Chapter 158 Loyal Ministers Never Make Choices

The Yun family also has a lot of cotton.

It's all from Bashang.

Liu Yi was too arrogant, and was sent by Yun Chu to plant cotton in Bashang, as long as there was nothing important at home, he could only stay in Ba to watch cotton.

Now that all the cotton has been recovered, he can only return home after putting it in the small workshop in Qujiangfang and handing it over to Cui's family

Very good, after staying on the bashang for more than half a year, he finally learned to be restrained and low-key, and now, the whole person is very peaceful, and everyone laughs when he sees it, according to the gentle evaluation, this person now has half the demeanor of his housekeeper.

In fact, the most educational person for the housekeepers of Chang'an Xungui's family is none other than Yun Chu.

Ever since he cut off the head of the housekeeper of the Qiu Xinggong family with one sword, the housekeepers of the Xungui family have been collectively educated once.

The Yun family's cotton was never intended to be spun into cotton cloth, but was still made into quilts, cotton mattresses, cushions, and futons, and Cui even began to try to decorate the carriage with cotton cushions, according to Cui Shi, it can be well isolated from the noise outside, and will not damage the master's body because of the sudden bumps.

It's ridiculous to say, but the biggest demand for these cotton products produced by the Yun family is Pingkangfang, and Yun Chu has to admit that the first thing that appears in any era is basically the entertainment industry.

The entertainment industry will always be an industry that seeks innovation, change, and curiosity, and their acceptance of new things is far greater than that of the old-fashioned nobles, big families, and poor people.

What Liu Renliang is doing now is very embarrassing.

Not to mention the fact that he raised a lot of chickens at home, and there were two huge earthworm ponds, and the house was stinking all day long, and it was rumored that his chickens jumped on the stove to peck at the dinner left by his wife to Liu Renliang.

However, even the well-informed Yun Chu had to admit that Liu Renliang's family really had a lot of chickens.

In other words, Liu Renliang's house is now a huge chicken nest.

On the walls, on the trees, on the roof, there were chickens everywhere, and whenever Liu Renliang asked his servants to dig up the earthworms and chop them up and mix them with rice bran to feed the chickens, their chickens would fly out from all over the place, which was really a shade from the clouds.

Yun Chu, gentle, and Di Renjie were dumbfounded, but Liu Renliang was fascinated and couldn't extricate himself.

"The old man only relies on a small amount of rice bran with earthworms, and it takes half a year to achieve this great feat, what do you three think?"

Yun Chu looked at the green official robes on the three of them, as well as the white ivory wat board inserted on his waist, and always felt that something seemed to be quite wrong today.

The official in the red robe bravely rushed into the flock, caught a chicken with his bare hands, grabbed the chicken's two feet with one hand, let the unlucky chicken flutter indiscriminately, and held it up in front of the three people and said, "Fifty cents"

Gently and frightened, he used the wat board to protect his face and retreated again and again, he really couldn't understand that Liu Renliang solemnly invited the three of them to his house to drink today, but he saw a large flock of chickens.

Among the three, Yun Chu was the only one who understood Liu Renliang's mind better, so he grabbed the chicken with a smile, figured out how fat and thin, and said to Liu Renliang in surprise: "This chicken is very fat." “

Liu Renliang stroked his beard and laughed, "The old man called the steward of the Guangfufang canteen to come to the house and estimate the price of these two hundred and sixty chickens, and the canteen is willing to buy it at a price of fifty yuan for a chicken."

Two hundred and six chickens are thirteen cents.

Yun Chu, what do you think of the old man implementing such good governance in the countryside of Chang'an County?"

Yun Chu sighed and said, "If there are many hens in these chickens of yours, you can stop selling them for the time being, let these hens lay eggs specially, sell eggs, and sell chicken meat when the hens don't lay eggs, and your income can be higher."

However, let's say it first, you have to expand the scope of chicken raising, don't pull me Wannian County, I'm worried that after the people are tricked into raising chickens, there will suddenly be a chicken plague, and it may not only be chickens that will die, but also people who hang themselves. ”

The enthusiasm on Liu Renliang's face decreased at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, he took the chicken from Yun Chu's hand and threw it away, and sighed, "The old man is still a little too anxious.

Let's go in, Humble Jing has already prepared wine and food, Liu Renliang doesn't like banquets the most in his life, but Humble Jing must thank you for bringing the old man's two stubborn sons, no way, just take a look. ”

Entering the atrium of Liu Renliang's house, there are no chickens here, but there are a lot of vegetables growing in the place that was originally a garden.

Originally, under the long corridor of the host's house, there was a table of banquets, which looked good and hearty, mainly because there was a lot of chicken.

Di Renjie's eyes constantly scanned Liu Renliang's home, he really wanted to find out from the current furnishings that Liu Renliang was treacherous and loyal, but unfortunately, it failed, although everything here was old, it was placed very neatly, which showed that Liu Renliang's house was like this on weekdays.

