Chapter 212: Singing and Dancing

In this issue, there are Shi, Yingying white rice, boiled and eaten with me, and Enyuan is in Shuisi.

In this issue, you have come here for thousands of miles. Salt it and add it to me. Grace is in Shansi.

I think I think, I think, the mountains know the water. Add me clothes and feed me potions. Willing to govern with you.

The son and daughter-in-law left, Zhang Zhong suppressed the worries in his heart and began to govern the place, there are only about 4,000 people in a state, less is less, but no matter how little it is, it is also the people, since they are here, they have to let the people live a good life, even if the purpose of coming is not so, hey! Idle is also idle.

After opening the plan that his son left behind, Zhang Zhong read it from the beginning, and he knew the bottom of his heart, so he found someone in the family to tell him, and began to implement the plan that night.

Old man Bi and the three of them also stayed in the mansion, it's not that they didn't want to go to the front to see, but they couldn't stand the weather, their old arms and legs, together with the Zhang family, joined in the fun with the presence of doctors, if they really marched, they would die of exhaustion on the road.

When the three old men couldn't find something interesting and were ready to go to see Xiaobao and Juanjuan, they found a very serious problem, the two babies were gone, and they saw it before, and Xiaobao also told the story, why did it disappear in a blink of an eye?

After some inquiry, the three old men were stupid, and the two babies were too bold, so they ran to follow the team to help, in case something happened, the people of the Zhang and Wang families must not go crazy?

Immediately, fifty guards were sent to chase after them, but now it was almost dark, Xiaobao and Juan Juan did not come back, and the people chasing him did not believe it.

I also learned that Li Xun's people were also following two hundred, so I was not so worried, and I wanted to follow behind, as long as I didn't cross the border, there would be nothing.

That night, the people of Zhang and Wang's family did not build houses overnight, but found thick branches to light a fire in the flat place outside the city, ate oily barbecue, drank boiled rice wine, and sang and danced.

The people who helped with the work were also invited to entertain together, Zhang Zhong didn't mention the matter of wages at all, and the people had no intention of asking for money when they came to work.

Zhang Wang's two families are specially responsible for entertainment, there are many kinds of dances, and the adaptability is also very strong, there are locals who are willing to learn to teach the locals, there are locals who dance by themselves, and also dance with the learning, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Even Zhang Zhong put down the shelf at this time, pulled up Zhang Wang's and jumped around the fire, and even the seven little babies were also babbling and dancing, I don't know which style it is, jumping and sitting on the ground.

The local people used to like to be lively, and they would sing and dance when there was something to do, but in the past, except for harvesting, farming, or weddings and funerals, it was difficult to find a time when so many people were lively together like today.

There are more than 1,000 people in the two families of Zhang Wang, this is not a villager, it is the inner courtyard and the doctor, Old Man Zhang is alone, and the families of Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao add up to more than 500 people, and this is still the case of fifty guards sent out each.

Nearly two years ago, people were entertaining on the plains outside the city, and it was called a lively, so lively that the rest of the people in the city could not stay still, and they dragged their families out to join together, who was going to sing a few voices to everyone, and there were even bands to improvise accompaniment, and even people with accompanying dancers moved along with the music.

Zhang Zhong, the assassin of history, how the people didn't find out, they only knew that this new official was a good person, unlike the officials who occasionally came to check on him before, who ate and drank and took it for nothing in the local area, and didn't care about people, and didn't sing and dance with him.

The second impression is that the wine in this official's house is delicious, especially the rice wine with shredded ginger and fruit when cooked, which is sour, sweet and cold, and the powder in the barbecue is also good.

The best impression is that the people in this official's family can sing and dance, and the musical instrument is called more than one, and when he sings and dances, someone will immediately come over to cooperate, where to find such an official before, good, good official, the official's wife is also very good, and she can't stand the song, this ability has to be respected.

