What Pei Xingjian did is very consistent with his status as a Tang Dynasty person - grabbing market share is already the best way he can think of as a scholar-official to enrich Chang'an County. Until now, Pei Xingjian still stubbornly believes that the amount of money is constant, and it only depends on who has the ability to take more. He even secretly believed that as long as Chang'an County took away more, Wannian County would take away less. Chang'an County, where the West Market is located, is the largest trading market in Chang'an City. Both Hu people and merchants from the Tang Dynasty will regard the West Market as a distribution center for goods. The East City is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County. The biggest difference between this place and the West City is that the levels of customers are different. Therefore, most of the goods here are closely related to luxury goods. Ordinary people do not come to the East Market to buy things, because even the same thing is more than 20% more expensive in the East Market than in the West Market. Because of the packaging of goods and store decoration, the East Market is more luxurious than the West Market. People with status like to come here to shop quietly and enjoy the services that come with shopping. They will accept that it is more expensive. He has no identity and no money and still comes to Dongshi to buy things. He has always been one of the three fools rumored in Chang'an City. Even if the goods in the East Market are expensive and the customers are rich, it is obviously unfair to compare the transaction volume of a businessman selling luxury goods with a businessman selling bulk goods related to people's livelihood. Merchants who sell luxury goods can be very famous. As for sales volume, anyone who compares with bulk goods merchants is a fool.
The main reason why Yunchu had to become Shanwannian County Captain was that the small Qujiang River could no longer support the commercial prosperity of Jinchangfang.
Originally, in Yunchu's idea, Qujiangli produced grain, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, which were supplied to the big canteen, and then the big canteen fed money back to Qujiangli, forming a perfect closed business loop.
It's a pity that Qujiangli can't bear it. Not to mention food, even the supply of pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese is far from enough.
The reason why Yun Chu went to Sinong Temple was to check if there were any good things in Sinong Temple that they had overlooked.
but. This possibility is not very likely. In an era when a broken spinach vegetable can earn a title, any individual will understand the importance of food.
Sinong Temple is inside the imperial city. This time, there are not so many scholars taking exams, and Yunchu can ride a bay-red horse into the imperial city.
Looking at the low-level officials who had to hold up their signs to enter the imperial city, people like Yun Chu who rode straight into the imperial city on horseback were definitely the ones they needed to look up to.
"Look, two years ago, we were guarding the imperial city together, waiting for the Jinwu Guards to search their crotches before entering. Now, the door is open to others. Look at those Jinwu Guards, who are so bent that their waists are almost broken. ”
"It's better to stop talking about this rumor. The two white bones hanging on the lotus pond in Dongshi are people of your status."
"Speaking of bones, I heard that Yun County Lieutenant was actually worried that the bones of the corpse would fall off, so he used iron bars to connect the various parts of the bones together, just to shock people."
"What are you talking about in Chang'an County and Wannian County? The officials serving in these two places are more cruel than the last. I heard that Chang'an County is also conducting a thorough investigation now. Let's check the account books from three years ago. County Magistrate Pei He’s not a forgiving person either. Just look at it, as long as you find out the moths, there will probably be a few hanging by the ditch in the West Market.”
"In my opinion, people who have come down from the army, especially those who can move freely among millions of troops, should not serve as local officials. They have no other way to govern a place except killing people. If you don’t believe it, look at Mr. Han from Linyuan County, Qizhou. He rides a donkey to read and go into the mountains. When he gets there, he will be worshiped by local bandits. The banditry that has plagued Linyuan County for decades is one day. The time is eliminated. If you ask me, this is the real magistrate... The government office is a place where everyone eats and works, so why make it look like the underworld."
Yun Chu had long been used to these words. When Guan was a child, he could stand with everyone and curse and comment on Shangguan. Now that I am a Shangguan, I see things from a different angle, and the position under my butt is also different, so naturally I can no longer talk nonsense with them. Yun Chu also knew about the Han Gong they were talking about. He didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, but he actually rode a donkey into the mountains to recruit the bandits. As a result, he was tied up in the mountains by the bandits for six full days. I heard Wen Wen said that after his family redeemed him with money, he breathed more than a dead person.
I don’t know how it was spread, but it turned into a romantic story belonging to the literati.
Sinong Temple is located on Chengtianmen Street. In front are You Wuwei and You Xiaowei, and behind you are You Lingjunwei and Youweiwei. The reason why there are military camps in front and behind is that there is a farmland belonging to the boss in Sinong Temple. Sinong Temple is a large yamen, with one Qing and one Shaoqing each as the second chief. The subordinate officials include five chief ministers and chief bookkeepers, recorders, etc., who are in charge of Taicang, Diannong, Pingzhun, Linshi, Goudun, and Hua Lin, Shanglin, Daoguan and other departments.
Yun Chu really wanted to meet the most powerful brother-in-law of the Founder of the Western Regions, who was the minister of Sinong Temple. Unfortunately, he was a real third-rank official. If Yun Chu, a seventh-rank official, wanted to meet him, he had to submit a post half a month in advance, and then Depending on the mood of the elder, you can choose to see him or not.
