After dinner, I took my younger brother and sister home. It was good afternoon to go to the lakeside. Xiaobei and the nine others were busy implementing the new candy house plan and finding someone to design it.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan found a lot of information to prepare for the subsequent martial arts.

*******

In the afternoon of that day, there were more officials coming to invest, so they handed over the savings voucher and asked their relatives if they could participate, but Li Longji refused without hesitation.

There are many officials with fifth rank or above in Beijing, and they are qualified to participate in the morning court. They are special departments, but officials with less than fifth rank also pay for them.

The most hesitant official in my heart is the officials who oppose Zhang and Wang families, who are afraid that they will not make money after investing money, and are deceived, and they are afraid that they will not invest money, so the benefits will be gone in the future.

At noon, they received news that, except for their gang of officials, other officials who could attend court had delivered things in the name of the throne of the throne.

For example, good things such as potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, ginseng, deer antlers, etc. are the ones that you can't buy with money.

They scolded Zhang Xiaobao for revenge, but were unwilling to change their attitude. With the contact of someone who was interested, everyone discussed and thought that it would be better to invest. If you make money, you, Zhang Xiaobao, will you, not give me some money?

So a rare scene appeared. The officials who were not in dealing with the Zhang and Wang families raised more money and sent it to the receiving place with the spirit of Feng Xiaoxiao.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhong shook his head helplessly. He knew that if his son Xiaobao really paid, it would be impossible not to give this part of the officials, but his son could not make any profit from the money invested, and to compensate another part of the officials from other aspects under other excuses.

"Hey~! I'd better pretend to be my weak personality. They are too strong, not good." Zhang Zhong muttered, lowering his head to continue thinking about the affairs of the Ministry of Works.

*******

The sunshine on the afternoon day shines warmly, and you don’t have to look up to see white clouds, sometimes turning into pigs, sometimes turning into sheep.

Zhang Ju, who worked in the Ministry of War, planned to find a restaurant to have dinner, and went to the telegram company to send a telegram to the place where his family is, and someone would help deliver it to his home.

He had made up his mind to take his family over and take two children who had never met before in the capital with his wife. He went to Furong Garden, the zoo, the Zhuangyuan Building for a meal, and then went to the east and west cities. He might not be able to see the new animals in the zoo, but if they really couldn't, they went to ask Zhang Jiedushi for help. He had to let the children go over and kowtow, and all the expensive gifts were collected.

Yes, Master Zhang said he was trying to solve the housing problem, but he didn't know if he had seen the emperor today.

Zhang Ju was walking on the road, in the high and low environment, he couldn't say what kind of mood he was now. He always felt very dazed. He had to walk this road every day in the capital, but today he seemed familiar and unfamiliar.

Everything around you is close to you, like the horizon, and you are floating when you step on it.

Zhang Ju, who was lost, walked to a small shop selling soup cakes according to his habit. He could only come out to eat by himself, either bringing food boxes, and no one made them. Unlike the Ministry of Works and Sinong Temple, where they have special canteens.

"Mr. Zhang, are you here?" As soon as Zhang Ju entered the store, the guy came up with a smile.

"Don't call me a master, I'm just a minor official. I'll give me a fried noodles and add meat sauce. If you don't eat noodles, isn't it just a penny? Thank you yesterday for teaching me how to speak and do things."

Zhang Ju waved his hand, found a nobody's position, and sat there sideways.

"That's called Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, what I told you yesterday is used? Who is the official you want to meet? Maybe I've heard of it." The guy used a rag to dust it on the clean table, asked with a smile, and then shouted at the kitchen behind him to the sauce noodles.

"It's not easy to use. What people want to hear is the truth. I understand. The older the official, the more kind the talent is." Zhang Ju said with emotion.

"Brother Zhang, you haven't said who it is yet. Tell me, I probably know." The guy was curious.

Zhang Juyi said, "Of course you know that I saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan go, and I will give you the money first, otherwise I will finish eating later and forget to go out, and give it to you, and then."

The guy with a blank look on his face was pulled over by Zhang Ju and stuffed him three cents.

"Hold it, don't lose it and say I didn't give it." Zhang Ju reminded again.

The guy then reacted, his hands trembled, and his voice trembled: "Zhang, Brother Zhang, you, are you seeing them? Have you seen them? What do you look like?"

"Look, I just said you know. When I saw it, it was different from what I thought. I looked like a handsome man and a handsome man. When I talked, I didn't feel that I was powerful. I was like chatting with friends. I even taught me to sing and give me wine. Then..."

Zhang Ju became more and more excited as he spoke. As a result, many people gathered around him, and they didn't dare to breathe loudly. They listened quietly. As they listened, they became excited, and they didn't know why they were doing.

It was not until the kitchen called the guy several times that everyone gave in and chose a seat again. The tables around Zhang Ju were all full. Because there were too many people snatching each other, they had to stay empty in the end.

The guy brought the noodles up and took out a penny to return it to Zhang Ju.

Zhang Ju looked at the noodles. In addition to the meat sauce, he also added a spoonful of egg sauce and asked in confusion: "Is this..."

"The egg sauce is added to you by Brother Zhang, the meat sauce noodles, two ounces." The guy seemed much more respectful. He could meet Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and talk to someone who could talk to him. It was worth a small spoonful of egg sauce.

"Didn't you say the price of meat has increased the day before yesterday, so add a penny? From eleven to eleven, are you planning to lose money in the store?" Zhang Ju thought the guy said this on purpose.

Before the guy could answer, a person next to him who was eating also said to Zhang Ju: "It's been rising, one day, just one day, yesterday it was ten quota, but today it turned into nine quota. Some people said that Zhang Xiaobao was angry, and what the hell is more than fifty percent.

Let the meat sellers spit out the extra money they earn in the past two days, and after spitting, they will return to the original price. It is not the one who sells meat, but the one who sells meat."

"Which?" Zhang Ju wondered.

"It's just the one who brought meat to the capital, one carriage and one ship of boats. Some people said they were frightened and knelt in front of Zhang Xiaobao all night last night." Another person said.

"Nonsense, Zhang Xiaobao was taking the exam yesterday. Can a meat-selling businessman enter the exam room? I didn't leave until midnight, why didn't I see it?" Zhang Ju retorted with facts.

"How did I know? Anyway, it's just a surrender. Except for Zhang Xiaobao, who can make the businessman afraid of the reaction of the mouse after walking and hitting the cat?" The man said dissatisfied.

Zhang Ju sighed again in his heart, "This is fame, but who knows that the person who said something and the entire Tang Dynasty's upper world would tremble likes to tell jokes."

"So, if you eat more meat sauce, are you busy again?" Zhang Ju asked the guy.

"I'll make money by being busy. In two days, I have to go out to work and deliver noodles to the city." The guy looked happy because the store belongs to his family and he will take over the shopkeeper in the future.

“There are work outside the city?”

"Brother Zhang, don't you know? The Ministry of War sent out a lot of imperial guards today to work with soldiers from Tubo outside the city and expand the city. Originally, it was to expand westward. Today, wasn't Zhang Xiaobao going to the palace to tell the emperor to expand to all directions?

The emperor agreed, expanded to all directions, and asked the army to dispatch, saying that it would be used as military training, and first build a house, and live in the area close to the current city for the soldiers' families, and say that they would spend the New Year together."

The guy is well-informed and talks to Zhang Ju.
