"Xiaobao, do you think they can be fooled? In case we didn't do what you thought, wouldn't we make the arrangement for nothing?"
On the couch, Wang Juan was a little unsure whether those people would follow Zhang Xiaobao's plan to walk all the way down and finally improve the economy of Huayuan County.
Zhang Xiaobao is not worried, "It doesn’t matter if they follow the path we have arranged, the big deal is to continue the layout, as long as they still want to occupy this place, as long as the owner and the county prime minister want to make more money. , There is always a game for them.
Today, my dad is really good. He gave them a scam. I guess they put a lot of usury out. Now that we can borrow money, there are basically only two kinds of people. One is a gambler, and the other is a gambler. People who have difficulties in their homes or who need money to treat illnesses. "
"Well, almost. The gamblers are cheap this time. Those who are in trouble at home must be grateful to your father. They are not fools, so naturally they can understand the truth." Wang Juan didn't expect Zhang's father to be even today. Made such a big thing.
Speaking of gambling, Wang Juan had a new idea, and he touched Zhang Xiaobao. "Do you want to let them gamble like this? Let's help them gamble, such as lottery. If this is the case, will they be more stable, and then a lot? We have earned all of the money, so we can set up a name, and if there is a disaster, we will take a part of it and give it away.
Not in our personal name, in the name of your father’s magistrate, representing the court and the emperor. In this process, we will invest that money and make more money, okay? "
"Okay, why not, but we can't make this money. We should write to the court directly and let the emperor do it directly. We will be like paying taxes and renting up here. We will pay a large portion and keep a small amount. Part, or hand in all, let the top call back some money.
In fact, this is just to collect money. Gambling cannot be prohibited at all. Those who are good gamblers will buy lottery tickets while continuing to gamble. You can't be punished, and the penalty is useless. After the penalty is imposed, they will want to bet back the fined money. "
Zhang Xiaobao agrees with Wang Juan’s idea, not from the perspective of prohibition of gambling, but from the perspective of making money. For the prohibition of gambling, you can only grab a few whips and go down the street. Is there such a human right here? Watching, frighten those gamblers.
Wang Juan also knew that this matter could never be forbidden. The gambling was ruined, and the gambling wives were scattered, but it never stopped.
"Is it really useful to catch and play? What if someone goes to a hidden place to gamble?"
"Try it and you will know. Increase your efforts. Unless it is a particularly serious gambling addiction, otherwise, no one will gamble even if they will be caught at any time. People can report it and give it to you when the time comes. As long as the number of government officials is large enough, they can be suppressed. I will tell my father tomorrow that there is still Sanshui County.
This person, the poor also gamble, the rich also gamble, especially when there is no work, they will naturally gamble when they are bored, go to sleep, maybe ginseng will be delivered tomorrow. "
Zhang Xiaobao was sleepy as he talked, turned around, and fell asleep for a while, Wang Juan glanced at the candle that had not been extinguished, and muttered "Try it, as long as most of the previous bets don't gamble. "It's fine" and fell asleep.
It’s time to go to bed. Some people are destined to be unable to sleep tonight. The merchant at the pier is talking about which piece of land they want, just like the owner of the county. Some people have already bought ginseng. The century-old ginseng is not good. Find it, but if you want to buy it, you still have a chance to buy it.
The county prince and the master book are preparing to discuss with the merchants how to deal with the county magistrate this evening. Now it is only dealing with the local affairs. Later, we will find a way to deal with Zhang Zhong himself.
The people in Yushu Village couldn’t sleep at night. They had a good meal today. They made dumplings without a little time. They just made wontons, and the little children didn’t eat less. They felt uncomfortable one by one. They didn’t sleep at night and went out to play. Adults think about the days to come, and talk to their neighbors, and they don’t want to sleep.
Even the people from Zhangjiazhuang who came to give things to Zhangjiazhuang were dragged to talk. They asked Zhangjiazhuang how to live the life there, and talked about what it could be like here in the future. The people from Zhangjiazhuang told the truth. , And told the people in the village that in the future, the villagers will be smiled like Zhangjiazhuangzi.
And the people who couldn’t sleep were the “prisoners” who were put back. The money given by the county magistrate ran home like crazy, some ran back, and the family members were all around, crying and crying. , And then take out the money, the family will be happy again, starting to talk in the afternoon, and continue to talk until the evening.
But others ran to their homes and found that there was no one in their own family. They asked their neighbors. The neighbors said they didn't know, then such people could only cry by themselves.