Fortunately, the people we were dealing with this time were officials from the Forestry Department. Everyone was a seventh-grade official, so it was easy to deal with. The boss of the forestry department is a guy named Lin Ziping. He looks as dark as a real farmer. This guy's skin is shiny black and shiny. He is so black that he was not included in the song about who is darker. Poetry is really the author's lack of rigor.
"Don't blame Yunxian Lieutenant. Brother Yu just came back from Lingnan. The tired people in the Shanglin Department fell off their horses, and three people died of dysentery. The funerals were not properly arranged. Now everything in the Shanglin Department is so confusing that there is no clue. If you want to handle official business, you have to come back two months later from Laoyun County Lieutenant."
Yun Chu cupped his fists and saluted, "Oh my, I didn't expect Brother Lin to have just returned from Lingnan. It's hard work, hard work, but I'm not sensible. I'm so sorry for coming here to trouble you at this time. But I don't know why, I need my brother to leave." A visit to Lingnan?"
"A doctor of agriculture from the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion wrote a letter saying that a kind of rice that can be harvested twice or even three times a year has been discovered in Jiaozhou. No, after an edict, Brother Yu brought seventeen people to the Forestry Department. The doctor walked for half a year to Jiaozhou, and then walked for half a year from Jiaozhou and back again."
Yun Chu frowned and said, "My little brother once heard from Pao Ze, a soldier in the army who returned from Annan, that the rice there is all wild rice. The savages in Annan are stupid. They harvest rice when they see it. There has never been such a thing as planting rice."
Lin Ziping smiled bitterly and said: "It's true. Rice is just a weed in other people's homes. No one eats the mature rice, so it rots in the ground. Then it sprouts and continues to grow rice. Isn't it ripe three times a year? Not only It's not just rice, but there are also strange trees growing there. There are endless fruits on the trees. The fruit trees bloom, bear fruit, and mature at the same time. When you finish eating the ripe fruits, the fruits are growing. It is ripe again. After repeated repetitions, the rice is really nothing.
There is also a kind of fruit tree with extremely large leaves. There are fruits as big as a human head. They hang on the tree. If you cut them down, open them and drink. There will be cool syrup inside. After drinking the syrup, there will be white juice. The pulp can satisfy hunger. Damn it, if I lived there, I wouldn't plant crops. The county captain also knows that growing crops is never an easy job. This is how different people have different lives. A large group of people who know poetry, etiquette, and etiquette have to work hard to grow food here, but over there a group of monkey-like people are not even as good as weeds. "
It was obvious that the man in front of him was really tortured by the climate in Lingnan and was already going crazy. A group of eighteen people went, but only fifteen came back. It seemed that this man was risking his life on this official trip.
Yunchu had also been to Jiaozhou back then, but the way he went to Jiaozhou was completely different from the way the old man in front of him went to Jiaozhou. He would arrive as soon as he got up after sleeping, and after returning to the inn to rest for a while, he would immediately have a sumptuous meal on land and water, and even more There are unique styles of Jiaozhou women singing and dancing to welcome you. But, there is still a big difference. This man can do whatever he wants in Jiaozhou and take whatever he likes from home. Even killing people is commonplace. Unlike when he went to Jiaozhou, he would be detained and fined for taking even a piece of volcanic stone. "I wonder if this Jiaozhou double-cropping rice can be planted near Chang'an?" Yun Chu thought for a moment and asked carefully.
Lin Ziping asked in surprise: "The county captain wants to plant double-cropping rice in Wannian County?"
Yun Chu nodded and said: "I know that the heat near Chang'an may not be enough throughout the year. Will it not mature if I plant it here?"
Lin Ziping laughed and said: "As long as you raise seedlings in a greenhouse, you can actually plant two seasons in Chang'an in five months."
"Warming sheds to raise rice seedlings? You mean there was a warm shed to raise rice seedlings in the Tang Dynasty?" After hearing Lin Ziping's words, Yunchu almost jumped up in surprise. He always thought that this skill was his exclusive secret. "There's one in Shanglinyuan." "Can I take a look?"
"What's wrong? It's just that Brother Yu has to rush to his colleague's home to express condolences. I can't accompany you there. I have my Shanglinyuan waistband here, and the county captain can go by himself." This is a good person who has met the solid eye. Yun Chu is here When I received the sign from others, I naturally handed it to others indicating that I could eat whatever I wanted in the cafeteria.
This is called reciprocity.
This is good. Yun Chu knows the meaning of entering Shanglin Garden, and Lin Ziping also knows the meaning of taking his colleagues to the big cafeteria to eat and drink.
"Gene Era"
Naturally, we are reluctant to leave when we say goodbye.
At this time, Lin Ziping was thinking about how to bring more people to the cafeteria to have a delicious meal. But Yunchu was thinking whether he could drive the carriage into Shanglin Garden tomorrow and clean up all the good things inside. A true best of both worlds.
