Chapter 315: Two hearts in the same time

When Feng Changgong heard Wang Juan’s last question, he didn’t say anything. He knew who would listen to Tong'an County.

He didn't say anything, but Wang Juan didn't plan to do so. He said worriedly: "Oh, County Magistrate Feng, no matter how you say it, you are the county Magistrate. You won't let others come to build workshops, right? Without workshops, don't transport things from Baoxin County. If you don't transport things, you don't have to lead the river."

If Feng Changgong didn't listen to Wang Juan talking about this matter today, he might not have thought that the workshop was built to lure the river. He has been thinking about how to plot against Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan these two days.

At this time, Wang Juan reminded him and thought about it. Should he stop it?

As soon as the idea appears, he will be severely slapped out by himself. That is absolutely not possible. It is no different from seeking death. If you really do it, let alone others, you will not be able to rely on the backer behind you. If you don’t do it well, you will be the first to deal with yourself.

It was intentional, and Wang Juan did it on purpose.

Feng Changgong thought so, and when he looked at Wang Juan again, he smiled and said, "Mr. Wang is so kind, but unfortunately, I didn't say anything about not being able to lead water to Bao County. If you have the ability, you can guide you."

"Then let you see, I'll be able to attract this water." Wang Juan looked angry.

Feng Changgong was not in the mood to eat fish by the river now. He snorted coldly and turned away, and parted with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

After Feng Changgong took the people away, the old man realized that Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan and County Magistrate Feng were not so harmonious, and seemed to be the enemy.

"Miss Wang's girl, this County Magistrate Feng is not simple. People from the prefecture had to deal with him, but he had to deal with him. Be careful."

The old man kindly reminded Wang Juan.

"I know, thank you, grandpa. Will that grandpa be willing to help see the place?" Wang Juan didn't go to inquire about Feng Changgong in detail, because he was not famous and had never heard of this number before, so he was naturally ranked among the unattracted ranks.

The old man did not hesitate any more and nodded and agreed, "Okay, I will go find me at that time. My family lives in the county town, behind Shengrong Rice Store. My surname is Lu. When I go to the place, I will know who I am. Old Man Lu is fishing, hehe."

After saying that, the old man was about to leave, but he caught too many fish today, which seemed very difficult.

Wang Juan waved to the grass not far away, and two people suddenly appeared there, which scared the old man. He never knew that there was someone hidden in the grass.

"Send the old man home so I can recognize the door." Wang Juan ordered, and the two of them helped lift the old man's fish. The old man had not forgotten to give Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan the fish weighing more than three pounds, and walked back with the two guards. It was estimated that they would have to be in the afternoon when they got home.

The old man left, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not ready to continue looking at the terrain. The two looked at each other and walked towards a house next to them, intending to go to the kitchen to make the fish, and buy some other things by the way. They will deal with it at noon. The guards will find something to eat by themselves, so they don’t have to worry too much.

Perhaps it was because the fish was really delicious, or perhaps it was because I hadn't eaten such a simple braised fish for a long time, and I felt nostalgic. Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao felt it was delicious after eating it. They also invited four people to eat it together. They bought two dishes from the copper coins they stolen. The six of them were very happy.

The woman from the restaurant kept exaggerating Xiaobao's skills, and she didn't forget to tell Wang Juan that she would do more in the future and that men should not cook, and that she would have an occasional meal.

"Xiaobao, I think Feng Changgong cannot stop Li Xun." Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao on the way back.

"Do you really think he is stupid? I guess he is thinking about how to take credit for it. It's useless. When I get back, I will go to the official post to Beijing."

Zhang Xiaobao didn't expect Feng Changyi to take action on this matter at all. If that were the case, it would save a lot of trouble.

"Then we have to deal with his strategy now, which is very effective. Now we need to use curses to treat diseases. We believe everything from top to bottom, and it is probably not easy to reverse."

Wang Juan thought that Feng Changgong's plan was difficult to break, so he waited for Feng Changgong to find another Taoist priest to come here to pretend, which would make the people more convinced.

