Chapter 115

With the successful birth of the first child, another ten days later, two more children were born, all of whom were safe and sound.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan saw that there was nothing wrong with the children in the first family in front of them, so they were relieved, and the two of them took Li Xun and a bunch of people up the mountain again, and the training could not be stopped, this was also the last time the two of them took the people of the seedling protection team up the mountain, waiting for this time to teach them the general theoretical things, and they would let them come over to strengthen their training in the future.

In order to let them learn more things, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan decided to find some good hunters in the mountains, and let them learn from the hunters when the time comes.

With the departure of the two people, the Zhang and Wang families suddenly became a lot less lively, and even the three dogs were taken away by the two people.

The days should go on and on, Zhang Zhong is not with Zhang Wang's every day now, Zhang Wang's family has basically stabilized after the first three months, after all, he has given birth to a child once, and his mood is also very good.

Zhang Zhong put most of his energy into the construction of this place, don't look at the 15,000 people here, because the place is large, a lot of infrastructure construction has to be done non-stop, especially after having cement, individual places that are prone to danger are reinforced with cement.

Every day, the thing that made Zhang Zhong feel happiest was the moment when he passed by the place where there were three people, Cao and Rui, who had almost made a lot of dung now, but they had not yet gotten rid of the situation of hard work.

Zhang Zhong didn't know what the three of Cao and Rui were paying attention to, but he knew that the three of Cao and Rui definitely didn't have any good intentions, since this was the case, it was impossible to leave important things to the three of them to do, even if the three of them were very experienced in dealing with many things.

Cao and Rui have now also found out that they were deceived by Zhang Zhong, and none of the things they said at the beginning have been done until now, to be precise, they changed their words, and let the three of them start to suffer here.

"Should I talk to Zhang Zhong about it, if it really doesn't work, I won't do it and continue to go back to do my own thing."

Jiang Wanshi really can't stand the current work, that is, to get water in the ground, this job looks simple, take a shovel, and then see where water is needed, just get some in, but it is very difficult to do it.

Don't look at the heat of this place, but the water is cold now, you need to stand in the water often, where have they done such work before, after a day, when they sleep at night, they feel that their stomachs are cold, he suspects that after working in such a place for a long time, he can't even walk in the future.

Fortunately, they had some warm wine to drink every day, which allowed them to be a little better, and when they returned home in the evening, they drank some vigorously, and the next day they came out in a daze and continued to do things.

Therefore, he felt that since this was the case, it was better not to do it, but through such a method, Zhang Zhong could not be allowed to hand over important things to himself and others.

Cao Herui shook his head, he had different ideas, looked at the two of them and said: "I think we should continue to do it, since others can survive, we can also persevere, don't look at what we are doing now, but we have done a benefit, that is, it makes Zhang Zhong more relieved."

Since the day Zhang Zhong came here, he has been at odds with us, but unfortunately our ability is not as good as his, and he has been pressed by him.

At this time, we are no longer a judge, our identity is gone, and the work we do is the hardest and most tiring, and we will have to shout more in the future, so that Zhang Zhong will gradually forget the three of us, and when he suddenly remembers, he will feel that it is not interesting to fight against us all the time, after all, we are too weak.

This time may be longer, but it won't be too long, and after two or three months, Zhang Zhong hasn't let us go, so he pretends to faint to the ground while working, as long as he achieves the goal of not paying attention to us, it's worth it, can't he hold on to it for two or three months? ”

As soon as Fan Cambodia Xi and Jiang Wanshi heard Cao Herui's words, they nodded at the same time, this idea is really good, paralyze Zhang Zhong, let Zhang Zhong underestimate them, and then see how Zhang Zhong treats them, maybe then it will be their chance.

The three of them agreed on this issue.

In fact, if they don't have to adopt such a method, Zhang Zhong won't pay attention to them now, how can Zhang Zhong have so much time to focus on them, and others will take care of things in the future, Zhang Zhong is busy with himself, and the three of them don't want to wait for Zhang Zhong to change his mind about them.

