"Xiaobao, come over here and help me decorate something." Wang Juan on the mountain seemed to have found something good, beckoned Zhang Xiaobao, and waited for Zhang Xiaobao to go over and take a look, it turned out to be some mountain red, smaller than Shancha, and they were also sour.

"Come, put these in your pocket, I'll pick them again, so much, I drool when I look at them." Wang Juan struggled to reach down a branch from the tree, grabbed it with his hands, and relied on the weight of his body to prevent the branch from bouncing back, and stuffed it into Zhang Xiaobao's clothes pocket while pulling it down.

The two people who followed the protection immediately came over to help, and after a while, Zhang Xiaobao's clothes pockets and pants pockets were all full, and the two people also used their clothes to pocket some.

"Okay, the harvest is good, wait over there, tell them to pick some by the way and send them home when they come back, and we'll give them something else." Wang Juan clapped his hands and walked to the front again.

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the bulging bags on his body, and then looked at Wang Juan's deflatedness, walked two steps quickly, caught up with Wang Juan and said: "Juan Juan, you like to eat this, eat while walking, come, I'll give you some." ”

"No, go back and eat together, I don't eat alone, Xiaobao, don't pull me, you're a man, you have to do more." Wang Juan covered his pocket with his hand, did not let Zhang Xiaobao pull it away, broke free from Zhang Xiaobao's pull, and ran to the front with a smile.

"You run, I'll eat it myself, I'll be hungry for you." Zhang Xiaobao said while chasing after him, and threw a few mountain reds into his mouth, and his sour face was about to wrinkle together.

The people who followed behind to protect each other looked at each other, as if it was the first time to see the two little ancestors so happy, and they also showed a happy look and quickened their pace.

After walking for an hour, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan arrived at the construction site, where hundreds of villagers were busy, digging a big pit in the middle of the land surrounded by mountains that did not belong to their village, and piling up the excavated soil to the two low places, which was ready to be made into a dam.

The person who was in charge of cooking for them was collecting firewood, and from time to time he was picking up some edible wild fruits, or rubbing them with his sleeves, and putting them in his mouth to take a bite.

"Yes, just do it, when the time comes, it is not our land in name, but in fact it is used by us, put some fish, shrimp and crabs in it, and don't need to take care of it, when the time comes, there is as much as there is left, the output in the mountains is small, but it tastes good."

Zhang Xiaobao used a slingshot to knock down two wild fruits, one for each of Wang Juan, the same is not washed, rubbed and eaten, the ripe place is soft, a bite on, the juice in it flows down the corner of the mouth, while eating and talking about the situation here.

"Well, it's better to have a few more people who come over to occupy the land, let's clean up the contents and collect their tolls then."

Wang Juan licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue and happily agreed.

"Little boy, little lady, work here, the gray is big, it's better to go over there, there is a place where there is a small pond formed by a spring, better than this side."

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were watching here, a person from the inner courtyard who was in charge of this side of the matter came over and pointed to the mountain next to him and persuaded them.

"Really? Great, let's go, Xiaobao, go over and see if it's mineral water, it's better to be warm, so let's come over and soak in winter. ”

Wang Juan became interested when he heard it, and pulled Zhang Xiaobao to walk over there, Zhang Xiaobao looked over there, and there was no hot spring, "Don't dream, how can there be a hot spring?" If there is, I found it last time, and the spring that may have just come out leads to an underground river. ”

"Then take a look, hurry up." Wang Juan pulled Zhang Xiaobao to speed up, and the two protective people behind him also trotted up.

There are mulberries in the forest, trickling down. The sun shines through the leaves. The shallow grass is withered and yellow, and the wild fruits are fragrant. The mountain is in the middle of the water.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan stood on the top of the mountain on this side, feeling the surrounding breath, looking at the fantastic scenery in front of them, taking a long breath, and slowly exhaling it, an indescribable pleasure lingering in their hearts.

"It's so beautiful, Xiaobao, we didn't circle this place at the beginning, right?" Wang Juan squinted at the pool of blue water surrounded by the surrounding mountains, sniffed, and asked.

"Well, it doesn't seem to be, I didn't find any water here at the beginning, it's really a spring, but it's not warm." Zhang Xiaobao knew what Wang Juan was going to say, and he also regretted it a little.

"What about that? This place can't be given to others, I want it, I'll come over to play in the future, think of a way, spring water. Wang Juan was in a hurry, she also wanted to have this kind of beautiful thing.

"Then think of a way, wait for someone else to get this place down, let's buy it from him, this land doesn't seem to be able to get it from the government, you look at the mulberry trees around, there is output."

Zhang Xiaobao originally planned to buy this place, but found that the surrounding trees were mulberry trees, and now he understood that the land here cannot be bought casually, it belongs to the crop forest, and it is sealed to you, unlike the wasteland, which can be bought.

