Feng Changgong didn't say anything when he heard Wang Juan's last question. He also knew who Tongan County would listen to.
He didn't say anything, but Wang Juan didn't plan to let it go, and said worriedly: "Oh, county magistrate Feng, you are also the county magistrate here. Wouldn't you let others come to build the workshop, right? For the workshop, don’t transport things from Baoxin County. If you don’t transport things, you don’t need to lead the river."
If Feng Changgong didn't listen to Wang Juan talking about this matter today, he might not have been able to think that the workshop was built to draw the river. He had been thinking about how to calculate Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan for the past two days.
As soon as Wang Juan was reminded at this time, he was thinking about it, shouldn't he stop it
As soon as the idea appeared, he was severely squeezed out by himself. It was absolutely impossible, and it was no different from seeking death. If you really did it, let alone others, even the backing behind it would be unreliable. Maybe it would be the first to clean up. Own.
On purpose, Wang Juan did it on purpose.
Feng Changgong thought about this, and when he looked at Wang Juan, he smiled and said: "Wangxian Cheng is kind of thinking, but unfortunately, the official didn't say anything that can't be taken to Baoxian. If you have the ability, you can quote it. ."
"Then let you see, I'll fix the water." Wang Juan looked angry.
Feng Changgong wasn't in the mood to eat fish by the river either, so he turned and left with a cold snort, and broke up with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
After Feng Changgong took the people away, the old man realized that Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan and Feng County magistrate were not so harmonious. They seemed to be enemies.
"Wang family girl, this Feng county magistrate is not easy. In the past, someone from the state government wanted to clean him up, but he did it. Be careful."
The old man kindly reminded Wang Juan.
"I know, thank you, grandpa. Is that grandpa willing to help look at the place?" Wang Juan really didn't go to inquire about Feng Changgong in detail, because he was not well-known and had never heard of this number. Into the ranks of unconcerned.
The old man did not hesitate this time, nodded and promised, "Okay, I will go to the old man when the time comes. My family lives in the county seat, behind Shengrong Mihang. My surname is Lu. You can find out as soon as you inquire about it. Who am I, old man Lu who is fishing, hehe."
After speaking, the old man was going to leave, but he caught too many fish today, which seemed very difficult.
Wang Juan waved to the bush not far away, and suddenly two people appeared over there. The old man was taken aback by surprise. He never knew that there was someone hidden in the bush.
"Send grandpa home, just to recognize the door." Wang Juan commanded, and the two people helped lift the old man's fish. The old man had not forgotten to give Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan the three-pound fish, along with the two guards. Talking and walking back, it is estimated that you will have to apply in the afternoon when you get home.
The old man left, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not ready to continue to look at the terrain. They looked at each other and walked towards a house next to them, planning to go to someone’s house to borrow the kitchen to make the fish, and buy some other things by the way. To deal with a meal, the guards will find something to eat on their own, so there is no need to worry about it.
Maybe it’s because the fish is really delicious, or maybe it’s been a long time that I haven’t eaten such simple braised fish. I feel nostalgic. Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao both feel delicious after eating, and they invited the four of them to eat together. He also bought two dishes with the robbed copper coins, and all six of them were very happy.
The woman who ate at the restaurant kept exaggerating that Xiaobao was good at craftsmanship, and she didn't forget to tell Wang Juan to let her cook more in the future, not to let men cook, and it's okay to have an occasional meal.
"Xiaobao, I think it is impossible for Feng Changgong to stop Li Xun." On the way back, Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao.
"Do you really think he is stupid? I guess he is thinking about how to take credit. It's useless. When I get back, I will go to the official post and enter Beijing."
Zhang Xiaobao didn't expect Feng Chang to do anything about it. If that were the case, it would save a lot of trouble.
"Then I have to deal with his strategy now. It works. Now I have to use curses to heal diseases. I believe it from top to bottom. I guess it won't be reversed."
