Great Tang Idyll

Chapter 542

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have something to do now, and they are facing a very profound subject.

"Is it because of curiosity, or because of the environment?" Wang Juan raised two points. The first one is easy to understand, and the second one is to adjust the environment around children as much as possible and create accidents constantly. Can all children be able to Have active analysis and hands-on awareness.

"Then add toys to it, and see if they can think of a way to make a certain change like they are now, yes, that is, change, take the bell from the door to the rope, if the first time is accidental. , The next three times will be impossible.

Also, you can see that they know that shaking can make the bell ring, so they work hard on it. They may not know the principle of the bell ringing, but they can observe it. Very good, just let them shake it, maybe after shaking it, they will learn to Work hard in one direction at the same time.

Make a small swing, keep it short off the ground, and wrap it thickly, and see when they climb up to play, knowing that they are pushing towards one place at the same time. "

Zhang Xiaobao doesn't know what problems such a big child can think about, but he knows that thinking is sometimes a habit. Now that the four little guys show up, they need to be cultivated.

Li Xun also got off the ladder at this time and said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan: "It's really amazing. I can think of putting bells on the rope to make a sound. It's amazing. Maybe the people of your family are born amazing."

Zhang Xiaobao smiled, pulled Wang Juan and ran back. One was to let his parents come over and see, maybe the four little guys hadn't played enough yet, and the other was to make other toys.

"I think we should make a simple little maze, let them play, and make it a little more complicated every time they can find the right way. They will gradually adapt." Wang Juan suggested.

"Well, let’s go back and let people do it. The playground is not good, too big, and not suitable for children to crawl around. We should also design a kind of door, make a code lock on the door, and use a big ball. Come as a password, just pull Yuanqiu in the order, you can open the door, first three, then gradually increase, let them play."

Zhang Xiaobao was originally planning to put this game out when the four little guys were one or two years old, and it seemed that they should be taken out now.

He really didn't know whether it was due to the good genes, the usual environmental influences, or the nutritional aspects, let alone him. It was too complicated to find a scientist who specializes in infants.

When the mothers of both sides ran to see the baby, the two went into their own room and began to design.

Two days later, a new toy was made.

At this time, the people sent by the imperial court to replace Zhang Zhong also arrived. All of a sudden, more than a dozen came, some of whom were unscheduled unemployed positions.

Before these dozen or so people came over, they might have been instructed by someone behind them, so they were very polite to Zhang Zhong. In fact, they couldn’t help being polite. When they hurried to the place all the way, the scene they saw touched their hearts. It shook severely.

It’s so beautiful. Being an official in a place like this is just like Wonderland, Lingnan, even if you already know that the building here is pretty good when you come here, you can listen to it. When they really see it, they have a different mood. There is a big gap between what I think in my mind and reality.

The arrival of the replacement official also meant that Zhang Zhong was leaving, and Li Xun would not stay here either. He cleaned up, and Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi also quietly boarded the boat at night, and then slowly left the pier.

Zhang Zhong had gone through a parting, and he didn't want the people of Luzhou, or the people of Wulei County, the nearest to him, to line up to see off like the people of Huayuan County at that time.

But on the morning after they left, the local people found out that the people in the yamen had changed, and immediately stopped doing it. They questioned where the new governor had gone. Seeing that, if the new governor was If you don't explain it, you can cause civil upheaval.

The people in Luzhou don’t care about the new officials. To put it bluntly, they want to clean up the new officials. It’s really too simple. Just let their children in the army come over and arrest people. Others have nowhere at all. Be reasonable.

The mountain people will not stop them. They recognize Zhang Zhong more than the local people. In their eyes, there is only Zhang Zhong and no emperor. Zhang Zhong said that if he took them to rebellion, they would nod their heads in favor, especially those who also went with the ship. The child of a mountain people, that is, Zhang Zhongshen's righteous son and godson, made the mountain people recognize Zhang Zhong more and more.

