In fact, Zhang Han and Zhang Xuezeng were in Lingqiu for a period of time a few years ago, and they also increased their respect for this old man, not wanting benefits and returns, but because of the clan love and personal appreciation of Zhang Han, it helped a lot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info When Zhang Han first started, the background of the Zhang family in Puzhou was still very useful, even if he was out of the sect and returned to the sect, and he was not liked by the patriarch of the clan, but there was Zhang Xuezeng, after all, he still asked Zhang Han to borrow a lot of light, and the Lingqiu Zhuzhi County of the year was not a small businessman like Zhang Han who could talk casually.

After the matter was over, Zhang Xuezeng was not greedy for benefits, and went back to Puzhou directly, and later sent two grandsons to help during the development period when Zhang Han needed to use people.

When he was in Lingqiu, Zhang Han had never bowed to Zhang Xuezeng, and now he didn't know why, he thought about it himself, although the execution of Zhang Xuzong should have been explained in the past, but for the old man in front of him, who was of great help to him, of course, he still felt guilty in his heart.

"There is no need to talk about the past." Zhang Xuezeng understood Zhang Han's thoughts, patted his arm, and said: "The bones of the continuation sect were transported back to the hometown, and no one in the clan said anything, after the burial, his heirs returned to the sect, and there is a clan industry, I can rest assured, no matter how the continuation of the sect has blood and bones, and I am not afraid of no food and no books to read, he made such a big mistake, what else can he ask for such a result." ”

Zhang Xuzong got married the year before last and left a son, perhaps Zhang Xuezeng's most comforting thing is this.

Zhang Han will not say anything about taking the child to Li Zhuang to be raised, he has some emotional guilt for Zhang Xuezeng, but he has no regard for Zhang Xuzong, his actions are merciful enough.

Everyone entered the house to talk, Zhou Rui took his wife to make tea and soup, and Zhang Han said to Zhou Fengji again: "The old shopkeeper came this time, do you want to remove the position of shopkeeper?" ”

"That's what I wanted." Zhou Fengji nodded yes and said: "If you stay in the company, I'm afraid you won't be able to help Wen Lan, and you will be told to gossip about your nepotism." ”

"Gossip a few words, let people talk about it." Zhang Han said expressionlessly: "But I can do whatever I want to do about this, I want to see who dares to say such gossip in front of me." ”

Zhou Fengji was greatly moved, but he still said very firmly: "Wen Lan doesn't have to persuade me to stay, my uncle is a little guy in your house, and I am the second cabinet in the hands of the old lady, and your father is much younger than me, so I took him to do business, but unfortunately he died young...... Anyway, I have some experience with my uncle in trading, but the current situation with Yusheng is completely different from previous years, my past experience is useless, and I don't say anything when I stay, and I feel awkward in my own heart. ”

Zhang Han was silent, Zhou Fengji was telling the truth, Li Yuchun had already just collected grain and brought some newly graduated students to understand the suffering of the world and do some experienced things, Liang Hong made rapid progress, and he was very qualified to preside over a business, in comparison, Zhou Fengji was nearly sixty years old, and he really couldn't keep up.

"I'm not going to leave Heyusheng either." Zhou Fengji said: "Recently, I found that manure is accumulating and fertilizing everywhere, and the manure truck has gone to the area of Xinpingbao to collect manure, and there are many chicken farms and pig farms in Lizhuang, but it is still insufficient." ”

"Yes," Zhang Han said with some scratching his head: "There has been such trouble recently, and the amount of manure has begun to be insufficient. ”

"It's best to keep ducks." Zhou Fengji said: "In the north and south canals and even to the Sanggan River area to put ducks, a group of ducks thousands, as long as a few people will be released, there is no need to feed too much grain, ducks will find their own food, late spring to late autumn, ducks are limited in food, to winter can kill a lot, the cost of grain is very limited." The important thing is that ducks produce a lot of manure, as long as people go to shovel it regularly. ”

"That's a good idea." Zhang Han was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Someone in the military department proposed large-scale duck breeding before, but at that time, the speed of the east and west rivers was not enough, and duck raising was afraid that it would have an impact on the factory, and the small river was not big enough, so it was not of much use to raise some ducks." Uncle Zhou can consider mentioning it now, and in addition, we have enough influence on the Sanggan River now, so this is a good time. ”

Zhou Fengji said with a gratified face: "You raise the army is too well treated, every day you don't leave the meat, the price of meat for dozens of miles around Li Zhuang is thirty percent higher than elsewhere, and then raise tens of thousands of soldiers, I'm afraid that there is not enough money to buy it, this matter, I can't pack a ticket to help you solve it, but at least raise it 108,000 ducks, plus duck eggs, can always alleviate a lot." ”

Although Zhou Fengji has been in the trading house and is not in Li Zhuang or the army, it seems that he has spent a lot of effort to pay attention to the situation here, and Zhang Han is indeed not enough in terms of meat here.

Grain, fruits, vegetables, these are easy to do, meat has gradually been insufficient, in fact, if it were not for the logistics of Yusheng to a certain level, a year or two ago Li Zhuang's meat supply would not be able to help.

