Chapter Seventy-Five: I'm afraid of developing here

The weather is gradually getting cooler, just cold, you need to add a piece of clothing outside, or in the morning and evening, you can still wear a thin one during the day.

The family members who followed Zhang Zhong, except for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, were more curious about this climate, even if they already knew that it would be like this when they came, the furs transported from the capital could not be made into clothes, but they could be made into all kinds of furniture.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were originally going to make springs and then make a comfortable bed, but they found that if they wanted steel with good hardness, it would be difficult to find iron with good elasticity.

The two of them discussed for a few days, found Li Xun, and wanted to continue to cooperate with him to open a business, Xin'er didn't have to worry about it, she was still there to continue to study the rag doll, don't look at it is a cover, stuffed with cotton, but it is not simple at all when it is really done, mainly because others will not just hold it when they are dolls, and may also fiddle and make various actions.

The cotton stuffed in it could not reach the place where Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were at that time, and the technology at that time would be rolled, which required a lot of wire nets to be fixed inside, and it could not affect the doll's movements outside.

Xin'er felt that it was the beginning of her own success and that she would be more profitable than the things she had done before, so she was very devoted, bent on making a system out of this rag doll, and wanted to make more improvements in the future.

Li Xun did not follow Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in the past two days, but guarded the cotton field, wanting to see if planting such cotton is more beneficial than growing grain.

After looking at the past two days, Li Xun found that it may not be good to plant elsewhere, but it is still good here in Luzhou, which can be described as a vast and sparsely populated area, far worse than Chang'an, there is a lot of barren land, there are still trees in some places, and the family has a large population, so those trees may be cut down, and then turned into fertile land, such land can be rented in the past few years.

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan asked people to find Li Xun, Li Xun had already glued cotton all over his body, and he didn't clean it up, so he came to the river of one of the two big rivers with cotton wool.

As soon as Li Xun arrived at the place, he excitedly said to the two people: "I have decided, plant more cotton here, there is a lot of idle land there, and you can also cut down the trees on the mountain and continue to plant, there are so many mountains behind, the trees are not used up." ”

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have already discussed this kind of thing, the two of them will not stop others from cutting down, but they don't want to do this, especially the 100,000 mountains behind, although the area of the 100,000 mountains was not small at that time, and there were many types of animals and plants in it, it was far worse than now.

The two of them want to protect this place and leave it to future generations, and it's not that there is no other way to make money, why bother at the cost of destruction, the two people looking for Li Xun originally planned to talk about the sofa, the leather brought from the north is very good, and if you get the sofa, you can sell it to the rich people here.

In this way, you can cooperate with the sale of cotton, make some cotton cushions, or pillows, with the sofa, not only sit comfortably, but also use cotton pads to absorb sweat, and when the time comes, you can change the mats, and even provide work for some local individuals, such as playing cotton.

The two of them listened to Li Xun's idea to hit the top of the 100,000 mountain, glanced at each other, and Zhang Xiaobao said: "It's okay to cut down trees, but you can't cut down the trees inside, remember that the trees outside don't care if you can't cut them down, we only make money from trees, which is used to make paper or furniture."

To calculate the growth time of the tree, divide it into a piece of place, cut a piece to replant a piece, cotton is forgotten, there are still a lot of vacant land, you can improve these lands, saline-alkali land is not afraid, with a lot of water to repeatedly wash, enough to plant cotton. ”

"Huh? Can't cut down the tree and plant cotton? Do you have to plant another tree? So many trees occupy space, this is reserved for them to grow, it is better to make money, if you want to wash the saline-alkali land, it will take at least three years, and then it will not be your father here. ”

Li Xun didn't understand the environmental protection thing, he couldn't understand why he couldn't cut down the trees and turn them into fertile land, and now the imperial court is encouraging the people to do this, but Zhang Xiaobao is working against the imperial court.

"Just thinking about yourself?" Wang Juan spoke at this time, and when he saw Li Xun looking over, he continued: "Do you know why fewer people died in this flood? ”

"I know, it's because Xiaobao's father is here, otherwise a lot of people will die." Li Xun didn't deny Zhang Zhong's credit, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what he said, right?

"There is water and trees washed down upstream, only a little bit of sediment, if you cut down all the trees, the next time there is a big flood, then there will be a lot of mud washed down, not to mention the wooden row, even the iron row can't stop it, it will all have to be buried inside.

