Chapter 148

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have something to do now.

"Is it curiosity, or is it because of the environment?" Wang Juan put forward two points, the former is easy to understand, and the latter is to adjust the environment around children as much as possible, and keep creating accidents, whether all children can have active analysis and hands-on awareness.

"Then add toys to it, and see if they can still find a way to make some kind of change on their own, yes, just change, and take the bell from the door to the rope, if the first time is accidental, the next three times are impossible.

And you see they know that shaking can make the bell ring, so they work it, they may not know the principle of the bell ringing, but they can observe, very good, just let them shake, maybe they will learn to work hard in one direction at the same time.

Make a small swing, be short off the ground, wrap it thicker, and watch them climb up to play, knowing if they are pushing hard at the same time. ”

Zhang Xiaobao doesn't know what a child of such a big age can think about, but he knows that thinking is sometimes a habit, and since the four little guys have shown it, they have to be cultivated well.

Li Xun also got down from the ladder at this time, and said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan: "It's really a god, I can even think of putting the bell on the rope to make a sound, it's amazing, maybe the people of your two families are naturally powerful." ”

Zhang Xiaobao smiled, pulled Wang Juan and ran back, one was to let his parents come over to see, maybe the four little ones hadn't played enough, and the other was to make other toys.

"I think we should make a simple little maze and let them play with it, and then make it a little more complicated when they can find the right way every time, and they will slowly get used to it." Wang Juan proposed.

"Okay, go back and let people do it, the playground is not good, it's too big, and it's not suitable for children to crawl around, you should also design a door, make a password lock on the door, use a big ball as a password, as long as you pull the circle in order, you can open the door, first three, and then gradually increase, let them play."

Zhang Xiaobao was originally going to put such a game out when the four little ones were one or two years old, and it seems that they should take it out now.

He really doesn't know if it's good genes, or the usual environmental influence, or nutrition, let alone him, even if he is looking for a scientist who specializes in babies, he can't figure it out, it's too complicated.

When the mothers of both sides ran to see the little baby, the two of them went into their own house and began to design.

Two days later, a new toy was made.

At this time, the people sent by the imperial court to replace Zhang Zhong also arrived, and more than a dozen came at once, and a few of them were idle posts that had not been arranged before.

These dozen or so people may have been instructed by the people behind them before they came, so they were very polite to Zhang Zhong, in fact, they couldn't help but be polite, when they worked hard all the way to the place, the scene they saw shocked their hearts fiercely.

It's so beautiful, being an official in such a place, it's the same as a fairyland, Lingnan, even if you already know that the construction here is good when you come, you can listen to it, when you really see it, it's another mood, and there is a big gap between what they thought in their hearts when they came compared to reality.

The arrival of the replacement official also means that Zhang Zhong is leaving, Li Xun will not continue to stay here, clean up, Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi also quietly got on the boat at night, and then slowly left the dock.

Zhang Zhong had experienced a parting, and he didn't want the people of Luzhou, or the people of Wulei County, which was closest to him, to line up to see him off like the people of Huayuan County at that time.

But the morning after they left, the local people found out that the people in the yamen had changed, and immediately quit, and asked where the new assassin had gone.

The people of Luzhou don't care about the new officials, to say something unpleasant, it's really simple for them to clean up the new officials, and directly let their children in the army come and arrest people, and others have nothing to reason with.

The mountain people will not stop it, they recognize Zhang Zhong more than the local people, in their eyes, only Zhang Zhong, there is no emperor, Zhang Zhong said to take them to rebel, they will also nod in approval, especially the child of a mountain man who also followed the boat, that is, Zhang Zhong's righteous son, godson, so that the mountain people recognized Zhang Zhong more and more.

The new assassin was frightened, he encountered such a situation for the first time, he had been a county magistrate before, he had been a judge, and he had never seen the people of any place love an official so much, and today he was a long insight.

