From the beginning of planning, to formal implementation, to the start of construction, a thing has to go through a lot of joints in the middle.

Therefore, when it was Layuetian, Yun Chu and Liu Renliang kept appearing in various yamen in the imperial city.

Ask the Shaofu Supervisor for weavers, ask Sinong Temple for a doctor of agriculture, ask the general for a blacksmith, carpenter, and mason, ask Taifu Temple for cattle and horses, ask for a car, ask the Metropolitan Water Supervisor if he can open a river mouth to build a waterwheel, and finally, look for the household department for a large amount of start-up capital.

Under normal circumstances, they will be extremely enthusiastic about handing over things to these departments, and they will put them back when they ask for something, even if it is a piece of shit.

In particular, asking the household department for money is almost the same as asking for their lives.

After being rejected once, he found a bench and sat at the door of Cui Xiu's official office, as long as he found that there was no water in Cui Xiu's tea bowl, he would take the initiative to fill it, and when he saw that the ground was dirty, he would personally clean it with a broom.

One day, two days, everyone watched it as a joke, and on the fourth day, Liu Renliang impeached Cui Xiu's corpse at the court meeting and did not do anything.

Cui Xiu defended a few words, and Liu Renliang took out a notebook, detailing everything Cui Xiu has done in the past three days, and even wrote down the time of Gong in the notebook.

He also said that Cui Xiu's effective office hours were less than half an hour a day, and he hoped that the emperor could severely punish this guy who wasted state funds in vain.

This matter can naturally be big or small, after becoming a big official, who doesn't rely on fishing all day long to survive?

Small things can't be sent to the table of the four-grade official Zuo Shilang of the household department at all, and the big things are ...... To be honest, if there are big things in the household every day, it can only mean that the Tang Dynasty is coming to an end.

With Liu Renliang in front of him, Yun Chu was relaxed and happy when he was doing things, and Shaoqing of Taifu Temple only hummed a few words, which meant that there were not enough cattle and horses in the imperial court, and there were not enough cars, so there was no extra cotton textile workshop for Yun Chu and them to run.

Then, Yun Chu found a bench and sat at the door of Shaoqing's public office in Taifu Temple, staring at this Shaoqing with blazing eyes, holding a pen and a notebook in his hand, writing and drawing on it.

Shaoqing of Taifu Temple is not as good as the left servant of the household department, he is an official of the fourth grade, and he is an official from the fourth grade.

The left waiter of the household department can spray with Liu Renliang in the main hall, he is not a second-in-command of the vital department, and he really can't withstand Yun Chu's toss like this.

So, before the Spring Festival was approaching and the yamen was about to lock the hall and stop working, Yun Chu and Liu Renliang finally got all the things they wanted.

It's not interesting to drink tea in winter, so Yun Chu and Liu Renliang stayed in the public office of the county order of Chang'an County, and boiled pots of tea on a small red clay stove to drink, Liu Renliang didn't know what pots of tea were.

Yun Chu knew that this thing was the best thing to cheer up when two or three people were gossiping.

There must not be more than four people, and once the number of people exceeds four, the canned tea will lose its original charm.

The stove is a boxy small red clay stove with only a fist-sized fire eye, and inside it is a dry pine tower.

It's just right to put two pine towers in at a time, the bottom one is responsible for burning, and the top one is responsible for making incense.

Yun Chu placed a thick piece of cast iron on the eye of the fire, and soon the piece of cast iron became hot.

Drinking canned tea is a very ceremonial act, and this ritual is also part of canned tea.

The tea jar is a fist-sized black clay pot, after sitting on the iron sheet, Yun Chu always puts the tea leaves into the jar first, bakes it on the fire, and then pours cold water into it with a sting, and waits for the water to boil, he also takes out two dates, puts the dates on the iron sheet and roasts them slowly, seeing that the skin is scorched, he throws two burnt dates into the jar with a bamboo tong to boil, and three dried longans that are pinched open are thrown in together.

After the water boils and bubbles, do not rush to drink the tea, but pour out the first tea, add new water and continue to boil.

At this time, the puff pastry brought from home had been slightly yellowed by the charcoal fire in the brazier.

The tea also began to bubble, so I used a bamboo spoon to add a spoonful of frosting to the small clay cup, and then slowly poured the bubbling tea into the teacup.

Every time he poured tea into the teacup, there was definitely only one sip, which could melt the icing, and Yun Chu pushed one of the cups in front of Liu Renliang.

Although he hadn't drunk it before, Liu Renliang still inhaled the cold air and drank it in one gulp, and at the same time, Yun Chu also drank the tea in the cup......

It was the first time for Liu Renliang to drink such a strange tea, but the burnt aroma of the tea mixed with the strong sweetness still made him feel that this thing was very good, not to mention, as long as he tasted it a little, the burnt aroma of the dates and the sweet taste of the dried longan would also return, which made people feel refreshed.

