What happened in Luzhou soon saw five pigeons flying over to the capital city. When the capital city received the news, Li Longji was anxious for the courtiers to discuss matters.
A group of ministers who are not low in status rushed to the Xingqing Palace and discussed this matter. Some talked about fighting, some talked about caressing, and some talked about fighting first and then comforted. There were a few of them, and they said over and over again, It sounds good to find different reasons.
Li Longji listened to what everyone said, but was not satisfied at all. He glanced at Gao Lishi next to him, and Gao Lishi immediately leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, the King Zhang family has always been in charge of over there. Want to ask them?"
"Yes, I need to find Zhang Zhong and ask him how to manage? Punish him." A courtier immediately found a breakthrough.
"What the minister said was to ask the Zhang family how to do it, not to punish anyone." Gao Lishi corrected.
Li Longji felt so, and said: "In that case, send a letter to Luoyang. The Zhang family will be responsible for this matter, and the Luzhou government can be temporarily transferred."
A decree was sent out, and Kuaima brought it to Luoyang. After Zhang Zhong read it, he wrote a letter and sent it to Baoxin County. He couldn't decide on this kind of thing. Ask his son and daughter-in-law.
As a result, this matter was discovered by the three people who hadn’t left yet. They thought that the masters of the Zhang family wanted to test the next two children and leave the family in Luoyang. The three of them took a few guards and rushed towards Baoxin County. , I want to see how Xiaobao and Juanjuan deal with it.
…
"Madam, don't worry, your bull, I'll find someone to have a look right away. I can work with my calf and raise it without killing it."
During this period, Wang Juan handled all the cases in Baoxin County. Whatever should be caught, what should be released, and those who should be educated should also be educated. There are not many things for the people, but a lot of the original Ma County magistrates have been collected. The evidence, forcing people to give money, owed the bill when I went to the restaurant to eat, but didn't give the money, etc., anyway, there are no major things that killed people, but a lot of minor things.
Wang Juan was not in a hurry and immediately arrested the Ma county magistrate. She didn’t have this right. She needed to send documents to the Fuzhong first. However, considering Ma’s county magistrate should be taken care of by someone in the state, she collected the evidence of the crime first, and she and Zhang Xiaobao Write down the booklet and send it to Luoyang, ready to use it again.
In the yamen, things disappeared for a while. As long as the criminals were not the crime of decapitation, Wang Juan would let people watch to dig wells and reform through labor. They could not eat for nothing after being locked up.
The officials were also cleaned up. Those who made big mistakes in the past also dig wells and deprived them of the identity of the officials. If the mistakes were small, they needed to compensate the victims. Looking at the prisoners who dig wells in the past, Wang Juan told the officials. , If you make a mistake again, it is not only as simple as closing it, nor as easy as depriving the position, you can figure it out by yourself.
The yamen have been honest, and as a result, the yamen who stayed in the yamen are only three people who do not cause trouble. They don’t have to help catch pigs and chickens occasionally like the yamen in Sanshui County, mainly for praise. The people of Xinxian County are not used to letting Yamen help.
In the past, the people in the neighbourhood did not let the cute little girl, the cuckoo, get tired. They all solved it by themselves. Today, an old woman in her fifties found the yamen. She heard the drum and knocked on the drum before she came in. Said to Wang Juan that she had no choice but to come over, not deliberately making trouble, because the family's calf shank was chopped, and she couldn't do work.
Wang Juan asked people to take a stool for the "old man" to sit on, and she did not stay on it, she moved a small horse to sit in front of the old man, and took the old man's hand to comfort.
After listening to Wang Juan's words, the old man touched Wang Juan's little hand and said, "My son, my cows really don't need to be killed? Don't you need to pay for compensation?"
"No, ma'am, it's just that my calf was split, and it wasn't completely broken. There is a doctor who came with me. Go and see. It will be fine to put on a board and raise it for a period of time. Isn't the madam worried that there will be no cattle to cultivate the land?"
Wang Juan takes this matter very seriously. She knows that things that don’t matter to her are a big deal for the people. If you do it well, your family can live a normal life. If you don’t do it well, you may have to More poverty.
"Yes, or the child knows that there is only one cow in the house. How can the land be cultivated without it? My old man died as a soldier before, and his son became ill again. Only me and my daughter-in-law are the only ones in the house, plus a ten. For a two-year-old girl, life can't be passed."
The old man started crying as he spoke, looking very sad.
Wang Juan also took a deep breath and said, "Mother, don't worry, the cows can't plow the land right away. I'll find someone to plow for you. Cheng Er, come over, and find two offenders in the well digging place, and go to the aunt's house. Help plow the land, use a whip when the plowing is not good, when the plowing is finished, when to dig the well, if other people's land is cultivated, and the aunt's family is not finished, then I will plug them into the well."
