Recalling yesterday, the small river passed by my door, and it has now been cut off; the breath dissipated, I asked the small river to go over there, the sky was blue.
This is how Steward Chen and Steward Zhang thought.
One day, just a day later, the master and slave status of the two people had a big change, and the hearts of the two were mixed.
The day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, Steward Chen felt that as soon as he stepped on the cloud, he would have people kicked down and smashed. He looked at the appearance of Steward Zhang, and listened to what Steward Zhang said. He thought it would be a dream. , Zhang Family, it's really not a vain name.
Butler Zhang is not in a peaceful mood at this time. The little boy is a little boy, not moving like a mountain, moving like a thunder, two Zhuangzi, there is a little boy sitting in the town, it seems that there is no need to worry about anything, as long as you go forward, no matter it is in trouble, or Don't be afraid if you are wronged, you will be safe when you return home.
Finally, Steward Chen bowed his head, "Steward Zhang, I have offended you a lot in the past two days, and I would like to ask you a lot of adults. Take this as a dream. What do you think?"
"Dream? Dreams are good. Life is a dream. Don't blame it for a dream. When you wake up, no matter the gains or losses, the sky or the sky, the earth or the earth, the person or the person, this water still cannot be changed."
But Steward Zhang wouldn't release the water just because Steward Chen said a word. There will be ships going here in the future. After the diversion, the water level is not enough.
Chen Gengxin brought a group of people over to demolish the dam. He saw that there were almost five times as many people on the Zhang family's side, and someone holding a crossbow in their hands. I had no choice but to stand up and say to Steward Zhang:
"This must be Steward Zhang, good, good method, but He doesn't seem to belong to Wang Ge's family? If we count this way, people who live on both sides of the Yellow River can diverted the Yellow River at will?"
"The road of the Chen family can go to Zhuangzi. Why can't the river of Wangge's family belong to the two families? This is Sanshui County. If the master Chen's family is not satisfied, you can go to the Yamen to file a complaint. There are more than 700 government officials in Sanshui County. Maybe they will act impartially and arrest Wangge's family.
Or Chen’s master’s house wrote up a discount, impeaching my master, bullying the people, and disregarding the common people. Our master is in the capital and was arrested if he fails. Don’t talk about the imperial examination, he went directly to Chang’an’s cell, oh, forgot, Master Chen's house is not an official body, so he cannot pass the paper upwards.
In that case, Master Chen's family went to the capital in person and went to the county magistrate Pei to sue. If you feel that there is no way to find a way, you can find the master book, that is, the county magistrate Cheng of Sanshui County. "
Steward Zhang is naturally not afraid of who will return to the river. Your Chen family has the ability to occupy the road and return to the village, but my Zhang family does not have the ability to occupy the river
Chen Gengxin also thought of this. Even if he spends money on people to impeach, someone who comes to investigate will definitely find out what happened to his family. Thinking of these, he walked a few steps forward and came to the housekeeper's side. , Before everyone could react, a slap was slapped on the face of Steward Chen.
"It's all a good thing you did. When I didn't care about the family affairs, I broke the river and blocked the road in private, and waited to see how I could deal with you."
After beating people, Chen Gengxin turned to Steward Zhang and said, "Steward Zhang, I am not strictly governed. If there is a place that offends Steward Zhang, please ask Steward Zhang Duoduohaihan, this water..."
"Master Chen's house, this water has already been diverted, and it is impossible to change it back. Master Chen's house is a noble person, and he doesn't have time to take care of this and other things.
Steward Zhang is now sad for Steward Chen. Look, the benefits are taken up by others, and when things go wrong, they are used as vents. It is really not easy to be a steward.
Chen Gengxin thought it would be enough to slap, but he didn't expect the Zhang family to be so difficult to speak, he hesitated, and finally said, "I don't know if Mrs. Zhang is here? I have to discuss with the Zhang family about the cloth and silk business. There is also a cloth business in Beijing, right
I’m not alone in buying and selling. There are other bigger cloths. I took this opportunity to introduce Mrs. Zhang to the water. "
Steward Zhang understood it when he heard it, no wonder this Chen Gengxin dared to do something to the Zhang family. It turned out that there were still a few clothers related to him. Saying this would be considered a threat.
Steward Zhang was about to tell the young man about this matter, and suddenly thought that when the young man came, he said that he would let him take care of the affairs with the Chen family. If this is the case, then he can't find the young man. After thinking about it, he said:" Master Chen’s house doesn’t know, the shops in the capital have been in bad business, and they are about to close.
The business at the restaurant is not bad. Can Master Chen's house have the help of those who open the restaurant? Then I will go back to discuss with the host's wife, other things can't be helped. "
Chen Gengxin didn't expect the Zhang family to be so hard-spirited, even if he would rather close a business than release the water, frowning and thinking there, not knowing what to do for a while.
