"Xiaobao, come here quickly and help me decorate things." Wang Juan on the mountain seemed to have found something interesting. He greeted Zhang Xiaobao, and waited for Zhang Xiaobao to come over. It turned out to be some red in the mountains, smaller than Shancha, and they were all sour and sour. .
"Come on, put these in the pocket of your clothes, I will pick them again, so much, I drool when I look at it." Wang Juan struggling to reach down a branch from the tree, grasped it tightly, relying on the weight of his body to stop it. The branch bounced back, pulling it down, and stuffing it into the pocket of Zhang Xiaobao's clothes.
The two people who followed the protection immediately came to help. After a while, Zhang Xiaobao's pockets of clothes and trousers were all filled, and the two people also pocketed some with their clothes.
"Okay, good harvest. Waiting to get there, tell them to pick some and send them to their home when they come back, and we will give them other things." Wang Juan clapped his hands and walked to the front.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the swollen bag on his body, and then at Wang Juan’s collapsed side. He walked two steps quickly and caught up with Wang Juan and said: "Cuckoo, you love to eat this, eat while walking, come, I I'll give you some."
"No, go back and eat together. I don't eat alone, Xiaobao, don't hold me, you are a man, you have to do more." Wang Juan put his hand in his pocket, preventing Zhang Xiaobao from pulling away, and breaking away from Zhang Xiaobao. Pulled and ran to the front with a smile.
"Let's run, I'll eat by myself, greedy you." Zhang Xiaobao chased and said, and threw a few mountains red in his mouth, his sour face almost wrinkled together.
The people who followed behind to protect looked at each other. It seemed that it was the first time to see the two little ancestors so happy. They also showed a happy look, speeding up their pace.
After an hour of walking, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan rushed to the construction site. Hundreds of farmers were busy here, digging large holes in the middle of the mountains that were not part of their village, and the excavated soil piled up. Go to two lower hills and prepare to build a dam.
The people who are responsible for cooking for them are picking firewood, and from time to time they get some edible wild fruits, or pick them up, or rub their sleeves, and put them in their mouths for a bite.
"Yes, that’s it. At that time, it’s not our land in name, but it’s actually used by us. Put some fish, shrimp and crabs in it, and you don’t need to take care of it. There will be as much as there is left. The yield in the mountains is small, but the taste good."
Zhang Xiaobao used a slingshot to knock down two wild fruits, and Wang Juan, one by one. They also did not wash, wipe them and eat them. The cooked place was soft and soft. After one bite, the juice inside would flow down the corners of his mouth while eating. While talking about the situation here.
"Well, it's better to have a few more people who come to occupy the land. Let's clean up the contents and collect their tolls at that time."
Wang Juan licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue and happily agreed.
"Little son, little lady, the work here is so gray, it is better to go there, there is a small pond formed by a spring, which is worse than this side."
While Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were watching here, a person in the inner courtyard came and pointed to the mountain next to them to persuade them.
"Really? Great, let's go, Xiaobao, let's go and see if it's mineral water, it's better to be warm, so we can come to soak in winter."
When Wang Juan heard that he was interested, he pulled Zhang Xiaobao and walked over there. Zhang Xiaobao looked over there. There was no hot spring at all. "Don’t dream, how could there be hot springs? I found out last time if there are ones, maybe they just came out. The spring eye leads to the underground river."
"Look at that too, hurry up." Wang Juan pulled Zhang Xiaobao to speed up, and the two protectors behind him also trot.
…
There are mulberries in the forest, trickling. The sun shines through the leaves. Asakusa is withered and yellow, and the wild fruits are fragrant. The mountains are in the middle of the water.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan stood on the top of this mountain, feeling the breath of the surroundings, looking at the dreamlike scenery in front of them, taking a long breath, and then slowly exhaling, a kind of indescribable joy lingers in their hearts.
"It's so beautiful, Xiaobao, we didn't circle this place back then?" Wang Juan squinted his eyes to look at the clear water in the surrounding mountains, sucked his nose, and asked.
"Okay, it doesn't seem to be there. I didn't find any water here. It's really spring water, but it's not warm." Zhang Xiaobao knew what Wang Juan was going to say, and he regretted it a little bit.
"What about that? This place can't be given to others. I want it. I will come to play in the future. I will find a way to get spring water." Wang Juan was anxious, and she wanted to have such a beautiful thing.
"Then think of a way and wait for someone to get this place down, and we will buy it from him. It seems that this piece of land cannot be obtained from the government. Look at the surrounding mulberry trees, there is something to be produced."
