Chapter 51: The Past Is Like Smoke
In a cosy kitchenette.
Zhang Luo drank green vegetable porridge.
and the third master, Xiaozhu talked about things in the county.
Zhang Xiaozhu hugged his head and regretted it.
Holding Zhang Luo's hand.
Let him definitely take her to the county next time.
Had dinner.
Zhang Luo took Xiaozhu's homework in the past few days.
After brushing up some skill experience.
Zhang Luo asked Xiaozhu to go back to the wing room to rest first.
Came to the temple.
Sit next to the third master.
"Third master, do you know an old scribe surnamed Liu in the county?"
The third master frowned and asked:
"Liu Dahu in that county, who is more than seventy?"
"He's coming to you for business?"
Zhang Luo shook his head, and the third master said with confidence:
"This willow tiger has deep roots in the county yashu."
"You must not have anything to do with him."
The third master stood up with a cane and continued:
"This Liu Dahu is from Dongshan Village."
"It's an old grudge with our Zhenhaiwei."
Zhang Luo asked:
"Even if he's from Dongshan Village."
"Just because of a few things, have you been unable to get along with Zhenhaiwei?"
Zhang Luo had already understood it clearly with Sect Kang.
Liu Dahu was no longer in Dongshan Village decades ago.
It is the leader of the county government house in charge of tax and silver.
Zhenhaiwei belongs to the military guard.
is not under the control of the county, and there should be very little intersection with Liu Dahu.
δΈη· says:
"The rice fields in the back mountains have been around for a few years."
"If you want to talk about the entanglement between Zhen Haiwei and Liu Dahu."
"I have to start from fifty years ago, the father of a hundred households.
"I talked about it when I was here."
The third master walked around the temple with a cane and said:
"At that time, I was still young, and Liu Dahu had just become a scribe."
"He came to our guard."
"I want to help me with some goods."
Hearing this, Zhang Luo understood a little.
This fledgling Liu Dahu.
It is to smuggle through Zhenhaiwei.
Of course, this kind of thing is not strange in coastal guards.
It's not bad just to borrow it.
Generally, it is smuggled by the guards themselves.
"Too old and hundred, I don't want to offend the people in the county."
"Besides, at that time, the guard also helped the county commander."
"It's nothing new."
Zhang Luo couldn't blame the behavior of his predecessors.
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhenhaiwei was such a guard.
It's already a rarity.
"The first few days went well."
"Later, Liu Dahu wanted to take more goods."
"It's all promised."
"But by coincidence, I found something that Liu Dahu wanted to smuggle."
"What's that?"
"Armor."
Zhang Luo was speechless for a moment.
In feudal times.
Armor is a very important military material.
Which civilian in the county town dares to come out in armor.
It is guaranteed to be held by the government immediately.
The flesh sins are the lightest.
If it's just some money goods.
The old man could barely agree.
Can help smuggle armor.
On the southeast coast there is no one else who needs armor.
There are only pirates and pirates.
"Zhenhaiwei has been fighting against the Japanese all year round."
"As a hundred households, how can you help sell armor to thieves."
"After that, the old hundred households detained the goods."
"I'm going to go to the county government to denounce him."
"What happened next?"
"Back? Liu Dahu is very cunning. β
"Taking advantage of the imperial history of the imperial court, I went down to patrol and sued Zhenhaiwei for smuggling armor."
"Too old and hundreds of households were dismissed by the imperial history."
"I took office in one hundred households to help my father."
"When I went to the county, I raised some money in all the places where Wei could go."
"That's why the old officials were reinstated."
"It's a pity ......"
The third master suddenly stood in place with a cane and sighed.
"Too old and hundreds of households can't stand the blow after this."
"He passed away in less than a year."
"Hundreds of families have lost their fathers."
"My body is getting weaker and weaker."
"During a rescue of Fuzhou."
"Victimized by the Bandits."
"In the end, I didn't live past the age of forty."
Zhang Luo pondered in place.
The previous mystery on the genealogy of the guard has been solved.
Liu Dahu is still safe and sound.
A scribe alone cannot do that.
There must be bigger people behind him.
Able to smuggle armor.
He must be a high-ranking official belonging to the military system of a province.
The death of the old hundred.
Could there be another reason?
No wonder Liu Dahu and his younger brothers.
It's been targeting Zhenhaiwei.
The two parties have really had a grudge for a long time.
The third master looked at Zhang Luo and said:
"It's all a trivial matter from the old days of the guard."
"It has nothing to do with you."
"The most important thing for you right now is to study hard."
The people of Zhenhaiwei must have known that things were not so simple.
But Zhenhaiwei is just a small coastal guard.
I can't even speak in the county.
I can't delve into this anymore.
saw the third master with a deep look on crutches.
Zhang Luo smiled and said:
"Don't worry, third master, I'm just a little curious."
After a few more words of explanation to the third master.
Back in the wing.
Zhang Luo sat on a wooden chair.
Recalling this trip to Jinjiang County.
Through this trip.
Zhang Luo understands that he has been brushing up his experience in the health center.
The idea of accumulating knowledge and soaring in the examination is unrealistic.
Now is not the time of Hongwu Yongle.
Nor before the Civil Fort.
The southeast is unstable.
The Jiajing Dynasty was under the scorching prosperity.
It's the eve of darkness.
Fujian is the hardest hit area by the pirates.
I don't know if I just read the dead book, and I won't be able to come out until the Year of the Monkey.
Sort this out.
Zhang Luo set a preliminary goal for himself.
Just get some more money.
You have to have money to have a stable foundation for studying.
The sea salt in the seaside tidal flats is almost taken.
The fuel for burning refined salt is also close to running out.
I want to continue refining refined salt.
You have to ask the third master to ask for some land.
Although you can make a lot of money selling refined salt.
But once the southeast region enters the summer.
The rainy season is frequent, and it is difficult to dry salt at the beach.
You have to find some more stable ways to make money.
Sweet potatoes have been planted for more than a month.
There are still days left until the time of harvest.
The cauliflower is fast.
It usually takes two months for the cauliflower to ripen.
Zhang Luo intends to wait after the first batch of cauliflower is ripe.
Promote it throughout Zhenhaiwei.
The next morning.
Zhang Luo no longer needs to go to the temple for morning classes.
He brought a lot of farm tools with him early in the morning.
came to the two acres of land that he had cultivated.
During the few days that Zhang Luo stayed in the county seat.
Zhang Xiaozhu will come to work in the field when he is free.
She picked up all the stones on the side.
Green sweet potato leaves grow on rice paddies.
With the early morning sun spilling.
It's a good mood to watch.
Today, Zhang Luo is here to fertilize sweet potatoes for the second time.
Some time ago, the ashes of plants and trees burned with refined salt.
It was saved by Zhang Luo.
Mix it with conventional fertilizers.
Can be turned into a better potash.
Zhang Luo slowly applied the fertilizer.
When the busy work is over, the morning class of those babies is over.
"Senior brother, the third master called you to eat."
Zhang Luo wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.
Return:
"Okay, I'll be back."
