Chapter 1 The people work for food
Chapter 1: People work to eat
Zhang Xiaobao listened carefully, and Li Xun told Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan all he knew. Only then did Zhang Xiaobao realize that there were not so many redundant officials in the downtown area like this, it was not that there could be such a position, but that no one would come.
Luzhou didn't even register and join the army. Zhang Zhong was arrested in a military and political manner. As for how many soldiers there were, it was hard to say. If the whole people were soldiers, there should be people from four counties, about 7,000 people. If the soldiers were recruited according to the original method... This...
"Thanks to our own training of 65 people, otherwise we would have to feed here how much food we have to feed our bodies first?" Wang Juan said with lingering fear.
Zhang Xiaobao continued to look and found that there were fewer yamen runners who did not follow him. They even had patches on their clothes, and even the same was true for a county magistrate's clothes.
Next to my father was standing a man wearing the same color of clothes as my father. The crimson clothes told others that this was a fourth-rank official, but the official uniform on that man seemed to be between dark red and light red. Which dyeing workshop dyed it? It was amazing.
With the officials, the onlookers finally knew that the person coming was not a robber, but a new high-ranking official. The people were not interested in who came. They were curious about the eighteen large ships. Under the introduction of the four county magistrates and the governor who could already go back, the people knew that the new governor was surnamed Zhang, and a very young man.
He also brought the boat. If you want to ask yourself and others to help build a temporary dock, then start working. Such a large official makes it impossible to stop working.
More than a thousand people who are strong compared to others have started to get busy. Those who look for tools are looking for tools and those who cut down trees. This is the people of a county, and those who don’t know about it elsewhere.
The older people sat aside to direct the situation. The little kids were curious. Some were playing on the beach, some jumped into the water and swam a distance to the boat. They were also called by their families on the shore. They didn't go back even when they stepped on the water, and just stopped there and watched.
Zhang Xiaobao was sitting on the boat. When he saw the people working, he looked at the sky. It was noon for a while. According to the rules of the Zhang family, others should prepare meals when working, and the merchants should prepare everything for them, let alone these people worked for nothing.
"Huzi, take your people to change to water and jump off for me. The chef on the boat will also deliver some ingredients to the shore. You are responsible for protecting it."
Zhang Xiaobao ordered Hu Zi standing behind him, "Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, training for so long, and giving them a massage after having a good meal and drinking. It's time to pull them out and go out.
"Yes!" Huzi agreed, turned around and shouted at the fifty-five other people: "Everyone has it, change clothes, go into the water for escort."
Everyone responded, turned around in place, raised their arms to their chest, and took neat steps to change their clothes.
After a while, fifty-six people ran back again, wearing water made of fish skin, and there was a small bag made of fish skin tightly close to the waist. He held a pair of very thin steel cones with two feet long and bladed sides in his hand.
Standing on the side of the boat one after another, Hu Zi took a deep breath and shouted: "Jump!"
Fifty-six people jumped down from the boat nearly four meters high at the same time, turned over in the air, put their heads down and feet together, and protected their heads. When they entered the water, they made a thump. When their bodies turned slightly in the water, all the parts of their chests were exposed to the water.
Li Xun had never seen these people train. When he looked at them, he was in the queue. Looking at the fifty-six people who were placing a queue in the water, he stared at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in surprise and asked, "How did you train? Don't tell me to walk out of this by walking in the queue."
"Rational matching of diet, scientifically arrange training programs, and the instructor's patient teaching, and their *** consciousness, so the training is done." Wang Juan started to slander at Li Xun.
Li Xun is no longer surprised. He often hears all kinds of strange words and says to the two of them: "Then help me train, and just follow what you said, the queue is not needed. I usually train myself."
The three of them chatted easily, but the people on the shore were not at this time. Everyone, including Zhang Zhong, was surprised. Who was coming off the boat? The person with far-sighted eyes saw that the people jumping off the boat were wrapped in light black things from head to toe, and only their eyes and mouth were exposed.
"Governor Zhang, you also brought these people?" Huaqing County Magistrate Huo Qisheng asked in a low voice.
Zhang Zhong knew that these were the sixty-five people. He had watched them by his side when he was a water maker, but he didn't expect that his son and his daughter-in-law would be so powerful after training like they wanted to play.
After hearing the question, he nodded, "Yeah, it was brought by me. It was used to protect the young seedlings at home. I don't know what to jump down for, it's so tall."
