Chapter 147: Yushan Hall
Zhao Hanzhang ran to the outskirts of the western part of the city, of course, she was not the only one, she also brought all four horse heads.
Looking at the endless, overgrown wilderness, Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and said, "This is our horse farm in the future." ”
The horse's head looked at it with its mouth wide open.
"Of course, it can't be called a horse farm," except for the qualifications granted by the imperial court, no one among the people can raise horses privately, and mark the horse farm openly, isn't it waiting for the people from the yamen to come up and check it?
Therefore, Zhao Hanzhang said: "This is called a ranch!" ”
Ma Tou swallowed and asked, "Just grazing like this?" ”
He looked down at the weeds at his feet, touched them, shook his head, and said, "There are many grasses here that are not suitable for horses, but they are good for raising cattle." ”
Zhao Hanzhang looked down at the green grass and felt heartache, "It's a pity that we have few cattle, so much grass is wasted." ”
Wei Ma Tou: ...... It's just weeds, but there is no need to be so distressed, there is not much else in the field, and the grass for the cows to eat is still enough.
Wei Matou has raised horses for many years, very experienced, he looked at the soil under his feet, and rode a horse to run around the area, ran back after a long time, dismounted and Zhao Hanzhang said: "Girl, this piece of land can be opened out to plant beans, horses should be raised, there is no need to eat beans, that piece is mostly raw land, we can remove some weeds, and then plant grass, and then plant some every year, so a few years, the number of this piece of grass has come up, and it should be able to raise three or five hundred horses." ”
Zhao Hanzhang's eyes lit up slightly, "Okay, just do as you say, where do you think the stables should be built?" ”
Wei Matou pointed in a direction and said, "It's best there, it's also close to the water source, and it's easier for us to get water." ”
Zhao Hanzhang and them went up to take a look, and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, when the autumn harvest is over, I will let people build a horse house for you, open up the wasteland, and remove weeds at the same time, and strive to open the horse farm, oh no, it is a pasture before the spring of next year." ”
Wei Matou asked, "When will the foal be delivered?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Soon, you guys should prepare first." ”
Ji Yuan contacted three horse dealers through Wei Matou and Chai County Order, and placed a total order for one hundred and twenty-eight horses, of which thirty were underage foals, but only a deposit was given, and the horses could be transported later.
Ji Yuan said that this is already the limit of the three horse merchants, and no matter how much they want, they can't give it up.
And they haven't been in touch with Liu Kun yet.
Zhao Hanzhang rode back to the county seat, and before he arrived at the county office, he saw Fu Tinghan standing on the corner of the street, guarding a bun stall, with more than 20 children lined up in front of him, and he was constantly taking steamed buns from the cage for them to eat.
Zhao Hanzhang dismounted, threw the horse to Tinghe, and came up curiously, "Tinghan, this is ......"
She looked up and down and asked, "You bought it?" ”
"No," Fu Tinghan took an oversized steamed bun to the child, motioned to the next one, and said while handing it out: "The grain I took from the county government was handed over to the store to make, and this relief point was only responsible for distributing some food to the child, and the store could get ten catties of food every day." ”
Sounds pretty good.
Zhao Hanzhang leaned aside and watched him send food, "You come over every afternoon to distribute food?" ”
"No, the official in charge of this part has a stomachache, I'll replace it for the time being." Fu Tinghan finished distributing a cage and was about to replace the next cage, Zhao Hanzhang had already picked up the empty one and put it aside, mentioned the three cages above, and motioned Fu Tinghan to take out the bottom cage.
Fu Tinghan paused, put it on top after taking it out, put a steamed bun in a child's bowl, turned his head and said to Zhao Hanzhang: "I'll do this kind of rough work in the future." ”
"It's okay, I'll do it." Zhao Hanzhang continued to lean on the door panel to watch Professor Fu divide the steamed buns.
As she watched, her gaze followed his movements to the children lining up in front of him, their ragged clothes, some of them not only black in their fingernails, but also dirty faces.
When they got the steamed buns, they didn't immediately stuff them into their mouths, but broke them first, left half of them, and stuffed the other half into their mouths and ate them eagerly.
Zhao Hanzhang stretched out his hand and dragged a child who was about to leave after receiving the steamed bun, and asked, "It's evening, is it time for dinner, who will leave this half for?" ”
The child looked at her timidly and whispered, "Eat tomorrow morning." ”
Fu Tinghan explained on the side: "There is only one meal a day, and there is only one steamed bun for one meal. ”
After a pause, he said, "There isn't so much food in the county treasury, so we have to save it." ”
Now the whole county is working for relief, if you want to get food, you have to work, Fu Tinghan stipulates the amount of food corresponding to the workload, and the food that a Chengding earns every day can feed himself and his two children.
But...... There are still many fatherless and motherless orphans in this county, as well as widows and widows who are only old and weak, so Fu Tinghan can only set up a separate relief point.
But it is impossible to keep them full, and he means that they will not starve to death.
Zhao Hanzhang asked the child, "Where do you live?" ”
The child stretched out his hand and pointed to an alleyway, "Inside." ”
Zhao Hanzhang simply followed in to look, and saw that the place he pointed to had collapsed into a courtyard corner, which was stained with blood, and there were blood-red drag marks on the ground, Zhao Hanzhang asked, "This is your house?" ”
"Yes," the child said as a matter of course, "my father and mother are buried, and this is mine, but they said that it will not be soon." ”
He raised his head and looked at Zhao Hanzhang seriously, "Girl, can the yamen not accept my family." ”
According to the rules, there is no family, and this child is so young that he cannot set up a court, and the yamen will temporarily manage the family's assets for them and return them when they become adults.
But now that the world is chaotic, this thing is given out, and there is basically no possibility of coming back.
Of course, if you don't give it out, this child may not be able to keep it.
Zhao Hanzhang stretched out his hand and touched his head and said: "No, the yamen will keep it for you temporarily, you may not be able to keep this house if you live in it, but in the county office, I promise you, as long as I am still the lord of this Xiping County one day, then this thing county government will only be temporary." ”
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I will build a Yushan Hall, you and other children who have lost their parents will go to live in Yushan Hall, and I will ask someone to teach you to read, and when you reach the age of sixteen, or after you graduate from the school and can do things and make money, the property kept by the Yamen for you will be returned intact." ”
The child was stunned and asked, "Can I read and write even if I am a commoner?" ”
"Of course," Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "Anyone in the world has the right to read and write, as long as you want to." ”
Zhao Hanzhang took his hand, "Let's go, let's find you to recognize your first teacher first." ”
Fu Tinghan saw her coming back with a child, and smiled flatteringly, so she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang shook the child's hand and said: "I want to build a Yushan Hall and another school, these children must be properly arranged, and aren't we short of talents?" They need to develop obscenely, and they can't issue recruitment orders widely, so they can only cultivate themselves, and I think these students are good. ”
