Chapter 81: Chang Ning
Chang Shi saw Chang Wei first, holding his nephew's hand, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and his heart was extremely happy.
Chang Wei didn't remember much last time, but this time he had grown into a young man with a long body, and Chang couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Fortunately, Chang Wei had a sweet mouth, and said a few words to his aunt that were heart-wrenching, but he was much more sophisticated than his father.
In less than a quarter of an hour, everything was carried and placed properly, and there was also a nursing home in the house, Wang Changfu and Lao Cai retired one after another, and Chang wanted to leave them for dinner.
Chang Jinquan said enviously: "These subordinates of Brother Han are really capable, it is difficult for him to find these people." ”
Chang knew that Wang Changfu was originally a deserter, and later a porter, Lao Cai was simply a tiger on the street, or the kind of useless tiger, these people were slowly trained into this way in the hands of Zhang Han, but she was not easy to say, and she was suspected of boasting about her son.
The outsiders were almost gone, and Chang walked to the car and said with a smile: "It's the eldest sister inside, right?" ”
"That's right." Chang Jin's father was still staring at the chiming bell, so he had to be stepped forward by Chang Jinquan's uncle, and Chang Wei helped Chang Ning to take a taxi and get down.
"My niece has seen my aunt."
Chang Ning was very well-behaved, and at this time, Chang Shi carefully looked at his niece.
The body is very tall, about sixteen years old, probably not any longer, half a head taller than Chang's, the body is very slim, the clothes are also fitted, melon seed face, a pair of big eyes are smart and spiritual, especially the skin, white and red, blowing can be broken. When he bowed down to himself, his hands stretched out from his sleeves, and his hands were as white as snow, and his fingers were slender and tender, which made people rejoice when they saw them.
In terms of temperament, Chang Ning is generous, has a demure temperament, and his eyes are very smart, not like the kind of girl who doesn't go out much.
"It's really muscular, and the demeanor is elegant." Chang Shi glanced at it a few times, liked it in his heart, and couldn't help but boast: "The lips are red without dotting, the eyebrows are green without painting, the face is like a silver basin, and the eyes are like apricots, what a natural beauty embryo!" ”
Chang Ning was a little shy, but he still said naturally: "Aunt Xie, niece, praise." ”
"My own family, what's polite." Chang took off a delicately styled gold bracelet on his wrist and said with a smile: "This is Brother Han asked someone to call me, I think it is too fancy and not worthy of my age, but you, it must look much better when you wear it." ”
Chang Ning was a little hesitant, she looked at her father, Chang Jin was studying the self-striking bell in a daze, but Chang Jin said with a smile: "Your aunt gave it to you, what are you afraid of, just wear it." ”
"It's so pretty!" Changning is still a girl's house in the end, after wearing the bracelet, he raised his wrist to look at the sun, this bracelet is indeed beautiful, and it is a burst of golden light, Chang Ning is happy to see it, not that he likes gold, but he likes the style.
"I'll see it when you get out of the car, girls' families, although our Chang family is not a rich family, it's not good to be too public, don't dress too plainly." Chang smiled and grabbed Chang Ning's arm and said with a smile: "Come into the house and talk." ”
Chang Jinquan and Chang Wei followed, Chang Shi looked reluctant to see Chang Jinyou, and said with a smile: "There are more than 10,000 books in Brother Han's study, and there are also delicate things, and he is not at home, so you can go and see it, big brother, let's talk and drink tea in the first room, how about it?" ”
"Good, good, very good, no better."
The Chang family is a business family, no more than the Zhang family has scholarly roots, how can the family be willing to buy how many books, even if it is a family routine, it is also a big luck, see if you can produce a few reading seeds, and prepare some commonly used examination books, miscellaneous and other categorically will not buy, Chang Jinquan's own financial resources are limited, I heard that Zhang Han has more than 10,000 books, and I can't wait to fly over, but I gave up when I rang the bell.
Chang Shi smiled: "The eldest brother is still the same as he was back then. ”
Chang Jinquan said: "It's really strange, he never asks about the business, and he keeps an eye on other miscellaneous studies, and he likes agriculture in the past two years. ”
"Does it work?"
"It's really useful." Chang Jinquan said with a smile: "Originally, there were many people in the clan who gossiped, but later the eldest brother raised more than one stone per mu of harvest, and the people who spoke shut up." ”
"Brother Han likes these things too." Chang Shi listened to it and thought about his son, and sighed: "I just don't know when he will come back, and when he comes back, he must be talking to the eldest brother very much!" ”
"What did he do?"
"Let's talk about this in detail, there was a letter a few days ago, it has begun to take shape, and I will come back when the stove is ready."
Chang Shi held Chang Ning's hand, the family talked about it, and slowly went to the main hall.