The new governor was terrified. He encountered such a situation for the first time. He had served as a county magistrate and a judge before. He had never seen the people in any place love an official so much. Today is considered a long experience.

The folk customs were really different. In desperation, he didn't care about the dignity of the governor. He told the story from beginning to end, looked at the house that he had just enjoyed the night yesterday, and offered to find a house outside.

The people are fairly reasonable. They didn't let the new governor look for a house elsewhere. The good officials are rich, not short of a house. Besides, they also hope that the new officials will treat them like great officials. After some discussions, they will discuss with the new governor. An agreement was reached that as long as the new governor can do things like the original Zhang governor, the house can live in.

If one day you have bad thoughts, such as corruption or violating the law, then... it's not just a matter of living or not, but whether you can go back alive or not.

Knowing that the great official was gone, the people seemed very disappointed. Later, the new governor gave an idea and asked the people to write a list of people and send them to the capital.

The people in Luzhou were happy now. They found the long silk cloth, those who could write, and those who could not write by handprints. With the help of adults, even the little boy left a fingerprint and rolled it into a big one. The bundle was carried by someone and delivered to the chamber of commerce here.

In the Chamber of Commerce, there are also businessmen in the next state. After knowing the situation, they also wrote their names. They wrote it differently from the common people. They wanted to give Cheng Yi. Write a name and write Cheng Yi on the back. The worst is Baiguan's background, and you can pay for it when you finish writing.

There are a total of six state capitals around Luzhou. There are more than 700 merchants in the Jiaru Chamber of Commerce. Together, everyone’s money has reached 200,000 yuan, nearly 1.3 million catties of copper, and a fleet. Can't fit it, the pile of money is like a mountain.

Frightened the dozen or so new officials. What exactly did Zhang Zhong do with the tens of thousands of people in Luzhou, with 200,000 tons of money

No wonder leaving secretly at night. If this is known to people, it is estimated that it will take a few days to see off. No matter what the purpose of their report, they can no longer compare themselves with Zhang Zhonglai at this moment.

The new governor really came to Luzhou for greed, but he saw the folk customs here, and saw what Zhang Zhong gained after he left. He wondered if he could get more money if he was not greedy. Life is easy to take here.

He is no longer jealous of Zhang Zhong, and when the gap is too big, he can't give birth to jealousy.

What happened in Luzhou was sent to the capital by carrier pigeons earlier. Anyone who saw the news was impressed. Although this was not the first time, the officials still sighed.

Wanmin watch, 200,000 tons of money, and the longevity heirs established by the people of Luzhou, Zhang Zhong’s political performance does not need to be evaluated at all. No one dares to give it to the inferior, even the middle class, otherwise it will be easy. Let the people of Luzhou make trouble.

What's more, it's not just Luzhou, but Yaozhou is close to the capital, and Sanshui County, where the tax for that year was higher than that of the two ordinary states.

If someone else gets 200,000 pennies of belated Cheng Yi, the officials will definitely find a way to impeach them, saying they are corrupt officials. How much money the officials have in their minds is a rough number, a lot, enough to give the emperor one hundred thousand guan to build roads.

It is true that the more money you have, the more you can get money. Even if the officials are psychologically imbalanced, there is no way. Even the emperor laughed. If anyone thinks he has the ability, there are still several states over there. Needless to say, it has been more than a year in the past. It is enough to catch up with the current Luzhou in three years, and come back for promotion.

The officials flinched, not because they didn't want to be promoted, but because they didn't have the ability. The Zhang family was not a human being at all. This was a disaster. Otherwise, they might be back this summer.

Zhang Zhong didn’t know many things that happened after he left. He can’t tell what his mood is now. He is a little bit reluctant and a little worried. After all, he has put in countless efforts to build Luzhou. I don’t know if the new provincial governor can Treat the people of Luzhou well.

