There was a vast sea route, and no one knew where the clouds were. The breeze blew the drizzle, and the huge waves fell on the reef. The evening moon ebbed, and the morning sun rose from the horizon. A rainbow crossed several shores, and soared among the gulls and herons.
The owners of the Yellow River Shipping Company didn't sleep well all night. When they woke up in the morning, they saw an amazing picture scroll. The sun was drizzling gently. They had seen many sceneries on the way here by boat, but compared to those sceneries, it was definitely not as shocking as the one in front of them.
It was drizzling here, and there was a rainbow whose root was unknown over there. The moon that hadn't disappeared yet was about to fall into the sea. The seabirds that rose early in the morning shuttled back and forth in the rain and fog. The foam brought by the waves hitting the beach seemed to be endless.
The carriages transporting goods for the people who were still working gradually disappeared from sight. The children who didn't have to do anything for the time being gathered together, humming a tune that the masters couldn't hear, and jumping with fishing poles and prawn cages, they ran to the shore.
It was impossible to overlap with a place that had suffered a disaster not too long ago. How could it be the land of exile that many people talked about? It was clearly a paradise. No, it was even more shocking than a paradise. Last night, they received some news.
That was, not only could the people have houses to live in, there were also many schools, and even a place called the Nursing Home. It could be said that the farmers had their own fields, the residents had their own houses, the elderly had their own care, and the children had their own education. There was nothing that couldn't be done here.
"It's prosperous. Zhang Zhong and the Zhang family of Sanshui are really capable. They deserve to be the people who pushed Zhongxian to Shang Xian and combined several counties into a province. No wonder the imperial court is so ambiguous to the Zhang family. All the impeachment memorials against Zhang Zhong were suppressed. The Zhang family can stabilize this area. I've decided. Today, I'll ask to see Zhang Zhong. What's wrong with giving the goods I brought to him for free?"
Sun Dongjia stood alone at the bow of the ship, looking at the scenery in front of him and the brightly colored clothes on the children as he muttered to himself.
As the biggest force in the Yellow River Shipping Company, he also had his own sources of information. He knew how many people didn't like the Zhang family and used all kinds of channels to impeach Zhang Zhong. From time to time, someone would send a report, but these reports were like a stone sinking into the sea, without the slightest ripple.
People who were impeached in court would immediately change the topic. The Emperor simply ignored them. When the impeachment report reached the Secretariat, there was no news. Anyone with a bit of foresight was protecting the Zhang family, protecting Zhang Zhong, this ridiculously young fourth-rank top scorer.
Lian Province was also affected by the disaster. However, Pan Province and Lei Province were not affected by the disaster. Throughout their journey, they had never seen anything like Lu Zhou. How did Zhang Zhong do this? Looking at those children, each and every one of them had rosy cheeks and chubby little arms, one could tell how their lives were like.
If this continued, it seemed that Lu Zhou would not be considered to be sent to Lingnan in the future. Otherwise, those who were sent to Lingnan would be overjoyed. Whoever was sent to this place would enjoy a good life.
There were wide roads, fields, boats out at sea, and trees and flowers on both sides of the roads. The breeze was gentle, the waves were gentle, the sand was warm, the sound of birds chirping, the sun was setting, the fishing boats were singing, the smoke was rising in spirals, the children were playing happily, and the sound of conches was heard. What land of exile? It was clearly a paradise on earth.
It was a waste of talent. If Zhang Zhong was a little older, he would not be just a provincial governor. Who asked him to be so young? In less than a year, he had endured the disaster and built the desolate land into such a prosperous place. What if there was no disaster? What if he was given more time?
With this ability, it was no wonder that so many people were jealous of him. It was also no wonder that so many people wanted to protect him. If he had subordinates who could do this, he would also send them out to do the most difficult things. Unfortunately, if his subordinates had such ability, they would not stay under him.
Sun Dongjia stood at the bow of the boat and sighed with emotion. Someone who had also woken up came over and stood beside Sun Dongjia. He looked at the children and said, "They are really bold. Aren't they afraid that we will catch them?"
