"Brother Fan, Brother Jiang, what do you mean by this loyalty?" Cao Herui asked the other two when the three of Cao and Rui continued to walk towards the government office.
How do Fan Jianxi and Jiang Huanshi understand? Just now the three people heard what the Liu family subordinates said, and they couldn't figure out how Zhang Zhong planned.
The people in the three families were all arranged elsewhere, but instead of being locked up, they were given some more expensive jobs to do.
Even their wives also have a better job. In fact, in the evening, talk to the women among the local people who are free, so that they can know more about the outside world and understand more. What's the life of a slightly richer family
Even the members of the Liu family wanted to do the same, and the three of them couldn't figure it out. What was the purpose of doing this? Do you still expect those ordinary people to live like rich people
"Do you think Zhang Zhong is trying to make our family tired? Tell others about those things every day. If you don't sleep enough, you might get sick after tired days."
Jiang Huanshi had no choice but to guess like this before he figured out the matter. He didn't think Zhang Zhong would be so kind. The more he thought about it, the firmer his judgment, and began to drag his tired body to run, and the other two followed in anxious manner.
People from the four families including Liu Shaoqing were indeed hired by Zhang Zhong to do things. Because there were other things in Liu Shaoqing's family, they found fewer people, and people from the other three families came over because the head of the family was not there.
Zhang Zhong didn't do anything with the people of the three families. He took it with him when he hid on the mountain. When he came back, he began to arrange work. In fact, the purpose was very simple.
After all, Zhang Wang doesn't have time to teach the family. She put all her thoughts on the child in her stomach, ready to nurse her back, and regenerate a baby like Zhang Xiaobao or Wang Juan.
In fact, in addition to doing some things they did before, the servants in the four people’s household actually talk about how they think they can do good work, how they use their free time to rest, and how the host’s family loses their temper. manage.
These things are different from everyone’s mouth. After all, everyone has a different understanding. Even the members of the Zhang family don’t have to worry about the master’s temper. It is very good to listen to it. There is no special book to learn these things, listening to others is also an accumulation of experience.
Those women who rested at night just listened to the ladies of the three families talking about various rules and knowing more about the outside world. Cao and Rui felt that it was useless to do so, but Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not think so.
The two people think that this place will develop sooner or later. Now that the basic construction is almost the same, next year, the first phase of construction will be completed and the second phase will begin.
Then, if this infrastructure is built, it will naturally be able to cultivate the centripetal force and enthusiasm of the people, and they will be more yearning for the future life. As a result, some cultural aspects will not be able to keep up. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have given this to the local people. The people set up a night school.
It turned out that the two people planned to teach the people literacy directly, but later found out that these people didn't want to learn literacy, so they just need to find a place for their children to learn.
This kind of thing is absolutely impossible. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan do not deny that in a family, there is only one child studying, and the other relatives are all illiterate, this child may have more achievements in the future than the children of those intellectuals. .
But this phenomenon is individual. Two people pursue not the individual, but the whole. If you want to mobilize the enthusiasm of these people who are unwilling to learn, you must let them know more about the outside.
The wives of Cao and Rui’s three families are very good teachers. Sometimes Zhang Wang and Wang Juan’s mother also come to talk for a while, especially Zhang Wang, once they dress themselves well, and show others the knowledge they have learned. When speaking, that kind of demeanor and temperament fascinated the listener.
From sitting, standing and waiting, to how to deal with others, there are still some etiquettes. Even the wife of Cao and Rui’s family does not know many of these things. In this way, those who listen have an idea, that is One day my home will be like this too.
To be able to live such a life, it is false to say that you are not tempted. Although everyone is still an ordinary family, there are so many chambers of commerce established. Almost every family of the people can participate in it, even if it is not profitable. It’s a bit too late, but after all they are part of them. If the Chamber of Commerce develops in the future, their money will increase accordingly.
At that time, if others understand more and less understand yourself, wouldn’t it be a joke? If the country is rich, the wealthy will come, and the local government will keep the people. It is exactly this.
