The boat went upstream and up the river that would have stopped for a while.
At this time, the small river is no longer what it used to be with only a few boats. From above, there are boats going down the river, some with cargo, and some with people. Seeing the eyes of those people, all of them seem to be very happy.
"Father, this river flows through Huayuan County, but unfortunately it was taken up by the original nephew of Shangshu, otherwise our family will have a large income."
Zhang Xiaobao introduced Xiaohe to his father who was smiling from time to time. Zhang Zhong knew why it was not because he won the champion this time. After some tossing down, he finally got the champion. His family spent countless money on this matter.
"Xiaobao, you are tired. You are in charge of the family affairs, and you have to worry about the outside. Hey... You can even help me with my dad's career. Thanks to my son, what about Zhang family? manage?"
Zhang Zhong looked at his son’s chubby face and said with emotion, he has long stopped thinking about why children are so powerful. Those are not important, but the important thing is his own son, filial and sensible, even if his son suddenly one day Flying in the sky, that is also a son.
Zhang Xiaobao doesn't care whether he is tired or not. He hasn't really done anything yet. It's all small things. As long as he spends some time thinking about it, he can arrange it.
With this waterway, it takes less than two-thirds of the journey from the capital to Zhangjiazhuang, and its value is reflected in this. The boat walks in the front, and there are several boats behind it. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan bought all of the things, and there are a lot of things to eat, drink and play.
The capital city is the capital city, more prosperous than Sanshui County, and there are more varieties of goods. Two people brought them to their families, to the farmers, and to the little children. These things totaled more than 500 times. Nothing too expensive, just more.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan can imagine how happy the people on Zhuangzi will be after they return.
If you go on a detour like before, you have to go for half a month. It’s still fast. Now it’s upstream and it takes about six or seven days to get there. After five days of walking, you have entered the boundary of Huayuan County and the ship is going. Now, many people suddenly appeared on the shore.
The people on the left bank threw a rope tied with a stone to the right bank, and the people on the right bank took the rope. As soon as they tried hard on both sides, the rope was stretched straight, just blocking the front of the boat.
Zhang Xiaobao and a few people are looking forward to returning home one day later. Unexpectedly, someone stopped the ship. Zhang Zhong hasn’t taken office yet, so naturally he can’t use the status of county magistrate to suppress him. I know that some people have forgotten, or something, but they didn't even take it back.
"Who stopped the ship?" The two tigers on the ship who were responsible for protecting Zhang Zhong shouted to both sides.
"Your boat crossed our river. Naturally, it can't be done in vain. You have to pay for it. A boat always pays. Give the money to the boat. If you don't give it, give me the same way back."
A man on the left bank called to Zhang Xiaobao, and people on both sides of the strait also called out several times to strengthen the momentum.
Zhang Xiaobao snapped his lips and said, "It seems that it takes a little effort. Huayuan County is no better than Sanshui County. There are such stubborn people out of Sanshui County. Should they be easy to teach, or use thundering methods?"
"It's estimated that it's a two-pronged approach. Looking at the clothes some people wear, they are not so poor. They have found such a simple way to make money. They are smart enough." Wang Juan said when he heard Zhang Xiaobao's words and looked at people on both sides of the strait.
She didn't say that people get something for nothing. After all, people still throw a rope. A rope is actually nothing. If you want to pass it, it will pass. The point is that there is a rope over there, which is useless. Broken, I'm afraid that these people are not throwing ropes, but throwing stones on the boat, which is troublesome.
The two tigers who shouted would naturally not give money to others. How could a river become someone else’s, and immediately shouted: "On the boat is Master Yun Qi, who is the magistrate of Huayuan County who is about to take office. You will not let go. , We must punish you for waiting for a robbery."
Erhu’s words worked well. The people on the shore didn’t know the truth or not, so they could only report that they would rather believe that he had the idea of being untrustworthy. He blocked his face with his hands, turned and ran towards the distance, the rope was also Don't disappear from the front of the ship alone.
The boat continued to move forward, but Zhang Xiaobao had no idea of being happy. Those people who could think of a way to stop the boat would definitely stop other people's boats. If they don't tidy up, who would be willing to go this way in the future
"I have to talk to Grandpa Bi’s nephew about this. He is in charge of the wharf. If every boat is stopped, the wharf will not be prosperous. When my dad takes office, he will start to clean up people. Knowing what kind of resistance will be encountered, if someone like Zhangjiazhuang comes out here, it is really difficult to handle."
