Zhang Zhong was the first to get the news. He was still worried that if the emperor listened to Ning Cishi’s words, he would really distribute him to a more remote place. He would not care about the remoteness, but the construction here has not been completed yet, he will Feel unwilling.
Ask someone to tell the story to his son, and see how his son will decide. If it doesn't work then, he will compromise, and how to get Luzhou right.
As a result, when the news from the inner court came, it was not a compromise but an attack. Yes, Zhang Zhong understood the consequences of doing this. The people of Qinzhou would follow a lot. After all, this place is better than other surrounding state capitals. The people's life is also easier.
Now that his son said so, Zhang Zhong would naturally not object. His son has never made a mistake until now. The only thing that is wrong is that he did not know the initial flood in advance, but that is also impossible. No one can guess that there will be such a big water.
Zhang Zhong made a decision in his heart, and immediately began to make arrangements to call the people who had come from Qinzhou to the Yamen, and to prepare food properly, so that these people went to Qinzhou to win people.
In fact, there is no need for him to win over. People in Qinzhou have already begun to come here, especially those in the villages that were rescued by Huzi and others. They really treat the government in this place too much The heart was chilling. After the disaster, the first person to come over turned out to be from Luzhou.
Just thinking about it, you can know how hard it took those individuals to get here. How could an official who is good to the surrounding state capital not be good to the people under his control
So these people organized and brought everything they could take away, and they came along the mountain road to Luzhou. It was really not easy to drag their families and mouths, but no matter what the road was, it was difficult to go. The people also made up their minds to rush to Luzhou, and they really couldn't continue living here.
Those who were able to walk went straight away, and those who could not walk also ran to the edge of the Qinjiang River and hid in the big boat, waiting for the big boat to take them back. Except for these people with inflexible legs and feet, all the people on the boat were sick. The wounded who had stabilized, and those who could be saved, the doctors on the ship tried their best to save them.
At that time, there were a few deaths every day. Now the previous patients are stable, and no more patients are sent. The two ships have distributed some food to the local people, and they are preparing to return to the voyage. Came twice.
He originally thought that he would be able to get some people's hearts when he came. After all, he is a governor. With such an identity to visit the people, the people will be very moved if they want to come.
But in the end there was a deviation. The people were not touched at all. The people who were grateful were the guards and doctors from Luzhou. Without them, more people would die, not to mention being dug out from under the ruins of the house. How much, it's just that those people who have been rescued will not be able to survive if they are replaced by ordinary people.
Even if there were some individuals who were not saved in the end, no one would say that the doctors on the ship were not good at medical treatment. In their eyes, many of the wounded were no longer able to survive, but they were surprised by the doctors on the ship. It's just the ability, let alone the doctor sent from Luzhou.
The people are more willing to go to Luzhou now. I heard that there is no money for seeing a doctor in Luzhou. In this way, not only the officials in Luzhou are good, but they also don’t have to worry about getting sick. Many people just because they don’t have money. He died after healed the disease, and anyone who was so seriously injured could be treated, not to mention the usual minor illnesses.
The original population of Qinzhou was much larger than that of Luzhou. However, after this incident, more than 10,000 people were leaving Qinzhou for Luzhou. These people were very smart and were afraid of being stopped, so they all walked around separately. , Walk a small part today and bring all kinds of things.
Waiting for a few people to come back in this small part of tomorrow, and then leave some, it gives people the feeling that they are all looking for a job outside to do it, no one would think that they are confusing the officials sent by Qinzhou, just like that. , More than 10,000 people, before Zhang Zhong's people arrived, and officials on Qinzhou's side hadn't noticed, they all went into the mountains.
After arriving in the mountains, they found a place to gather, and the people's team marched toward Luzhou, where there is the life they yearn for, and there is the paradise in their hearts.
Huzi and the others are considered to have completed the task. They followed the two big ships that were basically empty and went back. Ning Zhong also learned the news. He wanted to keep the person who was pulled by the big ship. But there are not so many doctors on his side to do the next thing.
After thinking about it, I felt that these injured people were also a burden, so I gave up. After two days, when news came one by one, Ning Zhong was completely stupid.
"What? All the people in the disaster-stricken areas are gone? I don't know where they went? Can you still not see the footprints? Chase me, don't let them leave. More than 10,000 people are gone. Who is on my side? Come to farm? Who will do the work?"
