Fu Tinghan never knew how difficult people's livelihood was, but it turned out to be this difficult.
He murmured: "It would be nice if there was cotton."
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Generally speaking, the cotton we talked about in that era refers to American cotton, but it is not that there was no cotton in this era."
Fu Tinghan looked at her.
Zhao Hanzhang said: "It is kapok. It is found in the south. Now some people in the south use kapok batting to fill bedding and clothes, and some people use it to weave clothes. However, there is no production volume, and it has not spread to the north."
"It's too late," Zhao Hanzhang put his hands behind his head and said, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky: "It takes a long time to go back and forth, and procurement also takes a certain amount of time. We can only find another way."
Fu Tinghan said: "If you can stay indoors, then charcoal is a heating method, and there is also a kang?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I have also thought about this method. This is one of the reasons why I have always wanted to build a masonry house."
Brick and stone houses are not only more windproof and warm, but also easier to build a kang.
Cottages……
She was afraid of burning the kang and burning the thatched hut.
Fu Tinghan also thought about it and muttered: "It seems that we really need to prepare to build a brick and stone house."
The two of them were worried, but the natives were not very worried about this problem.
In their opinion, the current situation is already very good.
After taking refuge with Zhao Hanzhang, they were able to eat three meals a day, really three meals. Even if there was not one meal that they could eat freely, at least they would not be hungry.
This is already rare nowadays.
Not to mention that Zhao Hanzhang still had to build a house for them and even prepare them with clothes and bedding for the winter.
When they fled, the best outcome they thought of was to go to Luoyang to beg. They would sleep in the streets and alleys, hungry and well-fed. After surviving this winter, they would see whether they could return to their hometown.
As the saying goes, if you move a tree to death, if you move a person, you will live. As long as you go out for a walk, you can always survive. If you really can't survive, we will talk about it when the time comes.
So they are very satisfied with the status quo.
It just worried the upper echelons of Xiping County.
Chang Ning was also trying his best to contact people he knew before to buy supplies. Only now did he realize the benefits of following a generous lord.
The money is at his disposal, as long as he can buy something of corresponding value.
She also did not hesitate to give things to the people, which was much more refreshing than Magistrate Chai who was searching for things and looking forward and backward.
Therefore, although I am tired and painful, I am also tired and happy. I would rather spend my money like running water, feeling pain and happiness at the same time.
In comparison, Ji Yuan was much calmer. Although he spent more money than Chang Ning, after all, he was Zhao Changyu's staff, and the money he had handled was nothing more than trivial matters.
So he was very calm, calmly buying supplies everywhere, and calmly facing inquiries from all parties.
The reinforcements that had been waiting in Aoyang and refused to leave finally left. Although they didn't get much benefit in the end, they at least made the governor shed some blood.
As reinforcements from all walks of life returned to their homes, the name Zhao Hanzhang spread throughout Yuzhou.
Now everyone in the counties knows that the Zhao family in Xiping has a daughter named Zhao Sanniang. Location.
I heard that although she was only fourteen years old, she was a fierce general on the battlefield. She not only repelled Jiehu Shile outside Zhao's Wubao, but also drove away the rebels in Xiping County, captured the Xiping County seat, and sent aid to Yao. When he entered Yangcheng, he also killed two generals of the Xiongnu army.
Yes, Liu Jing is also dead.
News of his death just came out, but he did not die in Yuzhou. It is said that he fled all the way to Shangdang. Because he did not receive good treatment on the way, his wound did not heal for a long time. He died of his injuries after returning to Shangdang to see Liu Yuan.
.
The wounds on his body came from Zhao Hanzhang. I heard that Zhao Hanzhang chased Liu Jing and shot the last arrow into his back. It was this arrow that caused lingering wounds and his final death.
Therefore, not only Yuzhou but also Luoyang had heard of Zhao Hanzhang.
However, compared to other generals who were attacking Luoyang, the news of Liu Jing's death was just an insignificant piece of information. The big guys in Luoyang brushed it off and did not take it to heart.
Except for two people.
One is Fu Zhi and the other is Zhao Zhongyu.
However, their moods were completely different.
Fu Zhi is complicated with a lot of joy, while Zhao Zhongyu is complicated with worries.
He has already felt that his command over his hometown in Xiping is getting weaker and weaker, and his control is far less than when his elder brother was the clan leader.
Zhao Hanzhang became the "county magistrate" of Xiping County. It was such an important matter, but he got the news from other places, not from Xiping.
This shows that Zhao of Xiping is deliberately hiding something from him.
If he was just Zhao Zhongyu, it would be okay, but he was still the patriarch of the Zhao family. When his eldest brother was the patriarch, would the Zhao family dare to conceal such an important thing from him?
Even Zhao Song, a fat tortoise suddenly appeared in Zhao Hu's pond, wrote a letter to tell Zhao Changyu.
Zhao Zhongyu couldn't help but call Zhao Ji, "This winter solstice, you go back to worship your ancestors, and come back after the New Year."
Zhao Ji refused to leave, "Father, Luoyang is under siege now. Don't say I can't get out. Even if I can get out, I can't abandon the city and run away. It won't sound good if the news spreads."
Zhao Zhongyu frowned slightly, "A lot of people have escaped from the city recently. When life and death are at stake, what's not good to hear?"
Zhao Ji still felt that following the King of Donghai was the safest, "It's even more unsafe on the road outside the city. Father, is there anything in Xiping that forces my son to go back?"
Zhao Zhongyu looked at him quietly for a while, then waved his hand and said, "That's it. If you don't come back, you won't come back."
He suddenly thought that Zhao Ming was now the magistrate of Xiping County, and it was he who petitioned for the title. If Zhao Hanzhang really took control of Xiping County, then Zhao Ming would be on her side.
Zhao Ji couldn't even fight Zhao Ming, let alone Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Ming standing together.
Forget it, there's not much point in him going back.
Zhao Zhongyu put the matter aside and turned a blind eye, pretending not to know about it.
Zhao Zhongyu could pretend that he did not know about this matter, but Liu Yuan could not. He remembered Zhao Hanzhang deeply.
Liu Jing was a member of Liu Yuan's clan, and he always valued him. Although Liu Jing did some things that did not please him, so he punished him to attack Yuzhou, and even after he ascended the throne, he did not let him come back.
But that doesn't mean he can sit back and watch him get killed.
Liu Jing is one of his fierce generals!
Liu Jing has been dead for three days, but Liu Yuan still feels heartbroken every time he thinks about it. He thought of his last words before his death, "This woman has good martial arts and clear eyes. She must not be a creature in the pool. Your Majesty, if you want to seize the Central Plains, this person must be eliminated."
Of."
Liu Yuan made a note of it, but this was the critical time to attack Luoyang, and he could not spare any manpower for the time being.
Therefore, he felt that after Luoyang was captured, he must go straight to Xiping, Runan, to take Zhao Hanzhang's head.
