Chapter 189: Shuzhou's tenure was short-lived

Another pigeon in Shuzhou flew to the capital, and this time the champion tower appeared with a new dish of chickens and ducks, plus several simple medicinal herbs.

It seems that eating pork is more useful for the body, and it slightly diverts some people's attention from pork.

Immediately after that, Sanshui County and Huayuan County sent a large amount of pork to the capital, most of which was frozen, and a small part was pigs.

On the morning of the first day of the pork shipment, as soon as the city gate was released, people came and saw large carts, some of which were pigs with their legs tied, and some of which were half and a half frozen pork.

I don't know how many there were, but I looked at the end of the road from the doorway, and until I couldn't see it, there was still a convoy of pork trucks.

The people even looked at the convoy stupidly with the soldiers guarding the city, and they all knew how much pork was now, who was this? So much pork in here? It is estimated that he has to make a lot of money at a time, and he is smart enough to keep the pork until now.

After a while, the sergeant who guarded the door remembered to come and check, and as soon as he walked to the first car, he immediately picked up a flag on the car, and the pattern on the flag was very cute, that is, a rice seedling with big eyes, holding a basin of feed in his arms, and taking it out with one hand and scattering the feed with the other.

Seeing this pattern, the soldiers guarding the gate breathed a sigh of relief, if it was true, then they didn't have to go from car to car to check, saving a lot of trouble.

The people of the capital also know such a banner with fun rice seedlings, the unique banner of the Zhang family in Sanshui County, which was blown by the wind. Hunting sounded, around the flag also embroidered a gold edge, if you look closely, you can see that the embroidered rice seedling base is actually a Jiao.

"The Zhang family is right, others don't dare to use such an over-the-top thing." The little head guarding the door said to the soldier next to him.

The soldier nodded, "Yes, yes, only the Zhang family can suddenly take out so much pork, go up and see, if there is anyone you know, if there is, don't check." ”

The other gatekeepers also nodded in agreement, otherwise how long would it take to investigate?

A batch of pork smashed into the capital, and the price of pork immediately fell, and the hundred officials in the court, including Li Longji, also knew how capable the Zhang and Wang families were, and with the power of one family, they could affect the price fluctuations of Yijing.

If it weren't for the three old men, Old Man Bi, Old Man Yao and Old Man Liu, who also wrote a letter and sent it to the capital, Li Longji would have wanted to do something to the Zhang and Wang families, how could they let one party control the price of the important land in Beijing?

The letter clearly states that there are three points, the first is to let the officials understand the importance of the economy, whether to look at the businessmen or improve the status of the businessmen, then look at it and do it, and not look down on it as before.

The second is the importance of farming, especially interbreeding, which will have much less food consumption, and at the same time can also use the method of biogas digester to reduce unpleasant odors and increase grain production.

The third is to allow people in Yanzhou and other places in the north to use more sleds when it snows in winter, and there are frozen cattle and sheep there, so that they can take advantage of the rising prices in the capital to transport them over and form a habit.

There is also the last point that has not been picked out The least important and most important thing is that the Zhang and Wang families can choose a good place to help the clan build a large-scale breeding farm to control prices.

Li Longji was relieved when he saw the last one, he understood, saying that he was using this to control prices, it was better to be able to make more money for him, this money was not in the hands of the court officials, and the household department could not control it, and he would no longer have to fight with hundreds of officials if he wanted to repair houses and go out hunting in the future.

At the same time, it is also the Zhang and Wang families who are showing that they have no ambitions.

If it can affect the price of the capital, it can naturally affect the price of Shuzhou.

The New Year is about to begin, in order to make the people of Shuzhou feel easier during the New Year, Zhang's restaurant has launched a series of new dishes, and the pigs that have not grown up in the people's homes are also taken out to kill and eat meat, and the price is also much more expensive, no different from killing when they grow up.

Old man Bi and the others ate dishes for ten days in a row, three meals a day, at least ten dishes with pork in each meal, and they didn't eat the same thing, and the three hundred dishes made a few people enjoy eating when they were also tired of eating.

When the four old men found the kindergarten that had just been built, a group of children were watched and played in the yard, from the oldest to the smallest, only the children of the rich and noble families in Shuzhou were all accounted for in a kindergarten, the eldest was five years old, and the small could be a baby who had just completed the moon.

It's just that there are no babies less than one year old here, and the family members who are less than one year old are reluctant to send them over, not only because the education environment of Zhang Wang's family is good, but also because many families want to tie up with Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were watching the children play in the yard at this time, the marble floor was covered with a carpet, there were special wind-blocking curtains around them, and all kinds of toys were piled up there.

"Xiaobao." Old man Bi didn't go in, and beckoned to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

"Grandpa Bi, do you have something?"

