Chapter 161: Compromise if one hits

Zhang Zhong was not picky about food at all, and he could do anything to serve. On the contrary, he would not eat too much. His main purpose was to see what a few businessmen meant.

The mansion lacks seeds and farm tools, which is what several county magistrates say. The businessmen in charge of seeds and farm tools were also helped by the county magistrates. Zhang Zhong wanted to know how the officials and merchants in Shuzhou should treat him.

The cold dishes are served first, let alone, there are indeed some skills here, there are cucumbers and spinach. Shuzhou is south of the Yellow River, but there are fresh vegetables at this time. I don’t know if the people here grow them themselves or bought them from outside.

It is something that many people will never dare to think about in their lifetime to be able to eat a cucumber with a strong fragrance in spring.

As soon as the garlic cucumber was brought up, the few people, each of them stretched out their chopsticks, and Zhang Zhong took it into his mouth, nodded slightly, and said, "It's okay, there is only a little salt, garlic, and cucumber. I haven't learned from others that I put this and that, and I'm very simple."

"Adults like to eat more. Adults, since you arrived in Shuzhou, somehow, our business has been easier to do, and this shows your ability."

A businessman sitting on the far right of Zhang Zhong took the opportunity to praise Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong has also learned how to deal with it over the past few years. If he had to be doing business in the past, he would take other people's words seriously. Today he would never think so again. After hearing the flattery of businessmen, he narrowed his eyes with a smile, and then said:

"Well, I don't ask for too much. As long as the farmer has his own land and the living has his own house, the upper ones are worthy of the emperor's kindness and the lower ones are worthy of the people."

This big talk made people realize that it was impossible at first glance, but the merchants still praised each other. The recorders rarely spoke, and they only watched others flatter Zhang Zhong.

Half an hour passed as we ate. Zhang Zhong was still chatting with the masters, but the merchants were a little impatient. Today they brought the purpose. When Zhang Zhong discussed the matter of seeds and farm tools with them, he made a lot of money and pushed the prone problems to Zhang Zhong.

They did not believe that the people were not short of seeds and farm tools. Before Zhang Zhong arrived, the county magistrates of each county collected all the seeds and farm tools in the hands of the people using the excuse that there would be new seeds and farm tools this year.

If you want to plow spring, you must buy it again. You cannot keep the seeds yourself as before and find a way to make a farm tool yourself.

The solution is simple, that is, the mansion has left money, but the money needs to be sent to the capital. It has not been delivered yet. See if Zhang Huisun will use this money to buy seeds and farm tools. If it is used, there will be a handle in the hands of everyone. If it is not used, Zhang Zhong’s own family will take the money, so he will try his best to ask for money and sell the seeds by grain.

It is impossible for people to afford seeds and farm tools. Although the first thing they said was to change, they could be replaced. If they used bad seeds and farm tools to replace them well, they would need to add money. It would be up to you to decide how much they add.

If the people delay spring plowing, Zhang Zhong will definitely not be able to escape. The first person to be dealt with was him. He was not just here, he has been here for half a month, and he is invited to drink or travel around every day. He has not figured out the affairs of the people for such a long time, so who will he dealt with if he doesn't deal with him?

It is because of this confidence that the businessmen think that Zhang Zhong will compromise with them and will not interfere in doing things in the future.

But Zhang Zhong didn't mention it at all. He looked like a harmless person and animal. When others talked about the topic, he didn't talk about seeds and farm tools at all.

Finally, a businessman couldn't help but turn around from the topic of Fengyue and said, "Sir, if you have you in Shuzhou, you will be more prosperous in the future. The people will also be grateful to you. Spring plowing is about to come. I want to come to Mr. Zhang..."

"I am helping the court, but I cannot be grateful to me for being the only one. It is my honor to let the people live a good life. What fish are there in the river here?"

Without waiting for the merchant to speak, Zhang Zhong took the words and turned them elsewhere again.

Not only the merchants were stunned, but even the officers and officers found something was wrong with the military. Zhang Zhong clearly did not say the seeds and farm tools on purpose.

The difficulties of shirking and excuses for the price of seeds and farm tools were prepared, so they couldn't find the opportunity to say it out. After a punch was saved, when they were about to hit someone, they found that there was nothing in front of them. This was the feeling in everyone's heart, and they couldn't use their strength.

The recorder and the military had to speak out for help.

"Governor Zhang, several soldiers in the camp have been killed recently. They said they wanted to go home to farm and get money, but they were not able to give it to them before the pay was paid. I heard that the people had no seeds and no farm tools. Governor Zhang had to think of a way."

"Oh~! I understand." Zhang Zhong's expression did not change at all, just as if he was talking about food just now, and he agreed casually.

The businessman and the military officer found out that Zhang Zhong was not easy to deal with. I couldn't tell what he was thinking. It was already at this time and he was not in a hurry.

