Chapter 52 The Requirements of Day and Night Are Different
Yun Chu used to have the habit of reading official documents and local newspapers, because as long as he was careful enough, he could see the political ecology and cultural relations of a place from these official documents and documents.
This is a kind of political aesthetics, which tests the reader's strong ability to discover, summarize, conclude, and think.
In various government offices, this ability has become a daily ability.
Observing a person, or many people, is Yun Chu's professional habit. Just like his chemistry teacher told him, everyone is not static, and you have to use a dynamic mindset to look at a living person.
Just like chemical reactions, without the catalyst of time, there would be no chemistry.
Don't make enemies, don't make enemies, don't make enemies!
This is what the teacher repeatedly warned him.
Even if you are a piece of gold, as long as a rag covers you, you will have no room to shine.
Of course, when Teacher Liu said the above words, he was stuffing burning magnesium into a glass bottle filled with oxygen. At that time, the magnesium burned fiercely in oxygen, as brilliant as fireworks.
Yun Chu is a smart kid, and he certainly understands the teacher's teachings. If you must make an enemy, you must use the shortest time and the most intense means to make the enemy disappear.
Once you feel that you may be threatened by someone, then you must be threatened by him. At this time, you must think carefully about whether these conflicts can be resolved peacefully. If not, you must deal with it decisively.
In general, Yun Chu's killing of Hou San is a concrete manifestation of the decisive application of this type of problem.
Hou San was dealt with, and things returned to the starting point. Maybe it was a little different, but it didn't matter. This was just the characteristic of the redox reaction.
Ding Dayou did not order to continue to leave, but ordered a Guoyi captain to take a hundred people and carry a few captured sand bandits away.
No one dared to question Ding Dayou's military order, so after seven or eight hundred people waited in the scorching desert for a whole day, the Guoyi captain came back with people. Not only did they come back, they also brought back a lot of war horses and camels.
It seems that this is the benefit from the sand bandit's lair.
When Yun Chu invited Ding Dayou to eat fried noodles with butter, Ding Dayou said, "You are also a member of Zhechongfu, and these captured spoils also have your share."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Tomorrow we will leave the desert and face the commander of Yumen Pass. I wonder if the captain has a good plan to deal with it?"
Ding Dayou sighed and said, "We are all comrades in the army. It is not impossible for us to share a share of our wealth with them.
I heard that the commander of Yumen Pass has a big appetite, and a little bit can't fill their stomachs. Since you are also in the army, you should know that there is no good Cheng in the army."
"The commander of Yumen Pass is named Cheng?"
"Yes, Cheng Yaojin's Cheng. Cheng Yaojin bit off a layer of Hou Junji's skin at Yumen Pass.
Then, the Cheng surname became the watchdog of Yumen Pass. They no longer bite gold, but start biting people. Even if they have a good relationship, they will bark at them a few times."
Ding Dayou's attitude is very negative. It seems that it is inevitable to be severely chopped when entering the city.
The old monkey seemed to not care about going to the city to pay taxes, or he had other ways to avoid it. No matter how Yun Chu asked, the old monkey always had a smiling face, which made people want to punch him on the nose.
At the end of the desert was the Gobi Desert. A thin black line appeared on the Gobi Desert. After two days of walking, the thin line turned into a rammed earth Great Wall. This should be the Han Great Wall.
It was very strange that the Gobi Desert was connected to the desert on one side of the Great Wall, while the grassland was connected to the forest on the other side of the Great Wall.
Yun Chu and his party came to Yumen Pass from Gaochang and Yiwu. If they took the road of Yutian and Shanshan, they would face Yangguan directly.
Overall, there would not be much difference, because both Yumen Pass and Yangguan were under the jurisdiction of Yumen Duwei Mansion.
The ox cart with wheels reinstalled creaked and moved in the ancient ruts. It was amazing. Judging from the traces of the ruts, almost all the carriage ruts were basically the same.
As soon as he saw the tall rammed earth tower of Yumen Pass, Yun Chu was shocked by the number of people who wanted to enter the pass.
Because, outside Yumen Pass, the Hu people had spontaneously formed a small town.
Although this town looks very shabby, it is definitely more prosperous than Qiuci.
The town is full of camels, Hu merchants, and beautiful Hu girls posing, and the goods are piled up like mountains.
Seeing that the sun was setting, Ding Dayou ordered to find a place outside the town where there was not much livestock feces to camp and prepare to enter Yumen Pass tomorrow.
Yun Chu had nothing to do, so he took Naha to see how the guards of Yumen Pass checked the Hu merchants.
As a result, Yun Chu was very familiar with the scene he saw, all kinds of difficulties, all kinds of harshness, all kinds of insults, and all kinds of beatings.
Except for insults and beatings, which were not common in Yunchu's previous world, the rest was almost the same. It can be seen that even after more than 1,300 years, the government's style has not improved much.
There are some changes. At least, in Yunchu's previous world, no one dared to put their hands into Hu Ji's arms or measure her figure under her skirt.
Seeing the familiar scenes, Yunchu smiled immediately and began to check the Tang people doing business at the city gate.
Soon, Yunchu spotted a middle-aged man with a goatee sitting under the awning and dozing off.
This is a seller of rice cakes. The rice cakes are made of yellow rice, covered with a thick layer of dates, and covered with gauze. The food looks clean and delicious, but no one goes in to buy it.
