Chapter 252 Wintersweet Blooms in Spring

**

Smashing mud and rolling noodles into Han's house, the sound covers up the noise. Guests bring themselves light tea, sorry to say they have no time.

Hearing the words and looking at the river sand, one pile is weighed down by thousands. The late plum blossoms are especially blooming in the streets, and the city is filled with fragrance.

Several people looked at the palace, walked around, and learned that the people with the ten surnames of the Western Turks had finally left. Queen Wang suggested that they go back. They were tired and wanted to rest.

Chang'an Ling Pei Yaoqing couldn't rest. He had just received news from Qianniu Guard.

Call the people in the yamen to hold a brief meeting, and then everyone disperses to find someone to help promote it.

Chang'an is part of the Loess Plateau and there is no shortage of sediment, especially the sediment used for making pottery.

The people who got the news first ran out of the city to dig mud. With more people, it was easier to dig up the frozen soil and collect the mud.

There are also people washing sand by the river and sifting it through sieves.

They want ordinary pottery, and the clay they don't want is similar.

The proportions of sand and mud, and to what extent it was to be achieved, had been told to them.

When the city gate was closed at night, some people had brought back a lot of mud, boiled some hot water, and kneaded and rolled it all night.

When Pei Yaoqing went home at night, he still had drunken crabs, but he felt extremely ashamed when he ate them.

As agreed yesterday, no one can help a large number of people find jobs at this time of year.

His Majesty hurried to Li Yizhuangzi after holding a court meeting early this morning, and news came in the afternoon.

It's very simple, everyone plays with mud together and then exchanges the mud for pottery or money.

If you have pottery, you will have more utensils at home, so there is no need to buy any more.

It is naturally more convenient to ask for money.

But after all calculations, pottery is better. The money you earn cannot buy those pottery.

"It's really shameful to eat good food but not be able to think of good solutions for the people."

Pei Yaoqing criticized himself and then started eating hard.

Pei Yaoqing thought about it, why should I compare with Li Yi? Didn't the three prime ministers say the same thing yesterday?

Wait until tomorrow to see what the prime ministers say? I guess they are thick-skinned and have forgotten many things.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the second day of official work, His Majesty did not come back in the morning, as the three prime ministers were accustomed to.

"I heard that many people went out to dig mud out of the city yesterday afternoon." Yao Chong spoke first after finishing some important matters.

"Make clay for pottery and collect it from Li Yi. You can exchange it for money and get baked pottery.

Pei Yaoqing has asked people to send a message to the nearby kiln, asking them if they want it. The price is set. "

Zhang said he despises Yao Chong, but you still ask as if you don't know?

When you got home last night, you didn't find anyone to find out more about it?

"I actually thought about it yesterday, but it's a pity that I don't have a kiln at home." Yao Chong said with an upright face.

Lu Huaishen put down the tea cup, he didn't want to drink anymore, he wanted to vomit.

"You two, let's go and see if the idea is good or not. After all, we want to let the people speak." Yao Chong wanted to go out for a walk.

The New Year has just passed, and apart from the issue of the ten surnames of Western Turks, there are no other major events.

The Western Turks couldn't stay idle at Honglu Temple, so they went to Li Yizhuangzi to change things.

I heard from people at Honglu Temple that after those people went over to change things, they secretly said that Li Yi was stupid.

Oh my gosh! How could you have such an idea?

You are doing business with profit, and you think Li Yi is stupid. This can only mean one thing. You have been deceived miserably.

You sell him a sheep, and he takes out the suet and makes candles. Those candles can be exchanged for at least two of your sheep.

The other mutton, sheepskin, and sheep became Li Yi's property.

Zhang said that he had thought about the things he should deal with, and he nodded.

"Okay, let's go to Chongxianfang. It's next to the West Market and there are many poor people." Lu Huaishen expressed his support.

He actually wanted to see the progress of his home's construction today.

