Chapter 179: It seems difficult to treat when taking office

The boat went upstream and walked up the river that would stop after walking for a while.

At this time, the river was no longer as if it was only a small number of ships. From above, there were ships flowing downstream, some were loaded with goods, and some were carrying people. When they looked at the eyes, they all seemed to be very happy.

"Dad, this river flows through Huayuan County, but unfortunately it was occupied by the original nephew of the Shangshu, otherwise our family would have a large income."

Zhang Xiaobao introduced Xiaohe to his father who smiled from time to time. Zhang Zhong knew why, but it was not for his first prize this time. After some trouble, he finally got the first prize. His family spent countless money on this matter.

"Xiaobao, you are tired. You should take care of the family affairs and worry about the outside world. Alas! You can help my father's career. Thanks to my son, what should the Zhang family do if it was someone else's?"

Zhang Zhong looked at his son's chubby face and said with emotion that he no longer thought about why children are so powerful. Those things are not important. What matters is that his own son is filial and sensible. Even if his son suddenly flies in the sky one day, he is still his son.

Zhang Xiaobao doesn't care whether he is tired or not. He really doesn't do anything. It's all small things. Just take some time to think about it carefully and you can arrange it.

With this waterway, two-thirds of the journey from Beijing to Zhangjiazhuang is required to take. Its value is reflected in this. The boat is walking in front and several boats are followed behind. The items on it are all bought by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and there are as many things as eating, drinking, and having fun.

The capital is the capital city, which is much more prosperous than Sanshui County, and there are more varieties of goods. The two of them brought it to their families, the merchants, and the children. These things cost more than 500 chunks, and there is nothing that is too expensive, just more.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could imagine how happy the people in the village would be after they returned.

If you take a detour like before, you will have to walk for half a month, and it will be fast. Now it is going upstream, and it will take about six or seven days to arrive. After walking for five days, you will enter the boundary of Huayuan County. The boat was walking, and many people suddenly came out of the shore.

The man on the left bank threw a rope tied with a stone to the right bank. The man on the right bank took the rope and when he tried hard on both sides, the rope straightened and just blocked the front of the boat.

Zhang Xiaobao and his friends were looking forward to going home in another day, but they didn't expect that someone would stop the boat. Zhang Zhong had not taken office yet, so naturally he could not use the status of a county magistrate to suppress him. He turned out to have a third official of Yunqiwei, and I don't know if some people forgot it or why, but they didn't take it back.

"Who is blocking the boat?" Erhu, who was responsible for protecting Zhang Zhong, shouted to both sides.

"Your ships pass through our river, so of course you can't pass in vain. You have to take out money. A ship always has money. If you give it to the ship, you can go back the same way if you don't give it."

A person on the left shore shouted at Zhang Xiaobao, and the people on both sides of the shore also shouted a few times, with a strong aura.

Zhang Xiaobao said, "It seems that it takes a lot of effort. Huayuan County is not as good as Sanshui County. There are such unruly people. Should they be educated with kind words or use thunder means?"

"I guess we have to go through two-pronged approach. Seeing the clothes some people are not so poor, I found such a simple way to make money, which is smart enough." Wang Juan said carefully when he heard Zhang Xiaobao's words.

She didn't say that they got it for nothing, after all, they threw the ropes. A rope was actually nothing, so they just passed by. The key is that there was still a rope there and it was useless. If they were placed there, they had to break the rope if they wanted to break it. I was afraid that these people wouldn't throw the rope, but smash it onto the boat with stones, which would be troublesome.

Erhu, who was shouting, naturally would not give others money, so how could a river become someone else's. He shouted again: "The boat is Lord Yun Qiwei, that is, the Huayuan County Magistrate who is about to take office. If you don't let go, you will definitely be punished for waiting for a roadblock."

Erhu's words worked. People on the shore did not know the truth or falsehood, so they could only say that they would rather believe in their thoughts than not, blocked their faces with their hands, turned around and ran towards the distance, and the rope would not be pulled away from the ship alone.

The boat continued to move forward, but Zhang Xiaobao had no idea of ​​being happy. Those people would definitely stop other people's boats if they could think of ways to block the boat. If they didn't clean up, who would be willing to take this path in the future?

"I have to tell Grandpa Bi's nephew this matter. He is in charge of the dock. If every ship is stopped, then the dock will not be prosperous. After my father takes office, he will start to deal with people. I don't know what kind of resistance it will encounter. If someone like Zhangjiazhuang comes out here, it will be really difficult to deal with."

