It's the spring day, bustling, bustling, don't be cold winter; pulling feet, coming and going in a hurry, noisy and noisy in the middle of the day.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Sanshui County was busy. The county magistrate Cheng Lingxiang licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue. He just ate the cucumber dipped in chili sauce, and aftertastes the fragrance. He took two yaks and walked slowly in the street. Wandering on.
In order to be close to the people and not to disturb the people, he did not wear official uniforms, he was not too big in his clothes, and stood in front of the trading booths for a few moments, without telling his identity. This way It seems that he is a good official.
Thinking that something unexpected could be resolved in time, he brought two heavily armed corps behind him, followed along, and shouted loudly, one by one, the magistrate.
Cheng Lingxiang walked very slowly, immersed in this kind of spontaneous greetings from people, with a smile on his face, but thinking in his heart, that the idea for the superior is really good, and his reputation has gone out. Try to be in the county as much as possible. Showing his face, let people know which county magistrate delivered grain and oil to poor families in the middle of their thirties regardless of rest.
One thousand shi of grain, that’s quite a lot. One family gave half a stone to eat for one month, and two thousand were sent, but I didn’t leave a grain of grain, and the same was true of the oil when it was sent. , The way that family is grateful, makes me feel comfortable in my heart.
Thanks to Zhangjia Zhuangzi, otherwise, how can you get such a good reputation? Listening to the people below, many people are praising the county magistrate. If this continues, it seems that it is not difficult to rise by one level.
The county magistrate Cheng thought as he walked, and from time to time he greeted those who greeted him. His image of being close to the people skyrocketed. As he walked, he came to one of the most prosperous streets in the county with many shops on both sides and pedestrians on the street. heel.
"Prosperity, this is what the official expects." Cheng county magistrate sighed, and the next two bureaucrats immediately came up to flatter them, and the three of them acted together to complement each other.
As I was walking, there was a loud crackling sound from the place in front, which shocked Madam Cheng and the people on the street. The sound seemed endless as soon as it sounded, and everyone's ears were buzzing. Non-stop.
"Go, follow the officer to the front to see who made such a movement." Cheng County Commander was really courageous. He didn't return to the yamen to find someone, but directly brought two yamen to the other side. Go on foot quickly.
When people reached the place, the voice hadn't stopped. There were already a lot of people who stopped and watched. Some people were still yelling and wanting to compete with the continuous voice.
"Where is this? Tell this official." Cheng County Commander pointed to the three-story building in front of him and asked the two government officials next to him.
"My lord, what are you talking about?" The Ya Ya did not hear clearly.
"Let me ask you where is this place?" The county magistrate Cheng also shouted.
"It should be the restaurant opening. Yesterday I heard someone say that someone here bought a place and wanted to open a restaurant called Qianchang Town Water House." The Ya Yai heard clearly this time, and then replied loudly.
"What's the matter with this movement?"
"I don't know, sir, I saw Young Master Song standing there, I'll find him." The government officer didn't know it, so he shouted and saw Song Jinggong at the door. He hurried over and pulled Song Jinggong. Go to the magistrate's side.
At this time, the sound finally stopped, and the sound was gone, but the sensation it caused was not small. Many people were talking about what the sound was. It was too loud and really shocking.
"Zijin is there, could this restaurant be opened by Zijin?" The county magistrate Cheng's ears were still ringing, and he still used to shout.
"My lord, this restaurant is not run by students, but people from other places. Just listen to the name and you will know that'Qianchang Town Water House' just wants to suppress Baiwei Pavilion and Guanshui Tower." Song Jinggong also pressed. Pressing ears, he was close to there just now, and now his ears are still reverberating.
"Oh, does Zijin know what happened to that noise?" The county magistrate Cheng saw that someone had opened it, and nothing happened. It was not easy to make trouble, so he was interested in the noise.
Song Jinggong nodded, "I know, it's firecrackers. The students gave them a hundred thousand ring for opening."
"What are firecrackers?" County Majesty Cheng felt that there was noisy surroundings now, and took Song Jinggong to a place with few people. Then he asked, the voice was not as loud as before.
"The things Zhangjiazhuang made for some festive things are lively, and they can also help promote one or two." Song Jinggong is also a little more comfortable than before, and her ears are not so loud.
"Oh? It's Zhangjiazhuang again? You gave this one hundred thousand-ring firecrackers from Zijin. How much does it cost?"
The county magistrate Cheng was originally curious. As soon as he heard that it was Zhangjiazhuangzi, there was a person in his heart. With that person, everything was in line with common sense, and he was a little surprised by his mastery. how much is it
"My lord, I don't have much money, it's only two taels of silver. This thing is cheap, and it costs more than two taels of silver to open. It is a good deal. This time the students are given away for nothing, so that others will know that there is such an item, and it will be easy to buy."