Zhang Xiaobao said disapprovingly: "Don't forget what I do. There is a saying that the best way to deal with cavalry is cavalry. We do this too, it's better than him. For example, I suddenly found a piece of oil paper in the belly of a fish with words on it. There are many ways to do it. Go back and think about a few."

"You are too bad, okay, just do it like this and make more fools." Wang Juan felt confident and thought it was a very interesting thing.

As soon as the two returned to the county, Zhang Xiaobao started writing letters and asked someone to take them back to stamp them, and sent them to the capital through official channels.

This time it is not a private message, it must be done through the rules, otherwise the goal will not be achieved.

Before Li Xun knew about it, many people came to Xincai County. Under his banner, they started to do what the storyteller said.

The people were ready, and they were just as Prince An invested money. Anyone who had planted soybeans brought sesame seeds. Anyone who had idle at home would pick up chickens and piglets. The craftsmen also gathered by the river and waited for orders before starting work.

Feng Changgong has been busy these days, going up and down to the river every day to check the progress of the project and saying a few words of encouragement, just as if the Prince of Tong'an was able to come to invest in it.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not return to the county center and lived directly by the river. They followed Old Man Lu next to them, checking the earth's atmosphere in the morning, noon and evening, and explaining the mystery to Zhang Xiaobao and the others. The two of them didn't understand it, probably because they were not talented.

On the ninth day after the construction of Rushui started, the most important figure in Xincai County was welcomed, and Li Xun came.

Li Xun did not take a boat at all, but came on a horse and raised pigeons in Shuzhou. Last month, he asked someone to send them to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to Baoxin County, saying that he had something to do and could not run away casually. He was preparing to go back to the capital for a while to go on a blind date. He didn't know what the person he was looking for, so he went there first and checked out if there was too much difference, so he would ask Zhang Xiaobao to discuss countermeasures.

When Xincai County was reported that he was coming to invest, Zhang Xiaobao sent him a letter with a pigeon. He felt itchy and was unwilling to stay in Shuzhou, so he ran over with this excuse and brought six hundred guards and appeared on the banks of the Rushui River in a vast way.

It was noon when we came, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were having dinner with everyone at the construction site. Adhering to their usual style, everyone who works has something delicious and delicious.

I ate two dishes and one soup yesterday, but today there is only one soup, and the staple food and vegetables are put together, the mutton and the soup is fish soup.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan specially picked lean meat and stuffed it into the cake. When they saw others stuffing a large piece of sheep oil in, they couldn't help but tremble.

When Li Xun arrived, the two of them had just wanted a few sips but hadn't tasted the soup. They all said that the sheep and fish were fresh together. The two of them didn't feel it, but they just felt it fishy, ​​so they couldn't put more chopped green onions and coriander.

"Haha, Roujiamo, okay, give me one, don't add coriander, or more chopped green onions. I haven't eaten it there for a long time. You guys eat it yourself, don't wait for someone to serve."

Li Xun's arrival surprised others, but it could not move Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. The two of them were still eating, so Li Xun approached and ordered the chef who specially served people, and shouted at the 600 people he brought.

Suddenly there were six hundred more people, so the chef had to do it right away. This is the prince's person.

If it were the chefs of Zhang and Wang, they would not be so nervous. They always met before, but the chefs here were found in the local area. When they saw Li Xun, they excitedly stuffed him a large piece of mutton oil, with more chopped green onions and no amount of coriander. Li Xun politely took it to his hand and turned around and gave it to the person who was protecting him.

"You eat it and make up for it more. Don't wander in front of me, Xiaobao and Juanjuan are here."

After giving the guards a commander, Li Xun had to do it himself, lamenting that the person who came to Xincai County to cook temporarily could not catch up with the professional chefs of Zhang and Wang's family.

"Eat some pickles?" Zhang Xiaobao pushed the only plate of pickles in front of him and Wang Juan to Li Xun. They were all acquaintances, so they didn't have to be so polite.