It’s almost night today, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are also listening, listening to some flowers. People from the four families and the gardeners from Zhang and Wang’s family all gathered together. They discussed it this day. How to plant the flowers better and how to match them.
In the end, the gardeners of the Zhang family have learned a lot. After making a summary, they came up with a lecture program and gave lectures to some people who are going to be gardeners in the future.
The status of a craftsman is not as high as a farmer. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan still insisted on letting different people learn to become a craftsman, and they also asked Zhang Zhong to post a notice that such craftsmen could be in the future. Get a sum of money every month, not much, but the extra income can move people's hearts.
Seeing the gardener on the makeshift stand talking there, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan felt very fulfilled and sat down and looked at the other people back and forth.
"Xiaobao, you said three to five years, what will it look like here?" Wang Juan asked Zhang Xiaobao happily.
"I can't wait for three to five years. I have to get something out first. Two years, preferably one and a half years. Then my father will leave. Now the craftsmen must be cultivated earlier. , I can’t control what others think of artisans, but the status of artisans here must be improved.”
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the people on stage and replied Wang Juan.
"Well, then look for more craftsmen from outside. These craftsmen don't know why they can't get a good position. The more basic, the more conducive to the development of society. The current society is actually one This kind of deformity has developed, missing important links such as merchants and craftsmen.
Then it will take one year to form a controversy of a hundred schools of thought here, and in another half a year, let everyone identify with these craftsmen. One and a half years should be enough. The first step is not to take too much steps and stay. A foundation so that we can continue to follow this path after we leave. "
Wang Juan understands Zhang Xiaobao's mind, that he wants to achieve certain results in the construction of the place during the two years of Zhang Zhong's tenure. In this way, Zhang Zhong's ability will be valued by the court and it will be easier to arrange in the future.
Another point is that Zhang Xiaobao wants to literate all the people here to the church, so that they can know more. If the next governor develops according to the set things, there will be nothing, and the achievements he should get. , There will be no shortage of money to get.
But if he dared to be like some officials, and came here to gain advantage, take advantage, embezzle, etc., then put him in the air so that he can't do anything, especially when he meets literate people and knows better. To many people, it is impossible to deceive the people.
Of course, Wang Juan didn't think that the plan that Zhang Xiaobao had worked out for a few days would be so simple. Then there must be something to do. As for what it is, Zhang Xiaobao doesn't say what it is, and Wang Juan is not in a hurry to ask, it will naturally be clear at that time.
The gardener on the table was still talking there. At the beginning, he felt a little nervous and kept mumbling in his heart. Don’t be afraid. The people sitting underneath them don’t know anything. What I say is what I say. I worked it out with other gardeners, even if it was something wrong.
Thinking about this, his voice trembled slightly when he started talking, but as he said, he devoted himself to the content of the lecture, forgetting to be afraid, and regardless of the individuals below, the more he spoke, the better he spoke. In the same way, the people below listened more carefully.
"Yes, it seems that this gardener has already experienced the benefits of lectures. Maybe he is not clear. At this time, he is very confident, and he will gradually understand later."
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the appearance of the gardener on the table and gave a very high evaluation, and then said: "If such a person feels that he is better than others, he will worry that one day he will be surpassed. I will work harder to study this aspect of my own affairs, okay.
I decided to wait for these craftsmen to finish the lesson, and then let them summarize how to teach the lesson well and teach it to more people. Then everyone will not be afraid to face such a situation. "
"Yes, give them confidence and let the people in Luzhou have a higher level of thinking than other places, so that they will develop faster."
Wang Juan also agreed with this approach, that is, to form a regional cultural atmosphere, ahead of the surrounding places, but said this, but also a little worried, said: "But I am afraid that people here will look down on people in other places and always think of themselves They are superior, yes, they are indeed superior to others, so what do you do if you look down on others? Especially since they are humble, they put this kind of contempt in their bones.
In that way, it will be troublesome to communicate with other places. Can you think of a way to prevent them from doing this? I don't want to see them go outside and look down at people from the same country. "
Wang Juan’s concern is not unreasonable, and Zhang Xiaobao knows it, but Zhang Xiaobao has no solution to this problem. He shook his head and said: “It is this kind of contempt that can keep this place developing at a high speed. I can’t think of a solution.
