Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

"No!" After hearing Lao Huang's loud promise immediately, Zhang Zishan slammed his tightly clenched right hand on his left palm, "Okay!" At the same time, County Magistrate Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. .

Zhao Huhu's face was still calm, but after hearing the news, he just stood up and lay down again suddenly, "Tang Cheng, bring me a bowl of water, this day is too evil, boring people It's like my heart is on fire."

Hearing that there is nothing abnormal in the West Road, Tang Cheng was suddenly happy, but just after the joy, he was more and more eager to know the news of the other three roads, but behind this urgency was an inexplicable worry In case Erlongzhai had already prepared a large amount of salt...

Tian'er was originally stuffy and hot, and coupled with this ups and downs, urgency and worry, Tang Cheng's current state was exactly as Zhao Huhu said, and his heart was on fire. Same.

Bringing water to Zhao Huhu, County Magistrate Zhang and Zhang Zishan, they drank a large bowl of water in one breath just like Tang Cheng was in the house just now, even Zhang County, who has always been polite, order without exception.

After waiting for about an hour, the tolerance from South Road also came back, and the answer was still "no".

Then came the east side, and the result of the return was "nothing!".

It was already sunset at this time, and according to the usual practice, it was time to go back to the house where he stayed overnight. Tang Cheng looked at the county magistrate Zhang who was sitting on the twig, and said nothing.

Not only was County Magistrate Zhang waiting here with a serious face, even Zhang Zishan and Zhao Huhu were not interested in talking at all, they just turned their heads from time to time in silence to look at the mountain road to the north, and in their small Outside the circle, more than a dozen other officials with dark and haggard faces also gathered together. No one spoke, but all eyes were fixed on the north side.

Right now, the scene is silently weird and silently dignified. This is the only way to go. There must be no problems on this way. Tang Cheng, who is also silent and speechless, mechanically shakes the branch in his hand, and this sentence is what he thinks back and forth talk.

At the moment when the dim and dull sun completely set from the distant horizon, there was finally a faint sound of horseshoes on the mountain road in the north. As soon as the sound of horseshoes came, Zhang County Magistrate's cheeks suddenly turned red , because of gritting his teeth too hard, the two ribs of flesh on his cheeks rolled like water waves for a while.

No one greeted them, so Zhang Zishan and those outside the small circle stood up involuntarily, staring stiffly at the mountain road in the north under the last ray of the setting sun.

When the sound of the horse's hooves sounded just now, Tang Chengcheng felt a "boom" in his heart, and then he felt that his heartbeat was completely integrated with the "treading" sound of the horse's hoofs. As the horse ran faster and faster, the sound of the horse's hoofs It was getting louder and louder, and his heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

"Old Luo, what... how are you doing?", when Zhang Zishan, who was standing on the stilt, shouted, there was an obvious trill in his voice!

"No!" Although the sound of horseshoes was mixed in, Lao Luo's voice was still extremely clear. Immediately after, Tang Chengcheng heard a loud panting, Zhang Zishan froze on the bed, and Zhang County Magistrate slowly closed the door. The eyes that were wide open just now, but the two touches of red on the face became more intense.

Almost subconsciously, following Lao Luo's reply, Tang Cheng's hands suddenly tightened, and then he felt his whole body loosen suddenly, as if he had been drained of strength, especially the high heart that had just been suspended. Nothing but reality.

"Successful, my method has succeeded!" Tang Cheng's mind was filled with only this thought.

"Looking at your long Wenxiu, your hands are quite strong." The words from beside Tang Cheng returned to normal. When he turned his head to look, he found that his hand was tightly grasping Zhao Huhu's arm. Hey!It's all because I was too nervous just now.

It was also Zhao Huhu's words that made the atmosphere in the small circle that seemed a bit depressed due to excessive silence alive, "Brother, it's done!", the excited Zhang Zishan said this sentence with a particularly loud voice, and after he finished speaking He ran to the group of tolerance officers.

As Zhao Huhu spoke, County Magistrate Zhang slowly opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and when he was about to stand up, he staggered suddenly and was caught by Tang, who was also breathing. Cheng was supported.

"It's getting dark too. There are many mosquitoes outside. Take County Captain Zhao back." In the plain words of County Magistrate Zhang, there was a sense of weakness after recovering from a serious illness, but his eyes never left. Erlong Peak in the night.

"Finally I can sleep soundly." In the enclosure where the oil lamp was lit, Zhao Huhu sighed contentedly, then patted Tang Cheng who was helping him to lie down, "If the Erlong can be calmed down this time, Zhai, you are the first one!".

