After dinner, Huo Lingzhi sat at the table and cleaned his saber.

Luo Zining liked to watch martial arts dramas when he was a child, and he yearned for the swords in the hands of heroes. He even bought plastic ones when he was a child, but he didn't do such things when he grew up.

Now seeing Huo Lingzhi wiping his sword at home, he couldn't help leaning over to look at it, with admiration and longing on his face, he really wanted to hold it in his hand and have a look.

However, he remembered that it was written in the original text that Huo Lingzhi treats this sword like his own wife, and no one can touch it. However, the original owner was able to bully Huo Lingzhi like this at the beginning, and he was not directly chopped off by Huo Lingzhi.When he came here, Huo Lingzhi was wounded and unconscious for a long time, the original owner used this time to hide Huo Lingzhi's sword.

Later, the original owner was short of money, so he secretly sold the sword. After getting the money, he often ate and drank Huo Lingzhi in front of Huo Lingzhi. Later, Huo Lingzhi's cronies came to him because he accidentally saw the sword, bought the sword, and came to find Huo Ling's property and return it to the original owner.

At that time, it also described Huo Lingzhi's incomparable hatred for the original owner because the sword was sold, and the original text also mentioned his pain that his sword was strayed out and defiled by others.

Thinking about it, Huo Lingzhi is also a sentimental person who can name Ma as his own son.

Thinking of this, he couldn't hold back a sigh. He remembered that the original owner seemed to have sold this sword for a hundred taels of silver. This sword seemed to be made of good materials. It cut iron like mud, and it was worth ten thousand taels of gold.Two, the original owner actually sold it for one hundred taels.

In Huo Lingzhi's mind, the original owner secretly sold his sword for a hundred taels, just like a child who has been well-educated for more than 20 years, was once abducted by human traffickers and sold to the mountains for a few hundred yuan.

Huo Lingzhi saw Luo Zining leaning over to look at his sword just now and didn't say anything, and even stepped aside to let him look more carefully, but after a while he heard Luo Zining sigh.

He thought that Luo Zining was kind-hearted, so he asked him, "Do you think it's too cruel for me to kill so many people?"

"No, no, they are all bad guys. You killed them well. If you don't kill them, they should kill me. I just think their blood stained your sword." Luo Zining said.

"In the past, this king killed more people on the battlefield. The more you use this sword, the better." Huo Lingzhi looked at his sword with longing eyes, as if he was not listening to him, and his heart and eyes were full of desireTouching the appearance of this sword, he thought that if he taught Luo Zining martial arts, he would not have to worry about Luo Zining's safety.

"Do you want to pick it up and try it?" Huo Lingzhi asked him as he handed the sword in front of him.

"Is it possible?" Luo Zining was very excited. Is this a real sword, or is it a treasure that Huo Lingzhi treats as an eyeball, which he can touch?

"Yes." Huo Lingzhi handed it to him again.

Luo Zining asked him to wait a moment, he went to wash his hands first, and after wiping them clean, he stretched out his hands reverently.

"Is this necessary?" Huo Lingzhi couldn't help chuckling.

"If you treat this sword as your wife, then it is my sister-in-law. There must be a sense of ceremony." Luo Zining talked nonsense together.

Huo Lingzhi didn't know what a wife was before, but after listening to Luo Zining, he also understood what a wife meant, "It's the king's wife, what are you?"

Luo Zining: "??? I am, the little wife? Is it the big wife?"

"My king regards this sword as my brother who lived and died with me. You are my only wife." Huo Lingzhi put the sword in his hand.

Luo Zining was about to say something, but his hand sank so suddenly that he almost missed it.

He had seen Huo Lingzhi draw the sword with ease, and he thought the sword was unsinkable, but who knew that it took a lot of effort for him to lift it, as if he was lifting a weight.

Anyway, he is also a person who can carry several boxes of drinks in one go, but he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to hold a sword in both hands.

In a few seconds, he was struggling to breathe, and begged Huo Lingzhi with trembling arms: "No, no, no, I can't hold it anymore."

How did the original owner steal and sell it?The original owner is stronger than him?

Huo Lingzhi held his hand when he was distracted, and helped him share most of the strength, "When Zhao Xiaoyu comes to me to learn martial arts in the future, you will come with me."

"Me, me too?" Although Luo Zining also had a dream of being a hero, his dream of being a hero was about falling off a cliff, accidentally falling into a secret cave, and happened to meet a peerless hero who was about to die.People, the master didn't want no one to inherit his martial arts after death, so he was arrested as an apprentice, and all the internal energy was passed on to him in one go. He didn't want the other party to force him to accept these internal energy.

