Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 138 Disaster

Mrs. Wang didn't know that her daughter would get a "Xiping County" when she went out. She felt that when the child came back, the matter would be over.

So as soon as she returned to the manor, she asked, "Where is Mr. Fu Dalang?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "He is still in Xiping County."

She took the opportunity to express her intention to go to Xiping County in two days and stay there for a long time.

Wang was stunned and asked, "Why don't you come back after sending your brothers and sisters home? What are you doing in Xiping?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "This matter is a long story, but I will keep it short in front of my mother. I defeated Xiping County, so Xiping County is mine now, and I have to go back to deal with some things."

It took Wang a long time to calm down, "What do you mean Xiping County is yours?"

But Zhao Hanzhang was no longer in front of her. Seeing that Wang didn't come back to her senses for a long time, she patted her butt and ran to see her glass workshop.

During her absence, the glass workshop continued to operate and produced a lot of beautiful glass.

For the more common works, everyone follows Zhao Hanzhang’s call and calls them glass;

But the more beautiful and artistic works are called Liuli, and they are also given various nice names in detail, which ignites the soul of the craftsman.

Fu Tinghan left several prescriptions. The glazes made based on these prescriptions are all different, and craftsmen can make different shapes according to their characteristics.

However, compared to innovative modeling, craftsmen still hope to create different glass and form different squares.

Because the girl has spoken, if anyone can improve the glass recipe and make more diverse glass, she will not only reward fields and money, but also a house.

So the craftsmen in the workshop were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Of course, no one has succeeded so far.

Seeing Zhao Hanzhang coming, except for the craftsman who couldn't take his hands off, everyone else stopped what they were doing and turned around to salute Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand, telling them not to be cautious and just do whatever they needed to do.

Zhao Cai asked someone to bring up the colored glaze they had made during this period, and there was a box of the best products they had carefully selected.

Zhao Hanzhang picked it up and played with it. It was transparent and clear, like crystal. It was no worse than modern craftsmanship, and the shape was very exquisite.

Even though he had seen it many times, Ji Yuan still couldn't help but sigh, "It's so ingenious. Such things will be highly sought after whether they are sold in the capital or in the Jiangnan area."

Zhao Hanzhang handed it to Ji Yuan, "Sir, if you like it, keep one. The rest, 30% will be sent to Luoyang, and the remaining 70% will be sent to Jiangnan, which can be sold along the way."

Ji Yuan asked: "What will you bring when you come back?"

"Grain, cloth, gold and silver, ironware, and salt," Zhao Hanzhang said, "We have to buy horses. These all require gold and silver."

Ji Yuan: "Why not go directly to the north to exchange?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I'm afraid that they will never come back. Before they are familiar with it, we should use gold and silver to trade with the north. Then try to keep the trading place as close to Yuzhou as possible."

Ji Yuan thought about the current situation and nodded, "The guards needed by the caravan..."

"Calculate the manpower required, and I will send people from the army to you." Zhao Hanzhang said thoughtfully: "This requires two smart and capable people. What do you think of Ji Ping, sir?"

Ji Yuan said: "He is the leader of a team. Wouldn't it be overkill to follow the caravan?"

"These involve our backup, how can it be a trivial matter?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "Let him follow him for a while first, and then replace him with a suitable candidate in the future. The caravan left Runan County for the first time. The person who led the team Not only must you be capable, but you must also be loyal enough.”

Otherwise, if he ran away with his things and people, who would she look for then?

Ji Yuan thought about it. In terms of loyalty, Ji Ping was indeed enough.

"The workshop is still here. This time I brought back a hundred songs. They will stay to protect you." Zhao Hanzhang said: "There is Mr. Tuo here at the manor."

Ji Yuan said there was no problem.

After walking out of the workshop, Zhao Hanzhang remembered something and walked towards the brick kiln. "Suddenly I remembered that a military camp was going to be built in Xiping County, which requires a lot of bricks and stones. I will take a few craftsmen with me later."

Ji Yuan: "Why not burn it here and transport it over? Build another brick kiln workshop..."

"It's not troublesome. As long as you find suitable soil, it's very fast," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Xiping County was seriously damaged and required a lot of bricks and stones. Transporting them is too labor-intensive, and..."

Zhao Hanzhang looked at her vast farm and said, "I want to expand Dongying and Xiying."

Ji Yuan's brows jumped.

Zhao Hanzhang said softly: "If Aoyang cannot be defended, then we must be prepared to resist the enemy in Shangcai and recover Aoyang."

Ji Yuan took a breath, but his eyes were shining brightly. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and whispered: "Don't worry, girl, I know how to do it, and I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Zhao Hanzhang turned his head and smiled at him. Tinghe, who came over to see them, shivered and vaguely saw an old fox and a little tiger.

Zhao Hanzhang saw Tinghe and waved to her.

Tinghe immediately picked up her skirt and ran forward, "Girl, the second lady wants you to go back for lunch. Also, Magistrate Chai is here."

Zhao Hanzhang: "What is he here for?"

The county town she just left in the morning.

Ting He shook his head, "I don't know, the second lady is not good at receiving guests, so she invited people to the front hall, prepared meals, and is waiting for the lady and husband to return."

Zhao Hanzhang and Ji Yuan looked at each other and turned back to the other courtyard.

Magistrate Chai was a little uneasy. When he saw Zhao Hanzhang coming in, he immediately got up and went to greet him, "Sanniang, a disaster is coming."

Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly comforted him, "Speak slowly, what's so difficult?"

"As soon as you left, people from the Governor's Office came to hold you accountable."

Zhao Hanzhang: "... It's just the autumn harvest, and it's not yet time to pay taxes. Even collecting it in advance will take time. He just informed the county magistrate, why is he being accused later?"

"Oh, it's not about the autumn tax."

"why?"

"The racecourse," Magistrate Chai said: "They went to the racecourse to pick up the horses, and then they realized that you had asked you to pick up all the mature horses, and what they got was my handwriting. The governor's office couldn't get the horses, so he was furious. Take the horse head and come to me to ask for the horse. Sanniang, look..."

Magistrate Chai looked at Zhao Hanzhang eagerly.

Last night, Zhao Hanzhang returned the favor to others, but the armaments and war horses he gave her were not returned. He turned a blind eye and pretended not to know, but now when his superiors asked, he couldn't bear it.

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "How much do they want?"

"Two hundred horses."

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows and looked at him quietly.

"It's true. I won't lie to you. Mr. Chang is here. Just ask him."

Zhao Hanzhang looked at Chang Ning.

Chang Ning nodded slightly.

Zhao Hanzhang said quietly: "There are only two hundred horses in the racecourse, let alone raised horses. Is this a lion's mouth, and the horses that come out have to be doubled?"

Magistrate Chai lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