The people were satisfied, but the three old men looked stupid, after living for so many years, it was the first time they saw Thorn Shi and his family and the people not sleeping in the middle of the night, playing outside.

"What do you mean?" Old man Zhang didn't believe in Zhang Zhongxian's tossing, especially if he understood the Zhang family's way of doing things, it seemed that every action had a deep meaning.

Old man Bi and old man Yao also wondered, this is not like the style of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhong went to the local government to become an official, isn't there a model, that is, first find work for the people, and then pay wages, eat well when working, and find a way to lead the people to make a fortune together according to the local form, and in the process, they have to lend money, the kind with very low profits.

What's the matter today, I didn't pay my wages or mention the loan, did I feel that I was deceived here?

After drinking a cup of medicinal wine, Old Man Bi also drank half a bowl of rice wine, and beckoned a person from the inner courtyard of the Zhang family who was in charge of delivering wine next to him to him.

"What are you doing? If you don't sleep today, you can get up tomorrow and build a house? Old man Bi asked the people who came over.

"If you go back to your lordship, there is no hurry to build a house, everything will be done according to the plan, it is still far from winter, and the house will be built slowly." The person who came replied respectfully.

"What's the plan?" Old man Yao asked beside him.

"The local economic construction plan, the lord said, come once, no matter what you do, as long as you are still assassinated, you have the responsibility to let the local people live a good life, even if there is only one person, you can't ignore it, not to mention more than 4,000 people, and when the war is over and you leave, you must at least triple the income of the local people."

The person who came was still so respectful, but when he said this, he could always feel the pride in him.

Old man Bi and old man Yao glanced at each other, the two really didn't expect that the Zhang family would act like this, the logistics over there are still busy, and they will not give up here, just change an official, dare to say that the income of the people in Yizhou will be doubled, they will not believe it, but what the Zhang family said makes people have to believe it.

Waving his hand, the old man Zhang signaled that the people were busy, and did not ask for details, and he couldn't ask them, the people of Zhang Wang's two families had their own division of labor, and the people who delivered the wine would definitely not be able to contact the details of the plan.

"How good it would be if all the officials in my Tang Dynasty could be like this, Zhang Zhong is stupid, but he can't find fault with his official behavior, he is dedicated to the people, he never greeds for taxes and taxes, and he never takes bribes, it's hard to find, it's really hard to find."

Old man Zhang took a big bite of meat, and after swallowing it, he commented on Zhang Zhonglai.

Old man Bi also drank the remaining wine in the bowl and said, "That's because their family has the ability to make money, how much money can they be greedy for?" He just wants to take bribes, and someone has to dare to give it, and the money given once is not enough for him to loosen up the official road and make a lot of money from trading, who can afford it? Wouldn't it be a scolding of Zhang Zhong if it was less? ”

"Yes, but what does Zhang Zhong mean by jumping and jumping now? Xiaobao and Juan Juan left again, and it was not good to ask Zhang Zhong directly if they wanted to ask. ”

Old man Yao also admitted that the Zhang family's approach is not easy to learn, mainly because few people who are officials can make money like the Zhang family, and they can find ways to make money for the people.

"Since it's not easy to ask, just wait and see, you can always see something, write it down, and let other officials learn from it then." Old man Bi drank some wine, relaxed and comfortable, leaned back in his chair, squinted his eyes and waited for the result.

Zhang Zhong is still dancing with the local people, he has no talent in this area, he jumps up and makes him feel awkward to look at it, but fortunately, the people don't care how others dance, most people actually dance for themselves and for others to see, get together, eat and drink, and be happy.

The bonfire party was held until the next day, when the sky was bright and it was over, and the people who were tired of dancing and fell asleep in the middle of the night were arranged to send them to their respective homes, and the people who drank too much and fell asleep were sent to their respective homes.

The next morning, the Zhang and Wang families were sleeping, and in the afternoon when it was about to rain, they all got up, the cook made a large number of pastries, and the craftsmen also took local materials, made hundreds of fishing rods at random, and prepared the bait.

