At the beginning of the mass grave, I took the villain to open up wasteland and farm

Most of the houses in the countryside are built with soil mixed with hay, cow dung and other things, and some families who pay attention to it also use wood to build houses.

But Chang Ning felt that the earthen house was not beautiful enough and the wooden house was not strong enough, so she wanted to build a two-story brick house.

She once saw a new rural house in 2000 in a virtual world simulating rural life. The small villa with several floors fit her aesthetics very well, so she has been looking forward to building a house like that in the countryside after rebirth. .

So now that he had a little extra spare money, Chang Ning started to buy bricks to prepare for the small villa.

The two walked for about half an hour before finding the brick kiln at the foot of the cliff mountain, a closed kiln built with blue bricks.

A two-meter-high arch was opened on the side of the kiln, and workers were specially assigned to transport bricks to and fro. Thousands of green bricks had already been piled on the open space outside the kiln.

Before Chang Ning got close, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him, and then Han Mingyuan blocked Chang Ning.

Chang Ning looked at his back and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

Han Mingyuan said sullenly: "You go back to the official road and wait for me, I'll talk about buying bricks."

"No!" Chang Ning refused: "I want to go into the cave to see how their ancient workers made bricks by hand."

"No!" Han Mingyuan said resolutely, "You can't go there."

A bit of anger also rose in Chang Ning's heart, and he didn't know what kind of wind was blowing up in Han Mingyuan.

A brick kiln worker not far away shouted at them: "Are the customers over there here to buy bricks?"

Hearing this, Chang Ning immediately bypassed Han Mingyuan and got out from behind him, "Yes, yes, we are here to buy bricks!"

"Oh my dear mother!"

When the worker saw Chang Ning, he was so frightened that he folded his arms and looked around to find a cover.

It was only then that Chang Ning discovered that almost all the workers in the brick kiln were naked from the upper body, and some of them only wore shorts on their lower body.

With a gloomy face, Han Mingyuan pulled her into his arms, blocking her sight with his strong chest.

"Are you still watching?"

With a chilly tone floating over his head, Chang Ning timidly replied, "I won't watch it."

Although this visual impact is nothing to Chang Ning, after all, modern men's and women's swimming pools wear much less than this, but it is ancient times, staring at men will be included in the ranks of immorality.

It's just that her sentence "don't read it" is indeed mixed with [-]% sincerity.

The chest covered in dust is really boring to look at, not as attractive as Han Mingyuan.

Chang Ning took the opportunity to poke at the wall of flesh in front of him. Wouldn't the firm and elastic chest muscles look better than that?
Han Mingyuan held her restless hand, and said in a slow tone, "Go and wait for me on the official road, I'll talk."

"Okay, remember to bargain, I want 4 yuan in bricks."

"it is good."

After taking two steps, Chang Ning turned around and handed him a money bag, telling him, "Remember to ask them to deliver the goods to your door."

"it is good."

After confirming that Chang Ning obediently left the brick kiln, Han Mingyuan turned back to find the worker hiding behind the brick wall.

"Sorry, how do you sell this brick?"

The worker came out with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "I was sorry just now, I didn't know brother you brought the girl here."

Han Mingyuan replied coldly: "It's okay."

Seeing that Han Mingyuan didn't really want to mention this matter, the worker immediately changed his words: "The price of the blue bricks is set by the prefect, and ordinary people buy it for a penny and a piece."

The firing process of blue bricks is cumbersome and expensive, and the general supplier Jia Quangui sells them at the price of two bricks for three Wen.

There are very few ordinary people who are willing to spend money to buy blue bricks, so the prefect gave ordinary people a preferential price.

Han Mingyuan, the prefect of Liangcheng, naturally recognized him. When he first met, he felt that he was a good official with a heart for the people. With him as the parental official of Liangcheng on the border, he would surely ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Now it seems that it really lived up to expectations.

"Xichang's family in Qinghong Village ordered [-] pieces of bricks, when will they ship?"

"Forty thousand horses?" The man was taken aback and exclaimed, "Forty thousand horses are worth 40 taels of silver. You are buying for someone?"

Because of the rules set by the prefect, some profiteers will find some ordinary people to buy green bricks in order to save money, but once they find out that such behavior will be punished.

Han Mingyuan said: "It is for building a house at home."

The man looked Han Mingyuan up and down, obviously not convinced, [-] horses can build a big yard, ordinary people are really so rich?

Han Mingyuan's expression was gloomy, and he said impatiently: "Of course I will know after sending it, if you don't want to do this business, then let it be!"

Seeing that he was angry, the worker immediately laughed along with him and said, "Young Master, don't blame him. Don't blame him. It's really a rule here, and he didn't intend to offend you."

It's really that the public's food is not delicious!

If a profiteer turns the loophole, he will also be held accountable by the higher-ups.

Han Mingyuan had no intention of embarrassing him, he just said: "You will know when you send the bricks, it's a deposit."

Han Mingyuan handed over a deposit of ten taels of silver, then turned around and left in a cool manner.

Instead, the man greeted him as if he was holding a hot potato, "Master, I haven't written you a receipt yet!"

Han Mingyuan turned a deaf ear to it, he was thinking that Chang Ning was still alone on the official road, and he didn't take the ten taels of silver to heart.

The man was wearing shorts, and it was not easy to chase after Han Mingyuan, so he hurried back to the brick kiln to find the person in charge, gave him a receipt, and planned to hand it over to him when the bricks were delivered tomorrow.

After returning to the official road alone, Chang Ning had nothing to do, so he squatted on the side of the road and ate melon seeds.

The official road here is relatively close to Liangcheng, and there is an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages doing business. Chang Ning ate a mouthful of dust, poohed twice in disgust, and then retreated to wait in the bamboo forest.

"It's a good place, and it doesn't need to bask in the sun."

Chang Ning sat down cross-legged, licked a handful of melon seeds by the hem of his clothes, commented on all kinds of people passing by, and was quite happy and leisurely.

"Hurry up, pretend to be dead!"

A whip fell on him, and someone groaned.

Then I heard someone yelling and cursing: "Damn it, I'm finally going to Liangcheng, hurry up, or I will beat you to death!"

Chang Ning straightened up and looked towards the source of the sound. Two jailers armed with knives were escorting a prisoner wearing a shackle towards Liangcheng.

The man was dressed in ragged prison clothes and bare feet. Every step he took left a bloody footprint on the ground, and his body was bloody from the whip.

There was a seal on the prisoner's shackles, and Chang Ning knew from the original owner's memory that this was an exiled prisoner.

In ancient times, if someone committed a felony and was sentenced to exile, they were usually escorted by two jailers. They traveled all the way through mountains and rivers and suffered a lot. Most people might get sick and die before they could go into exile.

And when he reached his destination, what awaited him was just a new round of torture.

The second villain is humble and online!
