Chapter Forty-Seven: I Can't Think of a Plan to Cooperate with You (6th Watch, 11th Month)
Chapter Forty-Seven: I Can't Think of a Plan to Cooperate with You
Huayuan County is different from Sanshui County, at this time the wheat is being harvested, the winter wheat has grown, and the work on the mountain has not been finished.
Most of the people who had land in their families had to go back to harvest, but the work in the county could not be done without one, Zhang Zhong originally wanted the yamen of Sanshui County to send a notice to ask the people of Sanshui County to come and work.
As a result, he was stopped by Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Xiaobao didn't think it was better to call the people of Sanshui County to come over to work than other counties, and the work done in Huayuan County at this time belonged to infrastructure construction and could not directly generate economic benefits.
The people of Sanshui County come to work, no matter how they eat and drink, the money spent is not as good as the wages paid, and it does not belong to the form of domestic sales in the county to stimulate the economy, so that the people of Sanshui County have made money, and the people of Sanshui County will not come to live in Huayuan County, Sanshui is better than the current Huayuan.
It was good for the people of Sanshui County, but the promotion of Huayuan County was slow, so Zhang Xiaobao asked his father to find someone to go to other counties to publicize, saying that Huayuan County lacked people to work, and there were places such as Henan Province, where they harvested wheat early, and they were planting other things, and there should be people who were idle.
There are also people in the surrounding counties who are idle, calling them over, asking them to build, and in the process of construction, they keep telling them how good Huayuan County will be after they build, and how much money they can make by living here.
When they finish building, there will naturally be some people who like Huayuan County and are willing to stay and live, especially some landless handicraftsmen.
Since it is close to the capital, there is coal, and the transportation is convenient, Huayuan County should not become an agricultural county, but should exist as a place for processing auxiliaries.
Zhang Zhong listened to his son's words, and also felt that it made sense, so he asked people to go to the surrounding places to publicize it that day, and at this time, there were already 500 people from the surrounding counties coming, and some even dragged their families directly to come and prepare to live in Huayuan County.
Zhang Zhong divided the people into two groups, one to repair the road next to the wharf, and the other to repair the mountain, and when the outsiders arrived in the county, some of the needs increased, even if these people were not so rich and spent less money, but after all, in consumption, Zhang Zhong was a day to settle wages.
In addition to the consumption driven by these people, there are also merchants who want to buy and sell here, and when they sell their goods, they need transportation, they need to eat and drink, and they also need to have a shop.
They are also part of the consumer group, and when they bring tax revenue to the county, they also stimulate the demand for some materials in Huayuan County.
The intermediary on the wharf, synthesizing the things on the side of Xiaoluoshui, some businessmen who have transported goods feel that it is a little uneconomical to continue to move forward, and it just so happens that Huayuan County also needs things, so they will bring goods directly from the wharf to the county.
The number of people in Huayuan County has increased for a while, and it seems to be more prosperous.
The security here is not like Sansleep County, where there are always people who want to do something, are caught, locked up, and then released to help build roads elsewhere, and still don't pay wages.
It is not easy for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to go to the street now, the family is afraid of chaos on the street, they have an accident, and now the people of the two families have all moved to live behind the yamen.
Fortunately, there are many courtyards, and there are still some people left in Sanshui County, otherwise they really can't fit it.
Zhang Zhong is going to go out to have a look today, in the morning, in addition to some official business, two cases have been broken, and there is basically no major event in the afternoon, unless there is a life, or a hundred thousand urgent, otherwise it will be pressed until tomorrow.
Zhang Zhong went out with the guards, as well as the officials, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan found an opportunity now, and came out with Zhang Zhong, with the protection of so many people, don't worry.
Since Huayuan County got 80,000 yuan, it recruited more than 200 people at a time, and the original harmony was 300 people, and some horses were bought one after another, and a few and a half of them could ride and patrol.
As for the officials who did not have horses and were newly recruited, they could not be idle, except for patrolling in shifts in the county town, they had to train on the playground opened by the yamen alone.
At this time, a servant walking on the outermost part of the city was newly recruited, and a pair of eyes looked around vigilantly, as if everyone could hurt the county magistrate, as long as he saw it, it was clear that he was a newcomer, and the old man would not be so obvious.
"Xiaobao, Huayuan County has finished harvesting winter wheat this time, and it continues to be planted as before?" Wang Juan felt the changes in the county town and asked Zhang Xiaobao, who was a little absent-minded next to him.
