Chapter 322 0319 [Grape Wine Luminous Cup]

"Master Jun, thank you very much just now."

After walking for a while, Kuang Siniang said thank you.

Lao Jiu, who was still majestic just now, now became extremely embarrassed. He chewed for a while before he managed to squeeze out two words: "No...it's okay."

"Pfft."

Seeing his appearance, Kuang Siniang couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering. She thought this military master was quite interesting.

After the two bought some wine, meat and seafood at the market, they took a bullock cart and hurried home.

When I returned, I found that the surrounding area of ​​the small courtyard was full of villagers.

The fishing village is too small and there are no entertainment activities. Usually if there is something new, people will rush to watch it.

It was heard that Erlang of the Kuang family had become an official, and County Magistrate Han came to the Kuang family as a guest. This made the villagers unable to bear it.

At this moment, Han Zhen was talking with the village chief.

I don't know what he said, but I saw Lao Li Chang's face was red, his mouth was grinning, and he was smiling very happily.

Seeing Kuang Siniang return, the old man stood up and said, "With the county magistrate's words, I feel relieved and won't disturb the magistrate's meal."

"It's all gone."

After dispersing the onlookers, the old man went back leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Kuang's mother stepped forward to take the rice and asked, "Why did it take so long?"

"I met three thugs at the market who wanted to steal my money..."

Kuang Siniang chattered through the story and said excitedly: "Fortunately, Ninth Brother was here. He knocked down the rogue with three punches and two kicks. Later, he also reprimanded the police officers who came over. It was so impressive."

Hearing Kuang Siniang's praise, Lao Jiu turned away unnaturally.

The smile on Han Zhen's face gradually faded and he asked: "Are there many gangsters in the market nowadays?"

He issued an anti-gang order very early, ordering all prefectures and counties to clean up the gangs and thugs under his control.

Unexpectedly, under Jimo's rule, there were still gangsters robbing property in the streets.

It seems that Qi Meng’s work is not up to standard.

Kuang Zixin replied: "It's okay. The county government cleaned it up a while ago, and it's much better than before. I'm sorry for the humble words, but scoundrels are inevitable. Some people are born bad. They don't want to farm and work. They just want to work." I want to idle around all day and extort money.”

This is true. There is really no way to completely ban rogues.

Han Zhen is a staunch supporter of Xunzi's theory of evil nature. Human beings are born with evil nature, food and sex.

No matter how advanced society is, there will always be rogues.

At the beginning of his time travel, he was a rogue himself. After being a rogue for a few days, he finally understood how refreshing it felt to be able to wake up naturally without any worries and nothing to worry about.

A person is happiest when he does not need to bear any responsibilities from society and family.

Moreover, this kind of life is addictive.

Once you experience it for a few months, it will be extremely uncomfortable to return to normal life.

This is the case with the great god Sanhe in later generations.

Soon, Kuang's mother and Kuang Siniang prepared the meal.

Compared with Han Zhen's cooking method, their cooking methods are simple, but the seafood they make pays more attention to the original flavor, simple seasonings and auxiliary ingredients, highlighting the deliciousness of the seafood itself.

Han Zhen and Kuang Zixin were drinking and discussing the construction of the navy.

The navy was a very important part of Han Zhen's plan. In addition to ensuring sea trade, it could also play a miraculous role in land wars.

After eating the meal for an hour, Han Zhen left drunkenly.

After riding out of the fishing village on horseback, seeing Lao Jiu looking distracted, Han Zhen said jokingly: "You guys are okay, but you can't tell."

"I don't understand what the county magistrate said."

Lao Jiu deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"Can't understand?"

Han Zhen laughed and deliberately joked: "Okay, when I get back to Yidu, I will find a good marriage for Kuang Siniang. I think there is a good boy in the Su family, handsome in appearance, good character, well-educated, and Kuang Siniang." Mom can be considered a good match."

Hearing this, Lao Jiu clearly knew that the county magistrate was teasing him, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He said with a sigh: "I...I didn't say I didn't like it."

Han Zhen warned: "After you return this time, I will allow you to rest for a month. I will leave it to you to arrange the arrangements for the Kuang family and my mother-in-law."

"The last general takes orders."

Lao Jiu responded with his hands raised.

……

In the next few days, Han Zhen accompanied Zhao Fujin and the other little girls to play around, and even took a boat out to sea to experience some sea fishing.

Seven days later, the naval officer who joined the army and a group of army secretaries came from Congyidu.

The structure of the Qingzhou Army was drawn up by Han Zhen in the early Tang Dynasty.

Civil and military cooperation, military attachés are responsible for training and fighting, and they don't have to worry about the rest.

Similarly, those who join the army are responsible for all logistics, including the payment of rewards, and do not have to worry about combat matters.

In this way, each performs his or her own duties, uses their respective strengths, and can also limit each other.

After explaining some matters, Han Zhen took Zhao Fujin and his daughters, who were still missing, and the Kuang family's mother and daughter, and set off back to Yidu.

……

When we arrived at Yidu, it was already evening.

The little girls were tired after traveling all the way. After visiting Mrs. Han Zhang and Xiao Heyue, they washed up and rested.

Han Zhen was full of energy, and there was no sign of fatigue on his face. He was still as energetic as ever.

In the back room, Han Zhen picked up a small cattail leaf fan and gently fanned little Heyue.

As we enter July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The baby is afraid of heat. Now he enjoys the cool breeze and sleeps particularly sweetly.

