Chapter 311 Loyal ministers never make choices
The Yun family also has a lot of cotton.

All from Bashang.

Liu Yi was too arrogant and was sent by Yunchu to grow cotton in Bashang. As long as there were no important matters at home, he could only stay in Bashang to watch cotton.

Now that the cotton has all been taken back, he can only return home after it is handed over to Mrs. Cui in the small workshop in Qujiangfang.

Very good. After staying in Bashang for more than half a year, I finally learned to be restrained and low-key. Now, the whole person is very peaceful and laughs at everyone. According to the gentle evaluation, this person now has half the demeanor of his housekeeper .

In fact, the most instructive person to the stewards of Chang'an Xungui's family is none other than Yunchu.

Ever since he chopped off the head of the housekeeper of Qiu Xinggong's family, the housekeepers of the noble family have been educated collectively.

The Yun family’s cotton was never intended to be spun into cotton cloth, but was still made into quilts, cotton mattresses, cushions, futons, and Cui’s even began to try to use cotton cushions to decorate the carriage. According to Cui, it can well isolate the noise from the outside , and will not damage the owner's body due to sudden bumps.

It's ridiculous to say, but Pingkangfang has the greatest demand for these cotton products produced by Yun's family. Yunchu has to admit that the entertainment industry is basically the first to use new things that appear in any era.

The entertainment industry is always an industry that seeks innovation, change, and curiosity. Their acceptance of new things far exceeds that of the old-fashioned nobles, wealthy families, and poor people.

What Liu Rengui is doing now is very embarrassing.

Not to mention a lot of chickens in his family, there are two huge earthworm ponds, and the stench in Tangtang’s family is stinking all day long. It is rumored that his chickens jumped on the stove to peck at Mrs. Dinner left for Liu Rengui.

However, even the well-informed Yun Chu had to admit that Liu Rengui's family really had a lot of chickens.

In other words, Liu Rengui's house is now a huge chicken coop.

There are chickens everywhere on walls, trees, and roofs. Whenever Liu Rengui asked his servants to dig out earthworms, chop them up and mix them with rice bran to feed the chickens, their chickens would fly out from all over the place. Clouds cover the sun.

Yunchu, Wenrou, and Di Renjie were stunned, while Liu Rengui was so mesmerized that he couldn't help himself.

"I only rely on a small amount of rice bran and earthworms to achieve this great achievement in half a year. What do you three think?"

Yun Chu looked at the green official robes of the three of them, and the white ivory wat boards on their waists, and felt that something was not right about what happened today.

The officials in red official robes bravely rushed into the flock of chickens, caught a chicken with bare hands, grabbed the chicken's two feet with one hand, let the unlucky chicken flop around, held it up in front of the three people and said: "Five!" Ten cents!"

Gentle and terrified, he used the wat board to protect his face and backed away again and again, he really couldn't understand, Liu Rengui solemnly invited the three of them to drink at his house today, but saw a large group of chickens.

Among the three, only Yunchu understood Liu Rengui's thoughts better, so he grabbed the chicken with a smile, figured out how fat it was, and said to Liu Rengui in surprise, "This little chicken is very fat."

Liu Rengui stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "The old man asked the steward of the Guangfufang Canteen to come to see it at home, and estimated the price of the 260 chickens. The canteen is willing to buy them at a price of fifty cents per chicken.

Two hundred and six chickens are thirteen pennies.

Yunchu, what do you think of the old man promoting such good governance in the countryside of Chang'an County? "

Yun Chu sighed and said, "If there are many hens in these chickens, you can temporarily stop selling them, let these hens lay eggs exclusively, sell the eggs, and then sell the chickens after the hens stop laying eggs, and your income will be even higher. .

But first let me say that you want to expand the scope of raising chickens. Don’t drag me into Wannian County. I’m worried that after the people are bewitched to raise chickens, there will be a sudden outbreak of chicken plague. By then, not only the chickens may die, but they may also hang themselves. people. "

The enthusiasm on Liu Rengui's face decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, he took the chicken from Yunchu's hand and threw it away, sighed and said: "The old man is still a little too anxious.

Go in, Zhuo Jing has already prepared the food and drink, Liu Rengui dislikes banquets the most in his life, but Zhuo Jing must thank you for supporting the old man's two naughty sons, there is no other way, let's just let it go. "

Entering the atrium of Liu Rengui's house, there are no chickens here, but there are many vegetables planted in the original garden.

Originally, the owner's house made a banquet table under the corridor, which looked pretty good, very rich, mainly chicken.

Di Renjie's eyes kept scanning Liu Rengui's home. He really wanted to find evidence of Liu Rengui's treachery and loyalty from the current furnishings. Unfortunately, he failed. Although everything here was old, it was neatly arranged, which shows that Well, Liu Rengui's family usually looks like this.

