Chapter 115
With the successful birth of the first child, ten days later, two more children were born, all of which were mother and son (daughter) safe, which made the local people more confident.
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan saw that the children in the first family had no problems, they were relieved that the two of them took Li Xun and a bunch of people up the mountain. The training could not be stopped. This was also the last time the two of them took the Miaogu Team up the mountain, waiting to teach them the general theoretical things this time, and they would come over to strengthen the training themselves in the future.
In order to let them learn more, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan decided to find some good hunters in the mountains and let them learn more with the hunters.
As the two left, the Zhang and Wang families suddenly became less lively, and even the three dogs were taken away by the two.
Life should be passed and we have to continue living. Zhang Zhong is not with Zhang Wang every day now. After the first three months of Zhang Wang, he has basically stabilized. After all, he has given birth to a child once and is in a very good mood.
Zhang Zhong devoted most of his energy to the construction of this place. Although the people here are 15,000, because the place is large, many infrastructure constructions have to be done constantly. Especially after cement is available, some places that are prone to danger are reinforced with cement.
The thing that makes Zhang Zhong feel most happy every day is the moment he passes by the place with Cao and Rui. They have almost done the manure, but they have not yet gotten rid of the hard work.
Zhang Zhong didn't know what was the matter of Cao and Rui fighting, but he knew that Cao and Rui were definitely not at ease. Since that was the case, it was impossible to leave important things to the three of them, even if the three of them were very experienced when dealing with many things.
Cao and Rui have also found that they were deceived by Zhang Zhong. No one of the things they said at the beginning has done so far. To be precise, it was a different saying that made the three of them start to suffer here.
"Should you talk to Zhang Zhong well? If it really doesn't work, I will stop doing it and continue to do my own thing."
Jiang Huanshi really couldn't stand his current job anymore, just to get water into the ground. This job looked simple, so he took a shovel and then saw where he needed water. He got some in, but he found it very difficult to do it.
Although the weather is hot in this place, the water is cold now. You need to stand in the water frequently. They have never done such a job before. After a day, they feel cold when they go to bed at night. He suspects that he has been working in such a place for a long time and can't even walk in the future.
Fortunately, there are some warm wine for them every day, which allows them to be more skillful. When they return home at night, they drink it hard, and the next day they are confused and come out to continue doing things.
Therefore, he felt that since this was the case, it would be better to stop doing it. Instead, Zhang Zhong could not hand over important matters to himself and others through this method.
Cao Herui shook his head, and he had a different idea. He looked at the two people and said, "I think we should continue to do it. Since others can survive, we can also persist. Although we are not doing well now, there is one advantage that we have done, that is, it is to make Zhang Zhong more relieved.
Since the day Zhang Zhong came here, he has been inconsistent with us. Unfortunately, our ability is not as good as him. He has always been suppressed by him. Well, it is a bit emphasizing us. In this way, we were always unwilling to accept it before, which made Zhang Zhong want to make us have nowhere to live.
At this time, we are no longer a judge. We have lost our identity and the hardest and most tiring work we do. We should shout more and feel uncomfortable in the future, so that Zhang Zhong will gradually forget the three of us. When he suddenly remembers it, he will feel that it is meaningless to always fight against us. After all, we are too weak.
This time may be longer, but I think it won't be too long. If Zhang Zhong has not let us go, he pretends to faint on the ground while working. As long as he achieves his goal of not paying attention to us, it will be worth it. Can't hold on for two or three months?"
When Fan Jianxi and Jiang Huanshi heard Cao Herui's words, they nodded at the same time. This idea was really great. They numbed Zhang Zhong and asked Zhang Zhong to underestimate them. Then see how Zhang Zhong treats them. Perhaps it will be their chance at that time.
The three people reached an agreement on this issue.
In fact, if they don’t need to take this method, Zhang Zhong will not pay attention to them now. Zhang Zhong doesn’t have so much time to focus on them. He will let others take care of his future affairs. Zhang Zhong is busy with his own. The three of them don’t want to wait for Zhang Zhong to change his mind about them.
