Chapter 374: Mountains and Mountains Are Endless

Li Longji and the others didn't know what a gunboat was, not only him, but even Old Man Bi only knew that the Zhang and Wang families had better weapons.

The officials sent to Luzhou can nominally control the entire Luzhou, but the real situation is that there are many places that do not allow them to come into contact.

Only a few people in Luzhou knew about the existence of the gunboat, and they were sealed by the people of the Chamber of Commerce, but many well-informed people knew that the Zhang and Wang families had good things, as for what they were and to what extent, they didn't understand.

Now as soon as everyone heard that there were gunboats, and it seemed that they were dispatched in advance, otherwise it would be impossible for the news from Luzhou to Sanshui County to come back and forth, and one by one they all focused on Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao.

Old man Yao looked at Old Man Bi, because he had already arrived in Shuzhou when he met Zhang Wang's family, and he had never stayed in Luzhou at all.

Old man Bi saw everyone looking over, and felt a lot of pressure, he was also trying to think about what the gunboat captain looked like, went through the thoughts in his mind, and said: "The gunboat, as the name suggests, is a ship equipped with cannons, and the armed fleet of Zhang and Wang is called the fleet, as for the artillery, they used a thing that could only be hit once when they were in Tibet, called shoulder-fired individual rocket artillery. ”

"So, the gunboat just has a lot of people with rocket launchers on it, right?" Zhang said that he guessed based on Old Man Bi's words.

"I guess not, maybe it can be more powerful, who knows, when I was over there, Zhang and Wang didn't say anything about the gunboat, so it's better to send someone to Jili Prefecture to have a look, and you will know when you see the real thing."

Old man Bi felt that his intelligence work was really poor, so he looked at the people around him and proposed a solution.

Needless to say, everyone had the same plan, but the problem was that the Zhang and Wang families suddenly came up with a powerful thing, why didn't they know in advance.

Zhang Shuo felt that the opportunity had come again, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should send someone to Luzhou to check all the places that the Zhang and Wang families are not allowed to be seen by the magistrates. ”

Li Longji also felt uncomfortable in his heart, things that he couldn't control were always unacceptable, and when he was about to agree, he suddenly thought of something and glanced at Zhang.

"What Zhang Qing said is right, you should send someone to see it, I don't know which one to send from?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to send people directly from Zhongshu Province, after all, the people of each department are easy to push each other, for fear of revenge from the Zhang and Wang families, but the minister is not afraid."

Zhang said that he was ready to take power into his own hands and proposed that he arrange people.

Li Longji nodded, and said when Zhang Shuo was happy in his heart: "In this case, I will ask Zhang Qing to go there in person to check out the things over there, and I don't believe it if others don't believe it, in case the news is revealed and is taken by another country, I can't afford to lose Datang, when will Zhang Qing leave?" ”

Zhang said that when he heard that the emperor was going to let him go, he was stunned, let's not go, isn't what he just said a bully? Go, who will take care of the Chinese book order? There is Luzhou, this is the capital, and it will not take half a year to go back and forth? How many things can happen in half a year?

What's more, after getting there, you have to look carefully at all places, and ask clearly, this back and forth, if you don't even miss the Zen seal, this can't be done.

"I think what Your Majesty said is good." Yu Wenrong echoed beside him, he has made a lot of credit now, he has done a very good job in the resettlement of fugitives, and he also wants to find an opportunity to make progress, but there is a group of people led by Zhang Shuo to suppress it, and it is very difficult to rise, if Zhang Shuo can be taken away, it is really good.

Zhang said that he was afraid, he was really afraid that the emperor would send him to Luzhou, although it was better than other Lingnan roads, but after all, it was far away from the capital.

Thinking of this, he could only stubbornly say: "Your Majesty, the Zhongshu order here still has a lot of things to do, and I really can't pull away, so it's better to let the Zhang and Wang families tell the matter by themselves, it's best to wait for the gunboat to come over and send one to the capital, so that Your Majesty can see it with your own eyes." ”

"Then it's up to Zhang Qing to take care of it." Li Longji no longer forced Zhang Shuo to go to Luzhou, said casually, and put the matter down.

Zhang said that he was happy in his heart, not only did he not have to go to Luzhou, but he could also take the initiative, this idea just came out, and it turned into worry, what if the two families of Zhang Wang did not cooperate?

No, this matter has to be considered in the long run.

Zhang said suppressed the excitement in his heart, lowered his head and thought there.

The meal continued to be eaten, but everyone was less comfortable than before, and more worried.

