In the anticipation and anxiety of everyone, the midsummer finally arrived. In the past few days, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan put aside everything and stayed at home. Zhang Zhong also tried his best to put the work in the hands of others, and also accompanied the family waiting for delivery. lady.
Zhang Xiaobao's mother and Wang Juan's mother were pregnant at the same time, as if they were two people.
"Xiaobao, is this accident or coincidence? Will we give birth to the baby again then, just like we did at that time?"
Wang Juan finds it very interesting. I heard people say that she and Zhang Xiaobao were born within a short period of time, and they were also found pregnant in one day.
Where should Zhang Xiaobao go to guess? Hearing Wang Juan asked, he replied: "Whatever he is, we will have a younger brother or younger sister soon, as a cradle, and a stroller."
The two are no longer worried about the time when their mother gave birth to siblings. After the delivery room was repaired, they have delivered many mothers, including several twins. The doctors in the delivery room have accumulated a lot of experience, plus the mother It's not the first time. The child may be a little smaller, but the child is not struggling when he is born.
The mother of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also had a very good mentality at this time, and she was not in a hurry. Every day, she would be accompanied by people for a walk, waiting for the day when the child was born.
In order to let the younger brother or younger sister not lack milk, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan specially searched for a cow that had just given birth. It was not an authentic cow. Anyway, it was enough to have milk. They also asked the craftsman to sculpt the bottle out of glass and make it with a kind of gum. With the pacifier, put it in and the baby will drink it by himself.
The preparations are done, just waiting for the birth of the child.
After the people in Luzhou learned about this, people who were near came to inquire, and those who were a little farther away also wanted to find a way to ask the caravan from over there, everyone was looking forward to the arrival of a new life.
The businessmen who cooperated with the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce also took out gifts one after another. Before the child was born, tens of thousands of people paid attention to it.
All those who have made friends with Zhang's family will bless them in their hearts, and those who have suffered from Zhang Zhongkui don't know if they have a villain.
People from the past on Hainan Island came back and temporarily put the matter down and waited until the child was born. There was nothing major there. The people who were sent out communicated very well with the local people, and they were about to build a wharf there. There was a small problem, and it was resolved quickly.
The local people and the original residents agreed to help build the wharf when they benefited from the Zhang family, but the local official who usually couldn't get much oil and water, and always complained about the hot weather, stopped doing it.
How could the people in the inner courtyard of the Zhang family not know what these officials think? It's just that they don't have the ability to make money, and they feel imbalanced when they watch others make money.
Such a thing is simple, isn't it just money? As long as they are not deliberately hostile, the problem of money is not a problem. The people in the inner courtyard have promised benefits right now. Every time there is a boat parked there, a part of the cost will be paid according to the size of the boat. The last half of the cost will be given to the local area. Officials.
Half a percentage is only one twentieth, which doesn't sound like much, but when the business there is booming, the money will not be a small sum, and the local officials agreed to help repair the dock.
Compared with the Ning family in Qinzhou, this part of the officials has no power in the local area. Except for the local people who pushed it out and asked the court to give a named official, the rest was sent to Yazhou.
Regardless of the officials, the life was not good at all. The local residents were basically disobedient. The people who moved there were not as honest as the affluent places, and many of the annual taxes and taxes could not be collected, even the tribute. It will also be dealt with, after all, people's lives are not good.
If they were used to it before and the people didn’t care about who was an official, then Zhang Zhong came here in Luzhou. After the local people there learned about the living conditions of the people in Luzhou, they would no longer not pay attention as they did before. Live a good life.
In the past, the places that could be contacted around were poor and tolerable. Since people in Luzhou are living well and can eat meat every few days if they want to, they quit. They found out that it was because they were poor here. The place is not good, but the problem of officials.
Especially with the completion of the amusement park, some fishermen from Yazhou deliberately came over to take a look. Last month, even children from two tribes were invited to play here for a few days. The tribe naturally sent warriors to come and protect it.
It’s good now. After playing for a few days, it’s delicious and good to drink and live in. Once I went to tell the story, in a very short time, everyone on such a big island will know that Luzhou is good here. To what extent.
Therefore, when officials prevented the Zhang family from building a wharf here, in addition to the benefits given by the Zhang family that moved them, there was also pressure from the local people.