The roots of the tree will catch the soil, only when there are more trees, the mountain will be stable, divided into several years to cut and plant, you can always obtain the resources of these trees, don't underestimate these trees, can make boats, can make paper, can also make furniture, cut a part every year, cut and plant, so that it is life and life.

Otherwise, you cut some, others cut some more, only cut but not plant, waiting for our descendants to cry tears and scold the ancestors, you just want to regret it and have no chance, even if the history of thorns is changed here, it is nothing, we can buy these places when Xiaobao's father is still in office.

A few of us paid for it, and the place is ours, and the money will go into the state yamen for infrastructure construction, so you won't have to worry about it in the future, don't you still want to use this place as a place to play? ”

Wang Juan really doesn't want to move the 100,000 mountains, in that case it would be too loser, how many people does the entire Tang Dynasty have now? And how much land can be used? The land here can be rotated, that is, planted for a year and off for a year, so much land, is it not enough to grow food?

Now the grain yield is low and not afraid, there is Sinong Temple to study, there is also Zhangjia here research, when the time comes, the research results will be good together, I heard that Sinong Temple has studied a lot of good seeds, but one is that the transportation is not convenient, and the other is that the seeds will be degraded.

With the development, this is not a problem, transportation can be solved, isn't it just to build roads, what a simple thing, as long as you are willing to pay, wait for a few years, when you and Zhang Xiaobao make more money, you will start to build roads all over the country, build a section of the store to open over, and guide local logistics.

Things are done by people, and he and Xiaobao know what will happen in the future, which is a kind of pain that the soul can't bear, and people don't have this kind of consciousness now, so they should cultivate, and they must always leave something for future generations, as well as rules.

Li Xun's head still couldn't turn for a while, but it didn't matter, he believed that what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said would not be wrong, since the two of them had such a plan, then it would be better to listen to the two of them.

Thinking of this, Li Xun said to the two: "Then do as you say, then start to divert the water of the two big rivers to some saline-alkali land, soak it first, and then plant things when the soak is almost done, we really can't plant it somewhere else." ”

"Yes, go to other places to plant, such as in other countries, buy a piece of land, or buy a place with trees, cut down the trees, and then turn them into fertile fields, and those pieces of wood can be used to make things, and the fields can be produced."

Zhang Xiaobao is still more recognized in this aspect, he is not a member of the Environmental Protection Association, he just feels sorry for his country, the good or bad of other countries has nothing to do with him, he is not selfless to the point of taking world peace as his own responsibility, as long as his side is doing well, what if people from other countries are dead?

Wang Juan knew what he was thinking as soon as he heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, it was too early to mention this kind of thing, so it was better to do what needed to be done first.

"Li Gongzi, this time I came to you to discuss some things, we already know those saline-alkali lands, and the approximate location is clear, I don't plan to brew it with fresh water immediately, but I want to dig out a big pond in that place and raise fish here."

Wang Juan saw that Li Xun mentioned the place where cotton was planted, and talked about saline-alkali land, so let's talk about this problem first, and the matter of really making sofas will be postponed.

Li Xun didn't expect that the two of them came to him just to discuss fish farming, and asked puzzledly: "Raising fish in the sea?" Do you have to get the sea water there, there are already fish in the sea, what else to raise? There are so many that you can't catch them. ”

"Raise cherished species, not fish that can be seen casually, for example, some fish have red and yellow bodies, and some fish that can't be caught for a few days, then raise them."

Wang Juan introduced the matter of fish farming, she felt that every day there are new varieties produced, and every day there are original varieties dying out, even if human beings do not destroy it, it is the same, but the development of human beings has accelerated this process.

There are animals and plants, as well as some microorganisms, and since we don't have the ability to keep all the varieties now, we can breed as many new varieties as possible, and then exchange them for money.

This is the purpose of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan here, Zhang Xiaobao added: "The water coming down from this river is freshwater, and you can use a net to block the big freshwater fish, so that people can eat two kinds of fish from the water here."

When you get to the part of the sea, you don't have to worry about it, if there are fish that can withstand the sea, then swim over, and if you can't bear it, you will naturally stay here, and the same is true for the fish in the sea, the two sides can merge together, and when it comes to the spawning season, maybe new fish will appear.