Zhang Xiaobao has too many things to think about now, including what Wang Juan said to plant, was touched by Wang Juan, raised his head, thought about it carefully and said:
"Let's plant vegetables, vegetables are not worth much elsewhere, you can still sell them at a high price in the capital, plant some late cucumbers, late eggplants and other vegetables, and radishes also have a variety of vegetables, dry vegetables in the shade, keep them for the winter, you can't always count on the method of growing vegetables in that winter."
Wang Juan thought about it carefully, and agreed with this matter, the capital is close to here, the population is large, and there are not a few vegetables consumed every day.
"Well, then we have to hurry up and make a notice, or they will plant something else of their own."
After saying this, the two of them continued to walk, and Wang Juan asked again: "They haven't done it yet, we can't be so guarded, right?" There are a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves. ”
"No, I have to wait, I have already sent a letter of goodwill, see what they will do, if you really live in the first house in Linshui for two days, let people go over and talk to them, first talk about whether they can cooperate, if they can, sign the paperwork, and then say some of the details, if you don't want to sign the paperwork first, just tell them the details we are ready, let them play."
Zhang Xiaobao doesn't seem to pay much attention to things over there, and he usually does the things that are arranged.
Wang Juan pursed her lips and smiled, she hoped that those people would not agree to sign the documents first, that must be to deceive the details, do it yourself, and see what it would look like when they took that detail, she had seen it herself, if she hadn't had some experience in this area, she would have been deceived, Zhang Xiaobao, too bad.
The voice of the two people talking was small, and there were many people in the county, and they were noisy, and others couldn't hear them, only Zhang Yu looked at the two children there and said, knowing that what he said was not a trivial matter, he took his son's little hand and said to the two people:
"When it comes to next year, we have to repair the shops on both sides of this county, some of which are old and can be blown down by a little wind, you say, how to repair them?"
"Walking Street." Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan thought of this at the same time, on the streets now, there are car drivers, there are horseback riding, too dangerous, and the smell is also unpleasant, let them go other ways in the future, here is for people to wander around, especially Zhang Xiaobao also wants to open a small supermarket here, as soon as people wander around, as long as they go in, there will be a certain amount of purchase**.
Facing his father's puzzled eyes, Zhang Xiaobao said: "It's a place where you don't go to the carriage and horses, in case one of them is hit." ”
"Oh~! Okay, too. Zhang Zhong knew that his son couldn't say much at this time, and he would have to go home and ask about the future arrangements.
The crowd kept walking, walking, Zhang Xiaobao suddenly said: "Let's go back and write a letter first, write it to the people in the boat, give them another chance, and let them take the initiative, well, just do it." ”
Only Wang Juan heard this, and said that he wanted to go back, Zhang Zhong saw his son squeezing his eyes when he was wondering, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, turned around and returned to the yamen with people.
After a few words with his son, a letter was written, and he was sent to Xiaoluoshui Wharf quickly.
When the stars and moon rose, the people of the boat line also came to the first place near the water, looking at the prosperous appearance of this place, the anger in their hearts rose again, the more prosperous it is, the more they will be robbed.
The group went up to the third floor of the restaurant, chose the room that happened to have a clear view of the pier and the shop on the shore, ordered a table of dishes, and ate while watching, when they were watching, when they were in a daze, when they were eating, when they were eating, they occasionally raised a glass and drank a sip of wine, and basically had nothing to say.
This kind of dull atmosphere, when the time came, Guo Jian finally couldn't bear it, and the dock below actually provoked lanterns, and there were still boats docked from time to time, and people came and went above, which was money for those who knew how to do it.
"Brother Wei, hurry up and think of some way, last year, this place was not connected to the capital, we can still bear it, now you see, it's midnight, it's still so busy, how much money do we make less?"
Guo Jian was angry, threw the chopsticks on the table, didn't eat them, sat there and looked down, and his face changed.
Everyone's hearts were also thinking about it just now, but no one said it, and now when they heard Guo Jian mention it, they also came up with ideas there, saying one after everyone thought about it, and felt that it was inappropriate, and it was still inappropriate to say another.
When it was almost time to say that, everyone had no choice but to look at Mi Fan, who had more ideas here.
Mi Fan is also worried now, he doesn't know how to deal with the Zhang family, don't even think about using force, it's useless to use people in the official face.
When he was worried, the door was knocked open by the guy, and after coming in, he said respectfully: "Everyone, the Zhang family has sent you a letter, I wonder if you are willing to accept it?" ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, they just gave a letter during the day, and now they have another one, are they repenting of what happened during the day?
"Show me it." Guo Jian stretched out his hand.
"Give it to me." When the guy got closer, Mi Fan took it, opened the letter and looked at it, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Waiting for the guy to leave, he said to everyone: "There is a way, the Zhang family still wants to cooperate with us elsewhere, but they have written the most critical things, hahahaha." ”
