Chapter 207: The situation is miserable and the situation is broken

According to the household registration records of the Yizhou area some time ago, there are 4,422 people, and they have not been re-inquired for several years.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan thought they could see novel clothes, but when they met the locals, they found that the clothes they were wearing were similar to what they saw along the way, but they were a little difficult to communicate.

The local people who usually have a lot of contact with the outside are full of fluent official dialect, and Zhang Zhong is praised endlessly.

"How can I listen to what he says like a routine? It should be said that when you meet an official, formalism is unacceptable. ”

Zhang Xiaobao hopes that the other party will really praise his father.

"People don't know who your father is, it's good to talk about clichés, don't offend people, as if there was a mountain here when the Red Army crossed the snow-capped mountains, and when it settles down, go up and see, it's really so cold? Can you freeze people in the middle of the road? ”

Wang Juan took a few deep breaths and found that he was not uncomfortable, and he did not have the altitude sickness he imagined before.

Zhang Xiaobao also looked around, and found that Li Xun, who was standing next to him, didn't know what he remembered, with an excited look, knowing that there was no need to worry for the time being, and then looked at the mountains in the distance, and said:

"The Red Army at the beginning should not have much time to stay, and they had no strength to walk a long time ago, so they were frozen to death on the mountain, the most important thing is that many people don't know how to survive on the snowy mountains, and they can't find such thick clothes, okay, let the tigers have nothing to do to climb up."

The two sides talked to each other in the vernacular, and began to walk towards the mansion, looking at the road under their feet, all the people who came for the first time felt sorry for the locals, even if the mountains were connected to the mountains, it seemed that it should have rained yesterday or the day before yesterday, plus the water vapor here has always been heavy, step on it, and then lift it up, and immediately sink several catties, all of you mud.

Zhang Wang's two older people, as well as the three old men of Bi Laotou enjoyed the treatment of the sliding rod, Zhang Zhong refused to let people carry it, he was usually used to exercising, he found a stick on the crutches, and chatted with the locals all the way, I don't know if he came to organize the logistics, he is also ready to learn about the situation of the locals, so as to help improve life.

The locals just had to cooperate with the answer, and they didn't expect any official to make them live a good life, and generations of people have long been accustomed to such things.

"Wait." Old man Bi sat on the sliding pole, and as soon as the person who carried it was about to start, he stopped it, looked at the big boat docked on the shore, and waited.

"What are you looking at?" When Old Man Yao saw Old Man Bi stop, he also shouted to stop, turned his head and asked.

"Xiaobei, they are still on the boat and haven't come down, Zhang and Wang will not throw the baby away, see how they go?" Old man Bi pointed to the boat and said curiously.

This time the old man also stopped, the three old men waited together, and before waiting too long, the little ones' houses were smoothed down from the boat, but it was different from what they had seen before, and it was not a shelf that was erected off the ground, nor was it a big wheel when they used to travel, nor was it a small wheel that was pushed and played in the yard.

The house has a big chassis, the house is in the middle of the chassis, and there are four people standing on the left and right, and the board that drags the house is something that the three old men don't know, it should be a piece of iron plate connected horizontally, forming an oval chain connected front and back?

In the middle of the chain made of small iron plates is an iron wheel with a groove, and the eight people find their place and sit down, holding the handle with their hands, just like when they saw someone staring at the propeller in the river of Sanshui County.

As the eight people pedaled, the chain turned, rolling forward one by one, and the house also moved in this situation, and when it encountered a small ditch, it was not adjusted, and it rolled over directly, and after more than three old men sliding rods, there was still no barrier to the uphill slope, even if the ground was muddy.

This time there is no dynamic balance, it should be too heavy, not suitable for the current road conditions, the little ones are fixed in the position of the window, curious to look out.

"See? See~ to the end? The best things in their house are all used on the little ones, who has ever seen this thing? If it weren't for the little babies this time, when would they be able to see it? Sure enough......"

Old man Bi saw that when the house encountered a slope that was difficult for people to walk, with the chain turning rapidly, he pointed to the house little by little and said to Old Man Zhang and Old Man Yao.

Old man Zhang and old man Yao nodded blankly, and saw it, the little guys' houses are just a pair of wings, and it is not surprising that they will fly tomorrow with wings, it seems that all the skills of the Zhang and Wang families are reflected in this house, what terrain can not be adapted to in this house?