If he was really asked to practice by himself, he would not be able to endure that kind of hardship. He was afraid just to see the group of children being watched by Huo Lingzhi, so how could he practice by himself.

Moreover, he has to manage a lot of things under his command, such as the factory, planting vegetables, repairing the palace, managing the emotional and safety issues of the workers, getting good welfare benefits, and getting some entertainment items.

Only when the city's happiness index increases can it attract people from outside to work.

Now the fastest way to increase the population is to attract people from other cities. After coming here to work, they find that the benefits here are good, and they live happily, so they will move their household registration. Are you afraid that the city will not prosper?

Things were pressing on him one by one, he was already exhausted, and if he went to practice martial arts, he was afraid that he would die suddenly.

"Husband, please forgive me. I'm not a material for martial arts." Luo Zining begged for mercy, "Furthermore, your husband is very skilled in martial arts and can protect me. Do you still need me to practice martial arts?"

Huo Lingzhi listened to his soft voice acting like a baby, his bones were brittle, not to mention that Luo Zining just said that he didn't want to practice martial arts, even if Luo Zining told him something else, he reckoned he would agree.

Luo Zining was still looking at him pitifully, Huo Lingzhi couldn't control his hands, and rubbed his head, "Forget it, if you don't like learning, don't learn."

"It's not that I don't like to learn. I love learning. Who doesn't want to be a martial arts hero, or else." Luo Zining blinked at him with a mischievous look, "You putPass on some of your inner strength to me?"

Huo Lingzhi didn't practice martial arts like those in martial arts novels, so he couldn't pass on his inner strength, "What idle books do you usually read?"

Luo Zining saw him look at him, how did someone like you who loves to read idle books get into the first prize? If this had been said in the past, Huo Lingzhi would not have cared about his feelings. He had never learned what to say in his life.Consider other people's feelings before speaking.

But now, every time he speaks, he has to think about whether Luo Zining will cry in anger, whether Luo Zining will ignore him in anger, or whether he will turn his back to him when he sleeps at night..

These are also secondary, the most important thing is that he really doesn't want to make Luo Zining feel uncomfortable.

However, Luo Zining still let Luo Zining see the expression written on his face. Luo Zining raised his head, pretending to be very proud and talking nonsense in a serious manner. Anyway, Huo Lingzhi had never taken the imperial examination, norReading those sage books, how can you know whether what he made up is true or not: "If you are really the number one scholar, anyone can pass the exam? Those who study hard and have no talent may not be able to pass the exam. Talented people like meYes, reading casual books every day, you can still pass the exam, the important thing is understanding."

"Since your understanding is so high, when I read those sage books, I always encountered some truths that I couldn't understand. I wonder if you can help me answer them?" Huo Lingzhi asked him a few times, and asked him how to answer them..

Luo Zining felt like he was listening to the scriptures. Although he was a serious college graduate, he returned all his knowledge to the teacher after the college entrance examination.

He thought that if he traveled through time in high school, he might be able to answer Huo Lingzhi's question. After all, high school was the time when he had the most knowledge in his life.It’s been a while since I’ve been in the supermarket. If you ask him about the content of that novel, he can tell you in a daze.It is estimated that the knowledge is not as good as that of elementary school students.

Huo Lingzhi's question directly stumped him. He murmured in his heart for a long time, and finally shook his head and pretended to cry, "If you doubt me, you doubt me. There is no need to use this kind of excuse to test me."

As he spoke, he stood up, stood in front of the window, and saw outside the window that it was raining at some point, and it was the first spring rain this year.

He looked up at the spring rain outside, brewed his emotions, and began to read his greasy literature, "On a rainy night, the cold iron is just like the heart that can never be warmed by the prince. I know that the prince doesn't like me.But I didn't expect that after such a long time, we don't even have a little trust between husband and wife, if every word I say, the prince has to pick out some mistakes, how will we get along in our lives in the future?"

Huo Lingzhi: "??? What are you talking about?" Isn't this an academic discussion?Why have you turned to the question of whether you like it or not?And what were those greasy and hypocritical sentences just now?Is this a sentence that you, a number one scholar, can say?

When Huo Lingzhi was petrified on the spot, Luo Zining had already pulled out an oiled paper umbrella and opened it to go out.

"Where are you going?" Huo Lingzhi's first reaction was that he wanted to run away from home, and he wanted to stop him.

