Wang Juan didn't expect Zhang Xiaobao to be so sure, and even deployed another step, "There has been no movement for half a month, are you so sure?"
"Half a month is nothing. For one purpose, I have tolerated more things for a few years. The county has started to build roads. There is no asphalt or cement. I can't afford a road full of bluestone. I can only use some gravel. Shop, you have to repair it after one or two years."
Zhang Xiaobao was unwilling to bother with tactics, and turned the topic to people’s livelihood. He likes to do things about people’s livelihood. He wants to cheat money too. Unfortunately, God didn’t give him too much time. He just made the beginning. This I won't be afraid for the rest of my life. There is power in the family.
Wang Juan also didn’t want to ask why Zhang Xiaobao was so determined, "Well, let’s just leave it alone and just talk about building roads. In fact, it’s okay. A wooden-wheeled car needs to be repaired when it walks. How much can it be overloaded? Not to mention this kind of road. It doesn't take much trouble to repair.
You have not seen when it rains, even if the road is not good, the people living on both sides will come out to repair it. The more people there are on the road, the fewer potholes there will be, and no one needs to order. They did it by themselves. "
"Yes, I repaired it myself. This kind of thing looks normal now. After that, I will get some sand and stone and put it on both sides of the road. The rain is too heavy and washed away, otherwise it can be used to pave roads."
Zhang Xiaobao just focused on doing two things, thinking about building roads while thinking about coal, and thinking about it he used to thinking.
He remembered some pictures from a hundred years ago. There were always some sand and gravel piled up on the roadside in the village. At that time, people would not take it to their homes. When there was rain, when the road was not good, except for specially arranged people, some old men in the village. When I was idle, I would also carry a shovel to help spread the shop, making it impossible for people to understand their motives.
Since it could be done at that time, it may be better in this era.
Wang Juan didn't think so much, and greeted him: "Leave Xiaobao, the two of us will go and have a look. You will catch some toads in Tianzhong by the way and braise them in oil at night."
"The toad is a beneficial insect."
"Don't lie to the children. Basically, the higher the voice, the more people will eat. Go away." Wang Juan is not a member of the Animal Protection Association. He just eats some toads. The pond at home also specializes in raising them.
Two people climbed out of the swimming pool. Zhang Xiaobao specially found a two-strand fork, which was used to fork toads. The two of them had just left the house and came to a small ditch beside a field. They hadn’t waited for Zhang Xiaobao’s performance. The horse ran over at this moment.
"Little son, this time the cloth shop at the head of the Chen family has begun to purchase a large amount of wheat, saying that it will be shipped to the Sichuan and Shu areas and sold to the garrison over there."
The visitor immediately spoke to Zhang Xiaobao, and Zhang Xiaobao smiled slightly, "I see, don't worry about it, just assume it's okay."
"Yes." The man on the horse responded, with the rein in his hand, turned the horse and ran.
Zhang Xiaobao thought there for a while, and tightened the fork in his hand. "Regardless of this, let's enjoy life and continue to fork the toad."
"Someone is going to be unlucky again." Wang Juan felt sorry for those who came over to find trouble.
…
From time to time on the connecting river, one or a few small boats can be seen to carry people to and from the cargo area. Zhang Zhong has created three places to stretch fibers here and it has indeed solved the problems in life for dozens of people. In order to save time every day, people ask them to help pull.
No one thought that they not only pulled it by themselves, but also borrowed money to buy a few donkeys and used donkeys to pull it. This is fast, the people who pull the fiber easily, and the owner of the ship is also happy. Zhang Xiaobao is learning about this. When things happen, let people focus on the person who has the idea.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are too short of manpower. There are only a few that are good enough, but the stalls for the two people are so big that they don't even have a maneuverable person. Er Niu was also sent out to take care of the coal mine.
The little children in Zhuangzi Academy have worked hard to learn, but they are too young to use it. The academy has just been completed, and the teachers have not yet come to teach.
Faced with this situation, the main pulling force by the river knows that using his brain, the courageous Sun Changyuan has been put on the list of attention.
At this time, Sun Changyuan was directing a few people to pull the boat together. The boat was not big, but it was a bit sinking, and he didn’t know what’s on it, which made the slender people worry that it would run aground. Six people drove there on their shoulders. A white linen cloth with a layer of leather on the innermost layer can make the shoulders more comfortable.
There are four more donkeys in there, and they work hard together. The donkey is strong and has good endurance, but sometimes it is not very obedient, otherwise no one will use the mule.
"Brother Changyuan, what do you say is on this boat? It's dead and heavy, won't it be a rock?" A slender man let go with the strength of a donkey and asked Sun Changyuan next to him.