After a hurried meal, Li Longji waited for the ministers to leave, and then said to Gao Lishi, who was accompanying him: "Xiaobao and Juan Juan have exposed their new weapons in the house, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xiaobao and Juan Juan are not small, maybe they saw the situation over there and wanted to change it, since they took it out and used it, it is naturally impossible to hide it, Your Majesty can send someone over there to see the power of the gunboat in person, if it is really stronger than the existing naval army of my Tang Dynasty, it will be more reassuring to Silla a few ***."

Gao Lishi is also trying to think about what the gunboat looks like, the fleet of Zhang and Wang is already very powerful, and they even transfer weapons from Luzhou, thinking that they can only be stronger than the current steamer, not weak.

Li Longji had this plan, when he was having dinner just now, he really wanted to send someone to Luzhou to find out there, but suddenly he thought of a question, that is, he really found out, which part should be classified in, and whether the people in this part can be kept secret.

The countries that came to the DPRK left a lot of people, through stealing, buying and other means, there are no less good technologies from the Tang Dynasty, such as the current spinnaker, the last time the people of Silla came by water, there were actually them, and there were *** people who appeared in the Sihai Academy, it is estimated that they should also be able to have the propeller behind, but the technology is not good, it is easy to break.

The things placed in the Zhang and Wang families were not leaked out, such as the rocket launcher that could only be used once, such as the kind of firecracker, such as a grenade, and a hot air balloon flying in the sky, the Zhang and Wang families did a better job of secrecy than the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Li Longji gave up the idea of sending people over, since Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan mobilized the gunboat in advance, it is estimated that they will also tell themselves.

"Then you send someone over to take a look, if it is a sharp weapon for conquest, Xiaobao and Juan Juan may really be able to do a good job of what I have always wanted to solve but have not solved."

Li Longji gave an order, and when he was about to lie down and rest for a while, the little eunuch appeared and said to Gao Lishi: "My lord, I received six pigeons from Jili Prefecture. ”

"Here we go." Colliers agreed to leave.

After a while, he came back, holding six bamboo tubes with fire paint in his hands, and said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, Xiaobao and Juan Juan divided the six pigeons into three times and sent them over, two each time, and sealed them with fire paint. ”

As he spoke, Gao Lishi put the bamboo tube in front of Li Longji, Li Longji picked it up and examined it carefully, and then opened it, and there were three letters inside, six to be exact, but every two were the same.

As a result, there was no handwriting on the paper, and he handed it to Gao Lishi, who hurriedly put the paper on the table, took out a small bottle of iodine from the drawer next to him, and brushed it with a cotton ball, only then did he see the handwriting on the paper, and he couldn't see what it was, so he took out a copy of "Anthology" from another drawer, and began to turn the pages to find it according to the numbers on it.

After being busy for a while, he finally came up with a letter, put the letter in front of Li Longji and said, "Your Majesty, this is what Xiaobao and Juan Juan want to say. ”

You don't have to look at Li Longji from the beginning to know what the whole letter is about, he was staring at it when Gao Lishi looked up the words just now.

It's about the gunboat, which is much more specific than the speculation during the previous meal, saying that the gunboat is a kind of barrel made of copper, which is loaded with cannonballs, which can be fired far away, and the power is greater than that of a siege crossbow, and a salvo fire, if it can hit the enemy's ship, then the enemy's ship is estimated to be finished, because the cannonball will explode when it hits it, which is much more powerful than fireworks.

It is also said that the gunboat has actually been made a long time ago, but at that time the technology was not mature, and I was afraid that I would be besieged by too many ships when I fought with people at sea, and it was easy to lose the technology if I couldn't run away.

After reading the letter, Li Longji felt much more comfortable, and he didn't need to send someone over by himself, so Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sent the letter first.

"Lux, write a reply letter and tell Xiaobao and Juan Juan that I allow them to act cheaply over there, and don't forget to talk to me when we fight, I can send troops to support."

Li Longji asked Gao Lishi to write a letter when he was happy, which means that if you help me really get through that place, I can't control it if I don't send someone to manage it like now, and many times you need to take sea transportation, and I will support you here.

Gao Lishi agreed and began to write a letter, which does not need to be kept secret like the letter sent by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, because there are no pigeons sent to the past, unless there are pigeons raised there, and there is no fear that there are pigeons that will fly tired and fall into the hands of people with hearts to leak the secrets, not to mention that there are no secrets in the reply.