The folk customs are really different, and in desperation, he can't care about the dignity of the assassin, so he told the matter from beginning to end, looked at the residence he just enjoyed for a night yesterday, and offered to find a house to live outside.

The people are reasonable, they didn't let the new assassin find a house elsewhere, the good official family is rich, not to mention that they also hope that the new official can treat them like a good official, after some discussion, an agreement was reached with the new assassin, as long as the new assassin can do things like the original Zhang Tingshi, the house can live.

If one day you have bad thoughts, such as embezzlement, bending the law or something, then ...... It's not just a matter of not being able to live in a house, it's a matter of whether you can go back alive.

Knowing that the good official was gone, the people seemed very lost, and later the new assassin Shi gave the idea to ask the people to write a list of the people and send them to the capital.

The people of Luzhou were happy now, let people find a long silk cloth, those who can write, those who can't write press their fingerprints, and even the little baby left a fingerprint with the help of adults, rolled into a big bundle, and let people carry it to the Chamber of Commerce here.

There are also businessmen from the next state in the Chamber of Commerce, after knowing the situation, they also followed to write their names, what they wrote was different from the people, they were going to give Cheng Yi, write a name and write Cheng Yi on the back, the worst is also a hundred times, and the money will be taken out after writing.

There are a total of six state capitals around Luzhou, and there are more than 700 merchants in the Chamber of Commerce, and the sum of all people's money has reached 200,000 yuan, nearly 1.3 million catties of copper coins, and a fleet can't fit it, and the money is piled up like a mountain.

frightened the dozen or so new officials, all the people of Luzhou, 200,000 yuan of money, what did Zhang Zhong do?

No wonder they secretly left at night, if this was known, it was estimated that it would take a few days to send them off, no matter what purpose they reported coming, at this moment they could no longer compare themselves with Zhang Zhonglai equally.

The new assassin Shi really came to Luzhou for greed, but seeing the folk customs here and the harvest after Zhang Zhong left, he wondered if he could get more money if he wasn't greedy, and if he was greedy, it would be easy to take his life here.

He is no longer jealous of Zhang Zhong, and when the gap is too big, he can't be jealous.

What happened in Luzhou was sent to the capital by carrier pigeons one step earlier, and everyone who saw the news was moved, although this was not the first time, but the officials still sighed.

Wan Minbiao, 200,000 yuan of money, and the longevity heirs of the people of Luzhou, Zhang Zhong's political achievements do not need to be evaluated at all, no one dares to give inferior, even medium, otherwise it is easy for the people of Luzhou to make trouble.

What's more, it's not just Luzhou, it's Yaozhou that is close to the capital, and Sanshui County, which had the highest tax in ordinary two states that year.

If it is replaced by someone else who gets 200,000 yuan of belated Cheng Yi, the officials will definitely find a way to impeach, saying that it is a corrupt official, after all, there is too much money, but no one will say so when it comes to Zhang Zhong, how much money does the Zhang family have, the officials have an approximate amount in their hearts, a lot, so much that they can take out 110,000 yuan to build roads for the emperor to play.

It's true that the richer you are, the more money you can get, even if the officials are psychologically unbalanced, there is no way, even the emperor said with a smile, if anyone thinks they have the ability, there are still a few states over there, needless to say that it has been more than a year in the past, and it will take three years to catch up with the current Luzhou, and come back to give promotion.

All the officials flinched, not because they didn't want to be promoted, but because they didn't have that ability, the Zhang family was not a person at all, and this disaster had suffered, otherwise, they might have come back this summer.

Zhang Zhong didn't know a lot of things that happened after leaving, he couldn't say what mood he was in now, he was a little reluctant, and a little worried, after all, it was Luzhou that he had spent countless efforts to build, and he didn't know if the new assassin could treat the people of Luzhou well.

In such a melancholy, he thought of his son and daughter-in-law, since the two baby bumps are not in a hurry, what are he anxious about, I believe that his son and daughter-in-law have already been prepared, well, that's it.

