Cao Herui didn't expect that it would be like this. He knew how difficult it would be for the money he owed. Only that profit would be profitable every month, which made people unable to pay it back. But his wife actually said that she could pay it back. How much wages would be enough? What did this family do?

When Cao Herui's face sank when he thought of this, he looked at his wife and the concubines, and asked, "Did Zhang Zhong ask you to go to the fireworks land? Otherwise, where did you get so much money?"

This scared everyone, and the eldest lady quickly said, "Master, how can there be any fireworks place? Everyone is working here now. Even if you create a fireworks place, no one will go. Master, it's not like that. We are going to teach others. In fact, we just talk about things they don't know, which gives a lot of money.

The same is true for the family. The gardener gets a lot of money. It is only the sum of these money that pays off the debt bit by bit. Master, what good news do you bring when you come back this time?"

"Oh, so that's it. I'm just telling others about things? Is there nothing wrong with the Zhang family's people? I'll pay for such a thing. I'll just find you, so I dare not not tell me, right?"

When Cao Herui heard that it was not the case, he felt relieved. As his wife said, everyone in Luzhou is busy now and has no time to go to any fireworks place, not even such a place.

But he just didn't know how Zhang Zhong would give his family a wage. As long as his family members were bullied here, they had to endure it. They really couldn't figure it out.

The eldest lady pulled Cao Herui to the bathing place and said, "Master, they said that giving us such labor is not for us, but for teachers. The more useful the things taught to others, the more the teacher should gain. Otherwise, how can the teacher teach others without food teach?

Of course, they also emphasized that you must have teacher ethics, otherwise such people will not be worthy of being a teacher. I teach the most seriously, so the more money I get, and in fact I have learned a lot. Zhang Zhong’s wife, Zhang Wang, is so powerful, and knows a lot of things that I don’t know.”

"Well, as long as you don't make things difficult for you, it seems that Zhang Zhong is a gentleman. I think it's a bad idea, and life will be better in the future. This time I took a lot of money back. In addition to the money I paid back, I can still have a part left. You have already paid back some, so there will be more left."

Cao Herui felt his face a little hot. He always thought that Zhang Zhong would bully his family hard. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhong never did that, but took care of him. Although he had no spare money, he had a good hope and had no shortage of food and clothing. In this way, the people in the family could be so red.

Next, Cao Herui and the eldest wife went to take a shower together, doing some things while taking a shower. At the same time, Cao Herui also told the past, including someone to beat him in front of the yamen gate, and telling the wife about everything he encountered when he came back.

The other two families are basically the same. When they can meet again, their families are worried about the master when they are happy, especially when they talk about that moment, everyone stared at the eyes wide. Even though they knew that the master was fine, they were still scared.

The news of the three people returning soon reached the Zhang family. Zhang Xiaobao sighed helplessly. He really wanted these people to suffer more, but when the three people came back, it meant that things had turned around.

"Xiaobao, think of another way. Otherwise, if they recover, wouldn't they have the energy to cause trouble again? And they still have the guilt, so they can't let them go so easily."

After Wang Juan learned about this, he asked Zhang Xiaobao to continue to find a way to deal with the people from the three families. The one named Liu would be fine. After all, he surrendered at the critical moment. No matter what, at least he did it very seriously when organizing the personnel, and he completed it very well.

Zhang Xiaobao ***ed his temple and said, "This matter may not work. They were guilty before, but there was no evidence. If they wanted to sentence them, they had to find evidence. If they left their posts, they would not be able to judge them. Moreover, when they came back, they would have to get money and could not threaten them in terms of debts.

Wait, I can only wait a moment to see if they will do what they did before. If they still give up, they will find out the problem at that time. Even if they plot against them now, they will not be fooled. I guess they will have some money left and do nothing first to seek stability. In this way, my tricks will be useless. How can people be deceived if they are not greedy?"

"What about the sin? They have been away for so long, and it is also a sin that they are not sentenced to seriousness. At least their official position will be taken down." Wang Juan just didn't want to let them go easily, and wanted to make a fuss in this regard.