Especially with a variety of colors, different length of fish, we will raise these fish separately, waiting for the fish to lay eggs and grow out of the small fish is also like this, then it can be cultivated little by little, into ornamental fish, as long as it is done, it is easy to sell a thousand.

Would Li Gongzi be willing to add in? Maybe the investment in the early stage is very large, and you can't see the benefits for a few years, if you are willing, then Li Gongzi will take out 2,000 yuan, which is counted as Li Gongzi. ”

"Two thousand is one?" Li Xun was attracted by this plan, but when he heard the money, he hesitated again, if he took 2,000 guan as a percent, it means that the Zhang and Wang families will come up with at least 18,000 yuan, he doesn't know whether the 20,000 guan money is suitable for raising fish, it seems to be a bit expensive.

"Xiaobao, so much money just for fish farming? This money is enough to eat fish, and it is enough for us to eat for a lifetime, how can we use 20,000 yuan? ”

Li Xun asked again.

Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said confidently: "Twenty thousand is not much, this is still considering that there will be output while carrying out, otherwise more will be needed, because it is not only in this place to raise, but also in some other places, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources, how can it be simple?" ”

Now Li Xun is clear, the Zhang family wants to directly spread out the business, and if you want to do it, you can directly make it bigger, not a little bit, the Zhang family is rich, maybe they don't care about failure or not.

Thinking of the transactions that the Zhang family had done before, it seemed that only after arriving in Luzhou this time, they had lost part of it due to the impact of natural disasters, and they had not lost money at all at other times, Li Xun had an idea, nodded and said: "Okay, then it's decided, I'll ask people to prepare two thousand yuan of money in a while, remember that it's one percent, and don't regret it when the time comes." ”

Li Xun said this, in fact, he had already understood that he had taken him once, otherwise, if he did it himself, he would earn more money, so why bother to share a hundred percent of the profits? Don't look at it just one percent, after this business is waiting to become bigger, one percent can even exceed all the money originally invested.

"Li Gongzi rest assured, we will never regret it, waiting for our glass industry to come out, this fish is not just a single sale, although the glass is good, but the price is expensive, not to mention, it is not easy to fire a fully transparent, so it is better to have glass for fish farming."

Zhang Xiaobao doesn't care if Li Xun agrees at all, it's better if he doesn't agree, he earns the money himself, but if he doesn't say it and let Li Xun choose, it seems a little unrighteous, and Li Xun will find fault.

As soon as Wang Juan thought of the glaze, he felt that he had a new idea, and said: "You can spend a lot of money to buy a glaze workshop, and when the time comes, according to the appearance of the fish we buy, try to make glaze that can match the color and scenery, and the price will be higher." ”

"You can do what you want, but it's up to the two of you to say, oh, there is something I want to talk to the two of you, my imperial uncle wants to repair the canal well and connect more places, but the imperial court is short of money now, I am ready to send 100,000 yuan, are you willing to send some with me?"

Li Xun mentioned this matter as he spoke, he also just received the news from his father, knowing that he has money, and he doesn't have any big expenses, which means that he will take the money out to his younger brother, that is, Li Longji.

"This matter needs to be discussed, Li Gongzi is waiting here and will come back in a while." Zhang Xiaobao threw down a sentence and pulled Wang Juan away.

The two men rode out about ten miles on horseback, and then they stopped, let the horse find something to eat by themselves, and the two sat down under a big tree and discussed the matter.

"Xiaobao, did the Tang Dynasty build a canal at this time? How come I don't remember? And this great flood, it seems that there is no record left in the books I have read before. ”

Wang Juan pulled up a few grasses on the ground, and asked Zhang Xiaobao with a rabbit there.

"There are so many things that are not written in the book, how can you write everything into them? But I think the matter of building the canal should be our reason, we have taken a few boats in a row, and we must have made a lot of money over there, and the emperor was red-eyed, but fortunately he gave him enough gifts, and my father's ability was also big enough.

He may think that this road is good, but there are still too few places connected by the canal, so he wants to repair more, although it is Kaiyuan at this time, but it is not the heyday of the period, it has just begun, the court does not have much money, I decided that this money is out, I don't know how much money can be taken out of all the transactions over there. ”

Zhang Xiaobao analyzed it, it is difficult to say about the flood, but the canal does seem to have something to do with them, and the emperor is not only thinking about how much money is in the treasury, but how much better the people can be in the process.