Even when he came to the atrium, Wen Rou still felt that there was a stench in Liu Renliang's house.

Yun Chu has long been used to it because he has come too many times.

Liu Renliang is not a person who can be bought or co-opted with feelings, he is an extremely orthodox Confucian gentleman with his own set of pursuits.

With Di Renjie and Wen Rou here, Liu Renliang basically didn't talk to Yun Chu about business, just a strong persuasion.

Even if he spoke, he only talked about some of the past observations, and under Yun Chu's questioning, he told him about his great achievements in resisting Emperor Taizong back then.

After being full of wine and food, Yun Chu, Di Renjie, and Gentle left Liu Renliang's house.

Yun Chu sat on the back of the jujube red horse and asked Di Renjie, "Do you see what's coming?"

Di Renjie said: "Liu Renliang seems to be ready to travel far. ”

Gently nodded and said, "Not only is he prepared to travel far away, but he even took the initiative to isolate visits from outsiders." “

Yun Chu said, "You mean those chickens"

nodded softly and said, "Liu Renliang was born in a poor family, but he is not a poor person who has never seen any of the world.

His wife is not a peasant girl, and she made her house stink, which is not in line with Liu Renliang's background and his wife's behavior.

I even thought that today's banquet was a farewell banquet for him to say goodbye to you. ”

Yun Chu looked up at the distant mountains that were gradually becoming a little autumn and said, "Goguryeo, some time ago, he once said to me that if you don't enter Goguryeo in this life, you will be a minister in vain. ”

Gently shook his head and said, "If this matter is kept secret, then needless to say, Liu Renliang must have been sent to Beihai County to build a ship." ”

Di Renjie frowned and said, "Beihai is not a good place, especially for things like shipbuilding.

At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo by building ships in Beihai County, causing maggots to grow from the waist down the shipbuilders, and finally got people like Wang Bo out.

The matter of shipbuilding is a pain in the chest of the people of Hebei and Shandong, and it is a pain that cannot be touched.

If Liu Renliang had been ordered to supervise the construction of the warship this time, I believe that he would not have been able to have smooth sailing. ”

Gentle and said, "Many people know about Your Majesty's preparation to attack Goguryeo, but if you want to attack Goguryeo, land is one thing, but naval battles are also one thing.

Your Majesty has long been looking for courtiers who can supervise the construction of ships, and as far as I know, since Emperor Taizong's conquest of Goguryeo, a total of six people have gone to Beihai to supervise the construction of warships, two died in office, three were punished by His Majesty's demotion and punishment, and one disappeared into the sea in a small boat.

Therefore, going to Beihai to build a shipbuilding is definitely not a very good errand, the time and place are favorable, and these three things are almost the same, and failure is inevitable. ”

Yun Chu sighed and said, "I once suggested to Your Majesty that Liu Renliang be the master of the cotton textile workshop, but I was rejected by Your Majesty without thinking about it.

It seems that Lao Liu really received the worst errand this time, you say, the six people in front of him have failed, why does he think he can do it?"

Gently looked up to the sky and sighed, "This is the disadvantage of loyal ministers, because loyal ministers have always only accepted, not to choose, our brothers must be cautious in the future." ”

When he returned home, Yun Chu was still thinking about it, and he didn't remember that there was a record in history that Liu Renliang supervised the construction of warships.

However, with him in Silla, Baekje showed his might and defeated the Japanese navy.

Yun Chu vaguely felt that it might be that the performance of the cotton textile workshop was too good, which changed the original trajectory of Liu Renliang's life.

For this possibility, Yun Chu could only smile bitterly.

Yu Xiurong was very strange today, she didn't hug her own beautiful jade, nor did she hug Caiyun Niang, but hugged Wu Meisheng's jade slave.

This child looks very well-behaved today, although the hair on his huge head is thin, he has a sky-high braid, and he is wearing a fancy coat, which looks small, and strangles this fat child like a silkworm, section by section.

Yu Xiurong shook the child in front of Yun Chu and said, "This flower dress looks good."

Yun Chu pouted and said, "In the future, when you make clothes for your children, remember to make them fit, and our family is not short of that little bit of clothing." ”

As soon as Yun Chu finished speaking, the nurse who was in charge of taking care of the child began to stagger, and it seemed that she would faint if she was stimulated a little more.

Yu Xiurong said, "This is what the queen made for her daughter, what is the husband talking nonsense." ”

Yun Chu frowned and unbuttoned the button around the child's neck, obviously the neck collar was too small, and the child was snorting and panting, and said that it was not good-looking.

The next time the lady comes back, you pick up a shirt that suits the child and let her take it back, and if the queen misses her daughter, she can make it according to the size of the dress. ”

As Yun Chu spoke, he took off the flowery clothes on the child's body, handed them to the nurse, and asked her to take care of them, no matter what, this is Wu Mei's rare maternal love, which is indeed worth cherishing.
