Yesterday was a hurried day. At dusk, the moon hung in the east, and the sky was full of stars. The silence was thick. It was always late autumn, and the leaves were red when the wind blew.
It was getting colder, but the temperature in Shuzhou did not change much. When it was hot, it still made people want to hide in the water. The golden rice stood in the field, and the birds were ready to have a big meal, but they were scared away by the moving scarecrows with small windmills on their heads.
Zhang Zhong, who was adopted by Lu Zhou, had gradually adapted to the current weather. He was only a little weak, but he could come out and play with the others. He was the oldest, and he had just learned how to speak. He could say short sentences of less than six words.
He was a little worse than his younger brothers and sisters. The four little ones could say 'please do this with me' very fluently. It would be better if they were not missing teeth.
As for the other two sisters, they could only say that they were proficient in this sentence. The difference in education was immediately apparent.
When autumn came, the seven little ones liked to sleep more. They did not make any noise when they woke up. They let the servant girls play with them for a while, and then they sat by the river in the courtyard, staring at the fish in a daze.
Occasionally, when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took the time to come over and play with them, they would stand in a row and follow behind the two of them as they walked out leisurely. Around them were more than a dozen guards, whether in the open or in the dark. They would go to the streets to look for dough figurines coming out, or to find someone selling pancakes to buy an egg pancake each.
Zhang Zhong had handed all the affairs in his mansion to the people in the inner court. Until now, the imperial court had not found out who ordered people to destroy the river embankment. Many of the officials in Shuzhou had been dismissed.
From the top to the bottom, from those in power to those with no duties, all the officials involved in the secret mining were dismissed. Some were even escorted to the capital, including those who knew about it but did not report it.
In the capital, they had originally planned to arrange for a few more people to be promoted to Shuzhou, but all the people who were chosen did not want to come. They were all afraid. They were afraid that wherever Zhang Zhong appeared, they would not be able to do well and lose their positions.
Luoyang had sent three people to take over Taihu County's County Magistrate, Deputy County Deputy County Magistrate, and Registrar General. In the end, they were transferred away after half a month. It was truly not a place for people to stay. Every day, there were tasks from the magistrate court. The workload was too heavy. They, who had developed a lazy habit in Luoyang, could not keep up with the Zhang family's pace.
Not only them, but all the local officials in Shuzhou also resigned from their positions one after another. They couldn't take it anymore. If they continued to work, they would die of exhaustion.
Their vacant positions were directly occupied by the inner courtyards of the Zhang Family and Wang Family. All of them were substitutes. By autumn, 60% of the officials in Shuzhou had been replaced.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan would find useful information from the news reported by fast horses every day. Then, they would make adjustments. The people in the inner courtyards also did their best to cooperate, allowing people to see what the Zhang family's speed was.
The people of Shuzhou could see fast horses running back and forth every day. Sometimes, there were even pigeons flying in and out. Even in the farthest county, if something small happened, it would be resolved within three days.
Others could not compare to such efficiency. Their overall planning could not keep up, and the reaction speed of the officials under them could not compare to the inner courtyards of the Zhang Family and Wang Family. It was not an exaggeration to say that the people of the Zhang Family and Wang Family supported the entire Shuzhou.
The river was still surging, but it could no longer cause any disasters to Shuzhou. Even though it rained for five days in a row at the beginning of autumn, and several places upstream and downstream were washed away, Shuzhou still stood firmly.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had not deceived people for a long time. They spent all their energy on internal affairs. Wang Juan also handed over the work of the garment workshop to her subordinates. She accompanied Zhang Xiaobao and sorted out the information like a secretary.
Such a fast development speed was still too slow for the two people. The communication was too poor. Even if there were carrier pigeons flying back and forth in the sky, it was still slower than the speed of a phone call.
"Xiao Bao, here is a message from Su Song County. It says that a group of beekeepers came from Huang Mei County in Linzhou. They stung a few people and asked what to do."
