Chapter 161: Compromise if you miss

Zhang Zhong is not picky about food at all, he can serve anything, but he won't eat more.

There was a shortage of seeds and farming tools in the prefecture, which was said by several county magistrates, and the merchants in charge of seeds and farming tools were also contacted by the county magistrates, and Zhang Zhong wanted to know how the officials and merchants in Shuzhou would treat him.

The cold vegetables came up first, not to mention, there is indeed a bit of ability here, there are cucumbers, spinach, Shuzhou is south of the Yellow River, but it has not reached the point where there are fresh vegetables at this time, I don't know if the people here are planted by themselves, or bought from outside.

Being able to eat a cucumber with a strong fragrance in the spring is something that many people dare not think about for a lifetime.

As soon as the garlic and cucumber were brought up, several people and chopsticks stretched out a lot, Zhang Zhong ate it in his mouth, nodded slightly, and said: "It's okay, only a little salt, garlic, and cucumbers. ”

"Adults can eat more if they like to eat, my lord, since you arrived in Shuzhou, somehow, a few of us can do a good job, which can see the ability of adults."

A businessman sitting on Zhang Zhong's rightmost took the opportunity to praise Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong has also learned how to deal with it in the past few years, in the past, he must have been business-like, taking other people's words seriously, today he will never think so again, after listening to the flattery of the businessman, he squinted his eyes with a smile, and then said:

"Well, this official doesn't ask for too much, as long as the cultivator has his land and the dweller has his house, he is worthy of the emperor's grace and Li Min, which is enough."

This big thing is said to make people know that it is impossible as soon as they hear it, but the businessmen still praise one after another, and they rarely speak when they join the army, and they only watch others around Zhang Zhong and pat on the back.

Half an hour passed, Zhang Zhong was still chatting with the Venerable Master, but the merchants were a little breathless, today they came with a purpose, waiting for Zhang Zhong to discuss the matter of seeds and farm tools with them, so as to make a lot of money, and put the problems that are prone to arise on Zhang Zhong's body.

They did not believe that the people did not lack seeds and farm tools, and before Zhang Zhong arrived, the county commanders in each county used the excuse that there would be new seeds and new farm tools this year to collect the seeds and farm tools in the hands of the people.

If you want spring ploughing, you have to buy it again, you can't keep your own seeds as you have done in the past, and find a way to make a farm tool by yourself.

The method is also simple, that is, the house has left money, but this money needs to be sent to the capital, and it has not been sent yet, see if Zhang Ji will use this money to buy seeds and farm tools, if it is used, there will be a handle in the hands of everyone, if not, Zhang Zhong will take the money from his own family, then ask for money, and the seeds will be sold by the grain.

It is impossible for the people to afford to buy seeds and farm tools, although at the beginning it was said that they could be exchanged, and if they were exchanged for bad seeds and farm tools, they needed to add money, and they had to decide how much they wanted.

If the people delay the spring ploughing, then Zhang Zhong will definitely not be able to run, the first to be cleaned up is him, he didn't just come, he has been here for half a month, he is invited to drink or travel every day, so long has not figured out the affairs of the people, who will he clean up?

It was with such confidence that the businessmen thought that Zhang Zhong would compromise with them and would not interfere in things in the future.

But Zhang Zhong didn't mention it at all, he looked harmless to humans and animals, and when others talked, he also talked about the topic, and he didn't talk about seeds and farm tools at all.

Finally, a businessman couldn't help it, turned around from the topic of Fengyue, and said: "Lord Thorn Shi, with you, Shuzhou will be more prosperous in the future, and the people will be grateful to you, and it will be spring ploughing soon, and I want to come to Lord Zhang......"

"This official is to help the imperial court, can you be grateful to this official alone, can let the people live a good life, that is the honor of this official, what fish are in the river here?"

Without waiting for the merchant to speak, Zhang Zhong took the words and moved elsewhere again.

At this time, not only the businessmen were stunned, but even the record of joining the army found that something was wrong, Zhang Zhong clearly deliberately did not mention seeds and farm tools.

The difficulties of all kinds of shirk prepared by everyone, as well as the excuse for the price increase of seeds and farm tools, they couldn't find a chance to say it at all, and they saved up a punch, and when they were ready to hit people, they found that the front was empty, and there was nothing, and everyone felt like this in their hearts, and they couldn't use their strength.

Recording that he joined the army had to say something to help.

"Zhang Tingshi, a few soldiers in the camp have been *** recently, saying that they want to go home to farm and get money, but it is not yet time to pay them, so they can't give them back, I heard that the people have no seeds in their hands and no farm tools, Zhang Tingshi has to think of a way."

"Oh~! Got it. Zhang Zhong's expression did not change in the slightest, as if he had just said the dish, and agreed casually.

It's troublesome, the businessman and the clerk have noticed it, this Zhang Zhong is not easy to deal with, I can't see what he thinks in his heart, it's already at this time, and he doesn't look anxious.

