Zhao Laohan's real name is Zhao Fengshou, is a native of Shandong, the ancestral craftsman built a house, during the great cause, Shandong drought, Zhao Laohan fled to Youzhou with the villagers, Youzhou Thorn Shi Zhang Zetian has a good governance, ordered to reclaim wasteland, clean up the victims, as long as they are willing to reclaim the famine, they can get five acres of Yongye field, and fifteen acres of rented land, this time, Zhao Laohan is considered to have a place to settle down, when he fled he and his son and daughter-in-law were separated, only a young grandson and his own life.

Twenty acres of land is more than enough for the old man and his grandson, although the land is barren and the grain yield is less, but it is enough to maintain food and clothing.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, with the resurgence of the beacon fire, the world was in turmoil, the tyranny of Emperor Yang of Sui finally triggered the rebellion of the people in the world, and the gentry gradually became ready to move, at first just grabbed some new households' land, and gradually developed to buy and sell the reclamation land of the reclamation people, Liu Laohan's fifteen acres of rented land was unfortunately bought by the landlord to forcibly sign and draw a mortgage to buy it at a low price.

At this time, Zhao Laohan's life suddenly became sad, only the grain produced by the five acres of Yongye field was not enough to feed his grandson, and if he continued like this, he could only sell himself as a slave and farm for those landlords.

Youzhou Taishou Zhang Zetian is also the dragon and phoenix among the people, anxious to join the Ming Lord, a letter of resignation, support Guanzhong Li Yuan's department, and recruit 3,000 troops, stabilize all walks of life against the king, while supporting Guanzhong Li Yuan's troops, as a result, Zhang Zetian really stood on the right team, Li Yuan finally ascended the throne and called the emperor, and the great hero, among which Zhang Zetian, the assassin of Youzhou, was awarded the title, promoted to one level, appointed as the Taishou of Youzhou, and continued to manage Youzhou affairs.

With the new king ascending the throne, Liu Laohan's life is a little better, twenty acres of Yongye field is the new king's regulations, and at the same time there are eighty acres of mouth field, although there are more fields this time, it is also sad, because there is no ploughing at all, Zhao Laohan's family has no cattle, and the rent of eighty acres of rent every year is also unaffordable.

But the decree is the decree, one more acre is not too much, one acre less is not too much, and the rent of eighty acres will have to be paid next year.

After a year of hard work, I was very reluctant to pay the rent, and a sack of grain was planted by myself all year round, and now it will be handed over to the yamen.

Seven years have passed like this, and his five-year-old grandson has now grown into a twelve-year-old strong young man, and Zhao Laohan was originally only forty-five years old, but many years of working in the fields made him look very old, looking like a sixty-year-old man.

Over the years, Zhao Laohan has relied on his diligence and his ancestral house-building skills to build houses for blind dates in ten miles and eight townships, and has won unanimous praise and is deeply loved by the villagers.

But although Zhao Laohan is kind, but relatively wooden, for so many years, whoever has a natural disaster or disease has sent a lot of money, so he has not had much savings for so many years, and his family is poor, although his grandson looks good, but no woman's family can look at it.

This makes Zhao Laohan a little anxious, his grandson's marriage is his lifelong wish, if he can't afford to marry because he has no money, he can't pass on the ancestors to the old Zhao family, Zhao Laohan is the sinner of the old Zhao family, and he can't enter the ancestral ancestral hall after death.

So Zhao Laohan began to learn to save money, but where is the money so easy to save, how can the peasants who dig from the field save any money, only to be a government soldier every year, and when they train, they can get a salary of 100 yuan, and the usual food is not enough to eat, let alone save.

Just when Zhao Laohan was anxious, the village chief came to the door, the village chief had received the favor of Zhao Laohan before, and when his daughter-in-law was in labor, Zhao Laohan helped pull the car to the city to deliver the baby, so he had been looking for an opportunity to repay Zhao Laohan, and this time he finally met an opportunity.

"Harvest, this Youzhou City is now recruiting a cement team, I heard that it was ordered by the Youzhou Xu God of Wealth, and it was personally approved by Lord Taishou, your craftsmanship is so good, you must be able to go in, and when you get inside, I heard that the monthly money is five times a month, and your grandson will be able to marry a daughter-in-law of a well-off family in a dignified manner."

Zhao Laohan was a little confused when he heard this, and was stunned for a while before he said, "Village chief, how much money is a month?" ”

"Five dollars a month, the notices have been posted, a full 5,000 yuan."

"Village chief, I haven't read, don't play tricks on me."

"When did I lie to you, harvest, the notice says that those who have experience in building houses are preferred, you say, which of the newly built houses in our village in the past seven years has not been through your hands, your craftsmanship is good, go and try, maybe you will be selected, and I heard that I have entered the cement team, and even my family can arrange it, such a good thing, if I didn't have your craftsmanship, I would have gone a long time ago." The village chief swore that Zhao Laohan was also tempted.

As a result, everyone was happy, Zhao Fengshou was admitted to the cement team, and also served as a steward of the cement team, with a monthly salary of seven yuan and a bonus at the end of the year.

When Zhao Fengshou returned to the village with a small bag of copper coins, he was still a little dizzy, wearing new clothes made of high-quality fabric, with a triangular symbol embroidered on his left chest, and the three golden characters embroidered on the cement team below seemed to give him incomparable confidence, which was specially arranged by Xu Yang, first take a month's salary to go back to improve his life, and officially report the next day.

He returned to his hometown in brocade clothes, which surprised the whole village, and a few people couldn't recognize that this was Zhao Laohan who was wearing a linen patch and eating a black nest yesterday, and the village chief held Zhao Laohan's hand, and said for a long time, "Harvest, congratulations, the Zhao family is developed." ”

This time is like a chicken turning into a phoenix, Zhao Laohan, who was originally the poorest in the village, suddenly became a golden phoenix, with seven yuan a month, which is completely enough to make the Zhao family become a well-off family, and it is to work with Xu Caishen, the hottest person in Youzhou, with a bright future. The matchmakers who came to discuss the marriage one after another, the threshold of Zhao Laohan's house was about to be flattened, at this time Zhao Laohan was not in a hurry, and patiently watched the matchmakers introduce their daughters one by one, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.

Since Zhao Laohan joined the cement team, he first participated in the construction of the 'Datang International Hotel', Xu Yang's house building drawings, Zhao Laohan has been immersed in building a house for so many years and is the first time to see it, I can't help but be surprised by this ghostly idea, when this building is completely built, Zhao Laohan really wants to die and be buried under this hotel, he thinks this is the best building he has built in his life.

As a result, less than two months later, the cement team received a new task to participate in the construction of a huge stadium, which was also an unheard of building for Zhao Laohan.

When the stadium was not generally built, followed by the construction of Lanxiang Academy by the sea, Zhao Laohan can be said to have witnessed all kinds of the most magical buildings in the world, this time followed Xu Yang to Chang'an, and finally received the news that a larger academy complex would be built.