Yang Liu and Lotus followed behind everyone, and when they entered the main hall, they were okay for the time being, and the two leaned under the eaves of the corridor and waited for instructions.
The two little maids were bought later, and Lotus watched the people of the Chang family enter the house, and whispered to Yang Liu: "It seems that this young lady may be the young grandmother that grandma likes, look at the way grandma looks at her, hum, in terms of appearance, what are you worse than her...... Last time, the young master vomited you, but it was a real loss. ”
Yang Liu is also extremely sad in his heart, if it happened that day, he would have become a concubine, and now he will have his own position in the team to welcome Miss Chang's family, first come and come first, even if he really has a housewife, his concubine position is also stable, maybe he can still have a son......
"Forget it, my life is not good." Zhang Han has not been at home recently, Yang Liu is not even bothered to take care of her makeup, even so, that natural beauty is difficult to hide, when she raised her face and looked into the distance, the delicate whiteness of her neck was also amazing, she said lazily: "The family is dilapidated, the young master is not very attentive to me, and I don't know who will fall into the hands of anyone in the future......
She rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Thank you for that bowl of tofu brain!" ”
"Alas...... I'm not a heart...... I won't fight with you for anything, although the young master is good, there will be women around me in the future, I would rather live with a young and promising, small family to live a happier life. ”
When it comes to his future prospects, even the lotus flowers sigh together.
In a blink of an eye, more than twenty days have passed, and Zhang Han has gradually opened up the situation here in Lingqiu.
Li Shenming stayed for more than ten days and left after seeing that everything was going well, he planned to take a move to Xuanfu and help Zhang Han open up some joint doors in advance.
The Fan family must have taken the lead in this, but the Fan family lagged behind Zhang Han in the preparation of many things, and now the two sides have their own advantages, Zhang Han wants to win a little more, what Li Shenming has to do is to expand this advantage a little more.
Zhang Han led Liang Hong, Liang Xing and others, and went to the iron field every day, and then the house over there was built, he simply took people to live in the iron field, from buying raw materials to hiring people, Zhang Han did not directly interfere in these things, and even did not directly interfere with Cai Jiu's management, but he was in charge, and everyone's morale was very high, after the mountain people in the neighboring villages had eaten enough here and received silver, the news spread, and the mountain people of more than a dozen nearby villages came to work, and the expansion of the iron field and the excavation of ore veins were accelerated several times. In just over 20 days, the furnace has become quite large-scale.
"The proprietor, but the number of miners is not large."
After this period of exercise, Cai Jiu's feeling of cowardice and timidity has decreased a lot, and his voice has become much brighter and more decisive, he frowned, holding a few lists in his hands, on which the names and origins of many miners are densely written...... There is also the name of the guarantor, the place of residence, and so on.
In order to strengthen the management of the miners, that is, to implement the "rules" mentioned by Zhang Han, and Yusheng Iron Field is particularly serious in these matters, there are some miners who may have cases in exile, even if they are experienced, they will never accept them. Instead of collecting these regular bombs and bombs, it is better to ask those innocent miners, even if they also love to gamble and fight, but they will be a little afraid to restrain themselves if they don't have a case.
This kind of thing, just like not collecting darts and not deserting soldiers, Gaine has escaped once, or has been a rebel once, and has done a mess, and there will naturally be a direct response in the future, and there is also the possibility of managing well, but why take such a risk?
Cai Jiu has been trained by Zhang Han every day, and he has made rapid progress, he originally knew some words, and now he is doing some charts and looking at the directory for archiving, these things are very good to do, Zhang Han asked Liang Hong to transfer some literate guys from everywhere to help...... The iron yard here will be a very important profit point in the future, there may be at least five or six thousand people here in the future, and even the blacksmiths and other forged manpower, there may be nearly 10,000 people, plus a large number of dart masters will be recruited among the miners, it can be said that the importance of Lingqiu here in the future will even exceed that of Xinping Fort.
It was raining lightly outside, the sky and the earth were vast, and the mountains in the distance were shrouded in misty smoke and rain, and their faces became blurred.
In such weather, of course, the furnaces of other houses have also been stopped, and the furnaces cannot be opened without waiting for the weather, and the miners have left the mine in twos and threes, and wandered around, Cai Jiu was originally sitting and looking at the list, but Zhang Han, the proprietor, stood under the eaves in front of the door and watched the rain scene, inhaling the rare fresh air...... Dongshan here, it's hard to say anything else, just in terms of air, I'm afraid it's one of the worst places in this era, it is estimated that it is the mining area around Ma'anshan in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the mining area in eastern Fujian, these places can be compared with Dongshan here, other places, even if the capital is a dense area with a population of more than one million, firewood and charcoal are used every day, and the air is definitely much better than here.
