Chapter Five

Chapter 5: Who will dissuade who will

It is a distant thing to repair the dock and build warships. The nearby thing is that when it is about to have supper, the four disappeared sermons arrived, one by one, and the four of them were wearing official uniforms and came together in cars. In each car, there was a follower in the driver.

The four of them got out of the car, dusted off the non-existent ashes on their bodies, and greeted them with a tacit understanding.

"I am Liu Shaoqing, Si Gong, and I don't know if the lord is here, so I'm negligent." A man said first.

The person next to him immediately introduced himself, "Sir, I am the military officer of Sikuang and the military officer of Siku. Cao Herui."

"Si Bing joined the army and Si Shi joined the army Fan Jianxi." The third person also said.

The fourth person smiled the brightest, "Sir, you finally came. I thought you would have to live some days, oh, I am Jiang Huanshi, the judicial officer, just leave it to us if you have anything to do in the future."

Zhang Zhong did not laugh, looked at the four people with a stern face and asked, "I wonder what the four of them are not in the prefecture, so what are they busy with?"

"Thank you for your concern." Fan Jianxi, the Si Bing and the Si Bing Army, replied, and then said, "Sir, don't look at the lack of soldiers in the mansion, but the water conservancy thing you should do is not miss. There is a lot of rain in the state, and if you are not careful, you will cause disasters. I have been guarding the foot of the mountain these days. As long as the sky is cloudy, I will be worried."

"Yes, sir, although the rent has been paid, those things still need to be sorted out. I will go from house to house to see if anyone has found something again, otherwise the land supply this year will be difficult to handle."

The person who said this was Sicang's army and Sihu's army Cao Herui. Sigong's army Liu Shaoqing also said, "I don't know. The people here are less educated. I have to look at them one by one to teach the people what is good and what is bad."

Before the last person could speak, Zhang Zhong asked without asking: "Is Jiang Zengjun busy going to various places to check the case? Yes, I just like such a deputy and put all my thoughts on his post, otherwise I would be ashamed of the emperor's kindness and sorry to the people. Thank you for your hard work, the food there is already ready, so let's go eat together."

As soon as he heard that it was eating, Fan Jianxi, among the four, burped and faced Zhang Zhong's inquiring gaze, explained: "Haha, sir, I've eaten it, I've dealt with it casually. I'm so busy. Take some time and eat quickly, otherwise I won't have any time to go to eat specifically."

"Well, I am not very busy and have free time, so I can eat during the meal time. The rice here is about to be harvested in half a month, and the next crop will be planted soon. You have to work harder. Oh, since you have eaten it, it is better to tell me what I have to do, what is going on with each person? I will listen while eating."

Zhang Zhong seemed not to hear what Fan Jianxi meant, so he raised his legs and walked towards the place where he was getting food, and called four people.

The four of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and suddenly there was a smile on their lips. Fan Jianxi quickly followed two steps and said, "Governor Zhang, I didn't care about this specific matter, I just went to check it everywhere. There was also a county magistrate below. If you want to know some detailed information, you can go to each county to inquire."

"That is to say you can't say it? Yes? Then what's the use of you? Why not transfer it to a useful place and I will give the court a note to you in the evening." Zhang Zhong was still expressionless and did not give the four people any face when he spoke.

"Thank you, sir, I really don't want to do it here anymore. Why don't you take over what I'm waiting for now? Then I won't have to worry about the affairs in the state." Cao Herui also interrupted.

They thought that Zhang Zhong did not dare to do this, otherwise things in the entire state would be in chaos. Just because Zhang Zhong wanted to do things well, it would be impossible. Use this trick to force Zhang Zhong to retreat.

While Cao Herui was talking, he took the seal over, and it seemed that he really wanted to do this.

The other three people followed suit and came to Zhang Zhong with their seals. Zhang Zhong glanced at the four people and sneered: "Since the four people think they can't do it anymore, then I will not be polite."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhong quickly grabbed the six seals and ordered the crowd in his inner courtyard: "Take the seals over, from now on, all the staff in Luzhou will be fully prepared. Xiangyun, since you have brought you, you will naturally have to arrange an errand for you, and you will help others figure out what they don't understand."

Zhan Kaijin stood up happily. It turned out that he was the head of the county. Although he had no specific position now, he would probably arrange an official for him, even if he was a free position, and at least he could do practical things.

More than twenty people immediately stood up in the inner courtyard. If each person had a seat, they could really support the state government.

Zhang Zhong said at this time: "Since you have lost your seal, then take it back, and I will write on the memorial that you four will resign because you are conscious of being unable to do good things. I will ask someone to take the post of the four of you first."

