Seeing that Zhang Fu had misunderstood, Liu An didn't explain, but just responded: "No problem, just 15 yuan per person per day, so that we can have enough food. By the way, Master Zhang has both ceramic bricks and tiles here?"

When Liu An ordered ceramic tiles yesterday, he forgot that tiles were needed to build a house. Just now when Zhang Fu mentioned bricklayers, Liu An remembered that he also needed to buy tiles.

"It's natural."

"How much does it cost?"

"If the husband wants it, I can sell it to him at the price of ceramic bricks."

"In this case, Master Zhang calculated how much the 17 craftsmen paid for 10 days. I will pay for 10 days' wages first, and then every 10 days until the completion. Also, I want another 10,000 ceramic bricks and tiles.

I will transport it away later along with the ceramic bricks and wooden boxes ordered yesterday."

"Liu Langjun is so cheerful! It's very agreeable! I'll go find more people to load the car first, and send them all to Liu Langjun together! Langjun will wait for a while, and it won't be too late to give money after so-and-so comes back!"

"

"Wait!" Liu An stopped Zhang Fuda who was about to leave: "In that case, I will buy some other things first and come back here in two quarters of an hour, okay?"

"That's fine!"

Zhang Fu agreed, and the two said goodbye.

After Liu An left the carpenter's shop, he calculated in his mind how much he needed to buy, and rented twelve carriages at 30 yuan per hour per carriage.

Because he might have to wait for Zhang Fu later, Liu An rented it for two hours this time, spending a total of 720 yuan.

After that, Liu An took the carriage to buy 300 pairs of straw sandals. The market price was 10 yuan per pair. Liu An bought 300 pairs at once, and the shopkeeper gave him a discount of 50 yuan, so a total of 2950 yuan was spent.

Liu An asked the groom to put all the shoes on the carriage, and then went to the blacksmith shop to pick up the 20 iron basins he ordered yesterday. He also bought an axe, a hoe, and a kitchen knife for 20 each, for a total of 2100 money.

When the iron basin was ordered yesterday, full payment had already been made.

Asking the groom to help load everything into the carriage, Liu An went to buy 150 pairs of bowls and chopsticks and 100 sets of old bedding, which were loaded on six empty carriages.

15 of them were bought at the store yesterday at the original price. These are the last 15 sets of old beddings left in that store.

Liu An went to many stores to buy the other 85 sets. The prices varied, but they were all more expensive than the 200 sets from the original store.

For bowls, chopsticks and bedding, Liu An spent a total of 21,815 yuan.

Finally, Liu An went to the grain store and purchased 50 shi of rice at a time, totaling 11,500 yuan, divided into five carts. Liu An also asked the coachman to help him load the carriage.

After buying these things, Liu An still had 6 pieces of gold cakes left on him, as well as some silver and copper coins.

Because I wasted some time buying bedding, more than half an hour had passed since Liu An came out of the carpenter's shop.

It took more than twice as long as the promised two-quarters of an hour.

Liu An did not dare to delay and quickly drove the ox cart to the carpenter's shop.

Coincidentally, Zhang Fu had just arrived.

Some of the carriages from the carpenter's shop were just sent out yesterday to transport goods. Since they have returned, Liu An has bought a lot of things. Now that the carriages in the carpenter's shop are not enough, Zhang Fu rented some carriages temporarily and bought all the things Liu An wanted.

Install everything.

When Liu An came to the yard behind the carpenter's shop, Zhang Fu was measuring the dimensions of a huge piece of wood.

When people nearby saw Liu An reminding Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu put down his tools and faced Liu An.

After getting closer, Liu An bowed and apologized, "Master Zhang, I've been waiting for a long time and it took me some time to buy things. I'm really sorry!"

"No problem, I just arrived." Zhang Fu waved his hand and didn't care.

Although Liu An felt that Zhang Fu was comforting him, he did not dwell on it. Under Zhang Fu's leadership, he went to the backyard door to inspect the goods.

At the entrance of the backyard, Liu An saw more than 20 large carriages parked here.

What Liu An calls a large carriage is a carriage pulled by two horses, and its body is much larger than the carriage Liu An rented.

Generally, when transporting heavier goods, if one horse cannot pull it, more horses will be equipped.