What Ning Zhong heard was the news that the people in the villages had left. While surprised, he couldn't think of how so many people left so smoothly. It stands to reason that he should have known the news a long time ago.
The person in charge also had a bitter face. Hearing the command from the master, he said: "Master, it is too late. It is estimated that the people have entered the mountain early. Even if there are traces, the people will have a special person to lighten the traces. If you really send someone to chase, maybe you can catch up, but what can you do if you catch up? Forcing the people to come back, how many troops do you have to send out
If there are too many dispatches, things will be too busy here. If there are fewer dispatches, the people are really anxious. It will easily lead to civil rebellion, sir, let's think of a solution quickly. "
The steward naturally knew why the people had left, and he also knew where they were going. Apart from Luzhou, he couldn't think of any place where the people could go by themselves.
Ning Zhong is also aware of this, but things are just like what the steward said. Once the people leave, they don’t plan to come back. This is not easy to handle. Sending troops to catch some people who are walking slowly will have to It takes a few days to catch up. After all, you can't ride a horse on the mountain. If you don't do it, it will cause civil uprising. At that time, even if he has a thousand mouths, it will be useless. The emperor will definitely not spare him lightly.
Thinking about this, Ning Zhong became annoyed the more he thought about it. After a while, he sighed and said, "If we knew this, we should send people out and give the food. Now it's okay, everyone is gone. If you catch up with the food, the people may not agree to come back.
All this was done by Zhang Zhong. If he didn’t send a boat to deliver things and give treatment, if he didn’t send a small team of more than 100 people, how could the people be willing to go to Luzhou? Knowing what happened to the folder, I want to come to the top, and soon there will be a decision to dispense Zhang Zhongfa to a farther place. "
When Ning Zhong had nothing to do, he pushed all the responsibilities to Zhang Zhong. He was still waiting for his account to work. If he left the official post, he would get news in two days. Of course, He didn't know that the Zhang family had known about this in advance. The pigeons raised in Zhang Jiuling's family were just as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan thought, and there were some in the capital, responsible for communication.
No matter how fast a horse runs, it is far inferior to a pigeon, and its endurance is also much worse. I know that it is faster to go to the army station, but Ningzhong dare not, in case someone gets the handle. It's all over.
While Ning Zhongze was anxiously trying to find a way, those people had already gone out a long way, and it seemed very lively along the way, especially the cry of the little baby, not only loud, but also not penetrating power. On one side, people pulled their necks and shouted that they could be compared.
"Let's go, let's all go, Zhang Zhong, I am at odds with you. I took away a lot of my people before, and then I bought a lot of things from me, and then stopped my boat and the things on the bed. They have all been evacuated, and now they dare to do so
Hmph, don’t let me live well, and I won’t let you live well anymore, don’t you want to collect something that can be used as a tribute? Accept, let you accept, the money from the last catastrophe has not been recovered yet, right? I don't let you sell these things at a price. "
Ning Zhong said angrily, and instructed the housekeeper: "Are there many things in our house that should be used as tribute? Take out half of it and ship it to the capital city, hurry, um, by land. Otherwise, if you continue to travel by sea, you will be easily stopped by them again.
I don’t know what happened to Cao and Rui and the three of them. It depends on the situation that there was a strong wind and the people on the boat. I don’t know how many people can not find it. Let’s just ignore this, and wait for you to bring the goods to the capital. , Just sell the souvenirs we brought in at a cheaper price. "
"Ah? Master, are you saying you want to sell those tributes? That's not cost-effective. It's better to let the younger ones think of a way, even if they don’t sell so many things, some of the tributes are normal. The common people can't use it, but it's nothing. The rich and noble family can use the common people's use, and all people can't live without the medicine and other things they eat.
After you just get there, you can sell it at a lower price, and then let the people in your family go there to buy it, and say what you have eaten is not good. Don’t ask a doctor, just let them pretend to see who will laugh in the end. , After the steaming several times, the price of the same goods will become cheaper. When they wait for the Zhangjia to sell, others are worried, so fewer people don’t buy them. At that time, we will take the other things in the house. Take it out and sell it very cheaply.
