Most houses in the countryside are made of earth mixed with hay, cow dung and the like, and some of the more sophisticated families are made of wood.

But Chang Ning felt that the earthen house was not beautiful enough, and the wooden house was not strong enough, so she wanted to build a two-story brick house.

She once saw a new rural house in 2000 in a virtual world that simulated rural life, and the kind of small cottages with several floors were very much in line with her aesthetics, so she always looked forward to building a house like that in the countryside after she was reborn.

So now that he has a little extra spare money, Chang Ning started to buy bricks and prepare for the repair of the villa.

The two walked for about half an hour before they found a brick kiln at the foot of the cliff mountain, a closed kiln made of green bricks.

A two-meter-high arch was opened on the side of the kiln, and workers were responsible for transporting bricks to and from the kiln, and thousands of green bricks had been placed in the open space outside the kiln.

Before Chang Ning could get close, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him, and then Han Yuyuan blocked in front of Chang Ning.

Chang Ning looked at his back and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Han Yuyuan said angrily: "You go back to the official road and wait for me, and I will talk about buying bricks." ”

"Don't!" Chang Ning did not follow: "I want to go into the cave to see their ancients...... How the workers make bricks by hand. ”

"No way!" Han Yuyuan said resolutely: "You can't go over. ”

Chang Ning also felt a little angry in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of wind Han Yuyuan was pulling again.

Not far away, a brick kiln worker shouted at them: "Are the guests over there here here to buy bricks?" ”

Hearing this, Chang Ning immediately bypassed Han Yuyuan and went out from behind him, "Yes, yes, yes, we are here to buy bricks!" ”

"Ouch, my mother-in-law!"

When the worker saw Chang Ning, he was so frightened that he hurriedly clasped his hands on his chest and looked left and right to find shelter.

Chang Ning found that almost all the workers in the brick kiln were naked, and some of them only wore pants on their lower bodies.

Han Yuyuan pulled her into his arms with a gloomy face, blocking her vision with his strong chest.

"Still watching?"

A cold tone floated overhead, and Chang Ning replied timidly: "Don't look at it." ”

Although this visual impact is nothing to Chang Ning, after all, modern men's and women's pools wear much less than this, but now it is ancient, and staring at men will be included in the ranks of immorality.

It's just that her sentence "don't read it" is indeed mixed with ten percent sincerity.

The chest covered in dust is really boring to look at, and it is not as tempting as Han Yuyuan.

Chang Ning took the opportunity to poke the flesh wall in front of him, the strong and elastic pectoral muscles are not as good as that?

Han Yuyuan held her restless hand, and his tone softened slightly, "Go and wait for me on the official road, I'll talk." ”

"Okay, remember to bargain, I want 40,000 bricks."

"Okay."

Chang Ning walked two steps and turned back to hand him a money bag, and advised: "Remember to let them deliver it to your door." ”

"Okay."

After making sure that Chang Ning obediently left the area around the brick kiln, Han Yuyuan turned around and went back to find the worker hiding behind the brick wall.

"I'm sorry, but how do you sell this brick?"

The worker walked out, with some embarrassment on his face: "I'm sorry just now, I didn't know that brother, you brought the girl ......"

Han Yuyuan replied coldly, "It's okay. ”

Seeing that Han Yuyuan didn't want to mention this, the worker immediately changed his words: "The price of this green brick is too set by adults, and ordinary people buy it for a penny." ”

The firing process of green bricks is cumbersome and expensive, and the general supplier Jia Quangui sells them at the price of three cents and two bricks.

There are very few ordinary people who are willing to spend money to buy green bricks, so Taishou gave ordinary people a preferential price.

Liangcheng's Taishou Han Yuanyuan naturally recognized him, and when he first saw him, he felt that he was a good official who cared about the people, and with him as the parent official of Liangcheng on the border, he would be able to ensure that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Now it seems that it has lived up to expectations.

"Qinghong Village Village West Changjia ordered 40,000 bricks, when will they be shipped?"

"Forty thousand?" The man was taken aback and exclaimed, "Forty thousand horses is forty taels of silver, and the son is buying it for someone?" ”

Because they abide by the rules set by adults, some profiteers will also find some people to buy green bricks on their behalf in order to save money, but once they find such behavior, they will be punished.

Han Yuyuan said: "Build your own house." ”

The man looked Han Yuyuan up and down, obviously a little unconvinced, 40,000 horses can build a big yard, ordinary people are really so rich?

Han Yuyuan's expression was gloomy, and he didn't have much patience to say: "I sent it to naturally know, if you don't want to do this business, then that's it!" ”

Seeing that he was angry, the worker immediately laughed and said: "Childe is not strange, Childe is not strange, the rules are really here, and he does not intend to offend Childe." ”

It's really not good to eat in the public house!

If he turns a loophole for a profiteer, he will also be held accountable from above.

Han Yuyuan had no intention of embarrassing him, but said: "If you send bricks, you will know that this is a deposit." ”

Han Yuyuan handed over a deposit of ten taels of silver, and then turned around and left in a dashing manner.

It made the man seem to be holding a hot potato, and hurriedly greeted: "Childe, I haven't written a receipt for you yet!" ”

Han Yuyuan turned a deaf ear, he remembered in his heart that Chang Ning was still alone on the official road, and he didn't take the ten taels of silver to heart.

The man was wearing a pair of trousers, and it was not easy to chase after the cold and the abyss, so he hurried back to the brick kiln to find the housekeeper, and gave him a receipt, and planned to hand it over to him tomorrow when the bricks were delivered.

Chang Ning retreated to the official road alone and had nothing to do, so he squatted on the side of the road and ate melon seeds.

The official road here is already relatively close to Liangcheng, and there is an endless stream of carriages doing business and running the rivers and lakes, Chang Ning ate a mouthful of dust, snorted twice in disgust, and then retreated to the bamboo forest and waited.

"It's a good place, you don't have to bask in the sun."

Chang Ning sat down cross-legged, holding a handful of melon seeds in the hem of his clothes, and commented on all kinds of people passing by, but he was also happy to be leisurely.

"Hurry up and go, pretend to be dead!"

A whip fell on him, and someone let out a muffled snort.

Then I heard someone scolding and cursing: "Damn, I'm finally going to Liangcheng, hurry up, or I'll beat you to death!" ”

Chang Ning straightened up and looked towards the source of the sound, where two jailers with knives were escorting a prisoner wearing a flail in the direction of Liangcheng.

The man was dressed in ragged prison clothes and barefoot, leaving a bloody footprint on the ground with every step he took, and his body was whipped to a bloody blur.

The prisoner's flail was affixed with a seal, and Chang Ning knew through the memory of the original owner that it was an exiled prisoner.

In ancient times, if a person was sentenced to exile for a serious crime, he was usually escorted by two jailers, and he suffered all the way, and most people could not get out of exile at all, and they might have contracted the disease and died.

And when he arrives at his destination, all that awaits him is a new round of torture.