Wang Juan thought that Feng Changgong's strategy would be difficult to break, and waiting for Feng Changgong to find another Taoist priest to come here to put on a costume will convince the people even more.
Zhang Xiaobao said disapprovingly: "Don't forget what I do, as there is a saying, the best way to deal with cavalry is cavalry. Let's do it like this. It's better than what he played, such as in the belly of a fish. Suddenly I found a piece of oiled paper with words on it. There are many ways to go back and help me figure out a few."
"You're too bad, okay, just do it like this, and make more bluffing things." Wang Juan felt confident now, and thought it was a very interesting thing.
As soon as the two of them returned to the county, Zhang Xiaobao began to write letters, and they were taken back to be stamped and sent to the capital through official channels.
This time it is not a private letter, it must be done through a formal channel, otherwise it will fail to achieve the goal.
…
Before Li Xun knew it, many people came from Xincai County, and under his banner, they started to do what the storyteller said.
When the people are ready, it is equivalent to the King of Ann investing money. Anyone who planted soybeans will receive sesame seeds. Anyone who has idlers at home will pick up chickens and piglets. Craftsmen will also gather by the river and wait. Just order it and start work.
Feng Changgong has also been busy following up and down the past few days, going to the riverside every day to see the progress of the project, and said two words of encouragement, as if it was his relationship that the King Tongan came to "invest".
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn’t even go back to the county. They lived directly by the river. They followed Old Man Lu next to him. They looked at the atmosphere in the morning, afternoon and evening. They also explained the mystery to Zhang Xiaobao. They didn’t understand it. It won't work.
On the ninth day of the start of Rushui, Xincai County ushered in the most important figure, Li Xun.
Li Xun did not take a boat at all, but came here on horseback. He also raised pigeons in Shuzhou. Last month, he sent someone to Baoxin County to send Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to Baoxin County. He can't run casually. He is preparing to spend some time going back to the capital to go on a blind date. He doesn't know what the person is looking for. First, go and see. If there is too much difference, he will consult Zhang Xiaobao to discuss countermeasures.
When Xincai County reported that he was coming to invest, Zhang Xiaobao sent him a letter with a pigeon. He was itchy in his heart and didn’t want to stay in Shuzhou. So he ran over with this excuse and brought six hundred guards. The land appeared on the banks of Rushui River.
When they arrived just in time for noon, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan ate with everyone on the construction site. They followed the usual style, and everyone who worked had good food and drink.
Yesterday, I ate two dishes and one soup. Today there is only one soup. The staple food and vegetables are put together. The soup is made of steamed meat and lamb. The soup is fish soup.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan specially selected lean meat and stuffed them into the pie, and they shuddered as they watched others stuff a large piece of mutton oil in.
When Li Xun arrived, the two of them had just ordered a few mouthfuls. They didn't drink the soup or tasted it. They all said that the lamb and fish were fresh together. They didn't feel it. They only felt it fishy, so putting more chopped green onion and coriander would not work.
"Haha, Roujiamo, okay, give me a portion, no coriander, more chopped green onions, I haven't eaten it for a long time there, you eat it yourself, don't wait for someone to wait."
Li Xun’s arrival surprised others, but couldn’t move Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. The two were still eating, and Li Xun approached the cook who specializes in “serving” people. A hundred people shouted.
Suddenly there were six hundred more people, and the cook had to do it right away. This is the man of the county prince.
If you switch to the chefs of the Zhang Wang family, you won’t be so nervous. I always met before. The chefs here were found locally. When I saw Li Xun, he was excited and stuffed him with a large piece of mutton, and there were lots of chopped green onions. Put it, the coriander was not too small, and Li Xun politely received it, and gave it to the person who was following him as soon as he turned around.
"You eat, make up more, don't hang around in front of me, Xiaobao and the cuckoo are here."
Ordering the guards, Li Xun had no choice but to do it himself, lamenting that the temporary cooks in Xincai County couldn't keep up with the professional chefs of Zhang and Wang's family.