When he was waiting for Gao Lishi to send the letter back, Li Longji didn't sleep anymore, and sat there to open the tea set and drink kung fu tea, using the best hair tips, which were exploited after drinking Gao Lishi's poor last time.

Seeing Gao Lishi coming back, he beckoned, asked Gao Lishi to fill the two tea cups, and said to one of them: "I didn't expect that I sent them over at the beginning, just to let them think of a way to repair the road and smooth the way, and deal with the people over there, but they put on a posture and prepared to take it by force, and it is estimated that there will be chaos there for a while." ”

Gao Lishi didn't need Li Longji to signal again, picked up another teacup, and replied: "Your Majesty, it will be more stable after the chaos, but I don't know if the six hundred guards brought by Xiaobao and Juan Juan and the five hundred officials transferred from Sanshui County and Huayuan County can beat them after the chaos, it is not peaceful there." ”

"Isn't there a gunboat coming, I'll wait and see." Li Longji drank the tea in one gulp.

At this time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not ready for war, and the two of them had just found the ship to moor in a natural deep-water port, and commanded people to move goods down in small boats.

The people from the offshore village also helped, and they were all full, and the whole fish feast, there were more than a dozen kinds of fish meat alone, as well as fish skin, fish bones, fish intestines and fins, and many things on the fish that they had never thought of before were made into dishes.

In addition, the seasoning used is good, and when you eat one by one, you don't even eat rice, only eat vegetables, and if you can't eat it, you drink fish soup, and continue to eat after waiting for the things in your stomach to be pressed.

After eating, the storm had passed, and their ships could no longer be found on the sea, and when they were almost on the shore, they saw a few planks there, which were all broken, and when they were distressed, they rejoiced that they had saved their lives.

Now help bring the things from the big ship to shore in the small boat, which is to be used by the new assassins and the soldiers of the army.

Seeing them work hard to bring a boatload of goods to the shore, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan found the Li Village as soon as they put it together, and said to him: "Li Village, this time you help with the work, you can't let you gang in vain, wait for the goods to be transported to the state capital, and give you one person a fishing boat, which is the salary." ”

"Really?" Li Cun asked in disbelief.

"Really, after all, we have a lot of goods, and it is difficult to transport them." Zhang Xiaobao nodded.

Li Cun wanted to say no, because life was saved by others, but then he thought about the amount of work and money needed to rebuild a boat, and his family could no longer support it, so he suppressed the words of refusal, agreed, and happily ran to tell the others.

When the other villagers heard that they could earn a boat, they worked even harder, and the cost of the boat was many times more than the wages for carrying it.

Xiaobei is also directing people to move, and their big house also came with the ship, mainly because Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are worried that the state capital here is very dilapidated, and Xiaobei and others are not used to living there.

When the big house fell from the boat, the villagers of the coastal village were dumbfounded again, they had seen the moving house with all the things, but they had never seen the moving house, this big house, beautiful is beautiful, and the transparent windows were much bigger than the small boat, and they didn't know how to transport it.

When they were trying to figure out how the big house could be transported to the shore, the air cushion made of leather was blown up, and it was good that it was under and around the big house, and then the big house was placed on the water, which was originally made of wood, very light, and with the air cushion, it was floating on the water at once.

Xiaobei and the others got in, pushed open the window and waved at the fishermen who were stupid there.

The fishermen have a small impression of the new officials, and the biggest impression is that the new officials are rich, very rich, and this house is also affordable for ordinary people?

Carrying things indifferently, his eyes look at a big house from time to time, today is considered a long experience, he can actually move the house, and he has to talk to the people in the village when he goes back.

"This brother, dare to ask how much the house is?" A young man among the fishermen, after delivering another small boat of goods, asked the people who were also working on the boat next to him.

"It's not much money, it's not as good as the house that the little lady and the little boy used to use before, the house is not worth more than 100,000 yuan, this is only more than 20,000 yuan, and the wood outside can be bought with 2,000 yuan, and all kinds of bits and pieces at home are not used for 5,000 yuan, and the expensive ones are inside."

This subordinate of the Zhang Wang family glanced at the house and said casually.

"Two, twenty thousand? Pass through? Not a text? Give, give them a place to live? "The questioner's mouth is not good, and 20,000 guan is simply a dream for him.

"Naturally, it is for the little lady and the little boy, this time accompany me to move the things under the house, be careful, don't break it, otherwise you won't be able to leave the house on the shore, and the little lady should be unhappy."

