Chapter three hundred and thirty seventh miserable to cry
Chapter 337 Too bad to cry
The coachman pulled Long Aotian into the carriage and rushed to Wuyoutang. This time he got on the carriage again, and the coachman was no longer silent and chatted with Long Aotian. Long Aotian was no longer arrogant. In his life, he finally began to listen to other people's conversations for the first time!
Upon the road, the coachman raised the whip in his hand, whipped a loud voice, and shouted: "Go, goo!"
Long Aotian sat in the car, lifted the curtain and asked, "Why are you calling for a driver? Do you don't know you're driving a driver?"
The coachman turned around, looked at him strangely, and said, "Of course, the villain knows that he is driving the car, but the horse doesn't know. The villain has to tell it to leave quickly!"
Long Aotian was shocked and said with a quick speech: "People have words, and beasts have words. Can you understand beasts? This is a very profound knowledge. I just heard that great sages in ancient times can do it, but in the Tang Dynasty, I have never heard of anyone knowing it!"
The coachman threw another whip and said, "Doctor Long, you often take a car. Could it be that your coachman never calls for a driver?"
Long Aotian thought for a while and said, "It seems that many years ago, a new coachman in my family called for driving. I didn't ask why, but I was very annoyed, so I told the butler and wrote it into a regulation. The butler and coachman who come again must follow the regulations and are not allowed to shout for driving. This is one of them. Since then, I have never heard my coachman shout for driving again!"
The coachman said with a whisper, turned around and said in surprise: "Regulations? Do you write regulations for the servants in your family?"
Long Aotian nodded and said, "Yes, there is no order without rules. You have seen the character of my servants. They are all very disrespectful. They are not long in my family and are very diligent in exchange for them. I can't tell him what to pay attention to every time I hire a new servant. I just want to write it into a regulation and let the housekeeper read it to them!"
He paused and said, "The butler is not long-term, so I specially wrote a separate regulations for the butler!"
The coachman grinned and didn't know what to say. I'm afraid it's not that your servants are not good-natured, but that you are too demanding and actually wrote regulations for your servants. It's simply unheard of. No wonder your servants have all run away. If I were me, I wouldn't have worked in your house for a long time!
The coachman didn't know how to answer, so he had to shut up and remained silent. Long Aotian waited for a while and said, "I have nothing to say. It's your turn to find something. Everyone doesn't say anything. How can I chat?"
The coachman laughed and turned around and looked at him again. This person is really interesting. Could it be that all the people with great knowledge are like this?
He felt that there was nothing to talk about with Long Aotian, "a person with great knowledge" and had no choice but to comfort him: "Doctor Long, everyone has the word "sentence" to memorize. Although the word "sentence" to memorize today is a little bigger, it will be better tomorrow and you can go home again!"
Long Aotian nodded and said, "Yes, tomorrow will be fine. Is the Wuyoutang you mentioned a good place to go? Why haven't you heard of it before?"
The coachman said: "It was newly established by the imperial court, a bit like the porridge hall opened in the disaster year. It was just opened and no one went there yet! By the way, Doctor Long, although he only stayed in it for one night, you have to pay attention. There are all kinds of people inside, but don't let someone bully you!"
Long Aotian said with a oh-so-ghost, "Why do the people inside bully me?"
Although the coachman likes to chat, he doesn't like this kind of chatting method. I guess if his horse becomes a human, he will understand more than the Dragon Doctor behind him, except for medical skills!
The coachman said: "As there are too many people, you can do anything, just be careful!"
He spoke all the way and left Chang'an City, he soon came to Wuyou Hall. Wuyou Hall is the easiest and most expensive institution that Wang Ping'an set up. It is also the most expensive. It is located outside the city, and it is large and there are many people who can accommodate them. The land is convenient and the court will not spend more money to requisition private houses.
Wuyou Hall is not far from the city wall, and after three miles, it was a small village in the past. Because there was little land around and the villagers were not very good at doing business, they lived a poor life. The court changed the place for them and made up the money. The villagers could get the benefits, so they naturally moved away. The small village was regarded as Wuyou Hall and they would be expanded and improved in the future. Of course, that was the long-term plan for the future.
After entering the small village, Long Aotian got out of the car. The coachman said goodbye to him and rushed back to the city!
Long Aotian was confused and looked at the empty small village and thought to himself: "These houses are too dilapidated. Can people live in it? It is unimaginable that there are such poor families in Chang'an."
Wuyou Hall has just been opened, the small village has just been requisitioned, and the government has not yet completed the preparations. There are only a few lowest-level officials in it to take care of it, and there are not many people coming here, and everything is still under construction.
When a small official saw Long Aotian get off the car, he thought to himself: "This man is so beautiful, with tender skin and gorgeous clothes. He is still here by car. I guess he should be the son of a high-ranking official, come here for inspection!"
The little official hurriedly came up and said with a careful look: "Young master, are you here, are you okay?"
