Chapter 32: Easy money in the county

Zhang Zhong took the paper and looked at the merchants. The merchants didn't know what happened to the few people in the yamen. They were looking forward to the county magistrate stamping the seal, which was exchanged for ginseng.

Zhang Zhong turned his gaze to Shen Wencop again, and Chen Yuan was shocked. He thought that the county magistrate had known that he had stolen the seal. He quickly lowered his head and put it beside him trembled constantly. His behavior made Zhang Zhong's eyes lit up.

Just as I was worried that I couldn't find someone, someone was afraid to look at him, which means that this matter had at least something to do with him.

Nodded slightly, Zhang Zhong looked at Zhan Zhubo again. Zhan Zhubo returned a complicated look and said nothing. Of course, he would not tremble.

Finally, it was County Magistrate Xiao. County Magistrate Xiao looked at Zhang Zhong with fearlessness, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Zhang Zhong smiled and deliberately said to County Chief Xiao: "Can I put my handprints on it?"

"Sir, are you joking? How can you play with this kind of thing?" Xiao County Chief sneered a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, since that's the case, I will press the seal." Zhang Zhong said, stretched his hand into his arms, slowly reached in, and slowly took it out under the eyes of everyone with different thoughts. A piece wrapped in silk was taken in Zhang Zhong's hand.

He pulled the ink to the front and slowly untied the silk cloth. When the last buckle was untied, a golden seal appeared in front of everyone.

Zhang Zhong picked up the seal and was about to dip the seal. Chen Yuan on the other side couldn't help but scream, "This is impossible, how can the seal be in your hands."

"Shut up, what are you talking nonsense?" County Magistrate Xiao didn't expect that Chen Yuan was so unstable. He scolded him and said to Zhang Zhong with a smile: "Sir, what Shen Wen meant is, did he not let his subordinates help him take care of his seal?"

Zhang Zhong finally made sure, nodded, "Yes, Shen Wen must want to know why he didn't let his subordinates take care of him, someone came."

The last three words were shouted out to the outside, and two guards came in immediately and waited there.

"Copy Shen Wen wants to know why the seal is not in the hands of others, but in the arms of my official. You can take him out and tell him why? You must tell him clearly."

Zhang Zhong said calmly, he hated this Shenyuan to death, and wished he could go over and strangle him to death now. If his son hadn't prepared it early, this time it would be difficult.

The two guards who came in understood what was going on as soon as they heard it, and replied: "Yes."

Each of them stretched out a hand and grabbed Shen Yuan's shoulders on both sides, lifting Shen Yuan out like a chicken.

Chen Yuan reacted at this time and shouted, "No matter what I do, County Magistrate Xiao, help me, Master Zhan, help me, help me."

Zhang Zhong didn't seem to hear it, and he was stamping the seal there seriously. Zhan Zhubo and Xiao County Chief didn't know what to do now. The two stared at the seal on Zhang Zhong's hand, as if they wanted to figure out what was going on. Could it be that someone was seen when Shen Yuan Tibetan Seal?

Zhang Zhong ignored Zhan Zhubo and Xiao County Magistrate, and while covering up, he said calmly to the businessmen: "I came to Huayuan County to be the county magistrate, and I wanted the people in the county to live a good life. I know what you wanted to do a few days ago, and I originally wanted to clean up.

But I think that merchants are pursuing profits by nature, and there is nothing right or wrong in making money, so I keep you and ask Erniu to take you to see the land. I hope you can understand this good intention of my officer."

The merchants were frightened when they heard this. If they hadn't seen the county magistrate stamping them one by one, they would have thought that this matter would have been over.

The smart businessman immediately said, "Don't worry, sir, I understand that if you have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely help you let the people of Huayuan County live a good life."

After finishing the last one, Zhang Zhong packed the one belonging to the yamen, then said, "No need to have a chance in the future. Now there is a chance in front of you. You have a lot of money. Sixteen people, one person will pay 5,000 guan first, and 80,000 guan. You can do a lot of things."

"Ah? Big, sir, are there too many ginseng..." A businessman couldn't help but speak out. Five thousand guan was too many, so I have to mention the ginseng.

Zhang Zhong smiled, "Ginseng, all three are there. My son is so sick, it's already cured. But my son is naughty and pretends on purpose. If you want it, I will ask someone to take it to you later."

"No, no, sir, I don't mean this. I'm asking if the ginseng is enough. If it's not enough, I'll find it later. Sir, we know that your family is not short of money. Money will be used on the people in the county. Sir, you are a good official, but Sir, you must have a name."

Another businessman pulled the one he had just spoken behind, and he stood up and explained it, then reasoned with Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong was prepared for a long time, and he still looked kind and "The name, yes! Didn't it be written in the document? You will have to pay the land you occupy at the highest price of the things you can plant on it."

