Chapter 2015

Zhang Tu was responsible for transporting the clay back.

Originally, he was not required to do this kind of work, but what he learned was scouting skills. Qin Sanlang wanted him to run around the Qingniu Mountain Village a few times to remember the terrain near Qingniu Mountain Village, so he asked the soldiers to travel clay.

Qin Sanlang knew that Gu Jinli needed clay, so he was not polite to the Zhong family, and brought back thirty carts of clay for her.

Uncle Mu Tong went to pick it up in person. After seeing so much clay, he was shocked, pulled Zhang Tu, and asked in a low voice, "Is it too much? The Zhong family has no objection?"

Zhang Tu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Uncle Mu Tong. Uncle Lu has gone to investigate. The entire mountain of Qingniu Mountain, including most of the land in Zhuangzi, is clay soil. There is a lot of clay there, and the Zhong family is grateful to the Lord for letting Zhong I have started a porcelain business because I told my lord that until February [-], when the dragon raises its head, we will continue to provide clay for the brick kiln in our guard. During this period, as long as we can transport it, we can transport clay every day. .”

In fact, what the Zhong family is grateful for is not that they have made the porcelain business, but that they are grateful to Qin Sanlang for letting the Zhong family get on with General Jiang.

Besides Xu You, the person with the most ability and the most soldiers in Northwest China is General Jiang... Xu You is very ambitious, and only wants to win over the Zhong family and let the Zhong family be at his mercy, but what the Zhong family wants is the same status allies.

Qin Sanlang asked the Zhong family to catch up with General Jiang, and the Zhong family gave some clay, so he would not feel heartbroken at all.

After hearing this, Uncle Mu Tong felt relieved: "First use the insect-repellent on people, horses, and clay, and then take the clay to the brick kiln."

After the clay was brought back, the relatives had to use abrasive tools to beat the brick embryos. If there were poisonous insects hidden in them, it would be a disaster.Therefore, the madam ordered that all things that enter the guard should be used to attract insects.

You don't need to use too much, just put a small amount of insect attractant on a carriage. If there are poisonous insects, they will naturally crawl out.

"Hey." Zhang Tu immediately asked the soldiers to do it, and took Uncle Mu Tong to meet those families who came to buy green bricks.

Zhang Tudao: "This is the housekeeper of General Situ's family. He came to buy blue bricks to build a house."

Mrs. Situ came to Long'an Prefecture years ago, but now Long'an Prefecture is full of dignitaries from the capital, and the personnel are too complicated. General Situ doesn't want his family to mix too much with those people, so he is in Liuyang Town, Mu County I bought two Zhuangzi and planned to combine the two Zhuangzi and build some houses to accommodate Mrs. Situ, some of the relatives of the soldiers, and the wounded and sick soldiers.

As for why not just buy a house in the county?

The reason is that Muxian is close to Daokougou camp, and now it is almost sold out by various wealthy families and high officials.

"It turned out to be the housekeeper of General Situ's house. I'm sorry to welcome you from far away. I'm rude." Uncle Mu Tong hurried over to salute: "My servant, Wu Mu Tong, is Mrs. Qin's servant, who is in charge of the green brick business for the time being."

Butler Situ smiled and said, "Brother Wu, you are being polite. This time, you will have to work hard on buying the blue bricks."

Uncle Mu Tong: "Situ's family can come to take care of our business and add income to our relatives. We should thank Situ's family, but it can't be called hard work."

It's just that Uncle Mu Tong is a little strange. Yangliu Town is relatively close to Mu County, so why doesn't Situ's family buy green bricks in Mu County?
Butler Situ saw Uncle Mu Tong's doubts, and explained: "There are only two brick kilns in Mu County. Many rich and noble families have ordered blue bricks. Situ's family asked, but both brick kilns said that ordering blue bricks There are too many people who buy bricks, and we have to wait until April to give blue bricks to the Situ family. It has been too long. After my general heard that there are blue bricks here, he immediately asked me to come and buy them, so as not to spread the news. The green bricks on your side The bricks will also be robbed."

