Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 550
[Chapter 175 Sending troops to search in the middle of the night]
…Hao Ri was sweating on his head, rushing to lift the inlay, and it was difficult to cool off the heat. “Stepping on” is easier to cool than the cabinet.
The cold melon quenches thirst and melts the heat, and the mung bean porridge is mixed with rock sugar.
Move mountains and build bridges Mo Yanku, extending in all directions to build a hometown.
Li Xun’s road construction project has been in progress, and it is all his own money, so the imperial court will not provide funds for his fief. This year, he has already spent 30,000 yuan of rent before he can get it.
Seeing the people who are not lazy when working, Li Xun is also happy to spend money. Following Zhang’s practice, the people who build roads are also responsible for food and wages.
The common people are not slaves, and work consumes a lot.
It’s good to supplement nutrition. The first meal in the morning is salt water beans and sorghum water rice. People usually eat this kind of thing, and there are green trees, etc., but they can’t afford salt water beans, and they dare not eat water rice. , that would consume too much food.
When building the road, Li Xun paid for it. As long as he didn’t eat the delicacies of mountains and seas, he didn’t care. Eat it. The more you can eat, the stronger you will be.
Wait until noon to change dishes, according to nutrition.
One meat and one vegetarian, the vegetarian is all kinds of local vegetables. If it is meat, there are only three choices: pork, fish and chicken. Except for the local fish, pork and chicken are all provided by Sanshui County or Yaozhou.
Relying on his own fleet, what Li Xun does is to exchange goods from the north to the south, not counting the freight, when one pig is delivered to Shuzhou, it has become the price of two pigs, ice money.
Such wealth and wealth reassure the people that a provincial governor has a lot of money in his family, and a county king also has a lot of money, so there is no need to worry about charging more rent and taxes in the name of nothing.
Adhering to the caring methods of Zhang and Wang’s family, except for eating.
The rest is mung bean rock candy water. Li Xun forgot about this at the beginning.
The common people also do not know what kind of wages to build roads can still enjoy such treatment.
Never thought about it.
When they started to build roads, according to the people’s thinking, the county king wanted to let them work for free, so they had to do it, and I only hoped to be able to work for 20 days a year.
As a result, the existing wages were taken, so I felt at ease, and when I gave food on the first day, one.
Everyone felt as if they were concentrating.
With such benefits, who would dare to think of anything else.
Li Xun finally had a problem when he had nothing to do for a walk. The weather was hot, and people brought their own water bags. If the road to be built was near the river, it would be more convenient to drink water directly from the river.
One thing that is normal to others is not normal to Li Xun. He has taken all the money for the meals, and he is still short of the money for mung beans and water?
Since that day, rock candy mung bean water has been continuously supplied. In the past few days, the watermelons on the sandy land by the river have come down. Li Xun began to have people throw the watermelons into Jingli Town and take them out to quench their thirst. And each person took one home to eat for his family, and
asked to bring back the melon rind and seeds.
good stuff.
In addition to various benefits, Li Xun also asked people to write slogans and shout slogans. This kind of thing has little effect on knowledgeable people, but it has an extraordinary effect on ordinary people, even if the people do not know what is written on it. Words, but still willing to listen to others and then tell others to listen.
It probably means building your own hometown.
Make your hometown more beautiful.
After Li Xun finished taking care of this matter, he started to make money as soon as he turned around. If he didn’t make money, what would he do with so many watermelons.
Because Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan asked the doctors of the medical school to study the various uses of watermelon, when they got here, everyone prepared a variety of watermelons, and then sold them to wealthy families with other medicines and tonics. The restaurant also launched a cold melon feast.
You can only make money for one year. Next year, the people in Gengdu will plant it and it will be worthless. If it is good for planting, it can be planted on sandy soil. Of course, it cannot be kept secret. It is not an industrial thing. .
Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan, and Li Ke are going to take advantage of this only opportunity to earn back the money invested in local construction.
When Li Xun was busy with watermelon.
Zhang Zhong had already organized many of the yamen in the mansion, and he had also dispatched 500 sergeants from the recorder and joined the army, and ran all the way to the place where Taihu County was located by night.
Along with him were Old Man Zhang, Old Man Bi, and Old Man Yao. When they joined the army, they also brought a few relevant officials to follow them. They held Zhang Zhong’s document for the investigation of the copper mines, and followed behind the team with a sneer.
After Zhang Zhongqi immediately told the three old men about Taihu County, the three old men also expressed their support. After arresting the person, Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao prepared to write a letter of impeachment.
Zhang Zhong also brought the three dogs raised by Wang Juan to help him to find those who wanted to run away. It can be said that he was determined
to run forward as quickly as possible. According to the information obtained, a group of people came out from Taihu County a few days ago. , There are also a lot of vehicles, which are loaded with copper ore and marble that I don’t know where to secretly mine, and they have to go to Wanshui first.
Then enter the Yangtze River to transport the goods away.
Zhang Zhong’s order to the team was to go to the Anhui River to block the water, catch people, and bring one person’s stolen goods and get them.
The team came out from the dark of the sky, and ran until Yin Shi moment, and then arrived at the place. Sure enough, as soon as they got here, they saw someone moving things to the moored boat on the shore, listening to the urging voice from there. I knew that the other party was very anxious.