There is another family that hasn’t slept well for a few days, that is, the Chen family Zhuangzi next to the original Yuan family. After learning that the Zhang family’s master had ran to the county as the magistrate, he was afraid of being retaliated and frightened to the night. Light up all the torches and lanterns when you fall asleep, and wake up from nightmares when you fall asleep.
The owner of the family has long stopped letting the brother of the original concubine be the housekeeper, and arranged a chore. The concubine doesn’t pass too much. The original housekeeper Zhang is kept just in case one day the Zhang family comes to look for things. Hand this person out to guard against the disaster.
When different people experienced different experiences, the night finally passed. After dawn, the night’s hardships and fears also dissipated a lot, and the days are still alive, even if it’s only a "prisoner" left, they As long as there is hope to find family members, we will find it.
When the first ray of sunlight pierced the morning glow that day, people also got up and started doing things. People after spring ploughing also have to go to the field to see. As long as a little weed head grows out, they must hoe. Lose.
Business people also set up stalls or opened the doors of the shop. Some restaurants in the county did not open in the morning, and only opened when it was almost noon. At that time, there were many people.
The only exception is Jin Lai Lou. The door was opened early in the morning, and all kinds of porridge were prepared. Even if there were very few people who could come to eat, they insisted on it. According to the words of looking for Xiaobao, let them develop a kind of porridge. It’s customary that this kind of shop will not only have these places, but will also open to other prefecture roads.
There are the same signs, as long as those who are on the road or those who have special things find that they can’t eat it elsewhere in the morning, and if they can eat it in such a hotel, they will be served after the hotel is opened everywhere in the future. This kind of thoughtfulness continues.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were eating in the yard. Zhang Xiaobao had to continue to pretend to be sick, and he could not show up until the merchants bought the land.
Zhang Zhong went to the restaurant to eat. There have been many yamen and other yamen doing things here. Now their breakfast is eaten here, which is considered a benefit. After all, there is no money in the yamen, and breakfast is here. Jin Lailou is not cheap to buy, but the cost is very low, and Zhang Zhong is not bad for this amount of money.
Not only the people who got the things, but also some of the servants who worked in the yamen, they forgot at the beginning, and then they were made up. They can also go to the restaurant for breakfast.
All this is arranged. Zhang Zhong can talk to people in the yamen during the meal, ask questions, and get closer to each other. This is better than just giving things, especially if some people still know something. The gossip news or something.
"My lord, you are here, you sit here." When a government official was eating and talking with his colleagues there, he saw Zhang Zhong come in and quickly got up and pulled out the chair of an empty table next to him.
Zhang Zhong did not sit there. Instead, he pulled out a chair next to the Ya Ya and sat on it, looked at the food the Ya Ya ate, and said to the guy: "A big bowl of tofu brains, add two more Xiaocai, what stuffing does the buns have today?"
"Master, the buns have lamb stuffing, pork and green onion stuffing, and leek, egg and shrimp stuffing. Do you have beef stuffing. Lord, what do you eat?" The man asked, speaking in a different way than others. Same, not so loudly yelling, and there is no need to count words.
Zhang Zhong didn't like to eat that leeks, nor did he like to eat anything else, so he thought about "Change it, don't want tofu brains, come with a big bowl of soy milk, and another catty of fruit."
"Master, wait a moment and bring it to you right away." The man turned and ran.
Zhang Zhong said to the three government officials who had already sat down next to this table: "I will come here for breakfast in the future. I will ask for a few more side dishes. It is not worth the money. Doesn't my master even be able to ask for this?"
Listening to the county magistrate calling himself the master, the three bureaucrats laughed, and one of them said: "My lord, that is, you are so good to the young ones. If the young ones meet other county bureaucrats, tell them, They must not believe it, oh, except for those in Sanshui County, who will let your lord your Zhuangzi be over there."
"What is good or not, I will count on you to die in the future, what is it to eat something? Come, eat, you eat first, and my share will come right away. No matter how many waiting, you have to prepare it for me first. Right, eat."
Zhang Zhong seemed very kind at this time, just like when he was chatting with the banker before, he didn't have to be stern when he was not on business.
The yamen hesitated for a while, and they ate it. At this time, the guy took the soy milk and fried dough sticks, and specially prepared a piece of stinky tofu for Zhang Zhong. This is also not for people to prepare, otherwise some people don’t want to smell it. The taste, Zhang Zhong likes to eat, so don't care about others.
