Chapter 143: Thousands of Favors in One

In the face of great interests,.

They really couldn't think of any bad consequences of renting out the land, so they found Cao and Rui, who were once again following the three of them, who had done the hard work, and the three of them were the ones in charge of things.

Zhang Zhong gave the matter of renting land a joint production name, which became a gimmick led by the state government to encourage the local people to vigorously develop agriculture.

Cao and Rui thought that Zhang Zhong believed in them, which was the result of their efforts through two farming sessions.

signed documents with several surrounding states in a row, and as the people of the Ning family came to them, the three of them didn't think much about it at all, and immediately used their power to rent 150,000 mu of land in Qinzhou.

They still owe money to the Ning family, even if they know that the land is not good, it doesn't matter, the Zhang family said at the beginning, any land is fine.

The money for road construction was also given, and they didn't care how much the Ning family could be greedy for ink from it.

Of the 150,000 acres of land, there is not a single good one, either the worst inferior field or saline-alkali land.

The chamber of commerce in Luzhou acted quickly, as soon as the land was rented, it sent people to plant cotton, and there was a lot of cotton on good land, but the land could still produce cotton, even if it was saline-alkali land for cotton, it could also be planted, it was nothing more than the amount of yield.

The Ning family is waiting for such an opportunity.

The note they signed with the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce said that it was a low-grade field, but it was a medium-class field planned in the account books of the state.

Seeing that the people of the Chamber of Commerce used to plant cotton, they couldn't help but do it immediately after they had not received the news that their own industry in Heyin County had been attacked.

An excerpt of the impeachment of Zhang Zhong was written and sent to the official post.

The reason is very simple, no matter how good the cotton clothes made by the white stacks are and how practical the threads spun are, after all, they all occupy the field of grain planting.

Ning Zhong specially set up a banquet for this.

Without the help of pigeons, they did not know that the family's properties in various parts of the Tang Dynasty were under further attack.

In order to let the people who want to deal with the Zhang family know, Zhang Xiaobao will deal with whoever he should deal with directly, instead of using the Zhang family's dealer as a breakthrough, this time he is determined to lose money, even if it is a few times the loss, he will completely collapse the Ning family.

Ten days after the Ning family's excerpts were sent, the cotton planters had already asked the local people to plant the cotton around the fields rented in various places.

The biggest advantage here is that you don't have to think too much about the season, as long as it is a seed, it is basically okay at any time, and the yield may be affected, but it will never be lost.

It would be better if it was replaced by Hainan Island, which has the ability to shorten the time for crops to mature, and you will have no problem planting ten crops a year.

After the cotton that was used as a fence was planted, the people of the Chamber of Commerce no longer continued to grow cotton, but planted soybeans in the fenced area in the middle.

The rented land is not good, but after all, it is also land, even if there is still a lot of saline-alkali land.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't expect to have a big production in the first few years, let alone make money, and the first two or three years were actually just constantly filling in money.

Old man Zhang and Old Man Bi, who had been worried about the Zhang family, were finally relieved after knowing that soybeans were planted in it.

"I see, I actually planted soybeans, no wonder I dare to rent saline-alkali land, as long as it is not so serious, soybeans will not die if they are planted, it seems that all this is to prepare for dealing with the Ning family, the Ning family is estimated to have written an impeachment fold, and when the above sends someone down to investigate, the Ning family will be unlucky."

Old man Zhang knows the role of soybeans as a kind of grain, and many people open up their own land, and when the land is not good, they can plant soybeans casually, which is better than planting wheat or rice, and they don't have to bother to care.

"Yes, the Ning family is not qualified to impeach others casually, now everyone knows that the Ning family has always looked at Zhang Zhong unpleasantly, and it is estimated that Ning Zhongze's assassination history can no longer be done, and the people sent by the imperial court to check it will go to the place, that is, when the tax is paid in the second half of the year.

How much tax can Luzhou pay this year? How much tribute can I pay? How much can Qinzhou pay? Comparing the two sides, Mo said that Zhang Zhong did not make a mistake, but he did, the court should treat it as not seeing, there is no mistake, the county commander has to work for at least three years, and Zhang Zhong has only been here for more than a year, less than two years.

Luzhou is no longer than usual, and has begun to make a lot of money, how many people want to come to Luzhou, the position of six judges, a position of assassination and a position of recording the army, no matter who wants to get it, they have to wait for Zhang Zhong to leave, in order to let Zhang Zhong give up his position quickly, how many people do you say are willing to help Zhang Zhong deal with Ning Zhongze? ”

Old man Bi knew the matter on ***, and the Zhang family knew that it would be impossible to work for three years no matter what, so he kept investing to consolidate the position of the Chamber of Commerce, and before leaving, he solved the Ning family easily.

