Modern people who traveled through the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 80: Dark Chess
When the craftsmen saw Zhao Han asking them who was the best blacksmith, they all stood up and said that they could, because they wanted to perform well in front of Zhao Han, and they all wanted to satisfy Zhao Han with what they did, so that Zhao Han could release them. This temptation too big.

Seeing these craftsmen stand up, Zhao Han knew what they were thinking, but he didn't blame them. Zhao Han also understood their feelings, but it was very helpless.

When Zhao Han saw that they all stood up, he didn't intend to say anything else. Let them build the iron pot together. Anyway, the iron pot is not difficult to make, and the speed is fast when there are many people. Maybe they can use the iron pot to cook tonight.

"Since you all have confidence, let me tell you what I want you to do. It's actually not very difficult. I just want you to build an iron pot."

Zhao Han explained to the blacksmith the method, thickness, and size of the iron pot. After he finished speaking, he asked the blacksmith: "Okay, anyone who doesn't understand can ask me. If there is no problem, let's build it. Today you Just build an iron pot, and you can rest when you’re done, and continue working after dark when it’s cooler.”

After listening to Zhao Han's words, the craftsmen breathed a sigh of relief. At first, they were worried about how difficult the son-in-law asked him to make, but now he knew that the iron pot was not difficult. The only difficulty was to control the thickness of the pot, which was too thin. It's easy to break, it's thick and the cooking is not cooked, and the others are very simple.

The craftsman Qi Qi said: "Don't worry, son-in-law, we can make this, but I don't know how many iron pots you want the young ones to make? If there is one, we can make it in less than an hour."

Zhao Han thought about it, and built one first to have a look. After making so many pots, no one knows how to cook, so this is not too urgent.

Zhao Han said to the craftsmen: "Just build one for the time being. You guys should rest for a while. Ma Yi, ask someone to cook more mung bean soup for them to drink. Don't suffer from heat stroke."

Ma Yi quickly replied: "Understood the boss, I will order my servants to cook mung bean soup."

Zhao Han saw that the blacksmiths had gone to rest, and he had nothing to do, so he walked around casually, and went to see what happened to the workshop that Goudan and the others built.
When Zhao Han strolled to the cement workshop, he saw that many craftsmen were building the workshop according to their own assembly line methods, and now the outer frame is almost completed.

Cao Goudan also noticed that Zhao Han was coming, so he quickly put down his work, and then ran to Zhao Han and said, "Uncle, it's such a hot day, why are you here? If you have anything to do, you can call someone to come and find me, little one." I can just find you in the past, how can I let you come here in person?"

Zhao Han waved his hand and said, "I have nothing to do. I just came here to find the blacksmith. Come by and see how the cement workshop is going. Have the craftsmen learned how to make cement?"

"Back to Uncle, it will take about two or three days to complete the construction of the cement workshop. Almost all the craftsmen have learned how to make cement. As long as the workshop is built, they can start working immediately."

"That's good. I have worked hard for you these few days. I will tell the craftsmen later that when the workshop is built, each person will be rewarded with [-] Wen. Also, cook more mung bean water for the craftsmen. Don't suffer from heat stroke. Make sure the craftsmen are healthy." Safety, these are all my treasures, if I lose one, I will feel bad."

Cao Goudan knew that Zhao Han attached great importance to craftsmen, so he quickly replied: "Uncle, don't worry, the little one will definitely pay attention to the physical condition of craftsmen."

When Zhao Han heard Goudan's assurance, he felt relieved, so Zhao Han let Goudan continue to work, and just wandered around by himself.

Zheng Shanguo thought about it all night last night, but he didn't think of any good way to get the formula of fine salt and high alcohol from Zhao Han.

When Zheng Shanguo was frowning, the butler came in. Seeing the butler coming, Zheng Shanguo asked, "Butler, why are you here? Could it be that Feng'er is not studying hard anymore?"

The housekeeper replied: "If you go back to the master, the young master hasn't woken up yet. The old slave came here to ask, master, you haven't eaten this morning, and the old slave is a little worried. Is there anything I can do to help?"

The butler has been with him for decades, and he is also his confidant, so there is nothing he can't say, so he told the butler that he was worried because he didn't know how to get the formula of fine salt and high-alcohol wine from Zhao Han.

Only then did the butler know why his master was worried. The butler also knew that the low-priced fine salt that appeared in Chang'an recently caused heavy losses to the big families. times, the green salt is not only mixed with sand, but also tastes bitter. Even so, it costs more than 100 yuan per bucket. It is also as white as snow, which completely breaks the market for green salt, and the fine salt only costs [-] yuan per bucket, which is something I dare not think about.

Now not only Chang'an is selling fine salt, but the surrounding cities have also started selling fine salt. As soon as fine salt appeared, people looted it. Now that the salt workshops owned by the aristocratic family have stopped working, the master should be worried.

After the housekeeper wanted to understand the reason behind this, he said to the master: "Master, it is actually simple, and it is not difficult to get this formula, but it will only lose our Zheng family's dark chess, I think the owner may not agree. "

When Zheng Shanguo heard that the housekeeper had a solution, he immediately asked curiously: "Steward, tell me what you can do? Why does the elder brother disagree?"

"Master, in fact, every family has its own dark chess, and every state has our Zheng family's dark chess. As long as the head of the family agrees to activate the dark chess, it is not impossible to get the formula, but it will be exposed. Dark Chess, this loss is too great."

Zheng Shanguo suddenly realized, why did he forget this, every patriarch of the aristocratic family masters the dark chess, but these dark chess can only obey the orders of the patriarch, how can he make them obey his mission?As for the lost dark chess, this was ignored by Zheng Shanguo. Anyway, if he became the Patriarch, it is impossible for him to want these dark chess. In the past, they all listened to their elder brother. Will you obey your own words?

Zheng Shanguo knew his elder brother's character, and it was impossible for his elder brother to use dark chess just because of this. After all, it was not related to the life and death of the family. Generally, dark chess would not be used. This made him feel difficult. What should I do?
Zheng Shanguo thought for a while before he came up with a solution, but this method also has risks, that is, he would send someone to steal his elder brother's family order, and then secretly assign tasks to Dark Chess, but this matter can never be hidden, it depends on Yang Yu When did he help himself to be the head of the family, should he make this bet?
Zheng Shanguo has been vacillating left and right in his heart.