In this kind of sadness, he thought of his son and daughter-in-law. Since the two babies are not in a hurry, what anxious he is, I believe that his son and daughter-in-law have been prepared long ago, well, that's it.

Zhang Zhong looked at the night sky and thought about it, thinking that he suddenly thought of what his son said at the beginning, the sea rises and the moon rises, and the end of the world is at this time.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also stood in front of the cabin window, looking at the stars and moon in the sky.

"It's so beautiful, I remembered another song." Wang Juan said quietly.

"Isn't it the starry sky from more than a hundred years ago?" Zhang Xiaobao felt that this song was a little sad, and he didn't like to listen to it very much.

"No, the little boy shouldn't sing that kind of song. What I think of is that there are... countless stars in the sky, the brightest place... is me, I don't know where I come from, and I don't know... Xiaobao, let's go around Can you walk around Hainan Island? Okay?"

Wang Juan sang a few sentences and asked suddenly.

"Why? Isn't the Qiongzhou Strait closer?" Zhang Xiaobao wondered.

"Ask a question, Shanglian, Tianya."

"Answer, xialian, cape."

"Is that right? I'm going to write there." Wang Juan said excitedly.

"Writing at the end of the world? If you have this hobby, we won't be able to finish writing when we travel all day. There are so many places of interest." Zhang Xiaobao didn't react slowly, and he knew Wang Juan's thoughts right away.

"Forget it, let's talk about it next time. I don't believe that someone is earlier than me. Does anyone write in Penglai Pavilion, Shandong? If we keep going by sea and don't enter the canal from Zhejiang, we will be able to get there, and then we will take the Yellow River. "Wang Juan said yearningly.

In winter, it is relatively fast to come from the direction of Beijing, or from the direction of Shandong, to Luzhou, but it is troublesome when you go back. There is a cold current. If you want to go fast, it is easy. That is to turn the ship to the sea. Move out a certain distance horizontally, then you will be able to encounter a warm current.

But Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't even think of going around in Japan, and there were too many unknown dangers on the sea, so they had to go up against the cold current.

Now Wang Juan didn't mention going to Shandong anymore. He found a place where he could turn in and the fleet got in. After the land was all around, the people on the boat were much more comfortable.

People who are eager to return home are stepping on their oars faster. There are enough supplies on board. No one wants to do business on the road. They went to the capital without stopping. Forty days have passed. This speed can only be a word for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, slow.

But for people who have never reached such a speed, it is a miracle. There are still ten days before the New Year, enough to go home, and the boat stops at the pier in the capital.

Zhang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and took what he needed to find the emperor in the palace.

Li Longji didn't expect Zhang Zhong to come back so soon. He thought he would be there after the Chinese New Year. When he was surprised, he had a deep understanding of propellers and ships with wheels on both sides.

After half an hour, Zhang Zhong came out, and he didn't actually say anything. He just asked about the situation there and encouraged him. That's the end.

The big boat can’t ride at this time, the river is too shallow, and the boat is also frozen, and the group can only drive back by carriage. The people of Zhang and Wang’s family want to spend the New Year with their farmers. This year is fast, too. It's a coincidence, don't know what will happen next year

Zhang Zhong, who was sitting in the carriage, hadn't said anything, but his face flushed and he looked very excited.

"Husband, it's not easy to see the emperor?" Zhang Wang who was sitting next to him asked aloud.

Zhang Zhong reacted and said with a smile: "It's not that it's not easy to see the emperor, but I know about Luzhou."

After telling the situation where he was waiting the next day after the people left, Zhang Zhong leaned on the backrest and said nothing. He also listened to the emperor. He didn't know why others were officials, but he was just for the people to live. Good day, got the approval of the people, this time he got it, so he was excited.

After listening to Zhang Wangshi, he was taken aback for a while, sighed, and said: "It's worth it. My husband hasn't helped the people with so many things in vain. It's okay to have a million people watch. Money is not important."