Zhang Xiaobao had just put down a thing in his hand when Wang Juan took out a set of materials that had just been delivered.
She was not asking what to do if the people were stung. The people in Su Song County would not ask such a thing. What she was asking was whether the beekeepers were useful.
Zhang Xiaobao had just finished dealing with the matter of burning the mountain and changing the farmland. The county magistrate of Huailing County felt that there were too many trees in Qianshan, so he wanted to turn that area into terraced fields. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's reply was not to agree. They could look at the trees, but they had to cut them down in batches. The trees would be used to build bridges.
They had to plant fruit trees in that area immediately and give them to the people who had a lot of free time at home. They had to build a fruit powder factory there to process the fruits into powder. Part of the powder would be left for the sailors, and the other part would be sold to areas with less fruits according to the temperature.
At this moment, when he heard Wang Juan's voice, he thought for a moment and said, "Our Chamber of Commerce does not have beekeeping yet. We need honey for medicine. Let the people in the Chamber of Commerce contact them and ask if they can join the Chamber of Commerce. We will expand the scale. The Chamber of Commerce will provide them with all kinds of guarantees. We can even set up a place from the south to the north to raise flowers, sell flowers, and provide raw materials for honey."
"That's good. They will be sent back and forth from the south to the north. On the way, they can also help to collect information from various places. Also, Wangjiang County said that the crabs and mandarin fish are almost done. Ask if they are selling them."
Wang Juan wrote down a thing and took out a piece of paper.
"Yes. First, find the merchants and rich families near the two banks of the Yangtze River and send invitations. They say that there will be a crab tasting party in Taihu Lake. The people who come will receive a beautiful item carved from marble and be the first to walk on the Yangtze River Bridge when it is built.
After setting the date and writing clearly on the invitation card, whoever had the best crab tasting ability would be able to obtain a medal issued by the Sea Cloud Chamber of Commerce. With this medal, they would be able to enjoy a five percent discount on any purchase in Sea Cloud Chamber of Commerce.
"After the people who come set the time, get someone to pick the crabs first and make them into drunken crabs. In addition, the merchants who come to participate can use their own flags as advertisements. They will not charge the advertising fees for the flags. If they want to advertise in Taihu County's restaurants, they will get a 20% discount. Tell Wangjiang County that after the crab tasting party ends, they will hold a fish tasting party in succession and take out the mandarin fish to sell."
After a pause, Zhang Xiaobao continued, "Tell Taihu Lake to prepare for the reception. Get Li Xun to sell marble and decorate the restaurant there to be grand on the outside and relaxed on the inside."
Wang Juan wrote down this matter and asked, "How do you calculate the cost? Help Wangjiang County sell things. Taihu County has to get some benefits. "
"Cost? Wangjiang County will pay half of the money to build exquisite shops in Taihu County and outside. This money will be paid by Li Xun first. Set up a cruise ship on Taihu Lake and let the local merchants bid. 40% of the money will be given to Wangjiang County, 40% will be given to Taihu County, and the remaining 20% and 10% will be used to let the people who receive the invitation taste local snacks for free.
This has to be written clearly. It is free to taste local snacks on the ship. The snacks from outside are not free, and the snacks from outside are not free. The other 10% will be used to hire geisha and scholars. That's it. What else is there? "
After Zhang Xiaobao solved this problem, he asked again.
Wang Juan took out another piece of paper and said, "There's one more thing. The people at the foot of Yan Gong Mountain reported that there are wild beasts coming down the mountain to hurt people. Four people are injured, and one of them had his foot bitten. They asked what to do."
"Train the soldiers. The soldiers of Shuzhou Prefecture have not trained for a long time. Organize a drill. The location is Yan Gong Mountain. Equip them with crossbows. Let them go to the place and kill some of the large wild beasts on the mountain. It should be because there is not enough food for the carnivores on the mountain. That place belongs to Wangjiang County, right?"