Zhang Xiaobao came out and asked suspiciously.

"Let's change the dishes, it's not okay to eat so much, it's not that we have special recipes, if you don't want to eat the dishes sent by your family, you won't eat it, it's the people below, you eat it every day, and no one can stand it."

Old man Bi discussed, after all, people eat well every day.

"What to eat?" Zhang Xiaobao thinks it's good, he eats meat all of a sudden, and he changes his tricks, why don't you want to eat it?

"Isn't there still chickens, ducks and fish, change it, well, there is something to ask, where is your father going to go next? When your father came, he was counting to stay for two years, that is, to send the tax twice, but it seems that it will not work.

The bridge was repaired, the Wangjiang Building was also built, and the people's family set up and Li Xun wanted to pay for the people's family to get a biogas digester first, it is estimated that your father's position will be moved after the New Year, at most it will stay until the beginning of summer, that is because people have not come over, as soon as your family leaves, there will be a lot of positions, and the arrangement is probably the beginning of summer. ”

Old man Bi blushed a little when he spoke, it was too much of a bully, people went to a place to build first, and finally built it, and before they could get more benefits from it, they had to drive people away.

But there is no way, who let you Zhang Wang and the two families build fast, when you get to a place, this place will develop, and you don't have to worry about anything at all, so you can't waste it, of course, you have to use it as a knife, where it is uneven, put it.

Zhang Xiaobao originally wanted to wait for a year, but he didn't expect the imperial court to be too anxious, there are a lot of good things here in Shuzhou that have not been developed, and the new officials can continue to develop them?

"Grandpa Bi, is it now encouraging magistrates to make as few political achievements as possible, so that they can stay in the place more?"

Zhang Xiaobao asked with a thorn in his words.

Old man Bi didn't know how to answer when he was asked by Zhang Xiaobao, and Old Man Yao spoke at the moment.

"It is the imperial court that encourages officials to continue to be promoted, and your father's grade next time will definitely be higher than the current one."

"No matter how high it is, you will enter the capital, and you know how dangerous that place is Grandpa Yao, right? My dad is now going in and playing with someone else? Which promotion my family has to come up with, if it is promoted once a month, and then it will be scattered officials and idle positions, and when there is no promotion, do you want to be crowned king? ”

Zhang Xiaobao is really distressed this time, he can't do it all the time, the formula always has to be studied before he can give it to others, the front is simple, the more difficult it is to the back, and he can't let too many people know.

Liu Zhirou actually really wanted to get more recipes, but he was also not easy to say, so he could only say in a consultative tone: "Then to the middle of summer?" Leave more time for your family to take part of the Shuzhou business. ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Liu, but Grandpa Liu, can you guarantee that the new batch of officials can still act according to my father's plan? Next time I go to Luoyang, don't be promoted, give me an honorary official position, the same product, don't have real power, go there and mix. ”

Zhang Xiaobao said thank you, but the expression on his face didn't mean thank you at all.

The four old men didn't know how to say it for a while, Luoyang is a place to retire, and if Zhang Zhong is really arranged, he can't be allowed to do things elsewhere.

Old man Yao thought for a while and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "It's better to arrange your father to be an assassin in another state when the time comes, the state capital closer to the capital." ”

Zhang Xiaobao was also happy, and immediately nodded and agreed, "Well, okay, it's good to have Grandpa Yao's words, then arrange my father to Yaozhou, my father is familiar with that place." ”

Knowing that this was impossible, Zhang Xiaobao also deliberately asked.

Sure enough, the four old men shook their heads without thinking about it.

"Xiaobao, your father can't go to that place, although it is also Shangzhou, but there is Huayuan County from afar, and it is so close to your Sanshui County, how can you arrange your father to go over, even if a few of us agree, the court in the capital will not agree, change places."

When Old Man Liu heard that Zhang Xiaobao was going to arrange his father to Yaozhou, he shook his head vigorously, that place must not let Zhang Zhong go back, the foundation of the Zhang family is there, if he is allowed to make a piece, then it will be so close to the capital in the future, things will not be easy to do.

"Then go to Luoyang, and never arrange any real jobs." Zhang Xiaobao is still bargaining.

Old man Bi couldn't go on like this, so he had to say: "Let's discuss this matter again, Xiaobao, it's cold, can you arrange a few more activities, especially the Taihu Lake activities like last time?" ”

The four old men actually thought of this question when they came over, mainly to study, and after Zhang Zhong left, he could let the next assassin who came over do the same.

Zhang Xiaobao really didn't think about any activities, here it is said that it is cold or cold, and it is not hot or hot, and it is not like the capital, which can be well organized.

Listening to the old man's question, he pondered for a while before saying, "Is this...... Let's see what King Li is doing. ”