Sun Dongjia sneered, "Catch them? Why don't you try? Someone will take over your ship company. Have you arranged the next person? "
The person who spoke was also the owner of a ship company. Together, they were called the Yellow River Shipping Company. Usually, they had their own ship companies. After all, the Yellow River was too big and too long. No ship company dared to say that they controlled all of it.
"Does Zhang Zhong dare to make a move? My ship company pays more than 1,000 strings of coins a year in tax. Will the imperial court not care? It is easy to deal with me, but if one of them is dealt with, we agreed that the other ship companies on the Yellow River will help. Then the imperial court will lose more than just 1,000 strings of coins. "
The person who came later was still a little unconvinced. He thought that if the entire ship company worked together, they would be able to firmly suppress Zhang Zhong.
Sun Dongjia still looked at the children playing and said, "Catch one and see. If you have the ability, kill one. For example, throw him off the boat and say that he wanted to let the children on the boat to play and accidentally fell to his death. See if Zhang Zhong will let you go back alive. It just so happens that we can test Zhang Zhong's bottom line. "
"Is he going to take my life for the sake of an ordinary child? I don't believe it. "The person's voice became louder.
"That's because you don't know how much Zhang Zhong likes the children. Or rather, his family and the people behind him like the children. Your information collection is too poor. Don't you know about the hospital in Huayuan County?"
"What's the hospital?"
"Actually, it's nothing. If the children are sick, they don't have to wait in line. They can go through another passage. The other passage is open 24 hours a day. The four doctors take turns to see the patients. The doctors and apprentices are not allowed to touch them. They can only watch.
The children don't have to pay for the consultation or medicine. If they need to stay there for treatment, they don't have to pay for their meals. There are fruits all year round. Then who built the hospital? Who has the final say? From this, you can see the Zhang family's attitude towards the children. Look at the children's clothes. The younger the child is, the better the material and the more beautiful it is.
Take a closer look. The youngest girl was only two years old. What was she wearing on her head? The hair clip sold by the Zhang family is not made of ordinary stones. It's made of jade, Lantian Jade. The Zhang Family and Wang Family's roots are in the production area. Where do you think the jade came from? Why is this hair clip on the children's heads?
They haven't swum to the reef yet. Look around the boat and see if there's a rock that can hold the boat down. Throw a small piece over there. If you hit someone, we'll know what the consequences are. "
Sun Dongjia did not believe that these people on the boat would dare to touch Lu Zhou's children. He deliberately provoked the owner.
He only knew that Zhang Zhong or the Zhang family liked the children. He did not know that the one who liked the children was the young master of the Zhang family, Zhang Xiaobao. If someone really beat the children to death, not to mention the person who did it, even the people on the boat would not be spared. When Zhang Xiaobao dealt with them, he would ask, "Why didn't you stop me when you were on the boat? If you didn't stop me, you would be an accomplice. If you can do it to the children, why can't I do it to the adults? "
"Haha, I'm just kidding. How can you beat such cute children? You can't even catch them. It's better to give them something good to eat. Eh? What are they doing? Aren't they going to swim over? "
The owner of the boat explained while waving his hand. He was afraid that someone would tell the Zhang family about this. What if they thought that he had such an idea? He happened to see a few older children surrounding the girl that Sun Dongjia mentioned just now. They were blowing something hard. So, he changed the topic and asked.
Sun Dongjia didn't know what it meant. He could only watch as the children surrounded by them giggled. Curious, he waited motionlessly, wanting to see what these children were going to do.
It did not take long for those older children to blow up the things in their hands. They tied them up with a rope and put it on the children. Then, they took the children into the water and swam toward the reef.
"Oh, it's just a pig blowing bubble or some animal blowing bubble. They are not stupid. They are afraid that they can't take care of the children. Once they put it on, they won't be afraid of sinking."
The owner said with disdain. In fact, he was thinking of getting more pigs to blow bubbles in the future. That way, they would not have to worry about falling into the water, especially when there was a storm. Although everyone here knew how to swim, they would not be able to summon their Qi if there was a storm.