Zhang Zhong nodded, and said nothing, the carriage fell silent for a while.

But Zhang Zhong hadn't waited to digest what he had just heard. When the team arrived in Huayuan County, Zhang Zhong's unconvinced mood agitated again.

I don't know who leaked the wind. The people of Huayuan County already knew that Zhang Zhong was back. When the convoy arrived in Huayuan County after five days, they could no longer move forward. The people had already blocked the front.

Standing in the cold wind one by one, without speaking, they just looked at Zhang Zhong's motorcade.

Zhang Zhong took a look at the driving curtain, a headache, but had to go down and say hello.

The moment they saw Zhang Zhong, the people rushed up and greeted them one by one. Some wanted to ask what it was like in Luzhou, and some were concerned about Zhang Zhong's next step. The local official, even regardless of whether he could offend the current Yaozhou governor, directly persuaded Zhang Zhong to find a way to return to Yaozhou to become governor.

After seeing this scene by people who didn't know the specific situation, they were very puzzled, and they didn't understand why so many people came here.

After some inquiries, the look in Zhang Zhong's eyes became more respectful, and it was easy to be an official, but after leaving, it was not easy to come back for more than a year and still get the support of the people.

In the cold wind, only the people closest to Zhang Zhong could speak, the others were quiet, and the seven or eight-year-old boy was also sensible and silent.

Zhang Zhong had no choice but to find his loudspeaker and shouted to the people around him. It was nothing more than saying that he was very good and that he had a good time in Luzhou, so that everyone did not have to worry. Happy New Year at home, and a good year, but also an early year for the people.

In fact, the people didn’t plan to do anything. They just wanted to see Zhang Zhong. When they saw that Zhang Zhong’s family had nothing to do, they would be relieved. After all, it was cold outside. They saw the four who were suddenly taken home again. The little children said congratulations, and they dispersed.

Zhang Zhong didn't dare to go, nor could he go. He stood on the carriage and watched the people leave one by one. After all the people were gone, he climbed down, got into the car, and roasted his hands on the stove. .

The hands and face were cold, but Zhang Zhong's heart was warm. He knew it was cold. Wouldn't the people be cold after waiting so long

"Husband, did you find that being a good official is better than being a corrupt official? Justice is in your heart." Zhang Wang's eyes were red, and he was obviously moved just now. Even if the emperor comes, it is impossible for so many people to come here. Welcome, unless it is sent out.

But only when his husband returns to the next home, people will wait spontaneously. If this is not a good official, what counts

Zhang Zhong also felt very fulfilled, and sighed: "When I get old, I will tell my grandson, back then..."

"Thanks to this era, when we changed to our time, there were officials who were so loved, then this official would be done, and the love should be given to the leader." Zhang Xiaobao said gratefully.

"How do I find that you always attack the leadership? They are all serving the people, the people's public servants." Wang Juan has heard Zhang Xiaobao's complaints more than once and feels this is not good.

"Pull it down, you don't blush when you say this? I didn't attack anyone, I just told the fact that this era is good, take advantage of the good times, do more for the people, and it is not in vain to walk around the world again .

I plan to take advantage of the New Year’s period to start offering free medical care to the people in Sanshui County and Yaozhou. As long as they are local, they can see a doctor at no cost. "

Zhang Xiaobao also said that it is impossible to discuss more about that with Wang Juan, after all, there are such people in Wang Juan's family.

Wang Juan thought for a while and said, "In fact, it has nothing to do with officials. It is a matter of human nature. It is the people who live in the most strata of society. If you let him become a high official one day, he does not know the suffering of the people? He can be. A good official? Let alone, you want to treat people in one county and one state for free. Where does the money come from

We don't care about the money, but the problem is not how much money we have, but why and how the money is paid. "

"It's simple. It's from the gambling money. We can't control the lottery. But we are responsible for the gambling. We have to contact the local hungry government. The money we earn is used for medical treatment. This is not unusual. In many countries, medical education is free.