The man said again, look at the empty boat, and pull the fishermen back together, this time it is a big wheel, the balance of mercury device did not bring, the road here is not easy to walk, and it is not necessary to bring it, not to mention that the bumps on the boat are adapted, and it is not bad on the road.

Soon, the big house of Xiaobei and the others ran aground, and a group of little guys jumped directly into the water and swam next to them to cheer for the people who changed houses and wheels.

Smaller than looking at people, the water is not bad, one by one wearing swimming suits, when treading water, most of the chest is exposed, not afraid of the waves pushing layer by layer, so that the fishermen have seen the magic of this new official's home again.

"Change, come on, oops, why don't you move, it's stuck? I'll go down and take a look. Xiaobei shouted and waved his little fist, and saw that the person who swam down to change the wheel carried the wheel and floated up again, and as soon as his head was lowered, Xiaobei plunged into the water.

The person who had just questioned him asked again.

"This is the little lady? She also lives by the sea? Water-based is too good, right? ”

"Well, I was born by the sea, and I can float on the water since I was a child, and the little boy and the little lady said that swimming is good for the body." The descendants of the Zhang and Wang families were not surprised at all, they had long been used to it.

"Oh, if only my baby could be like this, five years old this year, he can only show his head when he treads water, and he is stupid."

The fisherman said enviously, in fact, he was more envious of other people's babies, and when he saw them, he knew that they were not ordinary people.

Everyone was busy for a long time, just unloading two ships of goods, and there were other ships that had not been unloaded, this part had to leave first, go to the state capital to settle in advance, and wait for a little bit to be transported later.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan give the fishermen such a high salary, it is estimated that they are lucky, and they will delay them for at least a month, during this period, the two of them have to find a way to give the fishermen more food, after all, they still have families waiting to make money from fishing to raise.

"I also have to give some oil, they estimate that they can't usually eat any oil, and they don't need salt, and they can cook it if they want to eat it." Seeing that the leading team was sorted out, Wang Juan sat in the car and said a word to Zhang Xiaobao.

"Well, also give them some rice wine, as well as seasonings, let them go back to make fish to eat, this time is a breakthrough for us to open up the people's feelings here, even if we pay more, as long as other people see it, we can achieve certain results."

Zhang Xiaobao is most worried about the problem of getting along with the locals, the people here are not people who came from Shandong or even Henan and Hebei later, it is very difficult to speak, the court basically does not send people to be officials, only to find an official in the local area, especially the Governor's Mansion, it is also moved again and again, the closer it is to Hebei, not because it is not difficult to govern.

Not to mention the exclusivity of the place in this era, that is, at that time, if you look at the counties in Yunnan, they are generally locals, and outsiders have not been able to command them at all in the past.

Wang Juan also knew that this official was not good, the population was already small, and he couldn't be mobilized again, and he could only stare at ten thousand good ideas, which was a really challenging position.

asked again: "Xiaobao, if you say that this handover, will there be any problems, for example, the other party has obviously embezzled a lot, but he doesn't take it out, we can't arrest them and escort them to the capital, right?" I guess they don't have enough money to pay for this journey, poor place. ”

Zhang Xiaobao also deeply sympathized with this, "Indeed, there are also people who have inquired with their fishermen, the officials here are actually poor and exploited the fishermen, come to order shellfish and dried fish, and it is sad enough to be an official, forget it, we will hand over directly to the place, and we will not check, it's a big deal, let's fill the hole ourselves, there is not much money." ”

The two of them discussed, the team began to gradually accelerate, the speed just came up, and it slowed down, the road in front was full of hills, there was no usual road to go, from this seaside to the capital of Jili Prefecture, the straight-line distance is seventy or eighty miles, if you are fast, it will not take an hour to run.

But in such a terrain, no matter how fast the horse is, there is no road, walking on the mountain road that makes people feel that they can fall down at any time, Xiaobei and others have already come from the house, and the horse pulling the cart has also stopped to rest.

Zhang Xiaobao held a telescope in his hand, stood on the top of the hill and looked around, and said: "This is really difficult, if you want to turn this place into our Dalian at that time, it is estimated that it will not be enough to throw all our family's money in." ”

"We also had a lot of mountains in Dalian at that time, digging little by little, there were many roads to be built on the hills, there were big slopes, or don't expect to build it like it was at that time, how many people were in Dalian at that time? Find a way to build a good dock here, and then we can get everything along the line safe. ”

Wang Juan has lost confidence in this place, this is not like Baoxin County, you can build as you want, you can still have a tourist place, spend money to hire people here, people may not be willing to come, the population of a state is not as large as a county, the previous methods are not available.