Now Xiao Li is not bad, he knows that he is good to the people, and he will be too old in the future, otherwise no one will evaluate him like Xiao He, he will become Xuanzong, and he will lose Xuanzong.

Wang Juan actually knew that if he could pay some at this time, he would get more rewards in the future, thinking of Li Longji, he sighed and said: "Just like Yang Guang, this person is actually not bad, at least he built the canal, many people say that he is for fun, but in fact, it is not."

No one wants to govern their country well after becoming an emperor, it's just that their abilities are different, and the degree of dedication is different, so there will be different results, the Grand Canal, maybe Yang Guang can't imagine what he, a person with infamy, left behind his descendants when he repaired it.

The Grand Canal, which has countless stories, is a dream that spans thousands of years, the ancients are gone, but the water in the canal is still surging, I decided, to Hangzhou to build the embankment, do not wait for Su Shi, then it will be called the Juan Embankment. ”

"Why isn't it called Baodi?" Zhang Xiaobao was in a relaxed mood.

"Then it's called Baojuan Dike, no, if you want to call Juan Baodi, it's all caused by you men, so that people will unconsciously put men's names in front when they think of names."

Wang Juan just said a name, and suddenly changed it, she felt that even if there were many times, some men would listen to women, but men and women were still unequal, especially in some cutting-edge industries, and in the selection of officials, don't look at many women who have become officials, but there is no such thing as women's ability to reach the best level.

Zhang Xiaobao understood more thoroughly, and said: "A capable man will never be equal to a woman, and a man without ability will be suppressed by a woman, which depends on the ability to obtain productive forces and the status of women in the family.

Men get less, they don't have the ability, so they naturally have to listen to women, Wu Zetian is so powerful, how much did she pay when she got the position? If you are a man, you may not have the same opportunity as her, but if you really have the same opportunity, then you must pay less than her.

Incompetent men regard women as human beings, and capable men regard women as a resource, which can be exchanged, purchased, forget it, don't talk about this matter, let's talk about how much money we can come up with, how can it be less than Li Xun. ”

Zhang Xiaobao felt bored as he spoke, but Wang Juan didn't think so, stared at Zhang Xiaobao and asked, "Then are you a capable man or a failed man?" ”

"I think you are a capable woman, don't look at me like that, but I am more traditional, the so-called tradition is not this ancient tradition, but a tradition that should not be used as a tradition in modern times, that is what it means, I respect myself, and I also respect women, after all, my mother is also a woman."

Zhang Xiaobao did not answer Wang Juan's words directly, but went around in a circle to show his thoughts.

"It's about the same, then let's donate 110,000 yuan, some industries over there should have made a lot of money, as well as the goods that have been shipped over, and I want to be able to raise this money."

Wang Juan was satisfied, and the money she said was 10,000 yuan more than Li Xun's, she knew that this money would not be spent in vain, and she might get some convenient conditions, such as taxes, or some *** benefits, which would be put on her father and Zhang Xiaobao's father.

Zhang Xiaobao doesn't feel sorry for this money, as long as he can do something for the kind people of the country, he is very willing to invest money, he has invested a lot before, and when he wants to do this, he has also arranged several funds to operate, and he will be able to help the country do a lot of things when the time comes.

It's not how selfless he is, but that people must always have a spiritual pillar in their lives, and those who are able will put this pillar in their hearts, for the whole nation, and also for themselves, and those who are not capable will believe in various religions and seek a pillar among these sects.

Seeing that Wang Juan was willing to take out an extra 10,000 yuan, Zhang Xiaobao agreed: "It's okay, then do it, Li Xun won't be angry, he is not a person at the same level as us after all, his identity determines that his pay and return are not proportional to the pay and return of others, even if he only takes out 10,000 yuan, it will be more appreciated than us." ”

"Yes, identity is sometimes like this, fair or unfair, there is no way to explore, then we have to wait for a while, and wait until the time is almost enough to go back to see Li Xun from here to the state capital, after all, we can't directly decide such a thing, well, Li Xun thinks so."

Wang Juan put the braided rabbit in Zhang Xiaobao's hand, looked at the grass blowing in front of him and said.

The two of them estimated the time, just sat there and looked at the surrounding scenery, there is still a certain distance from the sea, and they can't see the sea, but it does not affect the feelings of the two people to feel the sea.

