A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 478 Yun Dingxing Is Still Alive
Kang Po, who was wearing a dark green round-neck gown, came to pay a visit to Duke Yi's mansion.

A young man with a bearded face led him to the front hall, Po Kang looked up at the golden plaque with four large gold characters on it, Jane is in the heart of the emperor.

It is well known in Chang'an that the emperor bestowed the title Emperor Xin.

Countless people are lamenting this title, which is neither an official nor a noble, but some people say that these two words can reach the first rank.

In the past, there was Fang's plot to stop the decision, but now there is the emperor's heart, Wu Huaiyu.

Well, there is also a personal mirror Wei Zheng.

Po Kang, who had been in the ups and downs of the business world for half her life, was full of emotion when she saw this plaque. The 20-year-old Yi Guogong not only worships the prime minister and manages finances, but now he is also bestowed with the title of emperor.

This is the treatment that even the eldest grandson Wuji of the country does not have.

Now Wu Huaiyu's popularity can be described as very strong. Some people say that he is one of the ministers most favored by saints in the Zhenguan Dynasty.

Kang Po is glad that she has found a good backer. The only thing that makes him feel uneasy is that this Yi Guogong is not indifferent to him. Rebuke, until now, when he first came to worship, Yi Guogong bought him eight water mills and a manor, which still cost money.

This made Kang Po uneasy, feeling that Yi Guogong didn't take a fancy to him, he was a mere businessman, although he used to be a well-known rich man in Hebei, but he followed Pei Ji for many years, and now that Pei Ji has fallen, he is also very dangerous.

"Mr. Kang?"

Yu Wencheng called him, "Please wait here for a while, Mr. Wang will come later."

Kang Po came back to her senses, smiled at the boy, and immediately stuffed a gold cake into the boy's hand. The gold cake was twelve taels, worth [-] yuan.

But to Po Kang's surprise, the young man didn't even look at the heavy gold, but directly stuffed it back into his hand, and glared at each other, "What is Mr. Kang trying to do?"

"It's nothing, just a little money for tea."

"Could it be that Mr. Kang thought that I was born as a barbarian, and that I was so humble that I could betray my master for money?"

"It doesn't make sense..."

The methods that were invincible in the past were useless in front of this mountain beard boy.

He immediately took out another gold cake.

But the young man took two steps back, "I am Wu Xianggong's horse boy, and you bribed the prime minister's horse boy with a lot of money, it can be regarded as a conspiracy..."

Meeting such an idiot who doesn't care about oil and salt, Po Kang had no choice but to put away two pieces of gold, worth 16 yuan. In the south of the city, she could buy a two-acre small house, and then buy twenty acres of land outside the city. Wouldn't it be nice to marry another Hu girl?

Even with this money, wouldn't it be good to just redeem yourself as a good citizen?

Yu Wencheng let out a cold snort, turned his head and left.

Kang Po didn't expect that she would be despised by a horse boy, whether he was a wealthy businessman in Hebei before, or later became the chief steward of Prime Minister Pei Ji's financial management, this has never happened before.

But looking up at the plaque on the emperor's heart, Kang Po swallowed the contempt.

Yu Wencheng reported to Wu Huaiyu that Mrs. Kang was meeting in the front hall, and directly said that he had given him 20 taels of gold, but he confiscated it.

Wu Huaiyu was not surprised by this, businessmen always act like this.

"You boy, you don't even want 20 taels of gold, you know it's a lot of money,"

"The little one knows, but I can't charge him money."

"Okay, it's time to reward, what reward do you want?"

"It would be good if my husband gave me a piece of money."

"The newly minted gold Kaiyuan is only worth 16 renminbi. You gave up [-] renminbi, but you only want [-] renminbi?"

"That's different," Yu Wencheng, who was only 14 years old, said with a straight chest. Taking Kang Po's money, he thought it was a betrayal of the master, but the money rewarded by the master was different.

"Why do you want a coin?"

"I'm interested in a pair of gold-covered silver bracelets. It costs eight thousand dollars."

"Want to buy a pair of gold bracelets? Could it be that you have a girlfriend?"