Recently, some people have come from the surrounding states, yearning for a good life in Luzhou. Most of them are mountain people, and life on the mountain is not easy now. It is mainly because it has a sharp contrast with the lives of the people in Luzhou. In addition, there are already many mountain people here who can communicate with the local people.
If Zhang Zhong hadn't come here, if he hadn't encountered a big disaster, he would have taken a long time to let the mountain people live together and the people, but so many accidental things happened together, which formed a unique phenomenon of unity here.
One after another, mountain people came down, and directly asked people from the tribe or tribe who could speak here to find Zhang Zhong and ask about work and residence.
After discovering this situation, Zhang Zhong seemed very happy and stayed in a fixed place for a while every day. In this way, the mountain people found Zhang Zhong and now they recognized Zhang Zhong, came down from the mountain, and then waited in a grass next to the place where Zhang Zhong wanted to go every day.
Even if there are Zhang Zhong's people here, they will not be exposed, and they will not come to say anything to these individuals. Only when Zhang Zhong arrives will they send people to discuss with Zhang Zhong and make some requests. In fact, their request is very simple, just ask Zhang Zhong if he can do what the notice says and what the mountain people usually say.
Every time the mountain people who came down the mountain looked very happy after being recognized by Zhang Zhong, they followed Zhang Zhong to the built houses, and they would do things immediately after a little resettlement.
Through these days and observations, Zhang Zhong found that mountain people were more active than local people and did not use too many incentive methods. They would take the initiative to ask for work. Zhang Zhong found the translator who recognized his godson and only then did he understand the reason after asking.
It turns out that when mountain people live on the mountain, they basically have to do things constantly every day, otherwise they will not be able to support the tribe or people in the tribe. Their status in the tribe or tribe depends on how much each person can do. The person with the highest status is the strongest person in the tribe and needs some experience.
Then, as those who can communicate with the people at the foot of the mountain, and then the people who work the most. This work actually refers to hunting and they cannot farm. After all, the people of the mountain cannot control the terraced fields. As for the firewood that burns fire, things like men are not done by them, they are all done by women.
There are also some women in the mountains who also have a high status, that is, they have more children. One is because there are more children, which can make the tribe stronger. The other is that there are so many children, especially boys. When they grow up, they will gain a considerable force. Who dares to bully their mothers?
After Zhang Zhong learned about this situation, he agreed to the request of the mountain people who had just settled down and were about to devote themselves to the work, and arranged some work for them to do.
Half a month passed, and more than 600 people came from other states one after another, and the mountain people were much more than those who came, with nearly 3,000 people. Together with more than 36,000 people, there were 40,000 people, and this population was already quite large.
Later, the mountain people were not familiar with farming, so Zhang Zhong thought about it and did not immediately ask these mountain people to be responsible for arable land. The latter was to grow grain, but asked them to hunt on the mountain or collect some wild fruits and other things.
In this way, the people who did this work were liberated and farmed. The wild fruits were to be made into wine, or made into dried fruits and sold after being sold. The same thing was the same as hunting and harvesting. These were delicacies and would be sent to the restaurant.
This is also the matter arranged by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. They have invested a lot of money in Luzhou. They can't continue like this. They need to get some books. Otherwise, it will affect the local development and make the local people unable to adapt to the life they leave in the future.
The people actually know this. Although they think that good officials are not short of money, it doesn’t matter whether they lack money or not. What’s important is that they and others cannot bear the benefits in vain. They are all people with hands and feet, and they are so capable that an official can support them. The people cannot do such things.
This is the backbone of simplicity, which changed some ideas from the beginning to the later events. This was much better than the people they were at that time. At that time, many people didn't work at all. With the development of the country, the welfare also improved a lot. Some people who were obviously rich also took advantage of various means. Compared with the people here, it formed a sharp contrast.
