Chapter 43 A little interest urges people to fight

Wang Juan didn't expect Zhang Xiaobao to be so sure, and even took another step, "There has been no movement for half a month, are you so sure?" ”

"Half a month is nothing, for a purpose, there are many things to endure for a few years, the county has begun to build roads, there is no asphalt, no cement, and I can't afford to make a road full of bluestone, so I can only use some gravel to pave it,."

Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to bother more in the strategy, and turned the topic to people's livelihood, he likes to do things in people's livelihood, and he also wants to do this by cheating money, but unfortunately God didn't give him too much time, he only made a beginning, and he is not afraid in this life, and there is power in the family.

Wang Juan didn't want to ask why Zhang Xiaobao was so determined, "Okay, don't care about other things, just say that the road is repaired, in fact, it's okay, the car with wooden wheels will be repaired when you walk, how much can it be overloaded?" What's more, this kind of road is not a problem to repair.

You don't see that when it rains, even if the road is bad, the people living on both sides will come out to repair it, and the more people have people on the side of the road, the fewer potholes there will be on the road, and they will repair it themselves without anyone giving them orders. ”

"Yes, I'll fix it myself, this kind of thing looks normal now, then I'll get some sand and gravel and put it on both sides of the road, it's not worth a few dollars, a pile is just a penny or two, put it for a year, unless it's too rainy, washed away, otherwise it can be used to pave the road."

Zhang Xiaobao was single-minded just now, thinking about building roads and coal at the same time, and thinking about it was habitual thinking.

He remembered some pictures from a hundred years ago, where there was always some sand and gravel piled up on the side of the road in the countryside, and people would not take it to their homes at that time, and when there was rain, when the road was bad, in addition to the people who had a specific arrangement, some old men in the village, who were idle, would also carry shovels over to help lay the shop, so that people could not understand what their motives were.

Since it could be done at that time, perhaps it will be better in this era.

Wang Juan didn't think so much, and beckoned: "Let's go Xiaobao, let's go and have a look, you go to the field to catch some toads by the way, and stew them in oil at night." ”

"Toads are beneficial insects."

"Don't lie to the kids, basically the louder the person eats, the more he goes." Wang Juan is not a member of the Animal Protection Association, he just eats some toads, and the pond at home is specially raised.

Two people climbed out of the pool, Zhang Xiaobao specially found a two-strand fork, used to fork the toad for a while, the two just went out, came to a small ditch at the edge of the field, before Zhang Xiaobao could perform, a fast horse ran over at this time.

"Little boy, this time the cloth shop led by the Chen family began to buy a large amount of wheat, saying that it was going to be transported to the land of Sichuan and Shu and sold to the garrison over there."

The person who came immediately spoke to Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Xiaobao smiled slightly, "I know, don't worry about it, just don't do it." ”

"Yes." The man on the horse answered, took the reins in his hand, turned the horse and ran again.

Zhang Xiaobao thought for a while, and tightened the fork in his hand, "No matter what, let's enjoy life and continue to fork the toad." ”

"Someone is going to be unlucky again." Wang Juan felt sorry for those who came to find trouble.

From time to time, you will see one or several small boats on the connected river, carrying people and goods, Zhang Zhong has made three places that can pull fiber here, and it has indeed solved the problems of life for dozens of people, and every day someone has asked them to help pull in order to save time.

What no one expected was that they not only pulled it themselves, but also borrowed money to buy a few donkeys and used donkeys to pull them, this time the speed is fast, the person who pulls the fiber is relaxed, and the owner of the boat is also happy.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are really short of manpower, only a few are okay, but the stalls of the two people are so big that they don't even have a mobile personnel, and Erniu was also sent out to take care of the coal mine.

The little children in the Zhuangzi School have worked hard to learn, but they are still too young to use it, and the academy has just been built, and the master who teaches has not yet come to the fullest.

Faced with this situation, the main force of the riverside who pulled the fiber, and he also knew how to use his brains and had the courage to put Sun Changchang on the list of concerns.

At this time, Sun Changchang was commanding several people to pull the boat together, the boat was not big, but it was a little heavy, and I didn't know what was loaded on it, so that the people who pulled the fiber were worried that it would run aground, and the six people put a white linen cloth on their shoulders there, and the innermost layer of leather could make the shoulders more comfortable.

There were also four donkeys put on there, and they worked hard together, and the donkeys were strong and had good endurance, but sometimes they were not very obedient, otherwise no one would use a mule.

"Brother Changchang, what do you say this ship is carrying? It's not going to be a stone, is it? A person pulling the fiber was relieved by the strength of the donkey, and asked Sun Changyuan next to him.