Zhang Zhong looked at the night sky and thought about it like this, thinking about it, he suddenly thought of what his son said at the beginning, the moon rises in the sea, and the end of the world is at this time.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also stood in front of the window of the cabin, looking at the stars and moon in the sky.

"It's so beautiful, I think of another song." Wang Juan said faintly.

"It won't be the stargazing sky of more than 100 years ago, right?" Zhang Xiaobao feels that this song is a little sad, and he doesn't like to listen to it very much, even if he feels a different feeling every time he hears it.

"No, the little baby shouldn't sing that song, what I think of is that there are ~~ countless stars in the sky, and the brightest place ~~ is me, I don't know where I came from, and I don't know ......, Xiaobao, let's go around Hainan Island, right? Good no good? ”

Wang Juan sang two sentences and suddenly asked.

"What? Isn't the Qiongzhou Strait closer? Zhang Xiaobao wondered.

"Ask questions, Shanglian, the end of the world."

"Answer, downlink, cape."

"That's right, I'm going to write there." Wang Juan said excitedly.

"Write about the ends of the earth? If you have this hobby, we can't finish writing when we travel all day, and there are many famous places. Zhang Xiaobao's reaction was not slow, and he immediately knew Wang Juan's thoughts.

"Forget it, next time, I don't believe that anyone is earlier than me, has anyone written in Penglai Pavilion in Shandong? If we keep taking the sea route and don't enter the canal from Zhejiang, we can get there, and then take the Yellow River. Wang Juan said yearningly.

In winter, it is relatively fast to come to Luzhou from the direction of Beijing, or from the direction of Shandong, but when you go back, it will be troublesome, there is a cold current, if you want to be fast, it is simple, that is, move the boat sideways in the direction of the sea for a distance, then you can encounter a warm current.

But Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't want to go around there, not to mention that there were too many unknown dangers at sea, so they had to go against the cold current.

This time, Wang Juan didn't mention going to Shandong, and found a place where he could turn in, and the fleet got in, and after the surrounding land was around, the people on the boat were much more comfortable.

The speed of the people who are eager to return home is also fast, and there are enough supplies on the ship, no one wants to do anything more on the road, and they have arrived in the capital without stopping, counting the days, it has only been forty days, this speed can only be one word for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, slow.

But for people who have never reached such a speed, it is a miracle, there are still ten days before the New Year, enough to go home, and the boat is parked at the dock in the capital.

Zhang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and took what he needed to the palace to find the emperor.

Li Longji didn't expect Zhang Zhong to come back so soon, thinking that he would only arrive after the New Year, and when he was surprised, he had a deep understanding of the propeller and the ship with wheels on both sides.

Half an hour later, Zhang Zhong came out, but he didn't say anything, just asked about the situation he encountered over there, and encouraged him, and it was over.

The big boat can't sit at this time, the river is too shallow, the boat is the same, it's frozen, and the group can only take a carriage to rush back, the people of Zhang Wang's two families want to celebrate the New Year with their own households, this year is fast, and it's a coincidence, I don't know what will happen next year?

Zhang Zhong, who was sitting in the carriage, didn't say anything, and looked very excited when he saw that his face was flushed.

"Husband, but it's not easy to see the emperor?" Zhang Wang, who was sitting next to him, asked out loud.

Zhang Zhong reacted at this time, and said with a smile: "It's not that it's not easy to see the emperor, it's that I know about Luzhou." ”

After telling the situation the next day after he and the others left, Zhang Zhong leaned on the backrest and kept silent, he also listened to what the emperor said, he didn't know why others were officials, but he just wanted the people to live a good life and get the approval of the people, and this time he got it, so he was excited.

Zhang Wangshi was stunned for a while after hearing this, sighed, and said: "It's worth it, the husband didn't help the people do so many things in vain, just have a people's watch, money is not important." ”

Zhang Zhong nodded, didn't say anything more, and the carriage was quiet for a while.

