"Sir, I have to save the young man. Who knows where Zhang Zhong is running without any trouble? And he is not as generous as others. Instead, he takes people there when he thinks about it. Now I have someone to carry water every day, otherwise the lake will be gone."

"Hmph! Zhang Zhong has only been an official for a few years? He has been promoted to such a position again. Naturally, he cannot be like others. Moreover, the guards in his home are equipped with the best weapons, and even the horses under his seat are extraordinary. He is not afraid of others assassinating him. If it were me, I would dare to go out for a walk.

Since the matter has happened, we blamed us for using the wrong person. Those who sent them to monitor Zhang Zhong dared to be lazy, but this is useless. If they are slow to scatter, the matter must be solved.

But... it's good to do this. You can see Zhang Zhong's reaction. He has gone there once. If he asks me for inquiries, I will not be able to let it go. By the way, I will arrange someone immediately to find a place to build a quarry next to it. The stones are also part of the rent and tax."

The recorder spoke at this time when he joined the army. In fact, he had no better way. If someone caught him, it would be difficult to deal with it.

The other people could not think of any other way, so they could only continue to report this matter and see what the people above would say. They could not stop production.

"Sir, can I continue to mine now? Oh, I have to spend a lot of money again." The county magistrate of Taihu County felt sorry for the money. He spent a few days to make a fake, but it cost more than 2,000 guan. This is why the local people can get some benefits in normal times.

When it is time to mine, it will cost not two thousand sprigs, especially the small lake. Not only do you have to get rid of the water, but you also have to use a lot of effort to continue mining in the mine.

This money can only be paid from the hands of the people in Shuzhou. As a county magistrate, he is relatively the smallest, so he naturally has the most money. It is estimated that this year, he will have to work for six months.

Others calculate differently from the county magistrate. They do not calculate how much they want to take out, but the difference between the money they receive and the money they take out now if nothing happened. That's more.

The recorder joined the army and didn't know whether he should continue mining immediately, so as to make up for the losses. After thinking about it, he said, "Don't hurry, wait for ten days to see. If there is nothing to do, it's not too late to re-mine. Someone will send you a message.

What you have to do now is to pay attention to the local people. It is best to give them more benefits and not let them expose the situation there, otherwise no one will be able to protect you."

"Yes, yes, sir, the young one understands. Let's go back and arrange it. We will never let people tell you about the matter there. sir, please rest assured. The young one will definitely not be bad at hiring people. Oh, sir, the young one does not mean that you have poor employment, no, you are waiting, listen to the adults."

The county magistrate of Taihu County suddenly found out that he had said the wrong thing when he was guaranteed. The most fundamental reason this time was that the people who followed Zhang Zhong thought that Zhang Zhong would still walk around nearby like before and go home. They ended up going to drink. When things came out, it would be too late to say anything.

After the guarantee, the county magistrate of Taihu County saw that the adults were silent, so he found a little time to leave and went back as quickly as possible to avoid the anger on him.

As soon as he left, the rest began to eat and drink slowly. The wine and food that usually tasted good tasted was like chewing wax today. Even so, they still ate calmly.

"Sir, why not ask Zhang Zhong for some trouble and let him know how powerful we are. Fortunately, I have made concessions in the mine. I have decided to poison the poultry and livestock raised in the people's homes. As long as it is poisoned to death, Zhang Zhong is determined to let the people live a good life, so he will inevitably be worried."

At this time, Sihu stopped chopsticks and expressed his thoughts. Two people followed him and nodded, thinking that this idea was good.

The recorder joined the army and sneered and said, "Do you want to force Zhang Zhong to fight us? Maybe they still noticed something, or maybe he is still thinking about how many families can you poison it? There is no use if there is less poison. If there is too much poison, Zhang Zhong will arrest people. As long as we confess, we can't do anything to avoid suspicion."

"Sir, don't worry about this. Zhang Zhong will definitely not be able to notice it. He will do it quickly and run quickly, so he won't know who did it." Sihu joined the army and added.

"He doesn't know who did it to give in? Do he know who it is to give in? Wake him up from the side? Then the first thing he has to deal with is us, not the poultry and livestock raised by the people. Do you think he is a fool? I will give us away first so that he can continue to let the people live a good life."

The recorder glared at Sihu's army. He was usually very smart, but why did he become stupid at this time?

Once he said this, it would be hard for others to continue to say anything else.

The recorder took a breath and said, "Don't worry, if something goes wrong, I'll have to worry. Wait and see what Zhang Zhong will do? Drink."

Everyone had to listen to him, and they all picked up the wine and drank it down, all of them seemed worried.

After waiting for ten days in a row, Zhang Zhong seemed to have forgotten that matter and focused all his energy on helping the people improve their living standards.

The Records and Army soldiers and others felt that it was almost done, so they issued an order to re-mine the county magistrate of Taihu County.

