Chapter 25: Take a person at the foot of the mountain

When Zhang Zhong rode his horse to the foot of the east mountain, many people had already gathered here, not only the people of Huayuan County, but also the people who came to visit relatives or find work to do other places.

Some were holding shovels, some carried pickaxes, and some carried baskets. They all knew that a better road to the mountain was going to be built here so that some people would be squeezed down.

Zhang Zhong had already asked someone to go back to the village to deliver things here, including various tools, ropes, etc. He would put the money on first. At that time, he would take the money out of the yamen and naturally he would have to sell the things at home. The grocery store would not always hold the goods.

When he arrived here, it was already Shen Shi, and he was riding a horse, otherwise he would have to delay it. The people who delivered goods here would probably have to wait half an hour or an hour. In order to wait for them, Zhang Zhong asked the yamen runners who followed him to be responsible for selecting people.

You can come from the county first. If not enough, then use people outside. Young and strong people are responsible for building roads. They almost hit the side with their bodies. A woman comes over and takes care of cooking and cooking in the future. They boil water when it is hot.

The yamen runners walked to the front of the crowd. They did not bring a list and could not know everyone. They had to let the people see each other. They were not from the county before waiting. After all, this project was to benefit the people of Huayuan County.

"Sir, will you waste money if you do this?" He Cangji also followed, riding a horse, feeling that what he said that morning was not ready yet, so it would be useless to start working here first.

Zhang Zhong understood what he was thinking. He had arranged someone over there to give instructions. The rest was to find some old people here to ask them what legends, stories, etc., so that the person named the tour guide could recite them and tell them to others.

If it weren't for clearing his grocery store, he wouldn't have been going to get things out of the house. When he heard He Cang Ji's question, he said, "He Cang Ji, I don't want to work so early. The dew is still a little cold now."

"Why do you still have to do this?" He Cangji naturally couldn't imagine what it means to stimulate domestic demand.

"There are already many foods left in the people's homes. If it weren't for wild vegetables, they would have no food to eat. I'll calculate for you. I'll recruit two thousand people for the work on the mountain. The yamen built a house for me for twelve hours. At night, I also carried lanterns to do things, and they would have to do a hundred people.

These people have wages, candles for lanterns and other things must be bought in the county, and food must be bought in the county. If the county is not enough, it can be transferred from other places. Some of my family can be transferred, and some merchants will also come to sell it.

Merchants have to pay taxes when selling things, and they also need people to help transport their goods. The tax money yamen is available, and the transporters also get wages. The people in the county raise some chickens, ducks and pigs, and they usually keep them for themselves to eat.

I have asked the village to send chicks and piglets here, so I can directly raise them more. People are afraid that they can't sell them, so they wait for the mountain to do work, and there will be at least one meal of meat every day. When the people see this situation, they will find that the people who work are not eating enough in the county.

When people outside come to sell, they will also send some poultry and livestock from their homes to sell for money. After selling them, I will issue another notice. In a month, I will build the road in the county. This road cannot be completed in a short while. The entire county will be built as long as there are people in the house."

Zhang Zhong stopped here, looked at He Cangji, and waited for He Cangji to speak. If He Cangji could keep up with this idea, he would be reusing it in the future.

He Cangji didn't know that the county magistrate around him had the idea of ​​reusing him, and would not have thought about it specifically, but he did try hard to think about it. He had never considered such a thing before. At this time, when Zhang Zhong mentioned it, he felt as if he had seen something new and very magical.

After a quarter of an hour, He Cangji woke up from all kinds of thoughts and looked at Zhang Zhong with admiration and said, "Sir, I understand. As long as the notice says that when building roads, more poultry or livestock should be used to keep them, the people will believe it. After all, there are examples on the mountain side.

There will be more people who raise them, and they will not be kept for their own homes. The chickens you catch will grow up in just a few months. If you don’t wait to lay eggs, you can kill them in more than four months to eat meat.

There is also the pig, we can just grab half a big one to raise. It will take less than ten months, six or seven months to grow up. If the people sell it, they will have spare money and think about buying things. The rent this year has been collected in advance, and there will be too much food at that time, so there is no need to worry about eating.

They have to buy other things, or save them to get a wife and build a house for the children at home. As long as some people are willing to spend money, the things here will not be enough. Merchants will transport them here, the dock will be more prosperous and the tax will be more.

