Chapter 189: Shuzhou's job is short-lived

Another pigeon in Shuzhou flew to the capital. This time, the Zhuangyuan Building showed new dishes of chickens and ducks, plus several simple medicinal herbs, which were specially made for customers to read, which was very good.

It seems that eating pork is more useful to the body, and it slightly diverted some people's attention to pork.

Immediately afterwards, Sanshui County and Huayuan County sent a large amount of pork to the capital, most of which were frozen and a small part of which were live pigs.

On the first morning of the first time the pork was shipped, the city gate had just been released, and people passing by saw large trucks, some of which were packed with pigs with legs tied, and some were half-half frozen pork.

I don’t know how many, but I look at the end of the road from the direction of the door, until the place I can’t see, there are still cars carrying pork convoys.

The people and the soldiers guarding the city were staring at the convoy stupidly. They all understood how much pork is now, who is this? He transported so much pork? I guess he would make a lot of money at one time. He was smart and actually saved the pork until now.

After a while, the sergeant remembered to come over to check. As soon as he walked to the first car, a flag was immediately raised on the car. The pattern on the flag was very cute, it was a rice seedling with big eyes. He held a basin of feed in his arms, grabbed the edge with one hand and took out the feed and sprinkled it with the other hand.

Seeing this pattern, the soldiers guarding the gate breathed a sigh of relief. If it was true, then they would not have to be investigated by a car, saving a lot of trouble.

The people in the capital also knew such a banner with fun rice seedlings. The unique flag of the Zhang family in Sanshui County was blown by the wind and roared, and a golden edge was embroidered around the banner. If you look closely, you can see that the base of the embroidered rice seedlings turned out to be a dragon.

"The Zhang family is right, and no one dares to use such over-the-counter things." The little head guarding the gate said to the soldiers next to him.

The soldier nodded, "Yes, yes, only the Zhang family can suddenly take out so much pork and go up and see if there are people you know. If there is one, don't check it."

The other gatekeepers nodded in agreement, otherwise how long would it take to check?

When a batch of pork hit the capital, the price of pork immediately fell. All officials in the court, including Li Longji, also knew how capable the Zhang and Wang families were. With the strength of the whole family, they could affect the price fluctuations in Yijing.

If it weren't for Old Man Bi, Old Man Yao and Old Man Liu, three old men, who also wrote a letter to deliver it to the capital, Li Longji would have wanted to take action against the Zhang and Wang families. How could one party control the prices in the capital's important areas?

There are three points that are clearly written in the letter. The first is to let all officials understand the importance of economy. Whether to check whether to take advantage of businessmen or improve their status, then just do it. You can't look down on it like before.

The second is the importance of breeding, especially confined farming, which consumes much less food. At the same time, biogas tanks can also be used to reduce unpleasant odors and increase grain production.

The third is to allow people in Yanzhou and other places to use more sleds when it snows in winter, and there are frozen cattle and sheep there, so that they can get there while the prices in the capital rise and develop habits.

There is another last point that is not clearly stated. The least important thing is that Zhang and Wang families can choose a good place to help the royal family establish a large breeding farm to control prices.

Li Longji was relieved when he saw this last one. He understood that it would be better to use this to control prices than to make more money for him. This money is not controlled by the imperial officials and the Ministry of Revenue cannot control it. He would no longer have to talk to all officials if he wanted to build a house and go out to hunt and spend money.

At the same time, the Zhang and Wang families were also showing that they had no ambitions.

If it can affect the prices in the capital, it will naturally also affect the prices in Shuzhou.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. In order to make it easier for the people of Shuzhou to celebrate the Chinese New Year, the restaurant of Zhang family launched a series of new dishes. The pigs that have not grown up in the family were also taken out and killed to eat meat. The price is also much more expensive, and it is no different from killing when you grow up.

Old Man Bi and others ate dishes for ten consecutive days, three meals a day, each meal at least ten dishes with pork, but they didn't get the same. The three hundred dishes made several people feel happy and they were also tired of eating them.

When the four old men found the newly built kindergarten, a group of children were cared for and played in the yard. From big to small, only the children from Shuzhou wealthy families in a kindergarten were occupied. The older one was five years old, and the younger one could be a child who had just been a month old.

However, there are no children under one year old here, and their families under one year old are reluctant to send them. This is not only because the education environment of Zhang and Wang families is good, but mainly because many people want to curry favor with Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were watching the children play in the yard. Carpets were laid on the marble floor, and there were wind-shielding curtains around them. Various toys were piled up there. Whoever wanted to play would catch them, but many times, the little kids would go to grab them from others. I don’t know if they were better to grab others’ or wanted to play with them.

