Chapter 143: Han Yuan Comes to Sell Zhuangzi

The old man was bent on making things happen as soon as possible, and had no intention of continuing to shop, so he turned around and walked back with four children and two seedling guards.

Let Xiaobao and Juan Juan go home early, and start work early, and the spring is busier, isn't there a person who doesn't plough in spring, so when he walked back, the old man said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan: "When you go back, let your family go to find those people who don't plough in spring, it's nothing more than spending more wages, although you can save it with the villagers, but it's too long, Xiaobao, I'll help you with your father's affairs." ”

"Okay, if you find a landless family in Sanshui County, it's actually not provincial, if my Zhuangzi and Juanjuan's Zhuangzi really work, they won't be paid, but the food money will be more than the salary."

Zhang Xiaobao agreed, and the old man remembered that when the Zhuang households of Zhang and Wang's families were working, the food of the main family was full of good things, which was better than what ordinary people eat in the small shop.

When he came, he walked for half an hour, and he went back faster, the old man walked in that posture, and he couldn't see that his body was not good at all, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could only trot to follow.

As soon as he returned to Zhuangzi, the old man went to the water and clouds, and he had to do what he promised, write a good letter for people to send out, and he had to write a letter to the emperor, he must be in the top three, the Zhang family used so much money to dredge, and it was not good if the ranking was low, and the first township tribute in the state went up.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't bother to help Xiaoyanzi catch insects and put them in the nest when they got home, they caught a lot of them yesterday, and when they got up in the morning, they really ate it, thinking they wouldn't eat it.

The two of them first came up with a plan, and then began to issue orders, and the people of the entire inner courtyard were mobilized, Zhang Xiaobao was responsible for the materials, including stones, sand, tools, etc., and Wang Juan was in charge of people, looking for someone to notify the yamen, let the yamen issue a notice, and wait for people to be recruited, so that she could adjust the construction length and number of people in each section.

The cooperation of the two people happens to take their own strengths, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also treat this as a major matter, which is related to Zhang Xiaobao's father's ranking in the imperial examination.

More than 100 servants who are idle here are finally used, Zhang Xiaobao originally planned to do so, otherwise he would not let the yamen recruit so much, the task of the officials is to patrol the river, patrol the river with a small boat, and have to wait for the weather to be a little warmer, practice swimming, meet someone who fell into the water, be saved, here Zhang Xiaobao is also ready to go on some water entertainment.

The official guarding here got the order of the head of the Zhang family and rushed towards the yamen at the speed of a six-hundred-mile express.

Zhang Xiaobao asked people to take the account book, put the abacus that he had changed in front of him, turned over the account with one hand, and brought up a phantom shadow on the abacus with one hand, he must know how much money he still has, just as Wang Juan said, he is going to get a fleet out.

Don't want a big boat, it's a small boat, and don't go far, only pick up and deliver goods on this section of the waterway in Sanshui County, so as not to offend people, and outsiders can't get in.

When two people, one in charge of financial operations and the other in charge of military command, worked together to make full efforts, efficiency was laid out the next day.

Zhang Xiaobao raised 23,000 yuan of money or silk from all over the place, which has been dispersed and distributed to each section of the water, and he will be given a day's money for a day's work, and the river will be expanded first, the silt will be cleared, and people will be sent out to buy stones and sand, and the nearest ones are being shipped.

More than 2,000 people came from Wang Juan's side, not only the people from Sanshui County came over, but also from several counties next to them, and before dawn in the morning, these people who were called up last night and heard the news set off, and those who were nearby had already arrived at the place and were eating what Zhuangzi had prepared.

Sanshui County Yamen sent 400 people to change their clothes, take tools to help work, after all, this river repair thing is not Zhang Wang's family, in order to make these people work harder, anyone who comes to do things, Yamen counted them as the court this time, do 20 days, during which the food is managed by Zhangjia Zhuangzi.

After 20 days, you don't have to work this year, let alone pay commissions, if you continue to work, you can manage the Zhang family to ask for wages, and if you work for 25 more days, you will be exempted from transfer, and you will be exempted from rent for 30 days.

At this time, Zhang Xiaobao made it bad again, there was a farmer who could not live in the field, he found it, and he was responsible for cooking, boiling water, doing such work, working for a few more days, and the rent was completely free, plus the food of Zhang Wang's family, no matter how much he received this year, he didn't have to hand it over.

Wang Juan for the sake of the family's interests, not to mention that Zhang Xiaobao took advantage of the country's loopholes, according to her words, that is, cooking and boiling water is logistics, which is more important.

The little baby also wanted to go, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaobao, and the little baby had no land, what did he run over? Honestly study at home, and in a few days follow the spring festival, you have to take the exam, and if you fail the exam, just wait for less toys, snacks, and less time to play.

