Chapter 270: Emergency on the Coast

Under the leadership of Fengwu Pavilion, many businessmen with some foundation came to donate money.

They do not think that a pennant can bring any benefits to the store. It is just that there is an additional recognition from Baoxin County. What is the use of recognition from a small place? What they care about is the homes of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

If an official comes to speak like this, he can use means to ***, such as how much money is spent, how much tax is reduced, how much benefit the county government will give, or collude with each other, but it will definitely not work for two children. If you don’t give money to others, you can collect money from your home immediately, and then you will turn your back on it.

Wang Juan didn't care what others thought, just take the money. While watching the merchant come over and press his handprints, he asked someone to find someone who specializes in Feng Shui to measure groundwater. It was very accurate. The groundwater hydrological magnetic field would affect the compass. As long as the person who measured Feng Shui was at a high level, he could measure it with one test.

At this time, Zhang Xiaobao also finished the accounts with Jiang Zhubo, and more than 200 guan of money evaporated. Zhang Xiaobao took the seal and left his seal on the handover document, and explained that Jiang Zhubo was not short of a penny, and if something happened again, it had nothing to do with Jiang Zhubo. It was considered to have taken the responsibility for Jiang Zhubo.

Jiang Zhubo wrote a document sent to the above to apply for demotion and retention, and sent it to the prefecture, waiting for Zhang Xiaobao to finish his work to teach him a new accounting method so that he could use practical actions to repay the 200 guan.

To be honest, Jiang Zhubo was actually a little aggrieved. He didn't share much money he lacked, but he just took a small amount, and it was not all his lack of one of his posts. Ren Ren Ren Ren Ren Ren Ren Ren Ren Ren Ren Ren Ren Ren Ren Ren Ren. Some of the former masters died, some were promoted, and the new masters Bo clearly knew they were missing, so they had to go ahead.

The main body is a small part, and most of it is still with the county magistrate. Jiang Zhubo didn't expect what to do when the new county magistrate arrived. He often said that the county magistrate could be promoted, but now it is not common. The two children seized power as soon as they came and checked the accounts. If they wanted to achieve any goal, they would probably deal with the county magistrate Ma.

In order to show his loyalty, Jiang Zhubo came to Zhang Xiaobao who wrote a document next to Wang Juan and whispered: "Zhang Zhubo, County Ma should have been promoted this time. It is said that someone from above helped him. Are you considering it in some aspects?"

"I don't care if he promoted him. As long as the new county magistrate is willing to hand over the transfer, I will calculate the accounts with the new county magistrate. When handing over, I will not check the warehouse. As long as there is money in the account, I will let him take out as much as possible."

Zhang Xiaobao recorded another record of willing to donate 50 s of money to repair the well, and asked someone to press his handprint, turned his head and said to Jiang Daobi.

Jiang Daobi thought about it and advised him: "If the Xin County Magistrate takes over and the County Ma is promoted, he will definitely protect the Xin County Magistrate, and the officials may be punished at that time."

"Oh, are you afraid of this? Who is above Ma County Ma? I really dare to protect him and clean up together. I don't believe that the current emperor likes him and wants to protect him. As long as the reason stands true, remember that no one in Baoxin County needs to care about it. The little tricks behind it are useless to me."

Zhang Xiaobao originally planned to accompany the officials to play for a while, but who made the water shortage here? It was too short before. The people had already gotten used to it. There was no way. When Wang Juan came, he would never allow him to continue to lack it. He would wait until the spring plowing was busy before playing.

Jiang Daobi really doesn’t know what Zhang Xiaobao told him when he came. Did he have all the insurance? The problem is that he heard that Zhang Zhong was sent to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to be an official. If he really had to work hard at home, why didn’t he stay in the capital? The capital is a good place.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaobao said something crazy, he had to flatter him and said, "Yes, Zhang Zhubo said yes."

"Next." Zhang Xiaobao shouted to the businessman who came over, and immediately another businessman said how much he paid.

There are hundreds of people, and tens of people are small. It seems that they are not much, but it doesn’t take too much money to dig a well. If the water layer is shallow, tens of people are enough to support the wear of tools and the stones used to surround the well, the people who work will not ask for wages, so they do it themselves. Who cares about the money?

After a busy morning, all the things that should be handled were basically handled. In the afternoon, Wang Juan was about to sit in the hall to ask about the case. She memorized all the laws and prepared to practice them.