"Sir, if you need seeds and farm tools, I still have some on my hands, but..."

"Well! I'm clear, I will naturally look for you if I need it. Do you know where to fish here? I have countless fishing rods at home, so I'm worried that I can't find a good place."

Zhang Zhong once again planned to say something about the businessman and talked about fishing.

The merchants could not do so, so they had to follow Zhang Zhong's words that the recording officer on the side saw sweat on his forehead. He would not have been like this even if he had been alone. He thought that there was a governor who knew nothing but only knew how to have fun.

But Zhang Zhong was obviously not an official like that. He was born as a top scholar. From the past few years, it can be seen that wherever he went, there would be a change immediately. Even the poor place in Lingnan now allows people in the court to break their heads and stuff their own people into it.

From this we can see that Zhang Zhong is not an incompetent official, he is very capable, no, no, today's affairs are definitely not simple, what went wrong?

When Zhang Zhong and the merchants were happily talking about fishing tips, the record officers and soldiers thought about things alone, thinking about the Zhang family's ability, the situation Zhang Zhong encountered when he was promoted step by step, and finally the four judges in Luzhou, the people killed by the order, the officials locked up, and the Ning family in Qinzhou.

The recorder suddenly felt his heart tight and broken. It must have been something that made Zhang Zhong notice. At the beginning, he felt that such a simple method could not be used to deal with Zhang Zhong.

The merchants and recorders were worried about joining the army. In a room next to him, several people were also worried. They were the people sent by the magistrates of each county to check, and wanted to know how Zhang Zhong would deal with it in the end.

From the words of one hour, it can be seen that Zhang Zhong has other means, not afraid of him being anxious or angry, but afraid of him talking like a person who is fine.

"Oh, it's hard. I would have thought I would have paid him if I had known it." A man who should have been a master said anxiously there.

A man with a head scarf next to him and the feather fan shook the fan a few times, disagreed with the words "Give money? How much money can I bribe Zhang Zhong? Haven't you seen the pendant under the goldfish bag he hung? Five-color tortoiseshell, I have never seen five colors of tortoiseshell, I just slammed into the lap of the table, and Zhang Zhong never even looked at it."

After his words fell, the rest of the people stopped talking. The Zhang family had many transactions and mixed accounts. No one knew how much money his family had. The main reason was that each transaction had something called shares, and they also joined forces with many powerful and businessmen to operate.

Not knowing how much money does not mean not knowing that Zhang Zhong has money. As long as he wants to use it, he will take advantage of it. It is not ten thousand yuan, but ten thousand yuan. A bribe may make him tempted by selling the entire Shuzhou. Just like that hedgehog, he is covered in thorns and has nowhere to whisk.

"If it really doesn't work, just find him a few difficult cases. Don't use other means. It's useless. If you can delay it for a while, it's just a while. Or if he is the governor of Shuzhou, he will change the previous methods and pay taxes in the land. He will never be able to stay in Shuzhou for the rest of his life, so he will be picked up by him quickly."

The master who had just spoken thought of a solution. Everyone knew that if he really wanted to follow this method, Zhang Zhong would indeed be transferred to another place. The problem was that the master would not agree. Then, the money lost during this period was not a small amount.

When the few people were sweating in a hurry, Zhang Zhong was full. He originally decided to eat a few bites and wait until he got home to continue eating. Unexpectedly, he felt that the taste of the food was good.

It was so comfortable to master everything. Looking at the disagreement of the businessman and the military officer in front of him, Zhang Zhong thought of the cat teasing mouse.

The plan is good, but unfortunately, it should not be used to yourself. Who can make you have a good son? This is what the son and daughter-in-law tell their parents about loneliness and failure, and they have no feelings of an opponent, and they are lonely.

Zhang Zhong drank some wine and was so happy when he thought about things. The others didn't know what Zhang Zhong was thinking, otherwise they would be furious.

Officials and businessmen in Shuzhou are indeed better than those in Luzhou. If they were in Luzhou, they would not know what to do, or they would throw them out. However, Shuzhou's people did not know what to do, and they would immediately find a way to expose this matter.

Several businessmen looked at each other and said to Zhang Zhong: "Mr. Governor, we actually have a heartless request, just to give out seeds and farm tools so that the local people can plow spring quickly, and hope that the adults can take the lead."

A businessman said to Zhang Zhong with sincerity on his face that there is no way to do it. Since it cannot be done, it will have to pay the price. Otherwise, if Zhang Zhong fights back, it will be troublesome.

When Zhang Zhong heard this, he immediately put away his contempt he had just looked down upon. It was indeed amazing. He had never met such an opponent. He had seen him tough and pretended to be timid. For the first time, he saw someone who compromised immediately as soon as he found something wrong. The road in Shuzhou seemed to be difficult to walk.
