Jia County Magistrates was anxious, so he ordered the yamen runners to search for the man quickly. He didn't want to waste any time, so he entered the courtyard with the man and found the study room. There were two yamen runners guarding the door. He sat down some distance away from the man and asked, "Who is the Zhuangzi of the Han Family?"
"Sir, the Zhuangzi of the Han Family is the Zhuangzi of the Minister of Deliberation, Han Feng. My master knows that you are in a difficult position in Sanshui County, so he specially ordered me to come and talk to you. If you need the help of the Zhuangzi, please don't hesitate. The Yuan Family will also advance and retreat with the Han Family.
In the future, if you need help, you can send someone to find me. I also have a long rented courtyard here, waiting for you. My name is Han Wangzhu. As long as someone has your official seal, I will send it to my master. "
The man introduced himself as well as the whole story. His voice was very low, so that the two yamen runners at the door couldn't hear him.
"Good, that's great." Han Wangzhu was finally happy. With two Zhuangzi helping him, he believed that he could overthrow the Zhang family and the Wang family. At that time, who would dare to take away all the money in the yamen?
If he could seize the money of the two families when he overthrew them, then he could also seize their money and the recipes for hatching chickens. With these two things, it would be difficult for him not to be rich. There was also the dock at Little Luoshui, a place where he could earn a lot of money every day.
Thinking about it, Jia County Magistrates couldn't control himself and laughed. Han Wangzhu also laughed. He also had a plan in mind.
After waiting for Jia County Magistrates to stop, Han Wangzhu took out something from his arms and gave it to Jia County Magistrates. He said, "Sir, I know that you have a hard time here, so my master ordered me to give this to you. There is a place not far from your yamen that sells porcelain called Changqing. Take this there and you can exchange it for five thousand strings of coins."
Jia County Magistrates listened to the man and looked at the thing in front of him. He rubbed his hands excitedly. This was the first money he had received in Sanshui County. Thinking of this, he became very angry. There were so many merchants in the county, but none of them gave him money. They didn't even care about his wine and wine. They only cared about his daily expenses.
What was the difference between this and raising livestock? The Han family was better. Just as he was about to say something, Han Wangzhu took out another thing from his arms and put it next to the previous one.
He said, "Sir, this is what the Yuan family asked me to deliver. There is a pawnshop next to Changqing Porcelain called Wufeng. Take this and you can get eight thousand strings of coins there."
"Well, I will take care of the two businesses in your family. If there are other businesses here, as long as you choose a place, I will also help."
Jia County Magistrates tried to control his trembling hands. He picked up the two things in front of him, looked at the door, and carefully put them in his arms. These two things were worth thirteen thousand strings of coins. If he only saved up with his salary, he would never be able to get this much money in his life.
Damn Zhangjia Zhuangzi. Why didn't he let him keep some of his salary? He must take revenge. Well, find an opportunity. When?
As County Magistrate Jia pondered, he suddenly thought of the Han family and the Yuan family, so he asked, "I wonder if you two families have any good ideas that can … can improve the Zhang family's farmstead?"
Han Wangzhu nodded with a smile, "Sir, I understand. Yes, but there is no hurry. You should use this money to find your own people. You can't always use others, right? If I'm not wrong, some people have heard about your meeting with me today. Those people can't be underestimated. "
"Yes, find your own people. Sigh! Now, everything we do will spread to the ears of others. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter even if they know. As long as you make the necessary arrangements, this official can help you. " Jia County Magistrates thought about how his every move was being watched. He felt a little sad and the hatred in his heart grew stronger.
Han Wangzhu stood up, "If that's the case, I'll go back first. I live in the sixth courtyard. Sir, if you have something to do, send someone here. Please don't worry about it."
"Okay, I'll remember it. Take care, take care." Jia County Magistrates stood up to see him out. When he reached the door, he looked at the two yamen runners standing there and snorted. He walked them out of the courtyard, then turned back and said to the two yamen runners, "There's nothing to do here. You can find a place to rest."
The two yamen runners didn't say that they would stay. They told Jia County Magistrates to be careful and left together. When Jia County Magistrates was alone in the study, he took out the things in his arms and looked at them. These two small things were worth 13,000 strings of coins.
As he looked at them, Jia County Magistrates felt that something was wrong. Why would the two families take out so much money to deal with Zhang Wang and Zhuangzi? They must have other plans. Yes, there was also the method of hatching chicks and the method of growing wood ear.
What should he do? Should he give it to them or not? It was said that the Zhang Family's farmstead was good at farming. The same seeds would grow differently after they were planted. This was also a recipe. There were three recipes, so shouldn't they be given a share?
He wanted to grow the wood ear and give the other two to them. Yes, that's it. When the time comes, he had to be careful of them. He just didn't know how they could make Zhang Wang and Zhang Wang collapse.
