Chapter 9

Qin Huaidao sat in the study, looking at the letter written by his aunt. In the letter, the aunt said that she was fine, just missing Chang'an and wanted to come to Chang'an to worship his elder brother!

When she learned about Qin Huaidao, she was worried. In the letter, her aunt advised herself to think more easily. As long as she was there, she should not think too much about other things.

I advise you to be young and to make achievements for the court in the future and make new contributions. Don’t be sad because of this!

Qin Huaidao looked at it for a while and then sat there and started to reply to his aunt, telling him about the family affairs, writing a whole eight pieces of paper, and then encapsulated it in an envelope!

When the messenger returns, he will tell them to take them over.

At this moment, the messenger was also with the housekeeper. The messenger was an old man from the Qin Mansion. When he came back here, he naturally had many acquaintances. He was also very happy to learn about the changes in the mansion during this period. He knew that the young master is doing steadily now and is slowly building his family business. The messenger was very excited.

Then, the messenger left Chang'an City and wanted to go to the Qin family village to see that he also had relatives in the Qin family village.

Three days later, the messenger was about to go back, pulling three trucks of gifts, all prepared by Qin Huaidao himself!

"Qin Wulang, this time I went to Shouzhou and told my aunt that everything is fine in the mansion. You have also seen the situation in the mansion these days, so I told my aunt not to worry about it and take good care of her health!

This is my reply to my aunt. I will keep it safe and don’t lose it!" Qin Huaidao handed the letter to the messenger.

"Well, young master, I have heard about it these days. Young master, you must take good care of yourself. Young master cannot serve you in front of you. I just hope that the young master can cheer up!

Young Master, everyone in Qinzhuang said that Young Master is good, and the young man has heard of it. His Majesty has also given me a reward recently. The eldest lady will definitely be happy when she finds out.

Young Master, the young man said goodbye. When he returned to Shouzhou, he would pray for the young man every day. May the young man be healthy and revitalize his family business!" The messenger bowed and said emotionally to Qin Huaidao.

In ancient times, people were very loyal and loyal. The soldiers and servants in every mansion were loyal to the head of the family. They all knew that the head of the family was good and the family was good, so they could be good!

"Okay, I'm kind! Take care of you all the way!" Qin Huaidao helped him up, patted his arm and said, and then they set off to start to Shouzhou. Qin Huaidao walked to the gate and watched them leave.

"Young Master!" the housekeeper shouted softly from behind.

"Hmm?" Qin Huai said nodded.

"Go away!" the butler said in a low voice again.

"Yes!" Qin Huaidao nodded, walked into the mansion with his hands behind his back,

The butler looked at the convoy that had already left outside the mansion, sighed and went in.

On that day, Qin Huaidao was reading books in the study, and his father left him with a large number of books. In the Tang Dynasty, books were very rare. Aristocratic families controlled a large number of books. The poor family had no books to read.

Although the Qin family was not a family, his father also liked to collect books during his lifetime. There were more than a thousand books in his house. Qin Huaidao was at home and had nothing to do. In addition, he also liked to be quiet. Reading was the best choice, and he could quickly understand the thinking context of this era.

Occasionally, I also left the city and told the farmers to level the foundations. At the same time, I also went around the mountains and bought a barren mountain, which was all clay, and the other barren mountain was limestone, and I also ordered people to build a shed in two places.

He also asked the women from the village households to get sand and gravel in the river and transport it to the village.

On rainy days, Qin Huaidao designed some tools and drawings at home and ordered the carpenter and blacksmith to make them.

"Young Master!" On that day, Qin Huaidao was reading a book and the butler came in.

"Is there anything wrong?" Qin Huaidao put down the book and looked at the butler and asked.

"Mr. It's March now, and the weather is getting warmer. Master, if you want to rebuild a house in the village, you should start to do it!" The housekeeper came over and reminded Qin Huaidao.

"Yes, it's getting warmer. Construction is about to start. It's necessary to build some houses before the wheat harvest. OK, let's go now!" Qin Huaidao heard this, stood up and said to the butler.

"Yes!" The housekeeper immediately went out and began to instruct people to let the servants follow him.

Qin Huai said that after leaving Chang'an City, he went to the three villages and mobilized some men from the villages to go to the Limestone Mountain and the Clay Mountain, took out the tools, and prepared to start working. Those who went to the Limestone Mountain need to start building a lime kiln first. This requires Qin Huaidao's personal guidance.

When I went to the other side of the Clay Mountain, Qin Huaidao ordered them to make brick embryos. Qin Huaidao demonstrated once and they would do it!

After the lime was cooked, Qin Huaidao asked someone to transport the lime back and put it into the dug pit. Inject a large amount of lime into it. Then Qin Huaidao went to the brick embryo and ordered the farmers to start building brick kilns. After the construction, they began to burn bricks and all the blue bricks and tiles!