Even when she came to the atrium, Rou Rou still felt that there was a faint smell in Liu Rengui's house.

Because Yunchu has come here more times, he has already gotten used to it.

Liu Rengui is not a person who can be bribed or win over with emotion. He is an extremely orthodox Confucian gentleman with his own pursuit.

With Di Renjie and Wen Rou around, Liu Rengui basically didn't discuss business matters with Yun Chu, but just kept persuading him to drink.

Even if he was talking, he was just talking about some past experiences, and under Yun Chu's questioning, he had already told about his great achievements in resisting the Emperor Taizong back then.

After drinking and eating, Yun Chu, Di Renjie, and Rou Rou left Liu Rengui's house.

Yun Chu sat on the back of a bay red horse and asked Di Renjie, "Did you see anything?"

Di Renjie said: "Liu Rengui seems to be preparing for a long journey."

Gentle nodded and said: "Not only is he prepared for a long journey, he even took the initiative to isolate outsiders from visiting."

Yun Chu said: "You mean those chickens?"

Gentle nodded and said: "Liu Rengui came from a poor family, so it's not like he's a poor man who hasn't seen anything in the world.

His wife is not a peasant girl either, she made her house smelly, which is not in line with Liu Rengui's background, nor is it in line with his wife's behavior.

I even thought that today's banquet was a farewell banquet for him to bid farewell to you. "

Yunchu raised his head to look at Yuanshan, which was gradually turning autumnal, and said, "Goguryeo, he once told me a few days ago that if you don't enter Goguryeo in this life, you will be a minister in vain."

Gentle shook her head and said: "If this matter is kept secret, then needless to say, Liu Rengui must have been sent to Beihai County to build a ship."

Di Renjie frowned and said, "Beihai is not a good place, especially for things like shipbuilding.

Back then, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built ships in Beihai County to attack Goguryeo, which caused maggots to grow from the waist down on the shipbuilders, and finally produced people like Wang Bo.

Shipbuilding is a pain in the chests of the people in Hebei and Shandong, and it is an intangible pain.

If Liu Rengui takes the order to supervise the construction of warships this time, I believe that he will not be able to have smooth sailing. "

Gentle said again: "Many people know about His Majesty's plan to attack Goguryeo, but if you want to attack Goguryeo, land is one aspect, but sea battles are also one aspect.

Your Majesty has long been looking for ministers who can supervise the building of ships. As far as I know, since Emperor Taizong's conquest of Goguryeo, a total of six people have gone to Beihai to supervise the building of warships. One person disappeared on the sea in a small boat.

Therefore, it is definitely not a good job to go to Beihai to build ships. The right time, place and people are almost the same as these three things, and failure is inevitable. "

Yun Chu sighed and said, "I once suggested to His Majesty that Liu Rengui be allowed to take over the cotton textile workshop, but in the end, His Majesty rejected it without even thinking about it.

It seems that Lao Liu has really received the worst job this time. You said that the six people in front of him have all failed. Why does he think he can do it? "

Rourou looked up to the sky and sighed: "This is the disadvantage of loyal ministers, because loyal ministers always only accept and do not make choices. We brothers must be careful in the future."

When he got home, Yunchu was still thinking about it. He didn't remember that there was a record in history that Liu Rengui supervised the construction of warships.

However, with him in Silla, Baekje showed great power and defeated the brilliant victory of the Japanese navy.

Yunchu vaguely felt that the performance of the cotton textile workshop might be too good, which changed Liu Rengui's original life trajectory.

Regarding this possibility, Yun Chu could only give a wry smile in return.

Yu Xiurong was very strange today, he didn't hug his own Mei Yu'er, nor Cai Yunniang, but Wu Meisheng's Yu Nuer.

This child looks very well-behaved today. Although the hair on his huge head is sparse, there is a sky-high braid, and he is wearing a gaudy flowered dress. This dress seems to be too small at first glance. It strangles this fat child like a silkworm. , section by section.

Yu Xiurong shook the child in front of Yunchu and said, "Is this floral dress pretty?"

Yun Chu curled his lips and said, "In the future, when you make clothes for your children, remember to make them fit well. Our family doesn't lack that kind of clothes."

As soon as Yun Chu finished speaking, the nanny who was in charge of taking care of the child began to totter, as if she would faint if she was stimulated a little more.

Yu Xiurong said: "The empress made this for her daughter, what nonsense is your husband talking about?"

Yun Chu frowned and unbuttoned the child's neck. The collar was obviously too small, so he strangled the child and gasped for breath, and even asked whether it looked good or not.

The next time the female official comes again, you can pack a dress suitable for the child and let her take it home. If the queen misses her daughter, you can make it according to the size of the dress. "

As Yun Chu spoke, he took off the flowery clothes on the child and handed them over to the wet nurse to take care of them. Anyway, this is Wu Mei's rare display of maternal love, and it is indeed worth cherishing.
