Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Ginseng Delivery Begins

Living in the mountains, sweating has not stopped, there are mud trucks coming and going, and the rain is pouring down.

As soon as the day dawned, the rain was still falling, and there was a growing posture, and the people who put on the robes and hats that had been sent to them hurriedly ate breakfast and threw themselves back into their work.

Zhang Zhong, who stayed with him all night, also got in the car and went to the county office, the horse could not be ridden, this night made Zhang Zhong gain a lot, and the people recognized him from their hearts.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also got up, the two of them really watched Erya yesterday, in fact, it was almost like a dictionary, and after reading it for two hours, their heads were confused.

The two of them were eating tofu brains, and there were three open long brocade boxes on the table, each of which contained a ginseng, and the long beard had become as thick as a hair below, but it was not broken, and there was a red rope tied on the top.

This is the ability of those businessmen, and I don't know where they found it, three hundred-year-old ginseng, which was delivered in the rain in the middle of the night last night, with three ginseng, it means that Zhang Xiaobao can go to the street to play.

"Sangen, they don't want money, it seems that they want Dad to do things, okay, keep it, you must keep it, after a few hundred years, it will become a thousand-year-old ginseng, and our plan can be implemented."

Zhang Xiaobao doesn't know how to look at ginseng, and it's not clear whether it's a hundred years or not, thinking that those businessmen don't have the courage to deceive their father, ginseng can't be harvested in vain, otherwise it wouldn't be a bribe, Zhang Xiaobao decided to wait for those businessmen to buy the land, and help think of a way to make money, which is a paid exchange.

"I've never seen you count like this, it's still a thousand years, fossils, let's go to Yushu Village tomorrow for a look, the coal there should be dug up, do you say there will be oil where there is coal?"

Wang Juan covered the three boxes and said to Zhang Xiaobao.

"How do I know? Even if there is oil, I will not refine, I will be content to burn coal in winter, and I will be called back by my father for a while, and the money we put in must be brought back as soon as possible, and we will invest more, and it is best to invest the money in the road, and it will be too late if someone wants to oppose it. ”

Zhang Xiaobao finished the last bite of the bun, clapped his hands, jumped off the ground at the moment, and went to find someone to call his father.

Due to the rain, Zhang Zhong came back by car, set off from the mountain in the morning, and arrived at the place at noon, and the car wheel broke down twice on the way.

Zhang Xiaobao was a little anxious to wait, more anxious than Zhang Xiaobao were those businessmen, they came back from a tea stall opposite the yamen in the middle of the county order, the tea was drunk from morning to noon, and when they saw the tea, their mouths were salty and astringent, and they ate some snacks, and they didn't know whether they were full or hungry.

The proprietor of the tea stall poked a stick in the middle of the shed, poked the rainwater from the shed, boiled a new cup of tea, added some salt and ginger slices, and brought it to a few merchants who were guarding here, and said, "There is a lot of water outside, so it is better to go and sit in the shop." ”

"Don't go, just wait here, you can't put so many things in this tea? I don't know what it tastes in my mouth, so you go to the dock and take a look, the tea there is only tea leaves and water, and it tastes much better than yours. ”

A merchant said this for the fourth time there, and since they had drunk tea at the wharf, they didn't want to drink the present one, but unfortunately the wharf didn't sell tea, only tea, and it was expensive, and I don't know where it came from.

He didn't know, but the owner of the shop, which sells tea and tea, knew, and explained this time, "Everyone, it's not that I don't want to sell that kind of tea, I've also tasted it, and the taste is indeed different from now, but it was made by Zhangjia Zhuangzi and sold to the dock, and I don't know how to do it at all."

There are a lot of all kinds of tea dumplings and tea cakes in my shop, even if you don't put those salt or anything, just soak it with water, the taste is not good, it is not the same at all, if you can find that recipe, I am willing to pay 500 yuan. ”

"Don't think about it, there is that recipe, I won't sell 50,000 yuan, I will open my own tea stall." The merchant replied.

A person next to him stood up at this time, looked in the direction of the east, showed a happy look on his face, and said, "Don't worry about the tea yet, the county magistrate is back." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look, and sure enough, the car of the county order appeared in the rain over there, and several businessmen rushed out directly regardless of the rain outside, and the last person threw down the tea money and shouted while running: "Wait for me, wait for me." ”

Zhang Zhong stopped from Jinlai Tower before coming over, knowing that someone had sent ginseng, he could move on to the next step.

"Your Excellency, are you back? What's wrong with your son? A businessman rushed to the side of the car and asked with concern as he ran, in fact, it was to remind Zhang Zhong that the ginseng had been delivered.

Zhang Zhong picked up the curtain and said to this person: "Well, I just went to take a look, I have woken up, the medicine last night was really good, you sent the ginseng?" Tell me what you want? ”

"My lord, I want the recipe for that tea." The businessman suddenly changed what he had promised.

