Chapter 190: Preparing for a Rainy Day

He has a sky-high ponytail on his head, a cyan forehead, a full heavenly court, and angular facial features. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is not tall but straight, not strong but light steps, slammed eyes, there is really a sense of "An can distinguish that I am male and female".

"Qingyan knocks to see Childe."

Zhang Fang smiled, even the saluting action is men's, no wonder Ah Li said that she didn't think about her own business at all, this is "neutral" to say good, and "man's wife" is ugly, who dares to ask for it?

Zhang Fang thought about it and felt that it was still necessary to remind: "Qingyan, do you have no skirt or don't like it?" ”

Qingyan always wears hakama (pants), a single hakama in summer and autumn, and a hakama in winter and spring. Zhang Fang has the impression that from the first time he saw her, he rarely saw her wearing a skirt. Zhang Fang was a little worried about whether he had taken her out of the Western Regions for too long, which made her concept of clothing nonsense.

In fact, Zhang Fang himself prefers simple Hufu, but he understands better that he can't change the concept of clothing of the people, and he has to blend in. He is like this as a modern person, but Qingyan is more modern than him.

Qingyan's answer was unexpectedly straightforward: "In order to hide the flying knife, it is convenient to practice hand-to-hand combat." ”

Zhang Fang couldn't cry or laugh: "Why are you carrying flying knives all day long?" This is Chang'an, not the Western Regions. ”

Qingyan hurriedly defended: "I only brought a flying knife with my son...... when I went out."

Zhang Fang didn't let her go: "As for practicing hand-to-hand combat, it's time to wear short fights when you practice, and you can usually change your clothes." ”

"It's too much trouble to go back and forth. And what I did for my son, I had to run back and forth, and it was very inconvenient to wear a skirt. ”

Qingyan's answer made Zhang Fang speechless for a while, this is good, she is handing over the contradiction.

Like most powerful and wealthy families in this era, the Fuping Marquis Mansion also has some doormen and diners, who can be attached to the Fuping Marquis to eat, and they have some ability or skill, including many swordsmen like Ju Xin or knights who are good at hand-to-hand combat.

Zhang Fang also summoned these people and tested them on the spot, and there were indeed two hits, although they were not as good as the drama, but they were also very good. In the nearly a year that Zhang Fang guarded filial piety, Han Jun, Han Chong, Qingyan, Shi Niu, etc. all learned from these doormen and tried to keep up with a qualified guard.

Over the past year, the guards from Zhang Fang to him have become stronger, although Zhang Fang has not tried these young guards, but judging from Qingyan's walking posture and pace, it is completely different from a year ago, and it has a taste of practicing a family.

couldn't convince this tomboy, Zhang Fang also let her go, and only asked what was the matter.

"Qingyan has followed Childe's instructions and completed the matter."

As soon as Qingyan spoke, Ah Li immediately retired, she understood her duty, and she didn't listen to what she shouldn't have done.

Zhang Fang summoned a maid and led Ah Li away.

After Ah left, Zhang Fang nodded and said, "You continue." ”

"Yes, although the disaster in Hedong has been alleviated, there are many broken families, and I have selected some qualified young men and women to be safely sent to Weicheng Manor......

The sale of slaves and maids was very common in this era, and many powerful families had hundreds or thousands of servants, most of whom came from poor families who had lost their land after the disaster and had nothing to live in. However, Zhang Fang's purpose of asking Qingyan and Han Jun to buy boys and girls was different from that of ordinary magnates, he wanted Han Jun and Qingyan to train these people, so that the teenagers would become their full-time servants in the future, and the girls could become Qingyan's assistants.

There are hundreds of servants in the Fuping Marquis Mansion, plus various courtyards and workshops, and there are more than 1,000 personnel. However, according to Zhang Fang's investigation, many servants were almost worn away by the life of the prosperous and peaceful Hou Mansion, and there were very few people who met the requirements. So he simply recruited another group of people, adopted militarized centralized life training, and made a truly decent Hu Guard.