"Don’t think about it, we didn’t offend people. Who would put some stones to make us tired? People who come and go are asking for money, not for gas. If it is a stone, it is also a precious stone, and ordinary stones are brought here. It’s useless. If you don’t get it right, you might be carrying coins."
Sun Changyuan moved his feet, and a donkey was pulling in front. He saved a lot of effort and was able to change the fiber rope on his left shoulder to his right shoulder. This change made him more comfortable. He glanced back and saw the bow of the ship. Several people stood on the board, turned their heads quickly, and continued to work hard.
The people standing on the bow of the boat were also watching around. They thought it was a bit interesting. There were people who pulled fibers, especially some things in this Huayuan County, and the people on the bow also knew about it.
In just twenty days, there were no merchants willing to come here before. There were a large number of merchants. Some of them had brought grain, and some had brought cloth. Salt and meat were also shipped. It feels like this is not the case. That middle county, which was made poor by the magistrate of Wen County, was a Shang county.
"Brother Qianyuan, have you seen it? Zhang Zhong, the magistrate of Huayuan County, is a capable person. Since he took office, he has first accepted office servants, followed by those knife and pen copywriters. Xiao Chi was sent to the capital when he took action. Let me copy it. The last time I came was half a year ago, right
At that time, the people of Huayuan County looked sluggish. What about now? I am so happy when I work. This is what I can do. Let him be the owner of a village. In more than two years, he can push a middle county into an upper county, let him be the magistrate, and the whole county can happen in about a month. Earth-shaking changes.
You need politics, business and business, agriculture and agriculture, and work and work. Even the official ranks are the top scholars in Jinke. Such a person will feel at ease no matter where you put him. The only thing is that What you know is how the military formation is. If this is also possible, wouldn't it be an all-rounder? "
A person wearing a light yellow dress with blue stripes on the bow said to the person next to him.
The man next to him was also wearing light yellow clothes, but the matching color was light green. At this time, he was looking with his back and heard the words of the person next to him, and said, "Brother Weitong is scared? Others say he is Zhangjiazhuangzi How powerful, I said that the small bridge is a bridge, but I don't believe it. No matter how powerful he is, he is still alone. You and I are working together. It is not easy to clean him up
We are not the people of the food industry, nor the people who bump into without the ability. If we are not in one place, we can forget it, but how much business did the creek on his side rob us? If we retreat from this matter, do we still want to raise our heads in front of others in the future? "
"Brother Qianyuan, it doesn't matter whether this head is raised or not. The main reason is that the cloth line is forced to intervene at this time. After they have received it, how can we collect it? They raise the price and accept it, saying that it is to accept some easy luck. Some, in this way, can we still receive wheat? Could we wait for spring wheat and rice and other crops to come down before harvesting?"
The person who spoke before didn’t put his mind on face. Businessmen like them don’t think face is so important. Compared with people who plant the land, their status is inferior, even if they are clearly richer than the people who plant the land. What he cares about is money.
Everyone knows that grain is needed at the border, and the grain production around the capital is poor, and it needs to be transported from the south. When harvesting every year, in the past, you can take advantage of the opportunity to lower prices, raise prices, and make a fortune. The more capital you invest, the more you make. The more.
The person called Qianyuan is also thinking about this. The difference between this year and previous years is that basically every family in Sanshui County grows rice. If a lot of rice comes down, then naturally others will not look for them again.
He felt uncomfortable when he thought of the things he was about to face. In any case, he had to take the wheat and ship it out for sale this time.
He was thinking about the matter here, and the person next to him said: "Brother Qian Yuan, we have to think about it a lot. We can't be anxious for a while. It's better to ask the person from the Chen family. This time, he was pushed here. Earlier, I heard that he was at odds with the Zhang family, so I might as well take this opportunity to get in touch."
"Well, it's okay, even if the roots of the Zhang family cannot be touched, we always have to let him know who is easy to provoke and who can't be offended. We will get to the pier in a while, right? Look at them. If it can be used, it won’t be in vain."
Or there is no other way to be tortured by the matter, thinking there, he feels that there is nothing in this world that cannot be united, but he has not found the door.
After he finished saying this sentence, the two of them were silent again. They just stood on the bow of the boat, letting the wind blow from time to time, or bring up a corner of it, or blow the hair messy, in short, it reflects A kind of free and easy.
Waiting for the boat to be able to paddle without being pulled any more, a situation that they could not imagine suddenly appeared in front of the two people. They could not guess why the merchants had built so many gardens.
