Chapter 46: Internal Discord (3rd Update, 4th Correction)
Chapter 46 - Chapter 47 There is a growing discord within
The people of the Cao family have not eaten so full for a long time, and they have never eaten such delicious things, they all eat fragrantly, and they drink a lot, and after an hour, they are all drunk and confused, and they keep saying things that they can only understand.
The people of the Liu family were beaten, watching the people of the Cao family eat dumplings, eat good dishes, and drink wine, and when the people on their side were beaten, the people of the Cao family didn't say that they could help, but they were still watching jokes on the sidelines.
"The Cao family betrayed our master, go, go back and tell the master that the Cao family was bought by Zhang Zhong, phew!" The Liu family's popularity said in a huff, he doesn't care about the shrimp fishing here, and he doesn't eat anymore, since an hour ago, he hasn't eaten anything made here, watching people eat dumplings, if he eats that brown rice here, he can't let the people of the Cao family laugh to death?
The people of the Liu family all followed home, and they wanted to tell the master about this, but in fact, what made them most angry was that they didn't eat dumplings, and let the thirty or so people of the Cao family who should listen to them watch the joke on the side.
The people of the Liu family are gone, and the people of the Jiang family and the Fan family are still floating in the water, they have not been ashore for an hour just now, so they watched the people on the shore eat and drink there, and they couldn't hear what the people on the shore said, but they knew that the people of the Zhang family cooked for the people of the Cao family, and beat a person from the Liu family in the past.
At this time, seeing that the people of the Liu family were gone, they didn't even say hello, and the people of the two families were also angry, the people of the Cao family had a relationship with Zhang Zhong's side, and they left after eating, and the Liu family only ate by themselves, and left after eating, so what were the others doing left? Shrimp fishing? Dream it, you Liu family doesn't care, who cares.
"Let's go, let's go too, and tell the master about this." The people of the Fan family began to row back, but the people of the Jiang family didn't say anything, but they did the same, and the wooden raft was rowed to the shore and thrown it, but it was not they who did it, no matter what happened.
An hour later, a fast horse spread the news to the house, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were pondering the weaving machine, both of them knew that there was a weaving machine that was very easy to use, and they also understood the general principle, but when they really saw the loom, they felt a little dizzy.
"This place is a line, there is an extra thing to let the line pass, so the direction of the line is changed, this place is a shuttle, the line is around from that side......"
Wang Juan was squeezing it little by little, muttering there in his mouth, Zhang Xiaobao was even worse at this, and he tried hard to imagine a picture of a loom.
"Xiaobao, it's better to find a few more people to ponder together, I saw the real thing, and found that it was different from what I saw on the picture, I can be a skilled craftsman tomorrow, and it's not too difficult, just give more money, I don't know if the students of the engineering college over there can do it, Zhang Jiuling has a connection over there."
Discuss with the old housekeeper here, help send a letter, in case they have researched something, and don't know where to use it best, let's help the staff. ”
Wang Juan was also confused, she could figure out the human propeller, this loom was a little difficult, mainly because she didn't know the process of weaving, and decided to give her ideas to others and let others set up a topic.
"That one goes and one time, it's two pigeons, it's impossible for you to let the pigeon fly back again, thousands of miles of flying letters, it can be said to be a life-saving thing at a critical moment, you have to give the old housekeeper here some benefits."
Zhang Xiaobao was a little worried that Zhang Jiuling would not agree, and was ready to take some benefits.
Wang Juan thought of the money donated and the contempt of Zhang Zhong's people in Zhang Jiuling's family last time, and proposed: "He still owes us twice, use this to pay." ”
Zhang Xiaobao hurriedly shook his head, "Remember, he doesn't owe us anything, don't mention it, this is a passive favor, unless it is really desperate one day, otherwise just wait for him to think about it himself, we haven't come up with the method of hatching chicks, let's hatch more pigeons first."
It shouldn't be difficult to exchange a little pigeon for his help, he is not the prime minister yet, and when our pigeons are raised and the communication network is built, we will be able to make a lot of money, and we will send urgent news to those who have money. ”
"What about ordinary people?" Wang Juan asked.
"Ordinary people? What's the urgent news for ordinary people? It's useless, for example, you have a student from a poor family who rushed to take the exam, and he went out from here, and the family here has an urgent matter, saying that this person has been away from home for five months, let us send a letter, how to send it?
We usually send it to the family and the merchant, the situation of the family will be less, the family has the means of the family, the merchant is different, open a branch outside, or have dealings with a certain merchant, we send him a letter. ”
Zhang Xiaobao attaches great importance to this carrier pigeon, and he can prepare in advance if he knows some news in advance, especially in terms of making money.
