After knowing this, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not take it to heart. It was nothing more than finding a rich or powerful person. In fact, if they sent people to chase after them now, it was really possible to catch up with the three of them. The three of them usually lived like princes, where could they go in such a short time?
However, Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao did not have such thoughts. They just let them run and see what would happen.
Liu Shaoqing did not know about this until noon. Needless to say, he also knew that the three of them did not care about him anymore and went to find Tang: Governor Of Ning together. In this way, he would really have to deal with Zhang Zhong alone in the future. Thinking of this, he felt that he could not just let it go. Since the three of them did not care about him anymore, he would not keep a secret for them anymore.
He arranged for his family to tell Zhang Zhong where the three of them went. After hearing this, Zhang Zhong frowned. He did not expect that the three of them would be so bold as to go to a place outside to find another governor to deal with him.
Liu Shaoqing explained the matter in detail. He even told Zhang Zhong about what the four of them had discussed in the beginning. He let Zhang Zhong prepare in advance, especially about the tea leaves.
"Oh, so they used such a method. I thought it was very clever. Not to mention the tea leaves, even if we told him everything else, what could he do? Would he dare to come and snatch it? What can the family do? Anyway, last time, because they wanted to collect money, they made our caravan unable to pass. I have long since planned to be on good terms with them. "
When Zhang Xiaobao was told about the whereabouts of the three of them and their plan, he looked very calm. He was really not afraid of this and had long been prepared for this matter.
Wang Juan thought for a while and said, "The three of them can be locked up now. They left their place without permission. This is not a small crime. Although they are not allowed to do anything, they still have the position of magistrate, right?"
"Yes, this time, they will not be able to come back without ten days or half a month. Leaving for such a long time is not a small crime. Hehe, I will tell my father now."
Zhang Xiaobao felt that it made sense. Who would dare to run around without any reason? In a while, he would let his father use the excuse of the government to go to their house and ask them to do something. After a few days, the crime would be determined. Then, would they still want to see if they still had a family?
In fact, there was no need for Zhang Xiaobao to tell him. Zhang Zhong had also thought of this matter. He had already asked people to use this excuse to go to the three families to look for them. Naturally, they could not find them. That was right.
When the three families found out about this situation, they were all dumbfounded. They hurriedly sent people out to search for their masters, wanting to bring them back. However, they had been gone for so long, how could they find them? Moreover, the people at home didn't know which path they had taken.
Liu Shaoqing was happy. When he heard that the government had sent people to look for them, he sat in the courtyard of his house and said to himself, "You want to send me away? Well, let's see how you do it. Now, are you going to come back? What I did today should be considered as making up for my mistakes, right? Why can't Zhang Zhong give me some face? "
Liu Shaoqing thought about this and called the person in charge over. He asked him to go over there and ask if they could give more money for the shrimp sauce.
The person in charge left quickly and returned quickly. He said to Liu Shaoqing, "Master, they said that they can't give more money, but they told me that I can use the shrimp sauce to make salted vegetables. They asked people to weave a small basket to hold the salted vegetables. When the time comes, it will be transported to other places to be sold.
They also said that you can learn how to make the shrimp sauce. When the time comes to sell it to them, they will give more money. After this jar of shrimp sauce is sold to them, it is estimated that a jar of shrimp sauce should be around two strings of money. "
"Okay, okay, then immediately make the salted vegetables. Also, get people to weave that basket. When the time comes, sell it to them." When Liu Shaoqing heard this, he immediately began to give orders.
The person in charge said worriedly, "Master, this matter doesn't seem to work. What if they lie to us again?"
"What lie? They won't lie to us anymore. Even if they have those things, we can't pay them back. There's no need. Just do it. Maybe they will give more money when the time comes. In the future, be more honest. Don't cause trouble. The more honest the better. Also, send people from home to help with some work.
As long as Zhang Zhong feels that we are too pitiful, it is very likely that he will let us go. Otherwise, there won't be good days ahead. I hope so. "
Liu Shaoqing understood. He was prepared to pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy. After all, his performance today was not bad. Zhang Zhong's side would be soft-hearted.
The person in charge understood and left. Liu Shaoqing stayed in the courtyard. Looking at the gradually darkening sky, he said with emotion, "I didn't expect that when the three of them left, I would have found an opportunity. If I knew this would happen, I would have used it in the past."
Zhang Zhong was also thinking about something. In fact, it was related to Liu Shaoqing. He was not prepared to let go of this person easily. However, today, he came over and told him. If others knew about this matter and he still forced him like this, in the future, if someone really did something wrong, would they still come and tell on him?
It was because of this that Zhang Zhong told the person in Liu Shaoqing's house about the salted vegetables so that Liu Shaoqing could have a way to live. Since the three of them went to find a way to live, Liu Shaoqing would help him find it. However, he would not let go so easily.
Even if Liu Shaoqing could find enough ingredients to make salted vegetables and sell them for money, it would not be enough to pay back those loan sharks. He would only feel a little more relaxed in his life.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was time to harvest. The rice was growing quite well here. There was also cotton. The cotton needed to be harvested later. The rice would be harvested first.
The people who were building the seawall also stopped their work and prepared to harvest the rice. After harvesting, they would immediately plant again.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had nothing to do. Wang Juan was there playing with the little dog. Since the little dog opened its eyes, it began to become restless. It crawled everywhere and looked very cute. Wang Juan would make some rice soup to feed it.