Families without official positions can only rely on buying and selling to wait for the opportunity to make a comeback, but unfortunately, the business will also be affected by the Zhang family.

If it was just the two deals between the Zhang family's water and clouds and the sea clouds here to deal with, the Zhang family might not be able to beat the Ning family, but the Zhang family united with other big businessmen to gather their strength to attack one person, plus the benefits of the sand table game distributed to various places, plus the imperial court's attention to the Zhang family.

The time, location, and harmony are all occupied by the Zhang family, not to mention that it is a mere Ning family, even the families in the capital cannot compete alone.

Thinking about this, Old Man Bi sighed with emotion, "The Ning family, I've been in a corner of Lingnan for a long time, do you really think that no one can deal with them?" Compared with their stability, the Zhang family has been growing up in calculations with others since Zhuangzi, one is safe and one is dangerous, and the judgment is made. ”

"That's the case, the most commendable thing is that when the Zhang family dealt with others, they never stopped improving the lives of the local people, doing practical things while calculating people, never writing excerpts about how they were wronged, and never urging the imperial court to distribute ordnance and disaster relief food.

Carry everything by yourself, and you can also send a lot of benefits to the imperial court, no matter who such a person is replaced, it is comfortable to use, but I don't understand, the Zhang family rented land in another state this time, and the rent was repaid for 50 years, and the total beans were also lost every year, just to deal with the Ning family? ”

When Old Man Zhang echoed Old Man Bi, he still had even greater doubts in his heart.

Old man Bi also couldn't understand how the Zhang family was planning, if he wanted to change to someone else, he would also think that he would lose money every year, but the Zhang family, it seems impossible, it is not once or twice that the Zhang family has learned the ability to make money, I have seen the Zhang family's planning before, and the money of each transaction is incomprehensible, just when others thought they would lose money, the transaction ended up making a lot of money.

While Old Man Bi and Old Man Zhang were struggling to figure out how to make money, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were busy designing rooms for their younger brothers and sisters.

Now the house where the younger brothers and sisters live is a bit big, and the space is empty, so they always have to send more maids to accompany them, especially at night, and the candles can't be extinguished, otherwise the baby who wakes up will have to take a longer time to coax when he cries.

The cribs were all leaning against the corners, and there were a circle of rag dolls around them.

Wang Juan deliberately used other people's children to do an experiment, opened up the two rooms, put a crib in the middle position, and did not light candles at night, but the child woke up in the middle of the night and cried for half an hour, until he was held in his mother's arms and fed before he fell asleep peacefully.

After changing several children in a row, it was the same result, Wang Juan finally believed Zhang Xiaobao's words, what children are most afraid of is darkness and loneliness.

Of course, his younger brothers and sisters can't be treated like this, when they get into the corner, the room is always lit, and there are maids guarding the side, and when they wake up, even if they cry, they only cry a few times.

Sometimes I don't even cry, I look curiously with my eyes wide open, I even giggle, I wrap myself in a cotton blanket, and I look very peaceful when I fall asleep.

"It's amazing." When Wang Juan was drawing on paper, he thought of the experiment and said a word to Zhang Xiaobao.

"What is magical, human nature, not to mention children, that is, to change to adults, often living alone on the bed in an empty room, the psychological quality is not too hard and can't bear it, your slope is a little bigger."

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have their own division of labor.

The place designed by Wang Juan for her younger siblings to exercise is not like the one she and Zhang Xiaobao used when they were more than ten months old, but a slope, and when the woolen blanket is laid on it, it is a good exercise method for the younger siblings to climb up or bone down from above.

Zhang Xiaobao tried his best to make an infinite place to play in a limited space, using wooden boards to build a low compartment at a height of one meter, a total of three floors, each floor has at least four gentle slopes that can go up and down, so that younger brothers and sisters can climb up and down.

There are multiple connected forks in each floor, just like the passage that was piled up with straw in front of Zhuangzi, but this time there is no passage, it is a small space, and toys that will not hurt the younger siblings are placed in each space.

When the time comes, let them climb up and down the ground to play, and put bells at the entrance of each upper and lower level, which will ring when touched, and cultivate a sense of orientation for younger siblings.

In many places, doors can be opened, and they are blocked by glass, which is transparent, and it can also make it easy for people to clean up the big *** of their younger siblings inside.

If it weren't for their own brothers and sisters, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan wouldn't have bothered to do this, and such a house would have to be sent to the ship at that time.

Don't look at the small place, but the production is very refined, only this one for younger brothers and sisters to play in the house, the cost is not less than a thousand, the carpet laid inside is all the Western Regions cashmere carpet, but also to ensure humidity, glass and cotton toys are not money, and there are all kinds of fish glue made of things that can be used to bite the same.