This is a common problem of mankind. This is true between countries, and between regions and regions. In fact, this is also a good thing. For example, it is because of such a superior idea that there is a pity and help for the weak. the behavior of.
I think that this problem cannot be attributed to the people in the well-developed areas. If the people in the poorly-developed areas can improve themselves, then trying hard to catch up is not necessarily a promotion.
When I left the orphanage and went outside to find a way to survive, many people looked down on me. This is not the adults. Some adults pity me and give me food, some despise me, and those who are far away from me are tight. I'm afraid I will stolen them.
It’s the same with children. Some people scold me, and others spit on me. I hated it at that time, but when a child in a princess dress gave me an ice cream that I just bought, I felt that the world It's not all indifferent. "
Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan at this point. Wang Juan listened very seriously. She liked to hear Zhang Xiaobao talk about the past. She didn't know much about it. When she was young, she and Zhang Xiaobao were like people from two worlds.
"Finally, Xiaobao, tell me again, what's next?" Wang Juan urged Zhang Xiaobao to stop when he saw Zhang Xiaobao.
"In the future, when I was fourteen years old, I got a child who fell into the water. His family was very rich. At that time, I thought so. When playing on a bridge, I drilled through a fence on a broken bridge. He came out and fell into the river. I happened to be practicing swimming in the river, so I saved him easily.
When I got to the shore, a lot of cars, all famous, formed a convoy. There was an old man who wanted to take me to his house for dinner. I was frightened by the convoy and stood stupidly. There, the child's father wrote me a check, which I didn't know was a check.
I thought he could give me money, but he handed me a piece of paper, but naturally I didn’t pick it up. I think he gave me less and gave me a piece of torn paper, even if he gave me 100 yuan, then There were Chinese characters written on the paper, as well as numbers. I still remember them. The numbers had a one, followed by eight zeros, or one million. I glanced at it and didn't answer it. "
"Chuck chuck..." Wang Juan couldn't help laughing suddenly, and Zhang Xiaobao also laughed. A cash check for one million is not as good as one hundred yuan.
"Xiaobao, I really admire you. I'm not tempted to face a million. It's amazing. Keep talking. It's so fun." Wang Juan continued to laugh.
"As a result, the child's father slapped the old man, and the old man said to the man,'Do you think that someone else saved my grandson because you are interested in your money? My grandson's life is worth a million?' I knew it was one million, and I regret it was broken. I thought, if I got it, I wouldn't be able to go back to the orphanage to have a look and buy more things for the people there.
But when people took the money back, I naturally couldn’t grab it anymore, so I went to the old man’s house and had a good meal. The old man wanted to arrange something for me to go to school, but I refused. I Talking to the old man at that time, and knowing a lot of things, people have to be self-improving.
Later, the old man gave me some money, and I sent it to the orphanage. I just filled in a phone number and an ID number, and it was actually sent to the place. Don’t you know what happened later? ? The road to self-improvement I chose is that.
I have also dealt with that family several times. One time, I was injured and hid in their home. After they knew about me, they did not go to the police and protected me. According to their words, they No matter what crime I committed, I only know that I saved their family.
When I left the country and went outside, I worked with them to repair some rural roads and build some schools. I paid a large portion of the money, and they paid a small portion. This is also where my life is going to be closer. A back-hand, even if those funds have problems, they are still helping to do things, of course, there are other back-hands. "
The two originally said that the improvement of regional culture would make people in this area proud, but when they were talking, they talked about Zhang Xiaobao's previous things, and everything was caused by the topic of self-improvement.
Wang Juan didn’t laugh at Zhang Xiaobao’s act of giving up one million for one hundred yuan. He shook Zhang Xiaobao’s hand and said, “If all people can be like you, then the motherland will be very strong. It's a pity that you have given so much, but you are destined to not be able to leave a good reputation."
"What reputation do you want? I'm content anyway. Now that I am here, can't I help the motherland become stronger? Let's go, it will be better in the future, let's see how they are doing bamboo dance."
