After walking a few steps, Zhao Hanzhang turned around, and saw Tinghe and two guards following behind her buttocks, so she waved her hand, "You don't have to follow." ”

The two guards responded, saluted and retired, but Tinghe didn't leave, "Girl, I still have to serve you." ”

"Okay, you can follow." Zhao Hanzhang didn't want the guards to know that she was going to the palace, but she didn't worry about listening to He.

Listening to He's happy response, he followed behind her with great interest, walked for a while, and a team of people came over on the side of the road, Zhao Hanzhang stopped, looked up, and saw Fu Tinghan and Zhao Erlang walking side by side, as soon as he saw her, Zhao Erlang's horse jumped forward excitedly, and rushed towards her over Fu Tinghan.

Zhao Erlang reined in front of Zhao Hanzhang and smiled, his eyes narrowed, "Sister, where are you going?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang reached out and touched the horse's neck and mouth, rubbed its fur soothingly, and then raised his head and said, "Walk around, why are you here again?" There is no meat at home today. ”

"I have," Zhao Erlang took out a fat rabbit with spread limbs from the cloth bag hanging on horseback on the side, and said: "I took someone to cut beans today, and when I saw a rabbit, I held it down, Sister, do you want to eat rabbit meat?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang immediately smiled, looked at him approvingly, and said: "Erlang stretched out his hand to get better and better, handed over the rabbit to the cook, and let him divide it into two parts, one fried and eaten, and the other stewed with vegetables." ”

Fu Tinghan couldn't help but smile when he saw the smile on her face, and got off the horse and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Just go for a walk."

Fu Tinghan handed the horse to the guards behind him, "Let's go together." ”

Zhao Erlang's eyes rolled, he also dismounted, stuffed the horse and rabbit to Lu Hu together, and said, "You bring the rabbit back to the cook." ”

He ran to Zhao Hanzhang's side, looked at them with a blank eye, and wanted to follow.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and waved his hand at the guards behind them.

The people and horses walked cleanly, and only Fu An stayed.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at the three of them and said simply, "Okay, let's go." ”

Only half of the houses are good, and the other half are black and ruined, all of which were destroyed by the fire.

Except for the people who live in Taixue who occasionally take this road, few people come here again, anyway, since the emperor left, Zhao Erlang hasn't been here much.

He looked left and right curiously, and saw that the walls and yards of many houses were overgrown with weeds, spring and summer were the time when the grass and trees were vigorous, these houses were uninhabited, and they were burned by fire, and the grass and wood ashes left behind seemed to be very easy to give birth to grass and trees.

"Sister, will all the houses here be like this in the future?"

"No, when you have money, you can rebuild the house."

Zhao Erlang was already very sensible, and he asked, "How much does it cost?" ”

He said: "We are just building a barracks, and Mr. Xie said that it will cost money. ”

"Didn't the soldiers under your command build the house themselves? There is no need for labor costs, where is the cost? ”

"Wood, stone and bricks cost a lot of money."

Zhao Hanzhang sighed, "You all know that rice, oil, and salt are expensive." ”

Zhao Erlang turned his head and begged Fu Tinghan: "Brother-in-law, you can send someone to build a brick workshop outside Xin'an City." ”

Fu Tinghan: "Isn't there already a brick mill in Xin'an County?" ”

"Their bricks are so expensive, so I don't even ask for green bricks and red bricks, they are all clay bricks."

The so-called mud bricks are bricks made of grass and mud, the cost is much lower, and most of the houses now are made of mud, but they are made of bricks, which will be thicker, better to build, and more windproof.

Not only Xin'an, Gucheng and Luoyang, but now the houses built outside the city are mainly made of this kind of mud brick, which has low cost and high efficiency.

The better green and red bricks were used by the wealthier people.

Compared with the earthy yellow mud bricks, Zhao Erlang prefers green bricks, and it is okay if he doesn't use red bricks, so he and Fu Tinghan proposed, "Brother-in-law, you can open another brick workshop in Xin'an, and I will be cheaper when the time comes." ”

Fu Tinghan shook his head and said: "The workshop has limited manpower, and their brick prices are within a reasonable range, so we don't want to compete with the people." ”

Zhao Hanzhang asked, "How much is it?" ”

Fu Tinghan said with a smile: "Each brick is only half a penny expensive, but they are different from us, they need to pay a part of the money to the local county government to get the land." ”

That's really not expensive.

Fu Tinghan said: "Recently, I am planning to raise the price of bricks in our workshop to avoid competing with the common people for profit. ”

Zhao Hanzhang patted Zhao Erlang's shoulder happily and said, "Yes, I know that I have saved money, so don't be extravagant in the future." ”

He also said: "It's not easy for the people to do some business, and you don't have to complain about the hard money you earn like breaking bricks, but you can't owe them brick money." ”

Zhao Erlang responded and said, "Although Mr. Xie said that it is expensive, I still have this money." ”

I took out a random gem from the loot and exchanged it for copper coins, which was almost ......, "Sister, our jewelry can't be sold, have you sold it?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang was also depressed, "No." ”

The two siblings sighed together.

Fu Tinghan smiled and shook his head, and when he looked up again, they were under the imperial city, and he was puzzled, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Go in and have a walk."

There are soldiers guarding the gate of the imperial city, not many, just two, mainly to prevent thieves from sneaking into the palace to steal things, there are still patrolling people in the city, this time seems to be quiet, in fact, there are still people who will sneak into the palace from various holes.

It's just that whether you can steal something or not is not certain.

Zhao Hanzhang wanted to go in, but although the soldiers guarding the door were puzzled, they immediately pushed open the door and let them in.

Theoretically, she shouldn't have entered, but in fact, there is no place in Luoyang City where she can't go, even beggars can sneak in, let alone her?

Inside the door is a wide straight road, the walls on both sides are towering, and there is a separate road after walking a hundred steps, Zhao Hanzhang introduced to the curious Fu Tinghan and Zhao Erlang, "These two sides are the offices of the officials of the DPRK and China, Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, Shizhong Temple, and the secretary and supervisor all work here." ”

Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan said: "My uncle and grandfather are Shangshu Ling, that is, the head official of Shangshu Province, the Ministry of Industry, and now it is divided into the Ministry of Water, Tian Cao, etc., all of which are under the management of Shangshu Province. ”

Fu Tinghan asked, "What about the household department?" ”

He didn't know much about Dongguan and the Ministry of Water, but he still knew the sixth part of Shangshu, and the history content he had learned in middle school, so even if he rarely came into contact with relevant knowledge after middle school, he still remembered it firmly.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "The household department will be handed over to Ji Yuan." ”

"But the household department is very important, the court is still there, and everyone in the world is staring at me, so I won't announce it for the time being, but just hand over this part of the matter to him."

Ji Yuan has always done this kind of thing, Fu Tinghan nodded, he looked left and right and asked, "Then what are we doing in the imperial city?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang walked to the wall, stretched out his hand and patted the thick wall and sighed: "I feel uncomfortable, I'm too poor, so come in and relax, take a look at the house here......"

Imagine that one day she will no longer have to worry about the office place, and work directly in it.

Anyway, it's to give yourself a shot of chicken blood and encourage yourself.

She sighed: "It's probably the same as people who are trying to make a down payment and take a look at their favorite real estate from time to time to encourage themselves to work harder and save money." ”

Fu Tinghan couldn't help laughing.
