Chapter 183: The Beginning

Zhao Hanzhang went to see Yushantang first, and saw that it was full of people, and he really couldn't vacate a place.

There are more than a dozen children living in one room, and they can't squeeze it anymore.

She walked out of Yuzentang, glanced at the courtyard on the street, and asked, "Is there a courtyard on this street that is vacant?" ”

"Yes," Chen Siniang said: "There are three courtyards that are empty, two of which are relocated by the family, the yard is left for sale by the tooth store, and there is a ......."

She paused and said, "It's the Song family's other courtyard." ”

Zhao Hanzhang directly skipped the Song family's other courtyards and instructed: "Go find the house and look at the quotation of the two courtyards, and buy it if the price is right." ”

Chen Siniang said: "But no matter how cheap the two courtyards are, it takes a lot of money, and now is the time to spend money, and the county government is afraid that they won't be able to come up with so much money." ”

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and said: "Smuggling account, record the house in my mother's name, this courtyard should be borrowed by my mother from Yushantang, let people change the inside of the courtyard, you are allowed to build a few more rooms, and in the future, the two Yushantang will be separated, the boy will live one, and the girl will live one, and you will be easier to manage." ”

Chen Siniang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and responded happily.

As for the quilt and other things to keep out the cold, Zhao Hanzhang looked through the account books of the county government and had to admit that if she took the public account, she really couldn't buy anything.

She handed her back the list of bedding that Chen Siniang had calculated to be added, "Let's also take my private account, wait for my housekeeper to come, I will ask him to buy you enough cloth and silk cotton, you can see who in Yushantang can sew quilts, and if there is not enough manpower, you can find it from the county town." ”

Because of the broken city in Xiping County, many strong men died, and many women became widows, and winter was coming, and they also needed to earn some money.

Thinking that the rebels set fire to the previous army and burned down a lot of houses, and there were also bedding and other items in them, it seems that there are many people who are short of cold protection materials this year.

Zhao Hanzhang immediately returned to the county government to write a letter to Ji Yuan.

She needs to make linen and cotton cloth for the bedding, and the linen is preferably fine linen, as well as various fabrics to protect against the cold.

Zhao Hanzhang sighed while writing, in addition to Yushantang, there are also military camps, they have recruited so many refugees, all of them need winter clothes and bedding, which is a lot of expenses.

Zhao Hanzhang wrote the letter, left the data blank for the time being, and waited for Fu Tinghan to finish the work at hand before he said: "Tinghan, you have to help me calculate the minimum amount of cold protection materials I need to buy this winter." ”

Fu Tinghan glanced at the letter she handed over, searched for it on the table, and found a list for her, "I've counted it all." ”

Zhao Hanzhang looked down and saw that it was listed in great detail, the number of people, the number of winter clothes needed, the number of winter quilts, and even the number of shoes.

Behind it is the cost of materials to make a winter coat, winter quilt and shoes, the price estimate, and finally the total amount.

Zhao Hanzhang: "...... When did you count? ”

"Just now," Fu Tinghan said: "When you go to Yushantang, since the children of Yushantang need bedding, the refugees we accept naturally also need it, the price of all kinds of cloth and silk cotton is taken by Geng Rong, but we take a lot of things, and the price here is high, so I think the price is a little inaccurate, this list is only for your reference." ”

So he wrote directly in Arabic numerals, and he didn't bother to replace them, as long as they could understand each other.

Zhao Hanzhang took this list and pondered, "Such a large number of clothes and quilts can't be made by the ladies in the county alone." ”

Fu Tinghan asked cheerfully: "So? ”

"So I have to see that the fields are right, and that the water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and find some women from the villages below who are good at their craft, and give them the work of sewing quilts." Zhao Hanzhang said: "There is also Shang Cai, there are many people in the city over there, and the speed is faster." ”

Just take this opportunity to let the ordinary people of Shangcai know about Mr. Ji and her Zhao Hanzhang!

Zhao Hanzhang's mind turned around several times, and he made up his mind, and immediately estimated an approximate value according to the list he gave and asked Ji Yuan to buy it.

She glanced at the total price estimated by Fu Tinghan at the end, calculated her private property, and breathed a sigh of relief, her dowry should still be enough.

Fu Tinghan put down the pen, rubbed his wrist, raised his head and saw that she was looking at the list she gave in a daze, as if he knew what she was thinking, Fu Tinghan said: "The county government's paper is about to run out again." ”

Zhao Hanzhang came back to his senses, "How is the paper mill built?" ”

"The workshop is not difficult to build, it has been built according to your instructions, but no craftsmen have been found, not a single one."

Zhao Hanzhang: "If not, forget it, let's cultivate from scratch, choose some loyal people to come out and listen to orders, let's try first." ”

"But the cycle of papermaking is not short, and now we start papermaking, and it is estimated that we will not know the results until after the winter solstice." Zhao Hanzhang picked up the pen and added a few more words to the letter, "I asked Mr. Ji to buy more paper and come back." ”

Mr. Ji received Zhao Hanzhang's letter, saw the list of purchases on it, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, threw the letter aside, and then turned out the dowry list he brought out from Luoyang.

Uncle Cheng waited aside, glanced at the things on the purchase list, and couldn't help sighing, "Sir, can we really afford such a big girl as a girl?" ”

Mr. Ji said: "The girl is lucky, when she was in Luoyang, she exchanged the fields and shops in Luoyang and Chang'an for gold, silver and jewelry in advance, so it is still enough." ”

"But it's only enough for the past two years, and after this year or two, if she still spends so much and has no other input, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sustain it."

Cheng Bo hurriedly said: "We don't have a glass workshop......

"Although Liuli makes money, it still doesn't cost more than it spent, and this thing can be at a high price at the beginning, and then there are more, and the price will naturally come down, and it will be difficult to make money so much."

Ji Yuan tapped his finger on the table, "This can't be done, you can't rely on money to support them, you have to be self-sufficient, and the armament is okay, but it is impossible for so many people to become armament." ”

Ji Yuan asked, "What's going on over there with Chang Ning?" ”

Cheng Bo immediately said: "Mr. Chang has already packed up, and he can leave for Xiping tomorrow." ”

Ji Yuan nodded, "You go with him, and bring some money over, the girl can't have no money in her hands." ”

Cheng Bo should go down.

Zhao Hanzhang was squatting at the door of the barracks with a bowl of wheat rice at this time, and Fu Tinghan squatted next to her, chewing it hard for more than a dozen times before swallowing it.

Zhao Hanzhang sighed while eating, "This won't work, we have to be self-sufficient, I can spend money to buy armaments, but they have to be self-sufficient in the food and clothing of other people, and it is best to leave some for me to raise the army." ”

Fu Tinghan said: "We are doing whatever we think of now, a hoe in the east and a hammer in the west, it is really inappropriate, should we calm down and make a comprehensive plan?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang asked Qiu Wu, "Hasn't Mr. Chang heard any news yet?" ”

Qiu Wu shook his head.
