said, "The Zen temple was burned down, but I didn't find a large amount of silver left by Daoyue. ”
Yun Chu said in surprise: "You burned down other people's Zen courtyards for money?" ”
The old monkey said, "Not for money, but for the Buddha?" ”
Yun Chu leaned back and said strangely: "Isn't it a dispute over Taoism?" Not a sectarian dispute? ”
The old monkey shook his head and said: "The sign of the prosperity of Buddhism is the number of temples and the number of believers.
You don't really think that you can turn a huge temple into a group of devout believers just by taking a fortune from the people, right?
We didn't think about how much money we got from Daoyue's disciples and grandchildren, we just wanted the people to know how much money Daoyue had. ”
"Ruining Daoyue's reputation seems to be ruining your reputation as well, as far as I know, Xiangji Kitchen is really a good place to make money.
Do you still remember the footprints of the Buddha that Ding Da got back from the Western Regions? ”
The old monkey smiled proudly and said: "It has been placed in the Great Ci'en Temple, and this year's water and land conference on Shangyuan Day, it will appear together with the Buddha's bone relics, as far as this matter is concerned, Ding Dayou has done a really good job." ”
"Jinchangfang is going to get a huge and friendless Kong Ming lantern, which will be released on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, and this Kong Ming lantern will illuminate the entire Jinchangfang at that time, do you want to keep one for the water and land festival."
"How big is it, can it fly?"
"It's the size of a house, it's going to be able to fly."
The old monkey thought for a while and said, "How much money do you want to make on this?" ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "For Naha, I only charge the cost price, one hundred yuan." ”
The old monkey said a little sadly: "Do you and I have to calculate so clearly?" ”
Yun Chu said in a low voice: "I lost a stone in the Guozijian, which has almost become the biggest stain on my life. ”
"You've killed people a lot before."
"Everyone I killed before was what I wanted to kill, but that time, you forced me to do it."