"Yeah, eat." After taking a bite of the cake, Li Xun saw that there was no pickle in front of others. He knew that it was brought by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan himself, and it must be good. Perhaps it was the pickle made by Zhang Xiaobao himself, and he hadn't tasted it for several months.

The news of Li Xun's arrival soon spread, and the people inquired, and when they knew that the Prince of Tong'an was having dinner with the people on the construction site, they felt even more fond of Li Xun.

After drinking a Roujiamo, Li Xun was not afraid of fishy food, and drank more than half a bowl of fish soup. When making another Jiamo, he said to Zhang Xiaobao: "If you do things under my banner, you are not afraid of making mistakes that will implicate me. There is no donkey meat bun here. Why did the donkey meat you invited me to eat last time feel that it was better than the mutton meat you have today?"

"I just want to implicate you. I don't want to use your banner to share your share. When the day is hot, there will be a deal. I will help me promote the pork with plum vegetables. I only have 10% of the dry stocks. The donkey meat and Jiamo you ate last time was made by me, and the mutton I ate today was made by local people as a chef.

I want to eat donkey meat, but I am afraid that the donkeys in the county will not be enough to kill them. The people with donkeys will fight to me. If you have the ability to kill a few cows, you will eat braised beef for the people on the construction site tomorrow."

As Zhang Xiaobao was talking, Wang Juan took out two more iron cans of pickles from his bag, pointed to one of them and said to Li Xun:

"This is the beans made from plum vegetables, which contain diced beef. I can't bear to kill the strong cows on purpose, nor do I want to let go of them, nor are they the old cows that have been plowing all their lives. Try them, the other one is canned food, which someone has sent to you. This canned food is the canned food you want to make plum vegetables."

Without waiting for Wang Juan to help him, Li Xun started to do it himself. He opened the can first, leaned closer to smell it carefully, nodded and said, "It's fragrant, you sent me three hundred cans last time. I ate more than a dozen of them myself. The others are rewarded to excellent training guards, and I don't say I'll give you more."

"That's three hundred canned elbows, or front elbows. The amount is large and there is no fake. You can make four canned elbows with two front elbows. Next time you give me a thousand pigs, I'll give you five thousand cans. Did you write the memorandum you wrote?"

Zhang Xiaobao didn't lie. The canned food he sent was really a pig's front elbow. Don't look small. Once you make it, it's very useless. It's skin-cleared and boned. There's not much good meat. If you tighten the water, it turns into a small ball. But it's really a military-industrial product.

"I wrote it, I guess I'm about to arrive in the capital, with 5,000 pigs. No problem, you must not think of how many poultry and animals there are in Shuzhou now. The people are well raised. They also said that I am a good prince and I can't even eat it for gifts to give me. All the remaining pork is made into bacon.

The chickens are also dried. Next time, the people will give you a gift on the festival. I will give you half of the can. It’s okay to make the can bigger. Five thousand is fine. I don’t care. The people in the city also asked about your house and said they would bring things to see it. I persuaded them. The people of Wangjiang specially built a big house by the river. It was four floors, all wood, with large bottoms and small tops, and named Xueen Pavilion.

I guess it was just that I went there and said a few bad things about Wang Juan. The people could rush over and beat me up. I was so jealous that I was so jealous. What did the official who asked me to say bad things look like? I haven't even seen him, so I will help you, and you tell me how to compensate me."

Li Xun finally stopped being his prince. He was very relaxed in front of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and said excitedly.

It’s noon in Xincai, and it’s noon in Beijing.

The officials were also having dinner, but some people were in a bad mood today and had no appetite for eating anything. The most obvious performance was between two people.

One is Zhang Jiuling and the other is Zhang Shuo.

Zhang Xiaobao's memorial has been delivered. Today, the official post is slow, far inferior to the pigeon.

Zhang Jiuling saw the memorial and Zhang said that he also saw it. Zhang said that it would be difficult not to see it. This is the first time that Zhang Xiaobao used his official status to submit a memorial. Everyone was surprised. What exactly made Zhang Xiaobao stop flying.