Recently, some people from the surrounding states have come to yearn for a good life in Luzhou, most of them are mountain people, and the life on the mountain is not easy now, mainly because there is a sharp contrast with the life of the people here in Luzhou, and there are already a lot of mountain people here who can communicate with the local people.

If it weren't for Zhang Zhong coming here, if it wasn't for a big disaster, it would take a long time for the mountain people and the people to live together, but so many accidental things came together, so that a unique phenomenon of unity was formed here.

One after another, the mountain people came down, and directly asked the people in the clan or tribe who could speak this way to find Zhang Zhong and ask about work and housing.

After Zhang Zhong found out about this situation, he seemed very happy, and he had to stay in a fixed place for a period of time every day, so that those mountain people would have a fixed place to find Zhang Zhong, and they would now recognize Zhang Zhong as a person, come down from the mountain, and then wait in a bush next to the place where Zhang Zhong had to go every day.

Even if Zhang Zhong's people are here, they will not expose it, let alone come over to say anything to these individuals, only when Zhang Zhong arrives, they will send someone to discuss with Zhang Zhong, and make a little request, in fact, their request is very simple, that is, to ask Zhang Zhong if he can do what he said on the notice and what the mountain people usually say.

Every time the mountain people who came down from the mountain would be very happy after getting Zhang Zhong's approval, they would follow Zhang Zhong to the houses that had been built, and after a little resettlement, they would do things immediately.

Through these observations, Zhang Zhong found that the mountain people were more active in their work than the local people, and they would take the initiative to ask for work without too many incentives.

It turns out that when the mountain people live in the mountains, they basically have to do things every day, otherwise they will not be able to feed the tribe or the people in the tribe, and their status in the tribe or tribe depends on how much each person can do, and the person with the highest status is the strongest person in the tribe and has some experience.

Then there are those individuals who can communicate with the people under the mountain, and then there are the people who do the most work, this work actually refers to hunting, and they don't know how to farm, after all, the terraced fields are not yet mastered by the mountain people, and as for the firewood for making firewood, such things are not done by men, but by women.

There are also some women in the mountains who also have a high status, that is, they have more children, one is because more children can make the tribe stronger, and the other has so many children, especially boys, who will be a lot of force when they grow up, who dares to bully their mothers?

After Zhang Zhong learned about this situation, he also agreed to the request of those mountain people who had just settled down and were about to devote themselves to work, and arranged some work for them to do.

Half a month has passed, and more than 600 people have come from other prefectures one after another, and the mountain people are much more than those who have come, nearly 3,000 people, plus the original more than 36,000 people, a total of about 40,000 people, this population is already quite a lot.

Later, the mountain people were not familiar with farming, Zhang Zhong thought about it for a while, and did not immediately let these mountain people be responsible for cultivating the land, the latter was to grow grain, but let them go to the mountains to hunt, or collect some wild fruits and other things.

In this way, the people who used to do such work were liberated to farm, and those wild fruits were to be made into wine, or made into some dried fruits and sold, and the same was true for the things harvested from hunting, which belonged to the mountain treasures and would be sent to the restaurant.

This is also something arranged by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, the two of them have invested a lot of money in Luzhou, they can't go on like this, they need to get some books, otherwise, it will affect the development of the local area, so that the local people will not be able to adapt to the life they leave in the future.

The people actually know this, although they think that there is no shortage of money in the family of a good official, but it does not matter whether they are short of money or not, the important thing is that they and others cannot bear the benefits in vain, they are all people with hands and feet, let an official support them, and the people can't do such a thing.

This is the backbone of simplicity, so that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan from the beginning of the surprise to the later things, changed some ideas, this is really much stronger than the people they were at that time, there were many people who didn't work at all, with the development of the country, the welfare has also improved a lot, some people who are obviously rich also take advantage of various means, compared with the people here, it forms a stark contrast.

Ning Thorn Shi of Qinzhou has been trying to find a way to deal with Zhang Zhong, but now he really can't spare his hands, the population is too small, and there is too much land to cultivate, in order to ensure the position of this Thorn Shi, he has to arrange some individuals in his family to farm the land.

