Wei and Jin cooks

The pillar and a group of people were sent to a wilderness.

They were led here with a rope and looked at the endless wilderness with confused expressions.

Not far away we have a group of people working enthusiastically.

When they saw them, someone immediately came up to take them away. Seeing the ropes tied to their hands, they asked, "Did someone commit a crime?"

"Yes, they are all guilty."

"What happened?"

"This, this, and these two, are lazy and playful, these three are stealing things, and the other three are stabbing children in the head, taking the lead in fights and making troubles. They were all sentenced to ten months of reform through labor." This is Zhao Hanzhang. New county government regulations.

All crimes that do not involve human life will be changed from prison sentences to labor reform, and the sentences will be based on the severity.

Heavy ones still need to be guarded, but light ones don't.

The punishment for pillars is that they do not need to be guarded.

The leader took them down to settle them, and gave them two thatched huts to live in. Then he gave them a lecture, "As you have all seen, our house has not been built yet, so you have to live in thatched huts."

"Because you are committing crimes, you will not be paid for your work here," he said. "The work is a bit heavy. I will ensure that you are well fed. If you work hard, your sentence will be reduced and you can go home early."

"But if anyone disobeys, cheats, cheats, or just runs away, we, the tribe, are not the ones who are doing it." The other party pointed around and said, "Did you see, they are all our girls' people."

"Besides, no one who can be sent here is alone. A monk can escape but cannot escape from the temple, hum!"

No one dared to run.

Zhuzi was filled with regret and cried bitterly.

His crime was not serious, so he was transferred to work in the mill. Others did not have his good luck. I heard that they had to dig mountains, which was quite hard.

Iron ore is a very important thing to Zhao Hanzhang, and there are still some things to be perfected in blast furnace ironmaking and steelmaking, so she and Fu Tinghan came here.

Zhuzi and the others live on the outermost edge, and they don't know that there is an iron mine three miles away from here, where houses have been built and an iron smelting workshop has been built.

The place is heavily guarded and everyone entering and leaving must be strictly checked.

The craftsmen made another furnace of molten iron under Fu Tinghan's guidance. While waiting for the cold cut, Fu Tinghan nodded and turned around to go out.

Zhao Hanzhang was watching people using smelted iron blocks to make farm tools. When he saw Fu Tinghan, he picked up the bamboo tube, unscrewed it and handed it to him.

Fu Tinghan took over and drank all the water inside, and asked: "They have adapted to the blast furnace here, when will we go back?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "Tomorrow."

She glanced outside and said with a smile, "Let's go out for a walk today."

Fu Tinghan didn't want to go. It was winter, it was cold and lonely outside, and the only excitement was the people working. What was there to see?

But because it was Zhao Hanzhang who invited him, Fu Tinghan nodded and agreed.

So the two of them went out for a walk on horseback.

Zhao Hanzhang took him directly to the river, "I'll take you to catch fish. You haven't had a good appetite these days. Let's eat some fish."

Fish in winter...are not easy to catch, mainly because the water is cold and difficult to get into, but they are easy to lure.

Maybe it's because there are few people here. The fish in the river have never seen the complexity of people's hearts, so they are still stupid.

Zhao Hanzhang took out the fishhook that had been set, mixed the bait with the things he took from the kitchen, and threw it into the water.

She kept holding the fishing hook.

Fu Tinghan stood next to her and saw the buoy move. He was surprised and said, "The hook is bitten."

Zhao Hanzhang only glanced at it and then closed his eyes. He listened to feel the tension of the fishing rod in his hand and waited for a long time before lifting the rod.

The fish was very big, so he pulled it back harder. Zhao Hanzhang slipped the fish and slowly pulled it ashore.

Zhao Hanzhang held a grass carp weighing seven or eight kilograms in his hand and was a little confused for a moment, "How to cook the fish?"

Fu Tinghan was not sure: "Boiled or fried?"

Zhao Hanzhang suddenly wanted to eat fish pieces wrapped in flour and fried, so he raised the fish and said, "Let's go to the kitchen to try it."

Instead of going back to the camp kitchen, they went to the kitchen at the outlying settlement.

There is a settlement here for the tribes who work the land. It is also the first line of defense for the iron mines.

Because it is far away from the nearest village, the county government built a workshop directly here.

Because of the iron ore, more and more people will live here in the future, and a mill is inevitable.

Zhao Hanzhang passed by the mill and heard faint cries coming from inside. He couldn't help but be curious, so he put his head in to take a look while carrying the fish.

I saw about ten people inside, either pounding rice or grinding wheat and beans. One of them, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, was pushing the grinder and crying softly.

"Why are you crying?"

Everyone in the mill was startled, and the crying boy was also startled. He recognized Zhao Hanzhang and rushed forward. Fu Tinghan subconsciously pulled her behind him, while Qiu Wu choked and drew out his long sword. .

The boy's knees weakened and he knelt on the ground with a plop, "County, County Lord, I know I was wrong, please let me go."

Qiu Wu breathed a sigh of relief and took his sword back.

Zhao Hanzhang thought he looked familiar, but couldn't recognize him for a while.

Fu Tinghan only glanced at him and said, "He is from Xiajiao Village, and his name seems to be Zhuzhu."

Zhuzi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Langjun has a good memory. My name is Zhuzi."

Seeing Zhao Hanzhang standing aside, he immediately apologized, "The county king has a good memory and he is kind. Please spare me. I don't dare to do it anymore."

Zhao Hanzhang asked curiously, "What did you commit?"

Zhu Zhu wiped his tears and said, "I was just lazy."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Tell me the truth, would you be sent here to work around just being lazy?"

Seeing Zhao Hanzhang preparing to leave, Zhuzhu took two hurried steps, stepped forward and begged: "I, I'm really lazy, and then let Dahua's father do a little bit for me..."

Dahua's father is a fool and not smart, but he works very hard. He basically does whatever others ask him to do.

Then he has a very powerful daughter, Dahua, and because his daughter is so powerful, everyone forgets his name and calls him Dahua Daddy.

When Zhao Hanzhang was in Xiajiao Village, he thought the girl was pretty good. Hearing this, he squatted in front of him and asked, "Then how did you get caught?"

"Dahua knew about it and made a fuss to Li Zheng. She said that if she didn't arrest me, she would file a complaint. Li Zheng arrested me and gave me to the official." Zhu Zhu cried: "County Lord, I will I was lazy once, just once. I wasn't feeling very well at the time, so I asked Big Flower Daddy to help me. Please forgive me this time, I won't dare to do it again."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled slightly and said: "I believe you, but I can't break the rules I set. Since you did make a mistake, correct it first. Don't worry, no one will bully you here. Work hard." , try to go home early."

Zhu Zhu cried again, "But grinding is really hard!"

Zhao Hanzhang reached out and patted his shoulder and said: "I will go fish for you in a while. You can eat some fish soup in the evening. Don't be too sad."

Although Zhao Hanzhang still did not forgive him, Zhu Zhu felt much better when he heard her caring so much.

After leaving the mill, Zhao Hanzhang said to Qiu Wu: "Have someone go to Xiajiao Village to send Dahua and his daughter to the county government. I want to use her."

Such a powerful girl was reduced to digging ditches in Xiajiao Village.
