Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 83 Looking for Mud

However, there are only two hundred pieces that can be used as a part for young men to go to the battlefield.

But Zhao Hanzhang was also very satisfied. Using the map drawn by Fu Tinghan, she drew a circle on the east side and another circle on the west side. She clicked and said: "Build east and west camps at these two locations."

"Arrange all the people we brought here in the east and west camps. It just so happens that the summer harvest is about to begin and everyone has something to do." Zhao Hanzhang said: "Put Che Fu and others ten people into the unit. Uncle Qianli , you were in charge of them before, so it should be fine, right?"

Zhao Ju said: "No problem."

Che Fu and others are Zhao Changyu's subordinates to Zhao Zhongyu. Once Zhao Dian leaves, they will become Zhao Hanzhang's people.

Fu Tinghan handed her a piece of paper with a series of numbers on it. She looked at him doubtfully.

Fu Tinghan said: "I calculated the monthly material consumption of all Zhuangzi people. This is the lowest figure. This is a conservative estimate based on the training volume of the existing team. You have to stock up on food."

When Ji Yuan heard this, he quickly glanced at it and found that he didn't recognize any of the characters on it, and couldn't help but frown.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at it, folded the paper and stuffed it into his sleeve, and looked at Ji Yuan, "Mr. Ji, before news of the war in Luoyang spreads everywhere and the price of food is not too high, try to buy as much food as possible."

Ji Yuan asked, "Buy with the grain store?"

"No," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Go directly to the grain merchants and local gentry. No matter what excuse you use, you must buy the most grain at the cheapest price."

Although the possibility was low, Ji Yuan still agreed.

As long as it is relatively cheap, if they wait a little longer and the news spreads, and the price of food among the people skyrockets, it will be difficult for them to buy a large amount of food.

"In addition to food, there are also iron tools," Zhao Hanzhang said: "They lost a lot of weapons. In addition, we have gathered some refugees, and we have to select some suitable people to join the army, so we lack weapons."

She said: "There are also horses, if you can buy them, buy them."

Anyway, they are not short of money now.

Ji Yuan had brought her dowry over safely. How long could she keep so much money if she didn't turn it into materials to arm herself now?

Zhao Hanzhang has already decided, "I want to build this manor into a fort that is stronger than Zhao's Wubao. We may live here in the future, so it must be able to ensure our safety."

Ji Yuan felt relieved a little, but deep down he felt a little regretful. He thought the girl was going to rebel.

Ji Yuan took a group of people away, planning to go out for a walk and buy some food and ironware.

Zhao Hanzhang took Zhao Ju to see the branch camp.

The two camps on the east and west guard the manor in the middle, forming a horn-like formation.

Zhao Hanzhang divided the population into two, almost half of the first battalion, and half of the troops of the first and second commanders were divided into the east and west camps.

Zhao Ju leads them as the team leader.

However, the camps of the east and west camps are still empty, and they have to build their own houses first.

Zhao Hanzhang took Fu Tinghan to find soil suitable for making bricks. While searching, he inspected the manor. "You have also seen Zhao's Wubao. How do you think I should build this Wubao?"

Fu Tinghan asked: "It depends on what your most urgent need is. If it is to prevent the invasion of outsiders, then it should be to build a city wall and use a fortress to resist foreign enemies."

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and then shook his head, "If there is a foreign invasion so soon, then I will not spend so much effort building the Wubao at this time. I would rather enter the county seat, or directly enter Zhao's Wubao, a natural fortress. Saved me so much money and energy.”

She said: "What I am most urgent about now is to win over the people, stabilize them, and achieve self-sufficiency. After all, although my grandfather gave me a lot of money, it is not inexhaustible. I have to achieve self-sufficiency, even a surplus."

Fu Tinghan nodded, "That is infrastructure construction. To stabilize people's hearts, it seems that as long as they satisfy their most basic desire for survival."

Zhao Hanzhang counted on his fingers, "That is to divide the land, let them harvest in summer, sow the land, build and distribute houses..."

Fu Tinghan nodded, "Not bad."

Zhao Hanzhang raised his head and smiled at him and said, "Then let's find some soil where bricks can be thrown."

Generally, there is this kind of mud near the gathering place, which is a little sticky, because most of the houses in the north are made of mud.

Of course, using stone is better, but it takes longer and requires more effort, and dirt is also good.

Nowadays, the houses made of mud are a bit low and dark. Zhao Hanzhang decided to improve them. The first thing was to use mud bricks.

The two of them found it after wandering around for half a circle.

Fu Tinghan was not familiar with this kind of thing, so he saw Zhao Hanzhang squatting on the ground and digging a hand of mud, squeezing it and saying with appreciation: "This is good."

She stood up and took a look, and saw that this area was a wilderness, and there was a lot of it. Her heart started to beat, "I have found such good mud. It seems not good to just use it to make a mud house."

"Aren't you going to make mud bricks?"

"Originally I just wanted to smash mud bricks, but with so much good soil, it seems too wasteful to just smash mud bricks. How about we build a kiln?"

Fu Tinghan turned his head and looked at her, "Burning mud bricks?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded.

Fu Tinghan: "Can you do it?"

"No." Zhao Hanzhang said: "But I listened to the entire "Tiangong Kaiwu" when I was in the library. I still vaguely remember the general method. I should be able to write it down silently."

Fu Tinghan: "So..."

"I need Professor Fu's help to find craftsmen who can burn and build kilns. If there are none, I can only ask Professor Fu to do some research."

Fu Tinghan said thoughtfully, "It seems that you need to add one more person to your talent pool and find more craftsmen."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him.

Nowadays, everyone is sleeping in the wild and living in simple houses made of wood and thatch. They are not sturdy. If you want to live in peace, building a house is essential.

Not to mention mud brick houses, at least there must be one mud house.

Zhao Hanzhang now has more than a thousand people in the manor, almost a small county with more permanent residents. Naturally, it can't be so shabby with only a few dozen houses.

But their land is limited and they cannot build randomly, so they have to plan carefully.

Zhao Hanzhang felt that those who could work had more work, so he watched Fu Tinghan work alone.

Seeing that Zhao Hanzhang went to see Fu Tinghan every day, Mrs. Wang was both sad and happy. She was happy that her daughter had finally recovered, but sad about the child's enthusiasm.

So after hesitating, Mrs. Wang decided to teach her daughter. After she came back from Fu Tinghan again, she grabbed Zhao Hanzhang and said: "Sanniang, I know that Mr. Fu Dalang has a good character and appearance, but you don't belittle yourself. It’s also very good.”

Zhao Hanzhang was confused and nodded: "I know, I'm fine."

"So you don't want to please him too much, you know?"

Zhao Hanzhang looked at his mother in shock.

Wang sat down and taught her in a low voice: "I'm telling you, this man, you can't be completely obedient to them, otherwise they will get used to it and will despise you over time. You are a girl. You have to be more reserved.”

Zhao Hanzhang: "...some time ago, my mother-in-law told me that girls should be gentle and virtuous, and asked me to pay more attention to Fu Dalang."

"You have passed that period. You can change your approach. You can't always care about him and occasionally let him care about you." Wang said confidently: "You are right, you and I are right." Father, this is the case. Look at us, we never blush."

I'm really sorry. I'm not in a good mood today. I'm not feeling well and I'm not in a good mood, so I only have one update. See you tomorrow.

Hope everyone is safe and healthy