But before Zhang Zhong could digest what he had just heard, when the convoy arrived in Huayuan County, Zhang Zhong's unsubdued mood stirred again.

I don't know who leaked the news, the people of Huayuan County already knew that Zhang Zhong was back, and when the convoy arrived in Huayuan County after five days, it could no longer continue to move forward, and the front had long been blocked by the people.

One by one, they stood in the cold wind, did not speak, and just looked at Zhang Zhong's convoy.

Zhang Zhong picked up the curtain and looked at it, he had a little headache, but he had to go down to say hello.

The moment they saw Zhang Zhong, the people surrounded them in an uproar, greeting one by one, some wanted to ask what Luzhou was like, and some were concerned about where Zhang Zhong would become an official next, and even whether they could offend the current Yaozhou assassin history, they directly persuaded Zhang Zhong to think of some way to return to Yaozhou to be the assassin.

After this scene was seen by people who didn't know the specific situation, they were very puzzled and didn't understand why so many people came here.

After some inquiry, the eyes that looked at Zhang Zhong also became respectful, it was easy to be an official, but after leaving, it was not easy to come back for more than a year, and still be able to get the support of the people.

The people in the cold wind can only speak if they are closest to Zhang Zhong, and the others are quiet, and the seven or eight-year-old baby is also sensible and silent.

Zhang Zhong had no choice, so he found his megaphone again, and shouted to the people around him, which was nothing more than saying that he was very good, and he was doing well in Luzhou, so that everyone didn't have to worry, and then let the people go home more for the New Year, have a good year, and give the people an early year.

The people are actually not going to do anything, they just want to see Zhang Zhong, and when they see that Zhang Zhong's family is fine, they can rest assured, after all, it is cold outside, and they have seen the four little babies who suddenly appeared and were taken back one by one, and they dispersed after saying a word of congratulations.

Zhang Zhong didn't dare to go, and he couldn't go, so he stood on the carriage and watched the people leave one by one, and when all the people left, he climbed down, got into the car, and roasted his hands on the stove and froze.

His hands and face are cold, but Zhang Zhong's heart is warm, he knows that it is cold, isn't it cold when people wait for so long?

"Husband, do you find that being a good official is better than being a corrupt official? Justice is at ease in people's hearts. Zhang Wang's eyes were red, obviously he was also moved just now, even if the emperor came up, it would be impossible for so many people to come here to greet him, unless he sent troops to drive him out.

But his husband just returned home, and the people spontaneously waited, if this is not a good official, what is it?

Zhang Zhong also felt a great sense of accomplishment and sighed: "When I get old, I will say to my grandson, I ...... back then."

"Thanks to this era, if we were at that time, there were really officials who were so loved, then this official was finished, and the love should be given to the leader." Zhang Xiaobao said happily.

"How did I find out that you were always attacking the leadership? They are all servants of the people, servants of the people. Wang Juan has heard Zhang Xiaobao's complaints more than once, and he thinks it's not good.

"Pull it down, don't you blush when you say this? I didn't attack anyone, I just said a fact, this era is good, take advantage of the good time, do more things for the people, and it will not be in vain to go back between heaven and earth.

I plan to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to start the implementation of first-class medical treatment for the people of Sanshui County and Yaozhou, as long as it is a local person, they can see a doctor without spending money, which is called repaying the peach. ”

Zhang Xiaobao said that it was impossible to discuss more things with Wang Juan, after all, there was such a person in Wang Juan's family.

Wang Juan thought for a while and said: "Actually, it has nothing to do with officials, it is a problem of human nature, that is, the people who live in the most stratum of society, you let him become a big official one day, he doesn't know the suffering of the people?" Can he be a good officer? Don't say it, if you want to treat the people of one county and one state, where does the money come from?