Regardless of the fact that the people in Yazhou are less literate, many places are still relatively ignorant, but they also know the truth, knowing that Zhang Zhong is impossible to go to where he is, then there is a dock now, and they will naturally contact more in the future. Stupidity also has the benefits of ignorance, that is, after knowing Zhang Zhong's ability, they believe very superstitiously that as long as they have a little relationship with Zhang Zhong, they can benefit from it.
Except for the construction of the future transfer station and a little trouble in the middle, nothing else is left.
The scams of the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan only gave a brief explanation and stopped thinking about it. Now they have benefited. The fish caught by the people of the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce are raised in several large ponds here in Luzhou, and Don't let people from other places come to visit.
Before Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s mother gave birth, the first trade began. Now neither of them knows what fish is called. Even if Zhang Xiaobao had basically eaten a lot of things at that time, he can’t recognize it now. I don't know if it mutated or became extinct at that time.
This kind of fish grows very fast. A small fry grows bigger after a few months of rearing. It was able to lay eggs in those days. No wonder the people from the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce brought it over. If this is done, the local people will have more confidence. .
Usually fish spawn according to the season. This kind of fish is according to the size. As long as it grows up, it will spawn. Of course, if the male is missing, the spawned eggs cannot become small fish. .
The big fish from the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce had already spawned last time, but when they got here, they had to wait for the little fish to grow up. The Zhang family followed the people in the past after inquiring about it. Some of the smaller fish were transported back secretly. After a part of them died, the others are now spawning in large numbers.
In a few large ponds, when I see the day when the fish is about to spawn, I find a way to fish them out and put them in a special place to prevent the eggs from being eaten.
When Zhang Wang's and Wang Juan's mother entered a small courtyard next to the delivery room and waited, the dozen or so people who bought fish found people from the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce and said they could collect fish eggs.
The people in the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce have already endured a lot of pressure. Ning Cishi is very dissatisfied with them. If it weren't for a long distance, and there was no other person to replace them, Ning Cishi would have to replace them.
The main reason is that Qinzhou’s current life is not easy. Not to mention that the task of reclamation has not been completed. Even if the land has not been fully planted, today's output will be affected, and the Ning family will make a lot of less money.
At this time, after knowing that the ten households already had fish eggs, the people in the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce thought of publicizing it. In the past, they could only send people to various places to tell others about this. Now they also Know about the advertisement.
I specifically found a branch of the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce responsible for the advertising business here, and took out the money to let people advertise. It is best to call all the people close to the point to see. The advertising department does not have this business. , For the sake of the extra money that the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce has taken out, agree to it.
Early this morning, everyone passed towards the pond with fish eggs. The people at the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce were very excited. According to their original guess, the fish eggs laid would allow the people to make money back from buying fish. Two or three achievements. Not bad, the people you see will definitely come out very enthusiastically to buy fish. As long as you survive this year, you will be able to cheat more money next year.
That was when they left, and they couldn't afford to wait.
When they arrived at the place, there were a lot of people surrounded by more than 1,000 people. As soon as the people from the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce came, someone immediately sent samples to them to see if it was such a roe. Under the same circumstances, have they all received
People from the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce looked at the fish eggs and found that they were indeed the kind of fish eggs they had brought. As long as they were good, they didn’t care about the quality. .
The sample of the fish eggs passed, and they were put aside for comparison. Then the people of a dozen households took the people from the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce and stood on the edge of the pond. The pond was very shallow, with fine sand underneath, and the water was clear. The situation inside can be clearly seen from the side.
"Yan Dong's house, it's here, it's all there. According to what we said at the beginning, there are about 6,000 fish eggs in the pond. Yan Dong's house, take a closer look if you don't need to fish it out."
More than a dozen households have hired this person from the Zhang family to take charge of their business. The Zhang family will help them talk about things and ask the head of the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce with a smile.
When I asked this sentence, it took a while for the people from the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce to recover from their shock. Looking at the fish eggs in the pond, they were all frightened. Yan Dongjia pointed to the fish eggs in the pond and asked incredulously. : "Both? How come there are so many?"
"How good is it? Didn't Yan Dongjia say it at that time? It said that using fish eggs can make a lot of money. If we have more fish eggs, we will have more money in the future. Isn't that true?"
The people from Zhang's family said there as if congratulating the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce.
