Chapter Forty-Nine: Idle to Play Games

The newly built ship is still sailing, and the old man pays more attention to those local specialties than Xin'er who only likes some interesting things.

According to the time estimate, these things were transported only for the second time, and the first time the things that were transported back over there the old man knew, they were also specialty, and they were secretly left by some local officials, but this time it was obviously different from the last time, not only the specialties of Luzhou, but also the specialties of the surrounding states.

If it were someone else, the old man would think that these things were obtained by accident and sent over, but the Zhang family basically had nothing accidental, which showed that the people in those states should have a good life, the old man understood Zhang Zhong's character, and his family would not ignore others after he made money.

From this point of view, it won't take long for the performance excerpts of the five surrounding states to be handed over, the more merit you have, the more powerful the discerning person will think that Zhang Zhong is, who doesn't know what happened over there? Even if people who praise the five states on the surface, they will value Zhang Zhong more in their hearts.

"Grandpa, there is a painting, there are words written under the painting, I read it to grandpa, June 17th, heavy rain, a sea around, the house washed down six numbers, set wooden rows into a land, rippling with the waves, June 19th, there are floating corpses flowing by, I feel anxious in my heart, and I sent the strong seedling zero team to search against the current.

There is a baby lying on his back on the water, rushing to the side of the wooden row, thinking that there is a floating corpse, Xiaobao into the water, the baby comes up, blows the air pressure chest through the lungs, and then there is a cry, the person who sees it is overjoyed and exhales, the baby's small hands are open, and the mouth is babbling.

On June 22, there were people in the upper state capital who came to save them, and then there were more people, and the mountain people were inside, sometimes calling for help, but unfortunately the zero team had too few personnel to expand the search area, and I did not know how many people rushed to the sea, and on June 24, the rain did not stop......"

Xin'er opened a page and read a page, and she couldn't read it anymore, tears were left drops behind, and there were sadness, helplessness, sadness, joy, and expectation in those things she had seen, so that her mood moved with her, although she was small, she also knew that life was precious.

The old man took the book with the picture, looked at the special painting method on it, looked at the clear scene in the painting, and said to his granddaughter: "Xin'er, this is the real wisdom and bravery, your Uncle Zhang has no tree alive, don't look at it as some people who died, but there are more people who survived because of him, and there is no piece of undulating wooden array, which will add more souls over there." ”

Xin'er was still sad, nodded, and asked, "Grandpa, why didn't Uncle Zhang divide the wooden raft into small pieces, so that the blocking place would be bigger, why don't you make more wooden rafts?" ”

"Silly girl, the wind and waves on the seaside are big, even if they are all connected together, they have to follow the ups and downs, look at this one, there are big stones painted on it to press the wooden raft, the impact of the waves in a good place, this is how the wooden raft is sometimes lifted high, if it is not for the loose and tight rope tie, the people on the wooden raft would have fallen into the water long ago.

He also wanted to arrange it earlier, but he didn't give it that long, he had just arrived, and he didn't have time to do it at all, if he was given half a year, there would be no accident there, look at this painting, it says to dig two rivers, and now I think it's been dug now. ”

The old man naturally knows more than his granddaughter, and from these paintings, you can see the things over there, not only the wooden rows, but also the big boat over there to help block the wind and waves, you can imagine what the scene was like at that time, for this flood, the Zhang family did everything they could.

Xin'er understood now, snatched the drawing book back and continued to read, and after reading the last page, she asked again: "Grandpa, what would happen if Uncle Zhang's family didn't have it over there?" ”

"No? It won't be anything here, but a lot of people will die over there, even after the disaster, some people will die, and more people will flee, your Uncle Zhang's family is not ordinary, don't look at only one state, but it has supported the surrounding five states, without him there, that piece of six states will be over.

Originally, there were fewer people, and if there was no Zhang family in the past, there would be fewer people there, for the country and the people, this is the real way, don't worry, when we get there, you will see a different Luzhou than the one painted on the map. ”

The old man looked at the river in front of him, and said to Xin'er with emotion, he believed in the Zhang family's ability to do things, and a lot of money had been transported here, and others thought it was a dilapidated place, and if it was replaced by the Zhang family, they would have the ability to make money at that time.

Xin'er didn't care about anything different, as long as she didn't die, as long as she could see Sister Liu'er and Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao when she got to the place, she was satisfied, and shook the illustrated booklet in her hand.

"Grandpa, this thing is really fun, with pictures."

"It's not fun, it's useful, if something similar happens in other places, you can do it, it talks about how to treat people who fall into the water, how to bandage wounds, and don't drink raw water, and eat more garlic, think about it, if the Yellow River sends water, can you do it?"