Zhang Xiaobao sat in the yard and thought about something. In fact, this matter should not be thought about by him. It involved problems such as water pressure. However, he had nothing to do. He was waiting for the three of them to find someone to stir up trouble here. He could only use his energy in other aspects.
Wang Juan led the little dog and slowly circled Zhang Xiaobao. Zhang Xiaobao did not care. Suddenly, he said to Wang Juan, who was in front of him, "When we go diving, how deep do you think we can go with the tools we can think of here?"
"Diving? Who wants to dive? We don't have anything here. "Wang Juan asked puzzledly.
"There are many things here that can only be fished up from the sea. In other words, we need some people to go to the bottom of the sea. For example, local specialties. Isn't that the case? If we can let people dive in, it will be easy to pick them up. What do you think of blowing bubbles for pigs? Can it be used? "
Zhang Xiaobao had this idea for a long time, but he had never said it. Now that he thought of it, he decided to give it a try. If he could make such a thing, then there would be more local specialties here and it would be more profitable.
Wang Juan thought for a moment and said, "This doesn't seem to work, right? If it is relatively shallow water, it will work. If it is too deep in the sea, the pressure will be too great. I don't think people can bear it. Then think about it. What if we use a pipe to let people go down? Will this work? "
Wang Juan felt that it would be very difficult to summon Qi from pigs under that pressure. She gave Zhang Xiaobao another hint.
This time, Zhang Xiaobao shook his head. "How can there be such a long pipe? Also, there is no soft pipe. Let's think of another way. There is no rush. There is still a lot of time to do this."
"I think so too. Don't worry, take it slow. The most important thing now is to harvest the rice. It seems that this rice is growing well here. The yield is not low. When the time comes, we can use this thing to exchange with the surrounding states for their poor rice. The commoners will have more food in their homes."
Wang Juan also could not think of how to dive. Without the equipment, she changed the topic and talked about the rice.
Zhang Xiaobao also went to see it personally. The weather here was good. The rice had a long time of sunlight. In addition, it was a slow growing variety. It grew well.
"In addition to the rice, there is also cotton. This year, we can make more cotton-padded clothes. It is a pity that we can't wear them. However, it will be good for our farmers to wear. Li Xun said that he wants to plant more and submit this method to the higher-ups. Back then, he promised us a year. Now that the time has come, we will make as much money as we can this year."
Wang Juan thought of cotton again. It was not easy to monopolize this thing. Old Man Pi and Li Xun both wanted to plant a large amount of this thing so that the commoners could get some benefits in certain aspects. At the same time, the most important thing was to fight. Wearing this cotton-padded clothes could withstand the cold. They could not let all the soldiers wear a set of eiderdown.
Therefore, this secret could not be kept. Wang Juan was a little unhappy. It was not that she did not want to help the country and the people. If this business was handed to her, she could guarantee that she could grow more cotton.
CHAPTER 68
Xiaobao didn't care much about this and said, "Even if other people plant it, we can still make money. This cotton is a new product, and they haven't fully understood the system of making things with this cotton. Don't worry, when other people have cotton, we can make all kinds of things with this cotton. For example, cloth dolls stuffed with cotton."
Zhang Xiaobao thought of this.
Wang Juan's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Yes, I forgot about this. I just want to make more clothes. Besides clothes, I can use cotton for other things. In this way, I don't have to worry about other people growing cotton. Well, now help me think, what else can cotton do?"
"That's a lot. Cotton's uses are not just what you see on the surface. For example, the cotton seeds can be used to extract oil. This is considered a good thing. Slowly think about it. I don't know when the pigeons will be produced. The hatching has actually failed."
Zhang Xiaobao thought of the pigeons again. Humans, when they had nothing to do, they would start thinking about other things. Cherries had always been in charge of this. Originally, she was in charge of hatching things. Now that they were hatching pigeons, they naturally looked for her. In the end, they had tried many times and failed every single time.
They had already wasted a lot of pigeon eggs. Fortunately, the old man did not care. The old man also knew that as long as this matter succeeded once, it would be simple. There would be more and more pigeons in the future.
Wang Juan also felt that this pigeon was not easy to deal with, but she could not let Cherries stop. If that happened, Cherries would definitely think that she did not do a good job and make the master angry. Her enthusiasm would be dispelled.
"Let Cherries try. It's best to find more pigeon eggs and let her hatch them according to different methods. For example, time, temperature, humidity, etc. As long as they are met, there will always be a place where she succeeds. It is impossible for her to fail every single time."
Wang Juan thought about it and decided to continue investing in Cherries. She wanted to let Cherries rest assured. This kind of thing must be encouraged, just like Pomegranate's fungus. When she thought of the fungus, Wang Juan happily said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Pomegranate succeeded. She really grew mushrooms, and there are a lot of them. There are two kinds. One is like the golden needle mushroom, and the other one is unknown. The other one is very large."
"When did this happen? Why didn't I know? "Zhang Xiaobao did not expect that Pomegranate really grew mushrooms. He was curious and a little puzzled.
"She just did it. Two kinds of mushrooms were grown at the same time. It happened last night. Pomegranate did not know whether it could kill people, so she did not tell others. I saw it when I was wandering around. She told me. She also asked me to help her keep it a secret. She said that when she knew that it could be eaten without killing people, she would grow more.
What do you think? Isn't it amazing? Wait for her to learn more, then let her grow ginseng. Anyway, there is nothing else. If they are willing to try again and again, then let them try. Don't you think it should be like this? "
Wang Juan felt that the money was well spent. Mushrooms, were they so easy to grow? But Pomegranate was able to grow them, and Cherries also had to be treated like this.
