Steward Zhang walked out of the pavilion, almost jumping out with a happy mood, only his toes were on the ground, and the whole person seemed to have changed. Now the person who has always laughed casually, now he is excited and his mouth is still Humming a tune that seems to be out of tune.
Steward Zhang is happy. He knows that the young man is so powerful. I didn't expect that he would hate him so much. No wonder he was wronged yesterday. The young man said to be patience. It turned out that this idea is a bit counterproductive. What should Chen Zhuangzi do
"When did you say that Chen's Zhuangzi made this kind of trick bad? If you don't wait for so many people to repair the river, you can diversify the river by drawing out some manpower and going around. A small mountain bag, not big, just a few, but the water won’t get there, unless your Chen family digs the mountain."
Steward Zhang seemed to feel that just thinking about it couldn't make him happy. He muttered as he walked, and when he got to Xiaohe, he directly found the person in charge of things here, and ordered:
"Immediately summon a thousand people for me, and go over there to dig the river for me. The little son told me that I don’t have to take care of other people’s houses, and I’ll be directly connected with the one dug by Zheng’s family. It must be done in one day. Liuli Road, go quickly, go quickly."
As soon as the man heard that it was arranged by the young man, he did not dare to delay, so he immediately went to find someone and shouted a few times. There were 1,300,400 people coming over there, and the person in charge was about to say that I would leave 1,000, so the housekeeper Zhang Spoke up.
"That's it. Go and dig right away. If you can't finish digging during the day, you can continue digging at night. I will provide you with good food and pay wages. But if anyone doesn't work hard, they don't have to work here."
As soon as these people heard that they still had wages, they were originally volunteers for 20 days and were happy, especially at night when they said they had good food. Since Mr. Zhang said that, it is definitely a good thing.
I took the tools and walked there. Originally, this place was already marked out. Zhang Xiaobao didn’t want the water below to be cut off, so he changed it. Now it’s just right to use. I love whoever I love below, but it’s a kind of dry land. Why use so much water
The one thousand three hundred and four hundred people only dug a six-mile river course, and did not require a large boat. It was still very easy, especially when the snow was over and the spring was full, the ground was soft. Can dig out a large piece.
Steward Zhang watched them work, and didn’t plan to go to other places. He just waited, and when the river was dug, he blocked the other side. The other side belonged to the Wang family and the Ge family. He wanted to come. The Ge family will not help the Chen family.
So many people dig into the night in one breath and light a torch to continue their work. During the rest, Mr. Zhang gave these people four dishes and one wine. He didn't drink any soup. He drank a large bowl of wine alone to warm up his body. In addition, it can also make these people more energetic, and it will not work if they drink too much.
When these people saw the wine and vegetables were really good, they patted their chests and promised that they would not sleep until they finished digging. Steward Zhang brought some copper coins and gave them ten each. The enthusiasm of these people was thoroughly mobilized.
Steward Zhang didn't know that he was sleepy. He was always energized. From time to time, he glanced at the direction of Chen's Zhuangzi, but was blocked by the mountain, and he also felt very happy.
After eating, these people began to dry again by the light of the lantern. After drinking, they were warm all over, especially at night, which made them dry faster.
In the middle of the night, the river connected to that side was dug out. After the water was released, it could continue to widen. Now the water level is low, so don't worry.
The rest of the work doesn’t need to be taken care of by the people who do the work. Mr. Zhang asked them to go back and rest, waiting to understand that let the little son and the little lady come over, that ordinary people can’t do that work, Er Niu will be able to do it, but it’s a pity that he followed the master to Beijing Up.
Steward Zhang is still not sleepy now, he is still excited there, after thinking about it, he has to go back to sleep, otherwise he will not have the strength to deal with the Chen family tomorrow, he is ready to breathe out a bad breath.
Many people can't sleep in the night.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were lying on the couch and talking there.
"Cuckoo, are you sure tomorrow? The soil quality of the place has not been tested. I am afraid that something will happen at that time." Zhang Xiaobao lay there, looking at the roof, and asked Wang Juan.
Wang Juan lay there, put his chin on the pillow, and said with a move of his head: "Don't worry, isn't it just a blast. I blew up the last place that blocked the water. I didn't stand there with a fire sickle. I ignite the fire. I stretched the gun line long. This should be fine. Pull it out for two miles."
"Our artillery line is a bamboo tube. How can you connect it so far? If you don't think of a way, don't get close, I don't worry." Zhang Xiaobao was still a little worried.
