Chapter 168: The news doesn't stop

New sprouts sprout on both sides of the broad road, and there should be no idlers in the spring ploughing, and the downtown is prosperous.

In the county seat of Sanshui County, there were not many people buying and selling things in the market at this time of the year, and the people were busy, either planting more, or waiting for others to bring the plough to repair.

This year, it is a change from the norm, a lot of people come and go, all kinds of cries and sells one after another, the main Bo Zhaoxiang and the county Cheng Zhang Mingsheng are busy with some small things, walking around together, looking at the people's days, looking at the prosperous scene, all of which have some credit from the two of them.

Both of them think so, they have been doing their duty, they have not made trouble, and they have not gone there to find trouble when they see Zhang Jiahao, so Sanshui County can be like this.

One by one to greet the people they know, the two of them walked to the dock, here is still a sea of people, there are fewer people who read, but there are still so many people who work, there are some people from other counties, there is no field at home, and there is no handicraft.

After knowing that there is a shortage of people on the wharf, relying on some strength, they have come to work, the wharf is indeed short of people, many people who have fields at home have gone back to farm, outsiders just replenish the manpower, and those who have finished planting will arrange new things to do when the time comes.

The Zhang family has a lot of work, and they are not afraid of finding a place to work, and the people who sell the cool skin come out early, and they go to the Zhangjia Zhuangzi to ask for the cool skin, and the Zhangjia Zhuangzi has to make some for them, even if the weather is not hot.

The county and the lord Bo just walked, watched, and sighed at the changes in Sanshui County in the past two years.

"Brother Xuyang, you said that if there was no Zhang Family Zhuangzi, what would happen to us here? Is there a dock anymore, are there any of those deals? ”

Lord Bo Zhao Xiang said happily.

Zhang Mingsheng, the county magistrate, shook his head slightly, "No, who bought this broken mountain in the first place?" When they bought it, how many people said that they were stupid, and now I know who is stupid, but it's a pity, Cheng Xianling can't see it, he is still busy over there, and he can make a lot of money by selling ice this summer, and he can get a lot of ice in winter, so that he can still sail here. ”

"Yes, Zhangjia Zhuangzi is still there, but it is not easy for Cheng County to come over once, Jia Shan is here, he doesn't know how to be stable, toss, toss himself in, I don't know who the next county commander is, will I want to toss a loss before I stop."

Zhao Xiang has always been worried about the location of the county order, the last time someone else took it away, this time he felt that there was not much hope, but he would rather be a master here than be transferred to another place as a county order, he has already liked Sanshui County, and there is nothing too much to worry about.

There is something in the county, nothing more than which family's chicken is gone, whose child falls and wants to find a doctor, the house is leaking, and no one can work at home.

The people are not afraid of the yamen at all, of course, the people do not just want people to work without paying, occasionally there are pigs killed at home, they will bring some pigs into the water, according to the recipe given by the Zhang family to make a few things to eat, and then get some wine, and eat and drink with the officials guarding here, and the county and the lord Bo also eat together.

In terms of public security, there is no need to worry about it, it turns out that the officials who are gangsters are all very good, seven hundred of the officials, six hundred are patrolling around, and even the farthest place of the Qin family is now half an hour past a bureaucracy, and those who want to make trouble are also frightened when they see such a dense patrol.

Zhang Mingsheng, the county magistrate, knew Zhao Xiang's thoughts, he actually wanted Zhao Xiang to go up, he himself belonged to a grade that was not as good as entering the stream, saying that he was a person in the yamen, saying that he was not, he was not, he could not be directly promoted to the county order, just waiting for Zhao Xiang to go up, he could make up for Zhao Xiang's position, it was different from now.

Seeing that Zhao Xiang said about the next county order there, he was silent, and said: "Brother Ji Fang, don't worry, maybe the next one will be you, and I will follow suit, Sanshui County will be better in the future, we don't have to worry too much about it, what the Zhang family says, just follow what to do." ”

"I want to too, but there is little hope, Zhangjia Zhuangzi has actually helped a lot, and I can't stand too many people in this position." Zhao Xiang didn't have any bottom in his heart, this year's Sanshui County is better than in previous years, waiting for the river over there to be expanded and all connected, maybe the official of the sixth grade is willing to come over.

"Then why don't we go to Zhangjia Zhuangzi and ask to see if they have any solutions? There is a high-ranking person there, and they are willing to find an obedient person to sit in this position, which of us who is now in the yamen is disobedient? ”

Zhang Mingsheng said that Zhangjia Zhuangzi suddenly came up with an idea, and the two of them went over to ask, the Zhang family should have a way, the new county order can be taken away, and it won't be too much trouble to get the original person to be the county order.