"Have some pickles?" Zhang Xiaobao pushed the only plate of pickles in front of him and Wang Juan to Li Xun. They were acquaintances, so you don't have to speak so politely.
"En, eat." After taking a bite of the cake, Li Xun saw that there were no pickles in front of others. He knew that this was brought by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. It must be good. Maybe it was the pickles made by Zhang Xiaobao himself and he hadn't tasted it for months.
The news of Li Xun's arrival spread quickly, and the people inquired one after another. When they knew that the Prince Tongan was also eating with the people on the construction site, they had a more favorable impression of Li Xun in their hearts.
Li Xun was not afraid of fishy when he was eating a steamed bun. Li Xun also drank half a bowl of fish soup. When making another steamed bun, he said to Zhang Xiaobao, “I’m not afraid of doing something wrong and hurting me. Here Without donkey meat, how did the donkey meat you asked me to eat last time feel better than today's mutton?"
"I just want to hurt you, don't beat you in vain, divide it for you, wait until the weather is hot, you will also have a business, help me promote the meat with plums, I only need 10% dry shares, the donkey meat clamp you ate last time I made the bun, and the mutton I ate today was made by casually looking for a local cook to serve as a cook.
I want to eat donkey meat. I am afraid that the donkeys in the county will not be enough to kill. The people who have donkeys are looking for me desperately. If you have the ability to kill a few cows, you will eat braised beef for the people on the construction site tomorrow. "
While Zhang Xiaobao was talking, Wang Juan took out two tin cans of pickles from his bag, pointed to one of them, and said to Li Xun:
"This is a bean made from Meicai. There are diced beef in it. I didn't intentionally kill a strong cow, and I couldn't bear it. It's not an old cow who has been farming for a lifetime. Try it. The other is canned food and I will give it to you I’ve been, this can is the canned pork meat you want to make."
Li Xun didn’t wait for Wang Juan to help him, so he started by himself. He opened the can first, sniffed it twice carefully, and nodded: “Fragrant, you sent me three hundred cans last time, myself. After eating more than a dozen, the others will be rewarded to well-trained guards, not to mention giving more points."
"That is three hundred canned elbows, or front elbows. The quantity is large and there is no adulteration. Two front elbows can make four cans. Next time you give me a thousand pigs, I will pay you five thousand. A can, did you write the fold that you asked you to write?"
Zhang Xiaobao didn't lie. The canned food was really pig elbow. Don’t look down on it. Once the canned food is made, it will be very wasteful. , But the real "military industry product."
"I have written it. It is estimated that I will be in the capital soon. There are 5,000 pigs. No problem. You can't think of how many poultry and livestock there are in Shuzhou now. The people raise them well. They said that I am a good county king. Give me a gift. , I can't even eat it, and the rest of the pork will make me bacon.
The chicken is also air-dried. Next time it’s a holiday, the people will give it to you. I’ll give you half. The canned food can be made larger. Five thousand will be fine. I don’t care. Yes, the people of Wangjiang built a big house for you on the riverside. It has four floors and is made of wood. The bottom is big and the top is small. It is named Xueen Ge.
I guess that when I went there and said two nasty things about Wang Juan, the people would be able to rush over and beat me to death. I was so jealous of me. What kind of officials did you make me speak ill? I haven't even seen it before, so I'll help you, and tell me how you can compensate me. "
Li Xun was finally not used as his own princess, and he was very relaxed in front of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, talking excitedly.
…
It is noon in Xincai, and it is also noon in Beijing.
The officials are also eating, but today some people are in a bad mood and have no appetite for eating anything. Two of them showed the most obvious manifestations.
One is Zhang Jiuling and the other is Zhang Shuo.
Zhang Xiaobao's memorial was delivered, and when I arrived today, the official post was slow, far worse than the pigeon.
Zhang Jiuling saw the memorial, and Zhang said he saw it. It’s hard for Zhang Xiaobao to see the memorial through regular channels. This is the first time Zhang Xiaobao has used the official status to write a memorial. Everyone is very curious. What is it that keeps Zhang Xiaobao from flying pigeons? Up.
