Chapter 131 0128 [Reselling Arms]

When Han Zhen went to the backyard, An Niang glanced at Han Zhang, saw that she was staring at Han Zhen's back, and couldn't help but joked: "Why doesn't Run Niang help Erlang wash?"

"ah!"

Han Zhang let out a soft cry, and a blush suddenly appeared on her pretty face.

An Niang's words made her feel guilty.

Because in the past few days, under Han Zhen's soft and hard soak, the two often bathed together.

For a moment, shy and startled, he hesitated and said: "Don't... don't talk nonsense, there is no reason for a sister-in-law to help my brother-in-law wash up."

An Niang suppressed a smile, and deliberately said provocatively: "If you don't go, I can go."

"You...you can go as you want, why are you saying such strange things?"

Han Zhang turned her head, trying to hide the panic in her heart.

"Then I'll go."

An Niang made a gesture to leave.

Seeing this, Han Zhang's heart suddenly felt sour, and there was a grievance in his eyes.

After all, she is Erlang's sister-in-law, and her name is not justified.

After a while, she raised her head, only to see that An Niang hadn't gone far, and she was looking at her jokingly with a pair of peach eyes.

Han Zhang panicked and asked, "Why didn't you go?"

"You."

An Niang sighed slightly, and said earnestly: "This soft and sticky temperament really needs to be changed. If Erlang has another woman in the future, maybe he will bully you."

"I... I don't know what to say."

Seeing that she was still dying, An Niang said bitterly, "Just pretend to be stupid, and you will suffer in the future."

Han Zhang pursed her lips and fell silent for a while.

……

After taking a comfortable bath, Han Zhen changed into a linen blouse.

The handicraft industry in the Northern Song Dynasty was extremely developed, and the output of textiles such as hemp, silk, silk, silk, brocade, and silk showed explosive growth compared with the output in the Tang Dynasty.

Han Zhen likes to wear coarse linen clothes, not because of any hard and simple psychology, but because it is more comfortable to wear linen clothes in summer.

Although the texture is rougher than silk and damask, it is better in air permeability and coolness.

In such a hot weather, if you put on a brocade robe, even if you sit at home motionless, you will sweat all over.

The wet hair is scattered on the shoulders, giving it a bit of a wild atmosphere.

All the way to the living room of the Second Courtyard, Han Zhen asked, "To buy some goods today?"

"Ok!"

An Niang pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "The shop's business is very good. The goods I just bought a few days ago were sold out in a blink of an eye."

"How are Fang Sansan and Siniang doing?"

"San San is still like that, laughing and joking all day long, heartless. Siniang, on the other hand, works very hard. A teacher who taught yesterday said that in a few days, I won't be able to teach Siniang anymore. "

The scribes who teach in the village have only studied for a few years, and they can only add, subtract, multiply and divide within a thousand of arithmetic, and they don't understand the slightly advanced knowledge.

Jiang Siniang's talent for arithmetic was unexpected.

Han Zhen pondered and said: "In a few days, you send Siniang over, and I will arrange a husband for her in the county."

It would be nice if Jiang Siniang could be trained to be a lady.

Even if it doesn't work, she can be a female accountant in the future.

There will be no loss left or right.

This girl is considered her own, so she can use it with confidence.

Han Zhang asked, "Erlang, can I have dinner?"

"Let's have dinner."

Han Zhen nodded.

I just ate a meal in the morning, and I am really hungry now.

The dinner was not a big one, a plate of vinegared celery and a small plate of pickles, because An Niang was a guest, so there was an extra portion of mutton soup.

There is no way, the weather is too hot, eating some sour and salty side dishes will make the meal even more delicious.

After dinner, it was getting late, Han Zhen ordered: "It's getting late, it's not safe to walk at night, An Niang will stay here tonight and go back tomorrow."

"Ah."

An Niang nodded in response, her peach blossom eyes couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Han and Zhang.

As if aware of her gaze, Han Zhang nodded and lowered his eyes, showing no emotion.

Han Zhen had a panoramic view of the small movements of the two of them.

That night.

In the East Wing, there were kitten-like murmurs.

Han Zhen was grinding soymilk while holding Yuan Fengrun, and the sweat kept rolling down his back.

Snapped!
She slapped the bullying Saixue's millstone, and said, "Didn't I tell you not to make fun of her?"

"Well!"

An Niang let out a soft cry, then turned her head, her watery peach blossom eyes gave him a white look of reproach: "Nu... how dare I do this. All the maids in the mansion have called her madam, and they are still pretending to be stupid with the Nu family. That's why I made a few jokes."

"Anniang, you've gotten better after a few days of not seeing each other."

"Hmph, it's not all your fault."

Thinking of that day, I got angry and aroused my own anger, but in the end I patted my butt and left.

It was not until the third watch that the commotion in the wing room gradually subsided.

The two of them stuck together sweating, whispering private words.

Chatting and chatting, they fell asleep.

……

The next day.

After tossing around most of the night, Han Zhen got up early.

As for An Niang, she was still sleeping soundly.

After washing up, I practiced the breathing method for a quarter of an hour as usual.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect or if it really has an effect. Han Zhen only feels refreshed, and even his steps are a little lighter.

Just as he got up, Han Zhang's faint voice came from beside his ear: "Erlang also needs to be more cautious about his body, he will be cutting all day long, how can he bear it."

Han Zhen stretched out his hand to gently pinch her smooth cheek, and asked with a smile, "Are you jealous?"

