Chapter 97: Xinguan Lingnan in Luzhou

I always keep watching this every night. The difference is my mood. This year, the people of Huayuan finally had a good New Year. There was a lot of food at home, and they dared to make dumplings with meat stuffing. The table was no longer like last year, there were only a few simple things.

The adults and the little kids made new clothes and bought firecrackers. When the sound came, they were accompanied by the little kids' laughter, and the cold night seemed to be full of joy.

Many people kowtowed a few times in the direction of the yamen, and then they started eating dumplings. The pork and green onion dumplings were taken out of the pot, piled onto a plate, picked up and dipped in garlic sauce, took a bite, and the fragrance was everywhere, and the little kids grinned.

The adults were equally happy and told their children from time to time to remember that without Zhang County Magistrate, there would be no good days now, big meat dumplings that could not be eaten with white flour, firecrackers, and there would not be any candy sent by every family during the Chinese New Year.

Some even set up a tablet of immortality for Zhang Zhong, blessing the Zhang family to be safe and sound.

Zhang Zhong didn't know that the people treated him like this, and was leading a few yamen runners to visit the poor families in the county town. When they went to the family, they had to chat, ask about life, ask about trivial matters at home, and have to eat dumplings.

After walking around a long circle, the sound of firecrackers gradually decreased, Zhang Zhong began to regret it. He ate too much at home. After eating this circle of dumplings, his stomach was full. Some people don’t like to be jealous, only soy sauce, and they were so greasy, and they had all kinds of stuffings.

I returned to the yamen and took a lot of Shancha pills. After a while, I felt better. I told myself and the people of the Wang family what happened in the future and waited for dawn.

When the New Year's firecrackers gradually faded away, the people returned to their normal lives. The matter in Chengzhou began. The court sent many officials and raised some from several counties, but six county magistrates wrote memorials saying that they still wanted to be county magistrates and that the matter in the county had not been handled.

Li Xun ran over early that morning and was very excited. He found Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who were still training people and said to the two of them: "Tell you a good thing. I am sick. According to a local recipe, you have to soak in the sea water and eat more seafood to get better."

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan understood as soon as they heard this. Li Xun made it clear that the people at home were trying to follow him. Zhang Xiaobao shook his head helplessly, "Why are you doing this? It's not easy to get along there. If you can't get used to eating and living, and you're really sick, it's going to be troublesome."

"Not afraid, you are not afraid. I am such a big man, what are you afraid of? As long as you follow you, there will be no things you can't get used to eating or living. Your family can enjoy it so well, how could it be bad?"

Li Xun had already made up his mind to follow him and was not worried about any danger. When he talked about following him, he suddenly said to the two people: "Guess where will Xiaobao's father go? Mr. Lu is really capable, so he found a group of people to write a memorial to say that your father is.

It is said that your father was in such a place and should be placed in a better place. It is said that it is a place in Luzhou. In addition, your family has tried some effort to find someone to do, and the emperor will be the same. He will come to the decree in two days. It is a Xiazhou, and your father can be the governor."

"Oh~! It turns out that I got Lingnan. Well, Lingnan is Lingnan. As long as I can take the lead, it's fine. Have my boat done? Come here quickly, and there are other ships to transport. There are a lot of things this time. If you don't want to live a hard life in the place, you have to bring more things over."

Zhang Xiaobao didn't expect that Lu Yanzuo was so cruel, so he really got it to Lingnan Road. Some of them left on the road. Since the matter was confirmed, we should also prepare here. After the imperial court ordered the order, his father took his family to the capital first. After seeing the emperor, he set off for the other side.

Li Xun patted his chest, "Don't worry, I've been ready for a long time. I have also changed a ship, plus the original large ship of the ship. This time I will bring three ships, your family has ten ships, how about it? The team is big enough, right?"

"Ten ships are not enough. My family has collected so many things from the surrounding counties. Ten ships cannot be loaded. Five more ships will come and go along the way. I will not go over on land. It will torture people to death. I will walk on water, then go into the sea, walk around the sea, and walk around in a circle, which is faster than walking directly from land."

Zhang Xiaobao estimated and firmly chose to take the water path. Otherwise, if he would cross mountains and ridges all the way, he would have to peel off even if he didn't die.

Li Xun thought so too. He had never seen what the sea looked like. This time he happened to see it. He nodded and agreed, "Okay, find five more big ships to come here, it's okay to go by water. Your father was not exiled. As long as you don't waste time in taking office, you can dig it from the ground.

A fourth-rank official, in a year, how many people have been trying to achieve the position they have been trying to achieve in their entire lives? Your father was so young, do you have to treat me to eat and celebrate?"

