The sun hangs in the sky and shines on the earth, taking away the remaining bit of spring cold, green grass lined with flowers swinging back and forth, Xiao Hong drives the big goose velvet, leading a group of ducks and geese into the water to play, or find a few The small fishes brought into the pond rushed to eat, raising their heads and yelling twice whenever a group of geese flew by.

The oval leaves of the locust tree rustle with the wind, and the clusters of green-green azuki beans hanging from the branches seem to be about to unfold their bodies and blooming white flowers.

The little children in Zhuangzi all came outside, cutting the grass that was going to go back to feed the livestock, watching the locust blossoms that were about to bloom, so that they could pluck them and eat them, sweet with some special flavor, or Go home to make Sophora japonica rice and send it to the master’s house to make wine.

The taste is worse than that of elm tree money, but there are too many bugs on that elm tree money. Sophora japonica can not eat more. When playing together, the big baby should look after the little one and look for fun places. Under the leadership of the eldest child, the little ones yelled and squabbled, and burst into laughter everywhere in Zhuangzi.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who had eaten at noon and drank more bone soup, lay side by side on the chairs in the middle of the small yard belonging to them to bask in the sun. The noon sun made the shadows of the two chairs short. The ground was reflected on the ground, and the pomegranate sprayed water on the fungus, leaving only the two of them enjoying this leisurely time.

"The toad is coming out soon?" He squinted his eyes and lay down for a while, and the blanket covering his belly button was drawn down. Wang Juan pulled the blanket up and closed his eyes and asked.

"Well, it seems that we are going to block the small river in front of the door and put water in. If the soil is too hard, the hibernating toad can't climb out. This year, let the little baby not catch the toad so early. It's better to let the toad have When you enter the pond and paddy field, the pond will remain there to give the toad more hibernation. In the summer, the toad can be used as a staple food every day."

Zhang Xiaobao put his arm on the back of his head, his calf was up and dangling, making a plan.

"You still have fish in the paddy field. Toad eggs and tadpoles will be eaten by then." Wang Juan was a little worried.

"En... Just eat. There will be fewer toads in the paddy fields and more in the ponds. Those toads that can survive in the paddy fields are lucky or strong. The hibernation will survive, and the next generation will be better. strong."

"It can only do that. Raise a few dogs this year, preferably in a litter, and then fight and go together." Wang Juan thought about the dog again.

Zhang Xiaobao shuddered when he heard that he was going to raise a dog, and he disagreed, "I don’t like dogs, but I have to wait for them. Put more energy on these things, and less energy in other areas. Or you can raise them yourself, vegetable plots. There is a piece of sand and rock next to it. You make a nest over there. The leftovers in the yard are just to be fed."

"Don’t want to feed my dog leftovers. There is salt and other seasonings. I have to choose the dog myself. When I was young, I would feed some milk and porridge. With so many chickens, it will happen to be fed to the chicken rack at that time, and I will train myself in the future."

Wang Juan really doesn't care if Zhang Xiaobao is willing to raise him with her. He has an independent personality and can't force others to have a place and provide food.

Zhang Xiaobao opened his eyes and turned to look at Wang Juan, "Are you going to raise a local dog as a police dog? Have you learned it?"

"I've seen and asked the breeder. Just copy it. It's nothing more than a little less experience. The dog that is not well-raised is a local dog, and if it is good, it is a police dog. When the affairs of your house are handled, you can give it to me. Find a good breed of dog. Can you get a Tibetan Mastiff? Just a few of those dogs."

Wang Juan imagined that a group of powerful dogs would be by his side and obedient, so he laughed.

Zhang Xiaobao's most horn moved. I didn’t know how to organize the language. After waiting for a while, Wang Juan was still dreaming about it and said, “Anyone using Tibetan Mastiff as a police dog? Back then, a group of Du Bowen was chasing me. I give… "

"What's the matter with you?" Wang Juan stopped imagining this time, and turned to question.

"It was dumped by me, and I want to track it down, and get some irritating things so that they can't smell anything. You never think I killed them? So a bunch of them, I'm bare-handed, and they followed. A lot of people with guns, am I stupid?"

Zhang Xiaobao felt that Wang Juan, a distressed dog, couldn’t put enough space too high. Seeing Wang Juan, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, “I’ll ask someone to ask if there is a dog that is bred with wolves. Buy it at that time. Here to you, the Tibetan Mastiff is not suitable."

"Who told you that the Tibetan Mastiff can't be a police dog? You are ignorant? The wolf dog is looking for it. You should also pay attention to the Tibetan Mastiff. Especially in winter, the Tibetan Mastiff can still be used here." Wang Juan curled his lips.

"Well, Tubo can get carrots. What are some dogs? You will find them. Don't feed them with my beef, pork. It happens to be so long that the piglets caught by the farmers are long. Big." Zhang Xiaobao saw Wang Juan being so serious, so he had to compromise.