What Sun Dongjia saw was something else. "This is not a matter of blowing bubbles. It is the relationship between the local people. For a child to be able to do such a thing, it is usually taught by the adults. They cannot be a family. For them to be able to say such things, it is the elder brothers and sisters who take care of the younger sister.
In other words, if one offended a commoner in this place, they would offend all the commoners in Lu Zhou. If one of the 10,000 commoners took a piece of flesh from one's body, one would be reduced to a skeleton. When Lu Zhou first learned about this place, there were mountain tribesmen and small tribes. They were unfamiliar with each other and were wary of each other. Now that Lu Zhou saw a child blowing bubbles, it was obvious that he was a mountain tribesman.
This means that after Zhang Zhong came here, the mountain people can live well with the local people. When all the people are working hard for one thing, that's the scariest moment. "
At this moment, a few boat owners came from behind the two of them. When they saw the group of children swimming in the sea, they did not know what to say. At the same time, they no longer had the special sense of superiority that they had in this place.
They finally understood. When they came here, they thought that this place would be poor and that a little thing would be able to move the people here. However, they did not expect, or were unwilling to think, that the Provincial Governor of this place was not any less knowledgeable than them. In fact, in terms of knowledge, he was more knowledgeable than them.
With such a person in charge, even the people from the capital could not show any superiority, let alone the people from the Yellow River.
Whether it was knowledge, identity, status, or wealth, they could not compare with Zhang Zhong, the Provincial Governor. They should do their job honestly. Otherwise, it would be easy for the local people to dislike them. Not to mention the merchants from the Yellow River, even the officials from the capital could not do anything about it.
The local people did not care whether they were from the capital or not. They only knew that Lu Zhou was the Provincial Governor. Zhang Zhong knew about the situation in the capital, but would Zhang Zhong think highly of them just because they were lucky enough to pass by the capital? Dream on! He could have been an official in the capital, but he did not. Did he really care about the people from the capital?
The owners of the Yellow River Boat Line had come with a sense of superiority when they knew about the capital city. However, when they arrived, they suddenly found that their sense of superiority had been torn to pieces by the other party.
The children did not know what the people on the ships were thinking, and they did not care about the people from the Yellow River Shipping Company. They just played as they should as long as they paid attention to their own safety. How could the people who lived by the sea not know how to swim? Especially when there were two rivers and those tributary rivers, the children would jump into the water and swim for a while when they had nothing to do.
If it were not for the fact that the waves were too strong, even a two-year-old girl who was protected could swim over by herself. Now, all of Lu Zhou's citizens had to learn how to swim. They had to swim as well as they could so that they could last as long as possible. This was to prevent another flood from happening.
The children did not think too much about other things. They just wanted to get some fish and prawns to exchange for some pocket money and buy something they liked, such as the cloth dolls. These cute dolls that were about the same height as them were sold at a very low price. They only needed to pay 15 copper coins to get one.
The girls liked them the most, including the two-year-old girl. Even if she could not speak clearly, when she saw those cloth dolls, she hoped to get one. She used her limited vocabulary to express her wish to the other big brothers and big sisters. Therefore, these children wanted to satisfy the little sister's needs first.
They only wanted to achieve their goal, and they did not know how many people were worried about them. From the moment they entered the water, the people at the dock had been watching them. They were all very good swimmers. As long as they saw the children in a drowning posture, they would immediately come to the rescue.
Among them, there were even four members of the Vigorous Seedling Protection Team who were guarding here. Only now did they know that the so-called Vigorous Seedling Protection Team was not protecting the rice seedlings in the field at all, but protecting the children. When the children were doing their own things, they would only watch from the side. Only when there was danger would they come to the rescue.
Many people did not understand this kind of thinking. Why didn't they just protect the children when they were playing? Why did they only come to the rescue when there was danger? It was like boiling hot water. Although they knew that the children might be scalded, they did not stop them. Instead, they let the children try.
Only Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan understood that children could not always be placed in the cradle. If that was really the case, it would be like what happened more than a hundred years ago, which made people look down on China.