Zhang Xiaobao is going to ask the old man’s nephew to try it out first, to see if it is deep, and to find a way according to the specific situation.

Wang Juan also thought of this situation. "It depends on the yamen runners in the yamen. If you are like the yamen runners in Sanshui County, your father will not have to rely on doing things. Those who are deceived all day long are also the lord Bo and the county magistrate. Originally, the lord Bo also had the opportunity to be the county magistrate. Do you think he can cooperate with your father well?"

"Not afraid, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts beat the ghosts, first be polite and then soldiers. When my father takes office, he will give some benefits to the yamen runners to see how they do it, be respectful to my father and obedient, so that is better to them. If you take something and still disobey the sun, let them see the thunder method."

Zhang Xiaobao has decided that as soon as his father took office, he would first gather the yamen runners. Otherwise, if the order could not be implemented, how could he build Huayuan County? How to achieve political achievements? He still had many ideas that he had not taken out and kept them specifically for his father.

Zhang Zhong was also thinking about the same thing. He didn't think of what to do. When he heard the two children say one by one, he would set things down in the future, making him feel a little old, even if he was in his twenties.

After a short while, the speed of the boat increased again. Zhang Xiaobao stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the flowing water rushing towards him, and said to Zhang Zhong: "Dad, how fast the boat is? When you encounter a fast water flow, you can't move. You can move little by little. Why not wait for you to find some landless people after you take office."

"Xiaobao, what job do you think you are looking for?" Zhang Zhong put his hand on Zhang Xiaobao's shoulder and asked softly. His son is too smart. In the blink of an eye, he can think of a job that will increase income for the people in the county.

"Traveler, let them put some effort into arranging the water flowing area, just pull it over, pull a few cents a day, and come along the way, and we encountered two places in the county. When we walk forward, we can put ten people in one place, and twenty places in two places.

If one family is born, it will benefit twenty families, and they will be rewarded by ten or eight times a day. Each person has about ten cents of money. How much can the people buy more than ten cents? Needless to say, how much is your annual salary?"

Zhang Xiaobao said to his father, but Zhang Zhong was a little disappointed, "Xiaobao, there are only about twenty households. Even if there are another place in front, there are only thirty households, and there are still too few."

"Dad, there are quite a few, and a small solution can solve the problem of about twenty households. Thinking about a few more, accumulating a lot of them can also make people without much labor in the family set up stalls by the river and sell some things. People on the boat want to eat and drink, or think that buying some gadgets for their family can solve some people."

Zhang Xiaobao knew that his father had no experience in this area. Even if he learned a little from County Magistrate Cheng, he was just talking on paper. He didn't know how much it would be to solve the life problems of dozens of worst families first, so he could only slowly enlighten him.

When Zhang Zhong heard this idea, he thought it was good and nodded, "Xiaobao, it's a pity that you are still too young, otherwise this top scholar should be yours. If you put you in the court, the people in the lobby will be blessed."

"Dad, it's not easy to do things in the court. You can't do whatever you want. You obviously have a good idea, but after a debate, you can't do it. Dad, if the county magistrate and lord in the yamen are not on the same side as you, you will fight with them yourself and treat it as a play.

If we can't fight, let's find a way. In the future, when we go to the capital to become officials, we must not avoid this kind of struggle. Politics is an art, is it a juanjuan?"

Zhang Xiaobao now decided to let his father practice more, just like he practiced Wang Juan's father. Wang Juan's father was much more stable than before. After suffering a few losses, he finally learned some things.

Zhang Zhong understood that his son was to give him a face, and he could not fight, and then he could find a way to do it. That is to say, if a father is unable to fight, his son will take action himself. Alas! I don’t know who is whose father?

The boat continued to move forward, and sure enough, I saw a place with rapid water flow. This allowed three places to be arranged to pull the fibers. Each time, it was enough to pull less than a thousand steps away. The boat was small, not as tired as those in the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. If you don’t want to spend this little money, just row the boat slowly.

It was about to get home, and the people who were eager to return home continued to paddle when it was dark, without any intention of stopping. They were preparing to get home early.

At dawn, a restaurant in the distance could be seen in the distance. The people on the boat cheered, but this time they returned with supreme glory.

I had seen several boats on Zhang Xiaobao's side there. The four- or five-fold telescope is still very useful. When the boat gets closer, the sound of firecrackers begins to ring one after another. The four village houses gather here, wanting to welcome the top scholar.

The two masters also came out and walked to the shore to wait. Especially the old man of the Zhang family, who had already started to wipe his tears and muttered there, "I have something to say when I see my ancestors."