Two more days later, when they thought the matter had just passed, Zhang Zhong suddenly invited them at home.

Several people were puzzled and guessed what Zhang Zhong meant. They gathered before going to Zhang Zhong's house, that is, the house behind the prefecture, and were preparing to discuss what would happen to Zhang Zhong invite them over.

The recorder was still pushed to the front. Si Cang asked first: "Sir, what do you think Zhang Zhong wants to do this time? Is it about minerals, people's affairs, or completely compromise with us, so that we can share the benefits from it?"

"Are you dreaming? The benefits are divided from it? Don't you know how much money Zhang Zhong's family has? Well, I don't know either, but I know that it is definitely more money than the entire mine. Will he care about this? It's probably the people's business."

In fact, the recorder and the military officer could not guess, but he had to say that the news here had been passed on, and the place had not arrived yet, and the new order from the person above had not been released. He had no pigeons to transmit information, and even if there was one, it would not be used. The pigeons were flying back and forth was too obvious.

But he could not lose face, so he had to find a reason to tell others to show his ability.

"What the lord said is that Zhang Zhong's family is not short of money, so it is impossible to want to share the benefits, and that cannot be a matter of mine. Otherwise, wouldn't it be clear that the matter is made clear? Besides, he has no evidence in hand, so it is probably the people's business."

Si Shi joined the army and quickly flattered him.

The few people really couldn't think of what Zhang Zhong had to do with them, so they had to say a few casually, just don't let the confession be correct.

Seven people arrived at the house behind at noon.

Since Zhang Zhong came, they have not been here once. They don’t know what Zhang Zhong has built his home. I don’t think it will be too luxurious. Otherwise, once they leave, they will be gone and leave it for the next one, which is not cost-effective.

Usually, when rich people take office, they choose to buy a house in other places. Even if they leave, they are still real estate at home and cannot be transferred to others. It is a lot of money to sell it. After all, when they buy it as an official, the price is cheap, and everyone understands this.

But when they really entered the Zhang family's yard, they all felt that their eyes were getting smaller and they were so beautiful. The roads on the ground were paved with bluestone, and there were yellow sand next to them, and all kinds of beautiful flowers and plants planted. Even big trees were moved in. Every time they died, it was a magical thing.

In addition to this, there is also mountain flowing water, and I don’t know how the water comes up. It flows down from the rockery. Below is a small pond, where several red fish are swimming slowly.

When the seven people were shocked, no one thought that Zhang Zhong was stupid. He was really not stupid. It was because Zhang Zhong was rich and knew how to enjoy it, so he didn't have to worry about being in trouble.

Seven people came in and Zhang Zhong greeted him in person. The maid standing next to him was wearing the same clothes. It was nothing. The main reason was that the maids in these two rows made people look different from maids. They were more elegant than some of the girls from a slightly rich family, so they didn't dare to look at them directly, so as not to make the beauty abrupt.

The seven people had the same feeling in their hearts. They looked down on Zhang Zhong before, thinking that he had been an official for a short time and was not a family. Now no one would think so anymore. When they thought of the person who helped Zhang Zhong handle official duties, they were confused for a moment.

How did the Zhang family do it? The maids all look like those who are well-educated and polite, and male servants can help with official business. Could it be that the Zhang family is looking for someone else?

Zhang Zhong didn't know what the seven people thought, and he had no time to pay attention to it. He was very happy today and was ready to fool people. Don't be a high-ranking official, it would be a happy thing to have the opportunity to fool people.

With his concession, everyone walked through one courtyard after another and finally came to the marble-covered yard on the ground. It was actually the yard of four little guys. Needless to say, how beautiful it was, especially in the middle, there was a three-story building.

"Sit, everyone, I'm sorry to you on weekdays. The weather is warm today, so I'm so happy to drink and have fun in the yard." Zhang Zhong said to the seven people with a smile.

He sat in the upper head first, and someone immediately brought him some refreshments, and it seemed that he was in a hurry to have a meal.

The seven people thought they could eat in the hall, but they didn't expect to arrange it in a very remote yard, and they were still eating outside, so they had no intention of entering the house.

As for what Zhang Zhong said about the warm weather, is it still necessary to raise it? It’s always warm and sweat keeps flowing, and it’s summer.

The judicial officer was dissatisfied with joining the army and tasted the tea. It tasted good, but this did not help him to get angry that he could not enter the house to eat. So he said, "Sir, why not find another better place. This underground official looks quite small and will definitely find it."

"What?" Zhang Zhongtong said this and his face sank. "Is it aggrieved that Fan joined the army here? Do you know where this place is? If you hadn't invited a few people to come over, ordinary people wouldn't even think about coming in. Look at that house, which is where my family and the four youngest children of the Wang family stay.