Zhang Xiaobao asked.
"Yes, it's Wangjiang County."
"Send a message to Wangjiang County. Let the people of the Inner Court prepare a hunting ground. Put chickens and ducks in it to attract some wild beasts to eat. After two activities are held in Taihu County, tell the merchants that they can advertise in the hunting ground. They will also have a 20% discount.
"Also, hold a hunting competition on Yan Gong Mountain in Wangjiang County. According to the team, the number of people is less than 10. In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, they are not allowed to bring their own defensive weapons. They can be rented locally. The team in first place will be awarded the title of the First Warrior. Anyone who obtains this title will hunt and play in Yan Gong Mountain for free in the future.
"Every year, they can accept challenges from others. If they successfully defend their title, they will receive another medal. When they do business with Hai Yunjian, they will be exempted from 5% of the fees. Taihu County will provide all the poultry and livestock. This time, 30% of the money will be given to Taihu County.
Tell Li Xun to release the news in private that whichever team wins will have the opportunity to be recommended to participate in the imperial clan hunting activities in the winter. "
Zhang Xiaobao could not do anything about someone being injured, but he could immediately connect the matter there to Lake Tai.
Wang Juan also remembered this matter and said, "Xiaobei doesn't like to eat these few days. He's lost weight. What should we do?"
"Deal with the current matters and take them out to play. They've been in the courtyard for a long time, and they don't have much to eat. It'll be fine if they go out to relax. Has the doctor checked?"
When Zhang Xiaobao heard about his sister, his face was not as serious as before. He had been too busy these days, so the number of times he played with the little ones had decreased. His father was still supervising at Wangjiang, so it was time for him to relax. The matters here were temporarily handed over to the people from the Inner Court. After the autumn harvest was arranged properly, there was no big deal. The people from the Inner Court should be able to handle it well.
"Yes, there's nothing wrong with them. Where are we taking them to play?" Wang Juan was also tired these few days and also wanted to go out for a walk.
"Let's go to the construction site at Wangjiang," Zhang Xiaobao said after thinking for a while.
As a result, the orders were sent out one by one. Other than the people from the Zhang Family and Wang Family, the others did not expect that the people who had arranged Shuzhou so well were actually the two families' young ladies and young masters. Such efficiency left others in the dust.
*****
When the seven little ones were put into the house and headed outside, they were no longer in a daze. They all looked very excited and leaned against the window to look outside. Xiaobei also ate more at noon and even ate a big crab. He was only fine after being fed a lot of ginger water.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan each rode a horse and walked around the house. The little ones ran left and right from time to time and made funny faces at their brothers and sisters.
After the group left the prefectural city, the three old men also appeared outside the prefectural city. They looked at the group in a daze.
"Master, Young Master Xiao Bao and the others are leaving. Should we follow them?" a person beside Old Man Pi asked.
"No need, they are taking Xiaobei out to play. There's nothing interesting at Wangjiang. The people arranged there just need to record the steps of the bridge construction. Are you sure that the orders were sent out from Xiao Bao and Cuckoo's courtyard?"
Old Man Pi shook his head and asked the person beside him.
He was not stupid. He always wanted to know about the two masters of the Zhang family, so he would definitely send someone to watch over them. Zhang Family and Wang Family seemed to know, no matter what his people did outside.
At this time, he and Old Man Yao were the most shocked. It was mainly because the orders were sent out from Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's courtyard. The three of them stopped and looked.
If it was said that Zhang Family and Wang Family used tricks to make money in the past, then what they saw in the past two months was the other side.
When all the orders were issued, it could be seen that there were no tricks. All the orders were the most correct orders. From this, it could be seen that Zhang Family and Wang Family's true strength, especially the inner courtyard sent out. As long as it was in Shuzhou, everything, no matter how difficult it was, would be properly solved in three days at most.
