Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Today, the imperial envoy of the General Manager's Mansion will speak on the wooden platform again!

In less than half an hour, the market was already crowded.

After Zhang Dun arrived, he went straight to the wooden platform.

In an instant, there was no sound around.

All eyes were on him.

"Ahem!" Zhang Dun cleared his throat, and then said loudly, "Father folks, have you made any money from cutting down bamboo these days?"

It's okay not to mention it, but when it comes to this matter, the victims are immediately outraged.

"no!"

"Zhang Shaoyin, someone is making trouble out of it, doesn't the chief executive's office care about it?"

"That's right, I've worked hard all morning to cut down the bamboo, and by the afternoon, all the bamboo has been robbed! It's useless to report to the police!"

Among the victims, someone couldn't help but shouted loudly.

"The officer has also heard about this matter."

Zhang Dun sighed, and said: "But now we in Hedong Road are in dire straits, no matter how many people there are, they won't be enough."

"But don't worry, the chief manager's mansion is thinking about you!"

"The General Manager's Office has been thinking about how to make money for you for the past few days!"

"And today, the reason why I'm here is to tell you that the General Manager's Mansion will provide you with another chance to make money!"

Hearing this, the victims froze for a moment, and soon saw Hu Guang stepping up to the wooden platform again.

As if he didn't see the resentful gaze cast by Hu Guang, Zhang Dun pointed at him and said loudly, "Yesterday, the General Manager's Mansion received a lot of bamboo. What's the use of these bamboos?"

"To be honest, I can't figure it out, after all, it's Store Hu who paid the money."

"Today, Shopkeeper Hu made it clear to me that he wants to use these bamboos to make bamboo tools!"

Zhang Dun paused, glanced at the disaster victims who were listening, and continued to speak loudly:

"Shop Hu heard about what happened to you last night, and immediately found the official!"

"He said that the bamboo was originally collected, and he would ask the bamboo craftsman to make bamboo utensils."

"However, it hurts my heart to see all of you clothed and starving, so he decided to teach you how to make bamboo utensils."

Speaking of this, Zhang Dun raised his voice on purpose: "He will take back the bamboo utensils you have made at a high price!"

"Like this!"

While talking, Zhang Dun gave Ma Yuangui a glance at the audience.

Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang hurriedly moved the bamboo stools and chairs up.

"See this thing? It's called a bamboo stool!"

Zhang Dun raised the bamboo stool high and said loudly: "A bamboo stool can be sold for five yuan!"

"Listen carefully!"

Pointing to the bamboo stool, he said loudly, "These five cents are not the market price, but the price that Shopkeeper Hu charged from you!"

"That is to say, if someone of you makes a bamboo stool out of bamboo, Shopkeeper Hu will pay you five Wen to take the bamboo stool away!"

"As for you, you won't lose a penny, let alone cost!"

Zhang Dun said loudly: "The cost is all paid by the chief manager's office!"

His voice fell, and there was a deathly silence below the stage.

"..."

The victims looked at Zhang Dun dumbfounded. How can you get five cents for a bamboo stool?

This is more profitable than cutting down bamboo!

Moreover, making bamboo utensils is much easier than cutting bamboo.

The point is, don't we need to pay the cost?

Also teach us how to make bamboo utensils?

The victims looked at each other in blank dismay, and there was an uproar immediately.

"Zhang Shaoyin, is that really the case?"

Someone shouted excitedly: "Is what you said true?"

Zhang Dun nodded with a smile: "I am an imperial envoy appointed by the imperial court. Why did you come to Hedong Road? Isn't it just to find a way for you to survive?"

"I'm using the head as a guarantee, there is absolutely no falsehood!"

The victims breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, and then put a smile on their faces.

Looking at Zhang Dun, the victims felt cordial from the bottom of their hearts. This Zhang Shaoyin, the young imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to Hedong Road, was really thinking of them!

At this time, Zhang Dun did not stop, but picked up a bamboo chair and said loudly:

"Fellow folks, besides bamboo stools, there are other things!"

He raised the bamboo chair and said: "This is called a bamboo chair, and one can sell for seven Wen."

Zhang Dun pointed to the bamboo bed on the side again, and said, "This is called a bamboo bed, and one can be sold for fifteen Wen."

"There are also bamboo baskets, bamboo hangers, and bamboo drying poles..."

"Everyone, what are you waiting for?"

He said more than a dozen kinds in one breath, Zhang Dun didn't take a breath, looked at the victims seriously, and said loudly: "Mr. Hu Dashan is here, waiting for you to finish collecting the bamboo tools!"

"Whoever wants to learn how to make bamboo utensils, go to the General Manager's Mansion!"

"There, someone will teach you!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Dun did not forget to smile at the victims and said, "The whole process is free of charge, and you can learn for free!"

Chapter 262 We Do What Zhang Dun of the General Manager's Mansion Does

"Anyone of you who wants to go, go to the General Manager's Mansion now and register."