This is the road is difficult to walk, and the power system can't keep up, otherwise coupled with the dynamic balance, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a god car or a god house.

"It's just a little slower, if only it were faster." Old man Zhang looked at it for a while and concluded.

"That's because of the technology of using a pinion to drive a big gear, so that the people above can save effort, look carefully at the chain, there are thorns on it, it should be specially prepared for muddy roads, keep up."

Old man Bi looked at it, found that the distance was far away, and said hello, and the person who carried the sliding pole took a step towards the house.

It was not only the three old men who were surprised, but also the local people who saw the moving house for the first time, and looked back from time to time while walking, and the more they looked, the more surprised they became.

The soldiers who were also in charge of transporting food and weapons were also frightened by the house, and at the same time wondered if they could make a few more of those things, take down the house, and put the weapons and food on it, so that they would not be as tiring as they are now.

The three old men's sliding rods chased all the way, and finally caught up when the house encountered a narrow place and slowly adjusted, and they also saw Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao following them.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan stood on the slope to direct the adjustment of the direction, but the slope was also muddy, but the two did not slide down.

After the direction adjustment was completed, the house continued to move forward, and the old man Bi beckoned: "Xiaobao, juanjuan, come here, grandpa has something to ask." ”

"It's too strenuous, this chassis can't do it, I have to study it carefully when I go back, when will the tank and bulldozer not turn in the direction? Juan Juan, give you the task of building a gasoline engine. ”

Zhang Xiaobao said to Wang Juan when he walked to Old Man Bi's side.

"No problem, you wait, what is a gasoline engine? I'll make another aero engine, and when the time comes, we'll fly in the sky, do you want a three-stage rocket? Launch a satellite full of satellites to monitor the ground. Wang Juan replied angrily.

"Grandpa Bi, isn't there something uncomfortable? Then I'll get you a doctor right away. Zhang Xiaobao was very wise not to talk to Wang Juan, and came to the front of Old Man Bi to observe the faces of the three old men and asked.

Old man Bi's eyes were staring at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's shoes, and when he heard Zhang Xiaobao ask, he nodded and said: "Well, it's uncomfortable, it's distressing, if someone has something good, don't tell me, my heart is ......."

"Isn't it cold?" Zhang Xiaobao took a sentence and lifted his foot up, "Short spikes, grab the ground well, don't worry about slippery, why don't you go back and make a pair for you?" ”

"What's going on with their house?" Old man Bi really couldn't guess how many technologies the Zhang and Wang families still hadn't come up with, and whether they came up with new technologies or not depended on whether they needed them or not, but they might not need them now, and wouldn't others need them either?

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the house in front of him and was stuck in the place where he turned, and said with annoyance: "The technology is not yet mature, look, stuck, wait until the technology is mature and then find a way to apply it elsewhere, Grandpa Bi, don't worry, this thing is not kept secret by my family, my family only keeps the technology that is not directly related to people's livelihood and national strength secret." ”

Zhang Xiaobao really doesn't have the idea of keeping this chain secret, study it, it is estimated that you don't want to apply it in a short time, first of all, the iron of the chain will cost too much and is not cost-effective, unless the iron smelting industry keeps up.

Old man Bi was satisfied with Zhang Xiaobao's words, his heart was not cold, and he carefully observed Zhang Xiaobao's shoes, "Your shoes have nails in front." ”

"Yes, if there are nails in the back, it will be tiring, it is very convenient to kick the mountain, and when you settle down, I will send you a pair for you to play."

Zhang Zhong didn't care about the family team, so he naturally had people from the inner courtyard to take care of him, and he asked all the way to ask about the local grain harvest, what was missing in his daily life, and also asked about health problems.

Every time the locals answered, Zhang Zhong kept it in his heart, and let his son and daughter-in-law find a way to solve it after he stayed.

Every year, some millet will be planted in a relatively flat place at the bottom of the mountain, and the ground will be opened on the hillside to grow vegetables, and when the year is good, then there will be a harvest, and some of them will be left to eat by themselves, and some of them will be carried out for salt.

The clothes are all made of self-grown hemp, and if the year is bad and it rains heavily for several days, it will be washed away.

The family does not raise chickens and ducks, nor does it raise pigs, they all go to the mountains to fight, and when they come back, they eat the meat, and the skin is made into clothes, or they are also taken down the mountain to exchange for daily necessities, and the others are good to say, that is, the road is too difficult to walk, and there are not so many boats, and there are three boats in the whole place that can go down and come back, and there are people who rely on the water to fish, and the boats dare not go down, they will overturn.