The average daily meat intake of each soldier is two taels, and poultry eggs must be added to ensure physical fitness.

Every 10,000 people per day is the consumption of two or three thousand catties, now the military including logistics personnel nearly 50,000 people, the daily meat supply is more than 15,000 catties, and the replacement of pigs has to be hundreds of heads a day, how can this year be compared with later generations, a large pig farm can have tens of thousands of pigs, small ones can also raise hundreds of heads, at this time a village pig farmers may not have a few, a village of 1,000 people will eat ten eight pigs a year, in addition people also herd sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, of course, also slaughter dogs to supplement meat, as well as fish, However, the number is not very large, and Yusheng alone supplies hundreds of pigs a day, and hundreds of thousands a year, which is obviously impossible.

After all, Datong here can not be compared with Beijing, the population of about 1.5 million in Beijing, the annual consumption of pigs and sheep is probably more than 100,000, chickens and ducks are even more astronomical, Datong is a military town after all, densely populated and economically developed, not to mention compared with Beijing, and the real northern cities are also very different, not to mention compared with the rich Jiangnan Huguang.

The emergence of He Yusheng has increased the number of meat farmers in the Datong area a lot, but now it is still unable to catch up with the supply of the army, and the total number of soldiers and soldiers is more than 100,000, and then according to the plan of the military department, the daily meat intake will be increased to the level of more than four taels, and the annual consumption of pigs and sheep alone will be more than 200,000 heads, and the replenishment of fish, chickens, ducks, poultry and eggs seems to be inevitable.

Zhang Han muttered: "This matter is important, but it is also very hard......

"What are you afraid of?" Zhou Fengji's black and red face showed a heartfelt smile: "With the name of the director, there must be something to do, I have been busy all my life, and it is really uncomfortable for me to go home to plant flowers and raise birds." ”

Zhang Han was moved in his heart, it seems that Zhou Fengji has thought a lot in the past few months, and finally found a way to do things and work, otherwise he will get a salary and dividends in his name, even if Zhang Han is there, there is an old day, and there must be people who gossip, and the old man who has been busy all his life does not want to be looked down upon when he is dying, this kind of mentality is also an obsession, of course, this is a respectable obsession.

"In that case, I'll ask the military secretary to prepare when I go back." Zhang Han turned his head to Zhang Xuezeng and said, "The third uncle must have something to do here, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." ”

Zhang Han's attitude is very positive and full of enthusiasm, which makes people feel his sincerity.

He really wanted to do something for Zhang Xuezeng, and it was obvious that although Zhang Xuezeng was not yet seventy, his spirit was already very declining, and he looked old, compared to the appearance when they met in Puzhou many years ago, they were like two people.

In any case, Zhang Xuzong's incident must have hit the old man very hard.

Zhang Xuezeng's attitude was a little hesitant and hesitant, he first called "Wenlan", and then he was silent.

Seeing this, Zhou Fengji stood up and said, "I'll go out first and ask Zhou Rui's family to prepare some supper." ”

"Brother Zhou doesn't have to be so ......" Zhang Xuezeng said busily: "There is nothing to carry people......

Zhang Xuezeng's face was full of hesitation and embarrassment, Zhang Han knew that the matter should not be big, and it was definitely not a matter of money, Zhang Han would ask someone to send a sum of money and grain to Puzhou every few months, except for the share for the clan, the rest was sent to Zhang Xuezeng.

But seeing Zhang Xuezeng's appearance should also be embarrassing...... Zhang Han didn't know how to say it in his heart, with his status today, every thing may be a trigger and move the whole body, and before he knew what it was, he had no way to admit it first.

Many people may face such a scene, in front of them are friends or relatives that they respect and like, but you may not be able to do what they want you to do, or you can do it but can't do it, and there are very few people who can adhere to their hearts and principles in this mentality.

"Xuzong is no longer there, his father also went early, I have two grandchildren, now one is gone, the other is I don't know where it is, I haven't seen it for a few months, if it's possible, ......" Zhang Xuezeng said: "I really want to have a grandson under my knees, who will be by my side when I die." ”

Zhang Han had already vaguely guessed that this was the case...... In addition to this matter, there is nothing else that will make Zhang Xuezeng embarrassed and plead with him seriously, Zhang Xuezeng is obviously far less physically than before, so people will miss their relatives, and Zhang Xuezeng only has Zhang Xuwen's grandson still there, and his great-grandson is still an infant child, if he feels that he is not long in the world, he will indeed think of having an adult man by his side, taking care of his own afterlife, and he has no regrets when he dies.

"Third uncle," Zhang Han said after a long time: "What Xuwen is doing now is very important, and it has reached the most important juncture, and his role in it is also very great, if this thing is done, it will be very critical to the future development of me and Yusheng, if he is asked to come back at this time, I am afraid that all the previous efforts will be in vain, if so, it will not be very beneficial to the future development of Xuwen......"

When Zhang Xuezeng heard this, he immediately said: "Since this is the case, don't call the continuation back!" ”
