The sun shines through the clouds, and the mountains are enchanting in the distance. Cooking smoke accompanied by chicken crowing.
When they got up early in the morning, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took the family with ten guards from the palace as well as the former officials who were retrieved from the palace and were driven away because of disobedience.
These government officials are obviously better than the ones who stayed, and they are serious about doing things. That's why they were driven away.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan adopt talents in terms of employment. Those who are of poor quality can help him improve, and those who are too rigid are used where they need to be rigid.
Riding horses, a group of people ran up to Yaowang Mountain, which was officially named after the mountain.
Some local people who don’t have to harvest wheat and those who arrived from other places are continuing to build roads on the mountain. The old people who can’t do heavy work are also busy making baskets. These things that are picked on the spot were originally made up by the old people voluntarily. Yes, after all, I ate together.
Zhang Zhong still spent money to buy it. He made up quickly in one day. It was only two or three baskets, each for a penny. There were people who counted them. They just looked at the baskets and counted them. They didn’t even look at whether they were strong or not. , The old people are not made up for money, they are their relatives who work, and if something goes wrong due to a bad basket, it is their relatives who are unlucky.
I ate well here. There was an old man who was overwhelmed and always falsely reported the number. He made up three and insisted that it was two. One of them had already been counted, and the counting person stared like a thief. It is absolutely impossible to underreport. , So there are often people on both sides arguing about whether a basket has been counted, very strange things.
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came, they were just in time. The one who makes baskets the fastest can make four baskets a day. After making a few more times a day, these days, they actually sent seven baskets up today. Count four.
The person who counts is not a fool. He has to count seven. The old man is reluctant. He said that he used to have four a day. How could he make up seven, and they quarreled with each other.
After Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan learned about the situation, they were dumbfounded.
"Xiaobao, how do you look at the country of gentlemen that is a bit like a mirror flower edge?" Wang Juan smiled at the two people in the dispute and said to Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan blankly, "What is the Mirror Flower?"
"It's just a novel. It says that it's a person. After going to a few plays and seeing different things, the gentleman will eat one of them. The people there buy and sell, and the seller will give the best goods and the least. With money, the buyer takes the worst goods and gives the highest price.
Originally I only thought that this was a novel, full of loopholes, and inconsistent with reality. I only saw such a thing today. The people wanted to let go but the officials refused. If the people and officials of Datang could do the same with each other, let them unite. , Practice martial arts diligently, then the whole world will become Datang. "
Wang Juan looked at the two people pulling each other like a fight, only for three more baskets and three baskets less, he said yearningly.
Zhang Xiaobao also smiled, "In that case, society will never progress, and competition can develop. It is only human nature. Those who can do this show that they know what eight ends are."
"Also, filial piety, loyalty, faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness, integrity, and shame are things that the people can do, but officials who know the book may not be able to do it. There should be a difference between internally and externally. Look at today's noon. Dishes."
Wang Juan sighed, pulling Zhang Xiaobao and walking towards the cooking place. The dispute between the two people didn't want to worry about it, it was just a kind of entertainment, otherwise the life would seem too dull.
Before the two people approached, a strong smell of cucumber spread to the nose, and then the smell of cucumber was still the smell of cucumber. When I walked closer, there were leeks and bamboo shoots, plus a small amount of eggs.
Looking at the staple food again, it is some millet. It can be seen from the color that it is Chen rice. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's brows immediately wrinkled. A few green vegetables looked good, but at this time the cucumber has already come down, when it was least valuable. .
It’s okay to usually eat these. Now when I’m doing heavy work, I only eat green vegetables and add some eggs. It’s not enough to make up for the body’s consumption. The daily meal is arranged. There is meat and vegetables, where is the meat.
Zhang Xiaobao's face sank, and he winked at the Er Niu who was following him. Er Niu understood and immediately shouted: "Where is the person in charge? Come here."
"Here, here, are you looking for me?" The steward was chatting with the man who made the basket, and when he heard the greeting, he ran over and asked.
"I'm looking for you, where's the meat?" Er Niu Yi pointed to the cooking place.
The steward knew the identity of the Erniu, thinking something major had happened, but when he saw this, he replied with a sigh of relief: "The meat was fried when it was delivered in the morning, and it was put in a pot next to it, waiting for the evening and midnight. Eat, now I have four meals a day, plus a midnight snack in the morning, lunch and evening."