Zhao Xiang was also moved in his heart, but he shook his head and said: "The Zhang family has had too many things recently, Zhang Zhong went to the imperial examination again, his family spent a lot of money, and things are one after another, how can we have the time to care?" I went to make trouble for others. ”

"Hey~! This doesn't work, that doesn't work, is it really waiting for a county order to come? I'm just going to set my sights on your position, and I'm not reconciled. ”

Zhang Mingsheng did not hide his desire to go further.

Zhao Xiang didn't know what to say for a while, he couldn't quit and give up his position to Zhang Mingsheng, then his mother would beat him to death, and his mother was also a person from a scholarly family, counting on him to be a big official and prop up the façade of the family.

Just when the two of them were worried about the next county magistrate, several officials hurriedly ran over, saw the two people wiping their sweat and said: "Zhang Xiancheng, Zhao Zhubo, good news, there is good news." ”

"What's the good news? Let's hear it. The county looked at the truck that was pulling the goods and asked.

"The good news of Lord Bo, Lord Bo saw that the Quyuan plough seemed to be a little uncomfortable, so he made a slight improvement, shortened the original plough arm, and increased the degree of bending, and carved patterns on the handrails.

In this way, it is more convenient to turn the direction with the ploughing, the people are less impulsed, and even if there is mud and sand on their hands, they do not have to worry about grinding and uncomfortable, and the people agree that this improvement will benefit people a lot when they are farming, and countless people will increase their food income for this purpose. ”

The official didn't know how to practice, and when he spoke, his face was full of respect, as if he was really like what he said.

Zhang Mingsheng and Zhao Xiang were stupid at the same time, standing motionless, looking at the plow pulled by the cart, as if in a dream.

Zhang Mingsheng was the first to react and said to Zhao Xiang: "How? Zhangjia Zhuangzi really didn't forget us, if you don't make a move, it's just a political achievement, quickly, go back immediately and write an excerpt and hand it up, Brother Ji Fang, with this political achievement, the county order position of Sanshui County can be safer, hurry up, don't get in my way. ”

Zhao Xiang is not the kind of person who doesn't want to be an official, looking at the new plow on the car, he doesn't have to guess to understand, the Zhang family doesn't want to go down another county order, it's already annoying, this is pushing himself, if he doesn't know what to do, he can find a rope and hang himself.

He laughed, ran directly to the yamen, ran out for dozens of steps and turned around and ran back, and said to the yamen: "Take this plough back, I have to draw it, otherwise how can I say it, send so much, is there still Zhou Xihu there?" Hurry up and send it, it's spring ploughing again. ”

"What the county magistrate said is that there is Zhou Gongzi's side, and the small one will arrange for someone to send it over, my lord, please." The official was equally happy, and even changed his name, picked up a plow, and ran back, while the others sent the plow from the car to Zhou Xihu.

"Don't shout, you haven't skimmed the eight characters yet." Zhao Xiang is willing to listen to this title, but he still has to say a word.

"Adult, the little one is not nonsense, if it weren't for the adult as the county magistrate this time, it is estimated that the Zhang family would be angry, forget it last time, this time there is still a person, it is estimated that the Zhang family can be taken away directly, don't you know the Zhang family's ability?"

The official knew that this was what the lord said, and continued to flatter.

Back at the Yamen, Zhao Xiang took out the four treasures of the study, and his hands trembled and wanted to study ink, but he couldn't use his strength. Zhang Mingsheng had no choice but to take it, "Brother Ji Fang, don't worry, sit down and rest, you can write when the ink on my side is ready." ”

Zhao Xiang took a few deep breaths, he no longer had the usual steadiness, he also thought that he was not in a hurry, maybe he was not in a hurry? is about to be promoted, which one will not be in a hurry?

Zhang Mingsheng looked at Zhao Xiang's appearance, so he had to chat with him, "Brother Ji Fang, as long as you become the county commander, there will be money in the county account immediately, you have to be careful at that time, don't move if you shouldn't move, the Zhang family can give us things and money, but we are absolutely not allowed to be greedy for ink." ”

"This is natural, the money of the yamen is for the people to do things, not for me, I will not use the money if I lend my guts, just look at the Cheng County order, as long as you do it well, the money given by the Zhang family will definitely be more than the money you are greedy for."

Zhao Xiang doesn't need Zhang Mingsheng to say that he knows how to do things, he has never been greedy for money before, his life is average, but now that life is good, the Zhang family sends things over from time to time, and then goes to be greedy for the people's money, which is too unusual.

The two of you said sentence by sentence, Zhao Xiang was much better, picked up the pen and no longer shook like just now, drew a rough look according to the new plow, and disassembled the new plow, and drew every part, with gratitude to the Zhang family in his heart, if he didn't put the credit on his head, the Zhang family himself could use it.

After a while, Zhao Xiang wrote down the matter of the new plough and put the credit for the improvement on himself, which made him blush a little, but he couldn't refuse.

He put down his pen and dried the ink, but before he could put it in the envelope, another official ran in from outside and shouted, "Good news, my lord, this time my lord will definitely be the county magistrate." ”