"Master, we are sure that the orders were sent out from Young Master Xiao Bao's courtyard. Should we send someone to go in and take a look?" The person who spoke just now suggested. He meant to go in and look for the two masters of the Zhang family. Now Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, as well as the people in the courtyard, were not there. It was an opportunity.
Old Man Pi waved his hand and said, "Absolutely can't go in. Just pretend that it didn't happen. If we really go in, it will cause trouble. Maybe the Zhang Family and Wang Family will turn against us. Don't think that we can take advantage of every opportunity. It works for other people, but not for the Zhang family."
That person listened to the order and hurriedly went to arrange it. He was also afraid that someone would not be able to resist going in, thinking that he could make a contribution.
"For the Zhang Family and Wang Family, Shuzhou is still too small. They can do things with ease. We should find a way to find a better place for them to play."
Old Man Pi said with emotion.
Old Man Chang and Old Man Yao also agreed with him, especially Old Man Yao. He had been the Prime Minister several times, so he was very clear about the current situation in Shuzhou.
In the words of Xiao Bao and Cuckoo, it was efficiency. Yes, very powerful means. It gave people the feeling that with the two masters in charge, even if the sky fell down in Shuzhou, there was no need to worry. If it were not for the inner courtyards of the Zhang Family and Wang Family, ordinary officials would not be able to cooperate at all.
Orders were passed down one after another. If one didn't know that this was a busy political matter, it would be easy to misunderstand that this was a general who had always been victorious in battle. Unexpectedly, when dealing with political matters, he gave people a kind of elegant and wonderful feeling.
Thinking of this, Old Man Yao also sighed with emotion and said, "Good ability. Using justice and surprise to win. This is the real all-rounder. Unfortunately, I have no chance to see it. Now I wonder if there is anything that they can't do. If such a person is put in the position of Prime Minister, I think the Tang Empire will go further."
Old Man Chang was also frightened by the orders sent out by the Zhang family during this time. Were they still human? No matter what the problem was, as long as it was sent, a solution would be sent out immediately, as if the people inside knew everything.
Especially the 16 orders that were sent out in succession just now, he could only say that it was fear. Using everything that could be used, or using all the resources that could be used, the whole Shuzhou was at his command.
He believed that anyone who knew about this would be full of yearning for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's mysterious courtyard. They would want to go in and see what kind of person had such ability.
Old Man Pi also admitted that this person was powerful, but he did not agree with Old Man Yao's words so much. He said, "The main reason why the Zhang family can arrange the autumn harvest in Shuzhou so quickly is not because there is a master in charge, but because of the people in the inner courtyard of the Zhang Family and Wang Family.
Without them, no one else could carry out such orders, and they would be busy to death. From the orders, it could be seen that Xiao Bao and Cuckoo's courtyard was only in charge of making a proposal, and there were not many details. Only the people they arranged could fill in the details themselves.
If it were someone else, not to mention filling in the details, they would be so busy that they could not complete the task, and they might be exhausted to death. If all the original officials in Shuzhou were replaced by people from the inner courtyard of the Zhang Family and Wang Family, Shuzhou's current development would be faster.
It's hard for a normal person to get even one of these talents. I don't know how the Zhang and Wang Clans taught them, but they're even better than those who passed the imperial examinations. They're able to adapt to all positions. This is the true strength of the Zhang and Wang Clans. As long as the people of the inner court don't disperse, no one can beat them down. "
Old Man Pi was very envious of the Zhang Family and Wang Family for having so many people who were proficient in government affairs. The talents cultivated by the imperial court could not be compared to the Zhang Family and Wang Family, let alone the people in his own family.
With a sigh, Old Man Bi continued, "This kind of person is impossible for others to rope in even if they wanted to. He actually managed to support an entire province. There are also those from the inner courtyard who did not participate in this. They have all gone to the villages to provide technical guidance to the commoners. If those people could be used as well, I reckon …"
"I reckon that all the officials in Luoyang are dead. As long as the people from the Zhang Family and Wang Family are around, they can directly fill in the gaps and allow things to continue as usual." Without waiting for Old Man Pi to finish speaking, Old Man Yao interrupted.