What other people can do, why can’t we do it, not only in these two places, but also in Luzhou in the future. Not only the locals are free, but also the foreigners also enjoy free medical care. The wool comes out of the sheep, but a lot of it He knew it, but he had to use the wool from the sheep on his own body instead of on the sheep. As a result, the sheep died and he had no wool to cut. "

Zhang Xiaobao doesn't care about money at all. He is very happy now, he is happy to be born in this era. When doing good deeds, there is little resistance, so small that there is no resistance, as long as you don't make good deeds big and still use your name. That's it.

The money donated to the court, if you don’t emphasize that you have to mention your name, the court will accept it and really use the money on the people. Few people dare to greet the money. It has nothing to do with the law. There is something called morality.

The official who violated the law is nothing more than acting according to the code, but if the moral aspect is revealed by someone, then the official will commit suicide.

"You are still attacking, think about it now." Wang Juan heard it, and Zhang Xiaobao seemed to be very dissatisfied with the people in officialdom.

"How can I not talk about it? Now I want to grow up quickly, and then become the prime minister, and universalize compulsory education throughout the country, starting with four-year-olds and continuing to teach until they are twenty, and then there is free medical care."

Zhang Xiaobao said his dream. He felt that he was great. Greatness is sometimes a kind of belief, which motivates himself to carry on his thoughts.

Wang Juan looked at Zhang Xiaobao for a while and said, "Your goal is good, but everything must be executed by people. Can you ensure that all people do not make any deviations in the process of execution

Also, what did you do for such a long time of education? Just know how to read, after all, not everyone needs to learn a lot. "

"Why not? If I can get a good education since I was young, maybe I can now..."

"You may not be here with me now."

"Then I have to go ahead and spread it to all people. The main reason is that in this way, there are many things that can be passed on, and your understanding is wrong. Knowledge is not to be used immediately, but as a part of life. Accumulation, when you feel that knowing and writing is a very common thing, have you ever thought about the desire of people who don't know

The simplest example is to post a notice, you know the words, look up and glance at it, oh, it turns out that this is the case, you go away, because it has nothing to do with you, but you don't know the words? You don't even know what it says on the notice, you have to ask others.

When you use the simplest method to measure the distance, you may think it is every centimeter and every second, but do you know how many people want to measure how big they are when they don’t know the pain of the method

The sky is blue, because we have all learned that it is caused by the different wavelengths of light, but the people of Datang don’t know. If you don’t explore, you will live happily and ignorantly, but someone really wants to go. When exploring, he will be very distressed, because it involves too much basic knowledge.

Ignorance is not terrible. The terrible thing is that ignorance makes yourself or others lose their lives. At least we know the simple first aid method for carbon monoxide poisoning. You may not use it once in your life, but when you use it, perhaps what you save is a life. .

Knowledge is the common sense summed up by the predecessors. I want to persevere. I must popularize education and add various professions to form a system. "

Zhang Xiaobao has become a little crazy again. Wang Juan has long known about Zhang Xiaobao’s "illness" and nodded: "I actually support you, but what should you do if your future education violates the current people's thinking? I don't want you to be Bruno, Copernicus is very smart."

"This thing is simple. Do you know Buddhism? When people started in India, they weren't as comprehensive as we later knew. They were added little by little by later generations. To what extent, no matter how you question them, they all have it. Reasonable explanation.

Then we can take measures to combine the current thinking with the knowledge we want to teach. The ruling class actually doesn't care about the right or wrong of a thing at all. What they care about is whether they can safeguard their interests.

All religions actually serve the war. It’s just that some people just don’t admit it. People who believe in religions actually understand it well, that is, people who have lost themselves seek external help. People who don’t believe in other people’s religions are because of him. trust yourself.