"Xiaobao." Old man Bi waved to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan without going in.

"Grandpa Bi, do you have something to do?"

Zhang Xiaobao came out and asked in confusion.

"Change the dishes, it's always impossible to eat them. It's not that we have special recipes. If you don't want to eat the dishes delivered by your house, you won't eat them. The people below will eat them every day, and no one can stand it."

Old Man Bi discussed that after all, they gave them good food every day.

"What should I eat?" Zhang Xiaobao thought it was good. He ate meat every meal and changed his style, so why didn't he want to eat it anymore?

"Are there chicken, duck, fish? Change it. Well, if you have something to ask, where is your father going to go next? When your father came, he was going to stay for two years, which means he would only give him taxes twice, but it seemed that he couldn't do it anymore.

The bridge has been built, Wangjiang Tower has also been built, and there are also people's condoms and Li Xun wants to pay for the people's gas pool first. It is estimated that your father's location will move after the New Year, and at most it will stay until Xia Chu. That is because people have not come yet. Once your family leaves, there will be many places, and it will probably be Xia Chu."

Old Man Bi blushed a little while talking. He was so bullying. He went to a place to build it first. After finally building it, he had to drive him away before he could get more benefits from it.

But there is no way, who will make your Zhang and Wang families build fast? When you go to a place, the place will develop. You don’t have to worry about anything at all, so you can’t waste it. Of course, you have to use it as a knife and put it wherever you are unfair.

Zhang Xiaobao originally wanted to wait for a year, but he didn't expect that the court was too anxious. There were many good things in Shuzhou that had not been developed. Can the new officials continue to develop?

"Grandpa Bi, are you now encouraging local officials to make as few political achievements as possible so that they can stay in the local area more?"

Zhang Xiaobao asked in a thorny manner.

Old Man Bi was asked by Zhang Xiaobao for a moment and didn't know how to answer, Old Man Yao was speaking at this moment.

"It was the court that encouraged officials to continue to be promoted. Your father's next grade will definitely be higher than what he is now."

"If you get higher, you will go to the capital. You know how dangerous it is in that place, Grandpa Yao, right? My father is now going to have a dispute with others. Whenever I get promoted, my family will have to take out the prescription. If I get promoted every month, I will be a dispersed official and idle position. If I have no promotion, I will be a king."

Zhang Xiaobao was really distressed this time. He couldn't do this. He had to study the prescriptions before giving them to others. The simplest things in the front are, the more difficult it becomes, and it cannot be made known to too many people.

Liu Zhirou actually really wanted to get more prescriptions, but he was also difficult to say, so he could only say in a negotiated tone: "Then go to Xiazhong? Leave more time for your family to make the Shuzhou transaction a part."

"Thank you, Grandpa Liu, but Grandpa Liu, can you guarantee that the new group of officials can still act according to my father's plan? Next time you go to Luoyang, don't get promoted. Give honorary official positions. If you have the same rank, don't have real power, go there."

Zhang Xiaobao said thank you, but the expression on his face did not mean anything.

The four old men didn't know what to say for a moment. Luoyang is a place for retirement. If Zhang Zhong was really arranged, he wouldn't be allowed to go to other places to do things.

Old Man Yao thought for a while and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Why arrange your father to another state to be the governor, the prefecture closer to the capital."

Zhang Xiaobao was also happy and nodded immediately and agreed, "Yeah, okay, it's good to have Grandpa Yao's words, then arrange my father to Yaozhou, my father is familiar with that place."

Obviously, Zhang Xiaobao asked on purpose.

Sure enough, the four old men shook their heads without thinking.

"Xiaobao, your father can't go to that place. Although it is both Shangzhou, there is Huayuan County from afar, which is so close to your Sanshui County. How could you arrange your father? Even if we agree, the court in the capital will not agree. Change the place."

When Old Man Liu heard that Zhang Xiaobao was going to arrange his father to Yaozhou, he shook his head vigorously. Zhang Zhong must not be allowed to go back in that place. The foundation of the Zhang family is there. If he was allowed to connect them, then it would be so close to the capital in the future, and things would be difficult to deal with.

"Then go to Luoyang and never arrange any actual jobs." Zhang Xiaobao was still bargaining.

When Old Man Bi saw that this would not work, he had to say, "I would like to discuss this matter again. Xiaobao, it's cold, can you arrange a few more activities, especially Taihu activities like the last time?"

When the four old men came, they actually thought of this problem, mainly for learning. After Zhang Zhong left, the next governor would do it.

Zhang Xiaobao really didn't think about any activities. He said it was cold or hot, and it was not like the one in the capital. He could organize it well.
