Chapter 811

Qinchuan Xiongdi residence, Hangu Zhuang residence.

Qidian Qianxun rises, and there are more than a hundred pheasants in Ligong.

Lian Lian met Han from afar, and flew to see Lingxu.

The clouds and the sun are hidden, and the wind and smoke are sparse.

The first poem in the "Quan Tang Poems" that Yunchu had read was Emperor Taizong's "Dijing".

The whole poem is full of Emperor Taizong's personal imagination, the words are extremely exaggerated, and the allusions are full of the poet's romanticism, especially in compressing space and crossing time.

It is similar to Li Bai's poems such as "flying stream down three thousand feet, and it is suspected that the Milky way falls nine days".

The Lushan Waterfall is very small. I have seen it before Yun Chu. It is a thin stream of water falling from a cliff tens of meters high. Sometimes the wind is stronger, and it can blow away the Milky Way described by Li Bai...

Therefore, the imperial capital described by Emperor Taizong has been reduced by about ten times, which is basically what it looks like in reality.

If Qinchuan and Hangu in the poems are removed again, and only Chang'an in Taizong's period is mentioned, it should be reduced by three or four times.

Of course, Chang'an was different when Yun Chu was an official in charge of Chang'an. Just the city on Longshouyuan could restore the bullshit that Emperor Taizong boasted to about [-]%. If Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace are completed , if the renovation project of Qujiang Pond is completed, this poem by Emperor Taizong can be regarded as a realistic poem.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor is responsible for bragging, and officials are responsible for restoring the emperor's bragging to reality.

Of course, this is Yunchu's personal opinion. Li Jingxuan's son-in-law Liu Yu and Wei Dongcheng's eldest son Wei Mian don't think so. They dare not and will not connect Emperor Taizong's poems with reality. The momentum here is majestic, with the imperial air of swallowing the world.

Liu Yu is the son of the Wangchuan Liu family. Wangchuan is not big, and it is a small town under Lantian County. Because of the presence of Yunchu, the Marquis of Lantian, the Wangchuan Liu family can only be wronged and ranked second in Lantian County.

Li Jingxuan is from Bozhou and is from the same hometown as Cao Cao. Unfortunately, Bozhou in the Tang Dynasty was far away from the political center. Therefore, Li Jingxuan moved his whole family to Guanzhong when Emperor Taizong enlisted him as a doctor of Hongwenguan. Dr. Hongwenguan’s salary was very little, so he couldn’t bring his whole family to settle down in Chang’an, so he chose Wangchuan, which was relatively cheap. Then, he naturally got married with the local local tyrant Liu in Wangchuan, and was able to settle in Wangchuan.

The reason why Li Jingxuan would send his son-in-law here instead of his son was well thought out. He still has doubts about Yunchu's management, so he will practice with his son-in-law first, and then let his son follow up if it is feasible.

In contrast, Wei Dongcheng is more practical, directly going to his eldest son, this person is a big gambler.

In Dongshi, there is a dormitory prepared by the Wannian County Government for officials. It is not too big. It has three rooms and a small yard, which is suitable for a family of three and an old servant.

Neither Liu Yu nor Wei Mian brought their wives and children here, and today was their first official business day in Wannian County, so they got up early, walked through the newly awakened Dongshi City, and stepped into Wannian County lightly. The county government of Nian County.

After entering, I found that the county government office was already overcrowded.

Liu Yu saw the master assigned to him by the county government, so he brought Wei Mian forward to greet him.

Lao Zhang from the Household Cao Department looked up at the tall Liu Yu and asked Wei Mian, "Are you also coming to eat court food?"

Liu Yu froze for a moment and said, "Court food?"

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "The salaries of the officials are small, so there is a morning meal and lunch for free. As for the evening meal, you have to arrange it yourself. Let's go, the old man will take the two of you to Zhanggu to get it. Lunch box."

Liu Yu followed Lao Zhang to the storeroom where Zhang Gu received not only a bronze lunch box, but also a two-layer insulated food box, which contained dinner plates, soup bowls, bowls, chopsticks and spoons.