Cheng Er is a government servant. He clearly knows that the new county prime minister shouldn't do this, but he doesn't object to it. He can't control it. People rely on Shanda and promise to run out, ready to find his most insignificant person. This is also a public revenge. .
The old man was happy this time. He touched Wang Juan's hand and said, "My child, you are a good child. It's a pity that I don't have a grandson in my family, otherwise he must marry you."
After finishing this sentence, the old man realized that even if he has a grandson, he is not worthy of other cuckoos. That's a high level. Besides, there is a master book. Seeing the appearance of the two children, you know that they are a couple. So he quickly changed his words. Said:
"The granddaughter at home has nothing to do, so it's better to send it to Yamen to give you a hand. Don't look at the granddaughter, she is only twelve years old, but she can do everything, wash clothes, cook, and raise them. People in the neighborhood always boast. ."
How could Wang Juan agree that Zhang Xiaobao’s food at home is now cooked. She doesn’t think that the daughters of the auntie’s family can be better than Zhang Xiaobao’s. As for washing clothes, she has led a small river by the side and the washing machine is installed, who Rubbing with hands, not to mention the aunt's family is not easy. There are four people in total, and one of them is sick and unable to work.
The three women supported one home. Thinking about it, you know how difficult it is. Even if someone always says that women are strong, no matter how strong they are, they are not as effective as multiple men in the family. Enough, when the spring ploughing is over, I will let Xiaobao think of a way to give your family more income. I can't live this way."
"Okay, good boy, now my granddaughter can do things, so why don't you wash the clothes for the yamen, there is Chen Liang in the yamen, just give me some."
The old man was really terrified, worried that Wang Juan would forget later, so Wang Juan would arrange something to do.
Wang Juan thought for a while and promised: "Alright, aunty, I will let my sister come over to do things tomorrow. I will definitely not lose your family. I will find a doctor to show my uncle. If it can be cured, I will treat it, but The money for this medicine has to be paid back slowly after uncle can work."
"Okay, then I will go back and cook for the people who come to help with the work." The old man felt relieved, touched the place on his chest, and was about to leave.
"Auntie, you don't need to cook, you cook your own food, their rice clerk is in charge, aunty, is there no food at home? Don't be a thing, get some back from the yamen, and I will think of a way."
Wang Juan knew what was going on at a glance. The auntie wanted to be something for food, and her chest was bulging. She should put something that could be used, and quickly stopped it.
The yaman next to him was sensible and immediately went to get food. Soon, a small wooden pot of food was brought over. It was about ten kilograms, enough for a family of four to eat for a few days.
The old man waved his hand quickly, "There are too many babies. Half, half of them will be enough to eat for half a month. Dig some wild vegetables and poke them inside. It's delicious."
"Mother, don't say anything, go get some more salt and oil." Wang Juan is the last thing he wants to see.
After ordering the servants to fetch things, he shouted vigorously to the back of the hall: "Little treasure, come out for me and find a way."
Zhang Xiaobao wandered out from behind. He heard everything just now, but he is not to blame. The two have just taken office and have not had time to do anything. The future arrangements are still being prepared. There must be some time. How can it be one? All the problems must be solved when they come, and that's really a god.
"Oh, I can help one family. Can you take care of all the families now?" Zhang Xiaobao meant to let go first.
"Helping a family is a family, quickly talk about the way."
"Okay, think of a way, like this, madam, anyway, you have nothing to do. Let your daughter-in-law go to cultivate the land. Your granddaughter comes to the yamen. How about you, help with publicity? Give you five cents a day, you I’m responsible for picking up a kettle and looking for someone to chat, but I can’t just stare at the house and walk around in the street, and talk to people I know."
Seeing Wang Juan's urging, Zhang Xiaobao had to come up with a solution first.
The old man did not understand, "Give me money for gossip? No, this is not for me? I have hands and feet, so I can't get the benefits for nothing."
"Useful and useful. What you talk about needs to be what we said. Just tell others that after spring plowing, the county needs to occupy a very good place, especially next to the main road, so that everyone has a preparation. When the time comes, you have to move, and the county will give you money, so you can figure out where to build a new house.
You have to use wood to build a house, and you must have less manpower. Make a plan in advance. Don’t wait for the yamen to forcibly demolish the house. I will give you a place. The residents around such a place have to leave. Those who live now, to At that time, the compensation provided by the yamen would be very large, at least it would be enough to build a better house.
