Chapter Thirty-Eight: Carrying Kindness All the Way

Half an hour later,.

"My lord, they said that there was a trading house behind them, and they all came from other places to make a living, and as for what kind of trading house it was, he didn't know, and that trading house would send different people to contact them.

At first, they were given some money so that they could have enough to eat, and then they were told to stop people on the creek themselves, and when there were more of them, they began to grab the goods, which would be carried away by boat, and give them a little less than the value of the goods.

Those people said that when there were more people in the future, they wouldn't have to do this kind of thing, and they would find good things to do, and they could earn at least 200 wen a day. ”

The guard said the words of the interrogation just now to Zhang Zhong.

I don't know what the guards did just now, the head of the bandit was pale, but he couldn't see any injuries on his body, Zhang Zhong couldn't think of which person from the firm was helping behind him, since it hadn't been revealed yet, then wait a little longer, and solve the matter in front of him first.

"Did you tell me where they lived? Go directly to arrest people, the river can't be chaotic here, and expect more businessmen to come and go, so they will be detained at the dock first, and when others are caught, they will be sent to the yamen of Huayuan County together. ”

Zhang Zhong instructed the officials of Sanshui County, and the officials of Sanshui County were no different from the officials of Huayuan County to him, and they were even better to use.

The officials of Sanshui County also think so, they feel that they are the officials of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family is not only not angry when they have something to call them, but they are very happy, the officials who patrol in the water are not only patrolling, but also occasionally helping to transport the goods, and the money they get does not have to be given to others, just divide the officials.

After arranging the arrest of people, Zhang Zhong found the person who was waiting at the dock and was robbed of the goods, the ship was fine, only the goods were robbed.

This person also joined forces with others to get two fleets, set off from above, and prepared to sell them in the capital, and after being robbed of the goods, everyone ran to the dock and told the people on the dock about the matter, and the people at the dock hurriedly passed the news to the county.

Zhang Zhong's arrival made them feel a little flattered, but they didn't expect the county magistrate to come over in person, and respectfully told Zhang Zhong about how they were robbed that day and how many things they lost, and they didn't expect the county magistrate of Huayuan County to compensate, just to let the county magistrate catch people, and how many things can be recovered are as many things.

Zhang Zhong knew that those things had been transported away, and if he wanted to check it according to this line, it was impossible to gain anything, and no one knew where the ship carrying the goods had gone, not to mention that many ships probably looked similar, and the goods transported to the capital were all kinds of things every day.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zhong said to these merchants: "The goods are gone, the approximate price is four hundred and twenty yuan, right?" This money came out of the yamen of Huayuan County, and in the future, I can rest assured that I will walk here, as long as I encounter the same thing, the goods will all be managed by Huayuan County, after all, there is an accident in Huayuan County. ”

"Your Excellency, you are such a good adult." A businessman heard Zhang Zhong's words and knelt there and shouted.

"It doesn't have to be like this, just keep trading." Zhang Zhong has his own plans, there are more than 200 of these bandits, they can just be used to work, and they don't have to pay for their work, as long as they don't starve to death, they can eat whatever they want, and the wild vegetables are enough.

It's easy for the officials to catch some bandits who don't have weapons in their hands, he just needs to wait at the docks.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan received a large sum of money today, 80,000 yuan, including silver, copper coins, and some silks.

Those who were selected from the silk were divided according to the population of Yushu Village, regardless of size, one person made clothes for ten feet of cloth, three hundred and twenty-two people, and eighty-one and a half horses were needed, and eighty-one horses were enough.

The silk used as money is not all so accurate, and some even have worn and moth-eaten places, picked and picked in it, selected and selected, and finally found out that eighty-one horses are relatively good, and the rest are not good, and they are used when Huayuan County pays taxes.

In order to maintain the monetary value of the silk, the imperial court could let the greatly damaged silk continue to have the purchasing power of the same value, which was equivalent to 200 yuan.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are not ready to keep it, usually buy things at home, and use silk if they can, they are all bulk transactions, exchanged by others, and put them in the warehouse to occupy space, not to mention, they always have to worry about rotting, or being eaten by insects.

The two of them cleaned up, called the people in the family, and drove towards Elm Village.

Half a day later, the team of two people arrived at the outside of Yushu Village, sure enough, there were a lot of elm trees, because it rained two days ago, some coal was washed on the road here, and the black and yellow colors were mixed together, which made people look uncomfortable when it was very muddy.

