Zhang Xian walked out of the yamen with a depressed breath, and kicked the stone lion with angry eyes at the county yamen, but his toes twitched in pain, Zhang Xian gritted his teeth and said to himself: "Lion, Lao Tzu looks at you as a dead dog, what do you see, even you dare to stare at Lao Tzu as a stone lion, you see that Lao Tzu is easy to bully, right?" ”

The little scholar Zhang Fan has run around well, the recent little scholar Zhang Fan, among the people of the Zhang family, is also the number one person, after all, Zhang Fan is not only following the patriarch Gongzi, the most important thing is that he was given the surname Zhang by the Gongzi, which is considered to be the majority of the Zhang family, and it is no longer a string of money without a name and surname, and he is looked down upon everywhere he goes. Zhang Fan kept in mind the words of the son, and he had to understand the Entu report, and he was more dedicated to serving the son.

"Childe, the matter is done, is this dog official embarrassed Childe?"

Zhang Xian was thinking in his heart, how to solve the problem of insufficient trucks and horses to transport grain and grass, and when he saw the little scholar Zhang Fan running over to ask, he didn't have the heart to answer, and continued to lower his head and think, is there any way to solve this problem in this future life? There are only three ways to solve the problem of insufficient carriages and horses: one is to increase the number of carriages and horses, but in the current situation, increasing the number of carriages and horses is simply an impossible task; One is to increase the load of the carriage and horse, but this ancient carriage and horse, the use of wood and iron, in order to make a larger load of the carriage and horse, it is necessary to completely improve the carriage and horse, this time and a half will be more impossible; The last one is to reduce the volume of grain and grass, and the reduced volume of grain and grass will be simply shipped, but how to reduce the volume of grain and grass, Zhang Xian will have no idea for a while.

The little scholar saw that the boy was thinking about things, and it was obvious that this dog official must have caused a problem for the son, and Zhang Fan didn't dare to disturb the son thinking about things anymore, so he walked behind the son in an orderly manner.

At the end of the summer, the city of Yangzhou was also affected by the haze of the Tatar Koubian, and since the order of the imperial court to requisition grain and grass was issued to various places, the officials and the people basically began to deal with the emperor's errands. Yangzhou City suddenly became a lot deserted, however, the teahouse restaurant that should have been open as usual to welcome guests, the time was at noon, the restaurant wafted out of a burst of fragrance, Zhang Xian saw the little scholar Zhang Fan every time he passed a restaurant couldn't help swallowing saliva, a greedy face, it seems that the little scholar sang the empty city plan in his belly, and he crossed over, and he had not eaten the ancient restaurant food, so he simply went in to eat.

Zhang Xian patted Zhang Fan's head and said, "Look at your kid's gluttony, if you're hungry, then go in and eat before leaving." ”

When the little scholar Zhang Fan heard this, he immediately opened his eyebrows and laughed and said, "Hey, hey, okay, I'll follow Gongzi to the restaurant today!" ”

"Childe, please!" The shopkeeper nodded and beckoned the master and servant to get up, Zhang Xian asked for a pot of wine, two catties of sauce beef, a steamed sea bass, two small stir-fries, when Zhang Xian looked at the wine and food served by Xiao Er, to be honest, the amount of wine and meat in this ancient period is quite sufficient, but when it comes to the color and fragrance, it obviously doesn't feel very good, and the gap between it and later generations is still very large, and the taste is mainly light, the wine is rice wine, it tastes sweet but sweet, but it is not as strong as the distilled liquor of later generations, no wonder Wu Song beats the tiger and dares to drink eighteen bowls! If it is replaced by the second pot head of the later generations, the eight bowls will have to overturn Wu Song.

However, the little scholar Zhang Fan was standing next to Zhang Xian, looking at the wine and food, his eyes were about to fall out, but he didn't dare to sit down, Zhang Xian said angrily:

"Aren't you hungry, boy? Why don't you hurry up and sit down and eat and go home, do you want to watch Ben Gongzi eat? ”

"Alas, thank you, Childe, thank you, that villain is welcome!" The little scholar Zhang Fan sat down, picked up the rice bowl, and ate it with relish, this is not a delicacy that can be eaten at any time, but looking at Zhang Xian Gongzi didn't move the chopsticks at all, Zhang Fan said while eating: "I said Gongzi, eat it while it's hot, it's so delicious, it's a pity not to eat, even if you can't finish eating, even if you pack it and take it home, it will change its taste!" ”