The world is so big, only Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's younger brothers and sisters can enjoy, and even the babies in the palace don't expect to have such a good thing that integrates fun and exercise.

The four little ones didn't know that they had been loved by thousands of people since they were not born.

Zhang Xiaobao is now worried about how to make a place in the house that can be swayed back and forth, to be able to swing back and forth up and down, left and right back and forth in a small way, but the shaking is simple, but no matter how it shakes, there will be a situation in the end, that is, a distance from the connected place.

It's easy to get your younger siblings caught when you're separated.

Wang Juan designed the general framework here, and the place of the ocean ball was also drawn separately, and turned his head to see Zhang Xiaobao with his chin in worry.

When I leaned over and saw that it was a swinging place, I thought for a while and said, "Just hang the place where you want to shake, an inch above the ground, block it with a cloth, block it loosely, and the cloth will not break when it shakes, make them the same slope, and connect it with a loose cloth."

They can climb up along the cloth, and you do this as a cradle? It's really good, add a few low pillows on it, and they will sleep directly when they are tired of playing. ”

"When it is a cradle, I am afraid that they will get seasick, so I will make it first while there is still some time, so that they can get used to this shaking process when they play, it's almost, hurry up and find someone to do it."

Zhang Xiaobao drew a trampoline next to it, made the space on it larger, and used animal tendons to weave.

With Zhang Xiaobao's order, the craftsmen took out all their skills and used the best mahogany as the base, and four days later, a house with a height of one zhang and two zhang, a width of three zhang, and a length of four zhang was made.

From the outside, except for the glass place, the rest of the place is relatively simple, but if an adult can get into it, you will know how gorgeous it is.

All places in it have been protected, except for the velvet is satin, and the places that are divided into pieces have a separate function, and if you take out a piece of something to sell, you will have to pay dozens of dollars.

Zhang Wang's was stunned when he saw the house, didn't Xiaobao and Juan Juan say to make a small house called space for their younger brothers and sisters?

Where is it small? It's bigger than the average house, it's just a layer, and there's even a small swimming pool.

"Husband, isn't it too big?"

Zhang Wang pulled Zhang Zhong to look at the house together.

"It's not big to separate the layers." Zhang Zhong measured it with his hand.

"Husband, this house is more than 1,000 yuan for the money we used to buy cashmere carpets, not counting our own glass, mirrors, and all kinds of gadgets, too used to it, right?"

Zhang Wang's slightly calculated the price at which glass, mirrors and other things should be sold, and came up with an approximate figure, 10,000 guan can be bought, if you don't count the design fee that Xiaobao and Juan said, if you sell 10,000 guan, the family or the palace will definitely not feel expensive.

If you add in the most difficult design fee, it is estimated that there is no fifteen thousand times without even thinking about it.

The four little ones were specially made a delivery room before they were born, and they made a house after they were born, and they were only three months old, and the money spent on them was more than 30,000 yuan, and the emperor's son never spent so much money when he was three months old, right?

And that's not even counting the various precious medicines prepared for them, as well as the full-time doctors who are on call at twelve o'clock, the little clothes made individually, the cows that are raised separately, and other auxiliary things.

According to the calculation method of the son and daughter-in-law, the manpower used in a certain aspect is the same as the value that this manpower can create outside, so how much is the value of eight five-star level maids? They can be around the little ones all day long, and in terms of value creation, it has to increase a lot.

Zhang Zhong narrowed his eyes and nodded, and said: "I can rest assured, it shows that Xiaobao and Juan Juan are good to their younger brothers and sisters, and they are willing to use tens of thousands of yuan to make things for their younger brothers and sisters today, and they will not care about giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to their younger brothers and sisters in the future, so they don't have to fight for family property." ”

"That's it, but I'm afraid that when the four babies don't wait for the age to fight for the family property, Xiaobao and Juan Juan will already spend hundreds of thousands of yuan for them, if the four babies are uncomfortable on the boat, I guess Xiaobao and Juan Juan will change a big boat for them, and there is nothing that Xiaobao and Juan Juan can't do."

Zhang Wang's family is really worried about money, she never thought that her son and daughter-in-law would build such a small space house for her younger brothers and sisters, it turns out that the small space refers to the space inside, not the overall space outside.

Zhang Zhongke doesn't care how much it costs, as long as Xiaobao and Juan Juan care about their younger brothers and sisters, he comforted his wife, "The cost is not high, you don't know the glass, burn some stones and burn it, what if you change the ship?" Whose eldest son and eldest daughter can treat their younger siblings like this? My family's will do.