The people in the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce no longer know how to speak at this time. They said that at the beginning, but the problem is, this... They are a lie. Why would you think that a family of more than a dozen households will have to pay? How many times is this more than six thousand consistent money
All the people who can only deal with the Zhang family silly there, the smiles on their faces are not the same as before. The more than a dozen households have long been arranged by the Zhang family, and now they smile and look at the five chambers of commerce. People, waiting for them to take the money.
The surrounding people also set their sights on the people of the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce, to see if it means to consider whether they should also buy it.
At this time, Yan Dong’s sweat is almost gone, knowing that there are a lot of eyes looking at himself and others. If you don’t take the money this time, then no one will buy it again, but you can take it, in case there are not many people buying in the future. Didn't you lose it
The most important thing is, why the fish can lay so many eggs? It's wrong. If you look at the current situation, you will pay more next time.
Thinking of this, Yan Dongjia smiled and asked one of the dozen or so households: "How do you raise fish? It's really good. You can lay so many eggs."
"Then can this egg be exchanged for money?" the person being asked retorted.
"Yes, let someone send the money over in a while. You have so many fish eggs, we also make money, how do we raise the fish?" Yan Dongjia didn't give up and asked again.
"Just as you say."
"Then can we go and see the fish?"
"I've eaten them all, waiting for you to give us new fish, the fish is only fragrant, I had already left two for the owner." The man replied with a smile.
"Eat it? Oh, just eat it. New fish will be delivered soon. Do you see that if you raise this kind of fish, you can get 6,000 coins in the end, and you will get 6,000 coins in the end. Thousands of sticks, if there is anything to raise, come to my side to talk about it."
Yan Dong’s family has no choice. This time it should be the last chance. He can’t wait until the next time he collects fish eggs. It just so happens that there are so many people now that he can help publicize. Luzhou only needs all the fish People are tempted, and they can still make a fortune, even if 30% of them are willing to buy it.
He thought that there would be a lot of people crowding right now, but the people around were all standing there, and no one came forward at all.
Seeing that no one came, Yan Dong's house was a little dumbfounded, and asked the people who came from Zhang's family: "Do they think they are making less?"
"No, they haven't seen the money yet." The Zhang family gestured to Yan Dong's house to make him understand that no one would continue to buy the money unless it was used.
Yan Dongjia suddenly "Oh, yes, yes, money, someone, hurry up and get the money."
Following his words, someone will come to take the money immediately. This is not what they thought, but the government has already surrounded them. If they don’t give the money, they will be arrested, and the money they bring will also be. Sent away, now the people of the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce are in a difficult situation.
All of them are very regretful. If they didn’t agree so much just now, they said that they should take a good look at the fish eggs. In such a situation, they can say that the things here are not good, and they are trying to keep the price down, or even refuse to accept them, but they don’t know. There are so many, and I promised in a moment of eagerness.
There is no difference between the fish eggs in the pond and there, and they don't dare to reckless at this time.
Everyone waited for more than an hour, and the 6,000 guan of money was finally picked up. More than a dozen fish eggs were placed in the same pond. It is not easy to ask each of them how much, and give the money directly to them. point.
As soon as the money changed hands, Yan Dongjia took this opportunity to immediately say to the people around him again: "See? The money has been given. As long as the money is consistent, you can get six thousand guana. What are you waiting for, buy it right away. When you wait for next year’s spawning, you can buy whatever you want, wear new clothes and eat meat every day."
At this time, he was forced to have no choice but to speak bad words, and he looked at the surrounding people with his eyes as he spoke.
He thought that the people watching the excitement could rush in all of a sudden, but he didn't think that the people who looked forward to seeing the money just now came in hand, and they gathered around the dozens of families and congratulated them. After saying congratulations, one by one turned and left.
"Everyone, go slowly, you can make a lot of money with just a little bit of money in the business of making a fortune. Everyone, don't go."
Seeing the people scattered around, Yan Dong's family was really anxious at this moment, and even ran over to pull a person's sleeve and persuade him.
"No buying, no money, no place, my house is on the other side of the mountain." The dragged man broke free and threw a sentence and walked away.
"How can this be? How can this be?" Yan Dongjia was even more stupid at this time. He felt that today's things seemed a little too simple, but the result was unexpected.
