Chapter 9

Qin Huaidao sat in the study, looking at the letter written by his aunt, in the letter, her aunt said that she was fine, she just missed Chang'an and wanted to come to Chang'an to worship her eldest brother!

When she learned about Qin Huaidao, she was worried, and in the letter, her aunt also persuaded herself to open something, as long as there are people, don't think about anything else,

Persuade yourself that you are still young, and you can still make contributions to the court in the future, and then make new contributions, don't grieve in vain because of this!

Qin Huaidao looked at it for a while, then sat there and began to reply to his aunt, telling her everything about the family, writing a whole eight pieces of paper, and then enveloping them in an envelope!

When the messenger returns, he will tell them to bring him.

And at this moment, the messenger is also with the housekeeper, the messenger is the old man of the Qin Mansion, back here, naturally there are many acquaintances, learning about the changes in the house during this period of time, the messenger is also very happy, knowing that the young master is now doing things steadily, and he is also slowly building a family business, the messenger is very excited,

Then, the messenger left Chang'an City, and he wanted to go to the Qin family Zhuangzi to have a look, and he also had relatives in the Qin family Zhuangzi.

Three days later, the messenger was going back, pulling three carts full of gifts, all of which were personally prepared by Qin Huaidao!

"Qin Wulang, this time I went to Shouzhou and told my aunt that everything is fine in the house, and you have also seen the situation in the house in the past few days, so let my aunt not worry about it and take care of her body!

This is my reply to my aunt, so keep it and don't lose it! Qin Huaidao handed the letter to the messenger.

"Well, young master, the little one has heard about it in the past few days, young master, you have to take good care, the little one can't saddle the horse and wait, I just hope the young master can cheer up!

Young master, the people over there in Qinzhuang all said that the young master is good, and the little one has also heard about it, His Majesty has also been rewarded recently, and the eldest lady will definitely be happy if she knows it.

Young master, the little one has said goodbye, and when he returns to Shouzhou, the little one will pray for the young master every day, and I wish the young master good health and revive the family business! The messenger saluted and said emotionally to Qin Huaidao,

In ancient times, people were very righteous and loyal, and every soldier and subordinate in the house were loyal to the head of the family, and they all knew that the head of the family was good, and the family was good, so they could be good!

"Okay, I have a heart! Take care all the way! Qin Huaidao helped him up, patted his arm and said, and then they set off to start heading to Shouzhou, Qin Huaidao walked all the way to the gate and watched them leave.

"Young Master!" The butler whispered from behind.

"Huh?" Qin Huaidao snorted.

"Far away!" The butler whispered again.

"Hmm!" Qin Huaidao nodded, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the mansion,

The housekeeper looked at the convoy that had gone away outside the house, sighed lightly, and went in.

On this day, Qin Huaidao was reading books in the study, and his father left him a large number of books, in the Tang Dynasty, books were very scarce, and the family gate valve controlled a large number of books, and the children of the poor family had no books to read at all.

Although Qin Mansion is not a family gate, but his father also likes to collect books during his lifetime, and there are more than 1,000 books in the house.

Occasionally, he went out of the city, and ordered the farmers to level the foundations, and at the same time went around the mountains a lot, and bought a barren mountain, all of which were clay, and another of which was made of limestone, and ordered people to build sheds in two places.

He also asked the women of the village to go to the river to get sand and gravel and transport it to the village.

On a rainy day, Qin Huaidao designed some tools and drawings at home, and instructed carpenters and blacksmiths to make them.

"Young Master!" On this day, Qin Huaidao was reading a book when the housekeeper came in.

"Something?" Qin Huaidao put down the book, looked at the housekeeper and asked.

"Young master, it looks like it's going to be March, and the weather is getting warmer, young master, Zhuangzi's side, if you want to rebuild the house, it's time to start working!" The housekeeper came over and reminded Qin Huaidao.

"Yes, it's getting warmer, it's time to start building, and you need to build some houses before the wheat harvest. Okay, let's go! When Qin Huaidao heard this, he stood up and said to the housekeeper.

"Yes!" The steward went out at once, and began to give orders to his subordinates to follow.

Qin Huaidao went out of Chang'an City, so he first went to the three Zhuangzi, mobilized some Zhuang men, went to the limestone mountain and the clay mountain, took out those tools, and prepared to start working.

And when they went to the clay mountain, Qin Huaidao just ordered them to make brick embryos, and Qin Huaidao demonstrated it once, and they would!

After the lime was fired, Qin Huaidao asked people to transport the lime back, put it into the dug pit, and inject a large amount of people to cook the lime, and then Qin Huaidao went to the brick embryo and instructed those farmers to start building brick kilns, and after they were built, they began to burn bricks, all of which burned green bricks and green tiles!

At the same time, he also instructed the three Zhuangzi to start digging the foundation, because they needed to use a lot of people, so Qin Huaidao also invited many people from the surrounding Zhuangzi to work, 1 copper coin or 10 catties of corn a day, and there were many people working.