When you are sick, you will stand up first, or find some herbs to eat in the mountains, and few people will go down to ask for a doctor, and there is no money, and it is too late.

If there is no money at home, and they don't buy anything, they just change it, and they can have more food and fur in a good situation at home, so it will be easy for such a person to marry a daughter and take a daughter-in-law.

All kinds of things made Zhang Zhong very helpless, especially the trade method that the locals did not spend money and only exchanged, so he felt that he could not change it.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't put their minds on the construction of Yizhou at all, and when the battle was over, they would have to be transferred elsewhere, and how could they have time to consider people's livelihood in the process of arranging logistics.

What's more, the situation here can't be solved in a short time, unlike Luzhou, which is gone, and rebuilt, it's not like Shuzhou, the original foundation is good, the transportation in this place is not convenient, and the things produced are not valuable.

Especially the ideological problem of the local people, are they really willing to go down the mountain and have more contact with people outside? If they themselves like and are used to their current life, can they still be forced to accept another way?

The road was just when Zhang Zhong was thinking about doing practical things for the people, and Zhang Xiaobao pondered how to arrange the logistics, but fortunately, the yamen of the state capital of Yizhou was not too far from the place where he got off the boat, and perhaps the previous officials also considered the problem of travel.

The capital city of Yizhou is very small, sandwiched between two mountains, there is a small piece of plain terrain around it, a river flows not far from the outside of the city, the adobe city wall is only half a zhang high, it is said to be Guocheng, it occupies too small an area, it does not include the plains, it is said to be the inner city, such a city wall may jump better beasts can not stop.

Standing on the high point, you can clearly see the situation in the city, and the chaotic houses and trees exist in the city, no matter how you look at it, there are no more than 4,000 people inside, and it would be good to be able to live 4 or 500 people.

There was no moat, let alone a drawbridge, and even the gates were made of thick wood, like the fences of ordinary peasant houses, wide open, and there were no soldiers guarding the gates.

There weren't many pedestrians coming in and out, but there were two groups of bare-bottomed babies, with small sticks and bows in their hands, chirping and making noise, probably playing a game of war.

When the team of Zhang Wang and Wang slowly approached the city gate, the little babies were the first to react, and they stopped their movements one after another, a little scared, a little restrained, and a little curious to join this big team in large numbers, especially the team gradually came to the house in front.

"Lord Thorn Shi has arrived, go home quickly, and tell the family to come out to greet him." The locals in the team walked a few steps briskly to the little babies to instruct.

The little babies didn't know what the history of thorns was, only that there was a team that needed everyone to come out to see, and they looked at the beautiful house with good eyes a little reluctantly, turned around one after another, and ran back with a shout in their mouths.

At this time, Yizhou had no history of assassination, only one Sima and a few small officials who were assigned, therefore, Zhang Zhong's appointment was very smooth, there were only six officials in the yamen, two old ones with white hair, one of the remaining four people was lame, and two were big boys who were not fifteen years old at first glance.

There was only one who looked good from the outside, but stumbled as soon as he spoke.

Zhang Zhong held a rusty seal in his hand, and asked the hunchback next to him who was about to turn into a full stop: "Sima Fang, this is the state capital of Yizhou?" How should my family members be accommodated? ”

Fang Sima was very grateful to Zhang Zhong who came, and now that he finally didn't have to be busy with things in the future, he didn't know how much of a mistake Zhang Jianshi had made, such a big family was sent to such a far place.

Hearing Zhang Zhong's question, his whole body trembled and coughed for a while, and he sighed and replied: "What Zhang Jianshi has seen is all the state capital, and the locals divide it into the village, and usually everything is solved by themselves in the village, and there are few people who come to the yamen to do business, of course, the yamen can't call the local people if there is something."

If you want to build a river embankment, then you have to go up to the various stockades to discuss, and when the people are free, you can send a few people to help, and the adults have half of their families, tear down the west wall, repair the house for the adults, and then rebuild a city wall further away after the house is repaired.

