Chapter 20: Courage to Deliver Furniture
In the early days of the Song Dynasty, the Tang system was followed, and there were townships and li in the countryside, and workshops were set up in the cities.
There is a township chief or lizheng, and the township chief or lizheng is responsible for collecting taxes and managing the daily affairs of the people. In the seventh year of Kaibao (974) of Song Taizu, the township was abolished, and when Song Renzong ordered the abolition of Lizheng, the head of the village was the head of the household and the elderly, and their jurisdiction was called Guan.
By the time of Song Shenzong, Wang Anshi's reform was enabled, and the township system was basically replaced by the armor protection system.
The armor protection system is a household registration system with military management overtones. The group is based on the household, and the head of the household is set up; Ten households are one guarantee, and there is a chief guarantor; The five guarantees are one big guarantee, and the chief of the big guarantee is set up; The top ten guarantees are one of the guarantees, and the chief of the capital is set up.
Zhang An is attached to Zhangzhuang, there are only about a dozen households, with a guarantee, Zhangzhuang is a big village, plus several satellite villages around, with a big guarantee, the big security chief is the Zhang family advocates Bairen.
Although Zhang Dabao has a lot of money, he is a well-known benevolent person, he is kind and benevolent, helping the poor, and has won a good reputation. Of course, there are also deliberate factors in this, who in the township doesn't want to have a good reputation?
Zhang Anyuan took care of Zhang Bairen's ancestors, so the people of the village still habitually called his family and advocated Bairen as Zhang Dong's family.
learned the news in advance, and the next day, Zhang Bairen sent Li Dequan to bring people to Gao's house to pull furniture, but they were dumbfounded when they arrived at Gao's house.
Originally, I thought that there were only a few pieces of furniture, and a board car was enough, but I didn't know that the number of furniture has not changed much, but the size is very different. This is the furniture in the usual cognition, it is simply a giant, not to mention a board car, even three cars may not be able to fit.
The Zhang family's board car was not enough, the Gao family would naturally find a way to help, and Gao Feng and Gao Hai's family each had one car and three cars.
After the furniture was installed, the three carts were full, and there was not the slightest room for space.
The most surprising and inexplicable thing in the whole process was Li Dequan. As soon as he entered Gao's house, he found that the furniture was different, this difference was completely beyond his cognition, as Gao Feng said before, this is a beautiful new style.
Of course, new things are not necessarily good things, as a housekeeper responsible for the owner, Li Dequan wants to find something wrong with it, and even uses this as an excuse to show off his power and say a few hard words.
However, when he saw the layout of the whole furniture clearly, that elegant, atmospheric style held back his words vividly. Especially after the trial sitting, Li Dequan was even more satisfied, if he hadn't asked the owner's opinion, he would have been ready to give Gao Youcai a thumbs up. This furniture is not only beautiful, but also very comfortable, and the feeling of comfort is not comparable to that of a chair.
Li Dequan is satisfied but does not dare to make his own decisions, the furniture is made for the owner, and the owner has not expressed his opinion on this new thing, how can he express his position in advance?
If the owner is satisfied, it's okay to say, but if the owner is not satisfied, won't he also have bad luck? After all, it was with his consent to change the style of furniture.
The cunning old fox even had a hunch that he was plotted by Gao Feng. This furniture is inexplicable, even if it is beautiful and comfortable, it can't hide some clear evidence, the material and the item are not equal, then the secret is intriguing.
Knowing that there is a problem, the smart Li Dequan will not ask it, but it is better for the owner to find out about this matter, and it is better for the Gao family father and son to explain, so that he can choose to stay out of the matter.
With this kind of thought, how could Li Dequan not know how to do it?
When the furniture went out, Li Dequan called Gao Youcai's father and son, and asked them to follow to retrieve the cart, but in fact, they were asked to face the owner.
Even if Li Dequan didn't have such a request, Gao Feng was ready to go together, the matter of the board car was still a trivial matter, and it was his idea to go to the meeting with Zhang Dashanren, so he agreed to Li Dequan's proposal.
