Chapter 168 The mystery that cannot be understood
The twelve copper cows in Wannian County and the twelve copper cattle in Chang'an County have all become real real estate that no one can use and put them on the streets of Chang'an.
Everyone says that copper peas can't be fried, steamed, untied, or taken off, and the same is true for copper cows.
The 100,000 catties of copper cattle have taken root from the moment they landed.
In fact, large-scale transactions of Datang people do not exist, especially transactions that can be used for more than 10,000 yuan at a time.
Even the house on Suzaku Street looks like a transaction of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, but in fact, if it is a normal transaction, it will not use much copper.
Because no one could drag a dozen copper oxen to buy a house on Suzaku Street with Yun Chu.
Except for those people who forcibly paid all the copper coins in their hands according to Yun Chu's requirements, the rest was basically bartering.
This thing can be grain, silk, or even cattle and sheep and land, which is a huge asset exchange.
Therefore, the emperor can recover a lot of various resources from Hebei and Shandong by legal means through the Baiqi Division.
And it will take a long time to harvest these resources......
This is the emperor is the least loss, the least impact of a way, some people owe money, can not be collected, some people owe money can be discounted, of course, there are some people owe money that needs to be paid immediately.
These are all interests, many interests that are more important than money.
As for Yun Chu's casting of copper coins into copper bulls, Li Zhi has no opinion on this, and is even happy to see it happen, as long as these copper bulls are still in the land of the Tang Dynasty, this thing is his.
The landmark event of Chang'an City's return from chaos to peace is the Mid-Autumn Festival event jointly organized by Wannian County and Chang'an County.
In order to celebrate this event, Liu Renliang took the initiative to go to the emperor, hoping that the emperor could give the old man in Chang'an City who was over 70 years old a reward of 500 yuan, a silk silk, a jar of wine, and a knife of meat.
The emperor agreed, and immediately, the Mid-Autumn Festival full moon celebration in Chang'an City began with bad people, officials, small officials, county lieutenants, chief bookkeepers, county officials, and county orders sending emperor rewards to the old people.
Life is rare in seventy years, which is good in Chang'an, a metropolis of one million people, only 3,000 people are over 70 years old, less than 500 people are 80 years old, only 70 people are 90 years old, and there is only an old woman named Mi Yuan and the famous Sun Shenxian who is over 100 years old.
In the Tang Dynasty, the elderly over the age of seventy no longer need to bow to anyone, and the eighty-year-old must be seated even if they are officials, and as for the ninety-year-old people, even if the emperor and the queen see it, they must first salute their juniors.
As for centenarians...... They can do whatever they want, and murder and arson are among the pardons, provided that they can still do it.
Yun Chu felt that judging from Sun Shenxian's physical condition, his old man still had the ability to kill people with his own hands, and he could kill two at the same time!
Yun Chu, gentleness was rampant outside, which made people dare to be angry and dare not speak, but when he arrived at Sun Shenxian, he was pinched by the back of his neck and knelt in the courtyard, and one person took a document to look at it carefully, and said that he was not allowed to get up if he couldn't memorize it.
As for the gifts brought by Yun Chu and Wen Rou and the two of them, no one took a second look at them in a room.
"Chang'an had 8,785 children under the age of six die last year, and that's not counting the ones that have not been recorded."
"What I'm recording here is that 3,863 pregnant women died, tsk tsk, why did you die so much?"
"Hey, the chance of a child dying is two out of seven, how is this possible?"
"More than half of maternal deaths are due to underfeeding?"
The two thin documents, which recorded extremely dangerous cases, saw Yun Chu and Wen Wen's scalps numb.
As a magistrate, Yun Chu knew that giving birth to a child in Datang was equivalent to passing through the ghost gate, and if a child in Datang did not grow up to ten years old, it would not be considered to survive.
"You have the skill of casting copper coins into copper oxen to make your reputation, why don't you take out those copper coins as if they were gifts for the elderly, and take care of those pregnant women and children.
When people are over seventy, there is no need to live, and for the sake of a vain head, the meat that should be attached to the child's body is pasted to our old coffins. ”
Sun Simiao sat upright in the lobby, his back straight, and there was no joke on his face.
Yun Chu hurriedly said: "The branch of the Tai Hospital has been completed, just waiting for the recruitment of good doctors, and the preparation of the pharmacy, once these two things are ready, we will be able to open the door immediately to solve problems for the people." ”
Sun Simiao didn't seem to hear Yun Chu's words, his eyes looked at the sky and said, "You people only have eyes on the sky, can't you look down?"
Just thinking about how to serve the emperor well and how to accomplish your grand ambitions, can't you really feel how inferior people live?
