Chapter 17 The night passes and the day is dawn

"Xiaobao, do you think they can be fooled? If you don't do it the way you think, aren't we going to lay it out for nothing? ”

On the couch, Wang Juan was a little unsure if those people would go all the way down as Zhang Xiaobao planned.

Zhang Xiaobao is not worried, "It doesn't matter if they follow the road we have arranged, it's a big deal to continue the layout, as long as they still want to occupy an area in this place, as long as the lord Bo and the county still want to make more money, there is always a bureau suitable for them."

Today my father is really powerful, put them in a trap, it is estimated that they put a lot of usury out, now it is finished, where can borrow money, there are basically only two kinds of people, one is a gambler, the other is a family life difficulties, or need money to treat the disease. ”

"Well, almost, even if the gambler is cheap this time, those people who are in difficulty in the family must be grateful to your father, and they are not stupid, so they can naturally understand the truth." Wang Juan didn't expect Father Zhang to make such a big deal today.

Speaking of gambling, Wang Juan had a new idea and touched Zhang Xiaobao, "You said that you can not let them gamble like this, let's help them gamble, such as the lottery, so that they can be more stable, and then a lot of money we have earned, you can set up a name, where there is a disaster, take out some of it and send it."

Not in our private name, in the name of your father's county order, on behalf of the court, on behalf of the emperor, in the process, we will use that money to invest, and then make more money, okay? ”

"Okay, why not, but we can't earn this money, we should go directly to the court, let the emperor do it directly, and our side will be like paying taxes and rents upwards, pay a large part, and leave a small part, or pay it all, and let the above call back some money."

In fact, this is just to collect money, there is no prohibition of gambling at all, those who are good gamblers will buy lottery tickets while continuing to gamble, the only way is to catch, catch hard, catch it hard, can't be punished, the punishment is useless, after the punishment they will want to gamble back these fined money. ”

Zhang Xiaobao agrees with Wang Juan's idea, not from the perspective of banning gambling, but to collect money, for the ban on gambling, then you can only catch a few whips down, or parade the streets, is there such a human right here, let everyone watch, scare those who gamble.

Wang Juan also knows that this matter can never be banned, and the gambling family is bankrupt, and the gambling wife is separated, but it has never stopped.

"Is it really a catch-up and a fight, can it be useful? What if the person goes to a hidden place to gamble? ”

"Won't you know if you try it?,Increase your efforts.,Unless it's a particularly big gambling addiction.,Otherwise,No one will be caught at any time and still gamble.,You can let people report it.,Give a reward or something when the time comes.,As long as the number of officials is enough.,Then you can suppress it.,I'll tell my dad tomorrow.,And Sanshui County.。

This person, the poor also gamble, the rich also gamble, especially when there is no work to do, they are bored and naturally have to gamble, sleep, tomorrow someone may send ginseng over. ”

Zhang Xiaobao fell asleep as he spoke, turned around, and fell asleep for a while, Wang Juan looked at the candle that had not been extinguished, and muttered, "It's okay to try, as long as most of the previous bets don't gamble."

It's time to sleep, and some people are destined to not be able to sleep tonight, the businessman at the dock and the lord Bo County Cheng are talking about which piece of land they want, someone has already gone to buy ginseng, and the hundred-year-old ginseng is not easy to find, but if you want to buy it, you still have the opportunity to buy it.

The county Cheng and the lord Bo were going to discuss with the businessmen how to deal with the county order this night, but now it was only a matter of dealing with the land, and they would find a way to deal with Zhang Zhong himself later.

The people of Yushu Village can't sleep at night, they have a good meal today, they don't have to work hard to make dumplings, they just wrap wontons, and the little babies don't eat less, one by one they are uncomfortable, they don't sleep at night, they come out to play, and the adults think about the days to come, talk to their neighbors, and they don't want to sleep in this conversation.

Even the people from Zhangjia Zhuangzi who came over to deliver things were also pulled to talk, asking how Zhangjia Zhuangzi lived his life, and what would become of this place in the future, and the people of Zhangjia Zhuangzi said truthfully, and also told the people in the village that in the future, this place will be like Zhangjia Zhuangzi, and the villagers will laugh at it.

There are also people who can't sleep are those 'prisoners' who have been put back, and the money given by the county order runs home like crazy one by one, and some run back, and the family members are there, hugging their heads and crying, and then taking out the money, the family members are happy again, and they start talking in the afternoon, and they can't finish talking until the evening.

