Seeing Zhou Zhou's contemplative expression.

The other party continued: "You can think it through, if you figure it out, you can come to the county guard mansion to find Lin Sima." ”

After saying that, the other party was about to turn around, Zhou Zhou stepped forward and said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it Lin Sima?" ”

"Exactly."

Zhou Zhou arched his hand and said, "I have been taught." ”

Lin Dangfeng said with a smile: "I know you have some ambitions to get ahead, this time in Lulong County, Beiping County, the county department is engaged in vacancies." You also know that Beiping County is a lower county, it belongs to no more than one county, the mouth is less than 10,000, the people are poor, the people are fierce, it is difficult to govern, and the county is only six products, as for the county department, it is only from the nine products, and there is very little hope for promotion in the future, so everyone is unwilling to go, I don't know if you are willing to give in? ”

Zhou Zhou heard the words and said: "When I was young, I was determined to be an official, not for promotion, for the benefit of the people, and for myself. What about the county department? It would be nice to be able to do things for the people. ”

When Lin Dangfeng saw Zhou Zhou's agreement, he smiled secretly in his heart, he just played a trick and deliberately made this matter extremely difficult to arouse the other party's ambition.

Lin Dangfeng laughed and said: "You donkey, you just don't go, you fight backwards, if you can write honestly, you are the first to be at the top of the county exam, and the position of any seven-grade in Zhuo County is far better than today." It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Zhou Zhou also laughed when he heard this, and asked: "If this is the case, it is not me Zhou Zhou, Lin Sima, I heard that Shanggu Gong wants to set up a naval army governor's mansion in Beiping County, and merge it with Yanshan by the sea to set up another county, it can be seen that Beiping County is also a place to show his strength, dare to ask me when I will take office?" ”

Lin Dangfeng nodded and said, "Let's go to the county guard mansion to get the approval of the civil official seal." ”

The next day, Zhou Zhou received the official seal in the county guard's mansion, as well as the usual money for settling-in. Zhou Zhou received the money, and immediately took his mother to the wharf in the south of Jixian County, spent dozens of money, and boarded a merchant ship transporting porcelain from Jixian County to Yongnu County, and went straight down the Yongji Canal to Yongnu County.

After arriving in Yongnu County, Zhou Zhou and his mother stayed overnight at the post station along the way. Zhou Zhou and his mother ate the food at the post station. Casually Zhou Zhou asked a poster: "What kind of boat can take a trip to Beiping County?" ”

The poster glanced at Zhou Zhou and asked with a smile: "Go to Beiping County, then dare to ask you whether you are going to the county government or the county government?" ”

"What's the difference?" Zhou Zhou asked rhetorically.

The post Ding said with a smile: "You don't know this, although the Beiping County Keeper Mansion is in Lulong County, but recently to run the salt field, the water army, the county guard and the county guard are resident at the mouth of the Sancha River, so you are going to Lulong County to take office, just to fight an empty air, to go to the county government to take office, just take the salt boat along Jixian County and the mouth of the Sancha River to go back and forth for a day or two, if you go to Lulong County, you have to take the official road, this official road was newly repaired last year, but it is still difficult to walk tightly, the road is often broken and the bridge collapses when the flood occurs. ”

Zhou Zhou couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, his mother was old and unbearable, so it would be best if he could take a boat. When Zhou Zhou took ten copper coins and thanked Yiding, he slept all night.

The next day, Zhou Zhou was at the wharf of Yongnu County, and it didn't take much effort to board a salt boat returning to the mouth of the Sancha River from Jixian County. After hearing that he was the newly appointed county minister, the boat boss was in awe, did not ask for the fare, and directly carried Zhou Zhou's mother and son to the mouth of the Sancha River.

For the county department, in the eyes of the people is unattainable, the boat boss has the heart to make friends, and the reception of good wine and meat at the moment.

Zhou Zhou also had the intention of understanding the local people of Beiping County through guò, and listened to the boat boss say that after the establishment of a new salt field last year, the preparation of the Naval Governor's Mansion, and the official road from Lulong County to Yongnu County, the Youzhou Thorn Mansion was overjoyed, and immediately let the county Cheng Zhou Bo be promoted from Zhengliupin County to Sipin County Shou.

This was promoted quickly, and Zhou Bo was born as a businessman, which became the talk of officialdom promotion.

However, Zhou Zhou was not much interested in the promotion of this officialdom, and just asked: "There are several salt boats between Jixian County and the mouth of the Sancha River every day. ”

The captain of the boat said with a smile: "When the salt farm first opened, it was not easy to have one on five or six days, but with the increase in the manpower of the salt field, the daily salt production has also increased. ”

Zhou Zhou summed it up and said, "Isn't it that a hundred quintals of salt are transported to Jixian every day." ”

The boat boss said proudly: "Yes, in the past, I used salt in Zhuo County, either in Bohai County, in the mountains and seas, or in Hedong Luyan, since the war with Li Tang, Li Tang has cut off the passage from Luyan to Zhuo County, but the price of salt in our Zhuo County has not risen but fallen, relying on the sea salt at the mouth of our Sancha River." ”

"Haha, now our sea salt in Zhuo County is not only self-sufficient, but also transported to Huaihuang, Yuyi Second Town, you also know that those rough people outside the Saiwai, the most lacking is salt and iron, selling salt from Jixian County to the grassland, a change of hands is enough to buy a big house in Jixian County, I heard that this year, the salt merchants in Zhuo County, are making a lot of money, where is it like us who run boats, earn some hard money, can only follow people to drink soup."

