Chapter 1169 The Most Correct Way of Education
Facts have proved that large-scale armed robbery is the fastest way to make money.
Especially after handing over the stolen goods to the merchants in Chang'an who know the true value of the goods, the profit will be even more lucrative.
One string of money is one thousand solid yellow copper coins, all of which are new coins from the Qianjian, one of the five offices and three supervisors under the Shaofu Supervisor. The Qianjian has two mints in Guanzhong, one in Bingzhou and one in Fufeng. The copper coins from the Bingzhou Mint are of the best quality, and eight hundred coins can be used as one thousand coins.
Since Yun Chu is going to award the soldiers, he naturally has to use the best. The money distributed to the soldiers this time basically all comes from the Bingzhou Mint.
One string of money weighs six pounds and four ounces. The soldiers who went on the expedition received an average of eleven strings and three hundred coins. It is not a small amount and the weight is solid. However, this amount of money is only enough to buy a three-year-old ox in Chang'an.
This is because Chang'an is the most prosperous place in the world. It is rare to see oxen sold by the government elsewhere. No one cares about it in Chang'an. As long as you have money, you can buy as many as you want. Even so, the price of twelve strings of cash for a cow still makes many people daunted.
However, there are still many soldiers waiting to buy cows after receiving the reward money.
Oxen are different from yaks that Yun often cooks in the pot. In the Tang Dynasty, the importance of oxen in farmers is almost equal to the population, or even more than that. After all, in the past, marrying a wife with three or five strings of cash was already a daughter of a good family.
Nowadays, life in Guanzhong is better, and the betrothal gifts have become expensive. A man has to buy a house and furniture for a marriage, plus the betrothal gifts, and there is basically nothing left after ten strings of cash.
Therefore, it is now popular for people in Guanzhong to buy wives.
Of course, the first-class ones are naturally Tang people, but buying and selling Tang people will make local officials lose face. Unless you can meet an official seller, otherwise, the risk of buying and selling Tang people privately is very high. Once the newly bought wife runs away, the government will not help you, nor will it recognize such a marriage.
The second-class ones are naturally the famous Silla women. Silla women can speak Tang language, and their customs are the same as those of the Tang Dynasty. The beautiful ones have long been bought by dignitaries, and the common people have nothing to do with them. However, those with average looks are more numerous, so they are related to ordinary people.
Unfortunately, the current Silla women are not pure. Those damn human traffickers often use Goryeo maids and Baekje maids to impersonate them. If you accidentally buy a Japanese slave, you can anger the buyer to death.
Qiang people and Bai people are also OK. The main thing is that they are easy to feed and can work, but it is a bit embarrassing to use them as the main wife.
The Bodhisattva Barbarians in the Western Regions have nothing to do with ordinary people. Just take a look and think they are beautiful.
If you don't use them as wives, but just buy labor, then Japanese slaves are the best. Although they are small, they are really strong.
Spend the money of a cow to buy three Japanese slaves, and they can still plow the land.
This expedition to the southwest was a fierce battle, and it was a crushing one. In addition to the gold medals on their necks, the soldiers were able to get so much money, which was basically satisfactory.
Even the old soldiers who followed Yun Chu in the East and West Expeditions were somewhat sighing. After all, the southwest was a poor place. The general scraped the land of the southwest three feet deep, and the rewards they received were only half of the East Expedition and 70% of the West Expedition.
"This little money is only enough to build a few tiled houses."
I don't know which idiot was so disappointed that he even said what was in his heart, and then attracted everyone's attention.
The person who could say such unscrupulous words was an old soldier who had followed Yun Chu to fight everywhere. The people around him were all soldiers who followed Yun Chu to fight for the first time. When they learned that they could get so much money, they were so excited that they were about to burst. This money could buy cows, wives, laborers, and build houses. If they chose calves, they could buy uglier wives and build worse houses. All the major things in their lives would be done.
Are there any bastards who are not satisfied here?
The next time the commander goes to war, he should not bring these ungrateful people.
Without waiting for the money to be distributed, Yun Chu glanced at Yu Xiurong from a distance, and took the two crazy people who needed to go to Beijing to meet the emperor, as well as the officers, and stepped onto the Baqiao Bridge and headed straight to Luoyang.
Yun Jin and Li Si were anxious and took the six elephants home.
They knew that it was easy to pass the level of Aye, which was nothing more than a beating, but it was more troublesome with A Niang. A Niang's tears were more intolerable than Aye's whip.
Unexpectedly, after returning home, Yu Xiurong did not show them face, and was extremely gentle to them. When Yun Jin did not come back, Yu Xiurong felt that she could kill her son.
When she saw the dark and thin Yun Jin with her own eyes, she felt that it was her man Yun Chu who should be killed!
Seeing Li Si running in to help Yun Jin when he was taking a bath, Yu Xiurong sighed and wrote the memorial to ask for marriage that night, and sent it away at the fastest speed through the official post the next day.
In the past, when Yun Jin was a child, she took the maid to take a bath. Later, she became the old woman in Yun Jin's room. When Yun Jin was a little older, he did not want others to help him take a bath. Now, Li Si went in...
There is no reason for the affairs between men and women. Once you have a mind, it is like a wildfire burning your heart, especially after the young men and women have tasted the forbidden fruit, they can't wait to stick together all day long. In their hearts, there is nothing else except the affairs between men and women.
