Chapter 85

"Brother Fan, Brother Jiang, what do you mean by Zhang Zhong?" As Cao Herui and the other two continued to walk to the prefecture government office, Cao Herui asked the other two.

How did Fan Jianxi and Jiang Huanshi understand? The three of them just now couldn't figure out what Zhang Zhong planned when they heard what the servants of the Liu family said.

The people from the three families were arranged elsewhere, but they were not locked up, but they found some work to pay more.

Even their wives have a better life. In fact, at night, they will tell the women among the idle local people, so that they can know more about the outside and what life is like for more wealthier families.

Even the members of the Liu family want this, but the three of them don’t understand. What is the purpose of doing this? Are you still hoping that those ordinary people can live like wealthy families?

"Do you think Zhang Zhong wants to make our family exhausted? Tell others about those things every day. If you don't sleep enough, you may get sick after being tired for some time."

Before Jiang Huanshi figured out the matter, he had to guess like this. He didn't think that Zhang Zhong would be so kind-hearted. The more he thought about it, the stronger his judgment, and began to run away with his tired body. The other two people followed anxiously.

The people from Liu Shaoqing and other four families were indeed asked by Zhang Zhong to do things. The people from the Liu Shaoqing family had fewer things because they had other things, and the people from the other three families came here because the head of the family was gone.

Zhang Zhong did not attack the people from the three families. He also brought them together when he hid on the mountain. When he came back, he started to arrange work. In fact, the purpose was very simple, and the Zhang family's own servants also studied with him.

After all, Zhang Wangshi has no time to teach the family now. She put all her thoughts on the child in her belly, prepared to take good care of her, and gave birth to another child like Zhang Xiaobao or Wang Juan.

In fact, in addition to doing some things they did before, the servants in the family talked about how they thought they could do a good job and how to use their free time to rest. What should the people in the main family do if they lose their temper?

These things come from everyone's mouths. After all, everyone has different understandings. Even the people from the Zhang and Wang families don't have to worry about the master's temper. But listening to them is also very beneficial. Since you don't have special books to learn these things, listening to others' lectures is also a accumulation of experience.

Those women who were resting at night just heard the wives of the three families telling various rules and knowing more about the outside world. Cao and Rui and the other two felt that doing this was useless, but Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't think so.

The two of them felt that this place would develop sooner or later. Now that the infrastructure is almost done, the first phase of construction will be done next year and we will start to enter the second phase.

Then, if this infrastructure is good, it will naturally cultivate the people's centripetal force and enthusiasm, and will become more yearning for future life. In this way, some cultural aspects will begin to be unable to keep up, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan set up a night school for the local people.

It turned out that the two planned to teach the people to read directly, but later they found that these people did not want to learn to read, so they just needed to find a place for their children to learn.

This kind of thing is absolutely not possible. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan do not deny that in the same family, there is only one child studying and the other relatives are all illiterate, the child may have a better future achievement than those children in intellectuals' families.

But this phenomenon is individual. The two people are not pursuing individuals, but the whole. If they want to mobilize the enthusiasm of these people who are unwilling to learn, they must let them know more about the outside world.

It is very good for the wife of Cao and Rui's family to be this teacher. Sometimes, Zhang Wang and Wang Juan's mother also come over to talk about it for a while, especially Zhang Wang. Once he dresses up and takes out the knowledge he has learned to others, the temperament of everyone's style will fascinate everyone.

From sitting and waiting to deal with people, there are still some etiquettes. Even the wives in Cao and Rui's family don't know about these things. In this way, those who listened had an idea that one day their home would do the same.

It is false to be able to live such a life without being moved. Although everyone is still ordinary families now, with so many chambers of commerce, almost every citizen can participate in it. Even if the profit is less, after all, they are part of them. When the chamber of commerce develops in the future, their money will increase accordingly.

If others know more and less, wouldn’t it be a joke? If there is too much wealth in the country, there will be far away. If the land is open and the place is kept, the warehouse is solid and the etiquette is known, and if there is enough food and clothing, the honor and disgrace are known. This is what it means.

