As August begins, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here.

The Zhao family celebrates the festival by themselves, and the second is the gift of holidays to all aspects, and the birthday of Zhao Liang's grandfather.

Zhao Liang's grandfather was also a scholar and his mentor to Zhao's father. The old man's surname was Liang. After gaining the reputation of a scholar, he opened a private school at Longlukouji. From enlightenment to recognizing words to starting writing and breaking questions and practicing eight-legged essays, he taught them all.

Over the past 30 years, there have been many students and are very respected locally.

But this is my family after all.

In terms of etiquette and morality, grandfather’s birthday is the biggest. But in a practical sense, how to give Su Hetai Mid-Autumn Festival gifts is the most important.

Thousands of silver are offered a year, and each festival has its own rituals. For Su Hetai, the Zhao family will fill in three or two thousand taels of silver in a year.

Although this money is worth spending to Zhao Jiayan, I can’t help but sigh that it’s easy for officials to get money.

No wonder the Qing magistrate had 100,000 silver silver in the past three years.

The Zhao family spends only two or three thousand taels a year. How much should the Chenzhou Prefecture offer? Even if many families do not surrender to Su Hetai like the Zhao family, there is no need to spend so much money, but the four seasons and eight festivals always have to express their opinions.

There is a treasure pot in Zhoujiakou in Chenzhou.

"bass……"

A cold light shone in the small flower hall. Su Hetai looked at the patterned steel sword in his hand, his face full of uncontrollable smiles.

"Good sword, good sword!"

As a civil servant who was born in the Eight Banners and wrote a letter, Su Hetai always boasted of his ancestors' achievements. He clearly knew nothing about martial arts, but he only read a few big military books, but he liked to use swords to demonstrate his "martial courage".

The sword presented by Zhao Liang was created by the blacksmith shop after a lot of effort. It was another task Zhao Liang gave to Zhao Feng before going to the Xiedian.

It was not completed until a few days ago.

It’s not because it takes too much effort to forge the sword embryo, but because it’s too difficult to grasp the temperature.

According to his requirements, the sword embryo must be folded from multiple layers of iron material, which can form a beautiful patterned blade. In addition to the beautiful pattern on the outside, the blade body is also very tough. This will make Su Hetai very happy.

In the traditional forging process, the master holds the pliers in one hand to observe the heat, and uses a small hammer to point out where the hammer should be hit. The apprentice uses a sledgehammer to hit hard. He has to repeatedly hit countless times, and it takes time to get a patterned sword.

Now that there is a hydraulic forging hammer, the seemingly most difficult part has been perfectly solved, but in fact, the hammer method for forging sword embryos is not good enough, because the carbon content of steel is between raw and cooked iron, and over-beating it will mature iron. Usually, the hammered sword embryo is reduced to about one-third of the original weight.

However, there were no professional testing equipment in ancient times, so whether it was steel was based on experience and feeling.

To make multi-layer materials dissolve, there are specific requirements for the charcoal, catalyst and temperature used. Forging requires rich experience. If you are careless, the material cannot dissolve or cracks appear, and the sword embryo will be scrapped.

The masters recruited by the blacksmith shop are all experienced old men. Although there are no special sword casting masters, it is impossible to say that they have never killed swords. However, no matter how experienced they are, they need to test them before facing hydraulic forging hammers. Even though they have made hundreds of waist knives before!

Therefore, it is a great blessing that they can cast a real sword before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Later, the sword embryo is polished and decorated, and everything will be very relaxed.

There are more than 2,000 shops and warehouses in Zhoujiakou, covering all walks of life.

Long before the sword body was cast, the scabbard, hilt, and sword grid were all ready.

"Good sword, good sword..."

After Su Hetai split five copper coins with one sword, he was even more happy, and his eyes were even heavier when he looked at Zhao Liang.

Zhao Liang didn't dare to reveal his pride at all, but he knew that this Mid-Autumn Festival, with this sword as the foundation, the Zhao family greatly pleased Su Hetai.

After coming out of the prefect's office, Zhao Liang, who was very flattering in front of Su Hetai, returned to his calmness.

He didn't feel any humiliation in his heart!

What's so humiliating about this? This is his own choice!

So what if Su Hetai is a bannerman?

This was the Zhao family who came to the door with the money first.

Zhao Liang didn't even have any hatred for Su and Tai. Both sides took what they needed, and don't think that the Zhao family said was at a loss.

In 9012, there were so many things that made him nod and bow. Zhao Liang didn’t feel anything shameful or hateful at all. He could accept it at that time, but now he couldn’t accept it?

Just because Su Hetai is a bannerman and a Tartar?

hehe!

He is really not enduring humiliation.

The bannermen in the middle of Qianlong were different from those in the Qing Dynasty when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. At least in Zhao Liang's eyes, they were different. (Crab)

He only has the word "kill" for the latter, and it seems acceptable to kill all the people. But Zhao Liang felt a little embarrassed when he killed them all.

Even if one day he overthrew the Qing Dynasty and lived in the world, and Su Hetai was still alive, Zhao Liang would give him a good result.

If you don’t let go of this society, you won’t realize how huge Su Hetai’s protection for the Zhao family is!

Before that, let alone the civil servants in the yamen, even a white servant (the extra official servants in the yamen are not organized), could cause trouble for the Zhao family. The gangsters in the streets and markets dared to go to the store to cause trouble.

But now let’s look at the Zhao family’s industry...

Not to mention those who are already in Chenzhou Prefecture, even those from other provinces, if they are from other provinces, if Su Hetai’s posts, the Zhao family can visit the local parents and officials directly. Giving a gift, all the unclear and bad things in society can disappear from the Zhao family.

Isn’t this benefit worth thousands of taels of silver?

"uncle……"

"Go to He's house!"

The He family is the family of Zhao Liang's classmate He Zhihui.

When Zhao Liang fell into the water after drinking, he couldn't get sick. He Zhihui, three years older than him, successfully participated in the hospital examination and was very lucky to be on the list. An 18-year-old young man became a scholar. This may not be very conspicuous in the Jiangnan literary style, but in Chenzhou it is a bright light in the dark night. Don't be too obsessed.

After only three months as a high school scholar, He Zhihui got married to the Chen family in Fucheng and married the second lady of Mr. Chen Shenglong. Then he moved to Fucheng naturally.

The father-in-law was forced to get money into the Xiange Academy.

The Xiange Academy is called Yixiange Platform, also known as the Ertai and Jueliang Temple. It is built to commemorate Confucius's endless string songs in Chen Cai Jueri. It is one of the seven scenic spots and eight platforms in Chenzhou Prefecture.

There are twelve famous academies in Chenzhou Prefecture, five of which gather in the city.

Xiange Academy is the leader among them, as famous as Rufen Academy in Ruyang, Zhuge Academy in Nanyang Fucheng, Zhixue Academy, and Runan Academy in Runan County. It is much better than the so-called Fuxue Academy.

"The magistrate is so arrogant? With the current status of the Zhao family, he has given him generous gifts, and he doesn't even do any superficial friendship?"

He Zhihui raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky. He really didn't expect that Zhao Liang would go back at this time. This means that Zhao Liang held the sword and gave it to Su Hetai, but he didn't even have a meal.

"The Zhao family makes money by doing business and manipulates merchants, and it is inevitable that they are contemptuous of others." Zhao Liang was not ashamed of doing business at all, but he deliberately showed a hint of anger in front of He Zhihui. He picked up the wine cup and drank it all, "That's why I asked my cousin Ming to help me."