"Let's go, move on, I don't believe it yet, and I want to develop this side even if it's foreign trade."

Zhang Xiaobao has not come up with a good idea so far, and wants to engage in local construction like Shuzhou, but he can't afford it, and the population will not be large.

"Don't you have to go, foreign trade, who to trade with? There are not many resources here, but it occupies a good place near the sea, there is a lot of limestone, and it cannot be used so much, unless you tell others the recipe for cement, and then let others build a cement yard, and we provide raw materials. ”

As Wang Juan spoke, she walked forward first, she didn't expect to build a prosperous place here.

Zhang Xiaobao frowned and followed behind Wang Juan, feeling very helpless, when he came, he thought that he could take some means to develop the local economy first, but now he has given up.

Fortunately, the purpose of this side is not to build a local economy, but the sea area here is good, you can build a dock, build a big ship, and prepare for the future, other places such as Shandong, Fujian and Zhejiang, good is good, but people also have their own docks, and the impact on the local area in the past is too great.

In the future, you can't send a ship from Luzhou for something, it's too far, and the people who come with the ship in Luzhou are not suitable for the climate here.

"This will one day become a strategic location, I'm talking about naval warfare." Zhang Xiaobao looked back at the blue sea and said firmly.

"I know, this has always been important, and Shenyang, whether it is a land battle or a naval battle, it is a battleground for soldiers, especially Shanhaiguan, where all the two capitals are locked and keyed, and the first pass of the Great Wall is that, guarding the first line of Shenyang, it is stuck in the entire three northeastern provinces.

There is also Jinzhou, which is equally important, because it is suitable for landing and airdropping, and when we straighten things out here, we will occupy all the coastal places. ”

Wang Juan is still very clear about the military status here, but he can't use it now.

Zhang Xiaobao's eyes blinked twice, and said: "Who said that there are three provinces in the Northeast, you can let there be six provinces here, or more, and there must be at least a few provinces on the Mohe side." ”

"I think it's okay, when we have the opportunity, we will go over and help the development of another Chinese nation over there." Wang Juan knew what Zhang Xiaobao meant as soon as he heard it, there is no Russia or the Soviet Union now, and the people over there are still tribes.

The fishermen followed the procession, also whispering about how the new official would govern the place.

They weren't willing to let the people sent from the Datang Capital take care of it, but the people they met were still life-saving benefactors, so they had to change their minds.

The things they talked about were naturally not the kind of world layout that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said that would make people scared to death when they heard it, they just wanted to judge what their future was.

muttering quietly, and from time to time I have to help pull the cart, or push and lift it in the back, which seems very hard.

Until it was dark, the procession did not reach the place, and everyone had to light a bonfire here to prepare for the night, and the sound of wild beasts resounded and echoed in the mountains from time to time.

The fishermen ate a hot meal and had already decided that if the state government yamen let them do things in the future, they would cooperate.

The only thing I was worried about was that because the new officials had money, if they asked for something from various villages, they would not be able to satisfy themselves with a little fish or anything.

Perhaps seeing their concerns, Zhang Xiaobao gave an order to the subordinate in the family, and the subordinate found a few people to come to the fisherman's side and sit there while eating and chatting over the fire.

It's all about what the Zhang and Wang families usually eat, what they wear, and how much money they spend on a meal, but it's exaggerated, so that the fishermen know that the money they spend on a meal is as much as they have to earn for a lifetime.

Then he talked about how much business Zhang Wang's family had, and finally reminded the fishermen from the side that the new official would not come to the village to ask for things, because those things were not enough to eat a meal.

At noon the next day, the team finally arrived at the state capital, as expected, there was only a ruined city wall, a very small city, and there were not many people in and out, and they all did not look like they were full of red light, but there were many dishes.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan arrived, the local officials did not know about it, and the imperial court did not send someone to notify them in advance, probably because they felt that the speed could not catch up with the speed of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan coming by boat.

When the procession appeared outside the city, it attracted a lot of attention, and they were all wondering where so many people had come from, and they had brought a lot of things, and even the houses had come with them.

There was no gate at the gate, but only a fence made of thick wood stood on both sides of the gate, and it was not moved for a long time if it was eaten by insects, which meant that it would not be closed at night.

Not to mention the soldiers in front of the city gates, look up at the mud-heaped walls, the battlements on which most of the battlements have been worn away by the wind and rain, and there is no one patrolling the top.

