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

The desires of the people are often endless. It’s not that the people are so bad, but that there are those who take advantage of loopholes among them.

Zhao Sheng couldn't let it develop. He had good intentions, but this would allow some people to take advantage of it, even members of the Zhao family.

This was a real disaster for the truly poor people. They had no choice but to rush to the town to exchange any supplies that could be exchanged for money, even if it meant working overnight, so that they wouldn't go bad.

Some people would use salt to pickle food. Zhao Sheng had a method to detect whether the food was pickled with poisonous salt, and once discovered, he would send it to the government.

At first, some people didn't believe it. But when they soaked the food in a solution, the liquid gradually changed color, and they found that the salt contained poison.

Although the government did not understand the reason behind this, they punished the sellers by giving them the food to eat, which frightened them so much that they begged for mercy and eventually confessed that they had made the food with poisonous salt.

In fact, what Zhao Sheng used was a liquid obtained by reacting aniline and sulfur. This liquid will react with toxic nitrates, and the main manifestation is that the color becomes darker and yellower.

With the corresponding detection methods, no one dares to use poisonous salt to make food such as dried nymphs. After all, this is a military supply product, and once discovered, it will be regarded as treason.

The current personnel structure of Shigang Village is complex, most of them are from other families, and it is difficult to unite people's hearts. Even if those people speak well, they will betray when disaster strikes.

Very few people can stay.

Therefore, Zhao Sheng from the oil press wanted to move out, and he also wanted to take Zhao Zhen with him. Luancheng was currently under construction, and there were many people with the surname Zhao here, so it was also a Feng Shui treasure land.

In the vast Central Plains, the seven most famous places are Longxi, Zhaojun, Qinghe, Boling, Fanyang, Xingyang and Taiyuan.

Among them, Zhaojun, Qinghe and Fanyang are basically in one place. Although Boling is a bit far away, it is only a few hundred miles away from Zhao County. Together with Taiyuan, these five blessed places were the best places at the time.

Zhaojun is today's Zhao County. It is hard to imagine that the most powerful surname in Zhaojun is not Zhao, but Li. The Li family of Zhaojun is one of the five surnames and seven families.

The prince of Dingzhou County is a member of the Li family of Zhao County, which is one of the reasons why Zhao Sheng wants to move his property away.

With the protection of the Zhao and Li families, the industrial development there was prevented from being plundered.

Shigang Village took advantage of the reconstruction of Luancheng to speed up the production of bricks for the city.

On the other hand, Princess Li Shuya also bought bluestone from the public to use as bricks and stones for the city walls.

Last year, merchants in Zhao County boasted that they could build the city to be as solid as a rock. However, just after the winter, cracks appeared in many places, and the city was so serious that it seemed like it was about to collapse.

Although the construction of Luancheng was contracted to Zhao Sheng this time, she was still worried.

"Zhao Hu, this time you must mix the white lime according to the ratio I gave you. Don't be lazy. Also, I've told you what the stones we classified are used for. Don't make any mistakes."

During this period, Zhao Sheng planned Luancheng. He wanted to carry out construction based on the actual conditions, especially the water sources. He must include these places in the city.

Luancheng is not far from Dingzhou County, especially the villagers of Nanzhao Village, who had heard from their clansmen that the person responsible for building the city was a fellow clan member of the Zhao family.

When Zhao Sheng arrived, the village chief of Nanzhao Village led all the men with the surname Zhao in the village to stop Zhao Sheng's carriage and insisted on inviting Zhao Sheng to the village for a ride.

Zhao Long only brought ten people with him as guards, and he was still a little nervous. Although the princess had also arranged guards here, the handover had not yet taken place, and he didn't know where they were.

The village chief of Nanzhao Village is named Zhao Xinnan. He is about fifty years old, but looks like he is seventy years old. He walks with a cane.

"This is my son Zhao Yongsheng. He used to serve in the army and was once a scout team leader." When he introduced his son, an expression of indescribable pride appeared on his face.

Zhao Long looked up at Zhao Yongsheng and found that his eyes were motionless, but his mind seemed to be in control of everything around him, and he was so calm that it was a little scary.

This person is probably not just a scout, he is most likely someone's secret guard.

Zhao Long was secretly complaining in his heart. He really didn't dare to take the person in front of him lightly. Although they were all members of the Zhao family in the same family tree, they were several generations apart after all, and they had no contact with each other. No one could guarantee who was loyal to whom.

His loyalty to Zhao Sheng was due, firstly, to his father's order, and secondly, to the fact that after Zhao Sheng came, he brought wealth to their village, or more precisely, to his Zhao family.

Therefore, Zhao Sheng’s safety is the safety of their Shigang Village.

The group walked to the ancestral hall in the village, burned incense and prayed, and then went to the village chief's house to sit down.

Nanzhao Village is close to Dingzhou County, and the soil here is much better than that of Shigang Village. The yield per acre is almost twice that of Shigang Village.

Zhao Xinnan's home is also made of bluestone bricks and tiles. The living room in the middle of the courtyard is 200 square meters, which is enough for regular gatherings.

After the servants served tea and left, Zhao Xinnan slowly spoke, "Years ago, the clan gathered in Zhaojiazhuang. That's where our Zhao family originated, and the ancestral hall is there. Although the clan members have suffered a little, we still take care of them every year."

After hearing what the village chief said, Zhao Sheng understood what he meant. He simply wanted to express that he and Zhaojiazhuang were of the same origin. This time, Zhao Sheng was rebuilding Luancheng, and he hoped that Zhao Sheng could take care of it.

"I understand what the village chief means, but I have my own plans. I'll ask the elders of the tribe to review them when the time comes. Some things can't be covered in detail, but I hope we can prioritize the overall situation."

Zhao Sheng would not show leniency just because everyone had the surname Zhao. The construction of Luancheng was not only for production, but also for future preparations for war and famine, so he wanted to make sure that nothing could go wrong.

Zhao Xinnan didn't understand what Zhao Sheng meant, but she also heard that they would be considered for participation in the review of drawings in the future, so she suppressed what she wanted to say for the time being.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Sheng continued.

"The construction of Luancheng will be divided into several parts. The first is the administrative center, which is where the city lord and officials work. The second is the economic production center. The third is the trade development center.

The fourth is the entertainment center developed around trade, and the last is the commercial and residential area."

As Zhao Sheng spoke, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. This was the prelude to leaving the Great Zhou, but Zhao Xinnan didn't pick up the cup. He still had many questions to ask.

Seeing that Zhao Xinnan didn't continue talking, Zhao Sheng stood up and said goodbye.

Just as he was about to walk out of the gate, he glanced at Zhao Yongsheng again and turned back to ask, "How many sons does the village chief have?"

When asked this question suddenly, Zhao Xinnan replied abruptly: "There are three sons in the family, and this one is the eldest!"

Zhao Sheng smiled and said, "He has a good character and is a good candidate to be a general."

After saying that, he took Zhao Long out of the village chief's house, leaving everyone with a puzzled look on their faces, not knowing what his last words meant.

Zhao Sheng and others came to the location of the Dingzhou County guards. This was the location they had chosen as the administrative center, and everything would start from here.

Luancheng is a plain, and there are not many acres of farmland around it at that time. It is not difficult to build an administrative center of 50 acres. As for how to build it, this is what Zhao Sheng needs to consider.