It was almost evening today, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were also listening to some flower things. People from the four families and gardeners from the Zhang and Wang families gathered together. They discussed how to plant flowers better and how to match them all in one day.

In the end, the gardeners in the Zhang family learned a lot. After giving a summary, they came up with a lecture program and gave lectures to some people who were preparing to be gardeners in the future.

The status of a craftsman is not high, and he is not as good as a farmer. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan still insist on letting different people learn to become a craftsman, and also asked Zhang Zhong to post a notice that such craftsman can get an extra amount of money every month in the future, not much, but the additional income can touch people's hearts.

Seeing the gardener on the temporary platform talking, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan felt very accomplished and sat down and looked back and forth at the other people.

"Xiaobao, what will this place look like if you say three or five years?" Wang Juan asked Zhang Xiaobao happily.

"If I can't wait for such a long time, I have to make something out first. Two years, preferably one and a half years, then my father will leave. Nowadays, craftsmen must be trained earlier. I can't control what others think of craftsmen, but the status of craftsmen here must be improved."

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the people on the stage and replied to Wang Juan.

"Well, then I'll find more craftsmen from outside. I don't know why these craftsmen cannot get a good position. The more basic they are, the more conducive it is to the development of society. The current society is actually a kind of abnormal development, and it is missing important links such as merchants and craftsmen.

Then it takes a year to form a hundred schools of thought here, and in another half a year, everyone will recognize these craftsmen. One and a half years should be enough. The first step is to not take too much steps and leave a foundation, so that we can continue to follow this path after we leave."

Wang Juan understood that Zhang Xiaobao's thought was to achieve certain achievements in the construction of local areas during the two years of Zhang Zhong's tenure. In this way, Zhang Zhong's ability would be valued by the court and it would be easier to arrange it in the future.

Another point is that Zhang Xiaobao is thinking of teaching everyone here to read and let them know more. If the next governor develops according to the predetermined things, there will be nothing. With the political achievements that should be obtained, there will be no shortage of money that should be obtained.

But if he dares to do this like some officials, he just wants to get benefits, take advantage, embezzle, etc., then he will put him in vain and make him unable to do anything, especially when he meets people who are literate and understand more, it is impossible to deceive the people.

Of course, Wang Juan doesn't think that the plan that Zhang Xiaobao had made after several days would be so simple, so there must be a backup plan. As for what it is, Zhang Xiaobao won't say, and Wang Juan is not in a hurry to ask, and it will naturally be clear at that time.

The gardener on the stage was still talking there. At the beginning, he felt a little nervous and kept muttering in his heart, "No, the people sitting below knew nothing. What I said was what I said, and what I said was also figured out with other gardeners, even if it was a little wrong."

Thinking of this, his voice trembled slightly when he started to speak, but as he spoke, he devoted himself to the content of the lecture, forgetting his fear, and regardless of the individuals below, he spoke more smoothly and better. Similarly, the people below listened more seriously.

"Yes, it seems that this gardener has experienced the benefits of lectures. Maybe he doesn't know it. At this time, he is very confident and he will gradually understand it later."

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the gardener on the stage and gave a high evaluation, and then said: "If such a person feels that he is better than others, he will worry that one day he will be able to surpass him, and he will definitely work harder to study his own affairs in this area. OK.

I decided to wait until these craftsmen can teach the lessons well, and let them summarize how to teach them well and teach them to more people. Then everyone will not be afraid of facing such a situation."

"Yes, give them confidence and make the people in Luzhou have higher ideological levels than other places, so that they will develop faster."

Wang Juan also agreed with this method, which was to form a regional cultural atmosphere and lead the surrounding areas. But when it came here, he was a little worried and said, "But I am afraid that the people here look down on people in other places by then, and always think that they are superior to others. Yes, they are indeed superior to others. So what should I do if I look down on others? Especially when I am humble, I put this kind of contempt in my heart.

In that case, it would be troublesome to communicate with other places. Can you think of some ways to prevent them from doing this? I didn’t expect to see them outside looking down at people in the same country.”