Steward Chen, who was slapped, finally couldn't help but stand up and said: "You Zhang Family should not deceive people too much. Your Patriarch goes to Beijing to rush for the exam. The Chen family is ruined, and he can't pass the exam."
"Who is so powerful? I can take care of the imperial examinations. Lord Ben, look at it. He has a lot of skills. In this case, doesn't your Chen family let whoever win the top prize, who can get the top prize? It’s hard to say that you already know who it is, so let me know about it."
Li Xun didn't know when he swayed over, but he just heard the words of Steward Chen and asked with a calm face.
"Just joking, joking, don't take it seriously, Xiaohouye, the housekeeper Chen has some problems with his brain, and he often says something wrong." Chen Gengxin quickly explained to the housekeeper while glaring at the housekeeper, not knowing to look around when he was speaking. People
Li Xun turned his head and looked at the Chen Family Patriarch, and said, "I think you have a brain problem. Otherwise, how could you use such a housekeeper? How dare you use Zhang Family's idea, someone who can do it? Ah, great, I don't know how much that cloth line can help you?"
"Yes, yes, what Xiaohouye said is that there is something wrong with his head, cloth sales is a business, and there is no way to help or not."
Master Chen didn't dare to say something about the cloth shop. He was not in a high position there. At this time, it was the critical time of the imperial examination. How could the cloth shop be provoked for him.
"In that case, what are you doing here? It's just that the river changed its course. Which river didn't change its aisle? If you make a fuss, go back first, and wait for the master to think of some way with you." Li Xun changed the river's course. Speaking lightly, waving his hand, coaxing these people like a fly.
The head of the Chen family showed a wry smile and didn't dare to stay longer. While saying goodbye to Li Xun, he led the people back.
Waiting for the Chen family to leave, Steward Zhang walked over immediately and asked Li Xun: "Master Xiaohou, why are you here?"
"Can I just come here? The water on my Zhuangzi is also broken. I have to come and see where the water is drawn from. This year, Lijiazhuangzi will also plant all rice, and the seed is what you need." Li Xun of course not. He will come to demolish the dam and plan to come here to see where he can dig a small hole, and he will find someone to get a ditch out.
Steward Zhang knew what Li Xun said, and said, “Master Xiaohou, you don’t need to draw water from here. There is a small river in front of our house that descends from the mountain. There is less water than here. Enough, as long as there is a rain, there will be more water. Looking at this day, it seems that there will be rain in a few days.
Xiao Hou Ye might as well dig a river over there to lead it over. The Zhang Wangs' family still had water available in the ponds and wells. An opening was made here and it was bothersome. "
"That's okay, it just happens to be able to help the Chen family. It's not easy for the Chen family to have more than 3,000 acres of land." Li Xun thought for a while and said.
Steward Zhang stayed for a while, "Master Xiaohou, do you want to help the Chen family?"
"Of course, Lord Ben Hou will not be biased towards either side at this time. Lord Ben Hou has the common people all over the world. He must help. Spring ploughing cannot be short of water. Five bucks a day, no, it’s too much. Two hundred words per mu of land, fifty to five points with your family then.
Well, two hundred quinces, one hundred liters per family, every year in the future, you can’t ask for too much. If one mu yields about three stones, it’s only a few hundred liters. If you take out two hundred liters, there is not much left. , But water can't be given for nothing, isn't it? "
Li Xun counted there, he wanted to collect 200 liters of water for an acre of land, so that count, unless the Chen family also grows rice, the price of rice is higher, and other kinds of rice will be lost, and not much water will be used. , For the grain produced, more than one acre would be less than four bales of money.
Mr. Zhang was dumbfounded. The dealers on the Zhuangzi paid a lot of rent. Even if the owner wanted to ask for more, he wouldn’t have to pay too much. Otherwise, the dealer would have to starve to death. When collecting rent, a farmer would have to pay sixty or seventy penalties per acre.
If you pay more, you have to pay thirty or forty wen. If you don’t want to pay, the farmers don’t have to live, unless the rice they grow is the same as the output of Zhangwang’s two villagers, with an average of more than four stones per acre. It is impossible to make a fortune by farming.
In particular, Li Xun’s last remark, every year, that is to say, the Chen family loses money every year. As long as you still want Zhuangzi, then don’t expect to make money. It’s nothing more than getting some food at home for emergency needs.
"Master Xiaohou, do you want more? If they add this money to the dealer, the dealer will not be able to live." Steward Zhang reminded quietly.
"It’s not going to live well. My family is short of people. Lord Ben Hou has the people of the world in mind. You can find a way for them to survive. It will cost you a hundred wen per mu, or fifty wen. Lord Ben Hou also wants to get in Beijing. A shop selling cloth, right, don’t they have a cloth shop. Lord Benhou has the common people all over the world and helps them sell some. You don’t need to close your shop and buy some cheap cloth to sell."
Li Xun hit Buxing's idea again. He is helping the Zhang family now, wanting to get ahead of this matter.
