When the donkey cart was on again, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan drove much faster. The little donkey was not too vigorous. It pulled the three people and ran forward. The bumps in the car were about to disperse.
Since it is not a critical place, nor is it prosperous, there is no big river next to it, and the road here is only as wide as two cars, and sometimes only one car can be passed. It is pitted, and you can see traces of repairs, but The repair is not good.
Wang Juan is in charge, and the county chief is to work with the county magistrate. When the road is bad, he asks the driver, "Old man, should the road be repaired? When I go to the place, I will discuss with a local businessman, and the family will get some points."
"Cuckoo, ah, no, Wangxian Cheng, I said it’s bad again. You don’t need to rush to build roads. Life is easy. We need wider and flatter roads. Everyone will build them by themselves, but there’s no hope for the days. Who will build the roads? what?"
The driver has confirmed that the two boys are here to become officials, so the title has to be changed, but when talking to the two boys, they are not as scared as when they met officials before, so they dare to speak.
"Old man, you don’t need to call the princes one by one, just call the cuckoo. If the official is good or not, the people will remember it in their hearts. It’s not just what the old man said is not bad. Teachable."
Wang Juan had to work hard to be a good official and realize the value of life. She didn’t care about calling. She still remembered that when she checked an official, she passed by a small county to rest. The people in the county were called the county elder and turtle. The movement of neck-shrinking, the local organization of raising turtles, let the people live well.
It sounds insulting, but the county magistrate of Lao Bie always agrees, but if someone makes trouble for him, just wait for the people of the county to besieged, and the secretary of the county party committee and the people will be called one by one, but he If you are famous and have no right, you don't listen to him.
Wang Juan wanted to be an official remembered by the people.
"Yes, it's not called the county magistrate, the county magistrate is not as good as the county magistrate. When you become the magistrate, you will call it again, Juanjuan, here is really not bad. There is no big river passing by, there is only a small river. When it’s almost time for spring plowing, if you can get more water, everyone’s life will be better."
The driver misunderstood, thinking that Wang Juan felt that Guan Xiao didn't want to listen to others. I didn't know that Wang Juan also had a second-grade casual official who promised not to be called Xian Cheng and talked about the lack of water.
"Xiaobao." Wang Juan yelled after hearing the driver's words.
Zhang Xiaobao was wondering whether to promote the new bookkeeping method among the local merchants with stalls, and when he encountered resistance and difficulties, he was awakened.
"I am the master book, so I don’t need to find me for digging wells. Let the merchants pay to dig wells. Whoever pays the well will engrave the well’s name, and list a list of good deeds in front of the office. For those on the list, the yamen will send a pennant as a commendation. This does not violate the law, right?"
Zhang Xiaobao said nothing but said the method.
"Infringement, at least the impeachment government will collude with self-interest. It is easy for someone to come down and check it, and your master book has the power to play again. A good way is to draw water from other rivers. The amount of work is too large and the initial investment is too much. Just repair the well. What do you think of the old man?"
Wang Juan knew that such small things were not difficult for Zhang Xiaobao, and the merchants would take the initiative to do it, and it would not cost much to dig a well.
The driver of the car had lived to such an old age. It was the first time that he heard the officials discuss the government affairs, and he felt very agile. Just when he proposed it, the solution was available. It sounded good. I don't know if there are any businessmen willing to pay.
Seeing Wang Juan asked, he said: "The rich are willing to pay?"
"Naturally, let alone give them a reputation, just don't give them anything, you have to take out the money if you ask them directly, even if I don't want to use the name of the family, Shui Yunjian is there."
Wang Juan is very sure about this. The advantage of reputation is this. He is a public figure. Of course, he also needs to maintain his image when he gets the benefits.
The driver thought about it a little and said: "There are really many wells. Juanjuan and Xiaobao are great benefactors of Baoxin County, and they will give you strength for longevity."
"Don't, it's the saint who is dedicated to the people. As a courtier, I take it for myself." Wang Juan hurriedly stopped.
In the evening, the donkey cart came to the county seat. The county seat of Baoxin County does not have a tall city wall, but only a two-foot-high city wall. Withered and green with hints of green.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn’t want to handover today. The two of them were too tired. They had to check the warehouse, and they had to look at the previous accounts and copywriting. Even at the Yamen, they don’t want to complete the handover today. Wang Juan said to the driver: " Old man, Xiaobao and I will find an inn to live in. You can go home, and the car will not be paid to you. Today, I would like to thank the old man for the ride. After we settle down, we will invite the old man to be a guest."
"What money can I give you two? I asked for it in my previous life. I want to go to the inn and go straight along this road for about four hundred steps. There is a sheltered pavilion on the left. It is clean. Sending firewood knows that the food tastes good to others, oh, it’s not as good as water and clouds, you will just get off."
The driver was happy. Now I have something to say to my family. Pointing to the front, telling Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, watching the two of them go there all the way to look around, then they touched the donkey, squinted their eyes, and muttered. Said: "Good day is here."