When the rain fell, he put up a big umbrella, Zhang Zhong took dozens of people to fish by the river, and the three of them also added an extra piece of clothing to follow the fishing.

The people who also woke up, some were busy with their own family affairs, some were holding prescriptions to ask someone how to boil, and some came out to see if the new official had anything to do here.

When he saw that the official who danced and sang with him yesterday was fishing by the river, he also came to join in the fun, so Zhang Zhong gave everyone fishing rods, and at the same time prepared pastries, and dozens of people were added at once.

Last night there was a lively scene, and everyone who was close to the village on the mountain knew about it, and they sent people to inquire about the news, and wanted to know what the new official was going to do, if it was not to fight for rent.

After understanding the details, the people in the cottage had more expectations while they were puzzled, looking forward to the new official dancing again, so they could join in, after all, the new official has many musical instruments at home, and there are many people who can dance.

When fishing, Zhang Zhong didn't care about the number of fish or the number of fish, whenever he caught one, he showed off with the locals, and whenever the locals caught one, he also went to celebrate with him, giving people the feeling that he was not a thorn history, but a very ordinary person.

After Old Man Bi caught a big fish and was flattered by Zhang Zhong once, he said puzzledly: "Is this still Zhang Zhong?" In the past, Zhang Zhong was not undeniable, polite, not chaotic in trouble, not obvious in happiness, and steady made people feel like towering mountains, is this the environment changes people? ”

On the third day, there was no rain at night, and the bonfire party continued, which was terrible, not only the people in the city came out, but also many people came out of the village, and the young patriarchs in the two villages came out, and they were lively together.

Drinking and chatting, Zhang Zhong hooked shoulders with the two patriarchs that night, swayed around, and joked with each other from time to time, and when he left at dawn, he also sent a lot of rice and salt and cloth to the people in the village, and negotiated with the two patriarchs, and went to one of the villages to play tomorrow, to eat mountain delicacies, and it was not interesting enough.

The two patriarchs also agreed, and took away a lot of wine, saying that they would go back and let everyone taste it, and they must come, bring their families, and the little baby will also be counted, otherwise they will look down on them.

The people in the village are very satisfied, this official is so good, so good that he is not like an official, just like the patriarch of a village.

The people are satisfied, the three old men Yao are not satisfied, Zhang Zhong is such an official, isn't it to smear the face of the court, they can't help it anymore and have to find Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong received the three old men in the tent, the charcoal stove was burned, a teapot was seated on it, a set of tea sets were set up, the West Lake Longjing was also put aside, and melon seeds and dried fruits were also surrounded by melon seeds.

As soon as the three old men saw this posture, they knew that Zhang Zhong was going to invite himself and others to drink kung fu tea, thinking of Zhang Zhong's approach yesterday and this morning, which formed a strong contrast with the present, which made it difficult for people to adapt for a while.

After watching Zhang Zhong boiling cups, picking up tea, washing tea, and flushing water there, the three old men each took a sip and poured out the residual tea, and then the waiting old man Bi spoke.

"Yongcheng, Xiaobao and Juan Juan ran so far, it's better to let them come back early, go out to see the excitement, and you can't delay your studies."

Old man Bi is not good to come up and question, he is not qualified to question, he can only talk in circles, starting with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, saying that it is delaying his studies, even he doesn't believe it, there is nothing to teach, it needs to be memorized, two people with high IQ have long taken advantage of the understanding ability of adults, and the children's memory has been memorized.

Now Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are with Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao, more to discuss, or to learn the way of thinking of the two old men next to each other.