I see that there are many people in the family, and I don't want to use the people from the villages, oh, if the adults want to eat some mountain delicacies, send someone to the nearby villages to say, they can still save face, and can send some newly hunted beasts for the adults to taste. ”

Zhang Zhong was speechless for a while, what does this mean? Returning to Sanshui County as a county magistrate is also a hundred times stronger than being a stab in Yizhou, at least Sanshui County can see the officials running at any time, and the current six people are ready to retire.

After putting himself into the position of Yizhou Thorn History, and after savoring it carefully, Zhang Zhong reached out and patted Fang Sima on the shoulder, and said, "Sima has worked hard. ”

Fang Sima's eyes were red with emotion, it was not easy to finally come to someone who could understand his difficulties.

Zhang Zhong sighed for a while, what should be done has to be done, at least the house must be repaired, otherwise where to live? Fortunately, his family was different from other officials, and he brought a total of eleven people from the yamen out and ordered him to go down, and the people of Zhang Wang's family were busy.

One tent after another was erected, and groups of people went out, some were responsible for repairing the road to the river, some went up the mountain to cut down trees, and the men of Team Zero were divided into half, holding crossbows in their hands and throwing short guns at one time at their waists, and went to the commanding heights around to stay, and observed back and forth with binoculars.

The families of Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao also came to help, and everyone understood that they could not count on others at this time, and the people of the village did not listen to the propaganda.

The chef of the Zhang family also dug pits and cooked pots, and everything seemed to be in order.

Now not only the eleven people in the yamen, but even the people who watched the excitement were also moved, they didn't know what literacy was, they only knew that the people brought by the new officials were not ordinary, and they didn't need to be specifically instructed by anyone at all, they were looking for their own work to do, busy but not chaotic.

The people in the village have to wait for others to arrange things before they can do it well, and this large group of people has settled down under their noses, what is the new official doing? Generals who fought wars?

Everyone else is busy, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are idle, the people of the two families don't need their command, they can quickly take over the strength of all positions in the Luoyang capital, if this little thing is not done well, it will be a shame.

Originally, the two of them were going to draw a military map of this place, but when they saw that there was no place to live, they decided to wait until it was stable for two days, and there was no need to fight here.

All you need to do now is to get on good terms with the locals, even if you don't plan to stay here for too long, and maybe you can use it later when you organize logistics.

Under the protection of a dozen guards, the two men called the seven little ones out of the house and prepared to take them to the people, where candy and salt were ready.

Liu Er, Xin'er, Weiwei, and Xiaoman also joined in, Li Xun wanted to join in the fun, but was arranged to rest immediately to adapt to the weather as soon as possible, there was a doctor guarding next to him, as long as Li Xun was a little uncomfortable, he had to be treated immediately.

When they arrived at a new place, the little ones seemed a little frightened, and when they saw their older siblings nearby, they regained their old liveliness, holding hands and running behind their older siblings.

The little babies who were playing near the city gate before saw a group of people coming out of the team, including smaller ones, they were full of wildness, and they also forgot to be afraid, and they also greeted them, very close, and looked at this group of people curiously, especially the clothes worn by Zhang Xiaobao and others, which made the little babies envious, even if they didn't know anything, they also knew that the clothes were valuable.

"Xiaobei, this difficult task has been entrusted to you." Zhang Xiaobao pulled his sister out and grabbed a handful of candy, which meant that Xiaobei was going to give it away.

Xiaobei has liked this activity since he gave the big man and the little boy two wave candies, and he often gives things to others in kindergarten, and his popularity is the best.

Looking at the candy that her brother took out, she immediately knew what to do, stretched out her two little hands together, and trotted to the group of little babies who were older than her with the candy, and the little babies were really not afraid.

"Sugar, please ~you~you~eat~ sugar!" Xiaobei raised her arm, raised her little face, and invited seriously.

The little babies are really not as afraid of things as the children of other people, and when they see this little bit giving things, even if they don't understand what she says, they also know that the things in their hands can be eaten, because other people who haven't come over there are eating.

The person closest to Xiaobei took a piece, peeled off the skin like Zhang Xiaobao here, put the contents into his mouth, tasted the sweetness, his eyes narrowed, and the candy paper in his hand was also very cherished and flattened, carefully pinched in his hand, with a happy look.

Other babies also came over to get the candy, one piece per person, and when the sugar in Xiaobei's hand was almost the same, no one came to take it when there were still two pieces left.

Xiaobei who gave something out was very happy, and wanted to eat a piece when he saw others eating, so he hesitated and suppressed this thought, his brother and sister didn't let him eat more, he had already eaten two pieces on the way just now, and he could still eat two pieces today, so he had to stay at night.