Li Xun judged as Wang Juan, he felt that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan left to go home, and he wanted to ask his family about it, after all, there was too much money involved, if it was a few thousand, the two of them would be able to call the shots directly.

While waiting, Li Xun thought about what kind of effect the money sent out this time would have, 100,000 yuan, how many people would be red-eyed? At least my cousins and siblings will be concerned, but so what? I don't want to give it, there is an uncle there, so I can't rob it.

It's not okay to fight secretly, as long as you are caught and sent to the imperial uncle, whoever moves the hand will wait to be cleaned up, except for the prince, if someone else does it, the imperial uncle will not leave too much affection, after all, this is a fratricidal cannibalism, and the prince will not dare to do it on his side, what does it mean to do it to himself?

This hasn't been the emperor yet, so he did it to his brother, and when he became the emperor, is there a good one? Well, yes, that's it, when the time comes, you can have more benefits, such as having a fief elsewhere, and others want to stay in the capital, but you don't want to, so use the benefits in exchange for the followers of Zhang Wang's family, and transfer Zhang Zhong to the fief as an official.

"Hehehe, with the people of the Zhang family, are you afraid that the fiefdom will not be well governed?" Li Xun thought about it, and said the words in his heart, and at this time a fish jumped up from the river, flicked its tail, turned around and drilled back again, leaving only the water droplets and ripples that had not yet fallen into the water in the air.

After waiting for almost two hours, it was already past lunch time, Li Xun still didn't leave, he knew that the two of them would not be back for a while.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also counted the time and rode over, and Li Xun asked with his eyes as soon as he saw the two.

"Li Gongzi, my family can take out 110,000 yuan of money this time, but the new canal can't let people go back and forth in vain, and a certain fee needs to be charged, after all, digging the canal also uses money, so let's think about it, and it will be divided into four classes according to the size of the boat.

The smallest boat, if it is local, can get a card with a month's money, as long as you pay 30 wen a month, then you can pass by casually, not local, in the past, pay one penny, a slightly larger medium boat will pay 10 wen, a large ship will pay 100 wen, come and go, larger boats, want us to run the sea boat, you have to pay the same money.

After all, they are all in business, no matter what they ask for money, isn't that just helping them dig rivers? You talk about this matter with the emperor, and when the time comes, the emperor will occupy more on his side, and we will occupy less here. ”

Zhang Xiaobao met Li Xun's inquiring gaze and began to tell himself and Wang Juan's plan, don't underestimate this cost, as long as there are enough ships coming and going, then the accumulated money will not be less, and it will take more than ten years to recover this money, or even shorter.

Li Xun was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, he never thought of collecting money when he passed by, but thinking about it, this money was not all from the imperial court, but with him and Zhang Wang in it, it was nothing to ask for money, as for whether it could be done in the end, it depended on Uncle Huang's plan.

Thinking that the four levels were all ten times the amount of money to increase, he asked worriedly: "Could it be that the big ship thinks it is expensive, and when it comes to the place where the money is collected, it is necessary to find a local small boat to transport the goods?" ”

"Yes, as long as there is less cargo, it will be like this, but if there is more cargo, they can hire those small boats for a lot more than if they pay the usual money directly, at least they are not fools will know how to choose, and if the local boats want to make money, then let them make money."

Waiting for more small boats to make money, you can let the local government collect taxes, issue a brand, do not pay taxes, where those big ships in the hiring of small boats, if there is a brand, then the goods can be guaranteed to be delivered, if there is no brand, then the price may be lower, but the goods are lost The government will not care. ”

Zhang Xiaobao had already taken these things into account when he thought of this charging situation, and Li Xun said it directly as soon as he asked.

Li Xun didn't dare to guarantee that this thing would work, he could work hard to fight for it, as for the result, it was hard to say, thinking of this, he said to Zhang Xiaobao: "I will write to say this thing, whether it can be done or not, then I can't control it, I understand what you said, the money for hiring a boat is not less than the toll, and the people on the boat can make money, and the government can also make money."

Another is that as long as the canal is repaired, whether it is those boats pulling goods or the merchants there driving over by boats, there will always be people who have to pay, otherwise they will take the land route, and the money on transportation will be more, doesn't that mean? ”

"That's what it means." Zhang Xiaobao nodded and admitted that he didn't want to spend the money without any benefit, of course the people passing by for business had to take out this part of the money, otherwise they would let you use it in vain.