Wang Juan felt a little regretful, when many good things were invented, they were for military service, and then there were the rich, waiting for the rich to have better things, and then it was the turn of the poor, she felt that she should be considered rich now, so she should care more about the poor.
"Xiaobao, do you know how to make the gap between the rich and the poor smaller?"
"I don't know, the easiest way is to fight the landlord and fight the local tyrant, but let me tell you this, as long as the landlord and the local tyrant are finished, they can still live like other people, and no one restricts them, then a large part of them will still become rich and surpass others, unless they can make people's thoughts the same."
Zhang Xiaobao once thought about how to make ordinary people make more money, and found that only those who are unwilling to accept the status quo and dare to take risks can have money, some are more risky, some are smaller, some are not good, and they are unlucky when they take risks, and some are successful, and it is too difficult for people who are content with the status quo to succeed.
Wang Juan regretted a little, "Then forget it, let's live our lives well, we can help others, we are not saviors." ”
The two men stopped studying looms and began to say something philosophical.
At this time, the person who was investigating the situation came and reported to the two men in great detail what they had seen.
Waiting for the people to leave, Zhang Xiaobao smiled.
"Xiaobao, what bad idea did you come up with again?" Wang Juan saw Zhang Xiaobao's innocent smile and knew that someone was going to be unlucky.
"The ideas of the calculators are all rancid, let the kiln sell the remaining jars early tomorrow morning, and then we will start to buy shrimp paste, a jar of twenty catties of shrimp paste, four times, no deposit, no notes, is to publicize this matter, I want to see if people's hearts can withstand the test of money, and in three days, five times."
Zhang Xiaobao walked out as he spoke, and the person who delivered the account came, and he had to figure out the account.
Wang Juan followed behind, she could also help a little, looked at Zhang Xiaobao's back, shook her head, Zhang Xiaobao is really working too hard these days, he has to think about everything, he can talk in his sleep at night, listen carefully to the data one by one.
Waiting for the two of them to come to the study, Wang Juan asked while studying the ink: "Xiaobao, do you hate those four people very much, you have to clean them up once." ”
"It's not hate, there is no specific evidence, but what they did did do it, I mainly treated them as chickens, killed them to show the monkeys, and when Luzhou was built, someone would come to pick peaches, and my father should also leave, and your father, you can't always stay in the position of a loose official in Qipin, and this time I will repay him for some credit."
Even if the court knows that he hasn't made much effort, this face still has to be given, so it is better to give your mother a better fate, the tree lives a skin, and the person lives a breath, my mother doesn't have to worry, even if my father doesn't fight for it, naturally some people are in a hurry, and if they don't raise the status of your family, it will be difficult for you to marry me. ”
Zhang Xiaobao flipped through the ledger a few times and said.
"Who said I was going to marry you, little brat, and you tell me who the monkey is?" Wang Juan pinched Zhang Xiaobao's face and asked.
Zhang Xiaobao's eyes stared at the ledger, and he flipped through it again and said: "I don't know who the monkey is, but I want to let the people who can be monkeys in the future be careful, those who have the ability to stand up, and those who don't have the ability to go back, after being busy in Luzhou, my father still can't enter Beijing, he is still young, what kind of place is this?"
Huaqing County, who does the accounting? What about bluffing fools? Yesterday was fine.,Dare to make a false account for me today.,It seems that some people didn't clean up last time.,Tempted again.,Did you see that the summer was a little restless? ”
"What's going on?" As soon as Wang Juan heard that something had happened, he curiously leaned his head over to look at it.
"It's okay, the river leads to the bay, there are 1,200 people, and 550 catties of food are consumed. Plus the dish is enough, the dish is 600 catties of spinach, a fry will shrink, with seven catties of salt and five taels, this looks a little more, but it is also common, after all, the pickles, the salt and water consumption of the working people's body is large, and we also have special saline supplementation when we usually do not eat.
It costs 400 catties of firewood, which is also very common, he just said that I believe it with 1,000 catties, in case the wind is strong, the firewood is not good, what do you see? ”
Wang Juan will also check the accounts, and after reading it, he didn't find anything else, and the usual water money and wage accounts are another book, which has nothing to do with it.
Thinking that there was a problem with the consumption of another book compared with this one, Wang Juan also found out the account, looked at this place carefully, shook his head, and said:
"There is no problem with this, it is very clear, the difference with yesterday is only within the consistent, I look at yesterday's account, this account is slightly different in the digging place, today dug through this bay, yesterday was still a little worse, but the consumption is the same, yesterday is more than today's consumption."