At the same time, he also ordered the three farms to start digging the foundation. Because there were a lot of people needed to hire, Qin Huaidao also invited many people from the surrounding farms to work, one copper coin or 10 kilograms of corn a day, and many people worked.

In less than half a month, the three farms dug a lot of foundations, all of which were 180 square meters square houses, and also brought kitchens and livestock, one by one, neatly arranged.

After the limes were completely discharged, Qin Huaidao began to instruct the merchants to tell them how to make lime mortar to lay foundations and walls. Qin Huaidao basically didn't have to do anything, just directed them to work!

It was raining on this day, and Qin Huaidao did not go out. Instead, he read books and built a house at home. With the managers in the mansion watching him, he didn't have to worry.

All they should do is done by themselves. They can handle these things themselves. The mansion just needs to pay for it.

And the money can't be spent a lot, just to buy wood and pay the wages of other farmers. Qin Huaidao predicts that this matter can be handled without spending 500 knots.

"Young Master, the eldest master of the Cheng family of Duke Lu is here!" Qin Huaidao was reading a book, and a manager came in to report that the housekeeper had gone to the village. Qin Huaidao was relieved, he was worried, he wanted to stare at the village households over there to work.

"Ask!" Qin Huaidao said and stood up and arrived at the entrance of the hall. At this time, it was raining heavily outside. Qin Huaidao saw Cheng Chusi coming in a straw raincoat!

"Brother Cheng, come here at this time?" Qin Huaidao saw him coming, so he helped him take off his straw raincoat.

"Oh, I said Boping, what do you think? I only realized today that you are going to build so many blue brick houses in the village! There are already discussions outside!" Cheng Chusi said, and handed the straw raincoat to Qin Huaidao's servants and said anxiously to Qin Huaidao.

"After talking about it, just to build a blue brick house? Why are you talking about it? What does my house have to do with them?" Qin Huaidao was puzzled. The houses in Zhuangzi were all broken. Shouldn't they be built?

"Oh!" Cheng Chusi said and entered the hall. Qin Huaidao followed, and immediately a servant brought tea.

This tea is different from the previous tea. It was specially sent by Qin Huaidao to the tea merchants who supply tea to his mansion for many years. He fryed it himself in an iron pot. He did not mean drinking tea without any reason.

"Well, it's not that you can't build it! It's that you shouldn't build it like this? If you build a house like this, there is no one that can't get tens of thousands of yuan!" Cheng Chusi said to Qin Huaidao anxiously.

"Why do you need so much?" Qin Huaidao was also shocked. He had not spent 100 guan so far. There were more than 50 houses under construction. Moreover, Qin Huaidao also booked the wood. It is estimated that 300 guan can be paid. Why do you need so much money?

"Blue bricks! Do you know how much it costs if you use blue bricks and green tiles? Three blue bricks require one cent, you can calculate it!

Wouldn't you just let them use earth to ramm? Why do you have to build such a good construction? People outside say that you are a prodigal son, and you don't feel sorry for selling your family land. The Qin family's family business will be ruined sooner or later! How can you build a house for the farmhouse like this?" Cheng Chusi said to Qin Huaidao anxiously. He hoped that Qin Huaidao would be sensible and not lose his family business.

"But I don't need to spend so much money. I'll forget it. I'll spend up to 500 guan. 500 guan, and building 800 houses is enough!

I burned the bricks myself and didn’t need money. After the disaster last year, those farmers were originally kept by the mansion. In addition, they built houses for them, so they didn’t need wages, and the people they hired didn’t have much wages!" Qin Huaidao sat there, bowing his hand and saying to Cheng Chusi.

"What, you can burn blue bricks? No, if you burn blue bricks, that's not right!" At this moment, Cheng Chusi thought that something was wrong,

The fire of blue bricks is very slow, and it is said that Qin Huaidao has already built many blue brick houses. In other words, Qin Huaidao's village may now have a large number of blue bricks. These blue bricks need to be customized in advance. If the quantity is large, it will take a long time to wait.

"Brother, why is it wrong?" Qin Huaidao still didn't understand what Cheng Chusi was wondering, so he stared at him.

"It is impossible to burn blue bricks so quickly, right? I have bought blue bricks, a brick house, a maximum of 2,000 yuan. My mansion had to build a yard before, and I waited for bricks for three months!" Cheng Chusi turned his head and looked at Qin Huaidao and asked. He felt that Qin Huaidao could not get so many blue bricks at once.

"Hehe, Brother Cheng, my quick, I can burn 50,000 bricks in this kiln. I have built ten brick kilns, and it takes about half a month for one kiln!" Qin Huaidao smiled and touched his head, saying a little proudly.

"Ah? How is this possible?" Cheng Chusi stood up in shock and stared at Qin Huaidao.

"It's just outside the city. It's raining heavily now and I can't take you there. Otherwise, I'll take you brother to see you!" Qin Huaidao said to Cheng Chusi with a smile.