Zhang Xiaobao also thought about this, but since the three of them have returned from Qinzhou, they thought that there would definitely be some price to exchange for the stability of the three of them. What is not important is an attitude issue. Moreover, the sentence for the three of them to be sentenced to leave their posts is meaningless, and it is not harmful to the will of heaven.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaobao suggested: "This is the case first. You can't let the three of them go too easily, but you can't use that matter as an excuse to make them pay back the money first, then lock it up and knock it, just for others to show it, and finally let them come out.

It depends on what my father thinks. If my father wants someone to take, then he will be beaten and let them do things. The more tired they are, the better they will do it. They don’t have to worry about not being able to do it. If my father insists on killing them, then use that excuse to report it layer by layer, write a memorandum, and let the court judge it. It doesn’t seem to be of great use.”

Zhang Xiaobao had already thought about the matter clearly, which was not that simple, especially the Ning family members. As long as they found a reason, they took the person away, and asked someone to go there to help with the disaster relief, and said they were sending someone to say hello. As a result, the sent person did not tell the news here after something happened. At worst, the Ning family members took the blame and sent someone to punish him casually. The superiors knew what, but for the sake of stability there, they would not deal with the Ning family members.

Wang Juan pouted her mouth, and she had no good way to make the three of them unlucky. As Zhang Xiaobao said, if someone didn't care about the money outside at all, she could really survive the remaining amount by herself.

As expected, Zhang Zhong received a letter from Governor Ning. As Zhang Xiaobao guessed, Governor Ning took all the blame, hoping that Zhang Zhong could handle it in the commons, and praised what Zhang Zhong did here, and also said the contents of the submitted memorandum.

After reading the letter, Zhang Zhong knew that the crime was not easy to be sentenced, so he took it all over. If he really wanted to write a memorial and handed it over, he had to bring the governor of Qinzhou with him. At that time, the Ning family members were cleared up a little, and this would be left alone. The most important thing is to do this, so that the Ning family could only be busy, unable to touch the root cause, and aggravated the hatred.

Zhang Zhong didn't want to see this incident, and he really wrote a memorial. Then, when the Ning family was busy, they would have less energy to put on the local people, and the people would definitely not have a good life.

Of course, Zhang Zhong did not know that after Governor Ning wrote a memorial to praise him, in order to shirk responsibility, he wrote another memorial to push the crime to him. The two memorials would be delivered to the court one by one, and the Ning family began to prepare to take action against him, especially in terms of economics.

As expected, Cao Herui and the other three were not as good as Zhang Zhong. They just locked up first and said that they would wait until they were asked clearly before they could be released. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Herui and the other three paid back the money, and the three families became stable all of a sudden. In addition, the people at home have been working as teachers for others. This life is not only not sad, but is getting better and better.

Zhang Xiaobao couldn't put out so much energy to calculate, so he could only temporarily put it aside, and look at the performance of the three people, and put more energy into the basic cultural aspects here.

Not only is it just asking teachers to teach the people here in the night school, but also those schools, which require people, especially the faculty. How can the people here be teachers in their studies? When Zhang Xiaobao was worried about where to find a teacher, Wang Juan said to him:

"Xiaobao, I think we can still build a college here, especially in Guangzhou Prefecture. Now there are many people teaching there, so it's better..."

"Yes, I'm here to get someone from there. Grandpa Bi is still here at our door, so I can be the principal again. Let's go and find Grandpa Bi, what should I have for dinner?"

Zhang Xiaobao was happy when he heard this. He and Wang Juan had not taken time to study with the old man these days. The old man also knew that they were busy with everything and did not disturb them. In this way, they now realized that there was still someone with great ability to stay here.

The two of them came to the old man's yard, but they did not find anyone. The servant said they had gone to the nursing home, and the old man Zhang, the old housekeeper of Zhang Jiuling's family, also went back to the nursing home.

Although the water is not small, most of them are taken away by the river. There is nothing wrong with the house here, and people who should live there can still be residency. When the two of them arrived at the nursing home, Bi Gou and Old Man Zhang played billiards there, which was amazing.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan can't make such good materials to make this billiard ball. The case is easy to deal with. As long as you make it with fine plush, you can only be extravagant about the ball. You use ivory, which is really not cheap.