The two little hands were clenched into fists and held flat on both sides of the little head, looking cute and cute.

When he was born, he was dark and skinny, like a little monkey.

Now it has grown, it is fair and plump, pink and tender, making people want to kiss it a few times.

"Erlang, have you gained a lot of weight?"

Han Zhang on the side touched her cheek and sounded sad. After not seeing each other for a month, Han Zhang has become a lot more mellow.

Confinement is inevitable.

Han Zhen chuckled and said, "It's okay. You were too thin before. You would look better if you were fatter."

Mrs. Han Zhang was indeed too thin before. Except for a pair of huge berries on her chest, there was no difference between her and Zhao Fujin in other places.

The cheeks are now rounder, showing an aura of wealth.

"really?"

Han Zhang was dubious.

"Of course it's true."

Han Zhen said, reaching out and pinching her pair of fruits.

"Yeah~"

Ms. Han Zhang let out a soft cry, shyly swatted away his mischievous hand, and said angrily, "Xiao Heyue is still here."

While the two were having fun, the maid's announcement came from outside the door: "Reporting to the county magistrate, officials from the Engineering Academy are asking to see you."

"I'll come when I go."

Han Zhen handed the cattail leaf fan to Han Zhang.

When people from the Engineering Academy come to see them, it is usually not a trivial matter, so Han Zhen never neglects it.

"Erlang, go quickly."

Han Zhang said softly, taking over Han Zhen's work, gently fanning Xiao Heyue, with kind maternal love in her eyes.

After leaving the courtyard, Han Zhen went all the way to the study.

In the study, Lu Jiu and a craftsman were already waiting there.

After Han Zhen sat down, he asked, "Is it about the cement or the glass?"

"The county magistrate is really good at predicting things."

Lu Jiu was a little flattered, but he was not skilled in the technique and the shooting was a bit stiff.

Han Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't talk nonsense. What's the specific matter?"

"hey-hey."

Lu Jiu laughed sarcastically and said, "After the county magistrate's advice, I led the craftsmen to try firing hundreds of furnaces of colored glaze, and finally achieved some success in the past few days."

Shandong is the birthplace of glass. As early as the late Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qi State had the art of firing colored glaze.

It's just that the colored glaze at that time was made from imitation jade. A series of cultural relics unearthed in later generations also confirm this statement.

Until the Song Dynasty, Shandong's glaze-making skills were at the top level.

Lu Jiu summoned a large number of skilled glaze craftsmen, and under the guidance of Han Zhen, it was not surprising that they were able to produce high-quality glaze.

"Mayor, please take a look."

Lu Jiu said, taking a wooden box from the craftsman's hand and placing it on the desk.

After opening the wooden box, two glazed wine glasses appeared in Han Zhen's field of vision.

Picking up one of them, Lu Jiu introduced: "This glass cup is fired using the ancient method. The color is not pure and transparent, and there are many bubbles inside."

Taking the wine glass, Han Zhen looked at it carefully.

The color is dark green, and there is no pure and translucent feeling like glass at all. There are many bubbles inside, which completely destroys the aesthetic feeling.

This kind of wine glass is popular on the market in Zhao and Song Dynasties today. Each one only costs a few guan, and the price is neither high nor low. It is something that dignitaries and dignitaries disdain to buy, but the common people at the bottom cannot afford it. Their positioning is very embarrassing.

Only some arty landlords and businessmen with limited financial resources would buy some to show off their appearance.

Lu Jiu picked up another one: "The county magistrate looks at this glass cup again. It is calcined using the method provided by the county magistrate."

From the perspective of future generations, the second glass cup was equally rough.

But the contrast between the two immediately highlights the exquisiteness of the second glass cup.

The background color is the same green, but the tone is lighter and more clear and translucent. There are still bubbles, but there are many fewer. It is difficult to detect without careful observation.

"Not bad!"

Han Zhen nodded with a smile and ordered: "The craftsmen who participated in the firing of colored glaze will all be rewarded with hundreds of coins and ten pieces of silk."

"Thank you county magistrate for the reward!"

Lu Jiu and the craftsman looked overjoyed and hurriedly thanked them.

Han Zhen ordered: "Based on this quality, fire a few batches first. You can decide the model yourself, but it must be exquisite. At the same time, don't be complacent. Continue to improve the firing method and ratio. If you can go further, you can also There’s a reward!”

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Lu Jiu responded loudly, full of energy.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

As long as the reward is enough, he won't be surprised if these craftsmen tinker with glass mirrors.

The next day.

In the main hall of Shaoyang Palace, the court meeting was held as usual.

At this moment, Zhao Ting was reporting a memorial from the state capital below: "County Magistrate, the continuous heavy rains in Jeju have caused the water level in Liangshanbo to continue to rise, causing floods and submerging more than a dozen villages. The magistrate has written a letter requesting the imperial court to allocate grain for disaster relief."

"allow!"

Han Zhen nodded slightly and said loudly: "Let the Jeju government office count the number of people affected by the disaster and the losses. After the Ministry of Household Affairs calculates the money and food, it will allocate funds directly."

"The minister takes orders."

Liu Mi stood up and responded.

A severe drought last summer wiped out the entire autumn harvest in Shandong.

This year has been much better, with plenty of rain and not many affected areas. Generally speaking, the weather has been smooth.

After discussing government affairs, Han Zhen tapped the wooden box with his fingers and chuckled: "A while ago, I talked about the official business stock system."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the courtiers' eyes suddenly lit up and they straightened their backs.

Here comes the point!
