Wei and Jin cooks

The clerk replied: "Because there are many envoys, the coffin shop needs a lot of effort to get the wooden boards together, and because you are from the royal family, you are very particular, so the money is more expensive."

Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and said: "It's just an ordinary coffin, no need to be particular about it."

She frowned, "Is it difficult to put together the planks?"

The clerk nodded, "There have been too many people ordering coffins in the past two days. There used to be twelve coffin shops in Luoyang City, but now there are only four. They didn't have enough coffins in stock, and now there are many coffins waiting for them. Woolen cloth."

Just as Zhao Hanzhang was about to speak, Zhao Erlang rushed in with a proud and aggressive look, "Sister, I have a coffin, I have a coffin."

Zhao Hanzhang's words were stuck in his throat, and he was pulled by Zhao Erlang to look at the coffins placed in the yard. After a rough sweep, there were twenty or thirty coffins.

Zhao Hanzhang paused and asked, "Where did you come from?"

"I asked someone to carry it."

Zhao Hanzhang gave him a slap on the head and asked, "Tell the truth."

Zhao Erlang covered the place where he was beaten and said aggrievedly: "It was brought here. I was patrolling today and saw many people removing door panels, saying they were going to send them to coffin shops to make money. I remembered that I have several coffin shops. There were coffins in the coffin shop, so I asked people to carry them."

He said: "Sister, if you don't want it, I will sell it to a coffin shop to make money."

There were too many flaws, so Zhao Hanzhang decided to ask the key question, "...Do you have a coffin shop?"

"Yes, General Xun said, this city was conquered by us, and it belongs to us. We can occupy all the houses and shops here that are ownerless. I occupied many of them at the time, but later someone I’ve come back to live, but there are still many people who haven’t come back, so aren’t they mine?”

Zhao Hanzhang was speechless for a long time. Under Zhao Erlang's clear eyes, she raised her hand and patted his shoulder, praising: "Well done, but Erlang, that's not yours, it's mine."

She said: "The spoils of war must be handed over to me for safekeeping and distribution. Of course, sister will not treat you badly. Do you have a house you particularly like? I will allocate one for you."

Zhao Erlang grinned, shook his head and said, "Give it all to Sister, I like living in the military camp."

Living at home or in the compound, Mr. Xie would always look for him. In the military camp, Mr. Xie would look for him every other day.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at his good brother with relief, and then looked at the coffins placed in the yard, "Count how much is left, go to the owner-less coffin shop and look for coffin boards, send them to the coffin shop and ask someone to make them. If you have any extra coffins, sell them to coffin shops.”

The clerk agreed, paused for a moment and then asked: "Girl, there are many people in the city who are removing door panels and selling them to coffin shops. Do you want to stop them?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "If they sell their own, don't worry about it, but mine, well, I mean, if they steal other people's, it won't work, and it won't work if they have no owner."

"Yes." The clerk went down to make arrangements.

Zhao Hanzhang grabbed Zhao Erlang who was about to run out again, "Are you still playing with Xun Xiu now?"

Zhao Erlang shook his head, "Didn't Xun Xiu get beaten up by Sister? He was lying on the bed and couldn't get out of bed. It's my turn to patrol today, so I didn't play."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and asked, "How is Xun Xiu?"

Zhao Erlang shuddered and said, "It's so miserable. There's a lot of blood coming out of the buttocks and lower back. He said he couldn't move."

Zhao Hanzhang sneered, could she not know that the soldiers who tortured with sticks were merciful?

That just looks miserable.

However, she still threatened Zhao Erlang and said: "Don't imitate him. He was lucky this time and did not miss the opportunity to fight. If this were during wartime, it would not only be as simple as a spanking, but his head would fall off."

On the way back, Xun Xiu's scouts discovered the team returning to deliver supplies to Shi Le.

The materials for Shile's army were transported by slaves driven by Jie tribe and Xiongnu officials. Xun Xiu discovered that half of the slaves in the team were Han people, so he immediately led his troops to turn around and rob the team.

They didn't have much supplies, but they captured a large number of people.

So the officials who were originally escorting the grain and grass became slaves, the Han people who were originally slaves were brought back and became good men, and the Hu people among the slaves were still slaves.

Zhao Hanzhang was not annoyed that he took it upon himself to rob someone. She was annoyed that he did not return to Beijing on time. Credit is merit and fault is fault, so Xun Xiu was punished and beaten quite badly, compared to Bei Gongchun and Mi Ce. Even heavier.

The coffin business in Luoyang City suddenly picked up, so good that even neighboring states and counties heard about it, so some businessmen shipped coffins to Luoyang.

Businessmen have such a keen sense of smell. In this world, as long as they can exchange money, silk and food, there are always people willing to do it.

When foreign merchants enter Luoyang, they will incur expenses such as food and accommodation.

There was not even an inn in the entire city of Luoyang, so the residents of Luoyang City opened their doors to attract these merchants, charging only a small amount of money.

Some people came to sell door-to-door vegetables with home-grown vegetable seedlings and wild vegetables.

Spring is the time when all things come to life and wild vegetables are at their most delicious. Although the merchants don’t like eating them very much, they are hungry now and naturally want to eat whatever they can, so they unpack their money bags and buy them.

This action fell into the eyes of others. The next day, some people went into the mountains to hunt and began to wander around in front of those houses with game. As a result, the merchants inside did not buy it, but they were bought by a nearby family with a decent family background. Already...

Luoyang City, which had been silent all this time, came to life in a daze.

Zhao Hanzhang was silent after hearing this. She never expected that the economy of Luoyang City started with coffins.

Ji Yuan watched all this and immediately said to Zhao Hanzhang: "Girl, didn't Mr. Erlang occupy several restaurants? You can clean them up to receive guests."

There are at least hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City now. If they "live", business can naturally start.

Zhao Hanzhang, who didn't really worry about these things at first, couldn't help but pay attention to it because he was spending too much money recently. "It's going to be opened. I'll leave it to you, sir. You can choose a few people who are good at doing business and have smart ideas." Bar."

Ji Yuan said: "You can choose from Xiping Academy. Those who are good at science and good at cooking can be given a try. Some of them are in Chen County, which is not far away, but... "

"But opening a store requires capital, girl. Now you have no money in the public account."

Zhao Hanzhang opened his mouth wide, "Didn't I just dig up the treasure my grandfather left in Luoyang?"

Ji Yuan said: "You have to raise so many soldiers and horses, and you have to provide relief to the refugees you brought back. During this period, you just have to buy food and grass. In addition, Mr. Fu has been asking for money. In such a short period of time, he We built brick mills, glass mills, paper mills and soap mills, and also dredged rivers..."

"By the way, he spent one million yuan just to dredge the river." Ji Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Hanzhang and said, "Girl, you only have less than one hundred thousand yuan left in the public account."

It sounds like a lot, but when converted into silver, it's only a hundred taels. She humbly asked: "Then how much is left in my private account?"

Ji Yuan said meaningfully: "This girl is going to ask Tinghe."

Zhao Hanzhang's private accounts have always been managed by Tinghe. All expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation for her, Zhao Erlang and Fu Tinghan were drawn from Tinghe.

See you tomorrow