“My lord, what should we do next?” Lu Shi joined the army and came over from behind and asked Zhang Zhong.
“Catch the sun, Shan Xun Shushang and sneered at the same umbrella. They all grabbed “※” Zhang Zhong said with a sullen face,
“Sir, what about the crime?” Lu Shi joined the army and asked again.
“Isn’t the charge already written to you? Stealing copper mines, as for making utensils, or privately coining coins, if you catch them and ask if you’re not clear? Don’t do it yet.
” , a little dissatisfied, pointed to the place in front and said: “If you let one go”, you can wait for the official to impeach.
”
Lu Shi seemed to be frightened when he joined the army, and shouted: “Come here, Lord Inspector has an order.”
The people waiting in front seem to be digging copper mines to make coins. I will arrest them all. If you resist, kill them!
”
Five hundred sergeant’s swords were unsheathed, the arrows were attached to the strings, and they rushed up with a scream. No matter how strong the momentum was, there was a sense of killing. Zhang Zhong shook his head. Responsible, there are local records to join the army, the military and administration are separate, unlike Luzhou, it is convenient to use.
There was chaos in the front for a while, two people ran back to report, and all were caught.
Before Zhang Zhong could speak, the three old man Bi got out of the car and walked forward under the protection of the guards, trying to see who was so bold.
Lu Shijun straightened his armor and said to Zhang Zhong, “Master Zhang, please.”
Zhang Zhong responded, got off his horse, strode forward, Lu Shijun followed behind, looked at the sky, and turned to another An Xiang looked.
A smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The three of Old Man Bi arrived first, and by the light of the torches just lit, they saw the forty or so people who were being held up making a sullen voice, and the net was about to speak, and suddenly realized that the three of them could not take care of this matter directly, they had to wait for Zhang Just be loyal.
Zhang Zhong was not in a hurry at this time.
He walked over slowly, glanced at the detained person, and asked, “Do you know why you are being arrested?”
“My lord, I don’t know. You can’t arrest people for no reason. Your lord needs to investigate clearly.” One of the people struggled forward for two times, but the detained person held it tightly, opening his mouth to hold back.
The recorder who joined the army took a few steps forward and said loudly: “You dare to argue, Lord Inspector is here. Saying that you are waiting to secretly mine copper mines, but fortunately Lord Inspector has a clever plan and knows what you are waiting for in advance. Avoid the pain of skin and flesh.”
After Lu Shi joined the army and shouted to this man, he turned to Zhang Zhong and said, “Sir, it seems that they won’t say anything if you don’t let them suffer, why not?”,?
”
No, they will naturally recruit at that time.”
Tie people up and take them back.
Zhang Zhong rejected the proposal to join the army and ordered.
The man struggled even more now, and shouted while struggling, “Sir, I’m wronged, we didn’t mine any copper mines, we just chopped wood and wanted to Bring it back to burn charcoal, my lord, you are wronged.
”
“I’m arguing again, escort away.”
“This time it was Zhang Zhong who spoke. He turned around and prepared to return.
The recorder joined the army and stepped forward to block Zhang Zhong.
Said: “Sir, this is the middle of the night, and the small officials are all listening to the adults. It is better to look at the ship and the unloaded goods first, otherwise. If it is caught by mistake, it will be difficult for the lower officials to do it. Please let the adults be the masters.” The
recorder said he wanted Zhang Zhong to think about it, but he didn’t give Zhang Zhong a chance to speak. As soon as the previous voice fell, he immediately ordered: “Come on, move the things off the ship and put them away. Those who haven’t been loaded onto the ship will also be sent here, and the Chief Inspector will make his own decision.” The sergeants agreed in unison, some rushed to the ship to get things, and some unloaded the goods on the shore car.
The rest of the people are waiting here, and the sound coming from there makes people listen to it and it is not right.
Old Man Bi looked at Old Man Yao suspiciously, and said, “It’s really a piece of wood, could it be that Zhang Zhong is in the wrong place? Was he arrested? After all, it’s fine if he doesn’t dispatch the troops, it’s a big deal and let him go. Now that the troops have been transferred, and there are no people to arrest, and if the copper mine and marble are also not found, then … first”
“Then I will help in the back, and I encountered this when I went to the net, that ‘s all.
You can’t just ignore it, didn’t you say that the Zhang family has two masters? It’s an exhaustive plan, how could such a mistake be made? Could it be that Zhang Zhong didn’t listen to the master’s words and did it in private?”
Old Man Yao He understood what Old Man Bi meant, even if Zhang Zhong made a mistake, he had to keep it. In fact, he understood.
Someone really reported the matter to the court.
Zhang Zhong will have nothing to do, but the prestige he has accumulated will be greatly reduced.
The sergeant who was sent out to check, someone came over and reported to the recorder to join the army, “Sir, there is no marble, no copper mine, it’s all wood, please decide.”
“Oh? Really? When this officer dispatches troops, the Chief Inspector will never take such a major event as a joke, right? Check it again. Look carefully.”
Lu Shi joined the army and ordered, and at the same time, he gave Zhang Zhong a strong proof, waiting for people to check.
He turned his head to look at Zhang Zhong and said, “Master Zhang, are you sure there is copper ore here? If not, Xiaguan has to report it truthfully, but sir, don’t worry, Xiaguan will definitely help Sir.”