But some ran to their own place and found that none of their family members were gone, so they asked their neighbors, and the neighbors said they didn't know, so such people could only cry by themselves.

Another family has not slept well for a few days, that is, the Chen family Zhuangzi, who is next to the original Yuan family, after learning that the master of the Zhang family ran to this county to be the county commander, he was afraid of retaliation, so he was so frightened that he lit all the torches and lanterns at night, and woke up with nightmares when he fell asleep.

The head of the family has long since stopped letting the younger brother of the original concubine be the housekeeper, and arranged a miscellaneous job, and the concubine did not go over much, and kept the original housekeeper Zhang in case the Zhang family came to find trouble one day, so as to hand over this person to prevent disasters.

When different people go through different encounters, the night is finally over, and after dawn, the hardships and fears of the night have dissipated a lot, and the days have to be passed, even if there is only one 'prisoner' left, as long as there is still hope to find their family, they will look for it.

When the first rays of sunlight shine through the morning glow, people also get up and start to do things, and after the spring ploughing, people also have to go to the fields to see, as long as a little weed grows head, then it must be hoeed.

Some restaurants in the county are closed in the morning, and they only open when it is almost noon, when there are many people.

The only exception is Jinlai Building, which opens the door early in the morning, and all kinds of porridge are ready to come out, even if there are very few people who can come to eat, they have always insisted, according to the words of Xiaobao, let them develop a habit, this kind of shop will not only be in these places, but also open to other roads.

There is the same sign, as long as those who are in a hurry, or have something special, find that they can't eat elsewhere in the morning, and can eat in such a hotel, after the hotel opens everywhere in the future, this thoughtfulness will be continued.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan ate in the courtyard, and Zhang Xiaobao had to continue to pretend to be sick until the matter of those merchants buying land was resolved, and he could not continue to show his face outside.

Zhang Zhong went to the restaurant to eat, there have been a lot of officials and other people who do things in the yamen, and now their breakfast is eaten here, which is a welfare, after all, there is no money in the yamen, and breakfast is not cheap to buy in Jinlailou, but the cost is very low, and Zhang Zhong is not bad for this money.

Not only the people who received the things originally, but also some of the subordinates who later worked in the yamen, forgot about them at the beginning, and later made up for it, and they can now also go to the restaurant for breakfast.

All this is arranged, Zhang Zhong can talk to the people in the yamen during dinner, ask about things, and get closer to each other, which is better than usually only giving things, especially some people can still know some gossip news or something.

"Your Excellency, you're here, you sit here." A servant was eating and talking with his colleagues when he saw Zhang Zhong coming in, and hurriedly got up and pulled out the chair of an empty table next to him.

Zhang Zhong didn't sit there, but pulled out a chair next to the officials and sat on it, looked at what the officials were eating, and said to the guy: "A big bowl of tofu brain, and two side dishes, what is the stuffing for the buns today?" ”

"Master, the buns are stuffed with mutton, pork and green onions, leeks, eggs and shrimp, and beef are not, which one do you eat?" The guy asked from the side, and the way he spoke was different from the others, not so loudly yelling, and not having to count the skins.

Zhang Zhong didn't like to eat that leek, and he didn't like anything else, so he thought about it, "It's changed, don't want tofu brains, have a big bowl of soy milk, and then a pound of fruit." ”

"Sir, wait a minute, I'll bring it to you right away." The guy turned and ran.

Zhang Zhong said to the three officials who had already sat down next to the table: "In the future, if you come here for breakfast, you will ask for a few more side dishes, it is not worth much, can't this master even afford this?" ”

Listening to the county order calling himself this master, the three officials laughed, and one of them said: "My lord, that is, you are so good to the little ones, if the little ones meet the officials of other counties, tell them, they must not believe it, oh, except for the one from Sanshui County, who let your Zhuangzi be over there." ”

"What's not good, I expect you to work hard in the future, what's the point of eating something? Come, eat, you eat first, my share will come soon, no matter how many are waiting, you have to prepare it for me first, right, eat. ”

Zhang Zhong looked very kind at this time, just like when he chatted with the dealer before, he didn't have to keep a straight face when he didn't have official business.

The officials hesitated, but they still ate it, and the guy also brought up the soy milk and fritters at this time, and specially prepared a stinky tofu for Zhang Zhong, which is also not prepared for people, otherwise some people don't want to smell that taste, Zhang Zhong likes to eat, so don't care about others.