"The fourth-rank official is a fourth-rank official from my father who is very capable and is such a remote place. Ask the officials in the capital, how many of them are willing to go there? Okay, I'll treat you to eat and stir-fried eggs with leeks." Zhang Xiaobao was indeed happy. Others were unwilling to go outside to become officials. He was willing, and there was a real high mountain and far away emperor.

He and Wang Juan were fiddling with something, so there were no need to worry about being missed by others. There were many benefits. As he spoke, he asked fifty-six people to continue training. He really took Li Xun to make fried leeks and eggs. The newly-departed leeks were just right.

The matter of Zhang Zhong's departure was a foregone conclusion. Five days later, the imperial decree sent by the court made him go to the capital first. After seeing the emperor, he took the seal and took office.

Li Xun mobilized a large ship to the capital to wait. The goods here had to be delivered by small boats. The merchants of Zhang and Wang families also knew about this. Even if they had known it before, they would still be reluctant to leave when they were really waiting for the master's family to leave. Many people came over to see them off and kept ensuring that the village was optimistic and wait for the master's family to come back.

The people of Sanshui County also knew about this. Many people came, and sent Zhang Zhong, the person who brought them a good life, let alone the people of Huayuan County, and even the people of the other six counties around came one after another.

Trucks of goods were transported to the dock, and the people from the Zhang family didn't have to find someone to work, so the people who came came came out to help move.

Some of the people in the eight counties looked dark from a distance, with a total of tens of thousands of people. The goods were loaded and walked while carrying. The Zhang and Wang families arrived in the capital first and then started boarding the ship.

I don’t know who shouted first, “Mr. Zhang has a good journey, I kowtow to you. Sir. I’ll come back if I feel uncomfortable outside. We all listen to you.”

With this man's example, the other people also knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Zhong with blessings. Except for the people from Zhang and Wang family standing on the bow of the boat, the others were all kneeling there, with their heads rising and falling to kowtowed to Zhang Zhong.

This scene stunned Li Xun and also stunned the old man who had just flowed down.

Zhang Zhong didn't expect that so many people would come to see him off. It was just spring and the river water had just frozen. So many people would have knelt on the ground and they must be very cold. Zhang Zhong's tears couldn't help falling down one by one. He wiped his eyes with his sleeves, took the simple speaker handed over by Zhang Xiaobao, and shouted to the people around him:

"Everyone gets up and live a good life in the future. If you have trouble, go to the Zhang family to find the butler, or go to Shuiyun to find the shopkeeper. As long as you are not a criminal offender, the Zhang family will definitely help you. Get up quickly, the ground is cold."

When he cried, the people also started crying, and they were reluctant to let Zhang Zhong go. Zhang Zhong was here, so they had a backbone, but they also knew that Zhang Zhong had been promoted and went to a very far place.

"Sir, think of a way to do it there. After returning to our Yaozhou as the governor, we will be together again. A few days ago, I bought two horses and prepared to make money by pulling goods. If you have goods, I will do it for nothing."

One of the people in the crowd shouted loudly. He was still smart and knew how to keep Zhang Zhong here without affecting his future.

With him on the way, other people also talked about their plans at home. The voices were messy, and Zhang Zhong couldn't hear them clearly, but he was still standing at the bow of the boat. The people also knew that the adults could not hear what they were saying, but they still had to finish their words. It seemed that if they said it, their lives would be better in the future.

The old man stood at the bow of the boat, looked and listened, and said to his son beside him: "I saw that it was actually easy to be a good official. In the future, Zhang Zhongzhen came back to serve as a governor in Yaozhou. As long as he issued a decree, he would not be hindered. The people's hearts could be used."

This is the first time that Bi Kang has seen so many people see off for him. In addition to the people already here, there are also people from far away who are coming one after another. When he heard his father's words, he agreed:

"It's amazing. Where Zhang Zhong is there, the people can live a good life. The people of Luzhou are now blessed, and Zhang Zhong will be content in this life. Just as Xiaobao said, let his father stand in the center of thousands of people and feel the brightness. One day if I can do this, I will die without regrets."

After the people finished talking about their plans for the new year, their voices gradually subsided. At this time, Zhang Zhong also set sail. In addition to the people from the inner courtyard of Zhang and Wang's family, they also brought some extra people, doctors, craftsmen, Fang Liuer's family and the family that regards boats as their family.

Waiting for the group of people to get on the boat, the boat that Zhang Zhong was riding first came to the old man, said hello, and said something, then turned the bow of the boat and headed towards the direction of the capital.

The remaining people who were seeing off were standing there watching, and even though the boat had become a small dot, they still looked around until the small dot could not be seen. Many people started crying again, crying and helping the Zhang family load the cargo onto the boat.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan on the boat also cried, their eyes were red, and Zhang Xiaobao stood at the bow of the boat and said in the wind: "Is the governor of Yaozhou? Okay, the next official is here."
