Chapter 175: Send troops to search in the middle of the night

When the cool day is when sweating, I swing my shovel and pickaxe to keep busy. The shallow water rushes and it is difficult to cool down, and the deep well is easy to cool down. The cold melon quenches thirst and melts the heat, and mung beans make porridge into rock sugar. Don’t talk about the bitterness when moving mountains and bridges, and build a home with all connections.

Li Xun's road construction business has been underway. He has all the money he received himself, so the court will not fund his fiefdom. This year, he has spent 30,000 pounds before he has obtained the rent.

Seeing the people who are not lazy when working, Li Xun was happy to spend money. He learned the Zhang family's practices. In addition to paying wages, the people who built roads were also responsible for their food.

People are not slaves, and they consume a lot of work, so they have to supplement their nutrition. The first meal in the morning is salted beans with sorghum rice. People usually eat this kind of food, such as barley, etc., but they can't afford salted beans, and they dare not eat water rice. This way, they consume too much food.

When building roads, Li Xun paid for it. As long as he didn't eat delicacies, he didn't care. Eat it, the more he could eat, the more powerful he had.

We will change dishes at noon. According to nutrition, one meat and one vegetarian food is the various local vegetables. There are only three kinds of meat to choose from: pork, fish and chicken. In addition to local fish fish fish fish, pork and chicken are all provided by Sanshui County or Yaozhou.

Relying on his own fleet, Li Xun did something that was to communicate between the north and the south, not counting the freight, when a pig was delivered to Shuzhou, it had already become the price of two pigs, ice money.

Such wealth and prosperity make the people feel at ease. One governor Zhang’s family has countless money, and the other prince also has money. There is no need to worry about setting up a name for more rent and taxes when he is fine.

Adhering to the care method of Zhang and Wang family, besides eating, the rest is mung bean rock sugar water. At the beginning, Li Xun forgot about this matter, and the people didn’t know where to pay for road construction and could enjoy such treatment.

I never thought about it and started to build roads. According to the people's ideas, the prince would let them work for nothing, so he had to do it. He just hoped that he could handle the twenty days of work that year.

As a result, I found that I had to get the wages, so I felt at ease. When I was giving it to me on the first day, I felt like I was in a dream. With such benefits, who would dare to think of anything else?

When Li Xun was walking around, he finally found the problem. It was hot and the people brought their own water bags. If the section of the road built was close to the river, it would be convenient and drink water directly in the river.

One thing that is most common to others is not very common to Li Xun. He has taken all the money for food, but is there still a shortage of mung bean water?

From that day on, rock sugar mung bean water was constantly supplied. In the past few days, the watermelon from the sandy land by the river came down. Li Xun began to send the watermelon to Jingli Town and take it out to quench the thirst for the people working. Each person sent one to take it home for their family to eat, and asked to take the melon peel and seeds back to make things.

In addition to various benefits, Li Xun also asked someone to write slogans and shout slogans. This kind of thing has little impact on knowledgeable people, but it has a very special effect on ordinary people. Even if the people do not recognize the words written on it, they are still willing to listen to others and tell others to listen.

The roughly means to build your own hometown and make your hometown more beautiful.

After Li Xun took care of this matter, he turned around and started to make money. Why did he grow so many watermelons without making money?

Because Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan asked the doctors of the Medical School to study various uses of watermelon, when they arrived here, everyone prepared a variety of watermelons and then sold them to wealthy families with other medicines and tonics. The restaurant in Shuiyunjian also launched a Hangua Banquet.

You can only make money for one year, but by next year, people will not be worth it. It is easy to plant and can plant sandy land. Of course, it cannot be kept confidential. It is not an industrial thing. If you make money once, you will benefit the people.

Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan and Li Xun are preparing to take this just one opportunity to earn back the money invested in local construction.

When Li Xun was busy with watermelon, Zhang Zhong had already organized more yamen runners in the mansion, and also transferred 500 soldiers from the military officers and joined the army, and ran towards the place where Taihu County was located in the night.

The other ones were accompanied by Old Man Zhang, Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao. The recorder also brought several relevant officials to follow him, holding the documents written by Zhang Zhong to investigate the copper mines, and followed the team with a sneer.

After Zhang Zhong rode a horse and told the three old men about Taihu County, the three old men also expressed their support. After arresting the person, Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao were preparing to write a letter to impeach him.

Zhang Zhong also brought three dogs raised by Wang Juan to help, and found someone who wanted to escape. He was determined to find someone to catch them.

The entire team ran forward at the fastest speed. According to the information obtained, a team of people came out from Taihu County a few days ago, and there were many vehicles loaded with copper ore and marble secretly dug from somewhere. They had to go to the Anhui River first and then enter the Yangtze River to transport the goods away.

The order Zhang Zhong gave to the team was to go to the Wan River to block people, catch people, and get one person to steal and get it.

The team came out as soon as it was dark and ran until the moment of Yin. Then they arrived. Sure enough, as soon as they arrived here, they saw someone moving things on the moored boat on the shore. When they heard the urging sounds coming from there, they knew that the other party was very anxious.