Yuwen Chengdu, whose real name is Poyetou Xili, is from a small tribe in Yanzhou, Shuofang. There are only about forty people left in their tribe. Caochang, and this kid was 13 years old at the time, but he pretended to be fifteen, and came with a few tribesmen to select soldiers from the city, thinking of leading bows and arrows, and training to earn some rations in his free time.

At first Wu Huaiyu didn't accept him if he didn't meet the conditions, but Wu Huaiyu saw that the boy was young and good at riding and shooting, so he finally accepted it and recruited him as his entourage. He gave him two stones of millet a month, and also gave him three buckets of millet and one bucket of salt as a settling allowance. In the end, it was handed over to senior brother Su Lie to train for several months.

This boy Su Lie has always praised him as a good seedling, he stayed under Su Lie's hand for three months, when Huaiyu called him back, Su Lie was still very reluctant to return.

Although he is only Wu Huaiyu's stable boy now, like An Lushan, he is appreciated by Wu Huaiyu, he behaves very well, and he is being trained as a personal bodyguard.

The salary has also increased a lot. Now I pay three stones of millet a month, and another [-] yuan. The food, clothing and lodging are all covered, and I can also get the opportunity to study. I often have the opportunity to get Wu Huaiyu to give advice in person.

It's half a student.

"I like Jian Thirteen," Xili blushed a little.

"Is Jian Shisan older than you?"

"Three years older, but I don't care, isn't there an old saying among the Han people that female juniors hold gold bricks?"

"Jian Shisan knows if you like her, is she willing?"

Jian Shisan is the sword attendant of Fan Xuanfu's married sister Fan Wuniang. He is from Anlu. He is tall, good at martial arts, and not bad in looks.

Originally, the four sisters of the Fan family were thinking of these personal servants. After they got married, they had to arrange for them to serve in the house.

But Wu Huaiyu refused, not because he disliked them, but because of his limited energy, no matter how fierce a man is, he has already reached the limit of ten or twenty wives and concubines, and he can't take care of more domination.

No need to make these young girls feel bad later.

In particular, the four sisters have sixteen sword maidservants, not one or two, and they can't treat one more favorably than another, or simply don't accept them at all.

Yuwen Chengdu developed early, he is only fourteen now, but he is already tall, and his beard has grown. It is normal to start to know that he wants to chase girls.

But Jian Shisan seems to look down on him a little bit, firstly, he is three years younger than her, and secondly, this kid is a poor man after all, a miscellaneous beard who is despised by others.

But Yuwen Chengdu is quite patient, and he will chase after him if he doesn't like it. Anyway, he insists that Qingshan will not relax.

The last time I heard that Jian Shisan was visiting the West Market, he saw a pair of bracelets but didn't buy them because they were too expensive, so he wanted to buy them for the girl he loves.

"You have a lot of money every month, and you still have rewards. Haven't you saved any money?"

Chengdu replied that he sent all the money and food distributed to his family in Yanzhou. Their family has more than 40 members, many of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled. Raise sheep with peace of mind, but it is much more stable, and life is still relatively hard.

This kid is sensible, he knows how to send money back to help his family when he makes money, and he doesn't spend it recklessly at ordinary times, he neither eats wine nor goes shopping in Beiqu.

In my spare time, I either read books or practice archery on horseback.

"Since you like it, go after it boldly. Don't be discouraged if you are rejected for a while. You have to show your good side and impress her,"

Huaiyu patted this guy with a smile, "What about you, I treat you as a disciple, Thirteen is Wu Niang's personal maid, I'll tell Wu Niang later, let him help you get married, of course the main thing is It's up to you to do it yourself,"

"You will go to the cashier to get ten gold coins, and you have to give gifts to chase girls, and you have to spend the money. Of course, you have to tidy up yourself first, and go to tailor two new clothes and buy new hats. , remember to buy a piece of soap, this hair and beard should also be trimmed, and the spirit is sharp, this image should be paid attention to."

Huaiyu wrote a list, based on which he can go to receive a reward of ten taels of gold.

Yu Wencheng quickly waved his hand and refused, asking for a gold coin, also because he wanted to buy a gift for his beloved girl, but he didn't have any.