As for the people in the yamen, he had to find a few obedient ones. With so many yamen runners, he did not believe that they would all be bought over by the Zhang family's manor. Even if he had to fork out two thousand strings of coins, it would still be worth it. Once the Zhang and Wang families collapsed, he would be able to get as much money as he wanted.
Jia County Magistrates fell asleep as he thought about it. Light snoring sounds could be heard. It was the first time in a few days that he had a good sleep. It was the first time he didn't dream that Zhangjia Zhuangzi's people would drive him out of Sanshui County and make him leave with his tail between his legs.

Jia County Magistrates met the Han Family. Just as Han Wangzhu said, the two of them had just discussed a few words when the news was sent back to Zhangjia Zhuangzi. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were sleeping. Steward Zhang had been waiting for them to wake up to study before he came to report.
"It seems that Han Yongyao doesn't want to deal with us alone. His family also wants to take our good things. As for the Yuan Family, you said you weren't in Sanshui County and had to come here to cause trouble. You don't have the right geographical location and people. I don't think you can find the right time either."
Wang Juan, who was grinding ink, said after hearing what had happened.
"Yes, and there's still 13,000 strings of coins to give to Jia County Magistrates. What a big deal. Since that's the case, we'll keep the money. We'll organize an activity tomorrow morning for fun. You want money? Dream on. Once you get a little, you'll want more. Those yamen runners also need to be arranged so that he has a chance to deal with us.
Humph, don't you know whose home field this is? Don't you know how to check that study room? If it weren't for the fear of causing trouble for the restaurant, we would have taken out the things directly. Sleep, sleep, sleep well. "
Zhang Xiaobao spread the paper and muttered. He was used to fighting, but he didn't want to spend more energy on other things before his father's imperial examination. There were still many things to be arranged in the capital. The only thing that could make him feel relieved was that he had left some excuses for Jia County Magistrates.
Wang Juan put the ink slab between the two of them, took the copybook, and began to write according to the words on it. At the same time, she said, "Should we get rid of Jia County Magistrates or continue to restrict him and let him be idle?"
"Don't get rid of him first. Let's wait until the Han family and Yuan family finish their moves and know fear. Then we'll let him go. If he stays here all the time, the development of Sanshui County will slow down. Many projects that rely on the support of the government can't start. It's annoying."
After Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking, he took two deep breaths and calmed down. He also picked up the brush and practiced calligraphy. For the time being, he didn't want to think about other things and devoted himself to writing.

The next day, the sky was much clearer than the previous two days. One could even see the white clouds slowly swaying in the sky. The sound of reading could be heard in the school again. The snow in the Zhang Family's farmstead was all cleared away and allowed to slowly melt in the fields.
The artificial lake Between the Clouds and the Water had more water, but it hadn't frozen yet. The people in Zhuangzi were also clearing the snow. They only needed to clear the snow on the roads. They didn't need to clear the snow in the fields. When the snow melted next spring, there would be no need to worry about the drought.
Jia County Magistrates woke up early in the morning and was served breakfast. When he was about to leave, a burst of firecrackers suddenly sounded from the small lake.
Jia County Magistrates curiously opened the window and looked over. A gust of cold wind blew in and made him shiver. He exhaled and slightly adapted to the temperature. Then he looked at the small lake again.
He saw a few people in the small pavilion in the middle. The firecrackers were still going off. The corridor connecting the pavilion hadn't been repaired yet. A lot of snow had accumulated on the pavilion. There was even light shining from the side of the pavilion. It should be frozen. This was strange. If there was no ice anywhere else, why was there ice there?
"Come in, buddy. Tell me what's going on there." Jia County Magistrates didn't understand and called for the buddy.
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter came in. He looked down and said to County Magistrate Jia, "Sir, there are people fishing. They said that they want to catch the snow alone. Our young master and young lady are also there. They have no choice but to accompany them for fear of being frozen. But Young Master Li is there, so we have to accompany them."
"Good, good sentence. Fishing alone in the snow is indeed a special feeling. Mr. Li? Which Mr. Li? "Jia County Magistrates thought about this sentence and said" good "twice. Then he suddenly asked about Mr. Li.
"The one who just bought the land over there. Mr. Li from Zhuangzi. Even the old master is afraid of him. Mr. Li Wang Xun, Mr. Li." The buddy pointed down and answered.
"Ah? It's him. Oh, good. I also want to go down there to fish. How do I get there? " Jia County Magistrates finally understood who it was. It was a good opportunity. He couldn't not go and have a look. At the same time, he thought about why he didn't consider going to Zhuangzi to have a look when he was ready to leave after eating.
The buddy said awkwardly, "Sir, it's cold outside."