We don't care about this money, but the problem is not how much money we have, but why and how this money is paid. ”

"It's simple, it's from the gambling money, we can't control the lottery, but we are responsible for the gambling, we have to have a connection with the local hungry government, and the money earned can be used for medical treatment, this is not a surprising thing, many countries are medical education.

What others can do, why can't we do it, not only these two places, but also in Luzhou, not only the locals, but also outsiders also enjoy the best medical treatment, the wool is out of the sheep, but many people know it, but they have to use the wool produced on the sheep instead of the sheep, and as a result, the sheep are dead, and he has no wool to shear. ”

Zhang Xiaobao doesn't care about any money at all, he is very happy now, happy to be born in this era, when doing good deeds, the resistance is very small, so small that there is no resistance, as long as you don't make good things big and still in your own name.

If you don't emphasize that you have to mention your name, the court will accept it, and really use the money for the people, few people dare to be greedy for this money, it has nothing to do with the law, and there is something called morality.

An official who violates the law does nothing more than follow the law, but if the moral aspect is exposed, then the official will commit suicide.

"You're still lashing, think about it now." Wang Juan heard it, and Zhang Xiaobao seemed to be very dissatisfied with the people in the officialdom.

"Why can't you do it? Now I want to grow up quickly, become the prime minister when the time comes, and popularize compulsory education throughout the country, starting with a four-year-old child, teaching until the age of twenty, and then medical ***. ”

Zhang Xiaobao said his dream, he felt that he was great, and greatness is sometimes a belief that motivates him to complete his ideas.

Wang Juan looked at Zhang Xiaobao for a while and said: "Your goal is good, but everything depends on people to execute, can you ensure that all people do not have any deviations in the process of implementation?"

Also, what are you doing for so long in education? It's enough to be literate, after all, not everyone needs to learn a lot. ”

"Why not? If I could have received a good education since I was a child, I might be able to ...... now."

"You probably won't be here with me right now."

"Then I also want to carry on, the popularization of the whole people, the main reason is that in this way, there are a lot of things that can be passed on, and your understanding is wrong, knowledge does not have to be used immediately, but as an accumulation in life, when you think that knowing words and being able to write is a very common thing, have you ever thought about the desire of people who don't know words?

The simplest example is to put up a notice and you know the words, look up and glance at it, oh, so that's the case, and you leave, because it has nothing to do with you, but you don't know the words? You don't even know what is written on the notice, you have to ask someone.

When you use the simplest method to measure distance, you may feel that it is very year-by-minute, but do you know how many people want to measure how big it is and don't know the pain of the method?

The sky is blue, because we have all learned, this is caused by the different wavelengths of light, but the people of Datang don't know, if you don't explore, then you will live happily and ignorantly, but when someone really wants to explore, he will be very distressed, because it involves too much basic knowledge.

Ignorance is not terrible, it is terrible because ignorance costs oneself or others their lives, at least we know the simple first aid method for carbon monoxide poisoning, you may not use it once in your life, but when you use it, it may save a life.

Knowledge is the common sense summed up by my predecessors, and I must persist in it, and we must popularize education, add various majors, and form a system. ”

Zhang Xiaobao became a little crazy again, Wang Juan had long known about Zhang Xiaobao's illness, and nodded, "I actually support you, but what should you do if your future education offends the thoughts of today's people?" I don't want you to be Bruno, Copernicus is smart. ”

"It's a simple thing, do you know Buddhism? When people started from India, it was not as comprehensive as we later knew, but it was added little by little by later generations, and to what extent, no matter how you question it, people have reasonable explanations.

Then we can take a way to combine the current thinking with the knowledge we want to teach, because the ruling class doesn't really care about whether something is right or wrong, what they care about is whether they can defend their interests.

In fact, all religions are in the service of war, but some people just don't admit it, and people who believe in religion actually understand very well, that is, people who have lost themselves seek external help, and people who do not believe in other people's religions because they believe in themselves.