The people of Baoxin County cannot regard the two children as officials no matter what. They think that the two children are good-looking and are willing to take a look. As long as they are not too injustice, they will not talk to the yamen after discussing small frictions between neighbors, so as not to make things difficult for the children.

In this way, the people resolved the conflicts caused by trivial matters in the county, which seemed very harmonious.

Compared to the warmth and coolness of Baoxin County, Luzhou is so hot that it can't wear too many clothes. Some people who go out to sea to fish are even shirtless and let the sea breeze blow the scorching sun.

Since the two chambers of commerce of Zhang and Wang families remained in the local area, the lives of the people have been getting better day by day. The new officials acted very honestly according to the method Zhang Zhong stayed.

It’s not that they don’t want to show themselves, but that they find that they really can’t think of a better way to manage the local area. The people only recognized Zhang Zhong’s method and tentatively posted a notice. The people would not respond and could only give up.

In addition, he lived in a beautiful house left by Zhang Zhong, and also the land that could produce a lot of crops left by the officials. The income of officials was also very high. When officials went to the local area, they would have a piece of land to pay their salary. The land left by Zhang Zhong was good.

Even if officials are not greedy, they can save thousands of guan of money when their term is over. With the large amount of money given by the local chamber of commerce, it is much better than taking risks to embezzle.

Of course, no one bribed during his term. The previous governor had reluctantly left. He had earned more than 2,600 guan from the field, 10,000 guan from the last time he saw off, and the local people's form written by the local people. He would return to the capital to report his duties. There would be a better position waiting for him.

After the new governor learned about this, he also did what the people in front of him did. There were actually not many things in the mansion, and most of them were completed by the local government. When the local government completed the task, the most comfortable thing for officials was that there was no case of stealing in the local area and hurting people.

The people joined the branches to work together, and the relationship between them was in the same boat when they were affected by the disaster, so everything was easy to discuss.

On this day, the weather was clear and cloudless. Zhang Pingwang, the new Luzhou governor, came out to take a walk, bringing a small follower without even needing a guard. Walking on the spacious street, nodding to the greeting people, and then looking at the transportation teams, there was no time to find something to do.

"Master, will you leave Luzhou next year? I really can't bear to leave." The followers have heard that someone is coming to take over again. The term of the governor of Luzhou is very short. Is it a good place? Everyone wants to squeeze in here and make enough political achievements and continue to be promoted.

"It's probably true. You can only stay here for two years at most. Everyone is waiting for others to give up their seats. Zhang Zhong didn't stay for long at the beginning."

Zhang Pingwang was also reluctant to leave. It was great. There were not so many troubles. He usually read books in the study, or sneaked out to see the scenery when there was no fake, chatted with the local academy teachers, and the other was to go to the tourist place on the mountain for two days.

There are not many tourists there yet, and they are all the children of relatively wealthy people in the surrounding prefectures. Judging from the regular input and output, the mountain is obviously losing money, but who made it the place for the prince? It doesn’t care about losing money. There are other private transactions of the prince in the local area.

The two walked forward again and stood in front of a small stall selling cold drinks. The seller squatted there and wrote on a small blackboard with chalk. Today, the coconut juice was newly arrived and the price was marked so that others could know.

After writing the words, the seller turned his head and saw that it was the governor. He immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is not busy? I'm so good to drink a bowl of cold coconut juice."

While talking about this person, Zhang Pingwang didn't leave anymore. He found a seat next to him and waited for someone to bring the coconut juice.

Two bowls of coconut juice were placed on the small table, and the seller took some rock candy and placed it next to it. He felt it was not sweet enough, so he added it to it himself.

Zhang Pingwang picked up the bowl and took a sip, nodded and praised: "It tastes good, it's cool from the outside to the inside. Is it okay to make a business?"

"Okay, I can sell a lot of money a day. People from other states still envy me, saying that there is no one here to make trouble. Haha, I don't look at where this place is. Luzhou, who is doing trouble?"

The seller raised his head and replied proudly.

After hearing this person's words, Zhang Pingwang also felt in his heart, yes, who dares to make trouble in Luzhou? It is not the place where exile was exiled or exiled, but it is a fairyland on earth, but all this has nothing to do with him, and it is left by Zhang Zhong, who has long since left office.