The governor of Ning in Qinzhou has been trying to deal with Zhang Zhong, but now he really can't make any moves. The population is too small and there is too much land to farm. In order to ensure the position of the governor, he had to arrange some of his family to work in farming.
Not only the people in the family, but even the local soldiers put down their weapons and picked up the tools for farming. As for whether this matter can be impeached, he can't control it. As long as there is no problem with the cultivation of grain, he will not be afraid of impeachment of using his troops to farm. Food is the most important thing.
"Master, if you continue like this, it seems that all the land here will be planted this year. There is no need to worry about the blame from above."
After watching the fields of the ground planted with various crops, the housekeeper seemed very happy and said to the governor Ning.
Governor Ning also breathed a sigh of relief. These days he had to come out to see everywhere every day. He really took this matter to heart. As long as he lived a few more days and waited for all the things he should plant, he could free up his hands to plot against Zhang Zhong.
"Okay, the fleet over there should have set off again, right? This time, you must not enter that bay. Going ashore directly in Lianzhou. At worst, it will take some effort to get the luck. Zhang Zhong, I must avenge this revenge."
Governor Ning urged the horse under his seat to continue walking, and said to the butler, looking at Luzhou, gritting his teeth and squeezed out words of revenge from his mouth.
The housekeeper nodded violently and said, "What the master said is that Zhang Zhong cannot pass by. After our fleet comes in two months, we will have a large amount of things that can be sold for more money. I will find a way to discuss with the surrounding state prefectures and prefectures, so that they will not buy the goods transported by Zhang Zhong, and see how much money Zhang Zhong can make here?
After all, the master stayed here longer than Zhang Zhong. The foundation of our Ning family is here. We are familiar with the people around us. Zhang Zhong, a later person, cannot compare with the master."
The housekeeper also had a secret hatred in his heart. One of the two ships that came last time was his relative, but he punched a few times when he was slightly blocked on the ship. No one felt anything about this. A servant who works, then hit him. How could anyone pay attention to it?
But for the butler, he couldn't swallow this. The relative's sister stayed on his couch all day. After seeing her brother, she saw that her brother was beaten, so she naturally stopped doing it. When she was fine, she served the butler first and then started to blow the wind beside her pillow.
In order to make himself look more like a man, the housekeeper agreed to a lot of things, hoping that this woman can serve him more comfortably.
Governor Ning also knew about the housekeeper's affairs, so he didn't say much. In fact, he couldn't control it at all. A family as big as the Ning family has gone too much. Although he is now the governor of a state and is the current patriarch, if there is really something, what he said is not that way. There are still many people who can ****** him.
This time, I got several large ships from the Yellow River. Four of them had already been loaded with things. It should have been nearly a month since I came out. In the next two months, I believe that those individuals can get to the place by rowing hard.
These ships were not bought from the Yellow River Boat Festival. There were no ships there, but people were found from Kaifeng. The ships that came were not just four of their own houses, but also from some other ships who also saw the business opportunities here. These ships formed a large fleet and came towards this side.
Governor Ning was looking forward to them getting to the place soon. He had already planned. If he continued walking along the beach, more local local production capacity would be collected. But he was planning to lead those individuals to Luzhou, and his own ship was ashore in Lianzhou, and then arrange people to go to the boats of these individuals and enter the bay under the banner of the Ning family in Qinzhou.
In this way, as long as the dock in Luzhou still charges money and intercepts goods, Zhang Zhong can mess with people he shouldn't be messed with. One person may not be afraid, but if these individuals gather together, they will keep causing trouble for Zhang Zhong. If Zhang Zhong fights back, there will be a lot of more enemies. If he gives in, he will continue to find more people to come.
Let’s see what Zhang Zhong will do? If you continue to give in, the transaction here will eventually be occupied by others. After Zhang Zhong worked hard for such a long time, his family took out money and he may lose all his money in the end, which can be considered as a revenge on Zhang Zhong.
Thinking of these things, Governor Ning couldn't help but laugh, and the butler next to him was inexplicably surprised.