"That's right. It's no wonder that when Zhang Zhong's official position was arranged, his family always had to move to other places. It turns out that it wasn't just for Zhang Zhong to accumulate political achievements, and it wasn't just for him to open up businesses and earn money. It was also to nurture the people of the inner court to adapt to government affairs."
Old Man Pi finally understood. However, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he felt. The experts from the Zhang Family were too far-sighted. In the future, when they really entered the imperial court and became officials, they would rely on the people they sponsored and the people from the Academy. Whenever Zhang Zhong made a decision, such people would definitely be able to smoothly execute it.
Even if the people from the inner courtyard of the Zhang Family and Wang Family could not become officials, they could still be sent to help others. This was how aristocratic families were formed. Other aristocratic families were formed through the efforts of generations of people in the family, but the aristocratic families of the Zhang Family and Wang Family relied on the people from the inner courtyard to complete it.
Old Man Yao also thought of this matter and said worriedly, "Then if the Zhang Family and Wang Family want to rebel, will there be any problems? The people from the inner courtyard can help them support the entire country. "
"Don't worry about this. If they wanted to rebel, they would have done it long ago. The newly discovered island is not small. As long as they bring the people of Lu Zhou there, it will be very easy for them to establish a country. After a few years, after they have dealt with the local people and settled down, they will fight back. By then, not just any general can deal with them.
They have a map of the entire Tang Empire in their hands, and it is the military type. It is very detailed. Who can stop them? Moreover, since they can develop such a powerful weapon, give them a few years, won't they be able to make even more powerful weapons? "
Old Man Pi was very confident in the Zhang Family and Wang Family. At least he knew the strength of the two families. With such strength, if they did not have other thoughts, how could they rebel in the Tang Empire's territory?
*****
While the three old men were sighing and admiring, Zhang Xiaobao's team had already walked a few miles. They were not moving slowly, as they wanted to reach Wang Jiang as soon as possible.
The seven little fellows wandered around the house for a while and looked at the surrounding scenery. It was too monotonous. One by one, they fell asleep. At this time, the speed of the team slowed down a little.
"Cuckoo, when we get there, we can eat crabs as much as we want. It's a good place. Maybe we can continue to develop like this in the future. Why do we have to farm?"
Zhang Xiaobao rode on his horse and went around the house. When he was side by side with Wang Juan, he said.
"That won't do. The grain is still not enough. It has not reached the level of the Kaiyuan era. No matter what, we have to continue to farm. However, we can raise crabs in the field, and it can also increase the current rice yield. It's not a good hybrid breed. Unlike later, when it affected the grain yield, we need to use crabs to make up for the price."
Wang Juan did not agree with Zhang Xiaobao's words. She felt that it was better to farm. Only when the people had enough to eat, they could do other things.
Zhang Xiaobao did not refute. "Then let's farm. See if we can find more people from the Capital's Agriculture Temple. There are many good seeds, but because of the transportation problem, if we want to use such seeds to plant, the cost is too high. Therefore, many places keep their own seeds."
"There should be no problem. As long as we succeed in raising seeds here, then even if we don't say anything, there will be people who are willing to come here to study and learn. Do you want to rope them in?"
Wang Juan could not think of Zhang Xiaobao's plan.
"No need. If that's the case, some people will not be willing. I just want to give them some advice and let them take less detours. We can't monopolize the matters of the people's lives. Otherwise, we will face the attacks of those in power."
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head and said.
*****
Others could travel faster on horseback, but now, it was impossible for a large group to arrive at their destination in just a few days. It seemed that even at the fastest speed, it would take at least ten days to travel. Moreover, this was under the condition that the road was easy to travel.
The seven little ones could not stay in the house all day. They had to take some time out to play every day. If they encountered something curious, they would have to ask Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to play with them.
