Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 222 Reputation

   Knowing this, she can hide it from Zhao Ming temporarily. When the iron ore is officially mined, she won't be able to hide it for long.

   And she didn't want to hide it very much. After all, using firewood to make iron... It takes too much firewood and the effect is not good, so she needs coal.

  Fu Tinghan has already used the blast furnace to produce steel, and the blast furnace has been changed again and again, and now it can be confirmed.

   He didn't intervene in this matter anymore, he just handed over the craftsmen who built blast furnaces and those who knew how to make iron and steel to Zhao Hanzhang, and then took Zhao Hanzhang's saber to the newly built blast furnace.

   The road blacksmith was sweating all over at the blast furnace.

  It was cold in the winter and twelfth lunar month outside, and it was freezing cold, but the house was hot. Although the ironsmiths felt hard, they did not feel sad.

   Seeing Fu Tinghan, all the craftsmen stopped their work and bowed respectfully to him.

  Fu Tinghan waved his hand indifferently, and handed the sword to Blacksmith Road, "Use the steel we forged some time ago to strike it again."

The blacksmith Lu took the sword with both hands, put the scabbard aside, looked behind the sword carefully, and said, "This sword is already very good, and its benefits can be called a famous sword, why do you have to fight it again?"

   "Not as good as steel."

   In fact, if it wasn't for his lack of strength, he would have come by himself.

   But blacksmithing is also a skill, not just a matter of strength.

   Fu Tinghan has theoretical knowledge, but his hands-on ability is equivalent to zero, so he can only leave it to the blacksmith.

   To conquer Yuzhou, Zhao Hanzhang will definitely go to the battlefield in the future. A sharp sword is the best guarantee he can give her at present.

   "If there is any leftover steel, make it into a gun head."

   Road blacksmith should get off.

  Fu Tinghan was patrolling the house, and the craftsmen immediately came up and asked, "Darlang-Jun, the steward asked us to pack up and said that we are going to build a blast furnace in another place. I don't know where to go?"

  Fu Tinghan said: "You will know when you go."

  The craftsmen hesitated, "Don't you know how far? If it's too far, can we bring our family?"

   Fu Tinghan didn't answer, but after he came out, he still went to Zhao Hanzhang to ask about it.

   Zhao Hanzhang was adjusting the materials and asked people to transport the materials for the construction of the house and the blast furnace. He heard the words: "The house has not been built yet. When it is built over there, I will give priority to arranging their families to go there."

  After the winter solstice, the weather is getting colder and colder. Most of the women, children, and the elderly in the city are staying at home, while the young and strong go out of their homes one after another and go to work after picking up jobs in the county yamen.

   This time at the Zhao family banquet, Zhao Hanzhang sold a lot of glazed products, among which full-length mirrors sold the most.

   No man in the Wei and Jin Dynasties can refuse a full-length mirror, if there is, it must be because the other party is rude.

  As a nobleman, makeup is the most basic etiquette. Whether it is applying powder or dressing, it is important to have a full-length mirror so that they can clearly and fully face up to themselves.

   Not only they need it, they also want to bring some for their father, their brother, their uncles and brothers.

   Therefore, the full-length mirrors from the Liuli workshop are in short supply.

  Jiyuan had to take the tube to write down their address and the quantity they wanted to buy, and said that they would deliver it to the door when it was done.

   Yes, their service is so attentive.

  Because they decided to send out the full-length mirror and buy some food along the way.

   Zhao Hanzhang took in too many people. Although he had hoarded a lot of food before, because of the work-for-relief, the food reserves fell down.

   So after the weather got colder, Zhao Hanzhang stopped posting jobs, everyone spent the winter at home with cats, and food consumption was reduced a lot.

   But through the winter solstice banquet, she not only made a lot of money, but also negotiated an agreement with several companies to exchange glass products for food.

   As soon as there was more grain in her hand, Zhao Hanzhang's heart grew stronger, so when there was no farm work in the winter, as soon as she returned to the county government office, she called all the team leaders from all over the country and issued new labor requirements.

   In fact, it is still cash-for-work, but this time it is not food, but money.

   Zhao Hanzhang Luo listed more than a dozen types of jobs. The wages for each type of work ranged from eight to fifteen cents a day, and the settlement was once every ten days.

   After taking the money, the people can choose to buy food with the county government, or they can buy other things. Anyway, it is not like only food is distributed before.

   Every li is going back with the news, and many people went out to participate in this labor wave.

Not to mention the    army team leaders, the people under them are all refugees they take in, they are homeless and have no roots, and they will not miss such an opportunity to make money.

   It's just that the team owners decided with Zhao Hanzhang, "Can they also get paid?"

   "Of course," Zhao Hanzhang said: "It's winter, and they should have a rest. When they work when they should be resting, I will naturally pay them wages."

The    team owners breathed a sigh of relief, expressed their understanding, and immediately brought the news back to their respective resettlement sites to tell them the good news.

  So, when the guests who came to Xiping had almost left, the entire Xiping County moved.

  Whether it is the people in Xiping County or the tenant farmers in the countryside, they all follow Lizheng or the team leader to go out, hunching their necks to resist the cold wind while working.

  Wait a few more times, and the body will start to get hot and not so cold.

  The main work of the youths in the county is to dig canals, reservoirs and build houses.

  The soil in winter is not very easy to dig, and only two snowfalls have fallen. The top soil is a little difficult to dig, and it takes a lot of effort, but as long as they think about the daily wages of ten cents, they are full of energy.

   In the four directions of Xiping County, four brick kilns were built, and the bricks were transported to the resettlement sites.

   Zhao Hanzhang rode a horse around every day and solved various problems on the spot. She was moved by her diligence.

   She was not so active when working with wages before.

   But in this way, the people of Xiping County also quickly became familiar with this "County Lord".

   Ordinary people don't care whether the superior is male or female, as long as they don't live so hard.

   For Zhao Hanzhang, who was exempted from their autumn tax this year, although they doubted her ability, they were more grateful;

Later, when she offered relief for work and asked Li Zheng to send the orphans in the village due to the rebellion to the Yushan Hall in the county town to raise them, everyone began to recognize her from the bottom of their hearts and hoped that she could continue to be Xiping. county magistrate.

   After all, it’s hard to meet a magistrate who can be as kind as her.

To this day, she issued a work-for-work relief order in the deep winter, and the people's admiration for her has risen steadily. In addition, the Zhao family banquet has spread her reputation of being affectionate, righteous, and filial, and the hearts of the people have grown. I am completely inclined towards her, and I feel from the bottom of my heart that this is their county king!

   As the actual agent of the clan, Zhao Ming immediately noticed the change in Zhao Hanzhang's popularity.

   Seeing that she conquered the hearts of the people in Xiping County in just three months, the hesitation in Zhao Ming's heart disappeared.

   He held a clan meeting and said formally: "Let Zhao Kuan prepare to join the WTO."

See you tomorrow