"I have already considered it. Since I can't get the tea and cement prescription directly, let others come. It's nothing without the prescription. As long as Zhang Zhong can't keep the prescription at that time, I wrote to them and said that they don't believe it yet. Did they not see the cement in the capital?
OK, let them come and see the things here with their own eyes, especially the wharf and the road made of cement. I don’t believe that they are not moved. When they come, they will drink the tea we bought from other merchants at a high price. Didn’t they say that only the tea in the capital can achieve such an effect? After they taste the tea here, what do you think they will do it?"
Governor Ning explained to the butler who looked puzzled and asked the butler again.
The housekeeper immediately continued, "Then they knew that it was not a matter of tea, but a matter of this method. As long as there was a method, tea from anywhere could be achieved, and even the taste of tea from different places had its own advantages.
In this way, they will think about getting the prescription and cement prescription. If it is just one prescription, they may find it difficult and give up. But if there are two prescriptions, they will definitely say one prescription first. If Zhang Zhong disagrees, they will say another prescription. If there are two prescriptions to choose, it will be too disrespectful.
Their individuals are not powerful themselves, but they are a group of people, and there are many people behind them. In this way, they will keep saying bad things about Zhang Zhong. If they say too much, naturally those behind them will find ways to deal with Zhang Zhong. No matter how powerful Zhang Zhong is, he will not dare to go against so many people, right? It is so happy to think about it.
Master, you are still great. I didn’t expect such a method. This is called killing people with a knife. Then Zhang Zhong will not have time to take care of us. We can find a way to make trouble in Luzhou and make Zhang Zhong lose more.”
The two of them had a common topic, and it was a very relaxed topic, which at least made them feel better. So they began to talk about this topic. It seemed that the troubles on Zhang Zhong were about to come, and then Zhang Zhong was beaten without any strength to fight back.
Zhang Zhong arranged some simple things and began to talk about the next fleet to the manager next to him. The Zhang family's ship actually left half a month ago, but after changing to the propellers made by the Ministry of Works, the speed will be faster than the original one. In addition, it was to go to Zhejiang and Hangzhou for supplies once, and you didn't stop halfway. You could get there in just over a month.
The goods that came this time were not what they needed in life that they brought to the people of Luzhou, but could sell some medium-sized goods at a price. Without shipping high-end goods, there were fewer people who consumed high-end goods. At least until others could accept them, the Zhang family would not transport them.
The medium-sized goods are sold to the merchants who cooperate with them. If you are willing to keep them yourself, then keep them yourself. If you think you can sell them at a higher price, you can buy more. This will not be priced immediately now, and the merchants need to explore it themselves. The Zhang family also wants to see the effect. After knowing the approximate price of the goods, they can price the merchants.
This is also impossible. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are not real gods. Even if Zhang Xiaobao is very sensitive to business matters, it also requires market research. There are not so many people, and the market here also has its own special characteristics and is not so easy to investigate.
I had to ask the merchants to help explore the way, see how far the merchants can do, and then adjust according to this.
"When the fleet comes, you can see some tall seedlings here. The Ning family has not given up yet and has joined forces with many people to come and do business together. But is the transaction here so easy to do? Maybe they can continue to see where we have not been to before."
Zhang Zhong stood on the ridge with his hands behind his back, watching the people working hard in the field and said to the managers responsible for the place next to him.
In fact, I can't control anything these days. The people don't need him to care about it. They all work consciously in the field, and they work very hard. What they need to do is organize the cooking person. At the same time, they see that the person in the field is tired and still keeps resting. Then they have to pull him out and take a break.
The land can be planted a little slower, but people must not have any trouble. People are the most important.
After hearing the master's words, he nodded and said, "Master, they are here, what should I do if there is a conflict between Wan? The Ning family must have no good intentions."
"We don't have to worry about this anymore. Let Xiaobao and Juanjuan handle it at that time. They should come back in a few days. The business matters belong to me. I believe Xiaobao and Juanjuan can do it well."