Therefore, the group traveled for half a month before they arrived at their destination. At this time, the invitations had been sent out. Zhang Zhong's reputation was not small. Everyone who received an invitation agreed to come. Even the local people who had some influence did not refuse.
Zhang Xiaobao also understood that they did not come to see their father. They came to establish a connection with the Sea Cloud Chamber of Commerce. Currently, Lu Zhou's things were no longer transported to the capital to be sold. About one-third of the amount was left in Shuzhou.
Now, the Sea Cloud Chamber of Commerce was still in charge of the transactions. They did not ask for the help of other merchants. Of course, this kind of management method was not good. It was a waste of talent. Any knowledgeable merchant knew that when Zhang Zhong was almost done with the construction here, it would be time for him to leave.
Once he left, there would not be so many people from the Sea Cloud Chamber of Commerce working here. They would have to give many of the transactions to the local people. They were waiting for such an opportunity.
When the group had just arrived at Wangjiang County, Zhang Xiaobao received a gift from San Shui County. It was impossible for them to go back this year. Even if the farmers wanted to, they could not do anything. They could only send the best things they thought to the main family.
Smoked chicken and roasted chicken could not be kept for too long, so they could not send them. Then, what they could send was the local grain. They picked the best rice ears and shipped them with the ship to let the main family see how the harvest was in San Shui County.
The plump rice ears made Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan very happy. This was the real high yield. Although the rice that was sent this time was the best, they thought that it was not bad. It seemed that it was a good idea to let the people from the Si Agriculture Temple go over.
Compared to the previous yield, the current yield was more than two times. This was the average yield. If it was better land, it could even reach three times the original yield.
If this grain was used as seeds, then according to the theory of genetics, the seeds that were researched in the future would yield even more rice. Generation after generation, in just a few years, the grain output of the entire Great Tang would increase by a large margin.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's request was actually not too high. They only wanted to increase the grain yield of the entire Tang Dynasty by 1.5 times. This way, they would have more than half of the grain, which was not a small amount.
The only pity was that the two of them did not know the technology of hybrid rice. Otherwise, not to mention the current few people in the Tang Dynasty, even if there were ten times more, there would not be any problems.
Wangjiang County was still a large construction site. After the dam that helped to guide the flow of water was repaired, a portion of the people continued to repair the road, and the rest began to repair the bridge under guidance.
The speed of the bridge repair was not dependent on how fast the workers were, but on how long it would take for the cement to solidify. Zhang Xiaobao also knew that with the weather here, it was impossible to reach the speed of Shenzhen. If the cement did not dry, was he going to continue to repair it?
Although they had used fire to dry it, the effect was not very good.
When the seven little guys came to this dam that had no water, they went crazy. It was the first time they had seen such a big pit, so they were very excited. As long as one of them ran around, the other six would follow behind.
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came over, they did not let anyone inform them in advance. When Zhang Zhong saw his son and daughter-in-law, he was also shocked. When he saw the group of little guys, he frowned and called Zhang Xiaobao over.
"Everyone here is busy now. Why did you bring them here?"
"Father, you do your thing. We won't cause trouble. With someone watching them, you don't have to worry about their safety. Besides, the people now have a different opinion of you than before. They can also help to ensure the safety of our younger siblings. I just brought them out to play."
Zhang Xiaobao explained to his father. In fact, he had other things to say. Zhang Zhong had not seen his younger siblings for a long time. If this continued, it would be easy for his younger siblings to alienate Zhang Zhong. That was not a good thing.
Seeing that his son insisted, Zhang Zhong could not drive his son back. He looked at the progress of the construction below and said, "Watch them carefully. Don't fall. Otherwise, both families will be finished."
"Father, I know. Don't worry. Father, shouldn't we get someone to transport the wood here now? It seems that the bridge will be built in another half a month. As long as the water doesn't fall, people will start to pass on it."
