Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

At daybreak, the people at the coal mine had already started digging coal. When they were working hard, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao came over together. Cheng Chumo shouted loudly: "Everyone, stop for a moment, stop for a moment!"

The people stopped what they were doing and looked at them with confusion. Someone asked, "Master Cheng, Master Qin, you are busy now. What's going on?"

Qin Huaidao stepped forward, cleared his throat, and said, "I called everyone here today to discuss wages. Your Majesty is wise and sympathetic to everyone's hard work. He has specially decreed that the wages will be set at one guan of cash per day."

When the people heard this, they were immediately in an uproar. Some people opened their eyes wide in surprise and couldn't help but say, "What? One guan of money a day? That's a lot!"

Someone nearby also echoed, "Yes, yes, I didn't expect there would be so many. Your Majesty is so kind to us!"

Everyone's faces were filled with surprise, and they cheered: "Okay, with this salary, we must work harder!"

Holding tools in hand, they happily walked towards the coal mining site, talking as they walked: "This is great! I thought it was just ordinary hard labor, but I didn't expect to get a day's pay of one kan."

"Yes, yes. I could never have earned so much in the past. This will not only allow my family to survive the cold winter, but also give us some extra money to improve our lives."

"Thanks to your majesty's grace, we won't have to suffer the cold this winter and will even be paid handsomely. We must work hard and not let your majesty down."

In the Chang'an Street market, a brand new job recruitment notice was posted in a conspicuous place.

The people around quickly gathered around and talked about the notice.

"Look, this is a coal mine recruiting workers. They say the salary is quite good." An old man squinted his eyes and looked at the notice carefully.

"Yes, one guan of money a day is much more than what we usually earn from odd jobs. I just don't know if mining coal is hard." A young man scratched his head, feeling a little excited and a little worried.

"I heard that His Majesty attaches great importance to the coal industry and will not treat us people unfairly. In my opinion, this is a rare opportunity. If we can go, our family will have hope for the future." A middle-aged man stroked his beard, his eyes full of eagerness to try.

Everyone was talking at once, many of them making their own calculations in their minds, considering whether or not to apply for the job. The crowd in front of the notice did not disperse for a long time, and the noise continued one after another.

I heard an urgent and loud shout from outside the crowd: "Get out of the way!"

Everyone quickly turned their heads to look and saw a burly man struggling to push his way through the crowd towards the job recruitment notice.

As he squeezed in, he muttered, "Everyone is gathered here. What does the notice say? Please make some space."

Although the people around him were a little unhappy about being squeezed, seeing his anxious look, they all moved aside and made way for him.

A young man in slightly shabby clothes squeezed through the crowd and looked at the content on the notice. His eyes couldn't help but redden and he said excitedly, "That's great! One guan of cash a day's wages! My mother has no money left at home to buy medicine. With this income, she's saved!"

After saying this, he clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, as if he had seen hope for his mother's recovery. When the people around him heard about his experience, they all looked at him with sympathy and relief.

These people, full of expectations, hurried all the way to the coal mining site.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao were directing the miners' work. Everyone gathered around them, asking, "Master Cheng, Master Qin, is the one guan (two coins) per day wage mentioned in the job posting at the market true?"

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao smiled at each other, and Cheng Chumo answered loudly and cheerfully, "Yes, yes, the notice is absolutely true. His Majesty has issued an order. As long as everyone works hard, the wages will be one string of coins per day. No one will be shortchanged."

When the people heard this, they immediately showed happy smiles on their faces, and they were ready to fight: "You guys take a break."

Cheng Chumo waved his hand and said apologetically, "We appreciate your kindness, but we've only just started working and there's still a lot to do. We can't afford to rest just yet. Our coal industry is just getting started, so we have to hurry and catch up."

Qin Huaidao also echoed, "Yes, His Majesty is still looking forward to us producing more coal here soon, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty can have a warm winter. So everyone has to work harder and keep digging. Thank you for your hard work."

The people nodded in understanding after hearing this. One of them said, "Master Cheng and Master Qin are right. You guys go about your business, and we'll get back to work."

After that, everyone picked up their tools and continued to dig coal with full enthusiasm.

In one county, a group of soldiers were working hard. The leading soldier gathered them together and shouted, "Brothers, His Majesty has issued an order. In addition to our normal monthly wages, we who come to dig coal can also receive an extra one guan of money every day!"

When the soldiers heard this, they were stunned at first, then their eyes widened with disbelief. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Did I hear this correctly? There's such a good thing?"

The leading soldier laughed heartily and patted his chest, saying, "You heard correctly. The Emperor is wise and sympathetic to our hard work, so he issued this decree. So everyone should cheer up and work hard, and don't let His Majesty down."

The soldiers immediately cheered, their faces filled with joy, and their enthusiasm grew even stronger. They shouted, "We must do a good job! With such a good opportunity, we must use all our strength!"

After saying that, he quickly picked up his tools and continued to dig coal.

In the bustling and prosperous Zuixianlou, the place is bustling with people and the aroma of wine is everywhere.

Yu Yu was sitting at a table in the corner with a cute Pomeranian lying in front of her.

Yu Yu stretched out her finger and gently teased the Pomeranian. The Pomeranian opened its big round eyes, tilted its head to look at Yu Yu, and then happily wagged its tail and jumped around Yu Yu's feet.

From time to time, it would stretch out its pink little tongue to lick Yu Yu's hand. It looked so cute and funny, attracting many diners around to look at it with kindness and love.

Yu Yu was teasing the Pomeranian when he suddenly heard a soft "meow". He turned around and saw a calico cat walking towards him with graceful steps.

The calico cat's fur is black, white and yellow, just like an overturned paint palette, which is very beautiful.

It walked to Yu Yu, rubbed Yu Yu's legs, and then lay lazily on the ground, with its head raised and eyes shining, as if it also wanted to participate in this interesting teasing and compete for Pomeranian's favor.

Seeing this, Yu Yu smiled and reached out to scratch the calico cat's chin. The calico cat squinted its eyes comfortably and made a comfortable "purring" sound in its throat.