"Sir, what should I do next?" The headmaster came over from behind and asked Zhang Zhong.

"Catch people, whether they are on the boat or on the shore, they will be arrested by me." Zhang Zhong said with a calm face.

"Sir, what about the charge?" the record officer asked again.

"Hasn't the charge been written to you? Is it a secretly mined copper ore? As for whether it is used to make utensils or to mint coins privately, I will catch it and ask it. I won't do it yet."

Seeing that the officer joining the army did not take action, Zhang Zhong was a little dissatisfied, and pointed to the place in front and said, "If you let someone go, you can wait for the impeachment of me."

The recorder seemed to be frightened and shouted, "Come on, Lord Governor has an order, and the people in front of me seem to be digging copper mines to mint coins. I will arrest them all. If there is any resistance, kill!"

Five hundred soldiers were unsheathed, and the arrow was stringed, and they rushed up with a scream. The momentum was quite loud, but no matter how you look at it, they were missing a sense of killing. Zhang Zhong shook his head. It was not his own responsibility to not go to the local sergeant. There were records in the local army, and the military and political affairs were separated, unlike Luzhou, which was convenient to use.

After a while of chaos, two people ran back to report, and everyone caught them.

Before Zhang Zhong could speak, Old Man Bi and the other two came from the car and walked forward under the protection of the guards, wanting to see who is so brave.

The recorder joined the army and said to Zhang Zhong: "Please, Lord Zhang."

Zhang Zhong responded, turned over and dismounted, and walked forward with great strides. The officers and soldiers followed behind, looked at the sky, looked in another direction, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Old Man Bi and his three arrived first. Taking advantage of the light of the torch that had just been lit, he saw about forty people snorting coldly. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that the three of them could not directly deal with this matter, and they had to wait until Zhang Zhong arrived.

Zhang Zhong was not in a hurry at this time, and slowly waved over, glanced at the person being held, and asked, "Do you know why you are arrested?"

"Sir, I don't know. You can't arrest people for nothing, you must investigate clearly." One of the people who were escorted forward and struggled twice, but the person who was escorted held them tightly and opened his mouth to complain.

The record officer took a few steps forward and said loudly: "I dare to argue. The governor is here, saying that you are waiting to secretly collect copper mines. Fortunately, the governor is a clever plan and has already learned in advance what you have done. It is not easy to attract you to avoid the pain of flesh and blood."

After the record officer shouted to the man, he turned to Zhang Zhong and said, "Sir, it seems that they will not say anything if they don't let them suffer. It's better..."

"No need, they will naturally recruit people when the time comes. They will tie up and take them back." Zhang Zhong refused the proposal of the director to join the army and ordered.

The man struggled even harder now, and he shouted while struggling: "Sir, it's unfair. We didn't mine any copper ore. We just cut down the wood and wanted to transport it back to burn charcoal. Sir, it's unfair."

"I'm quibbling again and taking it away." This time it was Zhang Zhong who spoke and turned around and prepared to return.

The recorder took a step forward to block Zhang Zhong and said, "Sir, I'm sending troops late at night, and I'm all the officials listened to them. Why not look at the ship and the unloaded goods first, otherwise, if you catch the wrong person, it will be difficult to do the subordinates, and you'll ask the adults to make the decision."

The recorder said that Zhang Zhong had to consider it, but he did not give Zhang Zhong a chance to speak. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately ordered: "Come on the boat, bring down the things on the boat and send the ones that have not been loaded on the boat. The governor will decide."

The soldiers agreed in unison, and some rushed onto the boat to get things, and some unloaded the goods from the shore trucks.

The rest of the people were waiting here, and the sound from there made people realize that something was wrong as they listened.

Old Man Bi looked at Old Man Yao in confusion and said, "It's really wood to hear the news. Did Zhang Zhong get the wrong one? He caught the wrong one? After that, if he doesn't transfer the troops in the palace, he will release the people. Now that the troops have been transferred, there are no ones to arrest, and there are no copper mines and marbles, then..."

"Then I'm going to help you later. I encountered this when I first arrived at the place. Forget it, I can't just watch it and ignore it. Didn't it mean that there are two masters in the Zhang family? They have plans and plan well, how could they make such mistakes? Could it be that Zhang Zhong did not do privately when he listened to the master's words?"

Old Man Yao understood what Old Man Bi meant, and even if Zhang Zhong made a mistake, he had to keep it. In fact, he understood that even if someone really reported the matter to the court, Zhang Zhong would not have anything to do, but the accumulated prestige would be greatly reduced.

At this time, someone from the sergeant sent out to check came to report to the recorder and the military officer, "Sir, there is no marble, no copper ore, it is all wood, please decide."

"Oh? It's true? No, the governor asked me to send troops because of the conclusive evidence. The governor would not treat such a big deal as a joke, right? Check it out and take a closer look."

The recorder gave an order, and at the same time gave Zhang Zhong a strong proof. When someone went over to investigate, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Zhong and said, "Mr. Zhang, are you sure there is copper ore here? If not, the official should report it truthfully, but you don't have to worry, the official will definitely help the official. "