Even if it is a passenger ship, it is not directly from the hands of those guests, but it must be paid by the ship's owner.

Although this thing may not be in this era, then you have to try it, if the emperor agrees, then do it, if you don't agree, forget it, you can't do it with the emperor for this matter, then it's not cost-effective.

When Zhang Xiaobao and a few people were discussing the plan to make a fortune, the two boats of the Ning family finally returned to Qinzhou Mansion at the fastest speed, Ning Gongzi stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the river in front of him, he couldn't tell what mood he was, he originally thought about it, and transported some valuable things from there to sell here.

After all, people are saying that they are collecting road money, and if they really want to report to the official, they have to report it to their own family, which is not a trouble for their own family.

And if you use this reason to write a bullet impeachment, you can directly quibble and say that there is no such thing at all, if you don't believe it, ask others, even if the above sends someone down to investigate.

You can just find a reason to get rid of the matter, but if the other party also writes an excerpt and tells the matter on his side, then the people in the court will immediately understand that the Zhang family is taking revenge on them, and if they retaliate once, it is the Ning family's ship again, and no one will say anything.

But if they stop any kind of people on their side, it will be a big crime, and when the time comes, not only will they not be able to move the Zhang family, but they will build their own family into it.

Thinking of these, Ning Gongzi didn't know who to find to be angry, if these responsibilities were really investigated, he would indeed have to bear them, but the person in charge was already willing to bear it, so he could breathe a sigh of relief, as for what would happen in the future, then he would first have to keep the person in charge, and then take his time.

With this contradictory idea, Ning Gongzi got off the boat, and then came to the yamen by car, without his orders, the steward on the ship directly took all the responsibilities on his shoulders.

Ning Gongzi is actually an ordinary member of the family, the Ning family is a big family, there is not much more than him, and there is no less than him, but his task this time is heavier, that is, to see if he can succeed in learning from the Zhang family to do things, as a result, the two ships that came back were empty, except for people, there was no food.

This is really unacceptable, Ning Gongzi was naturally said, the person in charge was whipped, fortunately, the people in the Ning family also knew that the person in charge was giving the child a blame, such a steward is rare, and if it is not good, it really hurts, even if it is not, the people of the Ning family are very dissatisfied with the Zhang family's approach.

Even if they had also collected money from the merchants who came from Luzhou, they didn't think so, they felt that the money they collected was only a part of it, and they didn't take all of it, but the Zhang family took all the goods on the ship this time, which was wrong.

This is what the Ning family thinks, many people may think like this, but Zhang Xiaobao definitely doesn't think so, as long as you show hostility on your side, I will directly beat you without the slightest strength to fight back.

Ning Thorn Shi got some news from Cao Herui and others a few days ago, and he was already very angry, but he was angry, he felt that these words were not so credible, but today he saw the two empty ships that came back, which made him feel that those words were still somewhat credible, and it was with this thought that he decided to do it to the Zhang family in advance.

The Ning family is a big family, and the background will naturally not be bad, if you do it to a person, you have to think about it, they are also the kind of people who don't show mercy to others when they make a move, as long as there is a chance to kill the enemy, then they will not give the enemy any chance to turn over.

"Come on, call Cao and Rui over, I have something to say to them." Ning Tingshi thought of doing it and ordered his subordinates, he needed to meet the three of them, and he had to understand the situation over there before he could use the thunder method.

In fact, he had already sent some people to be responsible for such things, but the information that those individuals said when they came back was not what he wanted at all, and they had planted rice, planted white stacks, dug rivers, and repaired seawalls, and these things were of no use at all.

From these practices, he really couldn't find any faults, if he really took these things as a reason for impeachment, then not only could he not impeach Zhang Zhong, but it would affect the entire Ning family, and if the people in the court heard the news, they would definitely reward Zhang Zhong.

It was because of this that he didn't make a move, and at the same time, he didn't look for Cao and Rui, he always felt that these three people were calculating him and Zhang Zhong again, and wanted to watch the two sides fight, so that the three of them could vent their own anger, or get some benefits from it.

The Shen family that the three of them said at the beginning, they also know it on their own side, isn't it just that there is a prince standing behind them? The emperor has many sons, and he is not the crown prince, so he doesn't have to think about those things at all.