If anyone refuses to let the place by then, the yamen will force people out and destroy the house. We don’t want to get there. Besides, for those who take the initiative to move out at that time, the yamen will arrange new jobs and make money. Kind. "
Zhang Xiaobao is going to make the next plan. The people need to move to another place. He can use administrative means to solve it directly. There are no nail households yet. The people are honest, but some people love home and need someone to persuade them in advance.
Of course, there is definitely a lot of compensation. It is impossible for you to demolish the old house and find that it is not enough to build a new house after the compensation.
The old man is not too stupid. After listening to Zhang Xiaobao’s words, he nodded and promised, "I understand, I understand. Actually, I don’t need to talk about it. As soon as you two show up, everyone is willing to help you. I’ll find someone to say when I go back. Especially old men and old ladies, they are willing to move if they say it is, five articles a day, isn't it too much?"
"Not much, madam, you have to know that what you do is also very hard. Persuading others is the most difficult. That's it, five articles a day." Zhang Xiaobao set the price and smiled with Wang Juan to send the old man away from the yamen.
When the old man walked away, Wang Juan looked back at Zhang Xiaobao, smiled sweetly, and said: "Xiaobao, you are really extraordinary. Let you make an idea. You don't have to wait at all. Just open your mouth. I now agree with you to pursue me. La."
"Thank you, I am very honored." What else can Zhang Xiaobao say? Look carefully at Wang Juan, or a girl, what do you pursue
"Little son, little lady, it's okay, big things are okay, news came from Luzhou. Someone sent it from Luoyang just now, and the master said that it is a hundred thousand in a hurry. Look at this letter, there are three chicken feathers stuck in it. ."
Just as Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao were about to say something intimate, Er Niu rushed in, holding a letter in their hands, and shouting vigorously.
Wang Juan took the letter, opened it and saw it from the beginning, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "The locals of Luzon have united and started attacking our people. What do you think?"
Zhang Xiaobao didn’t read the letter. He only heard Wang Juan’s words to get the general idea. He thought about it and said, “The people there also know how to unite? Did the person in the letter repelling them several attacks? But they have more people united?"
"Well, it was written like this. In the end, our people shrank the line of defense, which stabilized the place, but the local people no longer helped. Luzhou wanted to send troops to suppress it and asked us how to arrange it."
Wang Juan raised the letter in his hand and nodded in acknowledgment.
"How do you think this kind of thing happened? Is it true that the local people are really so united? Or is the things we exchanged for them not good enough?" Zhang Xiaobao stood at the gate, looking up at the sky.
Wang Juan blinked, "I think it is definitely not that simple behind this matter. Is a certain businessman from Datang supporting it?"
"No, no merchant dares to do this. The coastal generation is our world. Even if he drives other people away, he can't bring the goods back. If no one else can trade, only he can trade. What do you think everyone will do? Think? Did he forget my harsh methods?"
Zhang Xiaobao didn't believe that someone from Zhejiang Merchants was making trouble, and they could not take their courage.
"What's going on? I don't think that there is no one behind them, so they can unite together." Wang Juan can fight wars, but this kind of invisible conspiracy is bad, unless she can give her more information. Make judgments.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said, "No matter who he is behind making trouble, right? There are pigeons from Luzhou in Luoyang? Send the letter and ask all the people on the island to withdraw back. If no one stays, the merchant will temporarily stop trading and tell them. , Don’t worry about the loss, it will be compensated later.
At the same time, more patrol boats were sent to me around Luzon Island. Any boats that appeared around after receiving the order were sunk. No matter who he is, even if he is carrying a dragon flag, he can’t do it. There will be new news in the last two months. "
Zhang Xiaobao also didn’t know who was making trouble behind him. Since he couldn’t figure it out right away, he just waited. The people on the island have become accustomed to the good things sent by Datang. If you mess up yourself first, you can know who wants to go by patrolling around the island.
Wang Juan picked up the letter and went back to write a reply, "I have to do this and force them to show up. What if they want to negotiate with us?"
"Then use the gunboat to talk to them." Zhang Xiaobao was ready to kill.
Wang Juan wrote the letter and asked Er Niu to send it to the person who reported it. The news soon reached Luoyang.
As soon as Zhang Zhong saw the letter, he immediately passed it on to Luzhou with pigeons, and at the same time wrote another thing and sent it to the capital, directly to Gao Lishi, telling him how the situation was.
It took only three days for Jingcheng to get the news, and Gao Lishi happily came to Li Longji with a letter.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Luoyang. Zhang Zhong said that the matter was handed over to Xiaobao and Juanjuan. The two little guys told the people from Luzhou to evacuate and used patrol boats to patrol the island, saying that it would not take too long. , The matter can be resolved."