Isn't it just money, when the rented land is raised, you can make more money, who has the kind of calculation that our Xiaobao and Juan Juan? What about saline-alkali land? If the serious area is washed with water twice, the beans will be planted in the less serious place, and the beans will not be harvested when the time comes, and the beans will be directly rotten in the ground to raise the ground.

Raise it for two or three years, and the bad land will almost become better, plus all kinds of fertilizers, at that time, the important role of Bai Diezi will be understood by the imperial court, and no matter how much it is planted, no one will say, such a long-term plan, can ordinary people think of it? ”

Zhang Zhong looked very proud when he said this, just when others thought that the Chamber of Commerce was losing money, he thought the same at first, and then he couldn't help it, and called his son and daughter-in-law to his side to ask, only then did he know the long-term plans of the two people, as for whether there were other plans in the future, the son didn't say, he couldn't ask, and he thought it wouldn't be bad.

While the two of them were talking, the craftsman came over with something again, a wheel made of stainless steel, covered with a thick layer of fish glue mixed with hemp and bark, which was called a fiber thing, and a half-inch thick iron plate was fixed together.

Zhang Zhong and Zhang Wang knew that this was something used to absorb shocks, and it was very difficult to make, mainly because that kind of iron was difficult to appear, and this little thing alone would cost hundreds of times.

On the top of the shaft of the wheel, there is also a thing that blows wind between the water clouds, and the front part is reserved for the position of the horse.

Needless to say, it is also known that later in this house can be moved around.

In addition to the small stainless steel wheels that can be pushed by a person, there are also large wheels with strips.

The craftsmen said hello to Zhang Zhong and his wife and ran to the side of the house to get busy, and when they were decorating the wheels, they also smeared another kind of gum in the cracks of the house, and put the blown pig bubbles in the top place alone, and wrapped a layer of skin on the outside.

The folds were nailed to the four eaves of the house, and the steel bars with the same small wheels were fastened to the folds along the pattern of the house.

"What are you doing here?" Zhang Zhong couldn't think of the role of various things.

"Back to the master's words, the little boy and the little lady are worried that if the house falls down and the little lady inside will be damaged, the little boy and the little lady will use folds to fix the steel bar, as long as the house falls, the steel bar will be stretched open, and the house will be erected.

The pig blowing bubble above is afraid that the house will fall into the water, and it is sealed with tree gum, so that even if it falls in, there is no need to worry about water leakage, and the wheel is naturally easy to move. ”

The head of the craftsman in the inner courtyard smiled and introduced various functions, and he was actually very envious of the little boy and the little lady, who had a good life and had a good family and a house to play.

Zhang Zhong nodded, and also felt that Xiaobao and Juan Juan had done a good job, and took into account all the things that could be considered, but he thought of another thing and asked, "Then if the qi in it is all gone, won't the babies suffocate to death?" ”

"Huh? Running out? Master, how long will it take to use it? Such a big house, if it is really gone, if the little boy and the little lady are suffocated to death, the descendants of the Zhang and Wang families will not have to live, and the people of the strong seedling team should commit suicide, and the four little babies will not be able to suffocate to death after staying in it for ten days, and they will not be rescued, so they will starve to death first. ”

The head of the craftsman actually thought about such a thing, and asked the little boy and the little lady, but the little boy said at the time, is there no one to take care of my younger brothers and sisters? Got into the water while driving your house? Does it take half a month for rescue? Don't live the people of the Zhang Wang family, the first damn one is the guard.

"Yes, with the ability to protect the Miao Zero team, if you can't save people, then the existence of the Zhang and Wang families is meaningless."

Zhang Zhong's face flushed, he felt that it was too stupid to ask, how could that kind of thing happen, and besides, this house made of wood, there was no heavy stuff in it, it was well sealed, and it was floating on the water when it fell into the water, and it could be used as a boat, how could there be an accident.

After answering this question, the head of the craftsman asked him to bring a cross-shaped steel shelf, and compared it to it, as if he wanted to put it inside.

This time, without waiting for Zhang Zhong to ask, he said directly: "Master, this is to be put in the house, and when the time comes, a strong line will be used to pull out the net, and the walls inside will be thickened with cotton, and there will be a separate net connected to the shelf in each room, and no matter which end of this shelf hits the ground first, it will not break."

The little boy and the little lady said that even if the shelf made fell from a height of twenty zhang, it had to be kept intact, and no matter which room the little boy and the little lady played, they would not be thrown to death.

The main structure of the house will fall apart when it is impacted, and the little boy and the little lady will be nothing even if they don't hit it a few times, and after the protective cotton pad is enough, it will be hung on the net by the shelf. ”