Seeing that Liu Yu and Wei Mian were looking over and over again at the new things they had just received, Lao Zhang took two cupronickel kettles from Zhang Gu's hand with a smile, handed them to Liu Yu and Wei Mian, and said, "Add the pen and ink. Paper inkstones, clothes, shoes and socks for the four seasons of spring, autumn, summer and winter, just for this item, we petty officials can save six pennies a year. The generous bonus is more than enough to feed a family of six or seven."

Liu Yu saw that the cupronickel kettle felt fresh, followed Zhang Gu's demonstration, unscrewed the lid, and was puzzled to see the thread on the mouth.

Naturally, Zhanggu would not explain to them what thread is, but just pointed out that the lid of the pot can be used as a cup.

"This kettle, apart from my Chang'an government office, there is no such good thing in other places. Whether it is for water, tea, or wine, it can be used without leaking or spilling. As for what to put in it, it depends on personal preference, but what? , You can't drink alcohol when you're on errand, this is strictly prohibited by the county government.

In the future, if the two young brothers go to other places for business, if they see people drinking water with this kind of kettle, there is no need to say anything, just take out the kettle, and the work will be more than twice as smooth. "

Liu Yu pointed to the jug hanging from Zhang Gu's waist and said, "Brother's jug must be filled with good wine."

Zhang Gu chuckled and said, "The basis of the former Xinfeng fine wine is the Wannian wine that people call it now. Two days ago, I went to the Wannian winery to take inventory and got two jars. You must not tell it."

Mingming just said that drinking on business trips is strictly forbidden, Liu Yu and Wei Mian found that Lao Zhang skillfully unfastened the wine pot from his waist, twisted the wine pot, and poured a big gulp of wine into his mouth. Raising his eyebrows, he handed the jug to Liu Yu...

You can't drink too much, that is, each person pours a sip into his mouth and tastes it. Zhang Gu took back the jug and said with a smile: "The bottom of the wine pool tastes the best."

While fanning the smell of wine on his body with his sleeve, Lao Zhang said to Liu Yu and Wei Mian, "Quickly dissipate the smell of wine, so that the Shangguan won't smell it."

With the experience of going to work and drinking together, Liu Yu and Wei Mian immediately fell in love with this master, and had greater expectations for the work of the Wannian County Government.

After receiving the things, Liu Yu and Wei Mian had already learned from their elders that Yunchu was going to grind hard, and they were ready to endure hardships. Unexpectedly, Lao Zhang took the two of them to the back hall. Canteen.

"Everyone thinks that the food in Jinchangfang dining hall is the most delicious in Chang'an, but they don't know that the real food is hidden in the canteen of my Wannian county government. All the chefs who prepare meals here are from Jinchangfang dining hall. The master who came out.

Nowadays, countless new dishes in Chang'an City often come from the canteen of the county government first, and then appear in the canteen of Jinchangfang. "

Entering the cafeteria, Liu Yu and Wei Mian were taken aback. They thought that the richness of the breakfast in the Jinchangfang cafeteria was the best in Chang'an. Unexpectedly, the Wannian County cafeteria was truly full of land and water.

Liu Yu and Wei Mian met a few companions who were assigned to Wannian County here. Now, they are eating according to the case, eating fiercely, as if they have long forgotten their real purpose of coming to Wannian County.

Liu Yu and Wei Mian glanced at each other, originally they were already [-]% affectionate towards Lao Zhang, but now they are only [-]% polite.

The two of them believed that the petty officials in Wannian County were not good people, and they planned to pass through these corrupt lives to wear down their will, so that they would forget their original intention of coming to Wannian County.

Therefore, Liu Yu and Wei Mian only enjoyed a few simple breakfasts before decisively putting down the bowls and chopsticks. Unexpectedly, Lao Zhang brought three pears and handed them to Liu Yu. Wei Mian frowned Said: "When working in Chang'an, you must have the appetite like a cow, the stamina like a camel, the spirit like a horse, the stubborn temper like a donkey, and the gang ability like a wolf.

If you eat less, you won't be able to survive. "

Liu Yu pointed to the sumptuous meals in the cafeteria and said, "My generation didn't come here just for the sake of food and drink."