Wang Juan has heard Zhang Xiaobao say it six times. Knowing that he cares about himself, he had to say: "Then, let's put greased paper on the place below the ignition, and Nianzi will directly connect it to that place, and then I will use it to jump into the sky. Go for it, you can see if it works, put a few more, there is always one that can be stunned.
Oh, it's a big deal. I use a hundred thousand-ring firecrackers to connect to it. If it is not for fear that the medicine rope will get wet, I will just use the medicine rope. I know to be safe and go to sleep. "
"Yes, just use the medicine rope. One strand will not work. Let's get dozens of strands and put them together. What will happen to the damp? Let it be made over there tomorrow morning and sleep." Zhang Xiaobao came up with an idea, this Just feel at ease.
Wang Juan turned over and went to sleep with him. She knew that there were actually many ways, but Zhang Xiaobao was worried that something happened to her and she would be messed up.
Steward Zhang did not sleep at this time, nor did he sleep with his wife. He wanted to sleep by himself today and lay there muttering: "You are finished, my little son helped me take revenge. He even dared to block the way. He grew a little courageous. Tomorrow, just one block over there, I'm going to sleep."
"I want to see if the master and housekeeper of the Chen family can treat me like yesterday and today? Huh... I am not the former housekeeper Zhang. Anyone can bully me. No, I'm going to sleep. Up."
"I didn't even say that I had contact with the Zhang family, I don't believe it, how could I ran away... Sleep..."
"Good day..."
"..."
Among the Chen family Zhuangzi, Chen Gengxin, the head of the Chen family, was not asleep either, and was talking to the housekeeper Chen in the study.
"Housekeeper Chen, did you say that we did this a bit too much? The Zhang family did not recruit us, nor did we provoke us. We are blocking the river and the road. If they find the emperor's nephew, they will not Will you find an excuse to arrest us too?"
Chen Gengxin said to Steward Chen with concern.
"Master, don't worry, no matter how powerful they are, they will always find a reason. After all, this river was originally dug out by the Yuan family. It was originally under our control. As for blocking the road, master, if not like this, how can we get it? benefit
They have encountered several things, but they won. If we are so obedient, there will be no place for the Chen family. If we do it this time, we will not only benefit from his Zhang family, but other businessmen will know. Now, you will also understand how good we are. It will save you much trouble if you do business again. "
Steward Chen persuaded there, as if he was about to succeed, excited.
Chen Gengxin was also moved by what the housekeeper said. After thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. He relaxed a little, and said with a smile: "Housekeeper Chen, you are good. If you change to someone else, you will definitely be afraid of them. What will happen? Not to mention that the benefits are not obtained, and the business at home is also difficult. This time, Steward Chen, you have done a great job."
"The master should not exaggerate such small things. Small ones should do this. From now on, no one in the Chen family dares to provoke me in this place. Except for the emperor's nephew, should anyone else be afraid?"
Steward Chen said modestly, but the triumphant expression could not be concealed. Chen Gengxin naturally wouldn’t care about his expression. He closed his eyes and thought about the future, and said: "Steward Chen, wait after the spring ploughing. , Just go out with me, you have to do some business."
Mr. Chen’s family didn’t expect that the master, that is, his brother-in-law, would actually be kind and let himself intervene in the family’s business. He was so happy that he couldn’t speak for a while, and said after a while, "Master, rest assured, the little one will definitely buy and sell. It’s done. If it’s a bit too late, please drive out the little one, sir, sir, it’s late, go to bed earlier."
"Well, it's okay, go to your sister, don't worry, do things well, it doesn't matter if it's a little worse." Chen Gengxin stood up, said to Steward Chen, turned and left, and headed for the other wing.
Butler Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the brother-in-law still wants to go to her sister, his position in the house will not be taken away.
After staying for a while, the housekeeper Chen closed the door gently, stood in the yard, and said to himself: "I will talk to the Zhang family tomorrow, well, go early in the morning."
…
In the morning of the next day, everyone who had things on their minds got up.
Steward Zhang waited for the little son and the little lady to finish their meal, and tried to calm himself down, and said to the two people: "Little son, little lady, there should be sandbags on the other side. By then, the river on the other side will be open. It’s time for the Chen family to be unlucky. Thank you, Young Master and Young Lady, for helping me get revenge."
"Family, what thanks, let's go, go there early so that you can blow up the remaining section." Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand and walked out of the palace.
As soon as the three of them arrived outside, they saw someone coming over there. When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were puzzled, the housekeeper Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "Little son, little lady, this is him, he is the housekeeper of the Chen family. This time I don’t know what I’m doing here, I will talk to him over."
"Hehe, it seems that the Chen family is not simple. There must be some request coming over, or listen to what they make." Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile.