Zhang Xiaobao originally planned to buy this place, but found that the surrounding trees were mulberry trees. Now I understand that the land here cannot be bought casually. It belongs to the crop forest and is closed to you, not like Huangshang.
"Can you really buy it? Don't you have a way to kill the tree, from the root to the top. If the tree is dead, you can buy it here." Wang Juan suggested.
"I'm stupid, this tree belongs to our family. We still use it when we are breeding silkworms. Let someone else get a reward. Then we will secretly exchange it with another place. We have already taken advantage of such an enclosure. , Don’t be too greedy. Who can get a reward? I know that one person is most suitable."
Zhang Xiaobao rejected Wang Juan's proposal without even thinking about it, and could only make ideas on others.
"Who, is it the Li Xun boy? If he takes over, can he replace us? He still wants to annex us."
The first thing Wang Juan thought of was Li Xun. After all, he was an emperor. He wanted a fief. As long as it was not too big, there would be no problem.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head and said, "It's not him. I can't prevent him. How can I give him a chance? It's the county magistrate. Cheng County magistrate is not working. He is going to leave and will not give him a reward. Ling, as long as we get some political achievements for him, if we have a good relationship with him, he may be rewarded. Let's let him ask for a place here, and then we will exchange with him elsewhere.
The county magistrate who just came here can’t just leave for a few days. Why should he stay for a year or a half? It’s necessary to build a good relationship. It’s best to mention one from the local area. It’s unlikely. "
"Then what if the county magistrate doesn't listen to us? There are many people who are like this. They want to make money when they come down from above. Are you going to help him corrupt to the end?"
Wang Juan is a little worried about the next county magistrate. She has watched a lot of movies, and they are all acting like this, especially in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Almost every dynasty is the richest. There are all officials there. It's so fat, let alone the movie, it's the same where she and Zhang Xiaobao came, otherwise how could she be betrayed
Zhang Xiaobao also knew that it would be difficult to come to a corrupt official, so he sighed, "Let’s talk about it then, I don’t know how Steward Zhang talked about it? I hope things can be done well."
"Well, there shouldn't be any problems, go, go down, I'll see if the water is cold or warm." Wang Juan didn't worry about the steward Zhang, and pulled Zhang Xiaobao down.
…
"What do you think of the ninety wen and a catty of seeds? It dropped forty liters in one fell swoop. It's almost half of the time. The price of your food hasn't dropped so much, right?"
Steward Zhang is still talking to a group of businessmen. Just now, the Patriarchs of the Zhang Family and Wang’s family have all come, and the guarantor also followed here. Originally, there were no guarantors here, but the water and clouds came out. Quite a lot of vehicles pulled people from Xiao Luoshui to this side, and Yafang had to find a place nearby to place people in order to avoid too late.
Of course, it is impossible for these owners to sell every kind of grain to King Zhang’s family for 10,000 shi. Then they can’t make any money.
After some discussions, these households sold the three main foods to Zhangwang’s two Zhuangzi for 5,000 shi each, which was a very low price. In addition to this, it was not too important to buy two more. The price was also the cost. One is soybeans, this one sells 2,000 shi, and one sorghum, this one sells 1,500 shi, which makes these owners feel distressed.
After signing the paperwork, they left, and they started discussing the seed. When they heard the offer from Mr. Zhang, the businessmen shook their heads.
"Steward Zhang, the price is still too high. To be honest, the things we sell to you are all at the cost, and half of the shipping costs. This is not good. You can't make us lose money, can you? We will meet frequently in the future. Well, only when we have time, we will take the opportunity to look at shops in various places to come here."
Jin Dongjia said to Steward Zhang with a sad face that he really couldn't give up such a good seed. The main reason was that he planned to buy it once at a higher price.
When Steward Zhang heard this, he hesitated. He wanted to continue to squeeze more. He was really worried that they would join hands to raise the price of food here. He also knew that the young man’s plan was to add a new county magistrate. Hold it up, the people naturally have to consider whether they can eat.
After thinking about it, Steward Zhang felt a little more relaxed, and said, "Then 80 cents, what do you think?"
"Well, eighty articles, Steward Zhang, we want to buy more, at least we have to buy more than half of yours here. Look, can we drop more?"
Another owner still thinks it is expensive. Zhangjiazhuangzhuang grows a lot of rice and wants to buy more. It is difficult to raise so much money for a while.
"Actually, there is another way. It can be cheaper. It only costs seventy wen, but you can’t change money. You have to change shops. Small shops in the capital. You have to do everything. As long as you take out the shops, you will earn a little in it. It's okay."
It was almost time for Zhang Guanjia to meet, and finally said the matter.