"Governor Zhang, wait a minute. I just saw the adult with a stern face and said a few jokes to make the adult laugh. How could he voluntarily resign? I also asked the adult to hand over the seal to us."

When Liu Shaoqing saw that Zhang Zhong was prepared, he was a little nervous. If the seal was handed over, how could he do things in the future? Zhang Zhong was too brave and actually took the seal. It was the matter of the court that the placement and collection of seals were the affairs of the court.

"Then come and get it by yourself, and take one by one. The Sihu and Sibing's official have other arrangements. Remember in the future, I don't like the people below to make fun of me."

Zhang Zhong naturally had no right to collect the prints, but he had the right to arrange free seats. Four people occupied six seats, which was obviously wrong. He accepted two so that he could arrange them for his own people.

As he said that, Zhang Zhong put away the seals of Sibing and Sihu and gave out only the remaining four seals.

"What Governor Zhang said is that this should be true. I won't joke anymore in the future." Liu Shaoqing looked gloomy and stepped forward to take back the four seals. There is no need to count on those two. The Governor has the right to arrange his free position and find someone to do his job on his behalf. As for whether he can really get this position, it depends on how the court arranges it.

The four of them suffered a loss and failed to get the sensation. Instead, they were taught a lesson, which made the four of them feel bad and they were ready to go back.

Zhang Zhong did not intend to let them go, and handed the seal in charge of the Sihu to Zhan Kaijin's hand, "Xiangyun, you will be in charge of money, grain, taxes and other matters in the future."

Zhan Kaijin didn't expect to arrange things so quickly, and happily received it from his hands, "Don't worry, the younger ones will definitely do the things for you. This younger ones will be the mastermind, no matter how small ones say they have also been the mastermind."

Zhang Zhong nodded to him, looked at the four people again, and said, "Since you have eaten and have nothing to do, then stay and wait until the official finishes his meal and go back to the state. I still have something to ask about, but I don't know how the residence of the state prefecture is."

"Governor Zhang asked about his residence? There is a place that is not small, but it is a little tide, so I can't get used to being a governor Shi." Fan Jianxi replied next to him, but he laughed in his heart. It's not just a little tide there. There is no need to say much about the tide at the beach. Only the place where he lives is more concave and water always seeps out from the underground.

When the houses where people live, two inches of water will accumulate, and there will be no place that will not hurt when they move in. The governor has no money to buy a house outside, so he can only live there. I don’t know how this newcomer comes.

Zhang Zhong nodded slightly. He was not worried about the humidity at all. He had already made preparations when he came. There was nothing better to use to absorb moisture than lime. Then he just sprinkle some in various places.

Zhang Xiaobao stood beside him but frowned, thinking about how fashionable it would be. The Zhang family didn't want to buy a house outside to live in. If something happened suddenly, there would be no time to react. For example, if an unexpected situation occurs, it is different from living in a house outside because it is not enough to deal with it in a house outside. It is easy for people to impeach it when they are outside.

The meal was already started at this time, and the people were fighting first. When there were fewer people, Zhang Zhong would go and get one. Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan and Li Xun were also waiting. This time, Li Xun found an excuse to treat the disease and was not ready to indicate his identity. Then he bought a yard next to the yamen and lived in a house. When he was fine, he would talk to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to play.

The dishes at night are still the same. The staple food is pork patties and some wine, which makes the people really feel Zhang Zhong's kindness, especially the wine, which is usually not drinkable and is too expensive. People who go to sea to fish like to drink some wine. They have to go out to sea before dawn in the morning. When the sun rises, some fishing boats are also coming back one after another.

It is also cool and foggy, so drinking a little wine will be much more comfortable.

Whether it is a worker or a person who doesn't work, they all get half a bowl. There is no way, the degree is too high, not the kind that is distilled.

People don’t care what kind of wine they are, they just need to drink it. They sip it in small sips, eat dishes from time to time, and the pork patties are also good.

The old man also came over while eating, and also drank in small sips there with a bowl. He slapped his mouth and stopped coughing. He came to Zhang Zhong who was eating and said, "Sir Zhang, this wine is a good thing. Many people who go to sea to fish will feel aching on their joints. If they can drink some wine in the future, it will be much better."

Zhang Zhong was eating and couldn't speak. He nodded to show that he knew. He looked at his son again. The son returned a confident look, and Zhang Zhong felt relieved now.

Although the four people who could not leave were already having dinner, it took more than an hour to get here from the place where they were eating. Now they see the delicious food and smell the food, and they are a little hungry, but they are not easy to come forward to eat. They can only look at each other and think about what kind of expression Zhang Zhong will look like when he arrives at the mansion.
