Chapter 83: Finding Mud

However, it can be used as a part of the young and strong to go to the battlefield, but there are only two hundred.

But Zhao Hanzhang was also very satisfied, and based on the map drawn by Fu Tinghan, she drew a circle in the east and a circle in the west, and nodded: "Build two camps in the east and west in these two places." ”

"Arrange the people we brought in these two camps, just in time, the summer harvest is about to begin, and everyone has something to do." Zhao Hanzhang said: "Integrate Che Fu and the others into the ministry, Uncle Qianli, they were also in your charge before, it should be no problem, right?" ”

Zhao Ju said: "No problem. ”

Che Fu and others are Zhao Changyu's subordinates to Zhao Zhongyu, and as soon as Zhao Dian leaves, they are Zhao Hanzhang's people.

Fu Tinghan handed her a piece of paper, on which were strings of numbers, and she looked at him suspiciously.

Fu Tinghan said: "I calculated the material consumption of the people of Quanzhuangzi for a month, this is the lowest number, and this is a conservative estimate according to the training amount of the existing troops, you have to store food." ”

Ji Yuan quickly glanced at it when he heard this, and found that he didn't know any of the words on it, so he couldn't help frowning.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at it, folded the paper and stuffed it into his sleeve, and looked at Ji Yuan, "Mr. Ji, while the news of the war in Luoyang has not yet flown everywhere, and the price of grain is not too high, let's buy as much food as possible." ”

Ji Yuan asked, "Buy it from the grain store?" ”

"No," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Go directly to the grain merchants and the local gentry, no matter what excuse you use, you must buy the most grain at the cheapest price." ”

Although the possibility is not high, Ji Yuan still responded.

As long as it is relatively cheap, if you wait any longer, the news will spread, and as soon as the price of grain among the people rises wildly, it will be difficult for them to buy a large amount of grain.

"In addition to food, there are also iron tools," Zhao Hanzhang said: "They have lost a lot of weapons, and we have collected some homeless people, and we also have to select some suitable people to be incorporated into the department, and there is a lack of weapons." ”

She said, "And horses, you can buy them anyway." ”

Anyway, they are not short of money now.

Her dowry, Ji Yuan brought it over unharmed, so much money, if it doesn't become a material to arm herself at this time, how long will it stay?

Zhao Hanzhang has already decided, "I want to build this manor into a dock fort that is stronger than Zhao's dock fort, and we may live in it in the future, so it must be able to ensure our safety." ”

Ji Yuan's heart was slightly relaxed, but deep down he had some regrets, he thought that the girl was going to rebel.

Ji Yuan took a group of people away, planning to go out for a stroll and come back by buying some food and ironware.

Zhao Hanzhang took Zhao Ju to see the sub-camp.

The east and west camps just guarded the manor in the middle, and the three became horns.

Zhao Hanzhang divided the population into two, almost half of the first battalion, and half of the first and second chiefs were divided into two battalions, east and west.

And Zhao Ju is the team leader to lead them.

However, the camps of the eastern and western battalions were still empty, and they had to build their own houses first.

Zhao Hanzhang pulled Fu Tinghan to find soil suitable for making bricks, and inspected the manor while looking for it, "You have also seen Zhao's dock fort, how do you think my dock fort should be built?" ”

Fu Tinghan asked: "It depends on what your most urgent need is, if it is to block the invasion of outsiders, it should be to build a city wall and use the fortress to resist foreign enemies." ”

Zhao Hanzhang shook his head after thinking about it, "If there is a foreign invasion so soon, then I will not spend so much effort to build the dock fort at this time, I would rather enter the county seat, or directly enter the Zhao clan's dock fort, a natural fortress, saving me so much money and energy." ”

She said: "What I am most anxious about now is to gather the hearts of the people, stabilize the people, and achieve self-sufficiency, after all, although my grandfather gave a lot of money, it is not inexhaustible, I have to achieve self-sufficiency, even a surplus." ”

Fu Tinghan nodded, "That is infrastructure construction, to calm the people's hearts, at present, it seems that as long as they meet their most basic desire to survive." ”

Zhao Hanzhang counted with his fingers, "That is to divide the land, let them harvest in the summer, divide the land and sow seeds, build and distribute houses......"

Fu Tinghan bowed, "Not bad." ”

Zhao Hanzhang looked up and smiled at him and said, "Then let's find soil that can break bricks first." ”

Generally, there is this kind of mud near the gathering place, which is a little sticky, because most of the houses in the north are made of mud at present.

Of course, it's better to use stones, but it takes longer, it takes more effort, and the dirt is good.

Now the houses made of mud are a little low and dim, Zhao Hanzhang decided to improve them, first of all, using mud bricks.

The two of them walked around for half a circle and found it.

Fu Tinghan was not very familiar with this, so he saw Zhao Hanzhang squatting on the ground and digging a hand of mud, pinched it and praised: "This is good." ”

She got up and looked at it, and saw that this piece was a wild land, and there were still a lot of them, so her heart was ready to move, "I've found such good mud, and it doesn't seem good to make a mud house directly." ”

"You're not going to make mud bricks?"

"Originally, I just wanted to smash the mud, but there is so much good soil, it seems too wasteful to just smash the mud, otherwise we should build a kiln factory, right?"

Fu Tinghan turned his head to look at her, "Burn mud bricks?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang nodded.

Fu Tinghan: "Will you?" ”

"No, it won't." Zhao Hanzhang said: "But when I was in the library, I listened to the entire "Heavenly Creation", and I vaguely remember the general practice, I should be able to write it silently." ”

Fu Tinghan: "So ......"

"I need Professor Fu's help to find a craftsman who can burn kilns and build kilns, if not, I can only ask Professor Fu to study it."

Fu Tinghan thought thoughtfully, "It seems that you have to add one more talent reserve and find more craftsmen." ”

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him.

Nowadays, everyone is sleeping in the wilderness, and simple houses are built with wood and thatch, which are not sturdy, and it is essential to build a house if you want to achieve the level of peace.

Not to mention mud brick houses, at least there must be one mud house.

Zhao Hanzhang now has more than 1,000 people in the manor, and there are almost a small county town with a large permanent population, so naturally there are only so many dozens of houses in such a humble state.

But they have limited land, and they can't build randomly, so they have to plan well.

Zhao Hanzhang felt that those who could work harder, so he stared at Fu Tinghan alone.

Seeing that Zhao Hanzhang went to find Fu Tinghan every day, Wang was both sad and relieved, relieved that his daughter had finally opened her mind, and sad about the child's enthusiasm.

So after hesitating, the Wang family decided to teach her daughter, and after she came back from Fu Tinghan again, she grabbed Zhao Hanzhang and said: "Sanniang, A-Niang knows that Fu Dalangjun has a good character and appearance, but you don't have to be presumptuous, you are also very good." ”

Zhao Hanzhang was confused, nodded and said, "I know, I'm fine." ”

"So don't you please him too much, you know?"

Zhao Hanzhang looked at his mother with a shocked expression.

Wang sat down and whispered to her: "A-Niang tells you, this man, you can't be all obedient to them, otherwise they will be accustomed to it, and they will despise you after a long time, you are a girl, you have to be reserved." ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "...... Some time ago, A-Niang told me that girls should be gentle and virtuous, so that I should care more about Fu Dalang. ”

"You've passed that time, you can change the way, and you can't always care about him, and occasionally let him care about you." Wang said confidently: "Listen to me, your father and I are like this, you look at us, never blush." ”