It is no wonder that Gao Feng went to see Zhang Bairen for two considerations: first, because this is something he made, it is very important to not get into Zhang Bairen's eyes, so he wants to go over and set it up in person, maybe he can attract Zhang Bairen in terms of pattern.
The second is that he sold other people's chairs, and even if they were replaced with sofas, they needed to explain to the Zhang family. No matter what attitude the Zhang family ultimately holds, he must learn to bear it.
Some words may be dull in the open, but there is not much harm, at least in the sense of the foothold, he believes that in the name of a good man, he will not turn against a small person for a little furniture material.
In fact, the most terrible thing is not to explain it in advance, but to be discovered afterwards, even if there are a thousand mouths at that time, I can't understand it, and then it is not only the face that will be embarrassed, but also the character, he has just won the peak of fame for himself, and his road is still very long, and he does not want to have another accident in this kind of thing.
Gao Feng did not forget to bring two boxes of mahjong, although this kind of thing has not yet appeared, but if you teach the game to everyone, I believe it will become popular, then it will be a good thing, and the first owner will naturally be famous.
Gao Feng put a box in the car and pulled it to Zhang's house together. The other box was given directly to Li Dequan, and said that he had time to teach him how to play, although Li Dequan was puzzled, he still accepted it happily.
At this time, Gao Youcai was full of worries, although he was very optimistic about the sofa, he was still worried, he was really afraid of an accident at the peak. It's just that Gao Feng is full of confidence, and in front of Li Dequan, he can't stop it, so he can only let it go.
……
Zhang Bairen, as the chief of the Great Guard, not only has his own power, but also has a huge industry accumulated by his ancestors, and it is not too much to say that his family is rich. is also fortunate to have fallen into the name of a great and good person, otherwise his power alone is enough to scare off the surrounding people.
Zhang Dabao's house is in the middle of Zhangzhuang, and the whole yard is the largest in the village, covering an area of dozens of acres.
You don't need to enter the hospital, just look at the gate to know that this is a rich family. I saw the blue bricks and tiles, the huge pillars and cornices, the thick doors and heavy locks, the long steps and high thresholds, and the two stone lions sitting majestically on both sides, and the plaque with the words Zhang Zhai hanging high in the foyer, that kind of magnificence, how can ordinary people compare.
Gao Feng remembers that someone said: one look at the door, two look at the road, three look at the house, and four look at the tree, which are the four procedures for looking at people and homes. Although this statement is a bit extreme, it also has some truth, and people have used these things to highlight the court since ancient times.
The furniture did not go to the main entrance, not that the main gate was not allowed to enter, but that the main entrance had a high threshold, and the board car could not enter at all.
Gao Feng's father and son entered from the side door with Li Dequan, and along the way, the high court pavilions, blue bricks and green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, looked very magnificent.
After several turnovers, I came to the main hall, which is also the hall where the Zhang family is ready to place furniture.
The main hall had been cleaned and looked empty.
Li Dequan beckoned everyone to unload the furniture, but Gao Feng walked into the hall to plan the placement plan. After measuring the size and simply calculating it, the plan for the peak appeared.
Seeing that Gao Feng arranged for everyone to put up furniture, Li Dequan took the opportunity to invite Zhang Bairen.
After placing the furniture, Gao Feng took out the tea set and put it on the coffee table, he also wanted to put a few pots of small flowers or fruit plates, but he didn't have it at hand, and he couldn't raise it for a while, so he had to do it.
Everything is neatly placed, the room has a new look, but the style is also different, Gao Feng nodded in approval, only this kind of family is suitable for sofas!
"Haha, talented brother, it's just a few pieces of furniture, why did you send it in person?" A hearty baritone came from outside the room, not only the language but also the tone sounded comfortable, Gao Feng knew that this was the main master, and hurriedly walked out of the hall to greet him.