As a result, I looked at the memorial, which was written by Zhang Xiaobao on the joint affairs of Xincai County and Baoxin County.
United is nothing. All the officials that can be contacted find it very ordinary. Even if you and the Zhang and Wang family are very capable, you can build the local area wherever you go. It would be nice to bring Xincai County.
But the problem is that the focus of the memorial is not to unite, but to help Xincai County to promote the county from Zhongxian, but it does not write to the prefecture, and has to go directly to Beijing. It praises Feng Changgong and other officials of Xincai County. One is rare in the sky, and absolutely nothing on the earth.
It is said that the officials of Xincai County have helped a lot during the alliance, and each of them has outstanding ability, which means to be promoted. Such people can no longer stay in the same county, unlike themselves and the cuckoo, who are years old. It's still young, and it's a lot of training. If the county magistrate Feng keeps training, he will be old.
This is also normal. Although the officials don't know how good Feng Changgong is and let Zhang Xiaobao praise it, since Zhang Xiaobao said it was okay, let's mention it.
But there is another sentence after that, saying that Beijing should investigate Feng County magistrates a lot, because there are many people who are good officials. Once the positions are different, they are easy to change. In terms of literature, I think it’s good. You can also focus on this. Conduct an inspection.
Officials also understand this matter. They are afraid of taking responsibility. If it fails, investigation is inevitable.
Just the last thing to say made everyone unable to guess Zhang Xiaobao's purpose.
Since the memorial mentioned that the main officials in the county should be promoted and added burdens, then new officials had to go. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Zhang Xiaobao. The appointment of new officials was a matter for the officials.
However, Zhang Xiaobao nominated six, saying that three of them could be selected.
For other officials, they didn't know that Zhang Xiaobao was overpowering. The Zhang family had done too many things to go beyond their powers, and they couldn't be held accountable.
But it's different for Zhang said, because the six people mentioned by Zhang Xiaobao are all Yuwenrong people. In fact, they are really good. They belong to the kind of people who can really do things.
The problem is that Yu Wenrong and Zhang said that looking at each other was not pleasing to the eye. Zhang said that he was the prime minister, but he couldn't make Yu Wenrong an official. When Yu Wenrong went out to work, he could not pass through his Chinese Ministry of Education and belonged to the emperor. Later Zhang said I got a special organization to manage Yuwenrong again, but Yuwenrong was still disobedient.
The kind that belongs to the pragmatic school is united and opposed to the scholarly school that Zhang said, and more of it is actually opposed.
Zhang Jiuling is more obedient to work with Zhang Says. He is worried. His old housekeeper, who has resigned, is still staying at other people’s home. It is not good for anyone to help himself. Besides, Zhang’s family has always provided help to himself, which is a dilemma. .
So he feels tasteless when he eats.
Zhang said that, let alone, I sent a list last time, specifically mentioning Feng Chan, robbing himself of the position of arranging people, and this time he even gave Yu Wenrong the official quota that seemed to be a good place. .
Zhang said that he would like to go there and ask in person, which side of your family is standing, it is said that it is from the scholarly school, yes, there is the title of the champion of the Jinshi department, and even the subordinates in the family are knowledgeable and knowledgeable. It's also right to say that they are pragmatic. They have accumulated a lot of political achievements, all of which are local.
Shouldn't stand at both ends, but at this time came to look for trouble again, is it because they knew what he said to the emperor last time
Thinking of this in his mind, Zhang said that he couldn’t eat anymore. He was so angry and anxious that Zhang Xiaobao didn’t mention him. The anxious thing was that the memorial was sent up, and it was likely to be passed. Wouldn’t he be missing a good place? ? That place, like Luzhou, was specially used for promotion of officials.
As long as the officials there are not lacking in mind and follow the original plan, they can be promoted in less than two years. If three people of their own are arranged to pass, they will be picked up quickly at that time and it will be more convenient to use in the future.
