I, the younger brother of King Zhou, lead the Taoist ancestors to do business

Shan Shizi was lying in the courtyard of the Benxing City Government Office, the reclining chair under him was swaying back and forth, and the white clothes were hanging down from the gap of the reclining chair.

He looked up, and the petals of the old tree fell from the air, and he saw the blue bricks on the wall through the gaps between the petals.

When the original work of "Feng Shen Bang" described the Yin Palace, it also gave people the concept that this is a formal palace.It is tall and oppressive, and it is full of endless palace walls at a glance. Inside, there are palace people trembling and living under the shadow of King Zhou and his favorite concubine Daji.

But in fact, the Yin Shang palace in real history was not so luxurious.

But what Zisheng traversed was not history, but a mythical world.Therefore, it is not surprising that blue bricks with such mature skills can be used in the construction of government offices.

Although Zisheng looked at Qingzhuan, he was thinking of the poor people of the Yin and Shang Dynasties in his mind.

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation, people's lives are getting better day by day, but the place where they live seems to have not improved from the beginning to the end.

"Living" is very important in a person's life, and everything in daily life is inseparable from "living".If the place where the people live is settled, the happiness of the people can be greatly improved!

Zi Sheng has been around Yin Shang many times, and he knows the situation of the people better than anyone else.

Nowadays, most of the people live in thatched huts and mud embryo houses, and some people live in caves.Looking around, there are very few people who can afford to live in brick houses, and most of them are nobles with prominent families.

It's not that there are no bricks and tiles, but that the production of blue bricks is complicated and expensive, and the cost alone is not affordable for the people who couldn't even afford food.

However, as the living conditions of the people are getting better and better, improving the living environment of the people should also be put on the agenda.

Zisheng's brain is full of things, and he thinks of the red bricks used to build houses in later generations.Although the attributes of red bricks are not as good as those of blue bricks, the energy consumed to burn one blue brick is enough to make four or five red bricks.

After making up his mind, Zisheng hurriedly asked for the craftsman who brought Benxing City back then.

Zisheng was also lucky, as the craftsman said he happened to be good at firing green bricks.

Because Benxing City was suffering and the city was destroyed at that time, among the craftsmen sent by Zisheng happened to be people who were good at repairing city walls, and the generals who fired green bricks were among them.

Zisheng is familiar with the process of firing red bricks, and knows some details.So when he handed this matter over to the craftsman, within ten days, the craftsman handed him a nearly perfect red brick.

Zisheng was overjoyed when he saw it, and he asked the craftsman if he could ask for the name of Brick Ding?

Brick Ding naturally wanted it, and he had no place to put his hands after getting Brick Ding's name.

In fact, he fired the red bricks in five days, but the surface of the red bricks still had some slight defects, and the appearance was not perfect.On the ninth day, he finally fired red bricks of excellent quality.He spent another whole day picking among the many bricks before he finally got the one in the hands of the Regent.

He looked at the red brick in His Highness's hand and heaved a sigh of relief. He naturally knew why the red brick was fired.

Red bricks are good, red bricks are good, and if they really want to burn out green bricks, the common people dare not use them.

There are so many civilians in the Shang Dynasty, although the poor make up the majority, but in addition to the nobles, there are always a few wealthy households in a city.

A few cities are fine, but the nobles and government officials turn a blind eye to the common people's green brick houses.But some cities are different. The nobles think that these are blue bricks that only the nobles can use. Ordinary people dare to use them and push their houses. In serious cases, they even confiscate their property.

Therefore, over time, even if there are very few people who can afford to build green brick houses, they dare not build them.

After the red bricks were fired, Zisheng didn't leave ink, and quickly ordered people to build a brick factory.

Zhuan Ding took in a few more disciples, and the disciples left Benxing City after learning the skills and went to other cities.The local officials received the order from the regent and also cooperated with those disciples to build a brick factory.After the disciples accepted the younger disciples, the younger disciples went to other cities.

In this way, more and more brick factories were built in Yinshang territory.

The folk husbands who could not get jobs originally, because of the construction of the brick factory, a lot of jobs fell to them.Of course, the recruitment market is still in short supply. After all, each city only has one or two brick factories, and the larger cities support three or four, and the jobs that can be provided are limited.

However, the rise of the brick factory has given many civilian workers a place to use their skills, and everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief when they are fighting for jobs.

Yin Shang has opened so many jobs, it is bound to pay more money.Someone once worried about Zisheng, but Zisheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "The red bricks people need to build a house require them to work for a year to save enough money to buy red bricks, and the red bricks needed to build a house A person in charge of the brick factory can make red bricks in half a month."

This is equivalent to Zisheng not only being able to pay their wages with the work they did, but also empty gloves for another eleven and a half months.

Folk, a wealthy family.

The old lady gave birth to three sons and two daughters. The daughters are all married, and the sons are getting married one after another.

Among them, the eldest and the second family have children, and the oldest child is nine years old, and sometimes they do more work than the elderly.

