After the ancestral hall.

Qin Huaidao was worried that there was no place to find coal, with Li Er's status and power, it was much easier to find it than by himself, facing Yu Zhang, Zhengse said: "Since this is the case, then it is ashamed, there is a kind of coal, also called black soil, black charcoal, in some places it is called black stone, it can burn, there is smoke, can you ask the saint to help find it, I am willing to buy it." ”

"Black soil - I've heard that it's not poisonous when burned?" Yu Zhang's eyes were full of surprise.

"Sort of." Qin Huaidao agreed, carbon dioxide will be produced after coal is burned, and if this thing absorbs too much, it will kill people, and it is not wrong to say that it is poisonous.

"Then what are you doing here, it's going to die?" Yu Zhang reminded.

"Naturally, it's useful." Qin Huaidao said, it was too troublesome to explain, so he simply didn't say it.

Yu Zhang saw that Qin Huaidao was bound to win, but he didn't want to say more, so the smart one didn't ask again, and promised: "Since the elder brother of the Qin family wants coal, let people enter the palace and let the father find it." ”

"That's right, thank you." Qin Huaidao said politely, and his heart was a little fixed, with Li Er coming forward, the matter was basically stable, and it would take to see how long it would take to find it.

"There's another thing, I don't know whether to say it or not." Yu Zhang wanted to speak and stopped.

"Then don't talk about it yet." Qin Huaidao was thinking about more than two hundred people in his heart, and he turned around and was about to leave.

"How?" Yu Zhang was a little depressed about Qin Huaidao's unreasonable playing of cards, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Qin, you care for those more than two hundred hard-working women, benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled, and the whole Chang'an can't find a second one, please also care about Princess Jinyang, she is your patient, what can Yu Zhang do, although the order is." ”

Qin Huaidao thought of something, and simply asked, "You want me to go to Luo Han Guo." ”

Yu Zhang nodded calmly and said earnestly: "Brother Qin, as long as you are willing to find it, you can mention anything you need, if Yu Zhang can't do it, you will let your father do it, the people sent by your father have been three months, but they returned with their bare hands, Yu Zhang is worried about his son, he really has no choice, he can only open his mouth with a cheeky face, and ask Brother Qin to be merciful." ”

The face is sad, the words are sincere, and God is merciful!

With the respect of Princess Yuzhang, there is no need to ask for each other in such a low profile, and he can even let Li Er give an order to force himself to go, but he did not, but he sincerely begged for him, which shows that he is kind-hearted.

The road to the south is far away, and it is very troublesome to go there, but saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, not to mention that even if you save Jinyang, even if you are kind to Li Er, you can still have multiple talismans, and you will not lose.

But if he doesn't go, Li Er will definitely be upset and not good for himself.

Anyway, it's just a trip, it won't take too long, once you find Luo Han Guo and rescue Princess Jinyang, Luo Han Guo's reputation will be opened, Chang'an suffers from a lot of qi diseases, isn't he another way to make a living?

After some weighing, Qin Huaidao found that this matter was harmless to him, so he said: "It's not impossible to go, but after a few days, there is a condition, of course, the conditions will not be harsh, the saint is easy to do, so let's do it, as long as the saint helps find the coal and facilitate the transaction, how about we discuss this matter again?" ”

"Thank you, Brother Qin!" Yu Zhang said with sincere gratitude.

"Go back first, there is something to call."

"Brother Qin, go slowly!"

Yu Zhang looked at Qin Huaidao's back as he left, and there was a little more confusion in his eyes, until Qin Huaidao's back disappeared around the corner before the prescription was withdrawn, and he summoned the guards waiting next to him and said, "Did you hear the conversation just now?" ”

"I hear you."

"Go back and tell my father without missing a word, and convey a sentence - Yuzhang, believe him!"

"Whoa!" The guards hurried away.

……

It will take some time for breakfast, Qin Huaidao found Huang Lao, and a few people accompanied him to the highest point of Qinjiazhuang, standing on the hillside, with an unobstructed view of the surroundings, more than 100 new graves in the back mountain are clear at a glance, and there is a river in the distance, as well as vast paddy fields, and there is no end in sight.

The cool breeze is mixed with the fragrance of grass.

Everyone didn't know what Qin Huaidao was going to do, and they didn't know what to see nearby, so they waited patiently.

