Chapter 6 Wang Erchu's Contact
Two days later, the first batch of rice, flour and tea, along with the second batch of soap, left Zhang's house with the convoy of Zhang's firm.
For this reason, Zhang Hongbin earned another 1,500 taels of profit.
It's just that it doesn't matter how much money you make, what the system recognizes is the amount of money you spend in it, in other words, so far, the amount Zhang Hongbin has spent in it is less than five hundred taels of silver. The five thousand taels required to upgrade the system are only one-tenth of the share.
But no matter what, the money earned is real currency, whether it is absorbed into the market, or in real consumption, it is officially recognized. Besides, there are things to buy that the system can't buy. At least at this stage, it can't be bought, and I'm afraid it may not be able to buy it in the future.
Money aside, it's certain that you have money and you have a solid heart, but it's sad if you have money and don't have the life to spend.
Since Zhang Hongbin made the decision to contact Wang Er once, he has asked people to turn over Wang Er's resume in the past two days, and then study it carefully.
After reading Wang Er's information, Zhang Hongbin learned that Wang Er was not called Wang Er, but he was born on the second day of the first month, so he was called Wang Er. His father's generation was a homesteader on the Mizhi side, but one year, perhaps because of the disaster, he had to become a homeless person and became a tenant of Zhangfu.
Immediately, he married his own son on Baishui's side, but unfortunately his wife died in childbirth, and he died of illness the year before last. At that time, the Zhang Mansion and the Wang Er family signed a death contract, in other words, the Wang Er family could only be tenants of the Zhang Mansion for generations. Wang Er also grew up at that time, so he took over the old man's class and obediently became a tenant in Zhang's mansion.
This kid used to be very horizontal, he was the king of children at the age of seven or eight, and when he was a teenager, he learned a lot of Hongquan from the artists who were running the rivers and lakes, and he practiced hard for several years to beat the invincible hand of Baishui, and established his title of red stick. Of course, the double-flower red stick is not his share, Wang Er was defeated by the hands of the second brother Zhang Hongwu two years ago, and since then he can only be a red stick.
However, Zhang Hongwu is the lord of the landlord's family after all, and among the tenants, or among the lower riba people, Wang Er is a well-deserved double-flower red stick. In Baishui County, and even in the surrounding villages, he has a high right to speak on matters, and even between tenants and villagers, his words are sometimes more effective than Steward Zhang.
Master Zhang also commented, saying that Wang Er is a material for a general, but fortunately he is still safe, otherwise in terms of his identity, he will become a disaster.
In other words, fortunately, Wang Er is still based on the main family, he is very clear about his identity, and he also puts the main family as the most important thing in his life, so Master Zhang left him a life. If he shows a little ambition, then I'm sorry, Master Zhang naturally understands what it means to 'nip danger in the bud'.
After reading Wang Er's resume, Zhang Hongbin couldn't help but smile bitterly, Master Zhang still indulged him too much, so much so that he left a bane. Next year, this guy will lead people to rebel, and the Zhang family, as his master's family, is afraid that he will naturally bear the brunt. It's just that after all, it is something that will happen in the future, and now even if Zhang Hongbin tells Master Zhang, I'm afraid he won't believe it.
If you say that you are the master, it is not a big deal to kill a tenant with a rod. It's just that Wang Er's popularity is too high, and God knows if the news leaked, he would not revolt in advance. This kind of behavior of joking with the lives of the Zhang family, Zhang Hongbin will not do anything he says.
"Young master, Wang Er has brought it!" The voice of the steward came from outside, and it was Steward Zhang, who he sent to call Wang Er.
"Okay, let him in!" Seeing that Wang Er had arrived, Zhang Hongbin could only contact Wang Er first and let Wang Er come in first.
Soon, the door opened, and a man walked straight in. Beside him is Zhang Hongbin's familiar manager Zhang, and this man is naturally Wang Er.
"Young master, I don't know what the matter is to find a villain?" Wang Er was quite respectful, and there was no displeasure on his face.