"If you don’t eat pork, you will eat mutton without beef. You can cooperate with me during training. The dog trusts me a little bit."

Wang Juan began to arrange future affairs for Zhang Xiaobao again. Zhang Xiaobao blinked a few times, "The dog trusts you, what about me?"

Among the yamen in Sanshui County, Er Niu had already finished eating, most of the beef was digested by the magistrate Cheng, and took a rest. In the afternoon, the magistrate Cheng took a group of people with great fanfare, plus Cong Zhang. The money, cloth, silk and other things that were drawn from the house went to the place of Xiaoluoshuihe together.

The people here have heard the news a long time ago, and they all ran over there to watch the excitement. Some even waited in front of the Yamen. When they came out, they followed by, wanting to see where the fool came from Zhangjiazhuang. One, and the money on the car, let them estimate it to see if there are fifteen hundred taels of silver.

When Madam Cheng and his party arrived at the place, there were quite a few people here. In order to create momentum, Madam Cheng planned to come to an on-site office. The silver was taken down and let people count it, and the result was exactly one thousand five hundred taels of silver.

I also sent people to the other side to take measurements. I was busy and spent more than an hour. This is still a lot of people sent out for measurement. The opposite place has been measured, 1,200 acres. The documents are written and printed, etc. Take the paper back with Erniu, write the words on the host's side, and put the handprint on it. This place belongs to Zhangjiazhuangzi, so don't even think about taking the money back.

The people are all there watching. If they say that the money is used to buy fertile land, there will be people who think that Cheng Xianling is greedy for some of the money. After all, the price is too cheap to buy the barren mountain. Everyone thinks it belongs to Zhangjiazhuang. There is a problem with the human head.

Regardless of how the people talked, Er Niu took the paperwork and hurried back immediately and asked the master over there to put his handprints on. Song Jinggong, who had been accompanying here, also moved along, and began to recruit some people on the spot, to face the other side of the river. Place for construction.

"Zi Jin, are you planning to grow things over there?" The county magistrate Cheng was puzzled seeing Song Jinggong moving so fast.

"My lord, how could it be possible to grow things in that place? The students follow Zhuangzi's instructions to build a house and repair the dock here. Zhuangzi will use one thousand taels of silver for the students this time. Adults, you see There are a lot of earth and rocks on the mountain, so you can save money on building docks and houses.

It was a severe drought at this time. The Xiaoluoshui River was completely dry and construction was a lot easier. Find someone to dig the river deeper and widen, and use the extra soil on the embankment. When the drought is over, the rainy season begins. , The river here is wider and the water is deeper, some big boats can sail in.

The house at the wharf can be rented out as a warehouse, and the flat ground at the foot of the mountain can be built as a restaurant and other pavements. No matter how well the mountain road is built and a few pavilions are built on the mountain, the freight will be available, and there will be an extra one for drinking and having fun on it. From top to bottom, looking at the ships passing by in the river, I have a special mood.

Also, at that time, Zhuangzi continued to pay to dig a small artificial lake over there, in which artificial hills and pavilions were built, and water from the Xiaoluoshui River was introduced. Boats could travel between the lake and the river. Those who play in the mountains can go down and go boating and sing in person. Adults, do you think this is possible? "

Song Jinggong didn't need to conceal it at this time, and explained all the arrangements made by Zhuangzi.

The county magistrate Cheng listened, with a smile on his face at the beginning, but when he heard it, the smile disappeared. It was replaced by shock and annoyance. He was stunned and motionless. Song Jinggong had finished speaking, and he didn't say anything. .

"My lord, there is one more thing I want to ask you for help." Song Jinggong saw the county magistrate stunned and had to increase her voice.

"Ah? What's the matter? What's the matter? Isn't it necessary to buy the land on the side of the river? That's not possible. This is a grain field. You have to grow grain. You can stand here by the river. There is such a half acre of land in this place, which makes it impossible to build a wharf."

The county magistrate Cheng also had this idea just now, but later found out that if he wanted to follow suit, he would have to occupy the land. Then someone would impeach him for not doing agriculture, but only for doing business and destroying the land and making trade. This is a serious crime, thinking that Song Jinggong is the same. It's a big deal.

"Don't worry, adults, Zhuangzi will naturally not do such things, but the students see that the small bridge between the two sides of the strait is in disrepair for a long time, and wants to pay for it, and build a wider and stronger one to make it easier for pedestrians." Song Jinggong explained.

"Building the bridge? Convenient for pedestrians? Isn’t it necessary to transport things from the opposite bank here? It’s really convenient after the bridge is repaired." Cheng County Commander understood the key point at a glance. Zhangjiazhuang is really unwilling to take a loss at all.

"My lord is wise." Song Jinggong said with a smile.
