Zhao Hanzhang handed the official document to Fu Tinghan and said, "This is some official document to be dealt with in Shangshu Province, they can't do it, they have to ask you, I will bring it to you." ”

Fu Tinghan opened it and looked at it, it was all drawings and various technical problems, for example, the newly discovered iron ore in Xiangshan, the craftsmen decided to build a new iron-making furnace and steel furnace according to the drawings given by Fu Tinghan, the iron content of the iron ore over there was not bad, and the calculation could make good steel, but there was a problem in the process of making the furnace, and the Ministry of Industry had sent two experienced craftsmen to deal with it, but I don't know what the problem was, it couldn't be handled well.

Therefore, I can only report to Fu Tinghan.

In addition, a craftsman from Xiping Book Company invented a new printing press, which could be typeset together with movable type to brush out pictures, which meant that they could ask a painter to draw a picture and then print it after combining it with movable type, although it was troublesome, but it meant that in addition to books, they could also print picture albums.

However, the printing press soon appeared to be in a state of paste, and after research, they found that it was a problem with the material of the printing press.

They wanted to try more and better materials, so they applied upward, and the craftsman also asked Fu Tinghan by the way, are there any recommended materials?

Zhao Hanzhang said: "The household department has reported the number of acres of land reclaimed since the beginning of spring this year, the total population and taxes, and I have dealt with them. ”

It's all technical.

Fu Tinghan accepted it, "I'll take care of it and let the guards send you down the mountain." ”

He turned around and brought a stack of drawings, "The farm tools I talked about last time, I compared them with a hoe in the past few days, this is a drawing, you have people make it and try it." ”

"These are iron drills and cranes used to drill wells, and there is a shortage of water in Jizhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou, so more wells should be drilled."

Zhao Hanzhang took the drawings and looked at them: "It's not enough to have something, you have to train craftsmen who can explore water and drill wells, and find a suitable place to dig wells to get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Zhao Hanzhang wrote a line of small letters on the side of the drawing, intending to train a team of talents for water exploration and well drilling.

Fu Xuan sat aside and looked at the two of them in a daze, and found that he couldn't interject at all.

On this mountain, they have to do everything themselves, even if there are a lot of guards who protect them quietly lurking around, so Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan are not idle, they wash rice and cook porridge, and talk about things while adding firewood to the stove.

Before the matter is over, the porridge will be good first.

Zhao Hanzhang took out a food box from the big bamboo basket, which contained a few simple side dishes, and they could eat porridge with side dishes.

"Erlang and Xie Shi have arrived in Chang'an, the people of Chang'an know the news of their grandfather's death, their hearts are saddened, the local scholars want to send some representatives to pay tribute to their grandfather, I agreed, they may come to Luoyang in a few days, and then they will go directly to the mountain."

Fu Tinghan turned his head to look at the tombstone and said: "Grandfather doesn't like extravagance, the road from Chang'an to Luoyang is not close, and it takes time and effort to go back and forth, just this time, don't let them come in the future, it will cost the people and money." ”

Fu Xuan interjected at this time, "Yes, if his old man knew about this, he would be uneasy in his heart." ”

Zhao Hanzhang should be down.

She agreed to the delegates, in addition to mourning Fu Yi, she wanted to take this opportunity to strengthen the connection with Yongzhou, so that the scholars and villagers in Yongzhou could accept her faster, so that Zhao Erlang and Xie Shi's work in Yongzhou would be better developed.

After talking about everything, it was past noon, Zhao Hanzhang went to Fu Yi's tomb to sit quietly, and Fu Tinghan accompanied her.

It was a rare quiet time for the two of them to think.

Here, Zhao Hanzhang thought about Yongzhou the most, before Fu Yi was in Yongzhou, she only gave government orders, and basically would not directly participate in the affairs of Yongzhou, so she did not have much control over Yongzhou.

And now that Yongzhou is managed by Zhao Erlang and Xie Shi, she can not only directly rule Yongzhou, but also change her connection with Xiliang.

The Silk Road has been cut off for a long time, according to the historical inference of later generations, there was cotton cultivation in the Western Regions at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it has not been transmitted to the Central Plains.

Zhang Liang has been helping her find it, but there is no news so far, and she feels that she needs to send her own people to increase the scope of the search.

Cotton, she must find it!

In addition to cotton, there are many species in the West that they need, and the farthest place recorded in the history books is the Persian Gulf, and as long as they cross, they can reach the Roman Empire.

As long as the Silk Road can be opened.

Zhao Hanzhang's heart was surging, but after raising her eyes, she slowly calmed down, suppressed her thoughts, and told herself in her heart not to break down too much, now she does not have the strength to make the Western Regions return to her heart, and she can't open the Silk Road.

You can only find cotton in the Western Regions first.

Who to go to?

Zhao Hanzhang turned over and over the people under him, but he didn't find the right person, alas, it seems that there are still not enough people.

Zhao Hanzhang rolled his eyes, turned his head and asked Fu Tinghan, "How about you say that I set up two big mailboxes in front of the imperial city gate?" ”

Fu Tinghan's mind was still thinking about the stove, and he was puzzled: "Mailbox? ”

"That's right, one, specializing in collecting folk suggestions, not only to brainstorm, but also to collect talents;" Zhao Hanzhang said: "One is for people to avenge their grievances." ”

The more she talked, the more she felt that this method was good, "Maybe you can really find a suitable talent to send to the Western Regions." ”

Fu Tinghan: "Then should other states and counties be set up?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang shook his head after thinking about it, "No, we want to concentrate power in Luoyang, so we only set up a mailbox in Luoyang." ”

Other states and counties are also set up, and the manpower consumed is too great, and the roads that are accessible are too easy, and there will always be people who want to fish in troubled waters.

Fu Tinghan did not object.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at Fu You's tombstone and asked, "Grandfather doesn't object either, right?" ”

The breeze moved slightly, and Zhao Hanzhang said independently: "Look, my grandfather doesn't object either, and this matter is settled." ”

Zhao Hanzhang stayed on the mountain for one night, Fu Tinghan went to cut a lot of wormwood to smoke mosquitoes, and after smoking it once, he also put the excess wormwood next to the fire and let it burn slowly.

He also hung his medicine bag on Zhao Hanzhang's waist, "There are many mosquitoes on the mountain, don't be bitten." ”

Grab Fu Xuan behind his ear from time to time: ......

He couldn't help but ask Zhao Hanzhang, "How is the princess doing recently?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang said: "It's good, but I think of my grandfather from time to time, and then cry." ”

Fu Xuan sighed, "You comfort her more, people will always die, my father expected this day, and he walked peacefully, there is really no need to hurt his body for this, my father will not be happy if he knows it." ”

Fu Tinghan remembered and hurriedly asked, "Is there any news from Shen Ruhui coming back?" Is the person who can control the water in the seclusion in the mountains the Fu family? ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "I haven't heard back yet." ”

Fu Tinghan frowned, "Now that you pacified the Huns, it should have spread all over the world, and we also held a wedding, so if the second uncle is still there, he should be able to hear the news, right?" ”

If they heard the news, why wouldn't they go back to Luoyang?

See you tomorrow