Although doing so has a lot of loss for us, it is better than Zhang Zhong's family. What does the master think? Now if it’s sold out, we won’t have anything to keep prices down when Zhang Zhong’s house sells it too. "
As soon as the steward heard the matter, he knew how the master thought about it, but he thought about the longer term, and lowered his head to tell the plan. This is more detailed and also more secure.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you at this time. It must be done. I don't believe him. If Zhang Zhong has so much money to buy something and can't sell it, don't worry. By the way, take Zhang Zhong's house here. Also talk to the local people about the goods, especially to tell them how much those things are worth in other places, and find some reason to say that these things are not good, and see what Zhang Zhong does. ?"
Ning Zhong now hates to find Zhang Zhong, and then bit off a piece of meat on Zhang Zhong's body and eats it. This loyalty is too hateful, and he absolutely can't let him go like this. The only thing he regrets is that he helped in the first place. Zhang Zhong wrote a good book.
I don't know what the people in the court will think, do you want to say that you are turning back? But I don’t care about so much anymore. When the time comes, the person who comes to check must keep it here first. Isn’t that a benefit? Just give more, but Zhang Zhong must not make it easier.
Ning Zhongze's hands were tightly clenched into fists, and his nails squeezed into the flesh of his palms.
The butler didn’t say much this time. He also saw that he wanted to use his family’s money to fight against Zhang Zhong. He didn’t know how much money Zhang Zhong’s family had, regardless of whether the Ning family had an aristocratic family. A lot of the money was not kept at home, and they were all divided out to do business. The two boats in this trip were part of the money, as well as the goods that were stolen by Zhang Zhong. They were all a lot of money. .
It's all right now, the cargo is gone, and the ship is missing one. In such a strong wind, the ship may have sunk, but I don't know how the people on it are. There is no news yet.
The housekeeper took the order to leave, leaving Ning Zhong alone in the study, staring blankly at a few books on the desk, and muttering: "Zhang Zhong, Zhang Zhong, wait for the people sent from above to arrive. In this place, let me see what consequences you can have. I dare to grab a place with me, people, and my goods. I make people regret coming to this world."
Ning Zhong now thinks that Zhang Zhong will not be able to beat his Ning family by then, and he has spent so much money without taking it back. Then he comes to him and begs in person, so that he can enjoy the joy of life.
Thinking about this, Ning Zhong felt better, as if he could really do it.
Thinking of these money matters, he thought of the money Cao and Rui three took away from him. The money was used for flying money. By then, he would be able to come here to withdraw money by relying on flying money.
"No, if the three of them die and the flying money is taken away by someone else, it is easy to send someone over to take the money away. Since this is the case, they may not survive anymore. It is better to arrange it first. Don't let other people get the money away, yes, come here."
After a few more mutters, Ning Zhong shouted to the outside, waited for someone to come in, and said to the person who came: "Tell the pawnshops that the flying money sent out a few days ago, except for the three people Cao and Rui. Come, let the others ignore it. Also, why haven't the people sent out to inquire about the news come back? If we send out some more people, if we don't know what happened in Luzhou, we won't be able to handle it.
If you want to deal with Zhang Zhong, you have to know what he is going to do. Even if you can't break them this time, you have to hurt them, huh! Dare to fight me? "
The visitor hurriedly left after hearing this. As soon as that person left, the person who was inquiring about the news rushed back, looking like a servant, and after seeing Ning Zhongze, he said: "Master, the little ones are back, then I'm almost inquiring about the side's affairs."
"Oh? I figured it out? Quickly tell me, what is it like?" Ning Zhongze was finally a little happy at this time, at least able to understand the situation there as soon as possible.
"If you go back to the master, Luzhou is still building the seawall, and has spent a lot of money to build roads. The local people are working hard, basically there is nothing too big, oh, the wharf. A dock came out over there, and the small ones couldn't make it through. They looked too tightly over there, but the small ones could see that the dock was very big, maybe they would use it to build big ships.
Also, the three of Cao and Rui have already gone back. They are more honest over there. They do some small business every day. They don’t make much money, but they don’t have to worry about repaying the debt. The younger ones still find out that Zhang Zhong seems to be there. Some wooden houses were built on the mountain. Some people had already built them there. "
The visitor told what he had inquired, and there were some minor things, which seemed to be nothing, and he didn't care when he said it.