"It's wrong here, it's a rainy day, and there is too little firewood, right? You also said that it's no problem to use a thousand catties, firewood is not valuable, and I won't say anything with five thousand catties, you look at this account of boiled water, it is recorded separately, compared with yesterday's water, it is less than yesterday's water, and the babies get less wages. ”
Zhang Xiaobao took out a few books and compared them to Wang Juan.
Wang Juan took it and took a look, but still didn't find any problems, and said to the wages of the water delivery baby: "Today is not as hot as yesterday, and there is less water to drink." ”
"How can you eat so much salt, and work hard, and not be thirsty? Over there, Cheng Qidong of Huaqing County is in charge, right? He can be greedy for about two times at one time, and there are not many times, but I can't let him be greedy, as long as he succeeds once, it won't necessarily happen next time, and other people will be lucky when they see it.
How can I have time to talk to them? I can't finish it, I don't know what to think about making fake accounts in front of me? Kill a chicken first and show it to others, for the sake of disaster relief, he organized it better, gave him a chance, and couldn't control it. ”
Zhang Xiaobao's most annoying thing is that the people below are making small moves, for the sake of two money, this is called a good account, and people like Liang Wang Juan can't see it.
Wang Juan heard Zhang Xiaobao so determined, but he still couldn't understand, "How can he be greedy for so much money?" ”
"Because of the amount of work, you look at the progress on the account is the same, according to our estimates, the volume of soil and rock dug out is about the same, but it rains today, the ground is easy to dig, and the place next to the bay is better to dig, you have also seen there, not stones, but sand, how did the manpower pay?
Just like you said, firewood is not valuable, you can boil salt, we pay the wages, he cooks salt by himself, in order to make up for this matter, all the pickles are made, how many people here can calculate the accounts so clearly? You let him try it in Sanshui County, and the people can directly calculate how much salt he is greedy for. ”
Zhang Xiaobao continued to explain to Wang Juan, and at the same time really appreciated this county Cheng Qidong, this ability is really not worth it when used for two dollars.
"Then why didn't he raise the two boils of water a little? Wouldn't it be easier to say that the consumption of salt would be easier to say? Wang Juan asked again.
"He calculated the consumption of other people's cold boiled water, if I'm not wrong, those water babies earn more from other places, and the boiling salt is hotter, and he took out 100 yuan to make up for the water delivery baby."
"The money for boiling water and the baby is divided, and the other person's account is taken."
"Isn't it okay to give some money to the person in this account, the account is recorded by the knife and pen officer of Huaqing County, and he is given half a piece of money, five hundred Wen, I guess he will agree, in this way, Qi Dong has earned about half of it in a day, this person is really unusual, according to the weather to calculate, and he is willing to spend money, if you don't believe it, find a baby who works there and ask it."
Zhang Xiaobao hesitated, talent, for such a little money, calculating so many steps, as long as he is given a broader sky, he will definitely be able to spread his wings and soar, but if he doesn't stop this trend, everyone else learns, he can't spend too much energy just because of such a trivial matter, right?
Wang Juan thought for a while, stretched out his thumb to Zhang Xiaobao, and said: "Comrade Zhang Xiaobao, you really haven't weakened your reputation, so many people want to catch you but can't catch you, it's not luck, you can sweep out so many calculations by scanning the account, I really want to say to that Qi Dong It's not that you are not good enough, but that you have met the person you should not meet in this life."
Just like Song Jinggong at the beginning, count, count, he deceived so many people, but when he got to the small bridge, I don't know if he hesitated when he walked across the bridge, but I know that he walked very slowly, and then there was one less liar in this world, I think, everyone has such a bridge in their hearts.
The bridge between heaven and hell, but how many people can turn back at that time, stay at that time, and not drink that bowl of Meng Po soup, I still appreciate Mi Fan Mi Weitong, and when it was critical, he knew the compromise. ”
Zhang Xiaobao finally understood after listening for a while, and said to Wang Juan: "Do you want me to let Qi Dong go?" In fact, it is okay to put it, there are many ways to put it, for example, my father came here to be an official, except for ordinary people, who would ask to take the initiative to come? This is the place of exile.
You can also use this method on Qi Dong's body, he has good ability, I'm really not afraid of him getting into trouble, I'm going to exile him to the capital, don't think about it, go to Sanshui County to be a knife and pen officer, how about it? There, he tossed around. ”
"Okay, that's it, let's scare him first." Wang Juan is also reluctant to talent, there are not many people who can avoid her checking the accounts, although she is not so patient to check little by little, but after all, she checked, and Zhang Xiaobao just glanced at it.
Others don't know that there are two babies in the state capital talking about someone's life and death, and the sun is still rising and setting, just like the tide, rising and falling, eating when you should eat, and dressing when you should dress.
