Chapter 162: Sleepless Sleepless Hearts and Minds

Steward Zhang walked out of the pavilion, with a happy mood almost jumped out, only the toes touched the ground, the whole person was like a change, usually the person who has been unrestrained and smiling, now his eyebrows are dancing.

Steward Zhang was happy, he knew that the little boy was powerful, but he didn't expect to be so hateful, no wonder he was wronged yesterday and the little boy said to endure it, it turned out that this idea was really a bit against the harmony of heaven, what should the Chen family Zhuangzi do.

"You said that when did your Chen family Zhuangzi make this kind of trick, if you don't wait for so many people to repair the river, you can draw out some manpower, you can reroute the river, go back in a circle, just bypass a few small hills there, it's not big, it's just a few, but the water can't get through, unless it's your Chen family digging the mountain."

Steward Zhang seemed to feel that just thinking about it could no longer make him happy, so he muttered as he walked, and when he reached the side of the river, he directly found the person in charge of the affairs here and ordered:

"Immediately gather a thousand people for me, go over there and dig a river for me, the little boy ordered, don't worry about other people's houses, directly connect with the one dug by the Zheng family, it must be done within a day, a total of only six miles, go quickly, go quickly."

As soon as the man heard that it was arranged by the little boy, he didn't dare to delay, so he immediately went to find someone, shouted a few times, and there were 13 or 400 people over there, and the person in charge was about to say that he would leave a thousand, and Steward Zhang spoke.

"That's all, I'll go and dig right away, and if I can't finish digging during the day, I'll continue digging at night, and I'll give you good food and pay for your wages, but if anyone doesn't work hard, they don't have to work here."

As soon as these people heard that they still had wages, they were originally volunteers for twenty days, and they became happy, especially at night when they said that there was good food, since Steward Zhang said so, it was definitely a good thing.

Walking over there with tools, this place has been marked out and printed, Zhang Xiaobao didn't want the water below to be broken, so he changed it, and now he is just using it, who loves it below, but something grown in an arid place, why do you have to use so much water.

It is still very easy for 13,400 people to dig out a six-mile river channel and not ask for a big boat, especially when the snow is melted and spring begins, the ground is soft, and a large piece can be dug out with a spade.

Steward Zhang watched them work, and he didn't plan to go anywhere else, so he waited, and when the river was dug up, he blocked the other side, which belonged to the Wang family and the Ge family, and he didn't think that the Ge family would help the Chen family.

So many people, digging into the evening in one breath, lighting torches to continue drying, when resting Steward Zhang gave these people four dishes and one wine, did not give soup, one person drank a big bowl of wine, in addition to warming up, it can also make these people more energetic, and if you drink too much, it will not work.

When these people saw that the wine and food were really good, they patted their chests one by one and promised that they would not sleep if they didn't finish digging, and Steward Zhang took some copper coins and came over, and one person gave ten, and the enthusiasm of these people was completely mobilized.

Steward Zhang didn't know that he was sleepy, he was always in good spirits, and from time to time he glanced in the direction of the Chen family's Zhuangzi, but he was blocked by the mountain, so he also felt very happy.

After eating, by the light of the lanterns, these people began to dry again, and after drinking, their whole bodies were hot, especially at night, and this cool feeling made them dry faster.

In the middle of the night, the river connected to that side was dug out, and when the water was released, it could continue to widen, and now the water level is low, so there is no hurry.

The rest of the things don't need to be taken care of by those who do the work, Steward Zhang asked them to go back to rest, waiting to understand that the little boy and the little lady came over, that work ordinary people can't do, and the second cow will be able to do it, but unfortunately he followed the master into Beijing.

Steward Zhang is still not sleepy, he is still excited, after thinking about it, he has to go back to sleep, otherwise he will not have the strength to deal with the people of the Chen family tomorrow, and he is ready to take a bad breath.

Many people couldn't sleep at night

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were lying on the couch and talking there.

"Juanjuan, are you sure tomorrow? The soil quality of the land has not been tested, and I am afraid that something will happen then. Zhang Xiaobao lay there, looking at the roof, and asked Wang Juan.

Wang Juan lay on his stomach, put his chin on the pillow, and said with his head moving: "Don't worry, isn't it just a blast, blow up the last bit of the place where the water is stopped, I didn't stand there and light the fire with a fire sickle, I pulled the gun line long, this is always okay, pull it out for two miles." ”

"Our artillery line is a bamboo pipe, why are you so far away, if you don't have to think of a way, don't get close, I don't worry." Zhang Xiaobao is still a little worried.

Wang Juan had heard Zhang Xiaobao say it six times, and knew that he cared about himself, so he had to say: "In this way, let's put oil paper in the place below the ignition, and the twist will be directly connected to that place, and then I will go to the place with a jump, you see if it works, put a few more, there is always one who can be stunned."