Er Niu went over and opened the pot to see that there was indeed fried meat in it. He didn't know what to say now, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with eating.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan don't think so. What does it mean to have a meal in the middle of the night? Zhang Xiaobao pretended to be curious and asked, "Is it right that I can't sleep at night and wake up for a meal?"
"Yeah, what else to eat at night?" Er Niu also discovered the problem.
He sighed. "It’s hot now. They have had dinner and rested for a while. They will work until they are ugly. Then they eat another meal and go to bed. They wake up before the hour and continue to work, saying that they can’t take that much for nothing. Wages."
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan understood this time that they had to work hard, so they ate four meals a day, but this meal didn’t look very good. This time Wang Juan said, “Is this meal delicious? I’ll try it later. ."
"Yes, why is this rice Chenmi?" That is, Erniu is as clever as he is in contact with Zhang Xiaobao. He knows what it means, and he can ask something if he can't think of a simple sentence.
The steward knew that the magistrate’s work was good for the people, so he had to continue to explain: "This rice is from Zhan’s master book, oh, it was sent by Zhan’s copywriter. When it was sent, it was good rice. People here use good rice and exchange it. With the old rice, it’s almost the same. You can be full after eating it. You can eat more full by changing three buckets."
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sighed at the same time, they really don't know how to describe the thoughts in their hearts, so simple, work more, take less advantage, you treat him better, he always remembered.
"What to do?" Wang Juan moved his lips.
"Look at it." Zhang Xiaobao can't let people add food at this time. People who want to come to work will not agree, and can only make up for it from elsewhere. If you eat four meals a day, two meals will have meat, and this meal will have eggs at noon. It's okay, it's nothing more than a shorter rest period, and after the last meal, it's just seven hours of sleep.
Doing physical work and rest for such a short period of time is an act of overdrawing vitality in advance.
"It's okay, you can do your thing." Seeing that the little son and the little lady stopped asking, Er Niu walked forward holding hands, said something to the person in charge, and asked the guard to follow.
After thinking about the matter, he followed behind. He knew what the identities of the two little ancestors were, and if he was curious to ask something, he would have to run over.
Zhang Xiaobao and Zhang Xiaobao walked all the way and came to the place of work. They did not need to be urged by others. Even newcomers worked hard without any intention of being lazy.
In the hot weather, many people took off their shirts, shook their arms and shoveled their picks. There was a river passing by, which was similar to the flow of the pier, and even slightly larger. There was a small river that opened up. To this, the bottom is clear.
"It seems that the formation of a lake in the future will be the cause of this river. Originally, it was recessed a little bit. As long as there is a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, the river changes its course and it becomes a lake."
Zhang Xiaobao observed the surrounding terrain and whispered to Wang Juan. Wang Juan also agreed with this statement. He walked to the small river, squatted down, and touched it with his hands. It was cool and soft.
"It's better that the mountain road is repaired. After the observation and construction are completed, let them make a lake here. Our family also has to make some benefits, and we can't give up all the benefits."
"I planned to do the same, and shaking the boat back and forth on the lake and setting up some herbal medicine stalls by the lake is also a long-term income for the local people to do."
Zhang Xiaobao also thinks this should be the case. In the future, there will be some fish raised in the lake, and if it is nothing to go fishing, tourists will like it better. When making fish, let people be equipped with some herbs and make medicinal meals, which can better promote Yaowangshan.
The time when two people were talking, a worker accidentally stepped in the air and fell from a steep place. When everyone was frightened, he hung in the air again.
The person in charge behind patted his chest, and did not wait for the little ancestor to ask curious questions, and took the initiative to come up and said: "This person who works in dangerous places will be tied to his body with a rope. Even if he accidentally falls, he is not afraid."
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan knew about this. They were still suggesting that life is more important than heaven.
The man was pulled up, walked down, and squatted directly to the side of the river. He washed the dirt on his body and the wound that was just marked. Finally, he wiped his face with water, smiled and looked at the people around him, and said : "It's okay, it's much more comfortable after a wash."
After speaking, he stood up again and went back to work. The others laughed and joked. Someone with sweaty head also came to wash, put the water in his hand pocket and splashed it directly on his body. With a little rubbing, the mud balls were frustrated and bounced into the water.
With those who took the lead, other people also came to wash it. The water that was originally clear became muddy after they washed it. In addition to the mud and sand during the washing, their bodies were a little too dirty. .
Naturally, this kind of behavior is not considered lazy, cool down, work more quickly.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at him and suddenly said to Wang Juan, "I know what to do. Even if I sleep less a day, I can relieve fatigue."