After waiting for a while, Cao and Rui came over, they have been doing well here these days, but one by one they have no intention of enjoying it, and have been waiting for Ning Tingshi to do it, the problem is that Ning Tingshi doesn't know what to think, and he has no intention of going over at all.

The three of them were worried about the people at home, and they were afraid that after they left, the people in the family would be wronged, but they couldn't get any news, and the only thing they could do was wait.

There were a few times when they asked to meet Master Assassin, but they were all shirked by others for various reasons, and today they finally got the opportunity, one was to fan the flames again, and the other was to ask Lord Assassin if there was any news over there.

Ning Tingshi was waiting for three people in the study, and as soon as the three of them saw the study, Ning Tingshi said with a smile: "Things in the house are busy these days, and I really don't have time to see you, I am free today, I don't know if the three of you have any other thoughts about that Zhang Zhong?" ”

"The adult is naturally busy for the country and the people, don't care about me and a few other people, is the adult asking Zhang Zhong? Then we know a lot, Zhang Zhong doesn't care about the face of the court at all, and he actually took it out of his home to help the people in Luzhou, isn't this an unauthorized invitation to the people?

It's so remote here, oh, I didn't say this place for adults, I'm talking about Luzhou, it takes a lot of time to send a letter, Zhang Zhong is relying on this, while the court doesn't know, if you don't get it, Zhang Zhong is likely to use this place to rebel, adults should be more prepared, don't be the first to be attacked by Zhang Zhong at that time.

There is also Zhang Zhong, who actually dumped on his colleagues, why? The three of us knew a lot of things over there, and he must have been afraid that we would see his intentions, so he did that, and when he was flooded, he didn't say that he would let the people take the water away, but let the people tear down their houses.

I see that none of the houses on my lord's side have collapsed, Zhang Zhong deliberately let the people live in my place, this crime is not small, my lord, you must tell Zhang Zhong's ambition to the court, and then let the court deal with Zhang Zhong, otherwise, the harm will be endless. ”

Cao Herui said vigorously on the side, saying that all the good things that Zhang Zhong had done were bad things, waiting for the assassin to make a move.

Ning Tingshi really wanted to inquire about something from the mouths of the three people, and wanted that kind of thing that was true and unbiased, but after listening to Cao Herui's words, he knew that this hope was in vain, what kind of mess, Zhang Zhong could still rebel? Just by his little people?

If you really want to rebel, how good would it be to run to the land of Sichuan and Shu? Fortunately, next to Tubo, when the time comes, you can still get the support of Tubo, and if you rebel in Luzhou, is it preparing to get the support of the sea? This kind of thing can be said nonsense by others, but he must not use it to attack Zhang Zhong, otherwise the first unlucky one will be his own side.

Seeing Cao and Rui looking over, Ning Tingshi pretended to listen, nodded, his face changed, and said angrily: "Zhang Zhong is so bold, he actually did such a thing, I must not look at it, whether the three of them have any other evidence, and hand it over to the official, and then the credit will be indispensable to the three of them." ”

The three of them were a little stupid when they heard this, they didn't dare to involve themselves after they said these rumors, if this kind of thing was investigated, it would be a false accusation, and the three of them shook their heads at the same time, or Cao Herui spoke.

"My lord, the three of us can't get involved in such a thing, it's enough for an adult to think about it, oh, my lord is asking Zhang Zhong if there are any other things, yes, Zhang Zhong let the people in his family change their identities and lend usury to the people.

Not only that, Zhang Zhong didn't care about the life and death of the people, let them work more day and night, I saw with my own eyes that two people were tired and died there, it's really pitiful, but those people have nothing to do, even the three of us can't persuade them, and as a result, Zhang Zhong was provoked and took away the real power of us.

Also, Zhang Zhong actually let people bask in the sea water on the beach, which obviously doesn't take salt seriously, who doesn't know that the salt is boiled, cooking can not only get salt, but also the boiled salt is okay for people to eat, he dries it, and if it is not good, it will eat people to death.

Besides, in order to get more tribute, Zhang Zhong even asked the people to risk their lives to go to the sea to get it, and many people were ......"

"Well, what Cao Jusi said is right, these officials have written it down, are there any more?" Ning Tingshi saw that what Cao and Rui said was getting more and more suspenseful, so he quickly interrupted his words and set his eyes on the other two people.

