When Zhang Zhong rode his horse to the foot of the mountain in the east, many people had gathered here, not only the people of Huayuan County, but even the people who came to visit relatives or people from other places who were looking for work. Up.
Some are holding a spade, some are carrying a pickaxe, and some are carrying a basket. They all know that a better road to the mountain will be built here to prevent people from being squeezed down for a long time.
Zhang Zhong had already sent people back to Zhuangzi to send things here last night, including all kinds of tools, ropes, etc. The money was put on by him first, and then he would take the money out of the yamen. If you sell the things at home, the grocery store can't always sell the goods.
When he got here, he was already applying for time. It was because he was riding a horse. Otherwise, he would have to delay for a while. The delivery person would have to wait half an hour or an hour to arrive. In order to wait for them, Zhang Zhong Let the yamen who followed to be responsible for selecting people.
You can come from the county first, and if you don’t have enough, you can use outsiders. Young and strong people are responsible for the road construction. The bones are a little bit weak and they just hit the side. A woman will come over and take care of the cooking. Boil water.
The bureaucrats came to the front of the crowd. They didn’t bring a roster and couldn’t know everyone. They had to let the people see each other for themselves, not the people in the county, wait. After all, this project is for the benefit of the people in Huayuan County. .
"My lord, if you do it like this, will it hurt the people and money?" He Cangji also followed, also on horseback. He felt that what he said in the morning was not prepared yet. Let's start here. Do it, it will be wasted effort.
Zhang Zhong understands what he thinks, and someone has been arranged over there to give orders. The only thing left is to find some older people here and ask them what legends, stories, etc., so that they can be called The tour guide memorized it to others.
If it wasn't for the purpose of clearing his own grocery store, he wouldn't be ready to take things out of home. Hearing He Cangji's question, he said, "He Cangji, I don't want to work so early. The dew in the morning and evening is still a bit cold."
"Then why do adults still do this?" He Cangji naturally couldn't think of what it meant to stimulate domestic demand.
"There are already a lot of people running out of food in their homes. If it weren’t for wild vegetables, they would have no food to eat. I’ll do the calculations for you. I plan to recruit 2,000 people for life on the mountain. At night, I also carried lanterns to do things, rotating back and forth, requiring eight or nine hundred people.
These people have wages. They have to buy candles for lanterns and other things in the county, and they also buy food in the county. The county is not enough to adjust some of it from other places. My family can adjust part of it, and some merchants will also come and sell it.
Merchants have to pay taxes when they sell things, and they have to be transported with their goods. The tax money is paid by the government, and the people who move them also get their wages. The people in the county raise some chickens, ducks and pigs, and they usually keep them. eat by yourself.
I have asked Zhuangzi to send chickens and Piggy here, so that the people can raise more. The people are afraid that they will not be able to sell them. They are waiting for the mountain to get up to work. There will be at least one meal every day. The people have seen this. Circumstances will find that there is not enough food for workers in the county.
When people outside come to sell, they will also send some poultry and livestock at home to sell money. When the sale is over, I will issue a notice again. One month later, the road will be built in the county. This road will not be able to be repaired in a short while After all, the entire county, as long as there are people, repair roads. "
Zhang Zhong stopped here, looked at He Cangji, and waited for He Cangji to speak. If He Cangji can keep up with this idea, he plans to reuse it in the future.
He Cangji didn’t know that the county magistrates around him wanted to reuse his thoughts. He would not specifically think about it, but he did think hard. He hadn’t really considered this kind of thing before. At this time, Zhang Zhong mentioned it. , He felt as if he saw something new, something very magical.
After a quarter of an hour, He Cangji woke up from that kind of thinking, looked at Zhang Zhong with admiration and said: "My lord, I know, as long as the notice says that more poultry will be used when building roads. Or livestock, let the people raise them, the people will believe it, after all, there are examples on the mountain side.
There will be more people to raise, and it will not be specially reserved for their own homes. The chickens you catch can grow up in just a few months. If you don’t wait to lay the eggs, you can kill and eat them in more than four months. Meat.
There is also that pig. Let’s just grab a half-sized pig and raise it. It will take less than ten months to grow up in six or seven months. When you sell it, the people will have spare money in their hands, and they will want to buy things. , This year’s rent has been collected in advance, and there will be more food by then, so don’t worry about eating.