Zhang Xian smiled, this ancient man also packed for dinner? Interesting! He asked:

"I can't remember the things in the past, you and my son used to study outside, did you often go to the restaurant? Can't finish eating and take it all home? You say that the things you can't eat will change the taste, but if you encounter a long way away from home, won't all the things you bring with you taste bad? ”

The little scholar Zhang Fan blurted out while chewing on the food:

"Hey, to be honest, Childe used to be silent, but he was not as good to the villain as he is now, and Childe is now closer to the villain than his relatives! In the past, the villain had to wait for the son to finish eating before he could eat indiscriminately, but the subordinates of every family are this rule, and the villain does not dare to eat at the same table with the son like now! To say that in the past, the villain and the son were studying abroad, the mountains were high and the road was far away, and they could only bring dry food to deal with it, even if they had money, they couldn't meet the store on the road, and the biggest advantage of dry food was that they were put for ten days and a half months, and they were not afraid of bad taste. ”

Zhang Xian nodded and said, "I see! "I still have a person who has crossed over, I didn't expect that the cookies of the future generations will be just put for three or two years without any problem, and I will study the wilderness survival training of the military academy and eat compressed cookies for three or five years!"

Suddenly, Zhang Xian's mind was excited, and he couldn't help but say: "Compress biscuits, compress biscuits, compress biscuits" I drip, isn't the problem of grain and grass easily solved? It's really: there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

The little scholar Zhang Fan saw Zhang Xian suddenly overjoyed and asked, "Childe, what are the compressed biscuits you are talking about?" It makes you so happy! ”

Zhang Xian was so excited that he suddenly had an appetite, picked up chopsticks, and said to the little scholar: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, let's escort the three hundred and fifty chariots and horses with poor grain and grass, my son has found a solution, and he will go home immediately after eating!" Oh, by the way, Zhang Fan, after eating, go and ask the fifth uncle to go to the old mansion quickly, and say that the patriarch has something extremely important to discuss! ”

Zhang Xian returned home, his parents and Nianxin were already waiting for him at the door, especially the old lady, her eyes were red, obviously she had cried, and when she saw Zhang Xian coming back, the old lady asked eagerly: "Xian'er, today's county government, has the dog official ever embarrassed you?" How much forage do you want my son to escort? ”

Zhang Xian was still very moved by his current parents, and he waved at his parents and said: "The child has let his parents worry about it, and the county order wants the child to escort 1,000 stone of grain and 1,400 stone of forage!" ”

When Zhang Xian's father heard this, his face turned pale with anger, and he roared: "This dog official actually asked my son to escort 1,400 stones of forage, which is a gap of 350 cars and horses, isn't this going to force our family to death?" My son wants to have three long and two short, and he will fight with this dog official for his father! ”

Zhang Xian saw that his father was already in a hurry, and his mother was already trembling, so he supported the old lady in his heart, looked at himself with a blank eye, and was already in tears, and immediately said comfortingly:

"Father and mother, don't worry, the child already has a solution, this royal errand can be easily completed, and our family can also add a new way to make money, the second boss can rest assured!"

When the old lady heard Zhang Xian say this, her tears couldn't stop crying directly: "Xian'er, parents are not children, you don't have to appease us, these three hundred and fifty cars and horses are a problem that cannot be solved at all, and my mother knows it very well in my heart, but my son is so sensible now, but he was framed by this dog official, isn't this old man really long-sighted?" ”

Seeing that his parents misunderstood, Zhang Xian thought that he was appeasing them, so he immediately knelt down and said solemnly: "Father and mother, don't be sad, the child has really thought of a solution, and this is also a way to make money, the child has asked the scholar to find the fifth uncle to come to discuss." Fathers and mothers should believe in their children, and children are at least scholars with meritorious reputations, and the way can be thought of, how dare they deceive their parents in such a matter of life and death! ”

"Is there really a way for my son to solve it? Oops, sir, great, Xian'er has a way to solve it! ”

"It's good that it can be solved, Childe can solve this big problem, Childe is really amazing!" Those who were excited were already in tears, and looked at Zhang Xian stupidly.

At this moment, I saw the little scholar Zhang Fan from a distance, and rushed over with the fifth uncle.
