Chapter 101

It was raining lightly, and Ning Zhongze stood in front of the window and looked at the slight rain lines outside. He felt a misty feeling in a trance. The ground was not as splashing bubbles as it did in summer when the rain was too much. The rustling sound seemed to never stop.

"The New Year will be in another month, and this year should still be so lively, right?"

Ning Zhongze muttered to himself, the wind blowing in from outside, hitting him with a hint of chill, and shivered slightly.

Putting the window wider, Ning Zhongze returned to the chair and sat down, stroked the delicate and smooth armrests of the chair with his hands. He couldn't tell what it felt like.

"Master, I'm having a meal." As the knock on the door, the housekeeper stood outside in the corridor reminded.

"Don't worry, let them eat first. Come in and ask you something." Ning Zhongze had no idea of ​​eating, and seemed not hungry.

"Master, what do you want to know?" The butler pushed open the door and stood respectfully beside Ning Zhongze, and asked softly.

"What have Zhang Zhong from Luzhou done recently? I mean to send someone to persuade local people to go to Luzhou." Ning Zhongze stroked the broken hair on his forehead that was chaotic by Fengshui just now and asked.

"When I say that, no, since more than 10,000 people have passed, only 5,000 people have followed him later, and the other people are still safe."

The housekeeper replied carefully and deliberately said the matter of more than 5,000 people who went there later were a little bit plain. He knew that the master was in a bad mood now, and the impeachment memorandum had worked. The court did not continue to hold the responsibility. The Ning family avoided it once, but this was the only effect. There was nothing there. Zhang Zhong had no matter what. The court had never sent anyone to investigate, and he didn't even see the decree of reprimanding.

Who said that the emperor was far away? It seemed that the court had known about what happened here for a long time. Zhang Zhong was safe and sound. The news he bought from the capital was that the emperor suppressed all the notes that impeached Zhang Zhong, or that he would stay in the Central Secretariat and stop directly from the Central Secretariat, and no one in the Branch could see it.

This is the bias. If it is normal, the Secretariat should have a proposal. The Secretariat should make a decision. The emperor will approve it. The Secretariat will send relevant people here to verify it. It is as if the entire court recognized what Zhang Zhong did here and the approval he replied to the master was not corrected.

I also mentioned the matter of strong wind, but the word "有有" means too much. It feels like I am not pursuing the losses caused by strong winds, but Wu Jing is written in front of it. After the Emperor wrote it, the Secretariat and Menxia Province were added to it, which means that the strong winds cannot be resisted by human forces.

The emperor's approval is not that simple. It is okay not to correct the hurricanes in Qinzhou, and it is okay not to correct Zhang Zhong's affairs. What I fear most is another meaning. This time, I will not pursue the malicious impeachment of the master.

If you really want to know what it means, you can write another impeachment memorandum to send it. It will be clear which kind of reply the emperor has, but does anyone dare to do this? What if it means the last one, and if you impeach it again, you will be corrected.

It was because Ning Zhongze thought of the last possibility that he was extremely depressed. More than 15,000 people were gone and went to Luzhou to help repair things. To count it, the Ning family is richer than Zhang Zhong's family and more powerful than Zhang Zhong's family. The main reason is that the Ning family's money is all spent.

This is the most unacceptable thing. The Ning family has been selling this stall for several generations, and it will cost a little more money. The stalls sold are bigger than the Zhang family. The problem is that even though the Zhang family’s stalls cannot compare to the Ning family, those stalls make dozens of times more money than the Ning family, or even hundreds of times more money.

Zhang Zhong was always able to withdraw a large amount of money, and even money to build post roads in Guangzhou Prefecture and build canals for the court. In name, it was not the Zhang and Wang families who paid for it, but they were official signs. The court did not issue any notices for such things.

The ordinary people don’t know, but the court doesn’t know? The emperor doesn’t know? It’s 110,000 guan. The Zhang family took it out without asking for anything. It’s not a fault for the emperor to suppress the complaint of impeachment of Zhang Zhong. The total amount of the rent and tax paid by Luzhou last year was only more than 10,000 guan.

This state has paid less than 30,000 guan, and it is also included in the conversion of local tribute. Those who dare to spend money do have to protect them. If the emperor gets the benefits this time, the emperor will naturally have to protect them.