As soon as Zhang Zhong heard the old man Bi talk about his son and daughter-in-law, his eyes flickered twice, if he was not distressed as a father, no one would feel distressed, if all the people in the two families, except for Xiaobao and Juan Juan, there are still people who can do this thing, even if it is only half of the ability of the son and daughter-in-law, there is no need to let the two babies out.

sighed and said: "Other people's babies are still young at this age, but Xiaobao and Juan Juan are older, and they can go out to play for a few days if they want to, and they can't control it." ”

"Yongcheng don't be like this, Xiaobao and Juan Juan I look good, it's worry-free, before leaving, I told me about the people of Yizhou, but unfortunately I didn't have time to ask again after saying half of it, I don't know if Yongcheng knows what the two babies think?"

Old man Bi took the third cup of tea poured by Zhang Zhong and asked Zhang Zhong casually.

Zhang Zhong missed his son even more at this time, and the plan was not only written about how to carry out economic construction, but also about the reactions of the three old men.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhong poured out the small cup of tea that had been held in his hand and poured it again for each of the three old men, and did not need to continue to go around the old man, and said happily:

"Master Bi came to Xingshi to ask about the sin? Say that I shouldn't have disregarded my official status and played with the people like this? ”

As soon as the words were picked out, the three old men really didn't know what to do, saying yes or not was not good, and they couldn't keep quiet, or Old Man Zhang was more straightforward, and replied: "There is such an idea, not to ask about the crime, but to ask what the meaning is, the Zhang family has always been difficult to figure out, learn, right, learn." ”

"Eh~! In fact, I don't want to, like the local people and Shuzhou, wouldn't it be better to recruit workers directly and pay them, a routine can be used back and forth, but that's absolutely not good, just like the godson I recognized in Luzhou, am I missing a son? If you don't know the mountain people, you won't believe you.

The same is true for the people here, one by one, the villagers do not listen to the propaganda, unless I send troops to suppress it, otherwise what was before, what I will be after I leave, it is really necessary to use force to solve it, that can only mean that I have failed, and the incompetence of the officials, the people will not cooperate. ”

Zhang Zhong began to complain about his bitterness, his words were not wrong at all, it was all the truth, if he didn't want to be in his son's plan, if he didn't count the three old men, it would be more perfect.

How did the three old men know that when Zhang Xiaobao was leaving, he dug a pit for them and waited for them to jump in, listening to Zhang Zhong's words, looking at Zhang Zhong's helpless expression, and feeling the same way, Yizhou is not easy to govern.

It takes a lot of effort to get together the tribute paid every year, and it is not easy to ask grandpa to sue ***, if you don't use some other means, you expect the local people to cooperate.

Old man Zhang didn't pay too much attention to it, drank the cold tea, clicked his mouth twice, and said, "What do you think of?" ”

Old man Bi and old man Yao also listened attentively, wanting to see what kind of means the Zhang family could come up with in the face of such a situation, which was different from before, when Luzhou, the mountain people cooperated, one was that Zhang Zhong did benefit the mountain people, and he also recognized a son, and the other was the local disaster, and now Yizhou has not been affected, and he can't find a way to let the family suffer.

Zhang Zhong stopped speaking this time, as if he was pondering, but he didn't forget to pour tea for the three old men in his hands, and it wasn't until the seventh brew of tea that he spoke:

"My method is also simple, that is, since I can't use my status as an official to make the people trust, then become buddies with the people, invite them to play now, go to their village tomorrow to play, give things to each other, don't let them feel that they owe you, and don't let them feel that you owe them.

After a while, we are familiar with each other, and then use the identity of brothers to discuss ways to make a fortune with them, so that they will not think that you are lying to them, to be honest, I even have a rooster and yellow paper ready, and I have someone specially brought a scalpel, ready to drink blood and marry them.

I always feel that the face of being an official is not to see how majestic you are as an official, but to see if you can let the people of the land you govern treat you sincerely, and whether you can make them live a good life, even if I am demoted now, I have no official position at all, and when I return to Sanshui County, will I lose face?

was assigned to Luzhou as a knife and pen officer, and I lost face? Don't say it's a little face, I dare to take my life into it, and I will benefit the life and death of the country, so I can't avoid it because of misfortune and fortune. ”

Zhang Zhong said what his son and daughter-in-law had told him at the beginning, and felt that he had suddenly become noble.