Yu Xiurong thought of the time when she and her husband first met for no reason, and then she said to Cui fiercely: "Back then, you old woman used the words of blessing from heaven, earth and man to scare me and my husband, but today, you didn't say a word."
Mrs. Cui smiled and said, "This is the same time as that. When the Yun Sect was founded, my wife and the head of the family must act in an upright manner. Now, it doesn't matter. There is room for correction of small deviations."
Hearing Li Si's laughter coming from the bathhouse in the distance, Yu Xiurong had no choice but to take Cui back to his house.
When Cui saw that there was no one around, she whispered to Yu Xiurong: "In the past three months, the price of food has risen six times, but the government has brought a large amount of food from Dali Chaoyi warehouse to level it off.
Shopkeeper Zeng of Liushui Brand said that the price of grains on Liushui Brand is still rising secretly. It will rise by three cents, then drop by two cents, and then rise by one penny. After one and a half months, the price of bulk grains on Chang'an Liushui Brand has actually increased. Increased by 60%.
It's just that the price of food in Chang'an has not changed. From the current situation, it can be said that the affordable food that the people of Chang'an eat is actually a bargain obtained by the Chang'an government's use of authority to forcibly restrict it.
However, within two months at most, that is, by the end of October, the large quantities of grain listed on the Liushui brand should be cashed in. By that time, it is a foregone conclusion that the price of grain will have doubled.
The head of the family told King Yong and others today that they are preparing to provide relief to the victims, which will inevitably require a large amount of food. Since Guanzhong itself is a disaster area, if the head of the family is prepared to deliver food receipts to the counterparty, I am afraid that he will have to spend three times the amount of funds in order to operate. . "
When Yu Xiurong heard this, he sighed and said, "The family just got a little money..."
Ms. Cui shook his head and said: "You don't need to take money from your family. Our family has a large position in Liushui Brand. Not only us, but Master Wen and Master Di's family's positions in Liushui Brand have also reached the highest point in two years and can be harvested." .
At that time, there will be a lot of money coming in. The old slave just wants to ask Madam, do you want to pay back the two million yuan from Da Ci'en Temple? "
Yu Xiurong sighed and said: "Our family still owes Da Ci'en Temple Xiangji Kitchen a total of two hundred and forty-three-seven thousand six hundred yuan. You always keep the amount of money that our family owes to others for no reason. This is not good." ”
Cui smiled and said: "This is Cai Yun'er's idea. Every time she meets Master Xuanzang, she will say a number, and the number gets smaller every time. Master Xuanzang always says good, good, good... Anyway, they are all monks. If you can afford to pay back less money from the temple, the money will be used to buy food to provide relief to the victims. It is the same whether we pay it or the monks pay it. Master Xuanzang has already agreed."
Yu Xiurong looked at Cui's rogue appearance and said: "You can't bully Master Xuanzang like this. If you have the ability, tell Master Piaoji this and see if he will spit in your face."
Ms. Cui smiled bitterly and said, "It's unjust for Mr. Yun to bear the huge debt to save Liushui Brand. This should be the national debt of the Tang Dynasty."
Yu Xiurong smiled and said: "If it is the National Debt of the Tang Dynasty, why should we control the Liushui brand?"
Mrs. Cui nodded and fell silent.
"Mother." Yun Jin walked over quickly from outside with a hint of shame on her face. Yu Xiurong pretended not to notice and just said softly: "Sixteen years of upbringing has been ruined in one day."
Li Si, who came in later, wanted to get close to Yu Xiurong as before, but was forced back by Yu Xiurong's cold gaze.
"I have already submitted the marriage proposal, please wait."
Li Si bit her lip and said, "It's my fault."
Yu Xiurong said to Yun Jin: "Aniang has prepared the best house in Chang'an for you on the left side of Zhuque Street. The house is small and cramped, so you can live more spaciously there."
Yun Jin knelt down in front of Yu Xiurong with a pop and said, "I know I'm wrong, kid."
Yu Xiurong stood up slowly, raised his hand and slapped Yun Jin on the face. Before Yun Jin could react, a piece of light yellow thorn slipped out of his sleeve, he picked up the thorn and slapped it down shamelessly.
Li Si screamed and lay on top of Yun Jin. She expected that Yu Xiurong didn't care who she slapped. Anyway, if she didn't express her feelings today, she would feel sorry for the ancestors of the Yun family.
Are you trying to reason with Yun Jin and Li Si?
The two of them have read more books than Yu Xiurong has read in the past few years. They study all the big principles all day long. If you tell them a truth, these two bastards will have a hundred truths waiting to tell her. .
Today, the house is clean. Naha, who loves Yun Jin the most, was sent to the Wannian County dungeon by Yu Xiurong. Cui Yao, Yun Jin, Yun Luan, and Yun Guan were all sent away, leaving behind an empty house, just waiting. Teach those two bastards Yun Jin and Li Si a lesson.
Reasoning with the Yun family is just asking for trouble. Under normal circumstances, it is the Yun family who is trying to reason with others.
Therefore, if the Yun family wanted to correct their mistakes, Huang Jingtiao was the most effective way.
Although he is not as wealthy and grand as a big family, and is as vulgar as the lower-class people, this kind of education is the most correct way to educate the Yun family.
I can’t stay in Hainan anymore and will return to Gansu tomorrow.
