Chapter 494: The Zhang family is here

When the dam was built, the men of Zhoujiazhuang fought hard for nearly a month, and during this time, because the people of Xujiawan came to stop the harassment, the construction of the dam was intermittent. Not only did it take time, but the timber used to build the dam was cut down from the trees in front of and behind each house, and the stone was pulled from distant mountains and ox carts. The dam that cost so much effort from the people of Zhoujiazhuang is really distressing to say that it will be demolished.

At that moment, a middle-aged man came out and said: "Old village chief, this, I'm afraid this is not good!" This dam is more than 700 mouths in my Zhoujiazhuang that lasted for a month, if it is easily destroyed, my Zhoujiazhuang will not be completely wasted this month's hard work? ”

"Yes, old village chief, you can't tear it down!"

The rest of the people from Zhoujiazhuang also chimed in. Of course, these people who echoed were all middle-aged people from Zhoujiazhuang, and as for young people like Zhou Fugui, they were not qualified to speak now. They could only speak if the old man gave them permission to speak.

A trace of regret also flashed in the eyes of the old patriarch of Zhoujiazhuang, and when he was about to say something, Zhang Yunwen said: "Hehe, the old man's words are deeply related to me!" I miss you and the two villages, living next to each other, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, between this neighborhood, there should be good communication for generations, but it is incompatible with water and fire, like a feud, fighting every year, hurting others and hurting themselves. And this year, if your two villages can be repaired again, how can a dam be worth it! ”

As soon as these words came out, the people of the two villages were stunned at the same time, raised their heads and looked at each other.

At this time, Zhang Yunwen continued: "The conflict between your two villages is, in the final analysis, caused by this water conflict. The fertile land occupied by your two villages is one of the largest in the entire Yongning County, and this river is only enough for more people in your village to use at best. The only way to fundamentally ease the hostile relationship between your two villages is to start from this 'water'! The magistrate has ordered Pei County to issue a proclamation ordering the drought-stricken villages in Yongning to dig their own wells for water. One well may not be nothing, but what about ten or a hundred wells? If there are 100 wells in the two villages, they will be able to provide drinking water for people and animals, and irrigate the crops to ensure this year's harvest! ”

As soon as Zhang Yunwen said this, the people of the two villages couldn't help but be in an uproar. Digging 100 wells is not a small project, and if you want to do it, how much manpower and financial resources will be spent! Moreover, this Pei County Order has also drilled wells before, and among the wells that have been drilled, saltwater wells account for a lot, and in some places even dig five or six zhang deep, but no water comes out, so they have to fill in the landfill and find another place.

Seeing everyone's expressions, and then looking at Pei Xianling's appearance, Zhang Yunwen vaguely guessed what everyone was considering. When his face sank, he said unhappily: "If you can spend a month to build a dam, can't you dig a well?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Yunwen's tone was not good, those clan elders hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, my lord, it's not that we don't want to, but this hundred wells are dug, I'm afraid it will take a long time, and I must invite a special feng shui earth qi master to come and check it." So ......"

Before the old man's words fell, Zhang Yunwen said aloud: "Why do you need any feng shui and earth qi masters, come, this official will tell you some tips for digging wells!" The first is the location of the well, which is generally ......"

Zhang Yunwen's voice gradually echoed in the open space, and the precautions were slowly spoken, and everyone was stunned when they heard it, how could this adult even know about these wells.

When Zhang Yunwen finished speaking, he looked at everyone and asked, "Have you ever written it down?" ”

Everyone nodded their heads again and again, indicating that they had taken note of it. Come to think of it, there are so many people here, even if one person remembers a sentence, he will also write down Zhang Yunwen's words.

"Hehe, I've long heard that adults are the best at fighting, but I didn't expect this farming to be so proficient!" Pei Xianling gently slapped Zhang Yunwen's side.

Zhang Yunwen laughed and accepted it indifferently. In later generations, it was common for military camps to be stationed and dig wells on the spot to get water, so they were quite familiar with this set.

Zhang Yunwen has already said this, and even the trick of digging a well has been said, where do these people from Zhoujiazhuang have anything to say, retreat behind the old man, and signal that some of the clan elders in Zhoujiazhuang have the final say.

As a result, the demolition of the dams in Xujiawan and Zhoujiazhuang has become a foregone conclusion.

Refused the invitation of the villagers of Zhoujiazhuang to visit Zhoujiazhuang, Zhang Yunwen and Pei Xianling prepared to return to Yongning County.

When Zhang Yunwen and Pei Xianling walked more than ten steps away, and the soldiers behind them were about to turn over and get on their horses, Xu Xiaoliu and a group of young people from Zhoujiazhuang stopped the last soldier and asked quietly: "This big brother, who is that adult, is it sent from the capital?" ”

The soldier glanced at them and sneered: "Hmph, can you also inquire about these things?" But it doesn't hurt to tell you, he is the current General Zhang of Liao! ”

"Ahh

Although Yongning County is also under the jurisdiction of Dugi Province, compared with other counties in Dugi Province, the scale of this Yongning County can only be regarded as average.

In the hissing of knowledge, Zhang Yunwen, Pei Xianling and others returned to Yongning County.

Zhang Yunwen did not go to the county office, but went to live in the post house temporarily. Closed today, tomorrow there will be a departure to check on other places.

As for Pei County's order, he was also busy digging wells.

Just when Zhang Yunwen was planning tomorrow's itinerary, he only heard Ma Wangshan report: "My lord, a group of people came outside, claiming to be from Zhang's house, visiting adults, I don't know if the adults will see it?" ”

Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but pause with the brush in his hand. Zhang's family? That Zhang Zhaoyang came to Yongning from Luoyang?

