Chapter 4 The people are sad and have other things

Li Xun stood beside Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and watched all this, sighed, and said, "I didn't think that your family had just arrived in the place, and the matter that the people were prone to conflict with was solved."

"How can it be luck? This is called an opportunity, other officials come by land, without the eighteen big ships so conspicuous, so many people will not gather, even if they come, if my family does not cook for the people, the people will not recognize my father, no one to talk about the past, then it is impossible to reassure the people. ”

Zhang Xiaobao saw that his efforts were attributed to luck by Li Xun, and retorted beside him.

Li Xun didn't say anything this time, watching that the people on the boat were almost down, and they also climbed down the suspension ladder next to them, and fifty-six people had been soaking in the water to protect the people on the small boat to land safely.

Zhang Zhong will already have a general understanding of the matter, the state capital is placed in Wulei County, but the largest county in the state is Yushan County, in addition to himself, who is also a military and political assassin, there are four people in the house, two people who are also responsible for the affairs of two divisions, and three sword and pen officials, as well as fifty government soldiers and six miscellaneous people.

It is impossible for the government soldiers to stay, and they have to follow the departing people, this soldier was raised by the departing officials at their own expense, even if Zhang Zhong is left, he will not dare to ask for it.

In this way, the state seems to have become an ornament, but the yamen of the four counties are fully staffed, the county order, the county officer, the chief book, the county lieutenant, the warehouse planner, the pawn, the copywriter, and the other people who are messy, there are no less, each county has more than 100 officials, and there are also people who follow the county order and other followers who exceed the military system.

In this way, if there is anything in the state, you need to consult with the county orders, the local government is stronger than the state capital, Zhang Zhong only now understands why the last term would be so happy to see him come over with an official document, and he was restricted everywhere to do things, and no one would be comfortable.

"Zhang Tingshi, it's better to let them do it first, we will each go back to deal with local affairs, and the affairs related to the people must not be slack." Zhang Yi, the county commander of Wulei County, was full, watching others work, being blown by the sea breeze and being exposed to the scorching sun, he couldn't stand still, and said to Zhang Zhong.

"Well, if you are busy with something, then go and get busy first, I don't know if the judge in this official state can help me find it?" Zhang Zhong wanted to meet those four people, the four of them were in charge of the affairs of the six parts, and he didn't know what to do, which can be described as a black eye.

The county commander Zhang Yi showed an expression that I didn't know either, "Zhang Tingshi, those four people may have gone to investigate elsewhere, it is better for adults to go back to the state capital and wait." ”

"No need, the official will make his own arrangements in a while, and you can go back to do things." Zhang Zhong knew that many of these people were resistant to his new assassin history, so when he didn't understand their specific thoughts, he would investigate them slowly.

As soon as Zhang Zhong's words were finished, some people immediately left in a hurry, and some people looked at Zhang Zhong with a look of wanting to speak and stopped, and saw that Zhang Zhong did not have the intention of leaving them to ask, and they also dispersed.

Zhang Zhong is not in a hurry to return to the state capital, he stands in place and watches the people build a simple wharf, he is waiting for the people in the state capital to come and find it, but there is nothing big about it, if he doesn't come today, he will go back to the boat to sleep that night, if he doesn't come tomorrow, continue to sleep, and see who can survive whom?

"When you're old, your body won't be good, go back first, Lord Zhang is watching here, and the things in the state will be clear in the future." The old man just now smashed his waist with his hand, threw down the sentence, and was helped away step by step.

Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan and Li Xun also came down, and when they came ashore, they instructed the fifty-six people: "Continue swimming, come up again in the evening, the sea water is easy to swim, feel the sea water more, especially the waves, this time I know why I put fish in the pool in the first place." ”

Fifty-six people didn't say anything, their heads sank, and when they went down and came out again, they were already a few feet away, and they spread out in groups of two.

Li Xun stood on the shore and looked at the sea in the distance, "It looks pretty good here, I caught a few big fish on the road, and I can eat fish every day in the future." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to eat fish first, our dock should build a new one here, and the dock should be repaired well, just follow the way you came, transport the things here back, transport the things over there, don't unload the goods halfway, if you want to buy things over there, you have to come to Luzhou."

This is Zhang Xiaobao's next step, Lu is such a big place, the population is too small, no wonder it can't be developed, no one has anything to develop, there are those specialties, except for the tribute, why don't the others sell more? There must be something in it.

