She knew that she could hide it from Zhao Ming for the time being, and when the iron ore was officially mined, she wouldn't be able to hide it for long.

And she didn't really want to hide it, after all, she used firewood to make iron...... It's too firewood-consuming, and the effect is not good, so she needs coal.

Fu Tinghan has already used the blast furnace to make steel, and the blast furnace has been changed again and again, and now it can be determined.

He didn't interfere in this matter again, but just handed over the craftsman who built the blast furnace and the craftsman who knew how to make iron and steel to Zhao Hanzhang, and then took Zhao Hanzhang's sword to the newly built blast furnace.

The road blacksmith was now sweating and striking iron by the blast furnace.

Outside, it was cold and cold, but inside the house was hot, and although the craftsmen who struck iron felt hard, they did not feel sad.

Seeing Fu Tinghan, all the craftsmen stopped what they were doing and saluted him respectfully.

Fu Tinghan waved his hand absently and handed the sword to the road blacksmith, "Use the steel we made some time ago to beat it again." ”

The blacksmith took the sword with both hands, put the scabbard aside, carefully looked at the back of the sword and said: "This sword is already very good, and its benefits can be called a famous sword, why do you want to fight again?" ”

"It's not as good as steel."

In fact, if he hadn't had enough strength, he would have come by himself.

However, striking iron is also a technique, and it is not enough to have strength.

Fu Tinghan has theoretical knowledge, but his hands-on ability is equivalent to zero, so he can only hand it over to the road blacksmith.

If you want to defeat Yuzhou, Zhao Hanzhang will definitely go to the battlefield in the future, and a sharp sword is the best guarantee he can give her at present.

"If there's any steel left, it's all going to be hammered."

The road blacksmith should go down.

Fu Tinghan inspected the house, and the craftsmen immediately came up and asked, "Da Langjun, the steward asked us to pack up our things, saying that we were going to another place to build a blast furnace, I don't know where we are going?" ”

Fu Tinghan said: "I'll know when you go." ”

The craftsmen hesitated, "Don't you know how far away?" If it's too far, can we bring our family with us? ”

Fu Tinghan didn't answer, but after coming out, he still went to Zhao Hanzhang to ask about it.

Zhao Hanzhang was adjusting the materials and asked people to transport the materials for building the house and the blast furnace over, and said: "The house has not been built yet, and when it is all built over there, I will give priority to arranging for their families to go over." ”

After the winter solstice, the weather is getting colder and colder, and most of the women, children and elderly people in the city are nested at home, while the young and strong people go out of the house one after another to take over the work in the county office.

This time at Zhao's banquet, Zhao Hanzhang sold a lot of glass products, among which the sales of full-length mirrors were the highest.

No man in the Wei and Jin dynasties could refuse a full-length mirror, and if there was, it must be that the other party was not polite.

As a scholar, makeup is the most basic etiquette, whether it is applying powder or dressing, it is important to have a full-length mirror so that they can clearly and comprehensively face themselves.

Not only do they need it themselves, but they also want to bring some to their father, their brother, their uncles and brothers.

Therefore, the full-length mirror from the glass workshop is in short supply.

Ji Yuan had to take the tube to write down their address and the quantity they wanted to buy in advance, saying that they would deliver it to their door when it was ready.

Yes, their service is so attentive.

Because they decided to give away the full-length mirror and buy some food by the way.

Zhao Hanzhang took in too many people, although he had hoarded a lot of food before, but because of the cash-for-work, the grain reserves fell down with a click.

So after the weather became colder and colder, Zhao Hanzhang no longer posted his work, everyone spent the winter at home, and food consumption decreased a lot.

But through the winter solstice banquet, she not only made a lot of money, but also negotiated an agreement with several companies to exchange glass products for food.

As soon as there was a lot of grain in her hand, Zhao Hanzhang's heart became bigger again, so she took advantage of the lack of farm work in winter, and as soon as she returned to the county office, she called all the Li Zheng and the team owners to issue new employment requirements.

In fact, it is still a cash-for-work, but this time it is not food, but money.

Zhao Hanzhangluo listed more than a dozen kinds of work, and the wages for each work day ranged from eight to fifteen yuan, and they were settled once every ten days.

With the money, the people can choose to buy grain with the county government, or they can buy other things, anyway, it is not like before when only food was distributed.

Geli was returning with news, and many people went out to participate in this labor wave at that moment.

Not to mention the owners of the army, the people under their hands are all refugees, homeless and rootless, and they will not let go of such an opportunity to make money.

It's just that the team owners still confirmed with Zhao Hanzhang, "Can they also get paid?" ”

"Of course," Zhao Hanzhang said: "This is winter, and they should have rested, and if they work when they should rest, I will naturally pay them." ”

The team owners breathed a sigh of relief, said they understood, and immediately brought the news back to their respective settlements to tell them the good news.

So, when the guests who came to Xiping were almost leaving, the whole Xiping County moved.

Whether it was the people in Xiping County or the tenant farmers in the countryside, they all followed Li Zheng or the team owner out of the house, and worked while bending their necks to resist the cold wind.

After a few more dryings, the body starts to get hotter and less cold.

The main work of the young and strong in the county is to dig canals, reservoirs and build houses.

In winter, the ground is not very easy to dig, and it has only snowed twice, and the top soil is a bit difficult to dig, and it takes a lot of effort, but as long as they think about the ten cents a day, they are full of energy.

In the four directions of Xiping County, four brick kilns were built and began to deliver the finished bricks to the resettlement sites.

Zhao Hanzhang rode around every day to solve various problems on the spot, and she was moved by her diligence.

She wasn't so motivated to work with a salary before.

However, in this way, the people of Xiping County also quickly became familiar with this "county gentleman".

Ordinary people don't care whether the superior is male or female, as long as they don't live so hard.

For Zhao Hanzhang, who was exempted from their autumn tax this year, although they were a little skeptical about her ability, they were more grateful;

Later, when she paid for work and asked Li Zheng to send the people who had become lonely and widowed in the village because of the chaos to be raised in the county seat Yushantang, everyone began to identify with her from the bottom of their hearts and hoped that she could always be the county magistrate of Xiping County.

After all, it is difficult to meet a county gentleman who can be as kind as her.

To this day, she issued a cash-for-work order in the depths of winter, and the people's reverence for her is rising, and the Zhao banquet has spread her reputation of affection, righteousness and filial piety, and the hearts of the people are completely inclined to her, and they feel from the bottom of their hearts that this is their county king!

As the actual agent of the clan, Zhao Ming noticed the change in Zhao Hanzhang's reputation as soon as possible.

Seeing that she had subdued the hearts of the people of Xiping County in just three months, the little hesitation in Zhao Ming's heart also dissipated.

He convened a clan meeting and said formally: "Let Zhao Kuan prepare to prepare for joining the WTO." ”