I admire this, this is the ability. It is impossible to admire it or not. I guess Zhang Zhong wants to rebel. As long as he goes to Luzhou to climb a high place, the local people will respond one after another, but he is just a passerby. He came to Luzhou for two years and went back with his political achievements and money. The hearts of the people of Luzhou will always belong to Zhang Zhong.

"Do it well, go to the capital to see it, it's good." Zhang Pingwang said to the person selling cold drinks after drinking a bowl of coconut juice after he stood up and was about to leave.

"What Governor Zhang said is that I really want to save more and go elsewhere, go to the capital, and then give him something to Governor Zhang. I haven't thought about it for a few years. At that time, Governor Zhang pulled me, otherwise I would be washed away by the water."

The stall owner said happily, looking yearning for him.

Zhang Pingwang knew that the governor Zhang whom he called was not himself. Perhaps the local people had never admitted to other governors. Zhang Zhong never lived in vain in his life. When could the people in the places he had been thinking about him so much?

The follower didn't say anything and walked silently behind the master. As for the money for cold drinks, he didn't give them, and he didn't want them to take them out. In various places in Luzhou, local officials did not spend money on eating. If they said it was a benefit, the merchant would bear the small amount, and sign the letters for the large amount, and the people from the chamber of commerce would finally settle the settlement.

There is only one requirement, that is, to be a good official, not to cause trouble for the people, to cause trouble for the people, to cause trouble for yourself, and to organize several activities on a daily basis, you will be a good official.

After walking for a while, Zhang Pingwang said to his entourage: "Let's go to the pier to see. There should be ocean-going fishing boats coming back to see if there is anything new."

The entourage immediately went to find the car. In a short while, a very well-decorated carriage stopped beside Zhang Pingwang. The two got on the car and said to go to the dock. The person who drove the car drew his whip and headed towards the dock.

The car was walking on the spacious and flat road, with green trees and flowers on both sides. During this season, when you open the curtain, you can see the big, red kapok flowers on the trees, like the lives of the people of Luzhou.

"I feel good on the road. Do you have to attract a lot of people every day?" Zhang Pingwang was bored, opened a small window in front and said to the person who was driving the car.

"As you said, it's really good. Unfortunately, the flowers bloomed, but the governor Zhang didn't see these kapok flowers that he brought to the people. I don't know when he was free, so I came to see the flowers and let us see him."

The coachman looked at the big flowers on both sides and thought of Zhang Zhong, which aroused the longing in his heart, and tears fell down one by one.

Zhang Pingwang saw the driver's eyes wiping his eyes, and his eyes turned red, and asked again: "Are you a local person too?"

"The mountain people lived on the mountain. Later, when the governor Zhang arrived, he caught the disaster, so he called us down to settle down, repaired houses for us, taught us to read, and there was also a place specially used to give birth to children. The children at home also went to the school. If the elderly were unwilling to stay at home, they would go to the nursing home. Lord Zhang, do you know what governor Zhang is doing now?"

The coachman talked about what happened after going down the mountain and suddenly wanted to ask for some news from Zhang Pingwang.

"It is said that I went to Luoyang to become an official, and my grade is quite high." Zhang Pingwang just got the news. He was of course concerned about the affairs of the Zhang and Wang families when he became an official in Luzhou, so he said to the coachman.

The coachman was happy now, "That's right, Governor Zhang must be a high-ranking official."

"But the officials in Luoyang have no power, they are not as powerful as those in the capital, and they are almost the same as those in retirement." Zhang Pingwang thought for a while and still told this.

The coachman stopped the car and turned his head, "Why? Why don't you give governor Zhang power? Why do you want him to retire? No, Lord Zhang, get off the car first. I'll go to ask someone and go to Beijing if you ask clearly. Who put governor Zhang in that position? If you don't do it, I won't do it."

As I speak, I'm about to drive people away.

Zhang Pingwang quickly stopped him, "Slow, slow, I haven't finished speaking yet, you can't find a group of people to enter Beijing, that would hurt Zhang Zhong. I heard that Zhang Zhong was willing to go to Luoyang by himself, and no one would drive him away, otherwise he would arrange an official position in the capital. What do you know? Zhang Zhong was the first person in the Tang Dynasty to choose an official position by himself.

