Chapter 678: Washing Horses
Everyone has a love for beauty, and Zhao Hu is even more.
So in the evening, Zhao Hu rushed over to have dinner with Zhao Hanzhang.
Even Zhao Song came to see the excitement with his son, so what was originally just an ordinary dinner for Wei Jue and Wang Yu became a small dinner.
Fortunately, Zhao Hu didn't come empty-handed, he always disliked Zhao Hanzhang for not eating delicious food, and blindly frugality, so he brought good wine and good food when he came.
Everyone sat down separately, and Zhao Hu asked Wei Jue proudly: "There are no such dishes in the south, right?" ”
Wei Jue glanced at it and nodded, "Yes, the south is still mainly cooking and frying, and it is rare to see such dishes." I heard that Yuzhou has a new kitchenware, which is an iron pot, and cooking food in an iron pot has a unique flavor. ”
Zhao Hu said: "This is the dish made by the iron pot, Sanniang is other general, but there is still some talent in eating, she has come up with many ways to eat, I have tried them one by one, and now it is very popular in my restaurant, if Wei Gongzi feels that her chef does not suit the taste, you can go to my restaurant to eat." ”
If Wei Jue was willing to go, he could definitely rob the restaurant opposite, no, the business of the entire street restaurant.
Hmph, Yu Saburo still wants to fight in the ring with him, and he doesn't look at his bear-like appearance, is it worthy?
Wei Jue did not respond immediately, but looked at Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "Seventh Uncle Ancestor, we are going to leave for Luoyang the day after tomorrow." ”
She also asked, "Do you want to go back with us?" ”
"Don't go," Zhao Hu is not stupid, he will be cheated once, what will happen if he is cheated again?
Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "Seventh Uncle Ancestor, now is the time to sow winter wheat, and it will not be long before this wave of farming will end, and then the people will be idle at home and have nothing to do, it is a good time to spin and weave." ”
She said: "You also know that our yamen has limited manpower, although we can organize people with a little effort, but we are not as good as our uncles, if you are willing to go, the people of Luoyang will be happy, and you can also make a lot of money." ”
Zhao Hu sneered and said: "You yamen have to keep an account first to pay that little salary, and only give the money when the cloth is sold, and if you wait for so long, they will naturally be unable to do anything." ”
The checkout cycle is too long, and he is doing business with the yamen, even if Zhao Hanzhang has a high reputation, the people are still a little frightened, and feel that they are doing day work, so they are naturally not enthusiastic enough, but they don't delay the progress.
If the yamen asked them to spin and weave, the efficiency was one hundred, then Zhao Hu asked them to spin and weave, it was one hundred and twenty.
Although Zhao Hu has a lot of problems, a lot of requirements, and always wants to push the price down, he never owes everyone's wages, and can basically deliver the goods with one hand and pay the money with the other, so the people of Luoyang still like to do business with this seventh master who is not very easy to talk.
Zhao Hanzhang also wants to continue to pit people to Luoyang and contribute to Luoyang's economic construction.
But Zhao Hu doesn't like to endure hardships, and he doesn't like to suffer losses, so he directly raised his hand and refused to discuss this issue with Zhao Hanzhang again, he still looked at Wei Jue with a smile, and dug her corner in front of Zhao Hanzhang, "Wei Gongzi, Luoyang is not the same as in the past, most of the city has been burned, all of it is ruins, you will suffer if you go there, it is better to stay in Chen County, this is now the seat of Yuzhou governance, and it is the most stable and prosperous place except for Xiping." ”
Zhao Hanzhang: "...... Seventh Uncle Ancestor, Luoyang City was only partially burned in the north of the city, where was most of it burned? ”
Wei Jue frowned slightly and asked, "Was it burned in the Battle of Luoyang?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang nodded: "Yes, Liu Cong set the fire when he escaped from Luoyang." ”
Wei Jue hurriedly asked, "What about the people?" ”
He said: "We escaped from Luoyang behind the King of the East China Sea, and since then we have been wandering, and there is no news on the road, and the true and false news are mixed, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false news. ”
Zhao Hanzhang briefly introduced the current situation in Luoyang.
Wei Jue listened and sighed: "Luoyang is a big city, even if you can only restore half of its former prosperity, according to Luoyang's geographical advantages, you can stop the Xiongnu going south, and Yuzhou will be safe from now on." ”
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's just that this matter is difficult, and you still need your help from the virtuous." ”
Wei Jue took advantage of the situation and asked, "What can I help you?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "I want to ask my son to be my horse washer, I don't know if my son is willing or not." ”
Washing horses is an official position that masters the books and gives political opinions after observing the government, and it is also an official who arranges the inspection before the chief official travels, so in the past, washing horses was also called the first horse.
At least the Qin period and the past were called the first horses, I don't know if the later generations remembered it wrongly, and it became a horse wash from the Han Dynasty.
This official position is not low, from the fifth grade, comparable to a state and county.
Wei Jue took a sip.
Wang Yu, who was sitting on the side, was envious, but he knew that this envy would not come, Wei Yu was not only good-looking, but also really talented.
He has a lot more knowledge in his stomach than him, and on the way to study, Wang Yu and his father Wang Ji are not very proficient, so he bows his head and drinks to hide his envy.
Seeing them talking about political affairs, Zhao Hu was not very interested in looking away and listened boredly.
Wei Jue and Zhao Hanzhang talked more and more speculatively, if it wasn't for the darkness of the night, Zhao Song, Zhao Hu and others also said goodbye, and Zhao Hanzhang was a woman, Wei Jue must pull her to talk all night.
Wei Jue got up and retired regretfully, Zhao Hanzhang sent people to the door of the hall, and said with a smile: "Uncle Cousin is not in good health, you should rest early, but don't stay up late when you talk about sex, it's very sad." ”
Wei Jue responded with a smile, but he couldn't suppress the provoking talk, he turned his head and said to Wang Yu: "Zhao Hanzhang is really talented, she has the appearance of a hegemon." ”
Wang Yu looked shocked and confused, "Huh? ”
Wei Jue calmed down and talked about a little less, "That's it, let's go to sleep, let's go see Chen County tomorrow." ”
But after washing, he lay on the bed, Wei Jue couldn't sleep, he lay down for two quarters of an hour, and finally he gave up falling asleep and walked out directly with his clothes on.
He didn't do anything, just walked slowly around the yard, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, full of thoughts.
Thinking about it, by the time he came back to his senses, he had already walked out of his guest courtyard and approached the main courtyard.
When Wei Jue saw his position, he shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and was about to go back, when he saw that there was still a light on in a courtyard next to him.
It's a lot of time from the main courtyard, and the people who live here ......
Wei Jue couldn't help but walk in and asked softly, "This is Fu Gongzi's residence?" ”
Fu An, who was dozing off against the door, woke up suddenly, quickly wiped the corners of his mouth, and immediately got up after confirming that he was not drooling, "Yes, why did Wei Gongzi get here?" ”
Fu Tinghan in the study also heard the voice, and curiously opened the door and came out, "Hasn't Gongzi Wei fallen asleep yet?" ”
Seeing him running around with a piece of clothing on, he turned sideways and said, "Please speak in the house." ”
