Chapter Ninety-Seven: I Will Not Waste My Life
Yun Chu has been waiting for Li Keshi's counterattack.
Unfortunately, he waited for ten days, but he still didn't wait for the counterattack he expected.
In the past ten days, even though Li Keshi's family had moved into the pavilion, the attacks against him had not stopped.
In the early hours of the morning, the housekeeper of his house had just gone out when he was killed by a feathered arrow through his throat.
I don't know why, Li Keshi was unlucky, but Jinchangfang ushered in the biggest living tide since the opening of Jinchangfang.
Moreover, everyone who enters the gate must bow down to the giant phoenix reverently.
The entry fee of Jinchangfang is also increasing rapidly.
The bungalows were overcrowded, and the hostels for merchants from all walks of life were also overcrowded, and even the ashram for female pilgrims was rented out, and there were many more who intended to live in the temple.
Yun Chu felt that this might be Wu Mei in Liwei, paving the way for her to ascend to the throne of the queen.
It's easy to be a queen, but it's very difficult to be a queen that everyone is afraid of.
Yun Chu also discovered from this time that the military generals were not united at all.
When they drank and ate together, the appearance of Yi Bo Yuntian was all gone at this moment, because most of the people who lived in Jinchangfang were important sons and nephews of these generals.
For this reason, Yun Chu had to arrange a large number of bad people in Jinchangfang to guard the safety of these guests who had paid.
Li Shen also wanted to live in Jinchangfang, but was rejected by Yun Chu, and Li Shen, who was rejected, was not angry, just shrugged his shoulders casually, it seemed that he knew very well that he was not on the hunting list, and the reason why he wanted to come in was to join in the fun.
Li Shen likes the fat child born by Wu Mei and Li Zhi very, very much, as long as he comes to Jinchangfang, he will definitely hug him for a while, it is estimated that he has never even had his own child so rare.
"This boy is blessed at first sight." Li Shen carefully touched the child's eyebrows and said to Yun Chu.
Yun Chu said angrily: "The prince can say this in front of His Majesty next time." ”
Li Shen stretched his neck and looked at Yun Chu and said, "You will tell Wu Mei about this kind of thing, won't you?" ”
Yun Chu sighed, took the child over and hugged him in his arms, and said, "It's not easy to live, so if you can help, you naturally have to help." ”
Li Shen nodded and said to Yun Chu: "I appreciate your generosity most of all. ”
As he spoke, he took out a small mutton fat white jade pendant from his arms, hung it on the fat child's neck, and said gently: "I heard that girls wearing this thing can make their skin as white as jade." ”
Yun Chu sneered and said: "Whose woman is as white as my family, that child is now afraid that he will become too white, and he runs under the sun all day long, and he is more comfortable than the daughters of the family in Chang'an." ”
Li Shen just smiled and didn't answer, don't look at Li Shen's lack of a point when he was alone with Yun Chu, but as long as he left the Yun family, all the sons and nephews of the noble families he met on the road had to give way, and they had to stand on the side of the road to give salutes.
After the Shangyuan Festival, the spring of Chang'an has basically come, and there is no reason for people to continue to be lazy.
The land is most sensitive to the message that spring is coming, and diligent farmers have begun to transport manure to the fields, as well as the grass ash that has accumulated for a winter, and then sprinkle the manure and plant ash evenly in the ground.
At the end of January, when the fields had thawed, the ploughs dragged the plows to cut straight furrows in the fields and turn over the land that had been dormant for the winter.
This year, many farmers in Wannian County seem to be more leisurely than any other year, because they have received this season's harvest from the government, and now, they are just working step by step.
Just driving the cattle into the city and going to those construction sites that the royal family could not use for the time being, it was a new experience for them.
There are many farmers who have entered the city this year, not only from Wannian County, but also many from Chang'an County.
Since the house in Anyefang began to be built in an orderly manner, Liu Renliang's reputation as a snow sweeping county order has become a life-saving county order.
It is indeed a life-saving county order, if it weren't for Liu Renliang's order to vacate the houses of the county government to let those people who don't have houses spend the winter, there would definitely be many more people who froze to death in Chang'an County last winter.
When the farmers entered the city, Yun Chu and Liu Renliang rode out of the city.
Different from Yun Chu's view of Qujiangli, Liu Renliang was extremely envious of the seven smoking brick kilns in Qujiang, the countless bricks stacked on the flat ground and dried, and the truckloads of green bricks pulled out of the cooling kilns.
He even spread out his hands to catch the soot falling from the sky, and looked extremely envious.
In the previous era, the matter of being scolded by Shangguan on his head and face became a sign of happiness in Liu Renliang's place.
"That's really good—"
Liu Renliang looked at Yun Chu, and the wrinkles on his old face seemed to bloom with a smile.