Zhang Xiaobao didn't care about so many things anymore. His mentality was satisfied, so he felt fulfilled, and took Wang Juan to quietly leave this class and go to the place to train others.
After the two walked for a while, they stopped until they heard the sound of bamboos colliding with each other in the yard they were about to enter, and there was also movement that screamed pain.
The two looked at each other and smiled and walked in, only to see that some people inside were colliding with two bamboo poles back and forth there, and there was someone playing the drum next to them. The drum beat was not so stable, and the woman who moved the bamboo poles did not follow all of them. With the drum beat, some men hid the bamboo poles back and forth, making it harder to escape.
In addition to the cry of pain, there was also the laughter of those women playing with bamboo poles.
"It seems that I still have to practice. Otherwise, when I get to Hainan Island, I won't be able to integrate with the local people better. It will be better if it hurts. They are also really ruthless. Fight hard, hehe."
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the scene in front of him and said to Wang Juan.
Wang Juan also covered his mouth and laughed there. I haven’t seen this kind of thing for a long time. I encountered it when I was traveling. At that time, men and women were all-powerful. But the real folklore is that women come here to fight. Jump, then you can only proceed according to this.
Those individuals saw the little son and the little lady, stopped one after another, and got together here for the little son and little lady to play together.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head vigorously: "No, you just have to play, remember to be serious, don't be inferior to others then, in that case, you just wait to be laughed at."
"Practice quickly, don't treat it as fun, do it as a task, and see it again tomorrow. If that's the case, then I'm going to change." Wang Juan said while standing next to Zhang Xiaobao.
Now everyone didn’t dare to be so casual, and went over there to continue practicing. Normally, the drum beats were basically the same fixed types, but Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had to let them practice more types. And even those who jump are not allowed to jump in just one posture. In that case, if the people here have new tricks, wouldn't it be troublesome.
The two wanted to use cotton as a gift, and as something to be exchanged in the future, and wanted to impress the Li people with things like Chinese knots, and finally used this bamboo pole to blend into that place.
"Let's go, let's see how their Chinese knots are doing." Seeing that the people here are practicing again, Wang Juan pulled Zhang Xiaobao and walked away.
At this time, the three of Cao and Rui also found their family members. When they saw the appearance of their families, all three of them were stunned. They thought that these people in the family would meet with yellow and thin faces. After all, they secretly ran out for such a long time. And the family still owes money.
In that case, life will be very difficult, but I didn’t expect to see the people in the family, all of them will be red, so naturally the relatives in the family need not be mentioned, unless these people have left the house and went outside to find a way out by themselves. , Otherwise it’s impossible to get good, but the master’s is bad.
The three people are still embarrassed. Fortunately, the subordinates in their own home can still recognize the master. As soon as they saw the three of them, the subordinates in Cao Herui's house ran over, looked at the master and said, "Master, How did you get it? Hurry up, the master is back. Hurry up and let someone go in and tell the lady. Also, prepare food, bath water, and a set of clothes."
The servant asked a question, and immediately shouted at the other side.
When he shouted, there was confusion over there, but he soon recovered, and the family members also came out to greet him. When he saw Cao Herui's appearance, Cao Herui's wife and concubines all cried and pulled them home. Let's go, this is a temporary home arranged for them, and the place used to be too far away can't live.
"What are you doing well?" Cao Herui asked his wife, pulling him up.
"Okay, fortunately, there is no shortage of food or clothing. I just don't have any spare money. If I make some money, I can use it to pay off the debt. Master, how did you do this? Did Ning Cishi ignore you?"
Cao Herui's wife said distressedly, the other concubines were only anxious but did not dare to come over, after all, the eldest lady was there.
"It's okay, I'll get better in the future, Zhang Zhong doesn't have trouble for you?" After Cao Herui entered the yard, he found that there was no place in his body that was not uncomfortable. The whole body and mind were relaxed, which made it difficult. .
"Master, rest assured, Zhang Zhong not only didn't have trouble for us, but he also found something to do for us. Now the money has been repaid a lot. The profit is high, but we make more." Cao Herui's lady said happily.
