Qin Zhao's uncle Jiang Weishan lamented: "It was just that I was too poor before, and Yingzi went there early!"

Jiang Yutao leaned on a crutch and said loudly: "What happened to you when you left early? People always die. With Zhaoer's outstanding young man, she also smiled in the dark."

The two uncles Jiang Weishan and Jiang Biwu nodded repeatedly and said, "Father is right."

The group walked into the entrance of the village and immediately the children from Qinjia Village ran to the village to report the news. Then the jumping children led Jiang Yutao and his group to the wall of the village where Qin Zhao was.

Jiang Yutao came up and grabbed Qin Zhao's hand and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, my grandson!"

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Grandpa! Which gust of wind blows you?"

Jiang Yutao pointed at Qin Zhao's two uncles and three cousins.

"It's not for them!"

"Qin Zhao, you are now well-developed, and you can't forget your relatives. I heard that you hire people to do things and give meat and meat to every meal. I wish you could eat delicacies for hired workers and pay two taels of silver a month a month?"

"You also said that you hired hundreds of servants and cooked donkey meat for the servants to eat and drink on the first day. You also gave them old Jinhua wine? Are you real or fake? You also said that you made clothes for the servants, which is more particular than the emperor's Beijing camp!"

Now there are rumors that Qin Zhao’s kindness to the servants’ team are everywhere, and some rumors are highly distorted, and even the donkey meat is burned out.

"Your uncles are not very wealthy at home. I will make the decision and let them follow you in the future!"

Qin Zhao looked at his two uncles and three cousins.

Jiang Yutao took Qin Zhao's hand and said, "If I hadn't been the decision to marry your mother to your father, now I wouldn't have you! Today, I would have asked your two uncles and three cousins ​​to do things with you. Can't I do this?"

Qin Zhao laughed and said, "It's done! Of course, Grandpa, the Lord!"

...

On August 18th, Qin Zhao came to Xu Deshan and Xu Xianggong's house.

Xu Deshan is the tooth man who does brick and tile projects in this area.

Brick and tile projects are large-scale construction projects such as houses, village walls or river embankments. There are many bricklayers in Xiangshan County, but most of the places they live in are not in the city, and many of them are farmer men who have farmland outside the city. This is different from the later generations of migrant workers' construction teams everywhere. The project volume in the Ming Dynasty was not that large, so migrant workers did not stay in the engineering team all year round, and even the masons' teams were not in the town.

However, there were also large-scale brick and tile projects in the Ming Dynasty. The construction of brick and tile projects often required many brick and tile projects, and the number of people needed was dozens or hundreds of people. The investors of the project often did not know where to find so many brick and tile machines.

This requires people familiar with masons, who can gather masons who are sufficient to complete the project at one time, bargain with the project investors, and agree on the workers' prices and conditions for use of raw materials.

Xu Deshan was an scholar on the surface, and his family had hundreds of acres of fertile land. But in his spare time, he was doing the business of the brick and tile project. As long as the project owner found Xu Deshan, he could find a sufficient number of masons to start construction.

Xu Deshan took 5% of his tooth money from the upper and lower families, which was enough to make the most of his party.

This time, Qin Zhao found Xu Deshan.

Qin Zhao built a earthen wall for his base Qinjia Village, which was enough to discourage the thieves and thieves. But this was not enough. If you want to prevent the attacks of thieves, even the soldiers of the officials and even the soldiers of the Zheng family, the village wall must be built with bricks. With the female wall with hanging households, you can truly prevent the shooting of bows and arrows and allow the villagers to stand firm on the city wall.

Qin Zhao is preparing to place all the main industrial facilities in Qinjia Village, such a defense level is the most basic.

Since Qin Zhao was going to carry out brick and tile projects, he naturally found Xu Deshan.

Xu Deshan met Qin Zhao in the lobby.

According to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, guests usually come to the second hall. Unless the social status of the visitors is much higher than that of the host, the host must open the door of the lobby and meet guests in the most formal place. In such places, guests emphasize etiquette, and sometimes etiquette is more important than what is really about.

Qin Zhao's situation belongs to this kind of situation.

Xu Deshan came up and bowed to Qin Zhao, who was wearing a thousand-house official robe. Although the gentry of the Ming Dynasty had a high social status, scholars were the most introductory among the gentry, and their social status was limited. If Qin Zhao's Qianhu official rank was equivalent to the captain of the county armed police squadron in later generations, Xu Deshan's scholar's fame was equivalent to a lecturer in a local university.

No matter how respected local university teachers are, they still cannot match the captain of the armed police squadron. This is the difference between civilians and officials.

What's more, Qin Zhao's thousand households were enfeoffed by imperial edicts, and no one in Xiangshan County knew what was going on.

Qin Zhao helped Xu Deshan up and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, please come and make a brick in the village wall."

Xu Deshan stood up straight and said, "Qin Qianhu, Mr. Qin Youli, whom you sent earlier, has already told me that I also called the mason's troupe. But..." Xu Deshan took a breath and said, "Qin Qianhu really wants to pay for the bricks to wrap the bricks for the village walls of Qinjia Village?"

Qin Zhao nodded and said yes.

Xu Deshan took a breath and said, "This is not a small number. Qin Qianhu please sit and have a tea." He walked to the coffee table and picked up the abacus and made a sniping. "The new village wall of Qinjia Village is 91 zhang long from north to south, 41 zhang wide from east to west, and 262 zhang walls on all sides."

"The wall is 1,5 feet high, two floors on both sides, plus the female wall on the top and foot bricks, each meter needs 1,400 bricks. The village wall of these 262 feet requires 350,000 bricks."

"Now there is a craftsman in the east of the county to open the furnace and burn bricks. Each brick costs ten cents, and then 350,000 bricks will cost 3,500 taels of silver."

"Qin Qianhu, the village walls are covered with bricks, which is a huge sum of money. You can buy fertile land for hundreds of acres."

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Xu doesn't need to worry about my lack of money."

Xu Deshan took a breath and said, "Qin Qianhu made fun of it. Qin Qianhu operated a spring soft chair, which was a transaction of gold and silver. How could he lose this little money? I just felt very grateful for the villagers of Qinjia Village. A Qin Qianhu was born to surrender to Qinjia Village, and the poor people in the village got great benefits."

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "How much does a bricklayer cost?"

Xu Deshan said: "I have already made an appointment with eight masons in the second hall. I went in and asked them how much it costs for such a large village wall."

Qin Zhao nodded, and Xu Deshan went in.

After a while, Xu Deshan and the bricklayers negotiated a rough agreement on the price and asked their eldest son Xu Bin to come in and call Qin Zhao.

"I dared to ask Qin Qianhu to move, and follow me to the second hall to talk about the price. Mr. Qianhu, those masons are really vulgar, so it is stunning to let them come to the lobby!"

Let those with outstanding personal experience move to the location of the poor and weak to negotiate prices. Qin Zhao knew that this was a trick to suppress the powerful customer, so as to reduce the psychological differences between the superiors and subordinates and increase the probability of business negotiations.

He smiled and said, "When you are doing business, just treat me like an ordinary guest."

Qin Zhao followed Xu Bin to the inner room.

However, the Lobby and the Second Hall of the Xu family are not connected. The Second Hall of the Xu family is quite far from the lobby and has to walk through a corridor, which is winding around. Qin Zhao walked halfway and was about to touch the opposite side at a corner, but suddenly bumped into something soft.