Oops, it's a big deal that I used 100,000 firecrackers to connect the past, if I wasn't afraid that the medicine rope would get wet, I would have used the medicine rope directly, I know to pay attention to safety, sleep. ”

"Yes, just use the medicine rope, one strand won't work, let's get dozens of strands, put them together, what can be done when wet? I'll make it over there early tomorrow morning and go to sleep. Zhang Xiaobao came up with an idea, which made him feel at ease.

Wang Juan turned over and fell asleep with her, she knew that there were actually many ways, but Zhang Xiaobao was worried that something would happen to her, and people would be in chaos.

Steward Zhang didn't sleep at this time, didn't sleep with his wife, today he wanted to sleep by himself, lying there and muttering, "You're done, my little son helped me take revenge, I dared to block the road, I grew a few guts, tomorrow, it's tomorrow, a wall over there will be fine, I'll sleep." ”

"I want to see if the old man and housekeeper of the Chen family can still treat me like they did yesterday and today? Hum~! I'm not the previous housekeeper Zhang, anyone can bully me, no, sleep, this time I'm going to sleep. ”

"I also said that I didn't have any contact with the Zhang family, I didn't believe it, how could I run away...... Sleep....... ”

"...... in the sky."

“……”

Among the Chen family's Zhuangzi, Chen Gengxin, the head of the Chen family, did not sleep, and was talking to Steward Chen in the study.

"Steward Chen, do you say that we are doing this a bit too much, the Zhang family didn't recruit us, nor did they provoke us, we are blocking the river and blocking the road, in case they find the emperor's nephew, will they find an excuse to arrest us?"

Chen Gengxin said to Steward Chen worriedly.

"Master, don't worry, they are powerful, and they always have to find a reason, after all, this river was dug by the Yuan family at the beginning, and it was originally under our control, as for blocking the road, master, if it is not like this, how can we get benefits?

They have encountered a few things, they have won, if we are so obedient, there will be no place for the Chen family here in the future, this time it is done well, not only can we get benefits from his Zhang family, but also those other businessmen know about it, and they will also understand our awesomeness, and it will be much easier for the master to start trading again. ”

Steward Chen persuaded there, as if he was about to succeed, and he was excited.

Chen Gengxin was also moved by what the housekeeper said, thought about it, felt that there was really nothing to be afraid of, relaxed a little, and said with a smile: "It's still Steward Chen, you are amazing, if you change to someone else, you will definitely be afraid of them, not to mention what benefits you can't get at that time, and the business at home will be difficult, this time Steward Chen, you have made a great contribution." ”

"Master Che Mo is so exaggerated, small things should be done, in the future, no one in our Chen family will dare to mess with this place, except for the emperor's nephew, do other people need to be afraid?"

Steward Chen said modestly, but the smug expression couldn't be hidden, Chen Gengxin naturally didn't care about his expression, closed his eyes and thought about the future, and said: "Steward Chen, after the spring ploughing, go out with me, there are some deals you need to do." ”

Steward Chen's family didn't expect that this master, that is, his brother-in-law, would be gracious and let himself interfere in the family's business, and he was speechless for a while, and then said: "Sir, don't worry, the small one will definitely do a good job, if it is half a point off, sir, you will drive the small one out, sir, it's late, go to bed early." ”

"Well, it's okay, go to your sister, don't worry, do things well, it's okay if it's a little worse." Chen Gengxin stood up, said a word to Steward Chen, turned to leave, and walked towards another wing.

Steward Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as his brother-in-law still wanted to go to his sister, his place in the family would not be taken away.

After staying for a while, Steward Chen gently closed the door, stood in the courtyard, and said to himself: "I'll go to the Zhang family tomorrow to talk about things, well, go early in the morning." ”

The next morning, all those who had on their minds got up.

Steward Zhang waited for the little boy and the little lady to finish eating, tried to calm himself down, and said to the two people: "Little boy, little lady, there should have been sandbags over there, and when the time comes, the river on the other side will be opened, and it will be the time for the Chen family to be unlucky, thank you little boy and little lady for helping me avenge." ”

"Family, thank you, let's go, go over there early, so that the rest of the section can be blown up." Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand and walked out of the mansion with his head in his head.

As soon as the three of them arrived outside, they saw someone coming over there, when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were puzzled, Steward Zhang gritted his teeth and said: "Little boy, little lady, that's it, he is the housekeeper of the Chen family, I don't know what to do this time, I'll go over and talk to him." ”

"Hehe, it seems that this Chen family is not simple, there must be some request to come and mention, okay, listen to what they think." Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile.
