Chapter 764 You have to get used to the charm of Chang'an
Even though it was a scorching summer, Chang'an City was still full of vitality. After the women in Pingkangfang walked around Zhuque Street spontaneously in cool gauze clothes, Chang'an, where everyone wanted to cool off, spontaneously became hotter.
Yunchu is a person who doesn't like heat very much, so he chose the dungeon in Wannian County as his office location.
The people who built the dungeon were very intentional. The entrance is at the windward opening. As long as the entrance of the dungeon is opened, the wind can pass through the entire dungeon, and finally leave through the exit of the dungeon, bringing fresh air into the dungeon.
The fresh air mixes with the damp air of the dungeon, making it dry and cool.
Of course, the dungeon door is usually not opened, damp and cold is the daily atmosphere in the dungeon. Now, the county magistrate enters the dungeon to work, and the prisoners in the dungeon also take advantage of it.
Yunchu never thought that Yanjiu would still have ice here. Although Yanjiu crushed the sweet-scented osmanthus ice to make it sweet and delicious, thinking that the ice was originally stored in the dungeon, Yunchu didn't really want to drink it. , after all, the death row prisoners in the dungeon eat and drink in the dungeon, and Yan Jiu likes to practice with prisoners, God knows what kind of smell this sweet-scented osmanthus ice will be contaminated with.
Yan Jiu deliberately placed the osmanthus ice cubes in Yunchu's most convenient position, and was still unwilling to leave, so she wanted to watch Yunchu drink this cup of osmanthus ice cubes and get a few words of appreciation.
Unfortunately, Yunchu always refuses to drink.
The news from Luoyang is always two days later than the actual time. Unless there is something very, very important, Yin Erhu will use a few pigeons.
Yun Chu checked the time on the news and found that there was no timely news, so he knew that nothing earth-shattering had happened in Luoyang.
For people in the government, what they hate the most is earth-shattering events. Once such an event happens, even if they didn't like each other before, at this time, everyone will work together to suppress the earth-shattering event first. Let's talk about other things.
Therefore, once an earth-shattering event in the eyes of the common people occurs, the common people will miraculously find that when the government handles such matters, it usually handles them quietly, and the processing speed is very fast. It is definitely not the rolling thunder that the common people think.
This makes many people who want to watch the excitement very disappointed...
In the government, the things that can really be used for fighting and tearing are small things, because only tearing and fighting hard on these small things is allowed by the emperor and the bigwigs in the court, and they are happy to see it.
If you don't tear up and fight, you won't be a government. Everyone stretches their necks and waits for their superiors to be unlucky, and they are in power. This level of tearing and fighting helps the government let go of the old and accept the new.
Therefore, after Yunchu saw the Baiyunguan extermination case, he didn't think it was so strange. It was just a fight between the emperor and the queen, and the death of hundreds of Taoist priests and Hualang disciples was not a big deal.
Back then, when Li Chengqian and Li Tai each commanded their own eunuchs and servants to fight in an army formation, more people died than Baiyun Temple.
Of course, the battle between these two brothers was not as fierce as the battle between Emperor Taizong and his elder brother. Until now, in the open space outside Xuanwu Gate, there are always fires of phosphorus flying in the summer night.
Judging from the news sent by Yin Erhu, Zhong Kui, a fool, is the one who has suffered the most. He likes to be the first to take the lead when encountering an attack and bear the heavy burden bravely. Therefore, the casualties of the believers he brought are naturally the heaviest. More than half of the believers were lost, and there were no more than twenty survivors, and each of them was injured.
The reason why there was such a large amount of damage was entirely because the opponent used firearms. Many believers saw kerosene bombs for the first time.
Through this incident, Yunchu discovered that Zhong Kui could not be the leader. If he was the one who brought people to this Daoist gathering, he would never put himself in the position of leading the battle. After making all the preparations, it was still only a lightning strike.
Zhong Kui's heart is too real, and he is always willing to think too well of others, just like when he was the number one scholar in the past, he always thought that the emperor was a person who only considered talent, not appearance. As a result, he almost killed himself. If Yunchu hadn't kicked the mat over, he would have been killed on the threshold long ago.
This time was the same, he regarded Li Chunfeng and Ye Fashan who had been kind to him back then as good people, and as a result, in times of crisis, they pushed him out and used him as a slap in the face.
Even people like Zhang Guo took advantage of Zhong Kui's fight with the enemy and took advantage of the opportunity to run away...Only Zhong Kui was always fighting on the front line.
The sweet-scented osmanthus ice was about to turn into ice water. Yan Jiu was a little anxious. Just as he was about to remind the county lord to drink up the ice, the obese Di Renjie appeared in front of Yunchu wrapped in a gust of hot wind. There was a bowl of crushed ice, without further ado, he picked it up and drank it down under Yan Jiu's resentful gaze.
"Ah, Shu Tan—have another bowl."
Yan Jiu hugged the bowl that Di Renjie stuffed for him, and reluctantly left. Di Renjie shouldn't be allowed to drink this bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus ice. If you appreciate it, there will be rewards. I have heard that when the county lord recently rewarded people, it was a handful of golden melon seeds.
Di Renjie's obese body exuded a high fever, Yun Chu had to move his body outside, and said puzzledly: "Nothing happened in Chang'an City, right? Why are you running around wheezing and panting?"