Swinging the whip to make a sound, and turning around to leave the city, his home wouldn't live in the city at all, and it would take more than half an hour to get home.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan actually knew that the old man’s house did not live in the city, and how to collect firewood in the city, but they didn’t talk about it. They inherited the old man’s special sentiment. The complexion of the passing pedestrians finally stopped in front of the Fengwu Pavilion.
As the car driver said, the place is really clean. It should be painted again when the winter is over. The two-story wooden building, red pillars, and a road leading to the back are next to it for storing vehicles and marking. Leave the yard to live in.
The guy standing at the door had seen the two long and handsome babies who had come over early. He was looking around and saw the two babies standing in front of the shop, hurriedly greeted them, and asked with a smile: "Little son, little lady, are eating. ?"
"Well, I still have to live in a store, find a good courtyard, stay long, and don’t charge cashiers?" Zhang Xiaobao usually takes charge of dealing with people outside, and Wang Juan will stand behind him silently and support, so it’s up to him to take it out. A silver lump is held in the hand.
This is for fear that the dude thinks that they have no money to give, and it will be too much trouble.
The guy immediately responded: "The two, please come with the little ones. There is a set of upper courts. They are idle. You can live as many days as you want. The money is collected. It is money. Even if the gold is exchanged for the two."
Zhang Xiaobao took out a few copper coins and gave it to the guy. After the guy thanked him, he went behind him, walked through the front hall, circled two pillars, and went out through the other door, and he saw the courtyard. The other entrance behind this entrance actually built a two-story building, which is probably the best upper yard.
Sure enough, the guy led to that side, and asked what to avoid when eating, what he usually likes, so that he won't make mistakes when he waits for him.
Zhang Xiaobao will eat anything at will. There is no taboo, and there are many things he likes. You can do whatever you want. It is easy to talk, otherwise what else can be done. It is true that you can’t do it in ordinary places, unless you encounter Shuiyunjian. Such a restaurant.
When he came to the upper courtyard, Zhang Xiaobao was still satisfied. In the courtyard there is a big saccharine tree that has not yet bloomed. There is a swing hanging on the branch that extends across the tree. Ten steps east of the tree is a small pond, reflecting the red of the setting sun. Ripple gently when the breeze blows.
There is also a flowerbed in the yard. Others have rested and repaired, but there is no residual flowers and leaves. The wet soil is probably not long after being turned over. The main road of the stone edge is paved with yellow sand.
This kind of courtyard is pretty good, but Zhang Xiaobao felt that the "consumption" he had just given was less, so he took out more than a dozen yuan and handed it to the guy and asked: "Can I exchange money here?"
"Yes, not only silver can be exchanged, but also gold can be exchanged. If there is flying money from the east of Beijing and other prosperous places, as long as it is true, our shop will also accept it." The guy happily replied before accepting People underestimated.
"Well, let's serve some signature dishes first. The same goes for wine and hot water in a barrel." Zhang Xiaobao did not continue to inquire, but gave orders, and walked to the small building with Wang Juan.
As soon as I entered the building, the layout inside was not bad. I took a look at the "bedroom". They were all 80% new and clean brocade bedding. No wonder the price was so expensive when I asked just now. Don't even think about it if you don't have money for a day.
After Wang Juan looked at it, he asked Zhang Xiaobao: "How can I exchange gold in the store? Is it to use jewelry for other art? Fengwu Pavilion also operates other stores?"
"I don't know. Ask when you are done. When Xiaohong and the others arrive, they will gather information, take a bath later, go to bed early after eating, and take over tomorrow. Hurry up and arrange things for Jing."
Zhang Xiaobao was obviously tired, stretched and said.
An hour later, when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had a meal, Pomegranate and other talents rushed to the place and asked which restaurant in the county was good. They went straight to Fengwu Pavilion and used a dozen yuan to find out the courtyard of the little boy and the little lady. Squeeze in.
Let Zhang Xiaobao complain, saying that Fengwu Pavilion does not keep guests confidential.
…
The next morning, the sky was clear.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan put on purple official uniforms and prepared to go to the Yamen to "check in". The two of them deliberately wore them to the people in the Yamen and the people. The goldfish bags were also hung up, holding hands and dangling out.
The man was taken aback, the store actually lived in a second- and third-grade official, or two children from Liyuan
Zhang Xiaobao and Zhang Xiaobao arrived on the street. Behind them were the Gaolishi guards. The knives were on their shoulders, the crossbows were also on their backs, and the pomegranate group was not small.
The people who came and went clearly saw the two children in official uniforms swaying in front, stopping and watching, the more people crowded around.
It’s fun. Two cute little guys are more interesting in official uniforms. Like little adults, how much does this suit cost
Someone couldn’t help but said it and asked if the clothes were expensive. When they heard about Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, they were depressed. , No matter what else, Xiao Li is too stingy.
Without going too far, just a few hundred steps, the Yamen of Baoxin County appeared in front of them, and the officials and officials in the Yamen ran out to greet them.