Long Aotian looked at the little official and thought to himself: "This man's clothes are very worn and he still smells of sweat. Could it be that he hasn't taken a shower for a month?"
Covering his nose, he said directly: "You are too smelly, stay away from me. Is this Wuyou Village?"
The little official felt very embarrassed and felt very unhappy. He worked all day long and had no rest time, so how could he have no smell? If you see the poor people who stay here, you will know what it means to be interesting. Compared with them, I am extremely clean!
Unknown to the other party's identity, he dared not offend him. The little official took a few steps back and said, "If you go back to the young master, this is Wuyou Village."
Long Aotian asked again: "Constrain food and accommodation? I have agreed in advance, I have no money!"
Who can come here for a rich person? The little official thought to himself: "It must be here for inspection, the kind of private visits in a private place. The noble young master, come down to understand the people's sentiments, and then go back as capital. I will pave the way for him at home!"
Thinking that he had figured out Long Aotian's identity, the minor official said, "Please control food and accommodation, don't have money, but the place where he lives is a bit broken, I'm afraid that the young master will not get used to it!"
Long Aotian said: "It must be not used to it, what's the use of being terrible?" As he said that, he entered the village with his hands behind his back, and the clerk followed behind him.
Seeing this, the other minor officials also vaguely guessed in their hearts that this person must have been here for inspection, and that he was here to make up for capital, not sent by Shangguan, otherwise he would have dressed so gorgeously, but should have been dressed up as a poor man. If he dressed like this, others would recognize him, so what else would he want to inspect him!
If this person was sent by Shangguan to inspect, he must be here to pick the thorns. He had to arrange some "injust-free thorns" immediately and let others pick them up. When this person goes back, it will not only seem to be in vain this time, but Shangguan gives the order: solve these thorns! The people below can solve them immediately. After reporting, Shangguan will definitely say that you are fast and capable! Look, you can flatter and get praise, kill two birds with one stone!
If this person was sent by an adult from his family to understand the sufferings of the people, he had to arrange his sufferings quickly so that he could understand. When this person went home, the adult felt that he had not let him come in vain. He also felt that the officials had worked hard and would praise him. Look, he would kill two birds with one stone!
Since ancient times, minor officials have been as slippery as oil. They do whatever they see. When they think about "understanding" things, they know what to do!
The little official immediately led Long Aotian to the most broken house. There was not even a bed in the house, only a pile of hay, so that Long Aotian could rest.
Long Aotian was shocked and said, "Can people live here?"
The little official replied: "The poor are suffering. This is how life is. We have just opened it here and the conditions are not good. If we can allocate more money, we can build a few more beds!" He pointed out the importance of Long Aotian's money, and then went out.
Long Aotian had no choice but to let him lose money, and thought to himself: "Then let's deal with it all night!"
He didn't know yet that when encountering such a thing, there was a pawnshop in the world. As long as he used his clothes or hairpin, he could have money to stay in a store, and he would deal with it overnight! When others only told him that he had no money, how could he find a place to make do with it, but he didn't tell him how to get the money. Naturally, for the poor, who would sell things without spending money? Save as much as possible!
Long Aotian sat in the pile of hays, sighing constantly, and was hungry again. When it was almost dark, the clerk asked him to eat porridge, and he left the house. But as soon as he came out, he saw a long group of people holding bowls in his hands and lined up to receive porridge!
Long Aotian was surprised. He hadn't seen so many people during the day, so why did he come so many when drinking porridge? He didn't have a bowl, and the clerk gave him one, but when he saw that the bowl was broken and dirty, he didn't want it. He simply went back to the house and was hungry. Anyway, he would be able to go home tomorrow, and it wouldn't be too late to eat it then!
After a while, after eating the porridge, the people outside all found a house to go to bed. Those who could come to Wuyou Hall were naturally poor. They went out to find things to do during the day and went to bed at night. No one would be picky about the quality of the house. Just shelter the wind and rain. The officials did not interfere with the room they lived in!
But it won’t work tonight. A young man came to experience the sufferings of the people, and he had to meet the needs of others! The clerks specially found a dozen beggars and let them live in Long Aotian’s house!
That night, Long Aotian didn't fall asleep at all. The smell and snoring in the house were too loud and he couldn't sleep. He wanted to go out several times, but he would rather not sleep. It would be enough to stand all night, but it started raining outside again, and the seasons changed, and there was hail in it, so he couldn't go out!
A night was as long as a year. It was not until dawn that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he glared for a while. But after a while, he felt cold all over his body. When he opened his eyes, he saw that all the beggars in the room had left!
He slowly sat up and looked down, and found that his clothes were gone, including pants, shoes, socks, and hairpins on his head!
He shouted, "You won't be stolen by the thief again!" There was only a pair of shorts left on his body. The thief was quite good, and he finally left one for him!
Chapter completed!