Di Renjie waved his hands and said, "Nowadays, people in Chang'an City are eating egg pancakes on the back of a golden bull."
Yun Chu laughed and said, "It's just the common people asking for a lottery, what's so strange about it?"
Di Renjie smiled wretchedly and said: "I also heard that many women with abdominal pain will ride on a golden bull to treat their abdominal pain when they have nothing to do. Now they spread eggs on a hot golden bull. Don't you plan to take care of it?"
Yun Chu spread his hands and said, "The people under my rule are not so stupid, are they?"
Di Renjie laughed loudly and said, "It's more stupid than you think."
Yun Chu said: "This means that the common people now understand a truth."
"What's the point?"
"Wealth can enlighten the spirit and cure all diseases."
Di Renjie sighed and said: "You have been in Chang'an for the past few years, and you have destroyed Chang'an people's stubborn view of getting rich through hard work and frugality. Among the people in Chang'an today, not many people get rich by relying on diligence and thrift, and few people get rich by relying on thrift." Yes, the reason why they become rich is that you push them to become rich passively through many means.
It's unfair to be able to rely on a broken house of your own to surpass the accumulation of other people's generations or even a dozen generations.
After a long time, the atmosphere will be bad. This is the case in Chang'an today. Everyone is looking forward to getting something for nothing. "
Yun Chu looked at Di Renjie and said, "Women ride golden bulls to relieve abdominal pain, and common people spread eggs with golden bulls to eat for a little luck. Can you see such a serious problem from this?"
Di Renjie sighed and said, "Don't worry about the few, but the unevenness."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "There must be some lucky people in this world."
Di Renjie said: "All the lucky people gather in Chang'an, not only those who demolish houses are lucky, but even Chang'an government soldiers, Chang'an people, Chang'an businessmen, Chang'an craftsmen, and even Chang'an sweepers are luckier than other places. a little better.
Do you know how many government soldiers are willing to come to Chang'an to serve, how many merchants are willing to come to Chang'an to do business, how many craftsmen are willing to come to Chang'an to work, and even beggars are willing to beg in Chang'an.
If things go on like this, Chang'an will become the public enemy of officials all over the world. "
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Everyone says Wen Rou and I are officials, since we are officials, we must do some things that officials must do, if we can't make other officials jealous, what kind of officials are we?
Chang'an will only get better and better. In the future, more rich and intelligent people will gather. These rich and intelligent people will become one of the contents of Chang'an. Those who like Chang'an come, and those who don't like Chang'an Just go, this is a free city, good or bad depends on the individual's ability. "
Di Renjie saw that Yunchu didn't care much, so he reminded him: "Xue Rengui is going to review Chang'an's registered soldiers in ten days, and the period will be 26 days."
Yun Chu spread his hands and said: "Then review it, as long as he has enough money and food, we can save money and food to support the government soldiers after reviewing for a year or so."
Di Renjie said: "There may be three lieutenants Zhechong who will be replaced, and the captain Guo Yi, the lieutenant, and the commander of the brigade will probably make a big move. You have to be prepared to deal with it."
Yun Chu said with a smile: "Chang'an City has its own color, no matter who comes, it will naturally become the color of Chang'an City after a long time.
We are targeting all the government soldiers, not just petty captains such as Captain Zhechong, Captain Guoyi, Captain Lieutenant, and Brigade Commander.
Even if all the former Fubing leaders are replaced, these people can only be promoted from the local Fubing, and it will be the same if they are replaced.
Just because the leader of the army changed, the treatment they received would not change. "
Di Renjie saw that Yan Jiu brought two more bowls of osmanthus ice, but replaced the big bowl with two small bowls. He was very hot, so he finished the two bowls of osmanthus ice in two or three, and then Throwing the bowl to Yan Jiu said: "Change to a bigger bowl, this is enough for anyone to drink."
Seeing that Yanjiu looked distressed, Yunchu grabbed a few golden melon seeds and put them in an empty bowl and said to Di Renjie, "Next time I will bring some to drink by myself, do you think these honey water, crushed ice, and sweet-scented osmanthus don't cost money? "
Di Renjie looked at the beaming Yan Jiu, scratched his hair and said to Yun Chu: "Your own subordinates also want to give money?"
Yun Chu said: "Fairness is the biggest feature of our Chang'an."
Di Renjie looked at the golden melon seeds in the bowl, then at the flattering Yan Jiu, pointed at the golden melon seeds in the bowl and said, "Who can enjoy this kind of fairness?"
Yun Chu patted his chest and said, "I, do you think Yan Jiu is a shameless cell boss who ventilates the cell, cleans the office space for us, and prepares a big bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus ice? Isn't it just these golden melon seeds?
Isn't it a matter of course that the human world chooses the object of service, pays for the service, and finally gets the golden melon seeds? "
Di Renjie looked at Yunchu and said, "Come to my house for dinner tomorrow, my wife will cook, my son will recite poems for you, my little girl will beat your legs, and my father will chat with you. If you can't pay for a pot of golden melon seeds, you don't want to leave my house. "
Yun Chu laughed loudly and said, "Look, look, haven't you already learned how to live in Chang'an, why did you look out of place just now?"