After a while, Qin Huaidao pointed to one side and said, "Old Huang, that's our field over there, right?" ”

Huang Lao hurriedly said: "Back to the young master, yes, the dam has been reinforced, the base is high, the dam built by the Wang family has been dredged, and the water storage is more than one meter, do you want to start raising fish." ”

"One meter is not enough, continue to dig deep, the soil is used to build a dam, every ten acres separated into a pond, don't store water first, it looks like it's going to be winter, freeze it first, and then expose it to the sun for a period of time after the beginning of spring, and the poisonous insects will be sunburned to death, frozen to death, and it will be good to raise fish in the coming year."

"How deep?" Huang Lao was a little sad.

"At least seven feet five in total depth."

Huang Lao hesitated, but couldn't help but remind: "Young master, this is a lot of work, and it will take two months to mobilize the whole village, and besides, there is no harvest in the second half of the year, what can I take to pay off the silver of the young master, and hundreds of households in the village may run out of grain next year, how can this be good?" ”

"The two taels of silver given by each household should be compensated, and there is no need to pay it back." Qin Huaidao waved his hand indifferently, and when he saw what Huang Lao wanted to say, he interrupted: "Listen to me first, I am going to burn bricks, I need manpower, pay by piece, how many bricks can an adult man make in a day?" ”

"I haven't done it, I don't know, who of you knows?" Huang Lao looked at the people behind him.

One person said: "Young master, I used to work for people for a short time, and at night I used water and mud to make clay, and during the day I made bricks, and I made molds made of wooden boards, and the clay was smashed into them, and I could produce two bricks at a time, and two hundred bricks a day was no problem, and I could make three bricks at the same time with great strength." ”

"How much does it cost?"

"Ten wen a day, one meal, the bitterness is a little harder, but the salary is a lot, you can buy several buckets of brown rice, but unfortunately this kind of work is not commonly used, and there are many people who do it, and you can't get a few times."

Qin Huaidao quickly calculated in his heart, a person makes two hundred bricks a day, five days is a thousand, just enough to burn a large kiln, ten wen a day is only fifty wen, and immediately asked: "What do you call uncle?" ”

"If you can't afford the honorific title of the young master, just call Niu San'er." The other party hurriedly said.

"Uncle Niu, since you have done this kind of thing, give you a tael of silver to teach everyone, in addition, I have seen it on the other side of the mountain, the yellow clay can be used, and the men, women and children of the whole village are moving, two things, one, continue to dig deep into the field, and the dam is surrounded by a pond, and the two taels of silver are considered wages, and two, make bricks, according to what Uncle Niu just said, ten wen a day, five days can make a thousand bricks, fifty wen wages, a thousand bricks, I will give a hundred wen, three meals, and meat for a meal, how about it?"

"It's too much, it's too much." Huang Lao hurriedly said.

"Yes, it's too much, the young master is merciful, we can't be shameless."

"As long as you take care of three meals, don't say that there is meat, we will do it without meat, and we don't need to be paid."

Everyone said one after another, as if they had been humiliated.

Qin Huaidao looked at everyone, secretly sighed, how simple the hearts of the people, raised his hand and pressed down, signaled quiet, and said: "As long as it is not too little, then it is decided, I am your young master, this matter is up to me, from tomorrow, when will Tianba be dug and who will dig it, you will discuss." ”

"Thank you, Young Master, for your grace!" Everyone shouted excitedly, excited, not to mention two taels of silver, you can still earn 100 wen in five days, and 600 wen a month, where can you find such a good thing? If you do it fast and do more, won't you make more money?

At this moment, everyone's minds came alive.

Niu San'er proposed: "Young master, we can carry water and good clay early in the morning, it is better to put the clay away, just in the morning to build the dam, women, children and the elderly can continue to use more clay for backup, in the afternoon and evening we can make bricks, without delay." ”

"Uncle Niu is wise, you need a lot of molds to make bricks, Uncle Zhou, you are a carpenter, you can live, at least a thousand sets of molds, give you ten taels of silver, no matter how you do it, can it be completed in three days?"

"No problem! The mold is a tool for making bricks, and you can still ask for silver? We can't afford to lose this person, there are trees in the back mountain, and the production is simple, let's do it ourselves, and we can do it in one day. ”

"It's okay, but the quality must be guaranteed, the size must be the same, the silver will be used to sell meat, improve everyone's life, starting tomorrow, the whole village will eat in a unified manner, and three meals will be all-inclusive." Qin Huaidao was also not polite, so as not to be born.

"Thank you, young master!" Everyone shouted from the bottom of their hearts, excited, without having to cook, wouldn't they be able to free up more time to work and earn more silver?

At this moment, there is light in everyone's eyes, as if they see the hope of life, and they are full of energy.