I just thought about it. As long as I do this for two consecutive years, the yamen will not be short of money and the lives of the people will be easier. Adult, you are the real parents and officials. For the sake of the people, you actually took out the money to make up for it. I don’t know when it will be made up.

Sir, if you are promoted in the future, let me, He Lingwan, follow you. I will not be a little official anymore, just follow you and help copy the documents."

As He Cangji spoke, he made up his mind and followed the adults to see what else they could do. It was so amazing. When it was so difficult, just take out the first amount of money and invest it in it first, and you can drive the entire county.

If every county magistrate of Huayuan County could not be greedy and follow Lord Zhang's path, what would Huayuan County become in ten years?

Zhang Zhong didn't expect He Cangji to think so much. Although it was not completely right, it was not bad. Especially before he could speak up and reuse him, he actually surrendered first. This saved a lot of trouble. In the future, there would always be someone around him to help with something, which was just right.

"Sir, do you think I'm still a little short of it? Can't follow you?" He Cangji waited with hope and asked anxiously when he saw that the county magistrate did not speak.

Zhang Zhong smiled at him and said, "Follow, get this Huayuan County first. If I can go anywhere else, you will follow me. You are still an official. If I am promoted, you will also be promoted. If I change my rank, I will also take you."

He Cangji was happy at first, but later he wondered if he could be promoted to the office and which department he was in. It seems that the county magistrate’s final decision is not the final decision. Now the county magistrate can change his position for himself. Will he be able to go to the capital in the future?

Zhang Zhong also knew this, but he was not afraid. He had a good son, who said that he was the first in the prefecture and township tribute, and that he was the first in the top prize, and that he was the first in the top prize, and that he could be the county magistrate. The most surprising thing was that he could decide where he was placed, just like the court was a restaurant run by his son.

Looking at He Cangji's puzzled gaze, Zhang Zhong smiled happily, "Hahaha, He Cangji, you don't have to worry about such things, you will naturally know in the future. As you said just now, you are indeed a little bit short of it. You have to learn more. If you don't understand, ask. This is a big question in people's livelihood, which is much harder than taking the top scorer."

"What the adults said is, it's difficult, but I think it's not easy to take the top scorer. There's only one in the world. Adults are not old yet, but they actually passed the exam. Adults, what are we going to do next?" He Cangji heard the county magistrate say that he was bad, and he was not angry at all. He was really bad.

Zhang Zhong pointed at the way he came with his hand, "The next step is to send something. People should not work without the help of the guys. I transferred some from the village to make some money."

He Cangji looked back and saw that there was indeed a convoy there. The tools were installed on it. He didn't care where he made money. He just wanted to see what this place would look like in the future. As long as he could catch up with Sanshui County, many rich people now have to go to build houses and live in a comfortable place.

"Master, you asked someone to go back to the village to deliver a letter last night. The home was ready and transported the things over. There was also a letter from the wife. The wife asked the young man to tell the master that he would build the house here quickly and move the family over. The wife could help the master handle trivial matters."

A servant who followed him handed a letter to Zhang Zhong and said to him at the same time.

"It's almost done, it's almost done. Working continuously for twelve hours. In another ten days, the house will be repaired. You can take people there to divide things. Don't rush back tonight. Take a rest in Jinlailou here. There is something to arrange for you tomorrow."

Zhang Zhong gave another order, waved his hand and asked him to come over.

He Cangji watched from the side and listened, seeing the servants in the county magistrate's family dressed in a harmonious manner and responded to the rules, he admired Zhang Zhong more and more.

The people have already chosen their own choices and allocated what work they should do. The heavy work will naturally be more wages. At this time, they saw that the county magistrate had prepared the guys who worked for them and stood in line to take over.

There are not many people coming today, and maybe some people can come over tomorrow, and there are not many outsiders. Even if they join, they can't let them work when there is not enough staff.

As long as the people don’t force them to a certain extent, they will be very obedient. Even if they have wild vegetables to fill their stomachs, they will not think about rebelling. Now they will get started with the tools. Originally, Zhang Zhong was planning to start tomorrow. After more than an hour, the sky will gradually darken.

Seeing those people working there, Zhang Zhong found that there was little things and he didn't ask someone to prepare food. He quickly asked someone to go back to get the ingredients and cook here. The firewood was picked up on the mountain on the ground. Scratching and pulling it with a rake can make a lot of firewood that can be used for burning fire.