Although Yun Chu was born poor, but, you have lived a tough life since you were a child, and you killed it out of that savage den, and achieved your current achievements, Yun Chu, after you killed the savage den, you never looked back to see the savage den, right?
You've come out of the Savage's Den, and do you care about the people who don't have the skills to get out of the Savage's Den like you?
Naha told me that you started killing people before you were ten years old...... That is to say, you know how to take advantage of it when you are less than ten years old, Yun Chu, it is not right to do this, you can't use murder to make you live a good life......"
"And gentle you, you were born to be a noble son in the world, and you have enjoyed the wealth of the world since you were a child, even if you are not satisfied, you feel that you are born with high talent and need to do something great......
You have indeed done a great job, but unfortunately, when you are doing great things, how many people do you know who have become ruined and separated from their wives because of your great events?
The old Taoist has been cultivating for many years, so he naturally knows the truth of the injustice of the Heavenly Dao, but after all, the Heavenly Dao still has to be perfected through the rule of man.
Do you feel that your people are so big and majestic that the ants and people can't bear it?
You don't, you are still immersed in your victory, you feel that you have opened a lifetime of peace for Chang'an.
But where is the peace?
Lao Dao didn't feel it. ”
Gentle hurriedly said: "Juniors, let's go to Chang'an Orphanage to increase the support of Orphanage and Fushou. ”
Yun Chu followed: "The disciple will start to build a branch of the Tai Hospital that is specially for pregnant women and babies, please believe in the disciple, the disciple will definitely do a good job in this matter." ”
"That's it?" Sun Simiao's old face was full of disappointment.
Yun Chu and Gentle glanced at each other, and hurriedly said, "Please show the old immortal." ”
Sun Simiao got up slowly, waved his hand and said: "Everyone says that the two of you have the talent of the world, and the old Tao believes this, but unfortunately, that is, there is a talent of the world, and the rest is not enough." ”
After speaking, Lao Dao walked into the back house, and the loneliness revealed by the back was almost condensed into a real shadow.
At the beginning of the clouds, gentleness looked at each other.
"Breeze."
"Bright Moon"
Yun Chu grabbed the seventy-year-old Taoist Qingfeng.
Gently pulled the seventy-year-old Taoist boy Mingyue.
"The Tao is the way, the Tao is very good."
"It's famous, it's not famous!"
Yun Chu learned a truth from the mouth of Qingfeng Daotong: the Tao can be told to everyone, but the Tao that can be told cannot be called the original eternal and broad Tao.
Gentleness also knew a truth from the mouth of Mingyue Daotong: the so-called name, the name that can be said is not the real name.
To sum up, it means: a truth that can be named in words is not an enduring truth.
These words are expressed in words, every word Yun Chu, Gentle knows, what is the meaning of these words, Yun Chu and Gentle also understand clearly.
So, what exactly does Sun Shenxian mean?
Yun Chu, Gentleness touched the ash of the old fairy's nose here, and it seemed that he had offended people a lot, so he naturally wanted to pull Di Renjie and Zhong Kui over to think together, calculating, in the end, it was not done well there, which made the old fairy so disappointed.
"There are many children who die young, many pregnant women die in childbirth, Yunchu wants to establish a women's and children's hospital, gentleness wants to increase the support of the orphanage, and Fushouyuan's support can be regarded as symptomatic.
From the official's point of view, there is nothing wrong with doing so, and it can even be said to be compassionate. After thinking for a while, Di Renjie also felt that Yun Chu's answer to Gentle was correct.
Zhong Kui's opinion is different from Di Renjie's.
"The old fairy said that your eyes are in the sky, and the sky is ruthless, and the old fairy said that you should put your eyes on the ground, and the earth is sentient to let all things grow, so if you want to satisfy the old fairy, you must put your kung fu on this love word."
After listening to Zhong Kui's explanation, Yun Chu and Wen Rou still shook their heads, feeling that it was not right, the answer they had made before was already based on the word love, so they were willing to take out more money to focus on taking care of the pregnant women and babies raised by the old immortals, however, there are many things that a county government has to take care of, each of which is extremely important, and it is impossible to devote all resources to these two things.
The four of them discussed it again for a long time and didn't come up with a suitable answer, and Yun Chu was ready to come to the door again to visit the old immortal.
If you can't understand the mystery given by the old fairy, then ask directly, and after asking clearly, come back to understand the mystery, which is a good way to seek the Tao.
When Yun Chu and Wen Rou came to the old immortal's mansion again, it was already overcrowded, and today, the sign outside the mansion said two big words pediatrics, which means that the old immortal only sees pediatrics today.
Therefore, in the mansion of the old fairy, the cries of children came and went, and these voices fell on the ears of Yun Chu and Wen Wen, like magic sounds.