We give the ruling class a confidence, that is, no matter how we teach, in the end, it is enough to defend the ruling class, this is all a matter of the future, do you say that we can go back and be entertained by the bankers? ”

Zhang Xiaobao finally stopped talking about this kind of philosophical and contradictory category.

Wang Juan heard Zhang Xiaobao say that he was entertained, nodded happily, and suddenly trembled a little bit of fear, and said: "Xiaobao, let's make what we like to eat, I estimate that when we go back to the original Zhangjia Zhuangzi, we eat roast chicken and smoked chicken, and they will definitely let us taste their craftsmanship, I don't want to." ”

"Uh~!" Zhang Xiaobao also reacted, indeed, if he was an ordinary farmer, when he saw the main family coming back, he would also take out the best smoked chicken he made.

It's terrible, it's really terrible, Zhang Xiaobao can imagine that as long as he tastes the roast chicken or smoked chicken made by one family, then other people also have to taste it.

Yes, it's good to eat one of these things once in a while, but you can't stop eating them.

Zhang Xiaobao's face turned white at once, he really couldn't imagine the consequences of eating so many chickens in a row.

Wang Juan's face also changed, and he touched Zhang Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, you are the smartest, imagine a way." ”

"Oh, yes, that's what I want." Zhang Xiaobao agreed very happily, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be facing a difficult problem than fraud.

When the team came to the main store of Shuiyunjian Restaurant, the people of Zhang and Wang who came to Luzhou this time were completely relaxed.

The rest of the place was blocked by ice, but here, you can still see the clear water flowing, and a layer of fog on the surface of the water completely shrouds several restaurants connected by the water and clouds.

This scene has nothing to do with the natural world, and is purely conceived, first shaved ice, then sprinkled with salt on time every day, and then roasted on water with a charcoal brazier.

So the water didn't freeze, and there was fog.

It's the New Year, the three Zhuangzi of the Zhang family, and the Zhuang family of the Wang family, all came back to be lively together, which was the case last year.

As soon as the convoy came out, the villagers who had been waiting there for a long time surrounded them, unlike the people in Huayuan County who asked this and that, basically said hello and began to lift things down from the car.

Not only did the four Zhuangzi of the Zhang and Wang families come, but even the Zhuang of the Ge family and the Zhuangzi came closer, and they haven't seen the main family of the Zhang and Wang families for a long time.

They don't care much about their Ge family, they pay more attention to the Zhang Wang family, a few days ago I heard that Zhang Qiu, the farmer of the Zhang family, was beaten, his bones were broken, and his leg was cut with a big hole, which was swollen as thick as his waist.

I heard that the person who beat Zhang Qiu was a big family in the south, and I was frightened at the time, but later I heard that Zhang Qiu was treated, and the whole family that beat people ran away.

Today, you must take a good look, whether the head of the Zhang family is fat or thin, well, not fat or thin, but it can become black, and the four little ancestors of the Zhang and Wang families, let the little boy and the little lady hold it, chubby, weird and heavy.

Zhang Xiaobao hugged his younger brother and sister, stood next to the car, looked at his home, and did not come back for more than a year, but it felt as if a whole century had passed.

The four little ones didn't know if they had a good idea or if they saw something interesting at the same time, and they giggled together.

Xiaobei kissed Zhang Xiaobao vigorously with her still drooling mouth, Zhang Xiaobao was kissed by her sister, and she couldn't wipe it, so she had to move her brother to this side, and the saliva on her face rubbed on her brother's clothes, and she had to wash it after a while.

When a farmer squeezed through the crowd at this time, and came over with a plate of roast chicken in his hand, the family member, who had already been instructed, immediately began to speak:

"In order to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, in order to celebrate the New Year with the villagers, the main family abstained from meat and fishy until thirty, and the people in the inner courtyard followed suit."

"Oh, there's roast chicken, but unfortunately I can't eat it." What Zhang Xiaobao came up with was the plan that the inner courtyard said just now, if this was not prescient, the family would be finished.