Add cold water and continue to boil, waiting for the water to boil, he will usually take a bite of the browned puff pastry, when the bun swallows, the tea is just bubbling, and the cycle repeats......

"It's just drinking tea, Yunxian Cheng is so elegant, but this meal of tea is probably not something that ordinary households can enjoy."

Liu Renliang pointed to the puff pastry bun sandwiched with flax salt, and sighed with emotion.

Yun Chu felt a little sick to his stomach, and felt that there were bugs in the tea he drank just now.

In his world, no one has ever said that canned tea is an elegant drink, on the contrary, it is a very popular thing for the Northwest farmers to relieve their fatigue before they are busy and after their work, and here, it has become an elegant thing?

"It's not unattainable, it's just some tea, some frosting, two dates, a few dried longans, and although this puff pastry bun is rare, it's also good to replace it with Hu cakes."

Liu Renliang took a bite of the puff pastry and said: "I'm not accusing the county of being too extravagant, just saying that the etiquette of this tea meal has already separated the county from the ordinary people." ”

Yun Chu poured another cup of tea for Liu Renliang and said, "Etiquette can be learned, and it doesn't cost anything."

It is only right for a man to live his life in a refined way.

Last year, when I went to the countryside to check on the lives of the people, I found that some children were eating with their hands, and I asked why they were eating with dirty hands, and they told me that because the family was poor, there were no chopsticks.

I looked at it at the time, and there was a bamboo forest in front of his house, but if he wanted to, he could make a good pair of chopsticks out of bamboo.

Oh, and the chopsticks I use now at home are also made of bamboo.

Their house was filthy and could not be entered, and in front of his house there was a large ditch in which water was kept all year round.

Their hair was flakes of felt, and their clothes were so tattered that they didn't know how to wash them.

A certain family asked him to work in a brick kiln, as long as he was willing to work, it would not be a problem to feed their family of five.

However, he said that his family was poor, and once he left, the old lady in the family had no one to take care of, and he hoped that the official could give him a way to live......"

Liu Renliang said indifferently: "How did the county deal with it?" ”

Yun Chu sneered, drank the tea in the cup in one go, paused the teacup on the low table and said: "The head of the family has hit twenty boards, the housewife has hit ten boards, and the five children in the family have been whipped five times for those over five years old."

The mother, who was in her forties and called herself an old woman, was also reprimanded by the official on the spot, and ordered to clean and clean up the house within two days, otherwise she would be severely punished. ”

Liu Renliang clicked his lips and said, "If this fight continues, they may really starve to death." ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Hunger can't die." ”

Liu Renliang looked at Yun Chu and smiled, waiting for him to answer.

"In the name of a brick kiln, a certain family lent his family 100 catties of grain, 2 catties of salt, 20 chicks, 30 ducklings, and a piglet."

Liu Renliang frowned and said: "This is not a good way, the reason why that family is so difficult is probably not just lazy, right?" ”

Yun Chu laughed and said: "I don't have time to understand how their family has fallen to such a point, I just need to let their family know that now, their whole family owes a lot of things to the brick kiln, and if they want to survive, the man must go to work in the brick kiln immediately, and the woman must raise poultry and livestock from now on."

If their family refuses to grasp this last chance, there is no need for such people to live.

Killing alive is a great relief for everyone. ”

"There doesn't seem to be a law of laziness in the law of the Tang Dynasty."

Yun Chu glanced at Liu Ren's track: "It seems that the people killed by the county lord in Lantian County are not small. ”

Liu Renliang pointed at Yun Chu and said, "That's a bandit, it's not the same day." ”

Yun Chu said while biting the puff pastry: "Their family is also a bandit, and with their appearance, I have no way to continue to implement the plan of raising poultry and livestock in the countryside, because I have to give some subsidies to the people."

If the subsidy is given to this lazy family, they will never work hard in the future, and they will make more lazy people.

After all, who wants to work standing up when they can eat lying down? ”

Liu Renliang didn't care much about Yun Chu's killing of a family, the county order guarded the herd, and the local people were cattle and sheep under the rule of officials, and killing a few black sheep was not a big deal for the county order.

What he is interested in now is why the yamen of Wannian County can have so much surplus to subsidize the township farmers in Wannian County.

You have to say what kind of things you want to say to whomever you want, and it's best to be with someone like Liu Renliang.

This is gently taught to Yun Chu, he believes that Liu Renliang is a person who has no lack of wisdom, knowledge, courage, and ability, and it is best not to make himself cloudy, which is not conducive to quickly approaching Liu Renliang, and it is not convenient to get along in the future.

Especially when the military has already become dissatisfied with Yun Chu, it must find another reliable ally as soon as possible.

And Liu Renliang is just a fifth-grade official, but this fifth-grade official is a reef with only one corner exposed on the water, if you dare to underestimate him because of this, you will definitely be hit to pieces by the part of the reef hidden underwater.