As soon as Fan Cambodia saw the adults coming over, he immediately said: "Yes, yes, and also, Zhang Zhong actually used the name of an official to make other businessmen listen to him, and he didn't know how much benefit he got from it, and he also took out his own family's money and combined it with those local businessmen to deceive the local people.

I've seen it three times, they asked the people to give them good things, saying that they were helping to sell, but the result was not only not to give the people money, but to say that the people didn't give them anything, and they also beat the people who went to find them seriously injured, the three of us wanted to find the seriously injured people, so that we could help, but unfortunately, I don't know what kind of means Zhang Zhong used, so that we could no longer find people.

My lord, in addition to these, Zhang Zhong also deliberately asked the people to use shrimp to make shrimp paste, and said that he would collect it for fifteen yuan a jar, but when the people saw that the shrimp paste was about to be done, he didn't accept it, so that the people delayed their work and had not sold the shrimp paste. ”

"Oh, it's so infuriating? He Zhang Zhong should not die well, since this is the case, then the official must get justice back for the people of Luzhou, but it's a pity that those people who make shrimp paste, they have done so much, and some even owe money from the outside to pay it back, how can they live. ”

Ning Tingshi had already sent people out and knew some things over there, and the three people in front of him simply wanted to take revenge on Zhang Zhong, and they turned many good things done by Zhang Zhong into bad things, this ability is really not ordinary, and at the same time, such people can't stay and use them, otherwise maybe one day they will be able to sell themselves, or that kind of rumor-mongering method.

After Ning Tingshi finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Wanshi, who had not spoken all the time, to see what he would say.

Jiang Wanshi saw the eyes of the adults, and forced out a smile and said: "My lord, not only what the two of them said, Zhang Zhong also killed the mountain over there, and even the people on the mountain on our side were also harmed by them, let those mountain people go down the mountain, saying that they were giving a lot of good things, but when the mountain people really came down, he didn't give anything."

This is amazing, originally those mountain people had some hostility with our people, but now they are deceived by Zhang Zhong like this, those mountain people will definitely be angry, and when the time comes, they will flee to the mountains and tell the other mountain people about this, and it will be too difficult for us to persuade those mountain people to come down again.

Your Excellency, you must also write this, otherwise if one day so many mountain people rush down with weapons, who will be able to bear such a responsibility? And all of this was made by Zhang Zhong, by the way, my lord, did you send someone over there to find out the news, the three of us were in a bit of a hurry when we came out, and we don't know what happened at home. ”

Jiang Wanshi added fuel and vinegar, and finally couldn't help but miss and worry about her family, and asked about this matter.

The more Ning Tingshi listened, the more disappointed he became, it seemed that everything from the mouths of the three people was thought of, looked at the three people, nodded slightly, and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely deal with this matter, your family, I sent someone over to come back and say, there is nothing wrong, but Zhang Zhong has already asked people to come to your house to find you, saying that there is something arranged, if you don't go back now, I'm afraid the crime will be heavier."

I don't think it's better to do this, you go back now, the official writes a letter, and that Zhang Zhong will protect you, if you want to come to Zhang Zhong's face, he will still sell it to me, what do you three think? If you think it's okay, then the official will write a letter. ”

"My lord, I can't, that Zhang Zhong is bent on letting us die, at this time the three of us go back, then it's really over, if the adults are willing to help, it's better to find a way to take the family of the three of us over, then we won't be afraid, it's a big deal to write an excerpt to the court."

In fact, we have already written, but it's a pity that Zhang Zhong actually sent someone to stop it, and he didn't let the fold pass at all, my lord, hurry up and think of a way. ”

Jiang Wanshi was frightened when she heard that they were going to drive the three of them away, at this time the two sides had not yet fought, if they just left, then once they went back, they were guaranteed to be arrested first, even if they had to wait for the court to judge, but they were really locked up in a prison cell, who knows what kind of hardship they would suffer?

When he said this, the other two people also said the same, saying that they didn't want to go back, and on the other hand, they wanted Ning Tingshi to take their family over.

Ning Tingshi was angry, and said to the three people: "You just want to take your family over?" That's good, first write down the sins you just said about Zhang Zhong into an excerpt, and I'll help you find a way when the time comes. ”