The first person to do it first, there is no chance to be lazy, just like that, everyone is divided, do more and do less, there are people watching next to him, and then the salary will be calculated according to this, if you are really lazy, it will not be counted as you gave the court the 20 days of work every year, let alone expect to be exempted from this and that.

In terms of food supplied by the Zhang family, it is impossible to eat meat at a time, a little meat star, sorghum rice over water, plus salted beans, after eating, they have the strength to eat, and they can eat three sea bowls at a time.

The old man also wrote to his nephew, asking him to send people to work as well, preparing to dig the river and build the wharf before the summer rains heavily.

This spring is destined to be busy, all those who do not spring ploughing, all around Sanshui County, are working, Xiaoluoshui still has a section of the river that needs to be dug out.

Zhang Xiaobao has to take time out every day to settle accounts, one loan and one loan, the accounts are clear, income and expenditure can be easily calculated, there is no need to send money to the capital now, as long as the money earned there is recorded, it will be taken out directly to his father to do some relations, get some poetry or something, the two famous restaurants in the east and west cities are their own, arrange a few more times, you can save money.

On the fifth day of the work, two guests came to the Zhang family Zhuangzi, and the Han family and the Yuan family arrived and wanted to sell the Zhuangzi to the Zhang family.

Zhang Wang's family personally went to the reception, some negotiations, the price of the two Zhuangzi is not high, they are in a hurry to use the money, the Zhuangzi is sold to others, others don't want it, for fear of getting into trouble, the head of their family is still locked up in the capital waiting for the sentence, who dares to buy their Zhuangzi at this time, is it an accomplice?

Only Zhangjia Zhuangzi will not have this suspicion, therefore, when the two families had no way to ask for help, they found Zhangjia Zhuangzi, hoping that Zhangjia Zhuangzi would buy Zhuangzi, if they could help intercede, it would be better, they just thought about this, not to mention that the matter was done by Xiao Houye, and the Zhang family could not interfere, even if they could and would not care.

If you want to arrest our family and go back, I can still help you intercede, isn't that cheap, it is not in line with Zhang Xiaobao's character of repaying kindness and revenge to death.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan hid behind the screen and listened to them while Zhang Wang was talking.

Maybe it is because he knows that the Zhang family is now in charge of the Zhang family, and the two people who came are also women, that is, the eldest lady of Dr. Han and Yuan Yilang, and the concubine can't say anything.

"Sister Zhang, you must help us this time, there is no backbone in the family, how can you live these days, it is that Jia Shan, who deceived my husband to deal with you, in fact, my husband didn't want to go at all, but then Jia Shan found Wen County Order, our family is in Huayuan County, how dare you not come."

Mrs. Han was crying there and said that she was much older than Zhang Wang's, and she also called one sister after another, and Mrs. Yuan next to her was also there and said:

"Sister Zhang, we know that we have done something wrong this time, but the husband will not die of sin, we ask my sister for help, and say a word to the waiting master, my sister's great kindness, we can never forget it for the rest of our lives, and we will repay our sister's kindness even if we are cows and horses in the next life."

Zhang Xiaobao behind the screen pursed his lips, and his lips moved, "Be a cow and a horse in the next life, where will I find you in the world?" Why don't you talk about this world? Just right, give me two Zhuangzi Bai to my family, and I will intercede for him. ”

Wang Juan nodded: "No sincerity." ”

Zhang Wangshi also showed a sad look, his eyes were red, he picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped it, and said: "The bitterness of the two sisters, I know as a sister, I just wanted to drive people back, which one is also there, let me kill people without saying a word, I have nightmares every day, a few days ago, when Hou Ye was still there, my sister told Hou Ye to let people go."

Who knows, don't look at the age of the Hou Ye, but he can't listen to the persuasion of others at all, and the sister doesn't dare to say more, in case he annoys the Hou Ye, the Zhang family will be finished, the two sisters, it's better to think of something else. ”

The two people who came over already knew that this would be the case, and their purpose was not this, that Mrs. Han immediately said: "Actually, it's not that there is no other way, but the money on hand gave Jia County 10,000 yuan, and the family sent out 20,000 yuan, and I can't make up the money anymore."

Therefore, I want to sell the 6,000 acres of Zhuangzi, but no one buys it, so my sister might as well buy it, and with the money, we can continue to go to the capital to make some points. ”

"My family is more than 6,500 acres, and the extra ones are not counted, only the price of 6,500 acres for my sister is sold, and my sister will see how it is." Mrs. Yuan also reported her family's land, and the land of the two families is really a lot, which is more than the current Zhang Wang's two families.

When Zhang Wang heard that there was so much land, he was ready to buy it, and asked, "I wonder how much the two sisters want to sell?" There are too many of them, and our family doesn't have so much spare money, so it takes a lot to repair the river, so we can't stop repairing half of it. ”