As a result, when I looked at the memorial, it was written about Zhang Xiaobao's explanation of the joint affairs of Xincai County and Baoxin County.

It’s nothing to unite. All officials who can come into contact with feel that it’s very common. I think even, your Zhang and Wang families are very capable, and they can build the local area anywhere. It would be great if they can bring them to Xincai County.

But the problem is that the memorial is not about uniting, but about helping Xincai County to bring it from Zhongxian, but did not write a letter to our state, and insisted on going directly to Beijing, and praised Feng Changgong and other officials in Xincai County, which was praised as a rare person in the sky and no one on the earth.

It is said that when the joint efforts were made, the officials of Xincai County helped a lot, and they were all outstanding in their abilities, which meant that they would be promoted. Such people could not continue to stay in the same county. Unlike themselves and Juanjuan, they were still young and had to train more. If County Magistrate Feng tried again, they would be old.

This is also common. Although the officials don’t know how capable Feng Changgong is, and let Zhang Xiaobao praise him, since Zhang Xiaobao said it is OK, then let me mention it.

But there is another saying later, saying that the capital city will conduct more inspections on County Magistrate Feng, because many people are good at serving as officials below, and once the positions are different, they will easily change. In terms of literature, if they think it is good, they can also conduct special investigations on this.

Officials also understand this matter. They are afraid of taking responsibility, and if they fail again, the investigation is inevitable.

But the last thing that was said made everyone unable to guess Zhang Xiaobao’s purpose.

Since the memorial mentioned that the main officials in the county were promoted and burdened, new officials had to go there. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Zhang Xiaobao, and the appointment of a new official was the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel.

But Zhang Xiaobao nominated six of them in a row, saying that three of them could be selected.

For other officials, they just pretend that Zhang Xiaobao is out of power and that the Zhang family has done too many things that exceed power, so they can't even pursue it.

But it’s different for Zhang, because the six people Zhang Xiaobao mentioned are all from Yuwen Rong. To be honest, it’s really good, and they are the kind of people who can really do things.

The problem is that Yuwen Rong and Zhang Shuo didn't like each other. At that time, Zhang said that although he was the prime minister, he could not be the official of Yuwen Rong at all. When Yuwen Rong went out to do things, he could not pass through his Secretariat and belong to the emperor's direct jurisdiction. Later, Zhang Shuo established a special institution and was able to manage Yuwen Rong again, but Yuwen Rong was still disobedient.

The one who belongs to the practical school is unity and opposite to Zhang Shuo’s academic school, but it is more in opposition.

Zhang Jiuling followed Zhang and said that he was obedient in his work. He was worried. His old housekeeper who had already stepped down was still staying at other people's house. It was not good for him to help anyone, and the Zhang family provided him with many helps. It was a dilemma.

So he felt that it was tasteless when he ate.

Zhang said that, let alone, he sent a list last time, specifically mentioned the Fengshan matters and snatched the position of his own arrangement. This time, he actually gave Yuwen Rong a quota of official positions that seemed to have become a good place.

Zhang said he wanted to go over and ask in person where your family was standing, saying that it was from the academic school. Yes, there was the title of the top scholar in the Jinshi class. Even the servants in the family were all aware of literature and ingenuity. It was right to say that they were from the practical school. They had accumulated a lot of political achievements, all of which were from the local area.

He shouldn't stand both ends, but he came over to find trouble at this time. Could it be that they knew what he said to the emperor last time?

Thinking of this in his heart, Zhang said that he couldn't eat anymore. He was angry and anxious. Zhang Xiaobao didn't mention his people. What he was anxious was that if he sent this memorial, he might be passed. Wouldn't he have lost a good place? That place is like Luzhou, which is specially used for promotions for officials.

As long as the officials there are not stupid and follow their original actions, they can be promoted in less than two years. If three of them are arranged to go over, they will be quickly raised and it will be more convenient to use in the future.
To be continued...