Cao Herui can be said to be a drop of water in the vast sea of people, when he was trying to figure it out, he might not have imagined that there were many people who would not care if they encountered such a thing as him, and they couldn't imagine that someone had calculated every move he made.
Cao Herui was also very angry when he heard what happened on the beach, and he was angry with Liu Shaoqing, he felt that I handed you over to you, you should treat you well, your own subordinates don't work, let others do it, and don't give anything to eat, who is helping whom? Who wrote the note?
Is it possible to help others and ask others to help? If you Liu Shaoqing is such a strong assassin as Zhang Zhong, then you still said in the past, you came to the door to beg to help others, but you Liu Shaoqing and I are the same, they are all judges, helping you is love, not helping you is duty.
What was done before was indeed that all four people had benefits, and the benefits were divided equally, but what about the debt now? No one said to help others to bear it, and there are many people in the family, and they pay back their own money after making money.
In this case, my Cao Herui's subordinates are not inferior to others, and they will be reprimanded for their help, and they have nothing to eat, but the people who are really anxious are overseers, and there is no such reason.
Thinking of this, Cao Herui became even more angry, and shouted outside: "Come on, prepare the car, go to the house of Si Gong to join the army Liu Jusi, and bring the gift box." ”
The subordinate hurriedly agreed, ran out to prepare, and understood in his heart that the lord was angry, the four families were close together, and there was a cross-courtyard door to communicate, and the lord even put out the car, saying that it was an official position, and he had to bring a calendar box, which was clearly to go according to the official position.
Thinking about it, the next person didn't dare to slack off, prepared a thing, came over to say hello, Cao Herui went out to take a ride, went around in a circle, and came to Liufu in less than half an hour, the purpose of going around is to let people know that he is going to visit, and the other party can prepare according to his identity.
Liu Shaoqing really prepared, the door was wide open, in fact, it was not closed, the two of them came just now, they both did this, Jiang Wanshi and Fan Cambodia also wanted to ask, how to cooperate, not just send people here, do coolies, and then have no food, that is not called cooperation, it is bullying, bullying the people below, it is bullying the master.
Liu Shaoqing has already understood what happened, and beat the subordinate who made the decision privately half to death, but this does not solve the problem, people still think that you deliberately made it to others, isn't it just a bitter trick, how many years ago someone has used it again and again.
Liu Shaoqing naturally knew what the third person who came meant, and personally greeted him at the door, Cao Herui just got out of the car, and hurriedly walked closer, and said with a smile: "Brother Cao must have come because my family can't do things, please come inside, Brother Jiang and Brother Fan are also here."
My subordinates offended all three families at once, and I didn't mention what it was like to beat him, after all, I did a bad job this time, and I hope Brother Cao can understand, Brother Cao should also know, I can't protect your three families, how can I bully him? If you want to die, it's enough to find a rope by yourself, so why bother? ”
Cao Herui didn't come here this time specifically to find awkwardness, but mainly to use this incident as an excuse to let his subordinates do things with the Zhang family, make more money, and pay off the debt as soon as possible.
Hearing Liu Shaoqing say this, he smiled and said: "Brother Liu, I'm not asking for guilt, my subordinates are bullied and can't eat, it's all a trivial matter, well, a trivial matter, I came here this time to discuss the matter of shrimp sauce with Brother Liu."
I think Brother Liu also knows about today's situation, and I don't hide it, Brother Liu, look, this is the note written by the Zhang family, as long as I send out thirty people to follow over there to do things, the final salary will be exchanged for shrimp that can make shrimp paste, and it won't take more than a few days, and the shrimp on Brother Liu's side will be enough.
It usually takes a month to make shrimp paste, and it is said that it is too late, but they Zhang family did not say that they would immediately compensate if they couldn't make it in a month.
Even if there is no reason and don't be afraid, the length of time for this thing depends on whether it is hot or cold, hot, the time is shorter, you can let people burn the fire around the jar and let it stay hot, so that it won't take a month, when the weather was good before, twenty days or so will be fine, what does Brother Liu think? ”
Liu Shaoqing did know what happened today, but he didn't expect it to be like this, and when he heard a useful news, he said happily: "Brother Cao, I'm sorry Brother Cao, I'll beat people to death when I turn around and give Brother Cao an explanation." ”
"You're going to kill me? That's it, Brother Liu will make money by then, but don't look at the fact that we are all in debt. ”
Cao Herui pointed out the most important things.
"Brother Cao, don't worry, I will sell shrimp paste by then, you will be six and I will be four." Liu Shaoqing happily made a share.