"Don't think about it, we haven't offended anyone, who will put some stones to make us tired, people who come and go are asking for wealth, not for gas, if it is really a stone, it is also a precious stone, the ordinary stone is useless to transport over, and if it is not good, it may be filled with copper coins."

Sun Yuanyuan's feet moved, there was a donkey in front of him, he saved a lot of effort, and he could also change the rope on his left shoulder to his right shoulder, which was much more comfortable, and he glanced back, and saw that there were several people standing on the bow of the boat, so he quickly turned his head and continued to exert himself.

The people standing on the bow of the ship also looked around, and felt that there was something interesting here, and there were people who pulled fibers, especially some things in Huayuan County, and the people on the bow also knew.

In just 20 days, there were a large number of merchants who were willing to come to the places where no merchants were willing to come before, some brought grain, some brought cloth, and salt and meat were also transported, giving people the feeling that this was not the middle county that was made poor by the Wenxian order, but an upper county.

"Brother Qianyuan, have you seen it? Zhang Zhong, the county commander of Huayuan County, is a capable person, since taking office, he first received the official servants, and then those knife and pen copywriters, Xiao Chi just made a move, he was sent to the capital, and his home was also copied, the last time he came was half a year ago, right?

At that time, the people of Huayuan County looked dull-eyed, but now? I am so happy to do my job, this is my ability, let him be the owner of a village, and in more than two years, I can push a middle county into an upper county, and let him be the county commander, and the entire county can be turned upside down in about a month.

If you want to have a government, you want to have a business, you want to have a farmer, you want to have a worker, even Shi, people are also the champions of today's science and technology, such a person, no matter where you put him, you will feel at ease, the only thing you don't know is how the military formation, if this is also possible, isn't it an all-rounder? ”

A man in the bow of the boat, dressed in pale yellow clothes with blue stripes on them, said to a man next to him.

The person next to him was also wearing light yellow clothes, but the color was light green, and he was looking at it with his back at this time, and when he heard the words of the person next to him, he said, "Is Brother Wei afraid?" Others say how powerful he is Zhangjia Zhuangzi, and say that the small bridge is a helpless bridge, but I don't believe it, even if he is powerful, he is still a person, you and I join forces, it is not easy to clean him up?

We are not the people of the grain store, nor are we the people who bump into us without the ability, if we are not in one place, forget it, but how much business has the river robbed us of on this side? If we retreat from this matter, do we still want to raise our heads in front of others in the future? ”

"Brother Qianyuan, it doesn't matter whether this head is raised or not, the main thing is that the cloth line actually intervened at this time, after they have collected it, how can we collect it? They raised the price and harvested, saying that they would ship some of it, so that we could still receive wheat? Why not wait for spring wheat and rice and other crops to come down and then harvest? ”

The person who spoke before didn't put his mind on his face, and businessmen like them didn't think that face was very important, and their status was not as good as that of those who farmed the land, even if they were obviously richer than the people who farmed, and the thing he cared about was the matter of money.

We all know that we need grain at the border gates, and the grain production around the capital is poor, so we need to transport it from the south, and when we harvest every year, we can take advantage of the opportunity to lower and raise prices, and make a profit, and the more capital we invest, the more we earn.

The person who is known as Qianyuan is also thinking about this matter in his heart, this year is different from previous years, Sanshui County basically grows rice, if the wheat this time can't be taken down, or if it can't be pressed by transportation, when a large amount of rice comes down, then others will naturally not look for them again.

The thought of what he was about to face made him uncomfortable, and this time he had to receive the wheat in his hands and ship it out to sell anyway.

He was thinking about things here, and the person next to him said: "Brother Qianyuan, we still have to think about this matter, we can't be in a hurry, it's better to ask the people of the Chen family, this time he was actually pushed to the front, I heard that he has some discord with the Zhang family, it is better to take this opportunity to get in touch." ”

"Well, it's okay, even if we can't move the foundation of the Zhang family, we always have to let him know, who is easy to mess with, who can't be provoked, and he will be at the dock a little further along, right? Look at what they've made of the docks, and if they can use them, it's not for nothing. ”

Or he was also tormented by things and had no choice, thinking there, he felt that in this world, there was nothing that could not be united, but he had never found that door.

When he had finished saying this, neither of them was silent again, but stood on the bow of the boat, letting the wind blow from time to time, or bringing up a piece of corners, or blowing their hair messily, in short, it embodied a kind of freedom.

When the boat was no longer being pulled and could row on its own, a situation suddenly appeared in front of the two of them that they could not imagine, and they could not guess why the merchants had built so many gardens.