The old man saw more learning in such things.

"Yes." Xin'er nodded in agreement.

"You can't hold this book according to it, you have to leave it for the people here and send it to the emperor." The old man stretched out his hand as he spoke.

Xin'er handed over the good-looking books very reluctantly, and looked at her grandfather ordering someone to send them away, and said with some reluctance: "The good-looking picture is gone, I will take a look at it with my own eyes when I get to the place." ”

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't know that the old man was coming, the two of them had checked the accounts in the past few days, and found that Qi Dong would find a way to be greedy every day, and it was just a lot of money, but it was a drop in the bucket for Zhang Xiaobao.

"I'm so greedy for ten times of money, isn't it time to make a move? Otherwise, others should be greedy when they see that there is nothing to do. "Wang Juan finally learned a hand now, the account check is called a fine, seeing that in the past few days, Qi Dong is greedy, it can't be said to be greedy, it should be public power for private use, the benefits are left by himself, and he has kept ten times, and persuaded Zhang Xiaobao to clean up.

Zhang Xiaobao has been living so easily these days, accompanying Liu Shaoqing and the four of them to play games.

Two of the four people were directly calculated, and the other two were affected, and the affected people did not have much loss, but they offended people, and they also made a few days less money.

Since Zhang Xiaobao raised the purchase price, the shrimp paste has changed from the usual and consistent multilateral to the current eight through one jar, Cao Herui has said that Liu Shaoqing has said that the good thing is to use shrimp to exchange wages, and when the time comes, it will be divided into four or six, because of the price increase of shrimp paste, he has also changed his mind.

If you usually work hard, how can thirty people earn more than thirty jars of shrimp in a day, but Zhang Xiaobao is not ready to let these thirty people do anything, new clothes are made, three meals a day can be said to have wine, and you still want to work after drinking?

After barely following the team for a walk, thirty people can only get five jars of shrimp a day, and they don't care, they eat and drink well every day, even if they don't have wages.

In this way, Cao Herui's hopes were disappointed, thinking that five jars of shrimp can make nearly two jars of shrimp paste, one jar sells for eight, and so it is sixteen times a day, and looking at this price, it seems that there is a rising trend, and when the shrimp paste is made, wouldn't it be able to rise to more?

After thinking about it, he didn't want to send shrimp to Liu Shaoqing, but asked people to send some money, saying that the thirty subordinates in the family would not do anything, and there was no salary these days, so the money sent would be used to buy shrimp and boats.

He couldn't say such words himself, so he had to ask the housekeeper to go over and say, and after listening to the description of the housekeeper who came back, Liu Shaoqing's face was gloomy after hearing such words, but he still thanked him, and the money was also accepted.

Knowing that this shrimp paste could be sold for a lot of money, Cao Herui sent the rest of the family out to catch shrimp in the sea with a wooden raft, so that it could be used to make shrimp paste, and sell it after it was ready.

Fan Cambodia and Jiang Wanshi also felt that sending people over would make less money, so they found reasons to transfer their subordinates back and followed them to the sea to catch shrimp.

Liu Shaoqing can't say anything anymore, interests, let the three people who did things together stay away, he can't find other people's faults, after all, it is the people of his family who don't give others anything to eat first, what he said is the evening, or the kind of shrimp in a jar, and the people in the family have changed their own opinions.

No one will believe him even if he tells the truth, and the subordinate in the family will be beaten for a while every day for the past few days, and if he is not killed, he will be whipped a day, in fact, he will tell the people in the yard that the master will do what he tells him to do, and he will wait to be whipped if he does it.

When he was beating people, he also sent all the people in his family out to catch shrimp, and at this time there were already twenty-six jars, but for the number of two hundred jars, it was far from enough, and when the time came, it was really impossible to pay it, so he would have to pay twice as much as the family, that is, six hundred yuan.

Liu Shaoqing also had a good idea, and wanted his family to make seventy or eighty jars, and when the time came, he would sell them, and the money would almost be enough to compensate.

As for the three unrighteous people who see money, they go and make money on their own, and if there are good things in the future, they will not be called to them, and if there is charcoal in the snow, it is no different from falling into a well.

Thinking that the three of them are also in debt, it makes sense to do so, Liu Shaoqing comforted himself.

He can think like this, but other people don't, especially the subordinates in his family, when they are fishing for shrimp on the beach, they can see people from the other two families catching the same there every day, and the speed of each one is much faster than before.

Only these two families are okay to say, but today Zhang Xiaobao gave Cao Herui's family a holiday, or the kind of paid leave for wages, they are fine, and they will hang around today.