"I'm going to talk to the craftsmen, someone will come to get the still in two days, let them prepare it." Luo Zining said and looked slightly sideways at Huo Lingzhi, "The prince probably doesn't want to talk to me now, right?I'll find an excuse to go out and let the prince be clean."

"???" Huo Lingzhi was stunned, when did he not want to talk to him?He didn't think he was clean either, he was obviously fine just now, discussing martial arts, swords, and literature, why did he suddenly make Luo Zining angry?

When he lost his mind, Luo Zining had already gone out, and the door was closed for him, but Luo Zining still trotted away, as if he couldn't wait to escape from him.

Huo Lingzhi even began to reflect on himself, whether the tone of the sentence just now was bad, or the voice was too loud. His princess is sensitive and fragile, and cannot withstand any fright. Not only can some words not be said, even ifThinking about it in my heart, it is absolutely impossible.

...

Luo Zining went to the old craftsman's side. He had just finished eating and was still not asleep. Recently, he raised the wages of the old craftsman's family. From the previous two taels of silver to the old craftsman's five taels,His sons and nephews are all two taels of silver each.

After all, their workload has increased. They have to make distillers, and they will make so many as soon as they do it. In the future, they will do other things. People in the city will become rich in the future, and he has to use high wages to retain skilled personnel to work for him.

When he went, the family was drinking tea together, and when they heard Luo Zining knock on the door, they welcomed Luo Zining in with great enthusiasm.

Although they lived in the palace, Luo Zining assigned them a yard, which was separated from the place where the servants and princes and concubines live. They usually go out when they want to go out, and no one stops them. They are freeVery, at first Luo Zining said to take care of their meals, but later he felt uncomfortable and wanted to cook at home, so he built a stove in the yard, and he could go out through the back door every day, buy vegetables and come back to cook, which was very helpful.A sense of belonging like home.

Luo Zining was seated warmly by them, and the old craftsman poured hot tea for him. He also knew what the princess was doing this time, and told him that the machines were ready, and the princess said she wanted more than a dozen sets of machines.He has done a lot, and has made more than 30 sets of machines.

Their family is very grateful to Luo Zining. Not only do they have money, but they are not afraid of being bullied by Lin Heihu. However, they are quite afraid of the prince.The radish is still brittle, and it will break with a click.

Moreover, the news that Huo Lingzhi killed several servants was widely circulated in the city today, not to mention them, ordinary people's knees would weaken when Huo Lingzhi's name was mentioned.

After these two incidents, they also saw clearly that if they were loyal to Huo Lingzhi and Luo Zining, they would have countless good days. If they dared to be unfaithful, they would move their heads like today's evil servants.

Luo Zining chatted with their family for a while, Luo Zining's rumors were exactly the opposite of Huo Lingzhi's, everyone said that Huo Lingzhi was the deadly Hades, Luo Zining was the kind-hearted Bodhisattva, the old craftsman and the othersThe family is also relaxed when chatting with Luo Zining.

As he talked, the old craftsman talked about his daughter: "The little girl is already past the age of marriage. If it weren't for the chaos in this city, she should have married two years ago."

When Luo Zining heard this, he immediately thought of Chen Er. Chen Er had shown that he liked the daughter of the old craftsman's family very much.

And he had seen the old craftsman's daughter before, she looked really fresh and pretty, if she was looking for her husband's family, she would definitely be able to pick the best one.

He wanted to test out what the other party was looking for first. If he wanted to be high-ranking, then Chen Er really had no chance.

He asked the old craftsman: "Do you want me to match you? Whose boy do you like?"

The old craftsman and his sons were a little shy, "I didn't see the specifics either. It's not that I heard that you opened a brick factory, Princess, and I want you to choose a reliable one for our daughter in the brick factory. Your great kindness."Great virtue, we will never forget it."

When Luo Zining heard that they were looking for a brick factory, Chen Er still had a chance. Luo Zining asked them: "I have someone to choose, and that is Chen Er, the director of the brick factory. What do you think?"

When they heard Chen Er's name, their faces were not very good. After all, Chen Er was a slave who sold himself. Their daughter married a slave, so she became a slave too, and the child she gave birth to was also a slave. That girl was ruined..

They were in a dilemma, but they didn't dare to speak out directly to refute Wang Hao's face, so they could only keep their heads down and remained silent, thinking of finding some reason to refuse.

If you can't refuse, then the sky is really falling.