Gao Lishi now has a clear identity, Zhang Xiaobao's godfather, as long as it involves Zhang Xiaobao, he will pay attention.
Li Longji really did not expect that it was not to send troops to directly suppress it, nor to pacify by gentle means. It turned out to be a retreat. After thinking about it, he suddenly became clear and said to Gao Lishi: "Your little treasure is really good, this is a way to retreat. In order to make progress, good, the flexibility of the strategy is hard to see, yes."
"Your Majesty is praising it, my son Xiaobao is a little clever, he can't take it seriously, he can't take it seriously." Gao Lishi's face blushed with excitement, and he had to be humble.
"Since Zhang Zhong has arranged for someone to do it, don't worry about it here to see what the reason is." Li Longji didn't have much time to deal with such a thing, Zhang Family took over, and let them go. Get it right, it's still the same as before. If it doesn't get it done, his family is naturally anxious.
"Yes, your majesty, the ministers go to do other things." Gao Lishi agreed and left this place again. He wanted to write to his son, first boasting.
Looking at the figure of Gao Lishi when he was leaving, Li Longji shook his head helplessly. He found that since Gao Lishi had recognized Zhang Xiaobao as a son, he had been busy all day long without knowing it.
…
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sent the letter out, and began to work on spring plowing again. Wells were dug out, and the people were not short of water. Although it was tiring to use manpower to irrigate them, the people didn’t care and just had water.
In addition to the small river here, there is no problem with spring ploughing in Baoxin County. Zhang Xiaobao is ready to take the next step, planting things that are usually eaten by herbivores on bad local land. When the zoo in Beijing opens, here Things are almost ready, transported to the capital to exchange money, subsidize the local finances and provide a new way for local businessmen who previously paid for digging wells.
Just when the two people were checking the land conditions, the new county magistrate was finally overdue. It was a big ostentation. The broken carts were filled with things, and there was no dung bag behind the broken animals pulling the carts. Just go all the way.
There is no one behind this county magistrate. He also passed the imperial examinations in the past. He was poor at home but finally got out of his head. But when he saw that other people had money in their homes, he moved to think about it and made his own home well. .
It turned out to be a county magistrate in Xia County. Later, when he arrived at Kaiyuan, he thought he would be able to ascend, but after that time, he returned to Xia County. He still couldn't do this year’s assessment. He thought the court would remove him. When he arrived, he didn't expect him to come to a Zhongxian, or a Zhongxian not far from Luoyang.
This made him feel that the time has come, and with all his things, he hurried to Baoxin County from the remote Xia County.
"Master, the front is the county seat of Baoxin County, look at the wall." The butler of the new county magistrate said to the master when the team arrived outside the county seat.
This housekeeper is pretty good, he is well-rounded, and he is neither fat nor thin. It feels like a face of righteousness. If it wasn't for the place where he had stayed with the master before, the people would call him "Pulling Wings", then It really makes people think that he is a good person.
The new county magistrate has the same surname as He, and the butler followed his surname, He Yiwei, a good name. At this time, he also saw the city wall in front. Although it was not comparable to the walls of the capital, it was compared to the one he had stayed before. The place is still much stronger.
When the housekeeper said, there was a smile on his face, and he walked forward with a big belly, and said: "Here is our place in the future. Please ask me about the business in the county."
"Yes, sir, I'm going to find out now, sir, did you say that you would be embarrassed by the people below when you took office?" At that time, he was just a knife and penman, mainly because his ranking was too low.
But so what? Through contact with others, the master took away the original master book bit by bit, and then partnered with the county magistrate to take away the county magistrate, and finally became the magistrate, the original county magistrate also Go home to farm.
In terms of methods, it is estimated that no one is the opponent of the master, let alone the high-level people to clean up the low-level people.
He Yiwei smiled confidently, "What? Do you think there are people who can deal with me? Who is really capable of going to this middle county to become an official? Go and tell the county middle school that I'm here."
"Master said, I will arrange for someone to go." The butler found two people over, and after a few instructions, they rode on the two broken horses and ran towards the Yamen.
As a result, as soon as the two people arrived on the main street, they were stopped. One of the government officials waved the stick in his hand and shouted: "Who? Who dares to ride a horse in the street? Come down."
Two people didn't call any urgent reports, so naturally they couldn't let them run like this. What if they bump into someone? There was no official when it was replaced before, but now it's different.
"I'm the family of the newcomer county magistrate, why don't you report it soon? Get out of the way." One of the people immediately stopped, but did not dismount, and said arrogantly while sitting on the horse.
"Get me down, what about the county magistrate?" The bureaucrat didn't care about those, and stabbed the man immediately with a stick.