They have to buy other things, or save them for the children of the family to take daughters-in-law and build houses. As long as some people are willing to spend money, the things here will not be enough. The merchants will transport them here, and the docks will even more. Prosperity means more taxes.
I just thought about it. As long as I did this for two consecutive years, the yamen would not be short of money, and the people’s life would be better. My lord, you are the real parent and official. For the people, you first took out the money to pay for it. I don't know when I can make it back.
My lord, if you get promoted in the future, let me He Lingwan follow you too. I won't do this little official, just follow you and help copy the documents. "
He Cangji said and made up his mind. He will follow the adults to see what else the adults can do. It is really amazing. When it is so difficult, you only need to put out the first sum of money and invest in it. Drive the entire county.
If every county magistrate of Huayuan County could not be greedy and follow the path of Master Zhang, what would Huayuan County be like in the next ten years
Zhang Zhong didn’t expect He Cangji to think so much. Although it’s not quite right, it’s not bad, especially since he surrendered first before he opened his mouth and wanted to reuse him. This saved a lot of things in the future. There must always be someone around to help do something, just use it.
"My lord, do you think I'm worse? Can't follow you?" He Cangji waited with hope, and asked anxiously when the magistrate did not speak.
Zhang Zhong smiled at him and said: "Follow, get this Huayuan County ready first, and you will follow if I can go elsewhere. If you are still an official, I will be promoted, and you will also be promoted. , If I change the department, I will also take you with me."
He Cangji was happy at first, but then he was puzzled when he heard it later. It seems that the county magistrate doesn’t decide whether his officer can be promoted or which department he is. also
Zhang Zhong also knows this, but he is not afraid. He has a good son. He said that he is the first in the state and township tribute, and the champion is the champion. It is most surprising that he can be released when he is a county magistrate. Yes, it can be decided where to put it out, as if the court is a restaurant run by a son.
Seeing He Cangji’s puzzling gaze, Zhang Zhong smiled openly, "Hahaha, He Cangji, you don’t have to worry about this kind of thing. You will know it later. As you just said, you are indeed a little worse. , You have to learn more, just ask if you don’t understand. This is a university question for people’s livelihood, and it’s much harder than a top pick."
"What the adults said is, it's difficult, but I think it's not easy to get the champion, and there is only one in the world. The adults are not old, and they can pass the exam. Adults, what do we do next?" He Cangji was not angry at all when he heard the magistrate said that he was bad. He was indeed bad.
Zhang Zhong pointed to the road when he came, "The next step is to send things. The people cannot do without the guys who take advantage of them. I have transferred some from the Zhuangzi side to make a little money by the way."
He Cangji looked back, and sure enough, there was a team over there, and the tools he wanted to install on it were tools. He didn’t care about where they were pulled from, and he didn’t care about who made money. He wanted to see what would become in the future. It looks like, as long as it can catch up with Sanshui County, many rich people over there are going to build houses and live comfortably.
"Master, you sent a letter back to the Zhuangzi last night. The home is ready and the things are shipped. There is also a letter from the lady. The lady asked the young man to tell the master, hurry up and build the house here. , The family moved here, so the lady can help the master take care of trivial matters."
A follower who followed handed Zhang Zhong a letter and said to Zhang Zhong at the same time.
"It's coming, it's coming, working non-stop in twelve hours, and in ten days, the house will be repaired. You can lead people over there to divide things. Don't rush back at night. It's here. Jin Lailou has a rest, and there is still something to do for you tomorrow."
Zhang Zhong gave another order, waved his hand to let people pass.
He Cangji watched, listened, and saw that the subordinates in the county magistrate's house, dressed and well-dressed, coped with the rules, and admired Zhang Zhong more and more.
The people have already chosen what they should do, and they have allocated a bit of what to do. Naturally, they will get more wages when they do heavy work. At this time, they see that the magistrate has also prepared them for the guys to do the work. Stand in line. Come and get it.
There are not many people here today, and tomorrow, maybe we will be able to rush over some more from a long distance, and there will not be many people from outside, even if they join, we can’t stop them from working when there are not enough people.
As long as the people don’t push them to a certain level, they will be very obedient. After more than an hour, the sky will gradually darken.
Seeing those people working there, Zhang Zhong found that there was something missing and no one was allowed to prepare food. He quickly greeted people to let him go back to get the ingredients and cook here. The firewood was picked up on the mountain and used. The rake can make a lot of firewood for burning.