Song Jinggong explained that this is exactly the idea of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. They will sell directly. People may not buy them. They will give some first. When the results are effective, others will buy them. The cost is not much money.
After explaining this, Song Jinggong nodded in agreement with the county magistrate Cheng, and continued: "Also, this thing can ward off evil spirits, just like firecrackers burned during the Chinese New Year. This is what Zhangjiazhuang would use this year."
"Oh? There is also this usage? Yes, firecrackers, this thing is louder than firecrackers, warding off evil spirits, really warding off evil spirits, there is auspiciousness in the front, and evil spirits in the back. That person is really powerful. In that case, Zijin also sells some to the yamen. , 200,000 ringing, it happened to be available at Yuanxi time."
Cheng County Ling thought about it, thinking that it would be even more lively in this way, two hundred thousand sounds, five taels of silver is enough to make such a big movement, worthwhile.
"Adults don't have to pay for it. Zhuangzi is now letting many people rush to work, and I will send it to the adults in the future." Song Jinggong doesn't need to go back and ask the young man again. He understands how to do it. The few dollars of yamen are not worthwhile. First, it's good to be able to use this thing to give personal affection.
The county magistrate Cheng thought about it, but didn’t continue to rush to give the money. The Zhuangzi gave a lot of things. Not bad. It costs more than a hundred taels of silver for the thousand stones. The Zhuangzi is really magnificent. .
With firecrackers, County Order Cheng feels better, and he doesn’t go shopping anymore. He said a few words with Song Jinggong and took two officials back home. He wanted to make arrangements for how to spend the fifteenth year. This year there will be more than one. The lantern thing is up.
The county magistrate Cheng returned to the Yamen with a good mood. He thought that there was nothing going on. But as soon as he got inside, Zhang Mingsheng, the county chief inside, hurriedly found him.
"My lord, the prefecture sent an urgent document saying that the prefecture has reported Xiangrui. In order to find out the truth, it will send a contributor to the army in Yuanxi to Sanshui County."
"Oh, I see, it's the tenth day of the first lunar month today. They just let people come. Five days later, the cucumbers are all gone. I think of Xiangrui. Come on, just right. Two days later, Song Jinggong will come to send firecrackers to the yamen. I told him to let him deal with it. The cucumber should have grown a lot, and eat one stubble as soon as it can be eaten, and it will be gone when they come."
The county magistrate Cheng listened to the county prime minister's words, took the papers, looked at it again, and said with a twist. He was really dissatisfied with the people above. At this time, he remembered that he needed to expedite, what he did early, and he didn’t know those who sent it up. Was the cucumber eaten by them or given to others.
"My lord, do you have to kill those cucumber seedlings? Can you transfer some of them? This is just the beginning of spring, and there is still a long time without cucumbers."
The county prime minister Zhang Mingsheng was a little bit reluctant. He had an old mother in his family who was not very healthy. He liked to eat a bite or two of lighter ones. Basically all the cucumbers he bought were given to his mother. Seeing his mother can eat more food, he also With happiness, if the cucumber suddenly disappears, what will the mother eat? If it doesn't work, just let Song Jinggong order carrots. It's not bad to eat them fried.
Didn’t Cheng Xianling think so, but he couldn’t help it. He couldn’t sell Zhangjiazhuangzi. Based on other people’s ability, there might be better things to come out in the future, plus those two masters. At that time, you may also ask for someone else.
At this time, I heard Xian Cheng say that with a move in his heart, it seemed that it was okay. When people came, they would get some fresh cucumbers to show them. When they went to see the cucumber seedlings, they would move a part first, so they should be able to survive. You can eat it yourself.
Thinking of this, he stopped waiting for Song Jinggong to come over and arranged for someone to report to Zhangjiazhuangzi. In order to make people believe, he even took the documents passed down from it and said his own thoughts.
The one who went to Zhangjiazhuangzi was the one who had been to Zhangjiazhuang. He immediately became happy when he heard that he was going to Zhangjiazhuang. After agreeing to come down without any delay, he rode a horse and rushed away.
This horse riding speed is fast. Usually, I need to set up a car to rush for half a day. I arrived at the place in less than two hours. People who don’t know see the horse passing so fast and think it’s a six-hundred-mile emergency report. .
When the yaman came to Zhuangzi, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were studying with their father. They really admired Zhang's father. When they talked about knowledge, they took out a sentence and included allusions, and there were sentences in the allusions. There are allusions.
This is Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. When they were replaced by other children, they were scared to cry by so many things. Father Zhang is very enjoyable now. Teaching students can be so easy. Then the master may have become famous long ago. , These two children only need to teach anything once. After two days, the two children will ask a few questions. When they tell them, they will be able to teach them.