We give confidence to the ruling class, that is, no matter how we teach, it is enough to defend the ruling class in the end. This is all for the future. Do you think we can be entertained by the dealers when we go back? "

Zhang Xiaobao finally stopped talking about such philosophical and contradictory categories.

Wang Juan nodded happily when he heard Zhang Xiaobao say entertaining, and suddenly shivered with a little fear, and said: "Xiaobao, let's make our own food. I guess we will go back to the original Zhangjiazhuang. It’s roast chicken and smoked chicken. They will definitely let us comment on their craftsmanship. I don’t want to."

"Uh..." Zhang Xiaobao also reacted. Indeed, if he were an ordinary farmer and saw the owner come back, he would also bring out the best smoked chicken he had made.

It's terrible, it's terrible, Zhang Xiaobao can imagine that as long as one tastes roast chicken or smoked chicken made by one family, then other people's products will also have to be tasted.

Yes, it’s not bad to eat one of these things occasionally, but I can’t stand it and eat it all the time.

Zhang Xiaobao's face turned pale after brushing, and he really couldn't imagine the consequences of eating so many chickens.

Wang Juan's face also changed, and he touched Zhang Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, you are the smartest, imagine a way."

"Oh, think, I think about it." Zhang Xiaobao agreed very happily, frowning, as if facing a problem that is more difficult than fraud.

When the team came to the main restaurant of Shuiyunjian Restaurant, the people of Zhang Wang's family who came to Luzhou this time were completely relaxed.

Other places are sealed by ice, but here, you can still see clear water flowing, and a layer of fog on the water completely envelopes the several restaurants connected between the water and clouds.

This kind of scene has nothing to do with the natural world. It is purely thought to be made. First, let people shave ice, then sprinkle salt every day, and then grill it on the water with a charcoal brazier.

So the water is not frozen, there is still mist.

New Year's Eve, the three Zhuangzi of the Zhang family, and the one of the Wang family, all came back to have fun together, which was the case last year.

As soon as the convoy came out, the dealers who had already waited there crowded around. Unlike the people in Huayuan County who asked about this and that, they basically started to lift things down from the car when they said hello.

Not only the dealers of the four Zhuangzis of the Zhangwang Family, but even the Gejiazhuangzhuang owners have come close, and they haven't seen the master of the Zhangwang Family for a long time.

They don’t care much about their Ge family. They are more concerned about the Zhang Wang family. A few days ago, they heard that Zhang Qiu, the dealer of the Zhang family, was beaten, his bones were broken, and a big cut on his leg. The opening is as thick as the waist.

I heard that the person who beat Zhang Qiu was a large family in the south. They were terrified at the time, but then I heard that Zhang Qiu was treated and the whole family who beat Zhang Qiu ran away. The master was still the original master, just as he said on the fifteenth day, illuminating the starry sky together.

Today, you must take a good look, whether the Patriarch of the Zhang family is fat or thin. Well, he is neither fat nor thin. He has turned black. There are also the four little ancestors of the Zhang family, which let the little son and the little lady hug. It's chubby and weird.

Zhang Xiaobao hugged his brother and sister, stood by the car, and looked at his home. He hasn't come back for more than a year, but it feels like a whole century has passed.

The four little guys didn't know if they had a good heart, or if they saw something funny at the same time, they giggled together.

With her drooling mouth, Xiaobei gave Zhang Xiaobao a hard kiss. Zhang Xiaobao was kissed by her sister and couldn't wipe it, so she moved her brother here, rubbing her drool on her face. On my clothes, I have to wash it later anyway.

When a farmer squeezed through the crowd with a plate containing roast chicken in his hand, the family who had been ordered immediately said:

"In order to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, the master family can celebrate the New Year together with the villagers, and the people in the inner courtyard will follow the example together."

"Oh, there are roast chickens, but unfortunately I can't eat them." What Zhang Xiaobao came up with was the strategy mentioned by the inner courtyard population just now. If there is no foresight, the family will be over.