In fact, it does. When Zhang Zhaoyang heard that Zhang Yunwen had left Luoyang and went to Yongning, he decided to wait for Zhang Yunwen to come back in Luoyang City. However, after waiting for seven or eight days, Zhang Yunwen still did not return, and Zhang Zhaoyang finally couldn't sit still. If Yiyi Yunwen does not return to Luoyang when he returns from Yongning, but goes to other places to check the drought situation, then he will not wait in vain.

Therefore, Zhang Zhaoyang decided to go to Yongning.

This time, he found Zhang Yunwen.

Anxiously waiting for the reply of the pro-soldier outside the door of the post house, Zhang Zhaoyang felt a sense of grievance in his heart. He is a child of the Zhang family in Qinghe, and now he has to wait for people's replies outside the door. After all, there is a Guogong living in it, although this Guogong is his nephew.

In fact, Zhang Zhaoyang is quite convinced of this Yunwen. This kid relied on his military exploits, step by step, to sit in the position of the prince of the country, and there is no support from the family behind him, which has to be said to be a miracle. You must know that if you are an official in the DPRK and the Central Committee now, if you don't have the support of the family, it is impossible to rise to a high position. If you are a Han clan or an ordinary person, you dare not offend the local family in the local area, and you are also constrained everywhere in the court. And this Zhang Yunwen won the trust of Li Shimin by virtue of his military exploits and dedication, and he was in the position of the prince of the country.

Now that Zhang Yunwen has become a fledgling man, he has established his own family business in Chang'an, and has a close relationship with the Wang family, whether he will return to his family is still a debatable matter, and he Zhang Zhaoyang can't make up his mind, and he will only know after meeting with Zhang Yunwen.

When Zhang Zhaoyang was groaning, Ma Wangshan came to the post house and said to Zhang Zhaoyang respectfully: "Master Zhang, my family is invited!" ”

Zhang Zhaoyang showed a smile and followed Ma Wangshan into the post house.

In the hall of the post house, Zhang Yunwen held a delicate teacup in one hand, absentmindedly watching the turquoise tea leaves rise and fall in the cup. All I could think about was the Zhang family.

When Ma Wangshan's voice came from outside the door: "My lord, Master Zhang is here!" At that time, Zhang Yunwen woke up suddenly, showed a smile, and got up to greet Zhang Zhaoyang's arrival.

Zhang Zhaoyang slowly walked into the post house with a small servant, and looked at Zhang Yunwen in front of him, and couldn't help but be surprised! Today's Zhang Yunwen, except for the two thick mustaches on his lips, still looks no different from a twenty-year-old young man, and the momentum of not being angry makes Zhang Zhaoyang feel a little palpitated. This momentum is even stronger than that of his father.

When Zhang Yunwen saw this Zhang Zhaoyang, he stepped forward with the etiquette of a junior to meet an elder, and then politely invited Zhang Zhaoyang to sit down.

After Zhang Zhaoyang picked up the teacup and drank tea, Zhang Yunwen opened his mouth and asked: "Zhang, uh, Uncle Zhang, I don't know why you came to meet with Zaixia this time?" ”

Zhang Zhaoyang put down the teacup, but said with a smile: "Yunwen is welcome, I am the ninth in the family, and your father is the fifth, you call me the ninth uncle!" As for coming to meet with Yunwen this time, I came to ask Yunwen what you mean, I don't know if Yunwen wants to recognize your ancestors and return to your family, or do you want to stand on your own and develop in Chang'an? ”

Zhang Yunwen was stunned when he heard this question, to be honest, he really didn't think about whether to return to his family. At the beginning, Li Shimin reused him, it was like erecting a model of a poor family, and now he is going around the old man, and he is also a family, although he also worked hard by himself, but he finally has the name of the family. If he returns to the Zhang family, what will Li Shimin think? What do your three wives think? Now, he is not alone, but involves many people, which makes him have to think about it!

At that moment, Zhang Yunwen shirked and said: "Uncle Jiu, this matter is not the next person's business, so I have to think carefully about it!" I also ask Uncle Nine to return to the patriarch, who is now busy with this drought matter, whether to return to his family, or wait until he finishes dealing with political affairs and discusses with everyone before making a decision! ”

Zhang Zhaoyang couldn't hear Zhang Yunwen's words of shirk, and said immediately: "Yes, Yunwen, you are in a high position and have great responsibilities, so you should put state affairs first!" Uncle Nine came like this, but it was abrupt! But Yunwen rest assured, these words just now, Uncle Nine will definitely bring them back to the patriarch! ”

"Thank you Uncle Nine for that!" Zhang Yunwen thanked him.

Now that his intention is clear and he has received a preliminary answer, Zhang Zhaoyang's heart has put down a stone and decided to leave.

After Zhang Yunwen said a few polite words, he sent Zhang Zhaoyang out of the door.

After sending Zhang Zhaoyang away, Zhang Yunwen's face gradually sank. From the years of the Great Cause to the current 20 years of Zhenguan, in the past few decades, the Zhang family has never looked for his father and himself, but now, he is inviting himself to return to his family. Every time he thinks of this, Zhang Yunwen's heart can't help but burst into flames.

At this time, on the willow tree of the post house, he knew it and kept screaming, which made Zhang Yunwen bored.

"Old horse, shoot me down that damn thing!" Zhang Yunwen said angrily.

When Ma Wangshan heard this, he put his hand on his forehead, observed for a moment, decisively took out his bow and arrows, bent his bow and arrows, and shot them at the tree.

Suddenly, the inn fell silent.