Wang Juan’s worries are reasonable, and Zhang Xiaobao also knew it, but Zhang Xiaobao had no solution to this problem. He shook his head and said, “It is this kind of contempt that can keep this place developing rapidly. I can’t think of a solution.

This is a common problem among human beings. This is the case between countries and regions. In fact, this is also a good thing. For example, it is because of this kind of high-ranking idea that one has the idea of ​​pity and helping the weak.

I think the wrong party cannot be entirely attributed to those who have developed well. If people in poor development can be self-reliant and try their best to catch up, it may not be a promotion.

When I left the orphanage and went out to find a way out, many people looked down on me. These were not those adults. Some of them felt pity for me, gave me food, and some despised me. They were far away from me, afraid that I would stolen them.

The same goes for children. Some people scold me, and some people spit me with their spit. I hated me at that time, but when a child wearing a princess dress gave me a freshly bought ice cream, I felt that the world was not completely indifferent."

Zhang Xiaobao said this and looked at Wang Juan. Wang Juan listened very seriously. She liked to listen to Zhang Xiaobao talk about those past things. She didn't know much. When she was a child, she and Zhang Xiaobao were like people from two worlds.

"Let's talk about it, Xiaobao, let me talk to you again, what's the future?" Wang Juan saw Zhang Xiaobao stop and urged.

"From then, when I was fourteen years old, I got an old child who fell into the water. His family was very rich. I thought so at that time. While playing on a bridge, I crawled out of a fence on a broken bridge and fell into the river. Fortunately, I practiced swimming in the river, so I rescued him.

As a result, when I arrived on the shore, there were so many cars, all of which were Mingcheng, and formed a convoy. I thought that an old man insisted on taking me to his house for dinner. I was frightened by the convoy and stood there stupidly. The child's father wrote me a check, which I didn't know at the time.

I thought he could give me money, but he handed me a piece of paper, but I naturally didn't answer it. I felt that he gave less, and gave me a piece of broken paper, even if I gave me a hundred yuan, there were Chinese characters and numbers on the paper. I still remember it now. There were one numbers, and there were eight zeros and one million at the end, so I glanced at it and didn't answer it."

Wang Juan next to "Gee" suddenly couldn't help laughing, and Zhang Xiaobao also laughed. A cash check of one million was not as good as one hundred yuan.

"Xiaobao, I really admire you. I am not moved when facing one million. It's amazing. Let's continue to say, it's so fun." Wang Juan continued to laugh.

"As a result, the father of the child was slapped by the old man. The old man said to the man that you thought someone saved my grandson because he liked your money? My grandson's life was worth one million. I realized it was one million and regretted it was broken. I thought, if I got it, I would be able to go back to the orphanage to check it out and buy more things for the people there.

But after I took the money back, I naturally couldn't rob it anymore, so I went to the old man's house and had a good meal. The old man originally wanted to arrange something for me to go to school, but I refused. At that time, I talked to the old man and knew a lot of things. People should be self-improvement.

The old man later gave me some money, and I sent it to the orphanage. I filled out a phone number, filled out an ID number, and I actually sent it to the place. Didn’t you understand everything about it later? I chose to be the way to strengthen myself.

I had dealt with that family several times since then. Once I was injured and hid in their home. After they knew about me, they did not call the police and protected me. In their words, they did not care about what crime I committed, they only knew that I had saved their family.

After I left the country and went outside, I worked with them to build some rural roads and schools. I spent a large part of the money and they paid a small part of it. This is also a backhand for my life to get closer. Even if there are problems with those funds, they are still helping with things, and of course, there are other backhands."

The two of them originally said that the improvement of regional culture would make people in this area arrogant, but as they spoke, they talked about Zhang Xiaobao's past, all of which were caused by the topic of self-improvement.

Wang Juan stopped laughing at Zhang Xiaobao's behavior of giving up one million for one hundred yuan. He held Zhang Xiaobao's hand and said, "If everyone could be like you, then the motherland would definitely be very strong. Unfortunately, you have paid so much, but you are destined to be unable to leave a good reputation."

"I am content with what reputation I want. Now that I am here, can't I help the motherland become stronger? Let's go, I will get better in the future. Let's see how their bamboo dance is doing."