Ning Zhong listened quietly, but he was very shocked. He did not expect that the Zhang family was so tossed that there would still be money to repair the road and the dock. He didn't know what to do with the dock here, but in the capital. Isn't there a dock at the edge? In addition to the dock, but also to repair the house on the mountain? What is this for
Ning Zhong was even more puzzled when he thought of it, but he really couldn’t guess the plan of Zhang’s family. At the same time, he was more jealous. From what he heard, when the spring of next year, there will be all over Luzhou. Great changes, the kind that has changed for the better.
This was something he didn't want to see very much, especially for road construction. If someone who came over to check on it knew about this, among them the straightforward person, his plan might fall to nothing.
"How did you come back? Did you see a large number of people passing over there?" Ning Zhong temporarily suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and asked the people who had gone to inquire about the news.
"In response to the master, we did not see any people. They came back along the river. We also saw our boat, which has fallen to the shore, and part of it is still soaking in the water, master, those boatmen on the boat. Zhang Zhong was able to get to the Yamen too. If they want to come, they won't come back."
The person who inquired about the news answered when he had any questions. He knew that the master was in a bad mood at this time, and was afraid that he would offend the master. In that case, he would at least get a whip.
This news is not so good for Ning Zhongze. I think that the ship is already badly broken. Even if it is to be repaired, it will take a lot of effort. People must go there to repair it. Bring it back.
"Well, the three of them have already gone back. So, their debts are repaid with the flying money? Zhang Zhong, Zhang Zhong, don't say I'm unreasonable, but whoever meets you? Don't expect to get it, you should give them the paperwork of those three people anyway."
Ning Zhong waved his hand to let the person who was inquiring about the news leave. He sat there with a smile and started talking. He was planning to act against the rules. The reason was very simple. That was to make an excuse to say that he was his pawnshop. Something was lost on the side, and among them were those flying money.
Instead, he would never do this in normal times. The credibility is gone, but who let the flying money be in Zhang Zhong's hands. In that case, he would rather lose some credibility, just find a good excuse, and treat other people. It's still the same as before, so he doesn't worry anymore.
Thinking about how to deal with Zhang Zhong in the future, time passed hurriedly. Just as dinner was about to be eaten, the person who used to talk to the pawnshop anxiously came back. When he saw Ning Zhongze, he said, "Master, those few The pawnshop has gone, but the money has been taken away, what should I do, sir?"
"What? Take it away, so fast? Oh, damn Zhang Zhong, he didn't expect to be able to do this. It seems that as soon as he got the flying money, he sent someone over and took the money away as quickly as possible. What can I do? How about tens of thousands of coins?"
When Ning Zhong heard that the money had been taken away, he immediately changed his face, his expression gloomy, as if nothing was pleasing to his eyes.
Where did he know that Zhang Zhong had thought that he would do this for a long time. After taking the flying money, he did not directly forgive the debts of the three people. Take out the money as quickly as possible. The money that was taken out has not been recovered yet.
Only after seeing the money, the three people can be released. Otherwise, they have to continue to pay off their debts. Of course, these days there is no need to pay any profit. After all, they have already taken out the flying money.
Ning Zhong stood up from the futon in surprise just now, and now he thought about it, and sat back down again, his eyes looked straight ahead, without any focus at all.
The person who used to do things hurriedly came over to beat the back. He was worried that the master would not be able to withstand this kind of blow. In case something happened, it would be difficult for the Ning family to get a custodian. He beat the man and said:
"Master, isn't it just the money? The younger ones don't think they have time to transport the money away. They send someone to check it out. Maybe they can find out where the money is. It's a big deal then."
The man stopped beating his back and made a beheading gesture, which meant he had taken it back.
"Yes, yes, check, you must check. No matter where they hide the money, they will find it out for me. I don't believe that they can easily transport so much money. Thanks to my sending someone to stare at the river. By the way, otherwise, they might have got the money on the boat.
Arrange it immediately and tell the investigator that as long as you find the money, reward it, and reward it heavily, even if it is worth a thousand rewards, I want to lose the money on my side and have a dream. "
As soon as Ning Zhong heard this, he had to take the risk, as long as others couldn't catch the handle, what would he say before then
