Chapter 118 The people's hearts are like iron, and the official law is like a furnace
"General!"
"Haha, I can fly."
"General again!"
"You can't do anything if I put the taxi up, right? Naha, you moved your car, and you haven't left the nest yet. ”
"I don't care, I'll use artillery to knock out the soldiers."
"See, if you replace my taxi with a cannon, you won't have a cannon to use."
Old Monkey now has a new game, which is to play chess with Naha, and he can win every time.
In fact, Yun Chu felt that as long as anyone who knew the rules of chess could play Naha, as long as he played a few more games of chess with Naha, he would be bored, only the old monkey was different.
This old guy is playing chess with Naha with the perseverance of a heavenly man, and he never gets tired of it.
Yun Chu knew that the reason why Naha was so obsessed with chess was entirely because as long as she was willing to play chess, she could write a lot less big characters, so she would rather play chess to kill time than go into the study to practice calligraphy.
Even if she loses chess and wants to be pinched by the opponent's nose, she does not hesitate to choose to play chess.
As soon as the bell began to ring in the canteen not far from the Yun family, Naha would immediately give up playing chess and rush towards the canteen.
It's just that the amount of food this child eats is really scary, it is common to eat ten whole wheat steamed buns in one meal, and the most terrifying thing is that eating ten steamed buns does not count, this child can still eat a full pot of noodles and a large pot of vegetables.
Because she had eaten too much, in order to reduce the guilt of her family, the child never asked for the money Yun Chu gave her.
That's right, the dining hall outside is the Yun family's big kitchen, under normal circumstances, the family will go to the big kitchen to eat, but, except for Yun Chu and Naha, the servants in the family can only wait for the scholars to finish eating.
Datang's mutton, chicken, and goose meat are very expensive, but pork and duck meat are very cheap, especially duck meat, the value of this thing is not even comparable to eggs, as for duck eggs, because ducks eat meat, the price of eggs is as cheap as dirt.
The chef of the Yun family has to fry seven or eight pots of duck meat every day, three or four pots of roasted pork with sauce, what pig heart, and pork liver are warmly welcomed by the scholars after being marinated.
Even eating pig intestines is still a big problem, the reason why the scholars can accept pork is because the Yun family's cook made this thing so delicious that they temporarily forgot about the pickled pig, and as for the pig intestines that contain the reincarnation of grains, they are still not sensitive.
Cui Shi had no materials to waste, and after learning about the practice of pig intestines from Yun Chu's mouth, she took it upon herself to add some fatty meat to the pig intestines to improve the quality of the pig intestines, and then, a coolie delicacy called gourd head appeared.
The low-level ones only add a little worthless intestines to a bowl of soup, and charge five yuan from two yellow buns.
The high-end one gives a bowl of soup with intestines and a piece of fatty meat, plus two slices of fried tofu cut into oblique slices, and finally gives a Hu cake, and you will be charged ten yuan, and the soup will be counted separately.
As long as they get a pot of soup, some intestines, some fried tofu, some fatty meat, and prepare a little onion and garlic for themselves, they can pick a pick with a small stove and find a place with a lot of coolies to do business.
Whenever someone asks if this gourd head can be eaten, the old woman who sells the gourd head will decisively raise the name of Sun Shenxian.
Sun Shenxian never sells fakes, let alone treats the people badly, as long as it is something that passes through the hands of Sun Shenxian, even poison can be eaten, which is definitely common sense in Datang.
The fat intestine is full of fat, a bite of oil and water will be messy, fat meat is only seen pig skin, not red meat, this thing itself is boiled by the pork bone broth to rot, even if it is a toothless old man, the old woman can also use a toothless mouth to sip it down a little bit.
This led to Yun Chu when he was visiting Chang'an, and from time to time he could hear a woman shouting - "Sell gourd heads, alas, gourd heads with plenty of oil and water", whenever he heard this kind of shouting, Yun Chu's heart was very warm.
Such a Chang'an, it is finally a bit of Chang'an.
Yun Chu didn't eat gourd heads, not that he didn't eat this thing, but was waiting for Cui's family to order from a farmer's house, only eat grass and fodder, and castrated pigs were slaughtered.
The Tang people have a much stronger grasp of castration technology than later generations, mainly because they not only castrate sheep, but also castrate people.
There are many such old tricks in the palace of the court, it is said that there are as many as twenty famous masters who are called a knife and never leave a trouble, castration pigs are small for people, if Yun Chu needs, it is not difficult to castrate the elephants raised in the Qujiang pond and the tribute of Fanbang.
Yun Chu also heard that there were still castrated chickens among those craftsmen, and he didn't know what the operation method was, so he was going to wait for time to observe it.
The scholars came, the most troublesome thing was not the Yun family's kitchen, but the bathhouse, Erniu often cried because he couldn't serve so many scholars, and he couldn't rub a large piece of white flesh and couldn't make money, which was the pain of this child's life.
Especially now that one bath can charge five cents, Er Niu had to suggest to Liu Yi to add two more baths.