Not only the people in the family, but even the local soldiers have put down their weapons and picked up the tools for farming, as for whether this matter can be impeached, he can't control, as long as there is no problem with the cultivation of grain, then he is not afraid of the impeachment of using troops to farm the land privately, and food is the most important thing.

"Master, if it goes on like this, it looks like the land here will be planted this year, so we don't have to worry about blaming it above."

After seeing that the patches in the field were planted with various crops, the housekeeper looked very happy and said to Ning Tingshi.

Ning Tingshi also breathed a sigh of relief, these days he has to run out and look around every day, he really takes this matter to heart, as long as a few days later, waiting for all the things that should be planted, he can free up his hands to calculate Zhang Zhong.

"Okay, the fleet over there should be off again, right? Don't enter that bay this time, go ashore directly in Lianzhou, it's a big deal to work hard, Zhang Zhong, I must avenge this revenge. ”

Ning Tingshi urged the horse under the seat to continue to wander, said a word to the butler, looked at Lu Zhou's side, gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words of revenge from his mouth.

The housekeeper nodded violently and said: "What the master said is that Zhang Zhong can't go over there, wait for another two months, after our fleet comes, there will be a lot of things that can be sold for more money, find a way to discuss with the surrounding state capitals, let them not buy the goods shipped by Zhang Zhong's side, and see how much money Zhang Zhong can make here?"

After all, the master has been here longer than Zhang Zhong, and the foundation of our Ning family is here, and he is familiar with those individuals around him. ”

The housekeeper also has a secret hatred in his heart, the last time he came over the two ships, one of his relatives was punched a few times when the boat was slightly blocked, no one thinks about this matter, a working subordinate, hit and beat, how can anyone pay attention?

But for the housekeeper, he couldn't swallow this breath, the relative's sister stayed on his couch all day, and after seeing his younger brother, he saw that his younger brother was beaten, and when his sister naturally stopped doing it, he first served the housekeeper when he was fine, and then began to blow the pillow wind.

In order to make himself look more like a man, the housekeeper agreed to a lot of things, hoping that this woman could serve herself more comfortably.

Ning Tingshi also knew about the housekeeper, he didn't say much, in fact, he couldn't manage it at all, the Ning family is such a big family, the same thing has gone a lot, don't look at him now as the assassin of a state, and he is also the current patriarch, but if there is really something, he doesn't say it so much, and there are many people who can *** him.

This time, I got a few big boats from the Yellow River, and four of them have already been loaded, and it should have been nearly a month since they came out, and another two months, and I believe that those individuals can get to the place as long as they work hard to row the boats.

These boats were not bought by the Yellow River Boat Company, there were no boats there, they were found from Kaifeng, and the boats that came over were not only the four of their own families, but also the boats of some other people who also saw the business opportunities here, and these boats formed a large fleet and came to this side.

Ning Shushi was looking forward to them being able to get to the place quickly, he had already planned that if he continued along the seashore here, there would be more local land production to be harvested, but he was ready to lure those individuals to Luzhou, and his own boat would go ashore in Lianzhou, and then arrange for people to go to these individuals' boats, under the banner of the Ning family in Qinzhou, into the bay.

In this way, as long as the dock in Luzhou still collects money and intercepts the goods, Zhang Zhong can provoke people who should not be provoked, a person may not be afraid of Zhang Zhong, but these individuals gather together, they will keep making trouble for Zhang Zhong, if Zhang Zhong counterattacks, then there will be a lot of enemies, if it is a concession, continue to find more people to come.

Let's see what happens to Zhang Zhong then? If you continue to retreat, the business here will eventually be taken up by others, Zhang Zhong has worked hard for so long, and his family has taken out money, and in the end, he may lose all his money, which can be regarded as revenge on Zhang Zhong.

Thinking of these things, Ning Tingshi couldn't help laughing, and the housekeeper next to him was inexplicable.

"I've already thought about it, since I can't get the tea and cement recipe directly, let someone else get it, it's nothing without the recipe, as long as Zhang Zhong can't keep the recipe at that time, write to them and say, they still don't believe it, don't they see the cement in the capital?