"Oh? Tea recipe, this is not good, it is not my family, and the Wang family is together, why don't I send you some tea, fifty catties, what do you think? "Of course Zhang Zhong won't give a prescription, the tea is not only used to sell money, but also to give gifts.

When the merchant heard that he only sent tea, fifty catties was indeed a lot, but it would always be used up one day, not to mention that there was also one at the wharf, not the only one, shook his head, and said: "My lord, then change it, we want to buy a piece of land not far from the wharf, sir, look?" ”

"Oh, that's a good way to say, buy land, but borderlands?" Zhang Zhong asked deliberately.

At this time, the car had arrived at the door of the yamen, someone held up an umbrella, Zhang Zhong got out of the car, and motioned for several businessmen to go in and negotiate with him.

At this moment, a fast horse came galloping from that side, and a man wearing a hat and a cloak walked down the road, and it seemed that he did not hear the sound of the horse's hooves, and the people who saw it immediately shouted loudly to the man.

Seeing that the horse was only a few zhang away from this person, this person reacted, frightened, jumped out to the side, and happened to collide with Zhang Zhong, the palace guard was excited, and protected Zhang Zhong's side, when he got off the car just now, Zhang Zhong was surrounded by businessmen, and the guards were always outside, and the person rushed quickly in a hurry, and he didn't have time to block it.

Seeing that Zhang Zhong was fine, and that person was not assassinated, he was relieved, and secretly decided to protect him more tightly in the future, otherwise he would be in trouble if Xiao Hou Ye knew about it.

"How? Have you ever been hurt? Zhang Zhong asked the man who was almost trampled on by the horse.

"No, it didn't hurt, it just scared me, my lord, you do your thing, don't worry about me." In the individual seemed frightened, shuddered.

"It's better to rest inside the yamen." Zhang Zhong saw that there was nothing to do, so he sent out an invitation.

The man shook his head vigorously, and the water on the hat was thrown on Zhang Zhong's face, and after saying this, he hurriedly left with his head down.

Zhang Zhong ignored it, took the Venerable Master into a room in the yamen, had tea brought him, and sat there repeating what he had just said.

The leading merchant said to the truth, "My lord, there is a field over there, but we can buy it, and if we give him more money, he will agree, but there is a good field over there, my lord, do you think we can buy it and do something else?" Here's what we're going to do in the future, and Erniu has already told us. ”

As the merchant spoke, he took out a Luo envelope and put it on the table, which was the plan that Zhang Zhong asked them to write.

Zhang Zhong casually took one out of it, took out what he wrote, looked at it, nodded and said, "This is still good, but there is good land over there, and you have to pay some more fines, are you willing?" ”

"Yes, yes, we're all willing." The businessman thought that he would not be fined too much, and that a land planted with rice would produce once a year, and it would be a lot of money to give a few yuan per acre of land, which was several times more than planting rice.

Zhang Zhong nodded again, "It's okay if you want to, then you can see what the field is suitable for, and pay it according to the price, once a year, but I don't have the final say in this matter, and the lord Bo and the county Cheng must also agree." ”

"Agreed, my lord, Zhan Zhubo and Xiao Xiancheng both agreed, and they told us the night before yesterday."

"You said he two agreed, and he two agreed? They didn't talk to me about it, so let them come and talk to me, and I asked, if you really agreed, you will take the land, do you know that such a local tax is different? ”

Zhang Zhong said with a look of disbelief.

"I know, I know, the tax will be higher, we pay, we are willing to pay, the lord of the county order, I will go to the county and the lord Bo, and let them talk to you then, okay?"

The businessmen knew that the tax was high and there was a lot of money to be made, so they happily agreed, but they were afraid that the county order would be repentant, so they went directly to Zhan Zhubo and Xiao Xiancheng.

The two of them are tired today, Zhang Zhong didn't come back, they can only help to solve some cases, usually the case can be judged according to their preferences, but today it is not possible, there are also officials next to them, plus knives and pens, etc.

The two had to make a serious decision, there was no big deal, it was all trivial things, but they couldn't continue, but fortunately, they recruited a lot of officials, what house's house was washed by water, the chickens were lost, who occupied whose land, etc., it was good to have officials, and they could be sent out to do things non-stop.

There were fewer people just taking advantage of the heavy rain, so they took time to rest, and the merchants came over.

"Zhan Zhubo, Xiao Xiancheng, the county commander has agreed, but I want to ask you two what you mean, let you two go over and talk about it."

The Venerable Master found two people, and while talking, he gave them 10,000 yuan of 'flying money', 5,000 yuan per person, and they could exchange the flying money for serious money or silk.

"Oh~! Got it, it's over in a while, and the county order is back? Xiao Xiancheng tried his best to control the excitement in his heart, five thousand guan, when the time comes, you can go to the place at the foot of the mountain with Zhan Zhubo to open a shop.