Although they get along with each other a little friction, but the overall harmony.

On this day, a family gathered around a big table. The two old men looked serious, and the faces of the sons were a little apprehensive.

The old man sighed, poked the ground with his cane and said, "Although everyone has the same meaning, then this matter is settled like this."

The youngest son reached out his hand to say something, but put it down anyway.

The eldest son hesitated and said, "Father, do we really want to sell all our food for red bricks?"

The second son patted the table and disagreed with his elder brother's words, "Brother, look at what you said! The old Wangtou, the head of the village, has an enmity with our family. Now the house is built, strong and rich. Their family is not good. Well, people in the village couldn't wait to see them, but since the house was built, how many people ran to their house to make good relations with their house?"

The second daughter-in-law then interjected: "Yes, since the new king ascended the throne, our life has improved day by day. We spent two years planting the 30-year ration, and we are using it to build a house today. By the end of this year I have collected a few more years of rations. Is it still worrying about food? Besides, there is more and more food. I think we can feed it for a lifetime after four or five years of planting. The remaining food must be sold. Sell sooner and later Aren’t the sales the same? Why don’t you come here in the morning and build a house for us, and after the house is built, our younger generations can enjoy it.”

The expressions of the whole family couldn't help being moved, and the second and third children finally had nothing to say.

In the end, the old man made the decision, and the matter of building the house was settled in this way.

Although they all looked sad during the discussion, they were all happy when they took the money to negotiate with the brick manufacturer, which was happier than the birth of their grandson!

The shrewd second child went to bargain with the brick factory. The eldest was honest and strong, and he borrowed a cart from the village.

The family who borrowed his car congratulated upon seeing this and said: "Hey, Boss Li, is this going to build a house? It's a good thing, not to mention our village, there are not many houses built in our city. If your family builds a house When it’s finished, please invite me to have a look, I’m not coming empty-handed, I’ll bring you some freshly laid eggs from our chickens.”

Although the boss usually doesn't talk much, he can't help but say a few more words when he hears congratulations.

He pulled the car to the brick factory, and the second and third children helped unload the bricks on the car. The smiles on the corners of the brothers' mouths never stopped from the beginning to the end.

After returning home, the old lady and the old man were waiting at the door.Although the old man is quite old, he insists on coming over to help with important matters at home.

The old lady was in poor health, so she passed cotton cloths soaked in water to her sons.

When the house was built, people came to join in the fun every day in the name of helping.Their family is well-connected, and it is much easier to build a house than the old Wang of the village head.They didn't even have to do much, and the neighbors rushed to get the job done.

The built house is neat and dignified, not as messy as a thatched house, and the room is not ventilated.

Seeing this, the neighbors couldn't help but tut: "Except for the different color, this looks almost the same as the official's yamen. The house is so good that I dare not enter it."

Although they said so, their eyes never left the house they built.

Their desire to build a house is getting stronger and stronger, and they can't wait to make money to buy bricks day and night.

Zisheng considered the financial resources of the people, and he thought that there were very few people who could afford to build brick houses.

Unexpectedly, when he flew over Yin Shang to check the current situation of the people, he found that the number of newly built brick houses was three times what he expected!

Zisheng felt strange, and after he went back, he ordered someone to investigate the situation.

In less than an hour, the palace servants rushed to report.

"His Royal Highness, the granary can't hold it anymore!"

Zisheng:? ?

A pair of big black eyes flickered, and the regent was a little confused.

Benxing City here.

Shan Shizi Sheng is negotiating with Wen Taishi and Huang Feihu.

After a while, Zisheng couldn't move, and sighed for a long time.

Zisheng is Grand Master Wen's darling, Wen Zhong hurriedly said with concern: "Your Highness has something on your mind, why don't you talk to the old minister, and the old minister can see if he can relieve His Highness's worries."

Wen Zhong really thought that something important happened to Zisheng, but Zisheng put his hands on his face and said indifferently: "Master, our granary is full."

Wen Zhong was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "This is a good thing! I have never seen the granary full before!"

Wen Zhong clenched his palms when he said this, not to mention that he had never seen a granary full. He followed Di Xin in his last life, and the granary he saw was cleaner than a pocket.

He went on to say: "Since it is full, why not expand it? Where is the Yin Shang still lacking in manpower?"

Zisheng sighed again "helplessly", but a smile appeared in his dark eyes.

"But after the expansion is completed, the granary is full again. This king has no choice but to expand it again. After the expansion is completed, it will be full. There is too much food, and this king has nothing to do. What should I do!"

Wen Zhong, who has never seen Versailles but heard Versailles for the first time:  …

"This... this..." He was stunned.

"Teacher, we have too much food, and this king can save it for two or three years at most. What if it breaks after two or three years?"

As Zisheng said, he approached Grand Master Wen with a smile and said, "Teacher, Xiqi Han Dulong can use rice buckets to store grain, can we find rice buckets to store grain? We have too much food, we have to find a way to collect it." Go in a little, and take it out later when you need to.”