What's even more outrageous is that because Mu County is close to the camp of Daokougou, many aristocratic families and families of high-ranking officials and nobles not only bought land in the vicinity of Muxian County, but also built Wubao in order to facilitate communication with Daokougou!
The Wubao of the previous dynasty was comparable to a small city, and it took a lot of green bricks to build it. That's how the green bricks in Mu County were bought up.

After hearing this, Uncle Mu Tong felt relieved, and immediately said: "Don't worry, brother, Situ's family is the second batch of people who come to the Brick Kiln of the Weisuo to buy green bricks, and they can get the green bricks soon."

Butler Situ was very happy: "Thank you."

After hearing this, Zhao Qing, the younger brother of Zhao Qianhu of the Yunshan Guard, hurried over to Uncle Mu Tong and said, "Steward Wu, the well in our guard has not been dug since the twelfth lunar month. They are all muddy yellow, and they have to be immersed for half a day to drink the clear water from the top after the soil settles, which is really troublesome, and please give us some green bricks from the guard."

Yunshanwei was on the second line of defense, and Zhao Qianhu was rather stingy. Seeing that the green bricks in Mu County were too expensive, he was unwilling to spend money on buying green bricks, and wanted to wait for the price to drop before buying them.

But because a large number of aristocratic nobles flocked to buy land, they waited for three months in a row, but they couldn't wait for the price of green bricks to drop. When they asked again, they learned about the price increase of green bricks.

Many relatives in the Weisuo had stomach problems because they drank muddy water. Zhao Qianhu had no choice but to grit his teeth and finally decided to buy blue bricks. However, the blue bricks in Mu County had already been ordered, and they wanted to buy them. Have to wait until half a year later.

When he was in a hurry, he got news from Zhang Yan that the Long Liangwei, the first line of defense, had blue bricks for sale, so he rushed over to buy them.

The news about General Situ also came from Zhang Yan. It can be seen that Zhang Yan did a good job in the second line of defense and got along well with the generals and thousands of households in the second line of defense.

Introduced by the Zhang family, this deal will naturally not be rejected.

After hearing this, Uncle Mu Tong agreed to come down, and when he saw Yunshan Weiqiong, he said to Zhao Qing: "There are a lot of green bricks broken in two in the brick kiln. As long as the irregular breaks are cut neatly, they can also be used to build the walls of wells." , Build a house, if Yunshanwei wants it, he can sell it to you at half price."

Zhao Qing was very excited when he heard this: "Really? How many broken blue bricks are there? Please, Steward Wu, take me to have a look!"

They in Yunshanwei are really poor, and the blue bricks in the northwest are really expensive. As long as they are cheap, they don’t mind doing an extra process when laying the well walls, as long as they can buy cheap blue bricks.

Uncle Mu Tong smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, I will take you to the brick kiln to see the blue bricks later."

After saying that, I went to visit the remaining two families who came to buy green bricks.

These two families were introduced by the Zhong family, they are the Jin family and the Luo family, and they are both prominent families in the city of Long'an Prefecture.

"This is Third Master Jin, and this is Young Master Luo." Zhang Tu introduced Mu Tong.

Jin Sanye is nearly forty years old, while Luo Shaoye is very young, only nineteen this year.

Uncle Mu Tong hurriedly offered them an apology: "I've seen Mr. Jin and Mr. Luo. Please forgive me for keeping you two waiting for a long time."

The two of them got the Zhong family's explanation, and they couldn't get angry with the people in the guard. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "It's okay."

He also talked about why he bought green bricks: "When the bandits came, they burned a lot of people's houses, and they were in urgent need of green bricks for repair. They also asked Changliang Weiyun to give some green bricks to our two families, so that our two families can live together. Those who live in the Anle House earlier."

Uncle Mu Tong asked: "May I ask Third Master Jin and Young Master Luo, how many blue bricks do your two families need?"

The third master Jin had already figured it out, and said: "The Jin family has a lot of people, and there are also many broken houses. If you want to repair all the houses, you need at least 10 yuan of green bricks."