Well, then let them come and see the things here, especially the wharf, and the road made of cement, I don't believe they are not tempted, and when they come, they will let them drink the tea we bought from other merchants at a high price, don't they say that only the tea in the capital can make that effect? When they get a taste of the tea, what do you think they'll do? ”

Ning Tingshi explained to the housekeeper with a puzzled face, and asked the housekeeper again.

The housekeeper immediately continued: "Then they will know, it is not a matter of tea, but a matter of this method, as long as there is a method, no matter where the tea can make that effect, even the taste of tea in different places has its own merits."

In this way, they will think about getting that recipe, and the cement recipe, if it is just one recipe, they may find it difficult, so they give up, but there are two recipes are different, they will definitely say one recipe first, if Zhang Zhong disagrees, they will say another recipe, so that there are two recipes to choose, if Zhang Zhongquan disagrees, it is too faceless.

They are not powerful individuals, but they are a group of people, and there are a lot of people behind them, in this way, they will keep saying bad things about Zhang Zhong, and if they talk too much, naturally the people behind those individuals will find a way to deal with Zhang Zhong, no matter how powerful he Zhang Zhong is, he will not dare to go against so many people, right? It's a joy to think about.

Master, you are still powerful, the little one didn't think of such a method, this is called borrowing a knife to kill people, when the time comes, how can Zhang Zhong have the time to take care of us here, we can find a way to make trouble in Luzhou, so that Zhang Zhong can lose more. ”

The two of them had a common topic, and it was a very light topic, at least it could make their mood better, so they began to talk about this topic, it seemed that Zhang Zhong's trouble was coming soon, and then Zhang Zhong was beaten without the slightest power to fight back.

Zhang Zhong arranged some simple things here, and began to talk to the steward next to him about the next fleet, Zhang's ship actually left half a month ago, but after replacing the propellers made by the Ministry of Industry, the speed will be faster than the original, plus it is to resupply once in Zhejiang and Hangzhou, and it will not stop halfway, as long as it will be more than a month to get to the place.

The goods that came this time were not the things that the people of Luzhou needed in their lives, but the goods that could be sold at a medium price, and there were no high-end goods, and there were fewer people who consumed those high-end goods, at least until others could accept it, the Zhang family would not transport it.

These medium goods are sold to those merchants who cooperate with them, and they are willing to keep them for their own use, so they can keep them for themselves, and they can buy more if they can sell them elsewhere at a higher price, which will not be priced immediately now, and they need to let the merchants explore by themselves, and the Zhang family also wants to see the effect, and after knowing the approximate price of the goods, they can price the merchants.

This is also a matter of no way, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are not really immortals, even if Zhang Xiaobao is very sensitive to business matters, it also needs to conduct market research, there are not so many manpower, and the market here also has its own particularity, it is not so easy to research.

I had to ask the merchants to help find the way, see how far the merchants could go, and then adjust according to this.

"Waiting for the fleet to come, you can see some tall seedlings here, the Ning family has not given up, and has united a lot of people to come over to do business together, but is the business here so easy to do? Maybe we can let them continue to see places we haven't been before. ”

Zhang Zhong stood on the ridge with his back to the field, and said to the steward in charge of the place next to him as he watched the people working hard in the field.

The steward can't actually manage anything these days, the people don't need him to take care of it at all, they are all consciously working in the field, all of them are very hard, what the steward needs to do is to organize the people who cook, and at the same time see that the person in the field is tired and still strong and does not rest, then let people pull it out to rest.

The land can be planted a little slower, but people must not have accidents, people are the most important.

After hearing the master's words, he nodded his head and said, "Master, they are here, what if there is a conflict?" The Ning family must not have any good intentions. ”

"We don't have to worry about this, let Xiaobao and Juan deal with it when the time comes, and they should come back in a few days, the business belongs to it, I believe Xiaobao and Juan Juan can do it well."

Zhang Zhong is not in a hurry at all, he believes that his son and daughter-in-law, the two little babies seem to make things incomprehensible when they get it, and after they understand, it will be another matter.