Both of them learned about what happened more than a hundred years ago from their own channels. That was the competition between the children of Japan and China on the grassland. It was survival in the wild. At that time, China sent out all the children of high-ranking officials and rich businessmen, but the result was a crushing defeat. Those people could do other things, but they were definitely not suitable for survival in the wild.
According to Zhang Xiaobao, if some children from the orphanage were sent out at that time, they could let the Japanese know what it meant to be strong. Even if they sent out children from the countryside, it would be the same. In a competition on the grassland, they sent out the children of the herdsmen. Why would they still need to carry backpacks and bring food?
Therefore, the two of them did not want to raise some children who could not do anything. They planned to cultivate the children's independence, self-improvement, and self-esteem from a young age. They would let the children fight for themselves and understand this society. The adults would only hide and watch.
*****
At this time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also learned about the arrival of the people from the Yellow River Shipping Company. The two of them did not care about these ships at all. It was really whimsical to think that they would do fur trading here. The two of them were now thinking about the attitude of the Yellow River Shipping Company.
If the attitude of the people from the Yellow River Shipping Company was better, then Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan decided to let them suffer a big loss. Then, they would come up with a cooperation plan when they were depressed. If their attitude was not good, then they would let them taste some benefits first. The final result was naturally needless to say.
"Xiao Bao, what can we cooperate with the Yellow River Shipping Company? Even without them, we can still take over the transportation on the other side of the Yellow River. "
Wang Juan still did not know what kind of cooperation they could have with the Yellow River Shipping Company. It seemed that they did not need the people from the Yellow River Shipping Company, especially since they had already bought a lot of ships there.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan and said helplessly, "You really should have interned in some business groups when you entered the Special Second Department. Your family should have that kind of business, right? The Yellow River Shipping Company is not important. What is important is the estuary of the Yellow River. What is that place?
How many countries are there? We can't jump from one place to another all of a sudden. We don't want to go there next. If there was no Yellow River Shipping Company, then we would have wasted a lot of time. We will slowly grow up. Some things can be skipped at once, but some things need to be done step by step.
Since we don't have so much energy to care about the estuary, why not let others go there? The country does not belong to the two of us. If we can let others go there, then we should let them get some benefits. The estuary of the Yellow River is our next step.
Now, we just need to take over Qinzhou Bay. That's it. When the time comes, as long as the other coastal areas are not idiots, they can learn from us and develop bit by bit. "
"Oh, I know that too. Your plans are too perfect, making people forget a lot of things. On one hand, you say that this country isn't yours, but on the other hand, you're constantly influencing this country. Do you think I'm to blame for this?"
Wang Juan was clearly in the wrong, but she still wanted to argue. If it was in the past, she would definitely not do this. Who asked Zhang Xiaobao to follow one plan after another? She couldn't help but rely on him.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan and knew what was going on. He immediately said, "Let's not talk about this first. Let's talk about the construction here. Especially after the New Year, what should we do? Should we let the people have their own fields, or should we let them do things together like now? "
Wang Juan was just saying. She couldn't blame others for her mistakes. When she heard Zhang Xiaobao's question, she thought for a moment and said, "You'll be in charge of this. If you can let the people still do things according to your ideas after your father leaves, then continue to work together.
If you think that the new officials will affect your ideas, then naturally, you have to understand the people's fields now. At this time, the disaster is over, and the people don't have any other ideas. Besides, your father is here. No matter what the decision is, the people won't oppose it.
I don't care about this. I need to train soldiers. Now, there are more than 36,000 people. I need to train at least 4,000 soldiers. Originally, in this era, we didn't send troops overseas. We only sent troops to Japan for a period of time, but who asked you to come here?
It's fine if you come here. You can just stay here. Everything is fine, but you have to go to other places to get some things. It's easy to just get food crops, but you still want to go to other places to get minerals. How can there not be conflicts? If there is a conflict, can the operation of the economy be solved?
In the case of military force, it is like this. However, some people always want to challenge some bottom lines. How can it be done without an army? I'm helping you to plunder the economy. Thank me. "
"No, I've decided to give up. I won't go to other places to get things. If you want to train the army, then say your own things. Why do you still want to help me? I didn't graduate from military command. I can't care so much. "
Zhang Xiaobao quickly denied. He looked at Wang Juan and felt that she had learned bad things. How could she know that this should be a political calculation? This is not good, not good.