He wanted to be an official in any place, and the court sent him to wherever he wanted to go. He was too young and needed to go through more things, so he ran to Luoyang. The place was no longer suitable for him. He was tired of staying in Luoyang and would go to Beijing. Unlike other officials, he would have to work hard to go wherever he wanted to go, and he rarely succeeded."

When talking about this, Zhang Pingwang became jealous. When others became officials, it was arranged by the superiors. He had to come to Luzhou after a lot of struggles. Zhang Zhongke, he would like to say where he wanted to be an official in advance. No matter whether there is anyone in that place, he would have to make it aside and he would be able to go there.

Not only him, but even his children, went to Baoxin County to be the magistrate of Bohe County. It is said that when he asked, he could not be too far away from home and could not go to the prosperous county. As a result, he picked them up and picked them to Baoxin County.

How can you be an official like this? You have to be able to take care of them everywhere, hey~!

Zhang Pingwang was depressed, but the coachman was happy and continued to move the car. He smiled and said, "Really? That's about the same. I just said, how could Governor Zhang be afraid of others? Yes, the court did the right thing. When he thought of becoming an official, he would let him go somewhere. If he thought it was not fun, he would change it. In this way, Governor Zhang is fine now and is idle.

Hey? If I discuss with others, would it be okay to ask the governor Zhang to come and have a walk? If I am really in a hurry, I might as well just drive the car to take my family to Luoyang. Where are his Xiaobao and Juanjuan? Both of them have grown up, right?"

"I've grown up and been several years old. I heard that I went to Yizhou to fight against Tubo for a whole period of time. Two kids led the army, with only 10,000 people, and they fought against a dozens of thousands of Tubo troops."

Zhang Pingwang felt uncomfortable when he heard the coachman's words. What did the court do the right thing? Whose Tang was the Tang Dynasty? Whose court was the court? Is it wrong not to let Zhang Zhong go back and forth, so he deliberately wanted to scare the coachman.

But after hearing this, the coachman immediately said, "The Tubo is over, have the two kids killed a lot of people?"

"How did you know?" Zhang Pingwang asked in confusion.

"You still need to ask? Of course I know that the two children were in charge of this and that when they were affected by the disaster in Luzhou, which is amazing. When fighting wars, isn't it just a military force? His family has money and he will take out money to tell the people in Tubo, if you betray, I will give you money. The people in Tubo will betray you obediently, right?"

The coachman was not worried that the two little guys would be hurt when they arrived on the battlefield. He had his own theory.

At this time, Zhang Pingwang's entourage smiled, "How could it be what you think? Tubo soldiers cannot buy them at all when fighting. Juanjuan is powerful, and he brought ten thousand people to the scene, killing the Tubo army, and dared not advance... and... where are your car going?"

Zhang Pingwang's entourage began to tell the coachman what he heard. As he was talking, it was more than an hour after that, and suddenly he found that the direction was wrong. He followed the road and had to go around a long way and stopped and asked.

"Ah? It's okay. You said you, I just want to listen more. It's time for you to get off the bus. After hearing this, I'll tell others that I'll hurry up and take a detour. Look at the scenery. Look, how beautiful the flowers in the flower bed outside."

The coachman blushed, and the little plot was discovered, so he quickly explained.

The entourage regretted it. He had known that he wouldn't talk much. Now he would have to wait until the place was midnight. It would not take a short time to get to the dock from Fucheng to the pier, and he would take a detour.

"Tell me, don't stop, I'll change it back and pass through the intersection in front, without delay, really without delay." The coachman urged again.

Seeing that he had already made a mistake, Zhang Ping nodded and signaled his followers to continue speaking.

The coachman is so happy that he is waving his head all the way to drive the car. He also listens to the stories of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. He is so happy and cheers when he hears the excitement.

Before he arrived at the dock, the story was finished. The follower was not a storyteller, he just talked about the general situation. Only what he learned was said was more detailed.

The coachman heard the end and paused and said, "Okay, I'll learn it all the time. Listen, if what is wrong, remember to tell others, I'll tell others. The young master and the young lady are indeed extraordinary. One day, the court sent troops to Tubo, and then fought and fought. The troops in front were beaten away. What should I do? It's okay, the young lady took the people there and after she arrived at the place..."

The coachman said what he had just heard in combination with his own language. It was really vivid than the tutor's words. Even so, the tutor was tortured, dozing off in a daze, and was woken up from time to time to ask.
To be continued...