This matter has been carried out as early as half a year ago, and now Qingyan has reported that it is the third batch of trainees.

Zhang Fang knew very well that he would definitely have to return to the Western Regions in the future, and by then there would be no army to escort him, so he could only rely on himself and his own guards. Plan ahead, be prepared, and be prepared.

Speaking of this, Zhang Fang suddenly remembered that after returning home after the expiration of his filial piety period, he hadn't been to see this training camp, and he happened to be idle today......

"The head of the family, there is an old craftsman named Tian An outside the mansion who asks to see him. How do you want to reply to the small one, please instruct. Outside the door, there was the sound of the steward of the outer court.

Zhang Fang asked, "What did he say?" ”

"Said that there was a breakthrough in research, and the head of the family had instructed him to report it as soon as he had a good letter......

"Let him wait, and I'll go right away." When Zhang Fang heard this, he immediately let go of the idea of inspecting the base, ordered people to change their clothes, and prepared to travel.

As soon as Zhang Fang traveled, his attendants immediately followed. However, because I am in Chang'an and the crisis has long been resolved, there is no need to bring a large number of people every time. On the sixth day of the first month, Ah Zhen and Zongba, only one person can be brought at a time, and this time it is Zongba's turn to follow. plus the driver Qu Liang, as well as Qingyan who didn't want to miss it at the right time, and finally Tian An, a total of five people traveled.

Although Qu Liang was lame, he did not give it in vain when he traveled west with Zhang Fang, learned the art of royal cars, and became Zhang Fang's full-time "driver", proving that he was not eating for nothing, and reflected his own value.

Zhang Fang and Qingyan sat in the car, Zongba rode a horse, and Tian Aner sat in the position of the deputy of the car, half sideways, and reported the incident to the head of the family.

Tian An was ordered to return to Wucheng's hometown a year ago to investigate the situation of ceramics. The effort was not in vain, he found the fragment at his brother's house and invited him to Beijing. However, his brother said that he was too old to bear the toil of the journey, so he introduced him to his grandson. He said that although his grandson was young, he was very interested in this ceramic and had been doing research. It's just a poor potter's house, a lot of things can't be prepared, sometimes one or two experiments, the cost of spending more than half a year, so it has not been effective. If Tian An's main family is really willing to invest in this area, his grandson is the right person.

Because the distance was too far, Tian An couldn't ask for instructions, and in desperation, in order to make a difference, he took his nephew, who was less than thirty, to Chang'an. The result was not bad, and the head of the family did not mind his youth, but let him study with peace of mind. More than half a year has passed in this flash, and countless waste products have been burned, Tian An is distressed to see it, and he is even more worried that his nephew and grandson will not be able to get qualified things for such a long time. Fortunately, there was finally a breakthrough today, and I hurried to report it.

“…… The glaze was dark green and smooth, similar to the small fragments of antiquity seen. I wanted to give it to the head of the family, but my nephew said that there were a few uneven burnings, which were remnants, and I would give it to the head of the family when there was a better one. I wanted to report a letter, but I didn't expect the head of the family to come in person, alas! I knew that I would have brought it, so that the head of the house would not have to run away......" Tian An rubbed his hands, excited and a little uneasy, excited that he could at least explain it; Uneasily, he didn't expect the head of the family to attach so much importance to it, and he deigned to go on a trip to see it with his own eyes, which made him even more stressed.

After listening to this, Zhang Fang only asked: "There is only one piece of this kiln?" ”

Tian An said in a panic: "Yes, I only got one, and the rest are all broken, which cost a lot of wages......"

Zhang Fang waved his hand: "It's okay, research, you always have to invest, this is nothing, don't have a psychological burden." Saying that, he slowly leaned against the wall of the compartment, closed his eyes, and had a little expectation in his heart, I wonder if after more than half a year of research, this alternative potter with a spirit of study can bring surprises to himself?