There is also a group of mountains over there, that is, 100,000 mountains, which belong to the same place as the primeval forest, similar to the Xiangshan in Huayuan County, which is larger than the Xiangshan and has countless good things in it.

There may be people who come to collect all kinds of things, because the road is not easy to walk, and the place where they can be sold at a price is far away, so the people who come to collect the goods deliberately keep the price very low.

Not to mention this time, even when I came, there were still some villagers in some places who had to be suppressed by foreign buyers, and it was difficult for villagers to go out and sell them themselves.

Fortunately, my own family came, and I don't have to be afraid of being suppressed in the future, the reason why I can be suppressed is related to some goods shipped from outside, such as cloth and drugs that are not available locally, etc., my family has a transport fleet, and I sell it at a low price after taking it, I don't believe that there are still people who dare to suppress it.

Zhang Xiaobao analyzed various situations, and Wang Juan also thought of something, "Xiaobao, I think the people here are too conservative, why don't they raise more poultry and livestock?" If you take out what you produce and sell it, your life will be better. ”

"Where are there no conservative people? It's simple to take it out and sell it, take it out for your own family, you can't sell it at a price when it's close, and it's not enough to spend it back and forth when it's far away. There are a lot of transactions in our family, but they are all put in other people's names.

If you really become a businessman, it will be very troublesome to do things in the future, and they are used to living like this, for example, in our villages in remote areas at that time, there were still people who only raised two pigs and kept them for the New Year to kill and eat meat, and still raised a dozen chickens to wait for eggs.

The main thing is that these things need capital, after an illness, all the things are gone, they are ordinary people, it takes money to build a house, it takes money to get married, and it takes money to get sick. ”

Zhang Xiaobao actually doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, as long as the guidance of the official, the people can live well, some people are shrewd, but they forget about the good quality, in addition to money in their eyes, there is no family, no friendship, and even love has become extravagant.

When the two of them said such things, only their lips moved, Li Xun didn't know anything next to him, he was used to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's communication methods, it was amazing to him, I don't know how the two people could understand, and in the end, it came down to the reason why the two of them were together when they opened their eyes, and it took a long time.

Thinking that there will be a lot of money in the future, Li Xun felt that his mind was as broad as the sea and the blue sky, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "I will write a letter in a while, let people go to the military post, and explain the matter, Uncle Huang doesn't know what to think, don't go to the military post to talk about your father's affairs here, I decided to pull a few more merchants in and build a bigger dock." ”

Li Xun was very excited when he spoke, he couldn't compete for a position he shouldn't think about, but he could make a lot of money, with money, not only could he be able to eat and drink, but also help the poor.

"I didn't send the details to the military post, maybe the emperor noticed some things here, and didn't want the people here to prepare in advance, it is estimated that in addition to the tribute given to the emperor, the tribute here will be charged a lot more, to a certain prince or minister, or even a big family.

Don't look for anyone else in the dockyard here, just the two of us, because in the future, we will not only be regular merchant ships, but also warships, can we let others join? You are a national relative, my father is ***, if you want the emperor to know about the warship, then there is nothing to do, and if other merchants use us, it will be troublesome. ”

Zhang Xiaobao is not shy about Li Xun, for example, let him know about the training of the army, and this time it is the same, the various businesses of the two families are mixed with each other, and there is also a connection in ***, a grasshopper on a rope, as long as fun things take him.

"To be a warship? Your family wants to rebel? Then I can't protect you, the guards at the training point are nothing, and it's okay to hide some weapons, after all, your family has done too much, and it is easy to be plotted by others, especially in other countries, Uncle Huang will not care if he knows about it, but your father is an official here, and he wants to build a warship, it doesn't seem right? ”

Li Xun still protects the Zhang family in his heart, and he doesn't think that the Zhang family will rebel, so why build a warship?

Zhang Xiaobao glared at Li Xun, "What do you create and what kind of rebellion?" Do you know about experiments? There are a lot of people on the side of the imperial court who don't, how long will it take to teach them? Let's apply a new technology on the ship, and tell it to the emperor, and you will tell it directly, so that the emperor knows what he wants, and he can follow it if he wants to do it.

Let's build a big ship, and go to sea to see elsewhere in the future, *** There will be those who have come to our side, let's go to a farther place, don't use warships, just use ordinary cargo ships, what should we do if we are beaten? ”

"How long will it take to get out?" Li Xun was also moved by what Zhang Xiaobao said.

"It's early, let's settle the local matter first." Zhang Xiaobao estimated that he would have to wait a few years, and it was not so easy to build a big ship.