Zhang Fu showed Liu An and introduced: "Each carriage contains one thousand ceramic bricks or tiles, a total of 20 carriages, and 300 wooden boxes are divided into six carriages."

Liu An picked up a pottery brick and found that the pottery brick was much lighter than the red bricks of later generations. No wonder a car could hold 1,000.

After that, Liu An looked at the tiles and the wooden box. The tiles and the ceramic bricks were about the same weight, and the wooden box was made exactly according to the specifications required by Liu An. Liu An was very satisfied.

After looking at it for a while, Liu An said to Zhang Fu: "No problem, I will give the money to Master Zhang right now."

"Liu Langjun, please come here." Zhang Fu took Liu An to the front hall, took out the cloth with the price he had written on before and said to Liu An: "17 craftsmen's 10 days' wages total 2550 yuan, and the total of 10,000 ceramic bricks and tiles

2,000 yuan, 300 wooden boxes and 3,000 ceramic tiles. I have paid a deposit of 800 yuan, and there is still 1,000 yuan left, totaling 5,500 yuan."

After Liu An listened to Zhang Fu's quotation, he took out one thousand yuan and three silver cakes and handed them to Zhang Fu.

"Master Zhang, please check and accept it."

Zhang Fu took the silver cake, weighed it to make sure it was correct, and then arranged for someone to follow Liu An to transport the goods.

Liu An drove the bullock cart and led the way.

In this way, they took the ox cart at the front and the two craftsmen's carts, a total of 41 carts, and formed a long row, leaving the city with great momentum.

The carriage drove through the streets of the city, attracting many people to watch. When they saw the white-faced gentleman leading the way, they all pointed and commented.

Liu An didn't pay attention to those who were watching the excitement. On the way, he roughly calculated that he should have about 70,000 yuan left.

If all this money was converted into food, it would still be enough to feed the victims for about a month.

Of course, Liu An knew that it was impossible to buy everything as food.

It costs money to live on your own, and you also need to spend money if you encounter other unexpected things.

In addition, Liu An also wants to buy a yard in the city as soon as possible.

With his own yard, Liu An won't have to be outside the city to extract the things in the system.

I don’t live there anyway, it doesn’t need to be a good one, as long as it can provide a secluded place.

It was very difficult for Liu An to collect silk and cloth outside the city today. His physical strength was not good, so he had to cover the cloth and silk as soon as possible, otherwise he would probably be targeted if he was seen.

More than half an hour later, Liu An arrived at the camp for the victims and found that the victims had not eaten yet. Not only did they not eat, but they went to clear the wasteland hungry.

At this time, the victims had already cleared half of the nearly 3 acres of fields. In another hour, these 3 acres of fields would be cleared.

Liu Ming and Liu Bei had already arrived. When they saw Liu An arriving with his motorcade, they hurried over to report the situation to Liu An.

It turned out that in Liu An's absence, the victims refused to touch the rice fields. Even if Liu Bei and Liu Ming tried to help them, they were stopped in the name of protecting their benefactor's property.

The two had no choice but to wait for Liu An to arrive.

During this period, the victims who had nothing to do asked Liu Bei which places were the benefactor's fields, and took the initiative to clean up the abandoned fields.

Liu An was quite helpless about this.

Sure enough, these people were all good people!

Of course, there is a difference between 'used to be a good citizen' and 'used to be a good citizen'.

Although those bandits who have been living in the mountains for many years were once good people, most of them are not as obedient and kind as these good people because they have been infected with banditry.

Liu An quickly called the leaders of the three groups and asked them to arrange for some women, old and young to cook, and all the young and old to come over and unload their things.

At the same time, he told these people to listen to Liu Ming and Liu Bei when he was away.

Then Liu An asked the carpenter to prepare a plan for building a house, and the bricklayer to select a site and dig a well.

The water left over from yesterday is enough to make a meal.

But even so, Liu An still asked a few people to carry an empty water tank to his ox cart, put another bucket on it, and went to replenish the water from a distance.

The well won't be dug for a while, and we still need to replenish the water later. Anyway, the work arrangements are going on now. Liu Bei and Liu Ming are here, and Liu An is fine, so it is better to replenish the water now.

While Liu An was replenishing water, he was also using the water in the water tank. After going back and forth several times, Liu An filled up the water tank completely, and the meal was almost done.
Chapter completed!
