Chapter 55: Jin Sinan was confiscated
Chapter 55 Golden Nano was confiscated
With Qin Huaidao on his back, Li Yu hummed a song all the way and returned home happily. On the way, he met Du Ergou who came to find him, saying that an imperial edict had arrived. And two imperial edicts were also issued.
Li Yu didn't care about the several imperial edicts. What he cared about was that he could see the legendary eunuch, so he was so excited that he let Qin Huaidao go and let the maid take him. He jogs all the way back.
After entering the mansion, he found that the incense table had been prepared, so he washed his hands and faces and stood respectfully on a eunuch; "Minist Li Yu received the order. (The people of the Tang Dynasty can call themselves ministers to the emperor)" Old Li thought to himself that this eunuch was indeed a little different from ordinary people. He didn't even have a beard on his mouth, and nothing else was, just like ordinary people.
He heard the eunuch recite, "In accordance with the heavens, the emperor ordered: Li Yu, the father, inherited his father, the baron of Lantian County and the founding county. He also gave him one hundred gold and five pieces of silk."
Li Yu received the order and thought to himself. Just these two sentences, why don’t you recite them for a long time like on TV???
But he still took it respectfully, and the eunuch carried out an imperial edict and said; "Li Yu, a man from Kaiguo County, Lantian County, received the imperial edict, "The emperor's edict said in the Heavenly Continent, "Now, there is Li Yu, a man from Kaiguo County, Lantian County, who made Zhenguan tables and chairs and presented them to the royal family,...a tribute..."
Li Yu understood two things. First, the tables and chairs you made have names, Zhenguan tables and Zhenguan chairs. Second, as long as the wood is golden nanmu, the tables and chairs made are royal tributes, and they are special tributes, which can only be used by the royal family.
No one cares about other woods.
Li Yu suddenly felt more depressed, and he was helpless. Li Yu, who was familiar with history, knew that in this era, you had only one result of opposing imperial power, that is, you would be destroyed and even have no bones left. Forget it, at least other wooden tables and chairs are not allowed to be used.
Pretending to look very happy, he respectfully accepted the second imperial edict.
Li Yu raised his body and winked at Ergou. Ergou understood and quickly handed over a silver cake to the eunuch.
The man smiled and said with a man-in-law voice, "Congratulations to your family, Jinsi Nan Zhenguan tables and chairs in the future will be tributes. If we have collected the tributes from your mansion, we have to go back and report. Please don't make things difficult for our family."
Li Yu was thinking about it, and his arms couldn't twist his thighs. Of course, he wouldn't be indifferent to resist. He commanded the servants in the mansion to control the ones in his house, Wang Kexin's house, Situ's house, and the ones in the main hall.
As long as it was made of golden nanmu, it was moved out. The side hall was made of iron limu, so there was no need to move it. Looking at the yard, Li Yu Laohuai was very pleased. Fortunately, he made a few more sets, otherwise he would have to sit on the ground tonight. He didn't care. All the people of the Tang Dynasty knelt on the ground.
A total of 14 sets of Zhenguan tables and chairs were brought out. Seeing everyone loading the car, Li Yu felt extremely distressed, and the eunuch said again. "It's so that Li County Man can find out that the price of tributes will be determined by His Majesty in person, and we will always have one set. This time our family will bring them directly. Next time, Li County Man will send them to the Ministry of Eunuchs on his own. Only after passing the receipt can you go to the treasury to collect them."
After saying that, he waved his hand and someone brought a box and asked for 14 jin of silver coins. Another hundred more were counted. There were palace maids next to him who took five pieces of silk.
Li Yuxin said, "Damn it, the reward of 100 gold is actually 100 yuan. It's too stingy,
However, there have always been many sets of Zhenguan tables and chairs. According to my own calculations, forty people and thirty cars were sent back in two months. One hundred and nineteen nanmu were brought back.
Two sets of tables and chairs are made of two silos. Can people eat them? If you add the salary, it will probably be about 600 silos per set. The emperor gave Yisilos, which is quite good. If you earn more than 300 silos, it is not big or small, and it is considered a compensation.
Besides, he doesn't have to pay wages. How could he know that even these fourteen trump cards can't earn many people in their lifetime?
After seeing off the people in the palace, Li Yu turned around and said to the carpenters; "Starting tomorrow, we will use crabapple wood and iron pear wood to make all of them. Don't use golden nanmu wood for the time being."
All the carpenters agreed.
Li Yu said again, "You try to make the things in your hands tonight, otherwise you will have to sit on the ground tonight."
Everyone agreed with laughter. Then they hurriedly worked.
After the servants moved the two sets of tables and chairs in the yard to the main hall, Li Yu directed him to put the mid-term set in his backyard.
Li Yu was so depressed that he had to eat wine, so he ran to the kitchen again. A few days ago, he arranged for the servants to buy spices from the Hu people, and asked someone to collect a few live pigs. Tonight he wanted to make elbows and cumin mutton.
This time when Li Yu cooked, no one said anything. The chefs gathered around to study and made a pot of braised ingredients with pepper, pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, tangerine peel, and green onion. After the water boiled, a pair of pig's head and face were added, and then two elbows, four pig's trotters and one chicken. The cumin lamb was started here.
After a lot of vegetables here and all were ready, the other side was almost cooked. I mixed it with a cold ear, added garlic paste, and added some sesame oil (there were already sesame seeds in the Tang Dynasty).
Pig head face, roast chicken, natural mutton, plus six dishes including braised pork, okra, pork fried beans, etc., will be considered a big table of nine dishes tonight. Wang Kexin and Situ Yunsha's portion will be sent directly to the backyard.
A group of stubborn children here have been impatient for a long time. The dishes started to snatch them up as soon as they were served. Li Yu was not in the mood to eat today, so he just ate a few bites and kept drinking. Cheng Chusi next to him saw that he seemed to be in a bad mood, so he drank and chatted with him.
When Li Yu expressed his depression, Cheng Chusi realized that Li Dalang was unhappy because the emperor took away the furniture of golden nanmu. Boss Cheng thought it was a big deal, so he started to enlighten him on the spot: "Dalang doesn't know anything. The things in this mansion have become tributes for the royal family, which is equivalent to being related to the royal family. This is a happy event?"
"Oh, brother, please tell me in detail!"
So Cheng Chusi made a long speech and talked about various benefits.
Finally, Li Yu summarized it into a sentence, which is actually a tiger's skin wearing royal tribute. The fox pretends to be a tiger's power and shocks some villains.
But this is also a good thing. As Cheng Chusi said, his father has passed away, and Cheng Bapi and Qin Shubao will also leave in the future.
This is an inevitable thing. How to make your future life smoother and not be bullied is undoubtedly related to the royal family and is the best. For example, Cheng Chuliang was appointed as a prince consort and relied on the royal family. I am afraid that it will be a wedding in a few years.