The club is simple, just find wood to make it. With talc powder, a billiard entertainment activity began to rise. This thing has already been sent by a boat to the capital. At that time, the emperor will have it. As for how other people are divided, it depends on the emperor's meaning.

The billiards were played, but not many people could enter the bag. The two old men were actually playing in a confused way now. Although there were rules, they were divided according to suits. At that time, whoever scored all the suits and colors first won, even if the two people won, how could they adjust the position of the ball?

Instead, he used the cue ball to hit the color ball he should have. As a result, he often failed to hit the ball on his own and hit the opponent's ball.

Although Old Man Zhang's original ability is not bad, this matter is different from playing basketball. When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came in, they saw Old Man Zhang playing tricks there. His shot only hit the edge of the white ball, and the ball did not move much distance at all. He wanted to continue to hit another shot, but Old Man Bi disagreed and reasoned with Old Man Zhang there.

The other old men and ladies were watching the fun there, and no one went to stop them. Instead, they were just a fun thing, and it was really good to make noise.

"Hey~! I said you guys, it was obvious that someone else touched me from behind, but I accidentally touched the white ball. It was not something I wanted to hit. How could you just say that I hit it?"

Old Man Zhang wanted to take the ball back to the position he had just done, but Old Man Bi just said he would do nothing, and he found an excuse.

"Don't talk nonsense. There was no one behind you that was so close, so how could you touch you? Besides, even if you touch you, your pole shouldn't be stretched out so long. It's clear that you are exerting force yourself. Do you think this is the case?"

Old Man Bi did not give in at all, and asked other people to prove it. The old men and the old ladies were afraid that the matter would not be messy enough, so they were divided into two groups, one group said that someone had touched it, and the other group said that no one had touched it, and it was impossible to figure it out for a while.

"Old man Bi, you have been so many officials at least, but in the end you retreated from the position of Shangshu. Why didn't you see how you were when you were an official? Isn't you just a little more? Can't you let me? I'll play again and put the ball back."

Old Man Zhang was rubbing the club with talc powder, and as if he had given up, he insisted that Old Man Bi get the ball back. He said this to this point. In theory, Old Man Bi gave in, but who knew that Old Man Bi did not give up at all, holding the ball in his hand and said:

"What kind of official is different from now on. Without rules, you can't make a square meter. If you really put this ball back, then others will still abide by the rules in the future. No, it's my turn. Don't stand there. Did you just ignore the rules when you were a housekeeper?"

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had already come close to each other at this time. I thought it was very interesting when I listened to what the two of them said. It seemed that the old man would sometimes be petty.

When Old Man Bi saw two people, he immediately said to the two people as if he had found a backup, "Xiaobao, Juanjuan, tell me, should you two let Old Man Zhang play again? He could have accidentally touched the ball by himself just now, and now he doesn't want to admit it.

Let me tell you two. If you say you want him to fight once, then let him go. If you don’t, then I will fight. This matter must not be so easy. This thing was figured out by you two, and what you two said is the most accurate."

Old Man Zhang also saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and said, "That's right, what's the rule? If you accidentally touch it, why can't you fight again? It's all for fun, why should you be so strict? Let's talk about it, what should you do?"

The billiards game was created by Zhang Xiaobao. He played well, so he naturally knew the rules. But he didn't expect that Old Man Zhang would not follow the rules. Now he was in a dilemma. Wang Juan didn't know who to go to.

The people around him looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, wanting to see how the two of them would judge this matter.

"Xiaobao, talk, you wrote the rules of this game." Wang Juan didn't know what to do, so he asked Zhang Xiaobao to make an idea. Zhang Xiaobao smiled bitterly, "I did the rules right, but this matter is not within the rules, but Grandpa Zhang is not going to do it according to the rules."

Zhang Xiaobao didn't directly say what should be done there, but he was talking to Wang Juan with a loud voice. When he said that, Old Man Zhang couldn't hold on his face. Zhang Xiaobao's meaning was very clear. If you want to play according to the rules, you have to find it. If you don't follow the rules, then you can do whatever you want.