Not a single idler in Jinchangfang can be found...... Even the toothless old woman sat under the eaves, taking care of the children in the cradle, and at the same time rubbing the wool thread, because Jinchangfang began to weave blankets, which required a lot of wool thread.
Chang'an in February is still very cold, even if the willows by the river have begun to spit out new shoots, if you don't pay attention, it is still common for your face to be blown by the cold wind and bleed.
If you want to feel like "blowing the willow wind", at least wait until all the willow leaves have grown.
The past winter was safe for the people of Chang'an, but the money was not very valuable.
However, this is nothing, just eat one less meal a day, and the days can go on.
Every day, when the city gate is opened, there are still a large number of people entering Chang'an City with all kinds of hopes, and at the same time, there are also groups of people with withered faces who leave Chang'an City.
An elder in the Huren Temple in Liquanfang, in front of the people of Liquanfang, cut his throat with a knife, and heard that the blood in his throat flew out more than a foot away, staining the stone steps blood-red, and giving the old woman who died in the scripture hall to pay for her life.
Yun Chu went a little late, and didn't see the bloody scene, only saw a group of Persian monks crying mournfully around an old bearded man dressed in white, and Di Renjie also specially put a stick of incense on the dead Persian beard.
Although the smoke of the incense in the Huren Temple was very inconsistent with the religious atmosphere there, Di Renjie still persistently used a stick of incense to express his sorrows.
Those Hu people are not a good thing, after Di Renjie finished his condolences, he asked a few Persian strong men to carry two large boxes full of three hundred pounds of money boxes and put them in front of Di Renjie, not only that, but also took the initiative to open the box and poured out all the five hundred copper coins inside, so the money almost drowned Di Renjie's legs.
As a result, the originally black eyes of those residents suddenly turned green, and some even turned red.
Yun Chu believed that at this time, as long as one person shouted "Grab money", those people in Liquanfang would drown Di Renjie in an instant.
Di Renjie didn't seem to be panicking, just clapped his hands, and more than a dozen monks with big shoulders and round waists and sticks came over from outside.
These monks from Liquan Temple put the copper coins back in the box, and without saying a word, carried them into Liquan Temple.
It was only at this time that Di Renjie said with a smile: "Money, you have seen it, if you want money, you have to work to exchange it, listen to what I said, I don't have to say, I will have inexhaustible money in the future."
If you don't listen to me, a person who doesn't listen to me, just get out of my way as far as I want, starve you to death, and I, the chief, won't take a look.
Now, those who are willing to listen to Lao Tzu's words, stand on the left for me, and those who are not willing to listen to Lao Tzu's words will get out immediately! ”
Di Renjie, who has been eating pork so much recently, looks like a pig when he is angry, and he really looks like a pig.
The appearance of staring and baring teeth is very powerful, and it also makes the person whose eyes are red after seeing the money slowly sober up.
I also thought of the lieutenant in front of me, not a person like them, but the pride of Datang - too student.
I heard that people come out of Taixue, even if they don't get into the Jinshi, they can get a foreign official, and the worst one is the scribe in the yamen.
What's more, at this moment, just behind Di Renjie, there were fifteen or sixteen Tai students, and it could be seen that each of these Tai students was holding a stick in their hands, eager to find someone to come out and beat them.
The basic requirement of the Tai students of the Tang Dynasty is that all the six arts of the gentleman are proficient, even among the civil officials of the Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult to find a few martial arts masters, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, who can fight against Cheng Yanjin and does not fall behind.
The people who were interested in the matter had slowly walked to Di Renjie's left hand, and there were a few hesitants in the middle, and before they could react, a group of Tai students, under the leadership of Di Renjie, had already rushed forward with sticks.
They were very heavy, and there was even a look of madness on their faces, and after a moment's effort, a few hesitant people could only beg for mercy in mourning, even so, Di Renjie didn't seem to let them go, until he beat these people into blood gourds, and then stopped.
Qian Hu Cao of Chang'an County was watching coldly from the side, and dozens of bad people with big shoulders and round waists also held their hands and watched coldly.
When Di Renjie allowed the families of these people to carry the injured people to the hospital, Qian Hucao came over and took Di Renjie's hand and said, "Just let it go." ”
Yun Chu has always felt that what he did in Jinchangfang was a little unreasonable and arrogant, but now after seeing the methods of Di Renjie, a famous native of the Tang Dynasty, he knows what the real "people's hearts are like iron, and the official law is like a furnace!" ”
He believes that Di Renjie will definitely make Liquanfang a big change, and he even believes that Di Renjie will definitely make Liquanfang a star in Chang'an One Hundred and Eight Fang City after Jinchangfang.
I believe that all of Di Renjie's practices will eventually benefit all the people of Liquanfang.
It's just that the approach is too rude, too disrespectful, and too arbitrary.
It's uncomfortable to read, I'm not comfortable with what I wrote, I flipped through the history books and found more than a dozen famous masters of governing the people, even if the famous ministers who love the people like sons go to the place, they also kill people first, and then govern, the reason why there will be a prosperous scene where the road is not left behind, and the night is not closed, is because the price of the collection is too heavy. Strong orders, strong orders, even the emperor's relatives dare to kill, let alone ordinary people.