Three Zhuangzi, in less than half a month, dug a lot of foundations, all of which are 180 square houses, in addition to kitchens and livestock pens, one by one, neatly arranged.

After the lime was completely developed, Qin Huaidao began to instruct the villagers, telling them how to make lime mortar, which was used to lay foundations and build walls.

On this day, it was a rainy day, Qin Huaidao didn't go out, but read books at home, built a house, and those stewards in the house were watching, so he didn't have to worry.

What they should do has been done, they can do these things by themselves, the government just needs to pay for it,

And the money, which can't be spent, is used to buy timber and pay the wages of other farmers, Qin Huaidao predicts that it will not cost 500 yuan to be able to do this.

"Young Master, the eldest young master of the Cheng family of Lu Guogong is here!" Qin Huaidao was reading a book, and a steward came in to report that the housekeeper went to Zhuangzi's side, Qin Huaidao was relieved, he was not at ease, he had to stare at the Zhuangzi over there to work.

"Please!" Qin Huaidao stood up as he spoke, and when he arrived at the door of the hall, at this time, it was raining heavily outside, and Qin Huaidao saw Cheng Chuhei coming over in a robe!

"Brother Cheng, come here at this time?" When Qin Huaidao saw him coming, he helped him take off his clothes.

"Oh, I said Pepin, what do you think? I just learned today that you are going to build so many blue brick houses on the Zhuangzi side! It's already been talked about outside! Cheng handed over the clothes to Qin Huaidao's family as he spoke, and said anxiously to Qin Huaidao.

"The discussion is open? Just to build a blue brick house? Why the discussion? What does it have to do with them when I build a house? "Qin Huaidao is very incomprehensible, Zhuangzi's house has been picked, shouldn't it be built?

"Hey!" Cheng entered the hall as he spoke, Qin Huaidao followed, and immediately a family member brought tea,

This tea is different from the previous tea, it is the fresh tea that Qin Huaidao instructed the tea merchants who supply tea all year round to his house, and he personally fried it in an iron pot, but he didn't have the intention of drinking tea.

"Well, it's not that it can't be built! Or you say you shouldn't build it that way? If you build a house like this, you won't be able to get down for tens of thousands! Cheng said anxiously to Qin Huaidao.

"Why do you need so much?" Qin Huaidao was also shocked, he hadn't spent 100 guan until now, and there were more than 50 houses already under construction, and the timber Qin Huaidao had also booked, it was estimated that 300 guan could come down, why did he need so much money?

"Green bricks! You use green bricks and green tiles, do you know how much it costs? Three green bricks need a penny, you do the math!

Wouldn't you just let them ram with earth? Why build it so well, people outside say that you are a loser, you don't feel sorry for selling your grandfather's field, this bit of family business in the Qin Mansion will be lost by you sooner or later! How can there be such a house for the farmer? Cheng Chuhei said anxiously to Qin Huaidao, he hoped that Qin Huaidao would be sensible and not lose the family business.

"But I don't need to spend so much money, I'll forget it, I'll spend 500 guan at most, 500 kan, build 800 houses, it's enough!

I burned the bricks myself, I don't need money, those farmers, after the disaster last year, were originally raised by the government, plus they built houses, they didn't need wages, and the people who were invited didn't have much wages! Qin Huaidao sat there and said to Cheng Chuhei.

"What, you will burn green bricks? No, if you burn green bricks, that's also, hey, no! At this time, Cheng Chuhei thought that something was wrong,

The firing of green bricks is very slow, and now it is rumored that Qin Huaidao has built a lot of green brick houses, that is to say, Qin Huaidao's Zhuangzi may now have a large number of green bricks, and this green brick needs to be customized in advance, and if the amount is large, it will take a long time.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Qin Huaidao still didn't understand what Cheng Chuhei had any doubts, so he stared at him.

"The green bricks can't be fired so quickly, right? I went to buy green bricks, a month, a brick house, up to 2,000 pieces, before I had to build a yard in my house, and I waited for three months for the bricks! Cheng turned his head to look at Qin Huaidao and asked, he felt that it was impossible for Qin Huaidao to get so many green bricks at once.

"Hehe, Brother Cheng, my speed, my kiln can burn 50,000 bricks, I have ten brick kilns, and the time of one kiln is about half a month!" Qin Huaidao touched his head with a smile and said a little proudly.

"Huh? This, this, how is that possible? Cheng stood up in shock and stared at Qin Huaidao.

"It's just outside the city, it's raining heavily now, I can't take you there, otherwise, I'll take you to see it!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile to Cheng Chuhei.

"No, no, no, I'll go, tell me there, I'll go!" Cheng Zhisi can't wait, he can burn so many green bricks at one time, Cheng Zhisi needs to take a look.