"Okay, okay, let me fight, I'll let you fight." Old man Zhang finally stopped forcing himself. He felt that doing this was not good for the two kids, so he gave up the place.

Old Man Bi was very happy and looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and said, "Yes, some things must be done according to the rules, otherwise it will be easy for people to do things without the rules. In this way, if the businessmen do not have the rules, there will be more disputes. If some officials do not have the rules and do things according to the law, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

Zhang Xiaobao didn't expect that he would help him once, and Old Man Bi began to talk about his father. In fact, it was mainly because he sometimes did not follow the rules, such as killing. The death penalty could not be sentenced casually by the governor of his state, and he had to hand it over to the upper layers.

It seems that many people are not satisfied with this matter, but seeing that my father needs to establish his authority for the first time, and those individuals deserve to die, they turned a blind eye to one eye. Then you should pay attention in the future and not leave too many handles.

In fact, Zhang Xiaobao understood that Grandpa Bi deliberately pointed out his father, and let him know that some things cannot be done too much, otherwise he would not be able to restrain himself. If he breaks away from his original intention in the future, he will cause harm to others.

In fact, there are no such situations that you do not follow the rules. Not to mention the Zhang family, even the other aristocratic families, even the emperor, cannot follow the rules completely, but there is a problem with the degree.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded and said, "I will tell my father about this when I go back. When my father is studying in school, he will talk to the students about this issue. People cannot have their own things, otherwise they will be like wild horses that are out of control. It is easy to get into trouble. We must grasp the relationship."

Old Man Bi was satisfied now. He was really afraid that the Zhang family would finish the work this time, and he would still think about continuing to do it in the future. In that case, no matter how many achievements Zhang Zhong did, it would be unbearable.

Seeing Zhang Xiaobao say this, he knew that Zhang Xiaobao had already understood what he meant. When he sighed that Zhang Xiaobao was smart, he also thought to try his best to maintain the Zhang family and not let Zhang Zhong go to the fork.

After saying this, Old Man Bi started playing the ball and hit it out with a bang, but Old Man Zhang laughed out loud.

"Okay, this ball is very good. Thank you, Old Man Bi, for helping me score one. I'll ask you to play again, maybe you can help me score another one."

Old Man Zhang was so happy. He was afraid that Old Man Bi would score the ball that was about to enter the hole below. Now, he hit his own ball into the hole and squeezed out the ball that should have been scored.

Old Man Bi felt very depressed, but he still signaled Old Man Zhang to come and play. Looking at Old Man Zhang's proud look, he said, "Be careful, I'm on the ball left on the table. I'm pitiful, so I'll help you score one. I'll show mercy after a while."

"You must be merciless, otherwise you will hit my ball again in a while. Wouldn't that be hard to say, hahahahaha~!"

Old man Zhang actually shook his head, which made the people around him laugh. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the two old men would be so fun to get together.

There were only six balls left on the table, and seven balls were counted as white. The two of them actually played for two quarters of an hour before it was over.

Zhang Xiaobao watched the ball on the table being re-set and suddenly said, "Grandpa Bi, Grandpa Zhang, let me play the same ball with you two. You two play the same ball, I will play the same ball myself, and then the three of them will take turns to play, that is to say, you two play twice, I will only play once, how about it?"

As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he brought a stool from the side. He was too short and he couldn't beat it without stepping on the stool.

The two old men discussed it together, nodded in agreement, thinking that there would be no problem for two people to play one. As a result, after Old Man Bi exploded the ball with one shot, the two men never encountered the ball again, and Zhang Xiaobao cleared the table with one shot.

This was really too easy for Zhang Xiaobao. Someone actually exploded the ball directly. The most important thing is that this hole is bigger than usual, because he is afraid that the old man and the old lady will not be able to hit it. It is considered a cheaper Zhang Xiaobao. If the hole is bigger, it will be much easier, let alone the hole is half bigger.

Zhang Xiaobao used all kinds of rod methods such as shrinking head, slugging, plugging, and stuffing left and right. Perhaps in good condition, he added a stool and shot a gun. Seeing the ball jumping up and falling on the case and rolling into the bag, the game was over.