"Steward Zhang, I have something to talk to Wang Er, can you avoid it first?" Zhang Hongbin did not speak immediately, but said something to Steward Zhang.
Steward Zhang was a little embarrassed, but seeing that the third young master's attitude was very firm, he could only retreat obediently. Of course, the first time after he left, he went to Master Zhang and reported the matter of the third young master asking Wang Er for questioning today.
What is the follow-up situation, let's not talk about it, just say that Wang Er sat in front of Steward Zhang after he left, according to the meaning of the third young master.
"This is a middleman through me, the tea that I finally got it, to be honest, it is actually as cheap as those coarse teas, Lao Wang, you must be thirsty after a busy morning, just drink it." As a courtesy, or as a corporal of Lixian, Zhang Hongbin personally built a cup of tea for Wang Er.
Wang Erbiao was a little frightened, but under the persistence of the third young master, he bowed and thanked him, then picked up the tea and took a sip, and then shouted "Good tea".
In fact, not to mention Zhang Hongbin, even if it is Wang Er, he knows that the third young master actually knows that he doesn't know how to taste tea. But it's a kind of politeness to be pretentious.
"Lao Wang, I heard that the lower reaches of Shimoda Village have not been quiet recently?" Zhang Hongbin did not go into depth on this topic, but said something else.
"Report to the third young master, in fact, Shimoda Village is the same as last year, but it came to let us open the dam and release water. Both years have been dry, and the water level of the Baishui River has dropped a lot. There is a dam built in Zhangfu, so there is still enough water to use, but the flow of water has been cut off in Shimoda Village.
It is not denied that it is early winter, and it is a time for farming. But those of us who farm the land can still see that next year will still be so dry. At that time, if there is no water in Shimoda Village, I am afraid that there will really be nothing to grow. So in order to survive, they had to beg us to open the dam. Wang Er reported the truth and could hear it, but in fact, he was also moved by compassion.
"Opening the dam and releasing water is a trivial matter, but if the Zhang family's world is out of water at that time, or the water is not enough, what should we do?" Zhang Hongbin directly hit the key point and pointed it out.
"To tell the truth, Wang has a rotten life, and this life has long belonged to the master's family. But people's hearts are always made of meat, and everyone depends on the sky to eat, just watching them harvest next year, Wang always has a little trouble in his heart......" Wang Er said regretfully.
He was also kind in saying this, and did not ask the master to release the water, because he was not qualified to make such an opinion. But he is trying to persuade the third young master from the perspective of human nature, it doesn't matter if he succeeds or not, anyway, he is a tenant, and if he succeeds, his popularity will naturally soar, and if he fails, there is no loss.
However, from a few simple sentences, Zhang Hongbin heard that Wang Er may not have no brains, but he has never been to a formal academy and has not read books, and the means that can be used are just common crop tricks, and he can't say that he learned from listening to and hearing books. After all, this method is too obvious, and there is no obvious meaning at all, and if you are a person of insight, you will naturally not make such a low-level mistake.
"I don't talk nonsense with you, if they don't harvest next year, thinking that there is no way to live, the government will collect taxes from them again, maybe they will have to kill a few to wait. Thinking about it, my brain was hot and I directly copied the guy, Lao Wang, who do you think should be responsible for this responsibility? Zhang Hongbin, with a very hypothetical statement, said what might happen in the future.
"This ......" Wang Er was startled at first, and then fell into deep thought.
However, this made Zhang Hongbin confirm one thing, that is, Wang Er may not want to rebel, in fact, according to his identity, there will be no shortage of food. If they can live, then who will rebel? Besides, looking at him now, I am afraid that he has not planned a rebellion, unless he has reached the level of those senior politicians who can deny people in the opposite direction, there is no reason why nothing can be seen from his eyes and face.
Therefore, if he rebelled next year, then the only explanation is that he was also added by the yellow robe of those younger brothers below and had to rebel.
But in the end, he died at the hands of the younger brother, does it confirm the proverb that 'the little brother who succeeds is also the little brother who loses'?
Alas, Wang Er is also a poor man......