The three old men were shocked, they didn't expect Zhang Zhong to say such heroic words, and at the same time they had to admit that Zhang Zhong was right, especially Old Man Bi, who saw with his own eyes the scene of Zhang Zhong sending off thousands of people when he left office in Huayuan County, and he knew how the Luzhou Wanmin Table came out.

Not to mention that Zhang Zhong still has an official position, and the two families of Zhang Wang still have business, even if they have nothing, as long as people are still alive, when they come to such a place, a greeting is also a peace between all the people.

So, is it wrong not to do so? Such a thought suddenly appeared in Old Man Bi's heart.

Zhang Zhong continued to pour tea, this is already the ninth brew, the tea is still so strong, Old Man Yao was the first to react, looked at the tea in the cup and asked, "What's the matter with your tea?" I can't drink the West Lake Longjing after eight bubbles, you can still soak it. ”

"It's not that the tea for Yao Da is not good, it's that the new roasted tea process has been adopted recently, and the tea picked is really good, so that it can be brewed two more times, and it will be light if it is brewed again, just two more times, please."

Zhang Zhong is modest in his mouth, but he is very complacent in his heart, of course, the good things that his son and daughter-in-law have to keep for their own families, you drink it well, and it is only seven bubbles in the palace, and I dare not send it well, otherwise how to explain if the year is not good and the tea is not good?

Old man Zhang doesn't care about how many bubbles of tea he drinks, he thinks that it is thick, and a lot of *** tea is better than the current Longjing, and a hundred bubbles have nothing to do with him, but Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao understand that not to mention two more bubbles, even one more bubble will increase the price several times.

This method of drinking tea is no longer to eliminate food accumulation, if you really want to consume how good it is to drink black tea, why drink green tea, drinking is a kind of identity, and a little better will be superior.

Old man Bi looked at the small group of West Lake Longjing in the tea box next to him, and finally couldn't help but say: "The new process is good, go back and try it." ”

Zhang Zhong took out the three boxes that had been prepared, there was this link on the plan, and even who proposed it was specified, and it was really not bad, where was the plan left by his son, it was clearly a life-saving tip, and it was expected to come first.

"Even if Master Bi doesn't say it, he will let people send new tea to see how the new process is, does Lord Bi like outdoor sports?"

Zhang Zhong said and pushed the three boxes in front of the three old men.

Old man Zhang was the happiest, held the box in his arms, and was about to turn around to send it to the old man Zhang Jiuling, and asked, "What kind of sports is outdoor sports?" ”

"It's sports outside the house, such as horseback riding, archery, alpine skiing, this alpine skiing is good for use here, there is snow on the mountain now, and in winter it is even more amazing, slide down from the top with skis, feel the cold of freezing, the blood in your heart, and the heroism of soaring."

Zhang Zhong used the advertising words written by his son very awkwardly.

After seeing the three old men nodding their heads to show that they understood, Zhang Zhong continued: "Even if it is done according to the method of tourism, ordinary people are not willing to come, there must be something special, that is, alpine skiing, rather than it is inconvenient to transport things out, it is better to bring people in."

Experience alpine skiing, then find a river with relatively fast water for rafting, feel the singing and dancing of the local people, and then write a few fairy tale stories to print into a book, build a fairy tale world here, the local people will make money, and at the same time promote communication with outsiders.

In the name of the three of them, the officials or rich children of Zhaojian came to ski and write poems, and the first time they came to ***, and there were gifts to give each other. ”

Zhang Zhong is not afraid that the three of them will not agree, just now he made everything clear, and now if anyone does not agree, it is disregarding the people's livelihood.

Sure enough, the three of them nodded happily and agreed, they were willing to do something, but Old Man Bi felt that something was wrong, especially this tea, why was it prepared so appropriately, as if he had been fooled?