"Take it, remember to work hard in the future." Huaiyu handed it to him, "I only have one request for you, the girl must chase after you, but don't delay the errand, the most important thing is that you should study hard when you are free Practice martial arts, you can't be left behind, I am very optimistic about you, you have good talents and aptitudes, after a few years, I will arrange for you to serve as a soldier in the Soviet general camp, and earn fame with your skills.
Men must have ambitions, women admire the strong. "

Just now, facing 20 taels of gold, he was not tempted at all, but now with [-] taels of gold, Yu Wencheng directly knelt on the ground and thanked Wu Huaiyu earnestly.

"There is gold under the man's knees. A mere ten taels of gold is not worth your knees. Get up."

"I, Yu Wencheng, will always be loyal to Mr. Wu."

"Go pick out a gift. Let me give you a little suggestion. I bought a gold bracelet. Remember to go to the flower market to pick some beautiful flowers. Roses are pretty good. Remember to say sweet words when you meet."

Yu Wencheng left with a blushing face, very excited.

Xiao Shitou, who was standing at the door as an attendant on duty, watched this scene silently, and was greatly affected. They harvested wheat from Shuofang Nanxiaguan, and after cutting an acre of wheat, they only got two liters of wheat, which was only four yuan. The price has dropped again, and now a bucket of wheat is only fifteen yuan, and an acre of wheat can only be converted to three yuan.

He went south for the first time, and he could collect two acres a day with all his might, but it was only six cents.

This boy with a mountain beard who is a little older than him, and a fellow from Shuofang, can actually get a reward of [-] qian at a time. Shi Xiong can't calculate how many acres of wheat it has to harvest, it's too much.

One hundred mu is three hundred Wen, one thousand mu is three thousand Wen...
If he continues to be a wheat customer, he probably won't be able to earn so much money by collecting wheat for a lifetime.

After following Wu Xianggong, he also saw those maidservants and sisters with sword characters, all of them were young and beautiful, and they were well dressed. At first, he thought that these were Wu Xianggong's concubines.

Yuwen Chengdu actually wanted to find them as wives, he was so courageous and ambitious.

Wu Huaiyu deliberately sat for a while before going to the front hall to meet Mrs. Kang.

He didn't like people who betrayed their masters, especially the kind of people who betrayed their masters actively. If this kind of people betrayed their masters once, they would betray them a second time.

No dog is willing to raise a grin at the owner, let alone such a person who betrays the owner.

But Kang Po can be used, just need to be careful.

Kang Po was very respectful to Wu Huaiyu, even with a little awe and caution, Wu Huaiyu was very satisfied with his attitude, the so-called closeness is disrespectful, the eunuchs who were most familiar with them were often the ones who paid the emperor the least attention.

The emperor may be close to a god in the eyes of ordinary people, but the eunuchs will know that the emperor is also a mortal, and sometimes even inferior to an ordinary person. When you know enough shortcomings and weaknesses of a person, he will no longer be able to respect him.

For people like Kang Po, there must be enough boundaries and dignity must be maintained.

Kang Po is in charge of industrial and commercial tax cases in the Duzhi Envoy Division. She is only the second assistant, but his ability to handle affairs is far superior to that of the current top leader.

"I want you to be responsible for the demolition of the walls of the six experimental squares and the transformation of the square streets into commercial streets. Maybe you can do it well?"

"The subordinates are willing to go all out and will definitely handle this matter well for Prime Minister Wu."

"It's not for me, it's for the court and the saint."

"Yes, this subordinate made a slip of the tongue."

This matter will encounter many obstacles, offend people, and test your ability.

But Po Kang agreed without hesitation, "Someone asked the younger one to introduce Wu Xiang."

Huaiyu looked at Po Kang expressionlessly, and Po Kang knelt down on the ground in fright, "It's a little bold, but I don't dare to do it again."

"Who?"

Wu Huaiyu was a little surprised, why someone wanted to see him, but went to Kang Po as an intermediary, he didn't believe it was a person without status.

"Governor Yun Dingxing of Guide County!"

When the name came out, Wu Huaiyu was very surprised. This is a simple character. In the Sui Dynasty, in terms of being favored by the emperor, he may have surpassed Wu Huaiyu now.

"Is Yun Dingxing still alive?"