Wang Juan laughed, "Xiao Bao, you have to be gentlemanly. You learned so many things in prison. How can you not know military command?"
"No, I really don't. That kind of person won't be locked in the prison I can go to. What I learned is the worst. It's easy to change identities. If you want to enter a prison with so many soldiers, you don't even need to think about it. I learned shooting training when I went abroad. I didn't learn anything about military command from them. At that time, I thought that those things were too far away for me."
Zhang Xiaobao really didn't learn any military command knowledge in the prison he went to. He only learned some simple fighting skills from a few retired soldiers. He was far from those who really knew how to fight. He had never met special forces in those prisons.
"Well, even if it's for me, will you support me? You can't let me stay by your side like a secretary, right? "Seeing Zhang Xiaobao deny, Wang Juan said another reason.
"I support you. You can do whatever you want, but you have to think about it. You are still young. Don't expose your identity. It's best to teach others and let others fulfill your ideas."
Zhang Xiaobao didn't have the slightest resistance in this aspect. He didn't know about other women, but for Wang Juan, letting her always do a kind of work that she was not suitable for was a kind of suppression to her. Zhang Xiaobao never thought of suppressing Wang Juan. The two people complemented each other.
Wang Juan saw that Zhang Xiaobao was still the original Zhang Xiaobao. He didn't change because of some of the environment here. She was very happy and said, "Don't worry, it won't cause any trouble. Huzi and the others are almost done learning now. When the time comes, let them stand at the front."
The two people reached an agreement after a while of bickering. Wang Juan finally began to really play to her strengths. Although there were many different methods of war at that time, these methods were not directly derived. They were things that evolved bit by bit according to ancient war.
Even if the equipment was different, some of the ideas of war were still the same. This was the so-called "no change is far from the center". After she came here, she also worked hard to learn the war methods here. With many years of experience and her willingness to learn, she had already learned some things about war here.
She didn't directly deny those military formations. No matter when, there would always be formations. Even the war she fought at that time was nothing more than a change in the formation. It was more complex and more diverse. Even the special forces' assault was similar to some of the assault teams in the war here.
Airplanes had their formations, tanks had their formations, and warships had their formations. It was just that the carriers were different, so the formations were different. Then, the current formations could also be adjusted with her knowledge. Moreover, the current formations were easier to understand. Compared to what she learned at that time, Wang Juan was absolutely sure that the changes in formations here were too simple.
This was based on the weapons. There were too few types of weapons in use now. When commanding, one only needed to know the advantages and disadvantages of a certain type of weapon. It was much worse than what she learned at that time. When she learned it, the cooperation between different types of soldiers could tire people to death. Now, there was no need for that. She could just do what she needed.
At this time, what she needed to do was to cultivate the discipline of the soldiers, their physical strength, and so on. Once done, they could become a powerful army. In terms of various terrains, she specially designed new formations, such as the Mandarin Duck Formation that would appear in the future and so on.
Now that everything was in place, all she had to do was wait for the soldiers she could train. Based on the ratio of population, she had about one-tenth of them. Of course, this ratio was not fixed. She could not say that if there were one hundred thousand people here, she would have ten thousand soldiers. Then, if the Great Tang had one billion people, would she have one hundred million soldiers? Obviously, that was not possible.
"Let's do it during the Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, you can start conscripting soldiers. Now is not the time to use your own money to buy soldiers. Even if there are people in some places who do this, we should still use the current method to transfer soldiers."
Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan's eager expression and said.
"Yes, I think so too. But in terms of the actual operation, you can use a different method. Normally, the equipment for my soldiers here is provided by the provincial government, and the equipment for the provincial government is provided by the imperial court. Then, the imperial court can provide less equipment, and I don't know when the equipment will be shipped over.
Then, it will be provided by the provincial government. Does your father have equipment? With the small number of people here, he didn't even assign any military officers. It would be strange if he could find equipment. You will pay for the weapons and armor. I will find someone to secretly make them. You will also be in charge of the uniforms and food … "" Enough.