"What the adults are talking about planting flowers, right? But that is the field, and you must plant food. The adults say that the most money is, and I am willing to take it out." The businessman should have thought of this. He thought that the most expensive thing to plant is just the rice from the Zhang family, and the seeds are sold by pound.

Even if the rice from a mu of fertile land can produce five stones, it will only cost about five hundred kilograms, one hundred cents per kilogram, and fifty jin. So what can it do?

"Of course I can't plant flowers anymore. Do you know that my family has fungus? Then, let's calculate the good fields by fungus. I still have nearly ten stones of dry fungus in my family. When planting, it only occupies more than one acre of land. It's less. Even if one acre a year is five stones of dry fungus, how much does it cost for you?"

Zhang Zhong said slowly there, and when he heard the words, he was like thunder in his ears, he would have to forget about these things. Five stones are just over 500 kilograms of dry fungus. How much does a kilogram cost? The cheap places must be more than ten jin. When they are short, there is a price but no market. Some people are rushing to buy them when they say they sell for 20 jin.

If they really counted that way, they occupied about two acres of land alone. How much would that cost? Twenty thousand coins, they couldn't count like this.

Not only the merchants were confused, but also the Zhengmaster Zhan and the Chief Xiao were confused. They were not thinking about the printing for the time being, thinking about how much money Zhang Zhong’s family had.

Zhang Zhong knocked on the table with his hand and said, "How is it? Do you understand? Have you figured it out? Have you figured it out clearly. From now on, the land will be calculated based on the money of vegetables in winter. Just pay hundreds of trump cards per acre a year. It is close to the capital. If you take up that place, do you still want to make a lot of money back then?"

"I understand, I figured it out. Sir, we just understood it. One person will send 5,000 stagnants to the yamen in two days. There is a lot of money. According to the rules, there must be 40% of the silk. Don't worry, we will pick some better silk to deliver it."

The merchants wiped their sweat, and only exchanged their eyes and knew what to do. They gave them five thousand guan, which was better than 20,000 guan a year in the future. This year, they didn’t think about making money. It would be good to be able to make money.

Zhang Zhong didn't think that all copper coins, silver, copper coins, and silk were used for transactions as currency. The court said that the currency was also mandatory. With 80,000 guan, his own money could be raised first, and then repairing this and that, which is enough. How much is the entire court treasury this year?

Eighty thousand guan, which is a huge sum of money for a county.

Zhang Zhong felt relieved about this matter and comforted him: "Five thousand stakes are a lot. I'm waiting for you to finish your work there. I'll give you a few words and benefit you a lot."

"Yes, since the lord said, I will go back and prepare now. Please give me some more suggestions." The merchants were relieved. Is there any need to say about the Zhang family's ability to make money? This county magistrate is not like the kind of person who doesn't care about his words.

They said a few words happily and left one after another.

Waiting for the merchants to leave, there were only three people left in the room, including Zhang Zhong, Zhan Zhubo and Xiao County Chenggong.

Zhang Zhong smiled and said to the two of them: "I would like to thank you for causing this matter this time. If you hadn't been busy there, how could I get so much money for the yamen? I wonder what Copy Shen Wen asked, let's go and have a look?"

As he spoke, Zhang Zhong stood up, but Luo's literary gift was held in his hand and was not going to be placed in the yamen. What if someone steals it? Someone stole the official seal, what else should I not steal it?

Zhan Zhubo and County Magistrate Xiao are most afraid of Zhang Zhong's mentioning this matter now, but Zhang Zhong just mentioned it. Zhan Zhubo compromised first and said to Zhang Zhong: "My magistrate, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You got 80,000 guan for the yamen at once. It's great. In the future, our Huayuan County will definitely catch up with Sanshui County.

Sir, when young people do things, please ask them to give a note as they said to the businessmen just now. The younger people are always prone to small mistakes. If you accidentally offend them, you have a lot of them. Don’t worry about them.”

Zhan Zhubo has to say this. Shen Yuan still doesn’t know if he can hold on. What if he explains it, what should he do?

"Well, it's not bad. Zhan Zhubo has a thorough look at things. If you can really do things in the yamen in the future, then do it well. Oh, the yamen is short of money." Zhang Zhong didn't want to let Zhan Zhubo go so easily and not let him know that he was powerful. If something happens next time, there will be no time to put it on him.

Zhan Zhubo understood and then said, "What the lord said is that their businessmen gave me and County Chief Xiao five cents to each person in advance, but in fact they were just for the yamen. I forgot to say yesterday that the younger ones would send the money to someone."

"That's good, I don't know what County Magistrate Xiao said?" Zhang Zhong asked Xiao again.