Zhang Xiaobao is going to let the old man's nephew try the water first to see if it is deep, and then think of a solution according to the specific situation.
Wang Juan also thought of this situation. "It depends on the yamen in the yamen. In case you are like the yamen in Sanshui County, your dad doesn’t have to count on doing things. You are cheated all day long, and there are also county officials. The main book and the county prime minister, originally the main book also had the opportunity to be the county magistrate, do you think he can cooperate with your father?"
"Don’t be afraid, as the saying goes, money can make you motivate the ghosts, courteous first, then soldiers, when my dad takes office, give some benefits to the servants, see what they do, respect my dad, and be obedient. Then it would be better for them. If you take things and defy them, let them see the thunderbolt methods."
Zhang Xiaobao has already decided that as soon as his father takes office, he should gather the government officials. Otherwise, if the order cannot work, how to build Huayuan County? How did you get your political achievements? He still has a lot of ideas that he hasn't come up with, and they are reserved exclusively for his father.
Zhang Zhong was also thinking about the same thing. He didn't think of what to do. Hearing the two children there, you said something to me, so he decided on the future things, so that he feels a little old, even if he is only talented. Twenties.
After a short delay, the speed of the boat picked up again. Zhang Xiaobao stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the flowing water in front of him. He said to Zhang Zhong: "Father, the boat is walking at a fast speed. I can’t walk anymore and move a little bit. It’s better to find some work for some people who have no land after you take office."
"Xiaobao, what do you think you are looking for?" Zhang Zhong put his hand on Zhang Xiaobao's shoulder and asked softly, his son is too smart, and in the blink of an eye he can think of a job to increase the income of the people in the county.
"Trackers, let them put some effort into arranging trackers in the fast-flowing area, and just pull it over. You can pull a few cents at a time and come all the way. There are four places in the county. Now there are two places in the county. If you walk around, you can put ten people in one place, and twenty in two places.
If there is one person from one family, it will be benefited by 20 households. Everyone has ten pennies, and it goes without saying how many pennies can be bought for the common people. Now, how much is your salary for a year? "
Zhang Xiaobao said to his father, but Zhang Zhong was a little disappointed, "Xiaobao, there are only twenty households, even if there is another place in front, it is nothing more than thirty households, it is still too few."
"Father, it's a lot. One small solution can solve twenty households. Think of a few more, and accumulate less. It can also allow people who have no labor in the family to set up a stall by the river and sell some things. , The people on the boat want to eat or drink, or think that buying some gadgets to take with their families can help some people."
Zhang Xiaobao knew that his father had no experience in this area. Even if he learned a little from Cheng County Order, he was just talking on paper. He didn't know how effective it would be to solve the life problems of dozens of the worst households first. Enlighten slowly.
When Zhang Zhong heard this idea, he felt good, and nodded: "Little treasure, it's a pity that you are still too young, otherwise the champion should be yours. If you put you on the court, the people in the lobby will be blessed. "
"Father, it’s not easy to do things in court. It’s not what you want to do. You know your idea is good, but after a dispute, you can’t do it. If you don’t agree with you, you can fight with them yourself as a game.
If we can't fight, let's think of a way to become an official in the capital. We can't avoid this kind of struggle. Politics is a kind of art. Is it a cuckoo? "
Zhang Xiaobao now decided to let his father hone more, just like he hone Wang Juan's father. Wang Juan's father is much more stable than before. After suffering several losses, he finally learned something.
Zhang Zhong understands that his son is to give himself face. If he can't fight, try to find a way. That is to say, if he can't fight, his son will do it himself, hey... I don't know who is whose father
The boat continued to move forward. Sure enough, I saw another place with turbulent water flow. This could arrange three places to pull the fiber. Each time it only needs to be pulled out less than a thousand steps. The boat is small, unlike the middle of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. It’s so tired, and the boat that doesn’t want to spend this little money just row out slowly.
Seeing that they were about to get home, the eager to return home continued to paddle even when it was dark, and they didn't mean to stop at all. They were going to get home early.
At the dawn of the day, from a distance, one could see the restaurant between the water and the clouds, and the people on the boat made cheers, returning home with supreme glory this time.
I've seen several boats on Zhang Xiaobao's side a long time ago. The telescopes of four or five times are still very useful. As the boat gets closer, the sound of firecrackers began to sound one after another, and the four villagers of Zhuangzi came here one after another. Gathering, want to meet the champion.
The two masters also all came out and walked to the shore to wait, especially the old lady of the Zhang family, who had already begun to wipe their tears, muttering there, "I have something to say after seeing the ancestor."