Zhang Xiaobao no longer cared about so many things. His psychology was satisfied, so he felt fulfilled and pulled Wang Juan to quietly leave the class and go to the place where he trained others.

After walking for a while, the two stopped to the yard where they were about to enter the sound of bamboos colliding with each other, mixed with the sound of crying pain.

The two of them looked at each other and walked in. They saw some people inside collide with two bamboo poles. There were people beating drums next to them. The drums were not so steadily, and the women who moved the bamboo poles did not all move according to the drum beats. Some men were avoiding the bamboo poles back and forth, and they couldn't escape.

In addition to the sound of crying pain, there are also the laughter of the women who are playing bamboo poles.

"It seems that you have to practice, otherwise, when you arrive at Hainan Island, you will not be able to integrate better with the local people. It will be better if the pain hurts. They are so cruel, they beat hard, haha."

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the scene in front of him and said to Wang Juan.

Wang Juan also covered her mouth and laughed there. I haven't seen this kind of thing for a long time. I encountered it when I was traveling. At that time, men and women were all-round, but it was really folk custom. Here, women came to beat and men danced, so we can only follow this.

When the individuals saw the young master and the little lady, they stopped one after another and came here to let the young master and the little lady come to play together.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head vigorously, "No need, just play. Remember to be serious and don't be able to compare with others. In that case, you will wait for someone to be laughed at."

"Practice quickly, don't treat it as fun, do it as a task, and see it tomorrow. If this is still the case, then I'll be ready to replace people." Wang Juan said standing next to Zhang Xiaobao.

Now everyone dared not be so casual, so they ran over there to continue practicing. Often, the drum beats are basically fixed, but Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan insisted on letting them practice more types, and even the person who danced was not allowed to dance in one posture. In that case, if the people here had new tricks, wouldn't it be troublesome?

The two of them wanted to use cotton as gifts and as things to exchange in the future. They wanted to use things like Chinese knots to impress the Li people, and finally they used this bamboo jumping pole to integrate into that place.

"Let's go and see how their Chinese knots are like." Seeing that the people here were practicing again, Wang Juan pulled Zhang Xiaobao to the other place.

At this time, Cao and Rui also found their family members. When they saw their family members, the three of them were stunned. They thought that these people in the family would definitely be pale and thin. After all, they ran out secretly for so long, and the family still owed money.

In that case, life would be very hard, but I didn’t expect that when I saw the servants at home, they would be full of red faces. Then there was no need to mention the relatives at home. Unless these servants had left the house and went out to find a way out, it would be impossible for the servants to have a good health, and the master's family would be poor.

The three of them still looked in a mess now. Fortunately, the servants in their family could still recognize the master. As soon as they saw the three of them, the servants in Cao Herui's family ran over and looked at the master and said, "Master, what are you doing? Hurry up, the master is back, please come in and tell the lady quickly, and prepare food, water for bathing, and take out a set of clothes."

The servant asked and immediately shouted at the other side.

When he shouted, the other side became chaotic, but it soon recovered and the people in the family came out to greet him. When he saw Cao Herui's appearance, Cao Herui's wife and concubine cried and pulled him home. This was a temporary home for them. In the past, the place was too far away, so it could not stay.

"You guys are doing well?" Cao Herui asked, pulling his wife.

"Okay, fortunately, there is no shortage of food or clothing. I just don't have much spare money. After making some money, I will pay off my debts. Master, what did you do? Is the governor Ning not caring about you?"

Cao Herui's wife said with distress, the other concubines were only anxious, but they did not dare to come over, after all, the eldest lady was there.

"It's okay, it will be better in the future. Isn't Zhang Zhong difficult for you?" After Cao Herui entered the yard of his house, he found that there was no place on his body that was not uncomfortable, and his whole body and mind relaxed, so he felt it was not easy.

"Don't worry, Master, Zhang Zhong not only did not make things difficult for us, but also found something for us to do. Now the money has been paid back a lot, and the profit is high, but we have made a lot of money." Cao Herui's eldest wife said happily.