Yun Chu proudly picked up a brick and said to Liu Ren: "County Zun, there was no such brick in this world before, but now with this brick, can it be said that these potters have created a brick of wealth?" ”
Liu Renliang also picked up a brick, struck the green brick with the iron hoop on the head of the horsewhip, listened to the slightly dull voice from the green brick, and said with a smile: "Sure enough." ”
Yun Chu pointed to some tall houses being built in Qujiang and said: "In another four months, the papermaking workshop here will take shape, and in the future, all the paper that comes out here will be used to supply Hu merchants, and it will not be sold internally." ”
Liu Renliang said puzzledly: "Why don't you sell it internally?" Could it be that the price offered by those Hu people is high? ”
Yun Chu nodded and said: "There are considerations in this regard, but it is more for the sake of other papermaking workshops in Datang." ”
Liu Ren track: "For their sake, why is this?" ”
Yun Chu pointed to the papermaking workshop that was still under construction and said: "Once the construction starts here, the daily paper production will be more than ten times the output of ordinary papermaking workshops."
In this way, the cost of making a piece of paper here is much lower than that of other paper mills, and if all of them enter the market, they will be quickly destroyed, and those paper mills elsewhere will leave those people without food.
So, the paper here is only external, not internal, I can earn more, and those paper workshops can live for a longer time. ”
Liu Ren track: "Can't the price be reduced?" This is definitely a good thing for people who use paper. ”
"For those who rely on papermaking to make a living, it is not good at all, in our Datang, the reader is not the priority of care, but the stomach of farmers and craftsmen is the object of priority care.
In this world, scholars can always live more easily than farmers and craftsmen. ”
"Why do you think that the cost of the paper workshop must be lower than that of the noodles in the small workshop?"
"The procurement cost is different, and the papermaking process is different, so the paper I have here must be cheaper."
"The raw materials for papermaking in many small workshops come from our own labor, and there is no procurement cost."
Yun Chu laughed and said: "County Zun, I remember telling you that money buys other people's labor time, no matter where the papermaking raw materials and labor in the small workshop come from, they have no way to save labor time after all."
When the county lord's cotton textile workshop in Chang'an County is built and operated, you will know how the flow operation method from Daqin will continue to flourish once it begins to circulate. ”
Liu Renliang is a very practical person, and he will not easily express his opinions when he does not see the actual situation.
Coming out of the Qujiang River full of soot, there is a Qujiang Pond with a smooth water surface like a mirror.
There was only spring news, so the wind blowing from the Qujiang River was still bitterly cold, but the ice on the edge of the pond had melted away, and even the willows that had not sprouted began to swing their long branches, which seemed to be very pleasant.
"In a few days, it is the time of the second day of February to fight spring cattle, are you going to go to the suburban social office in the imperial city to fight spring cattle, or do you want to come to the spring cattle on the edge of the Qujiang River?"
Yun Chu said with a smile: "Your Majesty will hunt spring cattle in the fields of the Dashe in the suburban social affairs department every year, pro-farming, I, a small official with a big sesame seed, can't manage so much, I still want to fight spring cattle on the edge of the Qujiang River, and put all my hopes on the land of Wannian County." ”
Liu Renliang nodded with a smile and said, "Very good." ”
Perhaps because of the same goal, Yun Chu felt very happy during the time he spent with Liu Renliang.
From the Taisha Society, we talked about farmland, then we talked about water conservancy projects, and then we talked about the worries about the salinization of the land in Chang'an and Wannian counties, and the hope of cotton planting and harvest.
On this day, the two rode horses to see Wannian County, as well as the land and water conservancy projects near Chang'an County.
The quality of the land in each place, the convenience of water conservancy, and where to focus on development, where the government needs to subsidize development, and where to put the last consideration.
When you are thirsty, you drink water, and when you are hungry, you eat a piece of Hu cake, and before you know it, the bell and drum that urges people to hurry back to the city ring again.
Before the last bell and drum stopped, the two of them entered Chang'an City, and when they parted on Suzaku Street, Liu Renliang looked at Yun Chu and said, "Li Keshi's matter is to blame.
It is best for their family's case to be handed over to Dali Temple, although it happened in Wannian County, it really has nothing to do with your Wannian County. ”
Yun Chu was silent for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "Be taught." ”
Liu Renliang smiled and waved his hand: "The old man is really looking forward to seeing you spread gold leaf on Chang'an now." ”
Yun Chu laughed and said, "When I cover Chang'an with gold leaf, I invite you to ride a horse together to see every golden corner of Chang'an City." ”
Liu Renliang raised his horsewhip, and the war horse under his crotch automatically turned his head and went to Xishi, Yun Chu also urged the jujube red horse, and the jujube red horse immediately ran towards Jinchangfang with interest. Although the two are in opposite directions, Yun Chu believes that as long as they are really doing things, they will always meet at the end.