Zhang Dun looked at them with a smile and said loudly: "Those who are registered can learn tomorrow! Anyone who wants to make money, go!"

The victims were very excited, without Zhang Dun needing to say more, they had already headed towards the chief manager's mansion.

Seeing that the number of disaster victims in the audience continued to decrease, Zhang Dun turned his head to look at Lu Zizang, and said, "Calculate how many disaster victims have come."

Lu Zizang excitedly said: "Understood!"

On the way back, Du Yan and Changsun Wuji looked at Zhang Dun with complicated eyes.

"Zhang Shaoyin, you are a ring and a ring. This is the first time I have seen that someone can use this method to deal with the disaster in Hedong Road."

Du Yan said with emotion: "However, this old man can still see hope."

Ma Yuangui and Cheng Yaojin who followed behind kept nodding.

Changsun Wuji also nodded slightly with his hands behind his back.

Whether the disaster on Hedong Road is serious or not is visible to the naked eye.

As for how to solve it, everyone has their own way.

This time Li Er sent the three of them to Hedong Road to solve the disaster.

Du Yan and Changsun Wuji asked themselves, they couldn't be troubled.

But it takes time.

Moreover, there may be changes in the period.

They thought they couldn't do something like Zhang Dun's.

Because of this, the two had to re-examine him, and had to admit that it was a wise move for Li Er to try everything possible to make Zhang Dun an official.

Zhang Dun shook his head with a smile and said, "The next official is just doing his duty."

"Anyway, the victims of the disaster in Hedong Road are also the people of Datang."

Du Yan nodded and said: "That's right, the tyrants annexed the land, and the chaos is the foundation of our Tang Dynasty, so the court must prevent them from annexing the common people's land."

"Your method is very good, at least better than the old man's method."

As he spoke, he glanced at Changsun Wuji and asked, "Could Changsun Shangshu think of a better way?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head, indicating that he couldn't do it, then stared at Zhang Dun, and said, "Zhang Shaoyin, I have a question."

Zhang Dun said curiously: "Eldest Sun Shangshu, but it doesn't matter."

Changsun Wuji said solemnly: "As you saw just now, there are a lot of disaster victims going to the chief manager's mansion. With so many people, do you think there will be people who are not disaster victims coming in?"

Hearing this, Du Yan, Cheng Yaojin, and Ma Yuangui's expressions became a bit more dignified.

Changsun Wuji's words hit the lifeline.

It wasn't the disaster victims who said it, but the Chen family and the dozen or so gentry!

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice: "The old man feels that the Chen family and those noble gentry might be a hindrance."

"They sent some people to sneak in as victims of disasters and make trouble for you. I'm afraid this matter will not be so easy."

Zhang Dun thought for a while and said, "The meaning of Changsun Shangshu is that people who sneak in will disrupt the manufacture of bamboo tools, and even produce some defective products, so that we can't even sell them?"

"It's all light."

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "I'm afraid that those people will make bigger troubles for you."

"Not afraid."

Zhang Dun pondered: "I have a way."

Changsun Wuji stared at him for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more questions.

Since he said that there is a way, Changsun Wuji believes that he will never aim at nothing.

Du Yan asked curiously, "What can you do?"

"Duke will know when the time comes."

Zhang Dun smiled, did not explain much, but led everyone back to the chief executive's mansion.

After sitting down in the hall for about half an hour, Lu Zizang walked in quickly and said excitedly:

"Zhang Shaoyin, Du Gong, Changsun Gong, Cheng Gong, the number of people has been counted."

"There are a total of 6000 disaster victims registered in our General Manager's Mansion this time."

As he spoke, he did not forget to remind: "This is only today, and there will probably be more people coming tomorrow."

Zhang Dun nodded in satisfaction. The more victims, the better. After all, these people are all cheap labor!

Thinking of this, Zhang Dun beckoned, called Manager Ma and Lu Zizang to his side, and whispered the plan in their ears.

"Remember, after the disaster victims arrive tomorrow, you will do as I said!"

"no problem!"

"Zhang Shaoyin, don't worry!"

Manager Ma and Lu Zizang patted their chests and assured.

----

"Sure enough! This old man knows that what Zhang did was the work of a bamboo stick craftsman!"

The Chen family, upon receiving the news brought back by the housekeeper, Chen Ran sneered, and said to the dozen or so gentry sitting in the hall:

"If the old man's predictions are correct, when the disaster victims get out the bamboo tools, the three imperial envoys of the General Manager's Mansion will sell the things to other counties that have not been affected by the disaster."

More than a dozen gentry nodded one after another, with worried expressions on their faces.

They didn't expect Zhang Dun to come up with such a way to help the victims make money.

Not to mention the other disaster-stricken counties and counties in Hedong Road, but only Jinyang County, the governing place of Hedong Road.

There are tens of thousands of victims alone.