But the old craftsman thought about it again, and thought about it. If the palace hadn't taken them in before, then his daughter would have been snatched away by Lin Heihu and ruined.many.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Luo Zining say: "I promised him before that if he can run this brick factory well, I will free him from slavery and give him a dowry to marry a wife.You agree with Chen Er, I can find a yard for them to live in the mansion. Anyway, the most important thing in this mansion is a house. When your daughter gets married, she will be close to you. She can go home every day if she wants.You can feel at ease under the nose, and if Chen Er dares to treat her badly, I will be the first to punish her."

The old craftsman's family was dumbfounded, they were dumbfounded by happiness, and there is such a good thing?There are many courtyards in this mansion. The last prince who lived here had many beautiful wives and concubines, as well as sons and daughters, so there are many courtyards, and each courtyard is quite large. The furniture and furnishings inside are good, except for heating.No, the rest are much better than the yards of ordinary people's homes outside.

The yard that Luo Zining promised them was the kind of yard the master lived in, not a small yard for servants.

The most important thing is that they are close. They can see their daughters when they miss them. Most people marry their daughters. It is better to meet each other during Chinese New Year, and worse, they may never see each other again for the rest of their lives. The princess said that she can see her every day.Meet, this is the most attractive place.

"Your opinions are important, but the most important thing is whether your daughter agrees or not. If she disagrees, I still have a few candidates. The brick factory recently appraised a group of outstanding employees, and all of them were allocated houses.The house is definitely not as good as the house in the palace, but those people have good character." Luo Zining was afraid that the daughter of the old craftsman would not want to marry Chen Er, and Luo Zining would blame himself for the unsatisfactory life in the future.

The old craftsman said excitedly: "It's up to her whether she agrees or not. Marriage is originally the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. If I agree, she agrees too."

"It's better to ask." Luo Zining knows that the old craftsman loves his daughter, but at the same time he also has the thoughts of a feudal patriarch. He is here to choose a son-in-law. He thinks that a son-in-law who has passed the test can give his daughter happiness, whether she likes it or not.It doesn't matter if you like it.

Today they sat drinking tea together, and the old craftsman's wife and daughter were not there. They heard Luo Zining's words and said that the family would discuss it later, and they would also ask their daughter's opinion, and then give Luo Zining an answer.

After Luo Zining came out from them, he went to Chen Bo's house. Chen Er had already returned and was chatting with Chen Dazuo, and Chen Bo was also there.

Luo Zining explained the matter to the family of three, "If their family agrees, you can choose a good day to get married."

Chen Er was dumbfounded when he heard this. He was sitting on the bed, but he fell off the bed and rolled over.

This startled Luo Zining, and Uncle Chen even kicked Chen Er, "Alright, don't act like a fool."

"I'm really a fool now, and I'm happy to be a fool." Chen Er was very excited, even though Luo Zining had told him that he would be freed from slavery if he did a good job in the brick factory, and would help himHe went to ask for marriage, but only after he actually went to the brick factory did he realize that the brick factory was so difficult to take care of, and there were a lot of small troubles in the middle. He thought that his performance was not good, and Luo Zining no longer planned to release him from slavery.Didn't expect such a good thing to happen?

He hugged Luo Zining's thigh excitedly and cried, even Chen Bo on the side wiped his tears with his sleeve. He had been targeting the princess before, and he always made small reports. He didn't expect the princess to treat his son like this.There is no place for this old face.

Luo Zining told him to get up quickly, "Don't cry, pick a yard to go tomorrow, pick a good one, except me and the prince's main house don't move, you can choose anywhere you want."

He said and looked at Chen Da again, "You should also behave well, and I will also release you from slavery in the future, and let you marry a wife and have children. You have followed the prince from the very beginning, and I will definitely not lose you in the future."

Chen Da thought he had nothing to do with himself, he was happy for his younger brother, and this good thing happened to him, he was also stupid, but his stupidity was different from Chen Er hugging his legs and crying bitterly, he just stood there blanklyHe even forgot his last name.

Chen Bo slapped Chen Da on the back, "Hurry up and thank you."

Only then did Chen Da quickly kneel down and thank En, "I don't need such a pretty one, just find me an honest one."

Chen Er also bumped him with his arm, "Brother, do you think that the person I picked is irresponsible?"

"I didn't mean that." Da Chen quickly waved his hand."I really don't mean that. I just feel stupid. If my brother can find a fairy-like wife, I will definitely not be worthy of a fairy. Just find an honest person like me."

Uncle Chen couldn't help laughing, crying while laughing.

Luo Zining asked Uncle Chen: "Do you want a wife? I'll choose one for you too."