Others think that it is a dream. What if I bring my illness in? Look at the things laid in the yard, inlaid with gold and silver, and the ground is covered with marble. Could it be that I have to let my official take you to the small house?"

When the seven people heard Zhang Zhong's words, they were shocked and began to look at the yard carefully. As Zhang Zhong said, it looked simple, but they could take out something casually, let alone how much it was worth. They had never even seen it, so they could only guess the purpose.

Let’s look at the three-story small house. There were really four little guys crawling back and forth inside. A little girl had even climbed to the first floor at this time, pushed open the small door on the first floor, poked her head out and looked at everyone curiously.

He was a little afraid of being angry, so he spoke with his mouth and closed the door with a few sounds, and with the window made of glass that had just been sold in Beijing and was very expensive, the seven people would never dare to pick on this aspect again.

The cute appearance of the little kids, the decoration of the small house, and the various layouts here, as Zhang Zhong said, no place can be more noble than this courtyard.

The judicial officer who was speaking just now was frightened. His eyes were staring at the three-story house without moving. Through the glass, he could see what carpet was laid inside. The whole house was less than 50,000 yuan.

"Don't be angry, it's all the small world that Fan Chanjun saw. How can he understand the benefits of this courtyard? The adult actually brought us to the place where the noble son and the young lady are. It shows that the adult attaches importance to us. Fan Chanjun is not here to accompany you."

The Recording Officer and the Army further understood what it means to be rich and powerful. If you add up the entire yard and that house, as well as various novel things, it will definitely cost more than 100,000 yuan.

Whose children can enjoy such treatment? Even in the palace, it is not possible. Even the prince and grandson cannot spend 100,000 yuan to give the children a place to play. It is impossible to put them in the yard at night, right?

Just like the little girl just now, she shrank her head and was frightened. She didn't dare to look directly at Zhang Zhong, lowered her head and said, "Sir, don't be as knowledgeable as a young man, a young man..."

"It's okay, it's okay. To be honest, there were no marbles on the original ground here. A few days ago, I went around on a whim and finally picked up a lot of marbles for the little guys to play with. It was very interesting to slide around on it."

Before the judicial officers could finish their apology, Zhang Zhong interrupted him and pointed to the marble on the ground and said to the seven people.

The seven people were estimating how much this courtyard would cost just now. When they heard Zhang Zhong say it, they all felt a sudden heart. What does it mean? Yunshi, is this Yunshi that should be transported away but left by Zhang Zhong? Is it necessary to talk about this Yunshi? How should we deal with it?

The seven people didn't know how to speak for a moment, and they were afraid that Zhang Zhong would just make it clear and then let someone catch them. Don't look at Zhang Zhong's children not far away, but can they go over and catch them and threaten Zhang Zhong? Just think about it and understand that if you rush over, you will definitely be shot into a hedgehog.

Since Zhang Zhong dared to put the place in the yard of the children, he would naturally make corresponding preparations. Did he deliberately let himself wait for others to rush there? Then there would be an excuse to kill someone.

The seven people didn't know how to speak, so they could only watch Zhang Zhong and listen to the following.

Zhang Zhong looked very happy when he saw the faces of the seven people. It was fun, and it was really fun. He knew that the pressure was almost the same, and said:

"Don't look at the arrangement of my family in a good way, but I'm not happy at all. What's the use of my family? The people of Shuzhou can only be better off."

"Sir, I am really a good official. I can't wait, but if there is a way to help the people live a good life, I will definitely obey the words of the adults, even if it's a sea of ​​swords and fire, I will be fearless."

The record officer and the military officer carefully followed Zhang Zhong's words and said that he really didn't know what Zhang Zhong wanted to do.

Zhang Zhong nodded seriously, "If you think so, I will feel much better. In fact, I know that as long as the people follow the method of raising poultry and livestock, they will get more money.

But what's the use? In order to make the people live a better life, the emperor specially built a pear garden. We local officials should be considerate of the holy heart. I wonder if you have any way to make the people of Shuzhou have enough happiness like the people of the capital?"

Zhang Zhong's words made the seven people even more confused. What does it mean? Do you also want to build a pear garden in Shuzhou? OK.

So Si Gong joined the army and said, "Do you want to build a pear orchard? Sir, we are willing to help you build a pear orchard."

The other six people also nodded, looking like they really had to work hard.

"Sir, you can build a pear garden in every county in this prefecture so that the people can go over and take a look in their spare time." Sihu Jun also agreed.

Zhang Zhong felt very good now, and finally realized what Old Man Bi said about the thoughts and feelings that the people below could not figure out Shangguan.

Seeing that seven people were waiting for him to speak, Zhang Zhong shook his head and said, "No, it's not the time yet, so I can only start from a small place, such as poetry and fu. I went to Taihu Lake a few days ago and found that there was a nice mountain there, with beautiful scenery and lakes on it.