This matter makes people wonder what benefits Zhang Zhong can get from the canal? What benefits can make him earn 110,000 yuan? The treacherous minister, Zhang Zhong is a treacherous minister. He gave some ministers there something called a sofa, and also gave them something called cement to repair pavilions and flower beds.

It’s clear that it’s a villain, which gentleman can do such a despicable thing? Bah! Isn’t it just some furniture? I won’t use it tomorrow, chairs, and foldable tables. I don’t see anything good.

Ning Zhongze's hand was still touching the armrest of the chair, and he repeatedly demeaned the furniture sent by Luzhou *** in his heart. He was so shaky and wet after sitting on the chair for a long time. He also added a cotton pad, and the same was true for sitting on the futon.

The more I thought about it, the more angry she became, Ning Zhong slapped the handrail with his hand and said to the butler: "Tomorrow, I will put all the things sent by Luzhou... into the living room. Long-term use makes people tired and lazy, and I won't use them in the study."

"Yes, that master, the bed that you can have for fun on the two floors of the two floors you usually sleep in is also delivered to the living room?" the butler agreed and asked again.

He was afraid that the master would ask everyone to put all the things sent by Luzhou to the living room, so he also packed a table with riveted leather. He didn't know how it was done. It looked very comfortable, especially the drawer, which could be pulled out by just one pull. There was also the chair that was paired with the table, which could be rotated back and forth. The deer-skin noodles, mahogany racks, and cotton and bamboo cushions. It was really painful to take it out.

Ning Zhongze also knew that these things were comfortable to use, but he felt uncomfortable. He hesitated for a moment, "Just move the study room over and don't move the others. After all, it was something sent by Luzhou. Even if it was awkward to use, he would give Zhang Zhong a face."

"Yes, the master is kind and righteous, and I will give Zhang Zhong a face." The butler felt relieved.

"Well, just go to have a meal if you don't have anything else." Ning Zhongze knew very well what people thought about these furniture. Who doesn't like to use good things? Moreover, this thing is very valuable. He just sat under him, and he couldn't buy it if he didn't have eighty knots.

These things are all suitable, so you can't just buy one, right? According to the same level, if you buy a study room, you don't even think about it if you don't have five hundred guan. If you buy this, you will also have additional supporting tea sets. If you buy a tea set, you will have tea leaves. If you want to order it, you can set up a study room for one thousand guan. It's almost done.

How much is the capital? How much money can the Zhang family make from it?

Even if Ning Zhongze was full of hostility towards the Zhang family, he had to admire his way of making money. There were people in thatched huts and shabby rooms, but not many people. Why should they live in such a house? Isn’t it because they are not capable of making money?

All my family can do this, let alone those who have no conflict with Zhang Zhong.

The housekeeper didn't care what the master was thinking, just as long as he didn't let him take out the things he got, he agreed and retreated.

Ning Zhongze touched the armrest of the chair again reluctantly. The longer the mahogany was used, the darker the color and the better it looked. He listened to the sound of rain outside and took a deep breath. Before he could vomit it out, the housekeeper who had just left came back, holding a letter in his hand.

"Master, there is news coming from the capital again. Master, please check it out." The butler lowered his head slightly, and his waist was not as straight as before. He looked up at the master, because he was afraid that the master would suddenly change his mind and continue to ask him to deliver the goods to the living room.

Ning Zhong didn't think so much, so he took the letter and looked carefully. There was no trace of being removed. He took it apart bit by bit, went up to the top and looked from right to left.

As he looked at it, he lost his energy just now. He leaned dejectedly on the back of the chair, threw the letter at the butler, and asked, "Do you know what cement is?"

The housekeeper finally caught the letter before he landed on the ground. Before he could see it, he immediately said, "I heard that Luzhou made it, which seems to be used to build roads and seawalls. Luzhou now purchases iron wire, ironware, steel wire and steel from various places at a high price, and I don't know what it is for."

"You will know by looking at what is written in the letter. Another profitable deal has been made. Send someone to inquire. No matter what, you must know how the cement is made. With this Ning family, the head of the Ning family will not have to shrink in Qinzhou to seek life."

Ning Zhongze gasped for a few consecutive times and said, looking at the rain outside the window.