"What can I do? Just press it down? No, the memorial can be pressed, but the pigeon can't. Zishou, what do you think should be done?"
Zhang said and murmured, unable to think of a good way, and turned to ask Zhang Jiuling.
What is really afraid of, Zhang Jiuling was worried that Zhang said and asked herself, who would he not favor, and who would pay the money for road construction? Who is buying Meicai? Who gave me many things in my home, and who helped me with certain ideas
All things point to the Zhang family, but Zhang said that he is not thin to himself. Without Zhang said, he would not have his current position. How should this be said
Zhang Jiuling was chewing the vegetables vigorously in his mouth, which meant that Zhang Xiao waited for a while, waited until he swallowed, and used this time to think about it.
The dishes are not old, you can't chew them all the time. After chewing for a while, Zhang Jiuling swallowed the vegetables with difficulty, and met Zhang Shuo's expectant gaze, and said: "But with Master Zhang, if you can change the list, it will be even better. Okay, but there seems to be a little chaos there, and all parties will intervene.
Especially Yu Wenrong, the people now belong to him. If Feng Changgong really rises up like this, it means that he has great talents, and he should be sent again, unless..."
Zhang Jiuling didn't say the following words, but the meaning was very clear.
Zhang said he thought the same way, nodded and said: "Then do it this way and let the three of Feng Changgong go to Beijing for assessment. As for the other six candidates, we will discuss when Xincai County can really be promoted to Shang County."
At the moment when Zhang said he made his decision, someone outside sent a letter from Li Xun to the army station. Zhang said he was very worried that Li Xun and Zhang Xiaobao would stand together to deal with them. Zhang Jiuling followed.
After waiting for Zhang Say to open the letter and read the contents, he burst into laughter, "Hahaha, okay, okay, good time, Zishou, come and see, Tongan County Wang Xinxin said he heard people say that Feng Changgong There are many omissions in the county when doing things, worrying that the money he took out will not be used normally, and let the court find a way, it is best to change the official."
Zhang Jiuling didn’t need to read the letter, but listened to Zhang to understand that Li Xun could not promote officials by himself. If he hadn’t been with Zhang Wang’s family before, he wouldn’t even be able to follow to Yizhou, let alone joint business. He If you feel that a place is not good, you can be impeached, but you can't be appointed. This is because you have come to ask for help.
Things seem to be very beneficial to me, but why do I always feel something wrong? The relationship between Zhang Xiaobao and Li Xun is so good, hasn't there been a conversation before? One is very promoted, one has to suppress, chaos, it feels like... Just like when Xiaobao and Cuckoo were in Yizhou.
Whether it is a war or an economic war, it feels messy, and it is not until the dust settles that they know the layout of the two people.
Zhang said that without waiting for Zhang Jiuling to say anything, he happily received the letter, turned and walked out, "Go, eat, I was not full just now, and I was hungry again."
Zhang Jiuling said, isn’t it that she didn’t eat enough, she just ate those two bites, and now she still feels uncomfortable in her stomach, she didn’t eat comfortably, and she followed along, but she couldn’t erase the two things she knew today, or the same thing. Things in one place, which place seems wrong.
…
When others went to eat a supplementary meal, Li Xun was already full and had eaten a lot, so he was able to let his subordinates pick up Shancha pills for him to chew. It wasn't that the food was delicious, but the main reason was that he was in a good mood.
It’s too uncomfortable to stay alone in Shuzhou. I can’t see Xiaobao or Liuer, not to mention the very cute Xiaobei. On the way back from Yizhou, we often talked to Xiaobei. Telling stories to each other, now I finally found an excuse to come out, it's really not easy.
"Will we row a boat?" Li Xun suggested.
Zhang Xiaobao just about to nod, then suddenly shook his head, and said to Li Xun: "It's probably not enough. The local government where you invested is here. The magistrate is here in person. You see, it's the one with the sharp-mouthed monkey cheek."