Zhou Zhou heard that he had a general understanding of Beiping County at the moment, and he thought that Beiping County, Yuyang, and Anle County were all sparsely populated poor and remote areas, so everyone in the officials was afraid of them and did not want to go. But at present, it seems that Beiping County is not what it used to be because of salt production, and in the long run, Beiping County is a place where you can show your strength.

After Zhou Zhou chatted with the boat boss for a few more words, when he returned to the cabin, his mother was a little seasick and couldn't eat, which made him quite worried, so he stayed in front of the bed all night.

After arriving at the mouth of the Sancha River the next day, his mother was fine, and Zhou Zhou was relieved. Walking out of the cabin, it was already afternoon, under the bright sun, the river was floating on the water, and the dock was a busy scene.

In front of the cargo warehouse at the wharf, the shirtless baton is carrying bags of salt on board, the merchant ship guys are counting the goods, in the dock on the side, the sound of banging and hammering wood sounds, the sawdust floats down the river to the downstream, a scene of hot shipbuilding, not far away there are five or six warships practicing on the river, and there are returning fishing boats, hanging high black sails are returning from the sea.

Zhou Zhou smelled the fresh river breeze, but felt a completely different atmosphere when he was studying at the county school on weekdays. On weekdays, I read books and bury my head in the bookcase, but I rarely come to the outdoors to see the world. Today is a refreshing sight to behold.

The world was in turmoil, and the princes of the Quartet were thinking about how to stabilize the territory and restore the prosperity of the great cause of the Great Sui in the early years, but here, on this newly emerging port, Zhou Zhou felt a vigorous and upward vitality. Until a year ago, it was a small fishing village.

I think that in the article of the county test, I criticized Li Chongjiu's salt and iron wine sales, and the right to the river was given to the merchants, so that the merchants could control the lifeblood of the country, which was the disaster of Tai'a's rebellion. Businessmen do not put production, can not add a thing, but buy and sell to obtain huge profits, this is a great evil, so all dynasties have suppressed business, if you want to dominate the world, you should also be based on agriculture, down-to-earth is.

But the reality gave him a slap in the face, looking at the wharf at the mouth of the Sancha River, and then thinking of the outside of the Saiwai, I heard that the prosperous Huaihuang, Yuyi two towns, were all built by Lin Dangfeng, Zhou Bo and other Youzhou merchants, could it be that the ambition in the chest of this Shanggu Gong, who was born in a poor family like him, is not only to restore the old concept of the great cause, but even the rule of three generations that Confucianism is extremely respected, his ambition is to create an unprecedented prosperous era.

This thought just swept through Zhou Zhou's mind, and he immediately thought about how could this be, the rule of three generations is a prosperous era that even Confucius admires, if Li Chongjiu can achieve this, wouldn't he become a saint.

Zhou Zhou went ashore with his mother, found a passer-by casually, asked for the location of the county guard's mansion, and then Zhou Zhou went to the county guard's mansion first.

Along the way, this small fishing village in the past, full of old and new houses, salt workers, shipwrights, fishermen, merchants, naval soldiers, county officials, and family members live together, Rao is five or six thousand people, no wonder Beiping County applied to Youzhou Thorn Shifu to set up a new county at the mouth of the Sancha River.

Before arriving at the county guard's mansion, Zhou Zhou couldn't help but be surprised, this county guard's mansion was obviously rebuilt from an ancestral hall, and it was not even as good as a county yamen in Zhuo County.

After the report, he entered the door, but the doorman told Zhou County Shou to go to the salt field to inspect and asked him to sit down.

When it was almost night, Zhou Zhou was worried about his mother and was about to say goodbye, but Zhou Bo came back with a dusty look. Zhou Zhou looked at this Zhou Junshou, who was born in a businessman, but saw that he was not good-looking, and he did not have the elegant atmosphere of the bookish smell of the officials he had seen in the past.

This Zhou Junshou smelled of salted fish, but it was a shrewd and dry taste. The other party read Zhou Zhou's paperwork, and said with a smile: "It's another family, great, it's still a Maocai Gong, and I am lacking a scholar like you in Beiping County." ”

Zhou Zhou said humbly: "How dare you, how dare you." ”

The county guard Zhou Bo said with a smile: "You still don't believe it, other officials, I heard that they are going to come to Beiping, one by one, they call them sick, and those who keep filial piety say that they don't want to go, that is, we people in the market, and the rough men came." ”

Zhou Zhou couldn't help but smile when he heard Zhou Bo's self-deprecation, and said: "Zhou Junshou is shrewd and capable, not to mention that he is a market apprentice, even if he is an ordinary scholar, he is far inferior." Looking at the changes in the three forks of the estuary, there is a sigh of vicissitudes in the sea. ”

Zhou Zhou's words can be said to be from the heart, looking at the earth-shaking changes in less than a year at the mouth of the Sancha River, he has always boasted of himself, and he also thinks that he can't do it.

Zhou Bo listened to Zhou Zhou's words, and said with a smile: "I am not modest when you say this, a year ago, there were only hundreds of people in a small fishing village here, no traffic, and even the news of the world changing hands, but now it is only a year, you see that it is prosperous, and it is not inferior to Yanshan County in the Bohai Sea." ”

"If you want to say that in the future, I dare to shoot and you are far away, this is not only me, but also Shanggu Gong's ambition, we want to impress the world, do you dare to make a bet with me, three years later, this is another Jiangdu." (To be continued.) )