In winter, when others don’t build houses, there are many people watching at my house.

The three of them went out and took a carriage together.

Yao Chong and Lu Huaishen didn't get out of the car, so they took the car Zhang said.

"Do you think my carriage horses don't need to eat?" Zhang said and complained.

The other two people didn't say anything and just sat down anyway. Does it have anything to do with us whether your horse eats or not?

The carriage came out of Anfu Gate on the west side of the imperial city, first passed by the government office, and continued southward to the government office of Wei Zhigu's family.

In front of Wei Zhigu's house, the car stopped deliberately, and the smell of mutton soup wafted out.

"He is eating mutton. He is rich." Yao Chong said with a smile.

"I'm in a bad mood and I'm sick, so I need to take some medicine." Lu Huaishen said to Yao Chong, "It's all because of you, Yao Chong."

"Don't be afraid, Li Yi is here." Yao Chong said something to comfort himself.

The car continued to go south until it reached Chongxianfang.

The plum blossoms planted in the village have not completely fallen, and they are still proud of the snow and frost.

"It will be gone in a few days." Zhang said, looking at the plum branches sticking out of the shop.

"It doesn't matter if it's gone. It's turned into mud and ground into dust, but only the fragrance remains."

Yao Chong said, feeling annoyed, isn't this the poem Li Yi wrote for Pingkangfang?

When we arrived at Lu Huaishen's house, there were indeed many people watching.

The three people got out of the car and everyone saluted. They knew Lu Huaishen and his family lived here.

Lu Huaishen took a bag of tea from Zhang's car, and Li Longji took it from Li Yi as a gift to the prime ministers.

Zhang said: "..."

"I don't have much left," he said.

"New tea will arrive soon after spring starts. I'll take you to your neighbor's house to have a look. His family can't afford good tea."

Lu Huaishen said and walked around, knocked on the door and went in.

There was a crackling sound coming from inside, and an old man and an old lady were playing in the mud with a family of seven.

The family of seven lives in two rooms. The old couple and their second son live in one room, and the eldest son, daughter-in-law, and two children live in one room. UU reading www. uukanshu.net

The seven people divided the work, kneading the mud, smashing the mud, mixing in the washing sand, and rolling it with a rolling pin to make the mud and sand better mixed.

"Lao Wu, does this new method work?" Lu Huaishen asked as soon as he came in.

"It's been a big help. Lao Lu, you can invite people to sit down. We've boiled water over there and have some old tea." The old man greeted Lu Huaishen casually.

"I brought you tea. Your Majesty gave it to you. Drink some and keep the rest." Lu Huaishen said and went to get something to pour water to make tea.

Zhang Shuo and Yao Chong sat down on the couch without any objection.

Lu Huaishen made three bowls of tea, and all three bowls were chipped.

"Lao Wu, do you want to change money or pottery?" Lu Huaishen asked while waiting for the tea to brew.

"There are many people in the family, some exchange money, and some exchange pottery. Speaking of Pei Mingfu, he is indeed a good county magistrate, and he can always find work for us."

While the old man was kneading there, he found some big pieces of sand, pinched them out and threw them away.

"Lao Wu, this is not what Pei Yaoqing thought. It includes briquettes and ice cutting. It's your Majesty." Lu Huaishen corrected his mistake.

"Yes, yes, it's your Majesty. It's your Majesty who ordered Pei Mingfu to go to Chang'an." The old man said smoothly.

"Have life at home been easy recently?" Yao Chong asked as he watched the family working.

"Of course it's good to make money. Who would have thought that I could still find something to make a lot of money at this time? A few years ago..."

The old man came out carrying large grains of sand and talked about the past.

The three of them just listened, interjecting a word from time to time.

After the tea was finished, the three of them left and went to someone else's house.

The visit ended at almost noon.

A gust of wind blew, Zhang Shui sniffed and said, "The plum blossoms in the city are still very fragrant."