"My lord, if you need seeds and farming tools, I'll have some on hand, but ......"

"Hmmm! Clearly, I will naturally look for you if I need to, do you know where to fish here? I have countless fishing rods at home, and I can't find a good place to go. ”

Zhang Zhong once again planned to talk about fishing.

The businessmen couldn't, so they had to follow Zhang Zhong's words, and the record on the side of the army could see sweat on his forehead, and he wouldn't be like this if he was a person, thinking that he really came to a thorn history who didn't understand anything and only knew how to have fun.

But Zhang Zhong is obviously not that kind of official, he was born as a champion, and it can be seen from the events of the past few years that wherever he goes, it will immediately change its appearance, and even the poor place in Lingnan now makes people in the court break their heads and stuff their own people into it.

It can be seen from this that Zhang Zhong is not an incompetent official, he has great ability, no, no, today's matter is definitely not simple, what went wrong?

When Zhang Zhong and the businessmen happily talked about fishing tricks, the record joined the army and thought about things alone, thinking of the Zhang family's ability, thinking of the situation encountered by Zhang Zhong rising step by step, and finally thinking of the four judges in Luzhou at the beginning, thinking of the people who were killed and locked up by the overstep, and the Ning family in Naqinzhou.

Joining the army, he suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, it was broken, it must have been something that made Zhang Zhong notice, and he felt that he couldn't use such a simple method to deal with Zhang Zhong.

The businessman and the clerk were worried about joining the army, and in the room next to them, several people were also worried, they were the people sent by the county magistrates to check on them, and they wanted to know how Zhang Zhong would deal with it in the end.

From the words of an hour, it can be seen that Zhang Zhong has other means, not afraid that he will be in a hurry, nor afraid that he will be angry, just afraid that he will talk to the world like a nobody.

"Oh, it's hard, I might as well give him money if I knew I would." A person who should be the master is there *** started and said anxiously.

Next to him, a man with a scarf on his head and a feather fan in his hand shook the fan a few times, disagreeing with this remark, "Give money?" How much money can you give to bribe Zhang Zhong? Don't you see the pendant under the goldfish bag he hung? Five-colored tortoiseshell, I have never seen a five-color tortoiseshell since I was a child, and I just slammed into the table leg with a bang, and Zhang Zhong didn't even look at it. ”

His voice fell, and the rest of the people were silent, the Zhang family had a lot of business and miscellaneous accounts, and no one knew how much money his family had, mainly because each business had something called shares, and it was also operated together with many powerful people and businessmen.

I don't know how much money I have, it doesn't mean that I don't know that Zhang Zhong has money, as long as I want to use it, I will make a move in 10,000 dollars, not 10,000 yuan, it is 10,000 yuan, bribery, selling the whole of Shuzhou may make him tempted, just like the hedgehog, full of thorns, and nowhere to eat.

"If you really can't do it, just find him a few difficult cases, don't use other means, it's useless, if you can delay it for a while, or if he is a assassin in Shuzhou, he will change the previous method, pay rent and tax on the land, he can't stay in Shuzhou for a lifetime, hurry up and take it away."

The master who had just spoken thought of a way, and everyone knew that if he really wanted to do it according to this method, he would indeed be able to transfer Zhang Zhong to another place, but the problem was that the old man would not agree, so the money lost during this period of time was not a small amount.

When a few people were sweating in a hurry, Zhang Zhong was so full that he originally decided to eat a few bites casually, and continue to eat when he got home, but he didn't expect to be in a good mood, and he felt that the taste of the food was also better.

The feeling of being in control of everything is too comfortable, looking at the inconsistencies between the businessman and the recorder joining the army in front of him, Zhang Zhong thought of the cat teasing the mouse.

The strategy is good, but it's a pity, you shouldn't use it for yourself, who let yourself have a good son, this is the loneliness and defeat that the son and daughter-in-law tell to their father and mother, the feeling of no opponent, loneliness.

Zhang Zhong drank some wine, and when he thought about things, he was fluttering, and the other people didn't know Zhang Zhong's thoughts, otherwise they would be mad.

The officials and businessmen in Shuzhou are indeed more powerful than those in Luzhou, and the people in Luzhou don't know what to do, or they break the jar, but Shuzhou's will not be able to do it, and they will immediately find a way to expose this matter.

Several businessmen looked at each other and said to Zhang Zhong: "Lord Thorn Shi, we actually have a reluctant request, that is, we want to donate seeds and farm tools, so that the local people can quickly spring ploughing, and I hope that the adults can take the lead." ”

A businessman said to Zhang Zhong with sincerity on his face, this is no way, since it can't be done, then you have to pay the price, otherwise if Zhang Zhong counterattacks, it will be troublesome.

When Zhang Zhong heard this, he immediately put away the contempt just now, and sure enough, he really hasn't met such an opponent, he has seen it toughly, and he has also seen it if he pretends to be cowardly, and it is the first time he has seen someone who compromises as soon as he finds out that something is wrong, and the road in Shuzhou looks not easy to walk.