"Can you really buy it? Don't you have a way to kill a tree, die from the root up, the tree dies, and you can buy it here. Wang Juan proposed.

"I'm stupid, this tree belongs to our family, and I still use it when I like silkworms, let others get a reward, and then we will secretly exchange it with him somewhere else, we have taken advantage of this enclosure, we can't be too greedy, who to find to get a reward, I know, there is a person who is the most suitable."

Zhang Xiaobao rejected Wang Juan's proposal without thinking about it, and could only make up his mind on others.

"Who, is it Li Xun's kid? If he takes it, can he exchange it with us? He's always trying to annex us. ”

Wang Juan's first thought was Li Xun, after all, he was an imperial nephew, and he wanted a little fiefdom, as long as it wasn't too big, there was still no problem.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head and said: "It's not him, I can't prevent him, how can I give him a chance, it's the county order, Cheng County's order is not good, he is leaving, he won't give him a reward, the new county order, as long as he gets some political achievements, let's not talk about our relationship with him, he may get a reward, let's let him ask for a place here, and then change places with him."

The county order that has just arrived, it is impossible to leave after only a few days, how can you stay for a year and a half, it is necessary to have a good relationship, it is best to bring one up from the local area, it is not very likely. ”

"Then what will we do if this county order does not listen to us at that time? There are many people like this, who come down from above and want to make money, are you going to help him corrupt to the end? ”

Wang Juan is a little worried about the next county magistrate, she has watched a lot of films, and they are all played like this, especially in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, where almost every dynasty is the richest, and the officials who go there are all fat, not to mention the film, the same is true of the place where she and Zhang Xiaobao came, otherwise how could she be betrayed?

Zhang Xiaobao also knew that it was not easy to deal with a corrupt official, so he sighed, "Let's talk about it then, I don't know what Steward Zhang is talking about?" Hopefully it will get things done. ”

"Well, there shouldn't be any problems, go, go down, I'll see if the water is cold or warm." Wang Juan didn't worry about Steward Zhang, and pulled Zhang Xiaobao down.

******

"Ninety pounds of seeds, what do you think? It's dropped by 40 wen all of a sudden, and it's about to catch up with half of it, so the price of your food hasn't dropped so much, has it? ”

Steward Zhang was still talking to a group of businessmen, just now the heads of the Zhang family and the Wang family all came, and the guarantor of the tooth was also here, there were no people here who were toothless, the water and clouds came out, and there were a lot of vehicles from Xiao Luoshui to pull all kinds of people to this side, and the tooth had to find a place to settle people in the nearest place, so as not to encounter a situation too late.

Of course, it is impossible for these proprietors to sell every grain to the Zhang and Wang families for 10,000 stones, so they will not make any money, even if these people are responsible for 10,000 stones together, the family will almost take out nearly 1,000 stones.

After some discussion, in the end, these families sold the three main foods for 5,000 stone each to Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi, which was a very low price, in addition to this, they bought two more that were not too important, and the price was also the cost, one was soybeans, this one was sold for 2,000 stones, and one was sorghum, which sold for 1,500 stones, which made these owners feel distressed.

After waiting for the signing of the paperwork and the people left, they began to discuss the matter of the seeds, and when they heard Steward Zhang's offer, the merchants shook their heads one after another.

"Steward Zhang, this price is still too high, to be honest, the things we sell you are all the capital, and we have to take half of the freight, you can't do this, you can't let us lose money, right? We will see each other often in the future, so we will take the opportunity to check out the shops in various places when we have time. ”

Jin Dongjia said to Steward Zhang with a sad face, he really couldn't give up such a good seed, mainly because he planned to buy it once, the price was a little more, and he didn't need to buy it again in the future, just keep the seeds.

When Steward Zhang heard this, he was also a little hesitant, and wanted to continue to squeeze some of them, but he was really worried that when they joined forces to increase the price of grain here, he also knew that Xiao Gongzi's plan was to raise the new county order, and whether the people could eat or not would naturally have to consider.

After thinking about it for a while, Steward Zhang felt a little more relaxed and said, "Then eighty yuan, what do you think?" ”

"This, eighty Wen, Steward Zhang, we want to buy more, at least buy more than half of your here, you see, can you drop it a little more?"

Another proprietor still thinks it's expensive, Zhangjia Zhuangzi has planted a lot of rice here, and wants to buy more, but it's not easy to raise so much money for a while.

"In fact, there is another way, it can be cheaper, as long as seventy yuan, but you can't change money, you have to change stores, small shops in the capital, all walks of life, you just need to take out the store, even if you make a little money in it, that's okay."

Steward Zhang saw that it was almost time, and finally told the matter.