The people in the other Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce are also dumbfounded. There is no money for 6,000 guan, no advertising fees, and their task has not been completed. Wasn't it good just now? Why did it change in a blink of an eye
Waiting for the surrounding people to disperse, the people from Zhang's family shook their heads and said to Yan Dong's house: "My house is busy with other things, and there is really no spare time to play with you. This time I will teach you a lesson. , Go back and tell your master, take your mind to the right."
"What? What are you talking about? I don't understand." Yan Dongjia heard what the Zhang family said, his sweat oozes out again, he felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost collapsed, staggering and standing still, pretending not to understand. Asked.
"If you don’t understand, you don’t understand. As long as I know that this is my house, I don’t have time. I just let you go. Otherwise, I will sell you less fish eggs this time, and buy a little fish for dozens of dollars, etc. When the little fish grows up, it’s not a six-thousand-gun thing anymore. Let’s go. The Zhang family gave them a guarantee. Now that you have got so many fish eggs, you can go back and divide it into pieces."
The Zhang family didn’t pay attention to the other party’s pretending to be stupid at all. They dropped this sentence and walked back carefully. The government officials also gathered around to protect the people from the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce back to the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce to distribute the money. one cent.
If the people in the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce wanted to pretend to be stupid just now, they are not in this mood anymore. Obviously, the people of the Zhang family have seen them through. When it's over, the people of the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce have this idea in their minds at the same time. .
They understood what the Zhang family said. They heard that the two wives of the Zhang family and the Wang family were about to have children again, so they didn't have the heart to accompany them to play here.
It turned out that I was calculated when I was waiting for someone. What kind of shit idea? It was over right from the beginning. I didn't cheat any money and didn't say anything. I still took some time and lost a lot of money. How can this be good
"Big brother, what should I do? Should we just go back like this? Master still has to peel our skins?" A person next to Yan Dong's house thought of the consequences, and asked with a trembling voice there.
Yan Dongjia can’t help it. He is still very grateful to the Zhang family. To be precise, he is grateful to the two wives of the Zhang family and the Wang family. If it weren’t for them to have something to do now, then the Zhang family really did what the person just said. It’s not just a few thousand pennies that I’m waiting for.
It is very likely that the Ning family will be implicated. People don't have time to take care of other things now. I heard that there are two children in the belly of the two ladies.
"Huh..." Yan Dongjia exhaled vigorously, looking at the people next to him, and said: "Go back, give the Zhang family money, and leave here immediately, don't be afraid, if the master knows about Luzhou , I won’t blame me for waiting, I can only complain about the bad idea at home."
"Oh..." Several people agreed at the same time, but they were thinking in their hearts, is it really a bad idea? When I first learned about this idea, I felt that everyone in my family was as powerful as a fairy. Such a method was a deceitful one.
It's just that it becomes different from what you imagined when you arrive in Luzhou. It seems that the Zhang family's business is not easy, otherwise, how would you know that you and the others came here to cheat
"Big brother, I wonder if it’s not good to go back like this. Why don’t you take a detour to Lianzhou? Can Lianzhou also see through? We still have some money. Find something quick. How can I get the lost money? Come back."
One of the people in the team obviously didn't want to lose money, and was afraid to go back and clean up. He suggested next to him. As soon as he said his words, everyone in the team, including Yan Dongjia, brightened their eyes and agreed with this method in their hearts.
"Okay, just do it. It's not just Lianzhou. After you have defrauded Lianzhou, you can go to other places to continue cheating. You can bypass the place where Zhang's family buys and sells and just don't run into them."
Yan Dongjia said excitedly, looking at the people following him, and seeing them all nodded and waved their hands, leading people to the Chamber of Commerce in Luzhou.
At this time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not go far. They were reading under the shade of the trees in the yard. Today’s affairs are arranged and waiting for a reply there. If the people from the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce dare not give the money, they will directly arrest them. stand up.
"Little son, little lady, yes, they gave it. Six thousand pens. It should have been more. I don't have time to check it carefully. Even if they have six thousand pens, our chamber of commerce can collect another money."
A person hurriedly walked in from outside, and happily reported to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan when he got closer.
"Okay, just give it, no time to accompany them, there are still big things waiting for me to do." Zhang Xiaobao stopped and said.
"What the young man said is, but young man, it seems that they are going to other places to cheat, do you need to remind other places?" the person asked again.