Zhang Xiaobao was very satisfied with the progress of the construction below. The working people were indeed the most hardworking and the wisest. Originally, they had to see how dry the cement was before they could continue the construction. Generally speaking, there was no other way to do this, especially in this era.
However, when the commoners were working, they could think of letting a portion of the cement dry a little bit, and then mix it with steel and copper to add to the pile. This way, the cement connection would not be too bad, and at the same time, the pier would dry faster.
"Xiao Bao, can they do this? The cement is not directly poured in. If they dry it outside, it will be easy for something to go wrong. It's just that the adhesion is not good. "
Wang Juan asked worriedly as she looked at the people below who were busy.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Don't worry, there won't be a problem. Even if it's not good, it's better than what we built at that time. At least we didn't pull a thick steel bar into a steel wire. The pier is so clumsy. There's no beauty in it. It's just a little bit of cement. It's not a problem in terms of adhesion."
"Can it withstand a once-in-a-century flood?" Wang Juan had never studied civil engineering, and she knew that Zhang Xiaobao also did not have the opportunity to learn. She did not understand the current situation. Was it really possible to use such methods?
"Once-In-A-Century flood? There's no such thing as the Three Gorges Reservoir now, so don't worry. At worst, we can just build another one. It's just a matter of money. We don't lack money, and the people working are not the construction team after Six Packs. I'll tell you this. Although the construction is not as good as what we built at that time, the quality is definitely not as good as what we built at that time.
Haven't you read the information? When the Japanese invaded, the houses built were still in use a few decades before our time. They were very sturdy, and the sewers were not easily blocked. After a flood, the new houses collapsed, but the houses left behind by the Japanese were still fine.
Was it because the Japanese were better at that time? That's not the case at all. The most important thing is how much material you use and what kind of steel is used. Our construction team should continue to develop. When the time comes, we can take on all of Tang Dynasty's construction projects.
I have already decided on Zhengzheng Construction Group. Not only does it show the quality of the buildings, but it also shows the attitude of the people in the construction group. I don't believe that we can't change the atmosphere at that time. It's all about money, and there's no morality. "
The more Zhang Xiaobao thought about it, the angrier he got. Every time there was a flood or a small earthquake, the houses would collapse one by one. It was fine if it was something that had not happened for many years, but the problem was that there were other countries to compare.
The same scale of flood, same magnitude of earthquake, and other countries were fine. Even the government had to apologize when they were injured. But when it came to their country, many people died, and they were still bragging about how good it was. How shameless was that?
Wang Juan saw Zhang Xiaobao's expression changing as he spoke. She hugged Zhang Xiaobao's arm and said, "You also caused a lot of trouble. You didn't stay in China for long, right? I'm talking about after you started scamming people. Why do you have to do that? Who do you blame? Can you guarantee that ordinary people will also serve the people sincerely when they reach that position one day? "
Zhang Xiaobao was stunned for a moment. Wang Juan's words made a lot of sense. Why blame the officials? The officials also worked their way up from being ordinary people. If those black-hearted businessmen didn't earn more money, wouldn't they be ordinary people?
This kind of thing was too complicated, and it was impossible to explain it clearly. Every citizen might have been a part of the formation of this system. It was just that the citizens had pushed this system out, but they were hurt by it. If they really wanted to blame someone, they should blame everyone in the Chinese nation.
No one should think that they were innocent. Perhaps this was the case for this nation. However, this nation was the only one that still existed after all the other ancient civilizations were gone. How could it be so chaotic?
"Perhaps it is because of such a race that such a system was introduced. Or perhaps it is because of such a race that others cannot see through that they are still standing strong when other ancient civilizations have fallen. If so, what can we do?"
Zhang Xiaobao felt lost. The more he thought, the more confused he became.
"Us? What we have to do is not to waste our time in this world. We have to try our best to realize our ideas. We are not saviors, and you don't have to put yourself in such a high position. As long as our families are safe, as long as we can help those who need help, we will have succeeded. "