A group of people swayed into the city like this, compared to the road outside, the city is slightly better, at least there are not so many pits, a main street is cleaned quite clean, it is estimated that there is not a special person to clean, from the traces, it is each family themselves to clean the front.

Xiaobei has never seen such a place, and it is even inferior to Yizhou here, and he looked at the various shops curiously all the way, and he has not seen any restaurants until now, only a few small restaurants sporadically.

Xiaobei searched hard, trying to find a place for a candy seller, so that she could buy two to play, but unfortunately, it was a pity that she didn't find a candy seller, let alone someone making cotton candy.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt bored, Xiaobei walked two steps quickly, came to the back of Zhang Xiaobao, stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Xiaobao's clothes and said, "Nothing?" It's poor. ”

Zhang Xiaobao suddenly smiled when he saw his sister's regretful face, picked up Xiaobei, and said as he walked forward: "There will be one in the future, you can eat whatever you want here, and you can build a big amusement park by the sea." ”

"Well, my brother said that there must be one, and my brother is the most powerful." Xiaobei put his arms around Zhang Xiaobao's neck and said affirmatively.

It's just that Zhang Xiaobao didn't have such confidence, so he hugged his sister all the way forward, walked for a quarter of an hour, and finally came to the mansion here.

Fortunately, there is already a psychological farewell, it is estimated that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not frightened by this dilapidated mansion, not to mention the paint on the door, they have begun to drop slag, the copper ring on the door is gone, and even the pier under the Dengwen drum outside does not know who took it away and used it.

There are not so many weeds in front of the door, not because they are cleaned up, but because the weeds are just emerging now, giving people a feeling like a lawn.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaobao nodded resignedly, and said: "Okay, I'll repair it by myself if I live by myself, and then I'll talk about repairing my own house first, come here, go in and ask, where are the officials?" ”

As soon as Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking, two people came out from behind him and entered the broken yamen, and after a long while, they came out, and two people followed them.

As soon as the two sides met, the other party spoke first, "But the new assassin history?" This official is the current assassin history, and it can be handed over immediately, do you need to look at the account? ”

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, and asked people to show their identity to the other party, and the other party was also looking at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who had not joined the army before, but now there is one, I thought it was a very old official, and I sent it over, but I didn't expect two big children to come over.

I don't know what it means, introduce myself, also surnamed Li, now there are more surnames Li here, everyone thinks it's good.

After reading the certificate and knowing that it was not fake, they began to hand over, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were too lazy to ask each other about the matter, let alone check the accounts, this practice made the other party show a look of remorse, and the two of them understood at a glance, the other party felt that the new official might come over to take office after the New Year, and he was afraid of finding out the problem, so he prepared in advance.

It is estimated that the accounts have been done, and the treasury in the house has also smoothed out the money and grain, at least it can match the accounts, if you have known that the new officials are directly sent from the capital, and they do not check the accounts, they will be more greedy.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't put their minds on this at all, it was better to take over as soon as possible, and let the other party be greedy, how much can this poor place be greedy, when it is Shangzhou.

The handover was very smooth, the other party didn't plan to stay in the yamen at all, leading Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to bring the certificate of promotion to the other party, and happily let the family move, this time you can change to a better place, even if it is a county order, as long as the population is large, it is stronger than here.

It only took an hour, and the original Li Tingshi asked his family to prepare their luggage and other things, and left happily, and looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan with a very complicated look before leaving.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan saw a kind of gratitude, a kind of schadenfreude, a kind of pity, a very magical gaze, which could contain so many things.

"I guess he just thought that someone else could do it for him, so he could leave, and he knew what it was like to be poor here, thinking that we couldn't get any benefits, and we weren't adults when we looked at it, so we were a little pitiful, and we were also a poor person."

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the team that was going away and sighed with emotion.

"Yes, if you look at his things, there are a lot of boxes, but I smell a smell of dry goods, it is estimated that it is sea stingers, as well as dried fish and shellfish, and the box full of silver coins has not been found, if there is such a box, it is impossible for two people to lift it easily."

Wang Juan summed it up by what he saw and smelled.

The two of them walked around this mansion while talking, and they will stay here for a long time in the future, and this time they can't stay in less than a year and leave like they did in Baoxin County, and they have to send people to North America, and they have to build docks and shipyards here non-stop, and it is estimated that they can stay for three or five years.

Xiaobei and a group of little guys were also running around in the courtyards of the house, waiting to get tired of running, and came to the front hall with a dissatisfied face.