Lao Zhang laughed and said, "There is no reason to waste every grain in Wannian County."

As soon as the voice fell, a bell rang outside the cafeteria. There were many officials who were eating, and the petty official put the unfinished food in front of him into his lunch box, and then left the cafeteria without hesitation .

After Lao Zhang led the two of them away, the two handymen closed the cafeteria door with a bang.

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "Now, even if you want to eat, you have to wait until noon. Let's go to the toilet immediately to deal with water and fire. After a cup of tea, we have no time to rest. Today, we are going to visit Dongshi 120 shop.

Ok, let's get to work. "

Liu Yu and Wei Mian soon discovered that Lao Zhang who started working was completely different from Lao Zhang who was not working.

The things to do today are very important, not only to check the suitability of the shops, but also to check the tax invoices of the shops, and to inspect the fire prevention, anti-theft, and hygiene issues of the shops with fire patrol shops and bad people. If there is something that needs to be resolved on the spot, If you should be fined, you should be fined, and if you should put people in jail, you should put them in jail.

The county government hopes that through this joint inspection, the shops in Wannian County will develop the habit of abiding by various rules and regulations.

After a whole day, Liu Yu and Wei Mian, the two pampered sons, after running for thirty miles with Lao Zhang, not only were their bodies exhausted, but their heads seemed to be full of hornets. There are thousands of strange voices ringing in my head.

Lao Zhang was equally exhausted, but his spirit was much better than these two young people.

After checking the records made by the two young people, and correcting a few mistakes in the records, after returning to the county government office, he put a thick stack of documents beside the two young people and said, "Don't be bothered, this It's the first day. You are different from the old man. Because the old man has no knowledge, he probably will be a petty official all his life.

You two are more than a hundred times better than me in terms of family background and knowledge, and you are both young people with great prospects. Don't be lazy at this time. After walking around Chang'an City with the old man, you will be able to know the city like the back of your hand.

When you have accumulated enough qualifications, you will naturally be able to rise to the top. Two young brothers, I, Lao Zhang, don’t dare to slack off here. Even if the two of you are complaining about me now, I don’t want you two to encounter difficulties in the future. I only remember hating me, Lao Zhang. At that time, I couldn't bear the anger of the two of you. "

Liu Yu hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "Master Zhang must not think so, Wei Mian and I came to Wannian County to study here in accordance with the wishes of our elders. It is okay to endure hardships, but I am afraid that we will not learn the real thing. "

Seeing that the rest of the people in the official office had already left, Lao Zhang lowered his voice and said, "As far as I know, the county lord treats you two differently. Look, some of the people who came in with you have gone. Hucao, some went to Gongcao, and three went to Xingming. They all have specific errands, but the two of you, the county lord didn't assign any specific errands, just said to let you follow the government, the old man did it The errands are the most basic errands in the county government, mainly to learn how to manage the people directly.

After you have learned how to manage the people, you should learn how to manage the merchants, and then learn how to manage a project from beginning to end. After these three things are over, you have to go to the Liushui brand in Qujiang to be an apprentice , tsk tsk, when the time comes, I will watch millions of dollars of money flowing past my eyes... what happens next is beyond my old Zhang's guess. "

The words that Lao Zhang said were both affectionate and envious. When they fell on Liu Yu and Wei Mian, they completely changed their ears. From their point of view, the reason why Lao Zhang showed such flattery , is completely waiting for a favor in the future.

Fortunately, Lao Zhang has made his words clear today, and he didn't mean to torture them deliberately, but the two of them are short on time, have heavy tasks, and there are too many things to learn...

Back in the dormitory, the two had a quick meal of takeaway from the big cafeteria. After washing up a bit, they began to read the official documents seriously, and became familiar with the most basic operation methods of Chang'an City.

It's not that there are no playboys in rich families, but those who are playboys are basically abandoned by the family, and only they have time to do some playboy things.

Liu Yu and Wei Mian are the pillars of their family's future. They have to study at three o'clock and five o'clock since they were young. In addition, the Tang Dynasty has always favored martial arts, and martial arts is also a must. Therefore, as long as they are willing, they can still endure hardships. .