When Uncle Chen heard this, he was terrified, "I don't want it. This old slave is already at this age. If he can see his sons get married, he will be satisfied with all his children and grandchildren."

After a few people chatted and laughed for a while, Luo Zining remembered something and said to Chen Er: "The winery is about to be completed. After the completion, more than 200 people will be transferred to repair the palace, and some people will be left to build the twenty-one houses.After the house is built, a worker’s dormitory will be built, and those who have no housing and no place to live will live in the dormitory first, and the dormitory will have some Datong shops, and each room can accommodate seven or eight people.”

"Let's make the dormitory bigger." Chen Eryi stopped crying when he mentioned the work, and immediately became serious, "A few days ago, a group of people came to ask if they were still recruiting workers. They all came from other places.If there is no place to live, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep people.”

"Yes, you can tell them that if you move your household registration and have worked here for three years, you will be eligible for housing allocation, but when you can allocate this house, you have to wait until when it will be built." LuoZining wants to attract migrants, not only to attract workers, but also to let the workers take over the entire family.

Chen Er frowned when he heard this: "Are these outsiders also allocated rooms?"

"How much money can we make to build a house? Now we have enough land, some money, and what we lack is people. Not only will we distribute houses to them, but if they have a sister or sister, they will be arranged to work in the cafeteria, and work in other places is also fine.If they marry the workers in the factory, they will be given subsidy money when they get married, and they can share the house in advance, and they will also be rewarded with money after giving birth." Luo Zining now has 30,000 taels in his hand, which means that the winery has not started productionUnder the premise of wine, if the wine is produced and sold to all parts of the country, it will earn millions of taels a year. Although it has to be shared with Boss Cheng, the tax still has to go to him, and he is ready to invest all the money.Engage in urban construction.

The last time Luo Zining heard a lot of bachelors in the factory complain about not having a wife, he thought about it and said, "Especially if you give birth to a girl, if you give extra subsidies, it's fine for a boy. If there is no subsidy, they would prefer to have a boy."

Chen Er was stunned when he heard this, "I've heard of land distribution for boys born in the village before, but girls have never heard of subsidy money."

Uncle Chen also said at the side: "Generally people think that male dolls are treasures, and girls are money-losing goods. How do you give more money to these subsidized girls? Boys grow up to be laborers, and girls don't.There is a way to go to the brick factory to move bricks."

Chen Boxin said, what is the princess doing?

"It's common knowledge that a child is born from a woman's womb," Luo Zining said.

Chen Er: "...Princess, do you think I look like a fool? Can I not know this?"

"Do you see any women in our city? I heard that many girls marry out when they reach their age. If you don't provide real subsidies, who will stay? I also heard that many people gave birth to girls and killed them because they thought they were losing money., gave money, and gave money every year until they reached adulthood, and their family has to let people survive because of money, right?" Luo Zining said that his head hurts when he talked about this worry, "In such a big city, there are only 10,000 yuan.People, it would be nice to have five hundred women of the right age. In order to increase the population, I am worried about losing my hair every day. I wish I could go to the Empress Nuwa and beg her to give me some people. I wish I could burn incense and worship Buddha every day.Move God, let the men in our city have children, let these men have the strength to have more children."

Uncle Chen also understood that Wang Hao's idea sounded quite right, "The former emperor seems to have done similar things, but he didn't pay subsidies based on who gave birth to a child, but lowered the marriage age.If you don’t get married, you will be fined, or arrested and sentenced. I heard that the population has increased a lot.”

"What happened later? Does this law still exist?" Luo Zining couldn't help asking.

Uncle Chen twitched his lips: "That was the law of the previous dynasty. As for the emperor who made this request, well... he has become the emperor of the previous dynasty. Ever since Tai/Zu overthrew that dynasty, he has rewritten the law."

Luo Zining didn't know much about the history of this world, so he didn't ask any more questions. He told Chen Er, "Just pass on what I said first. As for whether it is feasible, you have to experiment to find out. If it fails, you can improve it."If you don’t do it, who knows how to do it is right.”

Luo Zining left Uncle Chen's room after speaking. When he went out, he saw a little maid. For some reason, he felt that the little maid looked at him strangely, and there seemed to be a little pity in her eyes.

Uncle Chen's room was not soundproof, and when they talked, some words came out more or less, and this little maid heard them.

She heard the princess begging God every day to allow men to have children. Does the princess want to have children?The princess prays to God and worships Buddha every day to give birth to a fat boy for the prince?The princess is so pitiful.

The author has something to say:

Luo Zining: "I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