"If there is a big fire here, will it explode?" Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan got out of the car, looked at the mud and coal sticking to their feet, and thought that when it was hot, the wind blew these coal dust floating in the air, and they came to light sparks or something, and with a direct bang, the whole village was gone.

"It's impossible, the coal yards that are going to explode so much have already blown up into the sky one by one, and the rest of the road is to go forward, and you can reach it in a corner." Wang Juan wanted to take a good look, pulled Zhang Xiaobao, and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Turning the small play in front of me, I saw from a distance that there were many people working, and the little baby was also running around, and when I got a little closer, I finally saw clearly, the people of Yushu Village were building roads there, and they were pushing a cart of sand and gravel from somewhere in the village.

When they arrived here, they were piled up on the road, and several people carried shovels and spread them out at once, and filled the gaps with some sand, and some people found stones and pressed them there repeatedly.

The little baby is responsible for bringing water to the adults, sending washed hand towels to wipe sweat, and the slightly larger ones are swept behind with a broom tied with bamboo leaves.

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's car also turned a corner, the people in the village finally found out that in the past few days, someone would rush over every day to deliver meat to them, and the meat was not easy to preserve, so they could only send it every day.

As soon as the old man of the village saw the car, he greeted a few young men and greeted him, and when he got closer, he saw that there were two little babies, and none of the people who were driving the car had ever seen it, and he was puzzled.

"It's the Zhang family, then look at the rice seedlings on the car, it's almost the same as the Zhang family's meat delivery, but there is one more, and the painting is different." A person with sharp eyes saw the rice seedling sign belonging to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan on the car, and said to the people around him.

A few people were relieved at this time, it was good that it was the Zhang family, and the old man took two steps forward with a stick and asked, "Deliver meat?" ”

"It's not about meat, this time it's a cloth, making clothes for the people in the village, and it's time to work, making two sets of clothes." Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't say anything, and a person next to them said to the old man.

"Work? Okay, do a good job, just wait for you to call, I can't eat your things for nothing. As soon as the old man heard that he could have work to do, he spoke happily, and beckoned to the people behind him, who stepped forward and began to help them get things down.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also walked into the village hand in hand, and other people helped to move things together, and a few people from the village ran over.

The old man of the village was looking at the two little babies walking such a road, and asked the Zhang family who spoke just now, "Who are these two?" ”

"This is the little son of our Zhang family, this is the little lady of the Wang family, come and play for a while this time." The people of the Zhang family introduced the old man.

"Eh, you can't go, go find a few people, bring the shelf that is going to carry the county commander, and carry the two little ancestors."

The old man was taken aback, the two little babies who came were so identious, where would they be lazy and beckon someone to pick up something.

"No, no, we can go on our own." Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand there.

"That's not possible, you have to carry it all the way, in case you bump into it, you can't explain it, and the people in the village can't help it." The old man didn't give in at all, he said at the beginning, as long as the county magistrate came, he would carry it all the way, and he wouldn't let his feet touch the ground, and the child would have to be like this when he came.

The old man was in front of him, and it was impossible for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to play the game of eagle catching chickens with the old man, so they had to stand there, and after a while, four young men came who looked sturdy, including the Tian Gouzi, the four people had an arm-thick wood on their shoulders, two in front and two behind, and the wood in the middle was a big chair with a shed.

"Put it here, go back to one more person, tell the cook in the village, take out the dried meat we made in the first two days to cook, and take out everything that can be eaten, and the chicken of the big cat's house is killed."

The old man tapped his stick on the ground and beckoned to a man carrying a cloth to pass by.

The chair was placed half a foot high from the ground, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan went up, just side by side to sit down, and the four of them got up steadily at the same time and lifted Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan up.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan pretended to be children, they couldn't say too much what adults should say, they didn't say a word, looked around, and let people carry them all the way to the village, and when they arrived at the place where the road was repaired, the villagers stopped what they were doing and looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan with respectful eyes.

"Everyone continues to work, and they eat together at dinner, you kid come here, call a few people, and wait to listen to the orders."

The old man instructed there to let a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child come over and wait to serve Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

The people of the Zhang family knew what the little boy and the little lady were doing this time, and said to the old man: "Where is the coal place, the little boy and the little lady want to go and see what is fresh." ”