You don't need to say anymore. I understand, I understand. As long as it's related to the army, I will take care of it, including the money for pension. You can train less, four thousand. At most, four thousand. The others still need to be involved in construction. If you send too many people, I won't be able to do anything. "
Zhang Xiaobao didn't wait for Wang Juan to finish speaking before he understood what she meant. This was no different from what the Tang Dynasty did in the past few years. When the imperial court couldn't afford to raise an army, the last few Jiedushi would have to raise them themselves. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so quick to rebel.
Wang Juan also knew that Zhang Xiaobao didn't lack the money to raise soldiers. What he lacked was manpower. When she heard Zhang Xiaobao's restrictions, she nodded and said, "Okay, I will listen to you in this aspect. I will not recruit more than four thousand soldiers from my province. But we have to say that the army is the army. If there is a disaster here, we can mobilize, but we don't care about farming."
"You don't need to care. You can slowly complete your idea. I hope you can understand the law of war here. Sometimes, the quality of a general is very important. For example, when it comes to a one-on-one battle, don't let such a person not appear. Eh? Wait, what did you say just now? Not recruit from your province? Don't tell me you want to recruit from other provinces? "
Zhang Xiaobao agreed. But as he spoke, he thought of the meaning in Wang Juan's words. It didn't seem to be that simple.
Wang Juan chuckled and said, "You heard wrong. Don't worry, I won't recruit people from the surrounding provinces. It's not easy for them either. Four thousand people are enough for me. Yes, that's enough. No matter what the situation on the battlefield is, no matter how many people participate in the battle, four thousand people are enough to change something at a critical time."
Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to care too much about Wang Juan's matters. After all, the two of them were no longer children. Both of them needed to have their own careers. In addition to this military method, Wang Juan also had a side business, which was to make some clothes and other things, including cosmetics that would appear in the future.
When Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao reached an agreement, she finally changed from her previous steadiness and rushed out of the room happily, shouting loudly. Zhang Xiaobao sat on a chair and listened to Wang Juan's voice outside. He shook his head helplessly. He really doubted whether Wang Juan could manage an army well.
According to Wang Juan's rank when she graduated from the military academy, it seemed that she couldn't manage so many people. It was very likely that she would be a minor officer with a deputy position. But since she had agreed, then let her try. She would be better than some of the current generals here, especially in terms of tactics. At that time, she had studied tactics for many years.
*****
While everyone else had things to do, Cao Herui and the other two also found things to do. The three of them were still shouldering the mission of the Tang: Governor Of Ning. They thought about it for a while and discussed it together several times. In the end, they finally decided to give up on the idea of using others to scout for information.
The people sent by Zhang Zhong were already monitoring the surroundings of their house. They thought that the people in their house should also be in the same situation. At this time, if they wanted to get useful information, they would only send one person out, and that person would be caught. There was no need to rely on luck at all.
In the end, the three of them discussed and came up with a solution. The three of them took the initiative to look for Zhang Zhong, hoping that he could arrange for them to do something. Then, they would slowly infiltrate here until there was hope that they could get the cement recipe.
The first one to look for Zhang Zhong was Cao Herui. He was in charge of probing to see if it would work.
Zhang Zhong was still busy with the New Year. Cao Herui chased after him on his horse. When Zhang Zhong arrived at a county, he saw him. Seeing that Zhang Zhong was there directing people to move things down one by one, Cao Herui was not in a hurry. He just watched from the side and waited for Zhang Zhong to finish his work. Then, he came closer and said with a smile,
"Lord Zhang, I'm here to see if there's anything I can do. After all, I can already do something. Now that I've changed, I want to help the local people do something practical. I don't know if Sir can give me such a chance? "
Cao Herui's words were very sincere. If an ordinary person didn't understand, they would really be deceived by him. Zhang Zhong actually didn't understand him very well, but this had no effect on how he did things. At home, his son and daughter-in-law had already mentioned several methods that Cao Herui would take.