Yun Chu looked at the soap boots on the middle-aged man's feet, then lowered his head to look at the soap boots on his own feet. He lifted up his green shirt and stuffed it into his belt, deliberately exposing the soap boots, and led Naha straight away. Steamed cake stall.
As soon as he came to the steamer cake stall, the middle-aged man with the goatee opened his eyes. He first looked Yun Chu up and down. Yun Chu's too young face and green shirt made the middle-aged man with the goatee stunned for a moment. Immediately, he saw Yun Chu again. As soon as he put on the soap boots for the first time, he handed over his hands suspiciously: "I don't know..."
Yun Chu bowed his hands and returned the greeting: "I am the chief physician of Zhechong Mansion in Xia Shangzhou. My surname is Yun Chu."
When Goatee heard that Yun Chu reported the name of Zhechong Mansion in Shangzhou, his expression immediately changed, and he waved his hand and said, "Since it's an official's house, just go straight to the main entrance."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "My sister-in-law has never tasted steamed cakes. Please ask sir to sell some steamed cakes for her to try."
Goatee looked at Naha who was drooling and shook his head: "Is this your sister?"
Yun Chu nodded and said, "Dear."
Hearing what Yunchu said, Goatee's eyes immediately changed when he looked at Naha as if he were looking at goods. He quickly cut a piece of steamer cake and handed it to Yunchu and said, "I didn't know she was a little girl from our official family. I'm rude."
Yun Chu waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. A certain family also wants to ask sir, how many steamer cakes can I buy to let one of my camel teams enter Yumen Pass?"
Goatee smiled and said: "My rice steamer cake is mainly made from the yellow rice produced in Chang'an Longshouyuan Shanghaotiandi, and the jujubes from Li's jujube garden in Leyouyuan. After careful selection, it is brought to Yuchi The glutinous rice produced by my family is cooked with melted water from the snow mountains. My husband wants this steamer cake, which is of great value. "
Yun Chu smiled and said: "There is no reason to sell good things cheaply. If nothing else, Cheng's yellow rice, Li's jujubes, and Yuchi's glutinous rice are enough to be respected.
Sir, please give me a number and see if I can make up the number. "
Goatee was very satisfied with Yun Chu's performance of understanding love and interest, so he tapped the broken table with his finger and said, "How many camels are there?"
Yun Chu calculated in his mind for a moment and said: "Except for some pack horses that have to go through the main entrance of Zhe Chong Mansion, there are less than 500 pack camels taking Lang Jun's route."
Goatee was startled, looked up at Yun Chu and said, "What did you bring? Why are there so many?"
Yunchu sighed and said: "When Shangzhou Zhechong Mansion came out, there were more than 1,500 soldiers. There was a bloody battle in Qiuci, and less than 700 soldiers returned. My captain didn't know how to return to Shangzhou to see his elders. Folks, I had no other choice, so I collected some goods that were not valuable in the Western Regions but were still valuable in Chang'an, and sold them in Chang'an to compensate the poor orphans and widows.
Lang Jun also knows that the soldiers who died in battle are not worth a good donkey. Please give us a way to survive for the sake of those orphans and widows. "
The middle-aged man with a goatee frowned, and after a moment he said to Yun Chu, "I'll come as soon as I go." After that, he hurried past the people in line and went straight into Yumen Pass.
Naha had finished eating the rice cake in her hand and continued to look at the large piece of rice cake. Yun Chu was not polite and used the knife left behind from his goatee to pick up the thick part of the date and cut another large piece for Naha. Wrap it in reed leaves and continue eating.
He also ate a piece of Lao Da. Generally speaking, the rice cake made by Goat Beard tasted really good.
Goatee never came back, Naha always wanted to eat steamed cakes, and Yunchu also wanted to eat steamed cakes, so he ate them while waiting.
Unknowingly, the brother and sister ate up a bowl full of rice cakes.
When Goatee returned, it was already an hour later, and he was not surprised at all that the Yunchu brothers and sisters had eaten up all his steamed cakes. Everyone who came back from the Western Regions loved eating his snacks.
"For the sake of the soldiers who died in battle, five hundred gold!"
Yun Chu was still very satisfied with the price. Five hundred taels of gold could bring all the camel teams into Yumen Pass and avoid censorship. It seemed that the Yumen Captain's Mansion really took good care of the soldiers who died in the battle.
After making an appointment to go to the city at the second watch, Yunchu took Naha, whose stomach was bulging from eating, back to the camp.
"A certain family heard that the Cheng family was impartial and unfaithful at Yumen Pass." Ding Dayou was very suspicious of the customs clearance news brought by Yunchu.
Yun Chu smiled and said: "No one in this world can be completely impartial and unfaithful, not even His Majesty. Once the ministers truly achieve the above eight words, I am afraid that even the dogs in Chang'an will not be willing to come near their home." .
And I heard that the Cheng family is also the home of Zhongmingdingshi in Chang'an. As long as we find the right way, we can naturally transport 500 camels into Yumen Pass with 500 gold. "
"However, the Cheng family was really selfless at Yumen Pass. In recent years, everyone who entered through Yumen Pass has complained."
Yun Chu sniffed and said: "In the daytime, Yumenguan is dedicated to the country and is upright. At night, Yumenguan is dedicated to selfishness and is considerate of humanity.
Only a person who combines integrity with consideration for others can be a good official or a high official.
Both are indispensable. "
The requirements of the night are different