After Zhang Zhong finished speaking, he didn't even believe him. He used such a person to protect Xiao Miaoer? But that's the fact, Team Zero of the Turbulent Miao Protecting Team.
Huo Qisheng naturally would not say anything refuted, and nodded with a smile, "So that's it. It seems that the adults should have good farming. You can tell by looking at the people who protect the seedlings."
"It's okay. When last autumn harvest was harvested, there were a little less rice. They were only three stones more. They could only get a lot of rice. They could harvest five stones. I just don't know what would happen if they planted here." Zhang Zhong said the truth this time.
Unfortunately, Huo Qisheng didn't believe in what kind of rice seeds? What kind of rice can produce five stones of rice in acre? Thinking of this in his heart, he still agreed: "The adult family is indeed extraordinary, and the people of this state will have a good life in the future."
The officials around were also listening, not believing it, thinking that the new governor liked to speak loudly, and a little disagreeing, and preparing to continue to do their own things like before.
The people also saw the person who jumped down. He jumped from such a high place and was still facing down. He was very capable. He was wearing light black clothes and looked a little tired in the water. If he waited until night, no one would notice them.
People who have their own children in the water quickly forgot to greet them, fearing that those people will not be good for the children.
Zhang Xiaobao stood on the deck, looked at sixty-five people, and said to Wang Juan: "The color of this water is a bit dark. Let's go back and make a set of dark blue, otherwise it will be a bit conspicuous during the day."
Wang Juan also discovered it, nodded, and wanted to get them something to ignite, a small airbag plus a stone, otherwise it would not sink.
Li Xun listened next to him, feeling that what the two of them said seemed not simple, "What exactly do your family want to do? They specially train such a group of people. What about protecting your family on land? Where are they in the water?"
"Protect the seedlings." Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said at the same time.
"Okay, then you can protect me. Let me see what kind of seedlings will grow in the water." Li Xun didn't believe in protecting the seedlings when he was beaten to death, but there were not many things here. What is the purpose of specializing in training the water army? To attack others? Relying on these fifty-six people?
The three of them found a topic and started chatting. The chef on the boat had already started to move things down like that, and there were about ten small boats underneath.
After a while, the tools and the chef used to cook arrived on the boat first, and estimated that the people on the shore were about 1,5600. He gestured to the people on the boat, and then he began to put various ingredients down. 1,5600 people, not putting down the same amount of ingredients, but the portions of 600 people were added, and the staple food was one thousand.
In addition to these ingredients, there are also top ten jars of pickles. The leading chef understands that people here cannot eat anything good. Once they encounter it, they will definitely eat hard. It is definitely not enough to prepare according to the usual preparation. Even these may not be left, but they cannot make too much.
This ingredient is calculated based on the adult's appetite. The amount of adult's appetite is already quite large. Eating more can easily lead to problems.
The tools were transported first, and fifty-six people swam in the water to protect them, and then continued to transport ingredients. The people in the places where the tools were placed were retreating far away. They surrounded a large circle and watched, but no one dared to approach. The weapons in the hands of fifty-six people were a little scary.
Zhang Zhong was not in a hurry, and he watched slowly, asking the people around him how the harvest was. What did the people do when they went to the yamen? He didn't expect these people to tell the truth, just to find something to say.
"Governor Zhang, I wonder what the people on your boat brought these things down for? Is there no place to cook on the boat?" Zhang Yi, the magistrate of Wulei County, looked at the busy people and avoided Zhang Zhong asking about the security in the county, and instead asked about cooking.
Zhang Zhong was already used to working in other people and was responsible for food at home. He remembered that the people here were not clear and replied: "There is not such a big place on the boat to make these people's meals. There are also many people on the boat. They cook at the same time. After a while, everyone will eat some. Don't worry, they will never feel uncomfortable when eating. They will do it according to the method here."
"What the adults said is to cook for everyone here? Sir, I should be asking you to eat in a better place and welcome you. How can this be done? The people go home to eat after work." A yamen runner plucked up the courage to join in the fun.
Zhang Zhong turned his head to look at the yamen runner and smiled, "Don't bother you, cook food for those who work. My family has always been like this. We can't help you with things in vain. In my spare time, I invite you to a better restaurant to eat. You don't have to save me, and you still have a little savings at home."
Because they were too far away, these people really didn't know what happened to Zhang Zhong's family. The news had not yet been heard. However, after looking at the fleet, I believed it a little, but I couldn't figure out how such a wealth would have gone to Luzhou to become an official? Could it be that he offended someone?
