Chapter 561 revitalize the economy
The little official replied: “Because the ruler is more settled, the coffin shop needs a lot of effort to gather the wooden boards, and he is a member of the royal family, and the more careful, the money will be more valuable.”
Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and said, “It’s just an ordinary coffin, no need to pay attention.”
She frowned, “Is the plank difficult to put together?”
The little official nodded, “There are too many people ordering coffins in the past two days. There were originally twelve coffin shops in Luoyang City, but now there are only four left. The stock of coffins they used before was not enough, and now many shops are waiting for them to open coffins. Woolen cloth.”
Zhao Hanzhang was about to speak when Zhao Erlang rushed in proudly and aggressively, “Sister, I have a coffin, I have a coffin.”
Zhao Hanzhang’s words were stuck in his throat, and Zhao Erlang took him to look at the coffins placed in the yard.
Zhao Hanzhang paused and asked, “Where did you come from?”
“I had someone carry it.”
Zhao Hanzhang gave him a head and asked, “Tell me the truth.”
Zhao Erlang covered the place where he was beaten and said, “It was brought here. I was patrolling today and saw a lot of people tearing down the door panels, saying that they were going to send it to the coffin shop to make money. I remembered that I have several. There are coffins in the coffin shop, so I asked someone to carry them.”
He said, “Sister, if you don’t want it, I’ll sell it to a coffin shop to make money.”
There are too many slots, so Zhao Hanzhang decided to ask the key question, “…Do you have a coffin shop?”
“Yes, as General Xun said, this city was captured by us, so it is ours. We can occupy all the houses and shops here that are unowned. I occupied a lot of them at the time, but later someone I came back to live, but there are still a lot of people who haven’t come back, isn’t that mine?”
Zhao Hanzhang was speechless for a long time. Under Zhao Erlang’s clear eyes, she raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder, and praised: “Nice job, but Erlang, it’s not yours, it’s mine.”
She said: “The spoils of war have to be handed over to me for safekeeping and distribution. Of course, elder sister will not treat you badly. Do you have a house that you particularly like, elder sister will give you one.”
Zhao Erlang grinned, shook his head and said, “It’s all for my sister, I like to live in the military camp.”
Living at home or in a house, Mr. Xie would always look for him. In the military camp, Mr. Xie would only look for him every other day.
Zhao Hanzhang glanced at his brother with relief, and then looked at the coffins in the yard, “Count how much it is, go to the ownerless coffin shop to find out if there are any coffin boards, and send them to the coffin shop to ask someone to make them. Coffins, if there is any excess, they will be sold to the coffin shop.”
The clerk responded, paused and then asked, “Girl, there are many people in the city tearing down door panels and selling them to coffin shops, do you want to stop them?”
Zhao Hanzhang said: “If they sell their own family, they don’t need to worry about it, but mine, ahem, I mean, if they steal from other people, they can’t do it, and they can’t have no owner.”
“Yes.” The clerk went down to make arrangements.
Zhao Hanzhang grabbed Zhao Erlang who was about to run out again, “Are you still playing with Xun Xiu?”
Zhao Erlang shook his head, “Didn’t Xun Xiu get slapped by the elder sister? He was lying on the bed and couldn’t get out. It’s my turn to patrol today, so I didn’t play.”
Zhao Hanzhang nodded and asked, “How is Xun Xiu?”
Zhao Erlang shivered and said: “It’s too bad, there’s a lot of blood from the buttocks and lower back, he said he can’t move.”
Zhao Hanzhang sneered, didn’t she know that the soldiers who tortured were merciful?
That just looked miserable.
But she still frightened Zhao Erlang and said, “Don’t imitate him. He was lucky this time, and he didn’t delay the fighter. If it was in wartime, it would not only be as simple as spanking, but his head would fall off.”
On the way back to Xun Xiu, the scout spotted the team that brought supplies back to Shile.
The supplies of the Shile army were transported by slaves driven by the Jie people and Xiongnu officials. Xun Xiu discovered that half of the slaves in the team were Han Chinese, so he immediately led his troops to turn around and rob the team.
There were not many supplies, but a large number of people were captured.
So the officials who were originally escorting grain and grass became slaves, the Han people who were originally slaves were brought back and became lovers, and the Hu people who were slaves were still slaves.
Zhao Hanzhang wasn’t annoyed that he tried to rob people on his own, but she was annoyed that he didn’t return to Beijing on time. His merit was merit and his deeds were demerits, so Xun Xiu was punished, and he was beaten badly, even worse than Bei Gongchun and Mice. Even heavier.
The business of coffins in the city of Luoyang became good, so that the neighboring prefectures and counties heard about it, so some merchants transported coffins to Luoyang.
The sense of smell of businessmen is so sensitive. In this world, as long as money, silk and food are available, there is always someone willing to do it.
There are foreign merchants entering Luoyang, which will result in expenses such as food and lodging.
The entire Luoyang city did not even have an inn, so the smart Luoyang city residents opened the door to attract these merchants, and only charged a small amount of money.
Some people came to the door to sell small vegetable seedlings grown by themselves and wild vegetables dug in the wild.
Spring is the time when all things are recovering and wild vegetables are the best time to eat. Although the merchants don’t like to eat them very much, they are hungry at the moment, so naturally they have something to eat, so they untied their wallets and bought them.
This action fell into the eyes of other people. The next day, someone went into the mountains to hunt and began to dangle and sell wild game in front of the houses. As a result, the merchants inside did not buy it, but they were bought by a nearby family with a decent family. now…
The city of Luoyang, which had been silent for a long time, came to life in such a sparse way.
Zhao Hanzhang was silent when she heard it. She never thought that Luoyang City’s economy started from a coffin.
Ji Yuan watched all this, and immediately said to Zhao Hanzhang, “Miss, didn’t Erlang-Jun occupy several restaurants? It’s time to clean up and receive guests.”
There are more than 100,000 people in Luoyang City. They “live” and business can start naturally.
Zhao Hanzhang, who didn’t worry about these things at all, recently couldn’t help but pay attention because he was spending too much money, “I want to open it up, I’ll ask Mr. at this time, you can choose a few people who can do business with ingenuity. Bar.”
Ji Yuan said: “You can choose from Xiping School, if you are good at science, and if you are good at cooking, you can let them try it. Some people are in Chen County, and it’s not far away, but…”
“But you need capital to open a store, girl. Now you have no money in your public account.”
Zhao Hanzhang opened his mouth wide, “Didn’t you just dug up the treasure left by your grandfather in Luoyang?”
Ji Yuan said: “You need to raise so many soldiers and horses, and the refugees you bring back also need to provide relief. During this period of time, it is difficult to buy food and grass. Plus, Master Fu has been asking for money. In such a short period of time, he Brick houses, glazed workshops, paper-making methods and soap workshops have been built, and the rivers have to be dredged…”
“By the way, he paid a million dollars just to clear the river.” Ji Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Hanzhang, and said, “Girl, you only have less than 100,000 dollars left in your public account.”
It sounds like a lot, but it’s only a hundred taels in silver. She humbly asked, “Then how much of my private account is left?”
Ji Yuan said meaningfully: “This girl is going to ask Ting He.”
Zhao Hanzhang’s private accounts have always been managed by Ting He. All expenses for her, Zhao Erlang, and Fu Tinghan’s necessities are drawn from Ting He.
