Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

If you want to survive in a certain place and establish your prestige there, the simplest and most direct way is to make everyone feel that you can bring them huge benefits.

Mr. Zhao had just arrived, and if he continued to delay like this, he might not even have a place to stay at night.

He then took out a gold leaf and handed it to Zhao Youfu. "Young masters of the village, from now on, Uncle Fu will be the village chief. What do you think? Tomorrow I will go to the county government office and inform them to replace Zhao Youcai."

He spoke lightly, as if the local county magistrate was less authoritative than he was.

After that, he said, "Find a few people to help me build two houses. I want to live here."

This piece of gold leaf was worth more than 6,000 copper coins, more than enough to build two houses. However, Zhao Sheng did not specify what standard of house he wanted to build. He then disappeared like a cloud, leaving Zhao Youcai's yard in silence.

Although Zhao Youcai was unwilling, the situation was now determined and it would be of no avail even if he was not convinced.

"Brother, who is this kid? Why are you so respectful to him?"

Zhao Youfu glanced at him and said, "You've caused a lot of trouble in Zhaojiazhuang. Do you think no one in the world can deal with you? If you keep up this behavior, sooner or later your head and body will be separated."

When Zhao Youcai heard this, he stiffened his neck and said, "I want to see who dares to touch me!"

This is the birthplace of the State of Zhao, and there are many people with the surname Zhao, which is also the capital of Zhao Youcai's arrogance.

"Don't forget, our emperor's surname is also Zhao..."

Zhao Youfu's words revealed Zhao Sheng's identity in disguise. How could Zhao Youcai not understand?

After hearing what his elder brother said, he understood about 70% of the situation. He suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over him from head to toe, leaving him cold from head to toe.

"Look at your son again. He wishes you were dead right now. Don't you feel like a failure as a human being?"

"This little bastard, I just wanted him to get married, how could he treat me like this?"

"You said you did it for him, but your son doesn't appreciate it. That's because what you did was too dirty and no one liked it. Your son is the same."

Zhao Youcai was stimulated by his elder brother's words, and knowing that Zhao Sheng came from the royal family, he felt even more uneasy.

That afternoon, under the command of Zhao Youfu, the villagers found a secluded and well-located place as the address for Zhao Sheng's new house.

"Uncle Fu, my requirements are not high. I just want to build a few fewer houses, but the yard should be bigger. It should be like the yard of the county government office. It can only be bigger, not smaller."

As soon as Zhao Sheng finished speaking, the villagers burst into laughter. After all, they didn't know who Zhao Sheng was.

However, Zhao Youfu knew it clearly in his heart. He glared at the villagers and shouted, "Don't make a fuss. Just do what the noble man says."

The people fell silent instantly. Zhao Sheng was not one to bully others, so he said to Zhao Youfu:

"Uncle Fu, first arrange for someone to go to the city or nearby to prepare food and drink for the whole village tonight. There must be meat, and each person can eat at least two large pieces."

The villagers hadn't eaten meat for a long time. When they heard that each person could have two pieces of meat today, they immediately became excited.

"Stop arguing. Those who work today will be well fed, and those who watch can also satisfy their cravings."

Zhao Sheng knew the purchasing power of gold leaves. There were not many people in the village, so the money was enough to ensure they had enough food and drink.

At this time, Zhao Sheng was like a generous rich man. In his eyes, these villagers were like a group of hungry children.

He wanted to use his wealth to let them enjoy delicious food and feel his benefits.

……

The next day, the village sent someone to the county government office, who simply reported that a new person had settled in Shigang Village, using Zhao Zhen's original household registration card. Even if they investigated later, it wouldn't cause Zhao any trouble.

Coincidentally, the magistrate of Zhao County was also surnamed Zhao from Yuzhou. When he saw the names of the two generations above Zhao Zhen’s father, he instantly realized that he was his nephew from the same clan.

Shigang Village is particularly lively today, and almost all the villagers have come to build a new house for Zhao Sheng.

According to Zhao Sheng's requirements, the foundation of the new house needed to be dug. Shigang Village itself had a lot of calcium oxide. Some clay was dug and mixed with some air-dried sand and gravel. These materials were used to build walls, which was no less effective than cement in later generations.

Mr. Zhao remembered that a host once boasted about the white lime used by the Japanese during World War II, saying that the walls built with it were strong and durable. Little did he know that this white lime was actually ancient cement.

If you crush snail shells and add glutinous rice paste and some sand, gravel and clay, their strength will be so great that later generations discovered that the city walls built with this method are no less strong than modern cement.

Although the construction of houses was slow according to Zhao Sheng's requirements, the villagers of Shigang Village were happy because they could eat rice every day.

"Mr. Zhao, two officials have arrived from the county government office."

Some people in the village called Zhao Sheng "Young Master" as required. Today, someone from the county government came, and the villagers hurried to report.

Under the big tree, Zhao Zhen was lying on a chair, eating a radish.

The Great Zhou was poor and had no fruit, so Zhao Sheng cut radishes into pieces and pickled them with salt. He would eat some occasionally and it tasted pretty good.

Now that Zhao Zhen is a princess, no one dares to ask her to do any work. Zhao Sheng also wants everyone to mistakenly believe that Zhao Zhen is the most honorable person in this courtyard.

"Someone from the county government? What do they want?"

Zhao Sheng looked at the farmers in the village, and sure enough, there were four people wearing official uniforms not far away.

"The officer didn't say what exactly it was, but from the tone of his voice it sounded like he wanted you to go to the county government office."

Asking someone to go to the county government office for no reason is not a good sign, but not going is also unacceptable.

"Officials, may I know why the county magistrate has summoned us?"

Zhao Sheng walked up to several officials and asked in a low voice.

The county yamen runners knew they were relatives of the county magistrate, so they didn't dare to be rude. They hurried forward and said, "We are following the master's orders to say that you are relatives of the county magistrate."

After hearing this, Zhao Sheng understood a little bit. Perhaps he had met a relative by chance by borrowing Zhao Zhen's identity.

"Officials, please inform me that I am busy here. My sister and I will visit you another day with gifts."

Upon hearing this, the county officials did not want to force it, after all, this was the county magistrate's family matter. Just as they were about to say goodbye, Zhao Sheng unexpectedly stuffed a silver ingot into their hands.

This was a five-liang ingot of silver, which was almost equivalent to more than a month's salary for each of the four officials. After receiving the money, the official bowed to Zhao Sheng and left happily.

"Brother, if you keep spending money like this, it seems like we don't have much money left!"

Zhao Zhen's words brought Zhao Sheng back to his senses. Yes, money is not everything, but without money, nothing can be done. Just like now, he had to consider the financial situation of his family.

He thought carefully about the money he had on him. If he used it sparingly, it should be enough for the two of them to last for five years.

But the key point is that he has been spending money too quickly in recent times.

Fortunately, the walls of the house had already been built. These walls were all made of stones and looked very solid.

Moreover, the courtyard covers an area of ​​at least seven or eight acres, which makes it look very spacious and grand. In addition, there is a river running on one side of the courtyard, and the water is so clear that you can see the bottom, which makes people feel happy.

Zhao Sheng was extremely satisfied with this place, especially when the blue bricks for the house were transported here, he became even more excited.

Next, we will start building the house, which will become the only blue brick and tile house in the entire Shigang Village.