After studying the rules and regulations in the middle of the night, Liu Yu and Wei Mian came to the county government office full of energy, ready to have a big meal to welcome their new jobs, but found that the officials of Wannian County were standing in the courtyard of the county government office , Each of them asked and answered questions with a serious face around their own supervisors.

Seeing the two of them, Lao Zhang immediately waved for them to come over, and even made room for them.

"I was too tired yesterday. I forgot to tell you that every three days, there will be a morning meeting to report on my previous work progress and plan for future work progress. You should listen first and report to Hu Cao at the end."

Liu Yu, who had never held a morning meeting before, suddenly became interested in Wei Mian, after all, everything that happened here was new to him.

And what young people like most is new things.

Naturally, Yunchu didn't need to hold any morning meetings. This was a matter for their small department to sum up experience and lessons. Many rules and regulations of Wannian County were summed up by them in this way.

Of course, Yunchu will also take the opportunity to incorporate many regulations that he needs. Anyway, whether these regulations are good or not, the officials will implement them, because no matter whether they can understand the meaning or not, they are all summed up by themselves. It involves a sense of honor. After all, those who can extract good lessons will be rewarded in the end.

Wen Rou didn't come today, because Chang'an County is also holding a morning meeting.

After Yunchu drank three jars of tea, the morning meeting in Wannian County was over. Liu Yu and Wei Mian raised some childish questions after summarizing yesterday's work, but no one Laughing at them, Account Manager Cao also praised them, thinking that it is very rare for two newcomers to have such cognition, and in the end, he also encouraged them to make persistent efforts and try to put forward more constructive opinions, so that The work of Hucao in Wannian County has been improved.

Liu Yu and Wei Mian, who came from a wealthy family, continued to maintain the calmness that they should have from a wealthy family.

However, it was as if a super hurricane had blown in the sea of ​​hearts, and Hu Cao's firm and serious words of praise hit the shore of the heart like waves, so that the two young heroes who had received persecution education since childhood were dizzy almost.

Until an obese female chef in a snow-white shirt and a snow-white top hat personally brought out two cups of stew from the back kitchen, put them in front of Liu Yu and Wei Mian under the envious eyes of everyone, and smiled He said to the rest of the people: "Master Mi sent it, it's not for you."

Liu Yu knew that he shouldn't cry, and panted hard to calm himself down, he knew that this reward was not worth a tear, it was nothing more than a cup of white fungus and lotus seed soup, which he used to eat at home, it was nothing precious things.

However, after this thing was mixed with the envious eyes of his colleagues and the raised hand salute, Liu Yu's tears still poured out like a flood that opened the gate. With tears in his eyes, Liu Yu saw Wei Mian's state at this time, Not much better than him, tears flowed down like a waterfall.

After Yun Chu heard Master Mi's report, he was not surprised by such a thing.

Encouraging education is only available in Wannian County and Chang'an County.

There would never be such a thing in the society of the Tang Dynasty, which paid attention to monarchs, ministers and ministers, and fathers and sons.

The young people in Datang received either stick education or harsh setback education since childhood. These poor children did a good job and could not get a compliment from their father. It is said that this was done to prevent children from being complacent.

As for doing something wrong, there is nothing to greet them except all kinds of perverted punishments. The more children are valued by their fathers, the less favorable they will be from their fathers.

Rock-solid gentleness, in the deliberate praise of Yunchu, Di Renjie, and Zhong Kui, they can't tell the difference between the south, the east, and the north, let alone Liu Yu, Wei Mian and others.

Recalling that Gentle controlled his emotions, he told Yunchu with sobs that he, a child from a wealthy family, was hungry more times when he was a child than Yunchu, a savage, who would believe it.

As for Di Renjie, after Yunchu explained what encouragement education was, he also habitually touched his fat buttocks, and he naturally thought of the whip called family law in his mind.

That is to say, Yunchu only wanted to cultivate a group of officials from the Chang'an department, and he didn't want to compete with Li Jingxuan and Wei Dongcheng for his son-in-law and son. Otherwise, Yunchu, who is well versed in human nature, would definitely let Li Jingxuan and Wei Dongcheng have two rebellious sons in their family.