When Xiaobei, who had given the sugar, turned around and was about to leave, the little baby who had eaten sugar before stopped Xiaobei, and at the moment when Zhang Xiaobao was ready to respond at any time, the baby took off a necklace around his neck that he didn't know what to tie and put it on Xiaobei's neck, and then smiled kindly at Xiaobei and let Xiaobei leave.

"What is this? Just put it on my little shell's neck? Eh, the rope is full of sludge, how long has it been since I took a shower, this is ...... Tooth? Little treasure, look, what animal teeth. ”

When Xiaobei came back happily, Wang Juan pulled closer to carefully look at the thing that was on Xiaobei's neck, and complained in a low voice.

"It should be a wolf's teeth, if you can't get it or the teeth of the wolf that the child killed himself, set a trap to kill, I don't believe he can kill the wolf when he faces the wolf, and he has to wear it when he buries it, don't you see people staring at us, I really took it down, and it is estimated that this friendship will end."

Go back and wash it, Xiaobei will be our image ambassador in the future, hold her, others will see the things on her neck, and they will be more kind when they think about it, send the salt over, a baby is half a catty, they naturally know what to do. ”

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the ornament, said hello, and the guard next to him sent the half-catty bag of salt over, with Xiaobei's public relations, the little baby over there was not afraid of adults, and curiously took the small bag that couldn't see what was inside, opened it, and after pinching it out with his hand and tasting it, his face showed an expression that was more surprised than eating sugar just now.

A person who lives by the sea, let alone give him half a catty of salt, even if he is given half a ton, he will not feel anything, especially in areas where salt is used, there is no shortage of salt.

For the people here is different, there is well salt in Chengdu, but the good well salt is not for the local people to eat casually, it is used to sell money, the well salt is compared to sea salt, the same follow-up process is done, the taste is also different, much better than sea salt, the price is also high.

There is no salt well here in Yizhou, where to get so much salt to eat, the little children have tasted the salt, and found that the taste is much better than before, and those who are smart will immediately know that if this small bag of salt wants to be exchanged for fur, at least five good sheepskins must be taken out.

The salt in exchange was not comparable to the salt in their hands, the salt in their hands was white and fine, and there was no bitter taste in their mouths when they ate it, and they didn't know where they found it.

The little babies are not like adults, they also know that some things cannot be collected, and they are reluctant to return other people's things even if they understand that they can't ask for other people's things for nothing, and they can't go home and find other things to exchange for each other.

The clever little baby said a few words to the others, held the salt bag tightly on his chest and ran home, and the other babies didn't dare to stay outside longer, for fear that the salt in their hands would be gone, and they also ran home.

Seeing them leaving, Zhang Xiaobao was relieved.

"This saves a lot of trouble, let them do things in the future, exchange materials without worrying about them being so vigilant, the first step of the Long March has been completed."

"Yes, during the Long March, over there, in order to be able to have a good relationship with the local people, our army also thought of a lot of ways, but it was not easy, should we invite the locals to have a meal with us for a while?"

Wang Juan took off the necklace around Xiaobei's neck, it was too dirty, and he had to wash it several times when he went back.

"If you don't use this meal, they may not be able to eat it, and it's easy to find a way to let them work together, and then invite them to dinner with a contact and an excuse."

Zhang Xiaobao really doesn't want to deal with ethnic minorities in this way, mainly because he doesn't know the beliefs and rules of the other party, and he may do something wrong with good intentions, such as inviting Muslims to eat pork, no matter how good you do, it's looking for trouble.

It would be nice to have someone who introduced the local customs first.

When Zhang Xiaobao returned to the team, the three of them put down their clairvoyance, looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, well done, what is this called." ”

"This is called children's diplomacy, if people have lady diplomacy, we will have children's diplomacy, and children will always be the constant theme of life, representing the continuation and hope of thought."

Zhang Xiaobao was in a good mood, explained, and used a new term.

"What's the deal with Madame's diplomacy?" Old man Bi had a shameless expression.

"It's to send out the daughter-in-law to chat with other people's daughters-in-law, the wives of the family have such skills, they are tired and don't want to eat, just drink some soup for a while."

Zhang Xiaobao walked all the way and was thinking about how to dispatch grain and grass, plus the road was muddy, he was really tired.