At this time, when he heard Cao Herui's words, Zhang Zhong immediately thought of a possibility, so he said to Cao Herui according to what they discussed at that time, "Oh, Magistrate Cao, have you thought it through? You know what to do? "
"Yes, I've thought it through. I was wrong in the past. I shouldn't have put the people in such a low position. I've decided now. I'll do more for the people and make their lives better. I hope you'll grant me my wish."
When Cao Herui heard Zhang Zhong's words, his heart became happy. It seemed that there was a door. As long as there was something to do, he would be able to gain Zhang Zhong's trust little by little.
Zhang Zhong's expression was still the same, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes. He hesitated and said, "In that case, I'll give you something to do. Do you know that it's almost the New Year?"
"I know, I know. Rest assured, Sir, as long as you give this matter to me, I'll do it well." When Cao Herui heard Zhang Zhong mention the New Year, he immediately stopped worrying. Wasn't it just organizing the New Year? It was simple, so he quickly agreed.
"Good, since you have this determination, then I'll give it to you. The New Year is simple. The main thing is that after the New Year, it's time to plant some things. You'll be responsible for …"
"Responsible for planting things? Okay, I can do this well. " Cao Herui realized that Ren Baqian didn't want him to organize the New Year. Planting things was also fine. When the time came, he just had to stay by the field and didn't need to do anything.
Zhang Zhong shook his head, "It's not farming. There will be people in charge of farming. That's before farming. In this field, if there is no fertilizer, then good things won't grow. You'll be responsible for fertilizing. Get some feces from various places, whether it's human or animal, and then put it in the field.
Also, remember to ferment some of the stalks. If you put them in directly, it's easy to burn the seeds or seedlings. That's it. I believe you can do it well. Are there any other questions? "
"No, no, Sir, rest assured, I will definitely do this matter well. I'll organize people to arrange it." Cao Herui stuttered. He didn't expect that in the end, he would be assigned such a job. When he thought about dealing with feces all day during the New Year, he felt very uncomfortable in his stomach and wanted to vomit.
Zhang Zhong didn't care about what Cao Herui thought and continued, "Composting is not as simple as you think. Have you never composted in this place before? Don't worry, I'll send someone from my family to teach you. You have to learn carefully. First of all, you have to learn how to manage others better.
When the time comes, the smell may be a little bad. Just bear with it. I hope that at that time, you can stand at the front. Don't be afraid of hardship and don't be afraid of fatigue. The smell of feces is a little bad, but it's essential for growing crops. You have to pay attention to it. Can you do it? "
"Yes, if others can do it, then I can do it. I'll do it better than others. Sir, don't worry, leave the feces matter to me. I don't feel uncomfortable at all. I don't feel uncomfortable. "
Cao Herui's eyes were red because of his retching, but he still insisted.
"Well, then I'm relieved. After the New Year, I'll naturally look for you. If others can be like you, then it'll be good."
Zhang Zhong laughed and said to Cao Herui. He had thought of this method a long time ago. He just wanted to see how these people would do.
Cao Herui wanted to die now. He really didn't know what to say. Was it so easy to make feces? He would be suffocated to death. Especially Zhang Zhong, he had to learn from others. He really didn't know how to endure this.
As long as he thought about feces, he had a feeling of wanting to vomit. Seeing that Zhang Zhong was going to continue to the next place, he quickly said, "Sir, I have one more thing to say. In fact, I'm not the only one who is willing to do this. Fan Jianxi and Jiang Huanshi also have the same idea. I don't know if you can give the two of them a chance and let them follow me to contribute to the farming."
When Cao Herui said this, he thought in his heart, Brothers, I'm sorry, I can't always be the only one who has bad luck, right? There has to be someone to accompany me.
Zhang Zhong laughed secretly, nodded to Cao Herui and said, "This … They didn't come to me, so I naturally can't ask them to do things directly. It's better to wait for them to have the same idea as you, then let them come. What do you think?"
"Okay, sir, then I'll go back. Sir, don't worry. In fact, the two of them had this idea a few days ago. As long as I tell them about it, they will agree. Sir, I'll take my leave first."
Cao Herui's purpose was finally achieved. He happily said to Zhang Zhong and was about to leave.