"Well!"

Han Zhang suddenly blushed slightly.

Even though she and Han Zhen are husband and wife, every time she faces this kind of intimacy, she always feels shy in her heart.

Suppressing her embarrassment, she lightly bit her lips and said, "I'm not jealous, I just hope that Erlang can take care of his body."

Han Zhen smiled slightly, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my own body is very clear, just you and An Niang's small bodies, combined, are no match for me."

How could Mrs. Han Zhang hear such words, but felt her legs go weak for a while, and said softly, "Uncle!"

"Okay, stop teasing you, let's go eat."

Knowing that she is thin-skinned, Han Zhen no longer teases her.

The two went all the way to the Second Courtyard for breakfast, and then, under the service of Mrs. Han Zhang, Han Zhen changed into a brocade robe and went out to work in the county government.

After entering the county government office, Han Zhen asked casually, "Is Changzhi County starting?"

The official on duty replied: "Report to the county magistrate, the magistrate left the city early in the morning to resettle the prisoners of war."

"Ok!"

Han Zhen nodded.

In fact, he could vaguely guess what Changzhi County was thinking.

The reason why he puts so much effort into realizing his childhood ideals and ambitions is on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wants to bet on himself by virtue of his performance.

Naturally, Han Zhen didn't mind, and was even a little happy about it.

An official of the seventh rank of the imperial court can bet on him, which shows that his actions have won recognition.

In the book hall, the subordinate staff were already busy, and this scene would never have happened in the past.

To be honest, Han Zhen still underestimated the temptation of being an official.

Ever since he and Changzhi County deliberately revealed that the subordinate staff would have a chance to be promoted if they behaved well, the gang of subordinate staff began to involve wildly.

In many cases, oil lamps can be seen in the book hall on the second watch.

And under the frantic introversion of the subordinate officials, the progress of checking the accounts has increased rapidly.

It has entered the final stage now, and it will be over in about two days.

The ones who felt the deepest were actually not Han Zhen and Changzhi County, but the people in the county.

They suddenly discovered that the extorting and extorting subordinates who used to run rampant in the village became polite one by one.

There is a gentleman's style between words and deeds, soft-spoken and extremely patient.

It’s not enough to pay for the meal, but not to accept it.

When collecting taxes, you will be well-regulated, and you will collect as much as you should, and you will not charge more than a penny.

Not to mention double taxation.

This change made the people in the county unbelievable, and they wished to give Han Zhen and Changzhi County a Wanmin Umbrella.

……

……

"The humble official has met Mr. Zhao."

Being called to the study of Zhao Ting's home again, Luo Sha had already tasted it thoroughly.

This Zhao Ting didn't want to fight, he clearly wanted to resell arms!

After figuring this out, Luo Sha admired Zhao Ting immensely.

In fact, he has long wanted to sell the ordnance in the military arsenal, but he has been struggling to find a buyer.

After all, who would buy ordnance?

Those who want to buy have no money, and those who have money do not want to buy.

And Zhao Ting was able to find a buyer, how could he not be impressed.

In addition to admiration, Luo Sha felt a little happy in his heart. As a middleman, he couldn't get around, and he would definitely get a sum of money.

Zhao Ting didn't hesitate, and cut straight to the point: "Last time I ordered you to repair your weapons, how are you doing?"

"Master Zhao ordered that you should be careful in your humble position."

As Luo Sha said, he took out a booklet from his sleeve pocket and handed it over.

This booklet recorded in detail the quantity of all the intact ordnance in the Zhenhai arsenal.

A gleam of satisfaction flashed in Zhao Ting's eyes, and he opened the booklet and read it carefully.

Compared with the number reported by Luo Sha last time, there are obviously a lot more in the notes.

Apparently he listened to his orders and ordered the craftsmen to repair some that were not seriously damaged.

There are 180 pieces of half-body iron armor, 420 pieces of leather armor, 690 long swords and spears, 280 bows, [-] crossbows, and two catapults.

Zhao Ting's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How much does this catapult cost?"

Luo Sha replied: "The humble job has already asked the craftsman, and the cost is about three hundred yuan."

Hearing this, Zhao Ting silently calculated in his heart, these ordnance can earn at least eight or nine thousand guan!
The key point is that he doesn't need to pay any cost, it's a completely costless business, and it's a waste of money.

As for the town's navy, what should we do if we don't have any ordnance?
What does that have to do with Zhao Ting?

Anyway, there are still more than half a year before he resigns.

Besides, who still expects the Xiang army to fight now?

After closing the booklet, Zhao Ting ordered: "You send people to transport the weapons to Linzi County later, and someone will pay you when the time comes."

He was not afraid that Han Zhen would not give the money.

In his opinion, he has the handle of the collusion between Chang Yukun and Han Zhen, and the business of refined salt and sugar needs to use his name to spread channels.

Seeing that Luo Sha didn't express his opinion immediately, Zhao Ting sneered in his heart, but said on the face: "Don't worry, your share will not be lost."

"Being able to work for Mr. Zhao is a blessing of a humble position. How dare you ask for money."

Luo Sha smiled obsequiously, and continued: "Mr. Zhao, for such an important matter, it's better to let the humble staff go there in person."

Zhao Ting stroked his beard and smiled lightly. He was very satisfied with his performance, and said in a comforting tone: "That's right, then you can go there yourself."

"Impressive order!"

Luo Sha clasped his fists in response, turned around and left the study.