Seeing that Tang Cheng was stunned for a moment, Zhao Huhu smiled, lay down and stretched his body, "I'm old, I'm really old! Not only is my body failing, but my brain is also failing! Xianyan, hey, Xianyan...".

Because County Magistrate Zhang was waiting outside, Tang Cheng didn't stay in the enclosure too long, he helped Zhao Huhu lie down and went out.

Accompanied by County Magistrate Zhang on the way to the lodging house, the words Zhao Huhu just said kept flashing in Tang Cheng's mind. Behind the suppressed excitement was a faint expectation. The benefits that Tiger and even Zhang Zishan can get are obvious, so what about him?

What can he get for being the first person to give advice?Promotion?With his short experience in entering the county government, this is unlikely, bounty?Maybe...or after Erlongzhai is completely pacified this time, he will be able to fulfill his biggest wish for more than a year, and he can build a house for the Tang and Zhang couples in the countryside!

Thinking of this chaotically, Tang Cheng, who rode his horse against the night wind, not only didn't feel cold, but a warm joy filled his body, and there was also a little... unspeakable sense of pride and accomplishment!

Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or later generations, when every young man who came out of a poor family ran to a distant place, he always had the same longing in his heart, right?When they finally earned enough money to buy a new house for a poor family after hard work, did they all have the same pride and strong sense of accomplishment that Tang Cheng had at this time?

When Tang Cheng followed County Magistrate Zhang to the dormitory, Mrs. Yu Qisao and his wife were still waiting for them to come back for dinner. Hot toilet water was brought up, and they drank a bowl of hot tea, although some water would inevitably drip on their foreheads. Sweating, but most of the fatigue was poured out by the hot tea.

Looking at the seven or eight vegetable bowls on a large table, Magistrate Zhang put down the teacup and asked with a smile, "Huh? Why are there so many dishes today?".

County Magistrate Zhang's question only made Mrs. Yu Qi, who was rubbing her fingers with her apron on one side, both aggrieved and happy. The aggrieved thing was that there were so many dishes last night, how much thought did she spend on preparing these dishes?How many people did you borrow?She was happy to see the county master finally smile. This was the first time the county master had lived in her house, which showed that the county master was happy now and also felt her sincerity.

No, this opportunity cannot be missed!Otherwise the family has to...

Thinking of this, Yu Qisao didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and rubbed her apron with her hands suddenly, "Master Zhang, your lord has a lot, so please just forgive our mountain people's nonsense, I kowtow to you ".

County magistrate Zhang didn't understand what Yu Qisao was talking about at all, so he was confused and supported Yu Qisao who was about to bow down, "Where did you say that?".

Although County Magistrate Zhang didn't understand, Tang Cheng remembered what the couple said the night before, because he had been paying attention to the investigations of the tolerances for the past two days, but he forgot about it, but he didn't expect to become Yu Qi Sister-in-law's heart disease.Immediately, he explained the ins and outs of the matter, and finally smiled slightly: "It is God's will, if I hadn't heard the couple talk about salt, I would not have remembered it!".

"God's will, it really is God's will!" After hearing Tang Cheng's words, the smile on Zhang County Magistrate's face became even bigger, "Tang Cheng, you make a note, and when I see Wang Lizheng tomorrow, I will give you an order to pick up the officials at home these few days. The envoy fee is made up at [-] Wen a day, and it will be made up tomorrow, not a penny less!".

Tang Cheng agreed with a smile, and Mrs. Yu Qi over there was also full of surprises. What a county lord in this era means in the eyes of the farmers is far beyond the imagination of future generations. How did you come here for two days?With such an ending now, Mrs. Yu Qi couldn't even express her excited words of thanks. In the end, she pulled the man out together to say thanks, and then her eyes turned red.

This night, County Magistrate Zhang's appetite was more than double that of the previous few days, and he took the initiative to drink four cups of the farm's homemade mulled wine. Not long after returning to his room for a rest, he heard a low and steady snoring sound .

Chapter 94 The civil strife in Erlongzhai has fallen!

On the other hand, Tang Cheng tossed and turned on the couch for a while, thinking about the new house at home, wondering if he could receive the bounty, and how much would the bounty be?I'm afraid it's not enough to build a full-brick house. If there is a good reward, maybe a half-brick and half-rammed-earth house can be built.The house can use less bricks, but the courtyard door outside must be connected with big blue bricks. Father Tang Shuan has said it several times. The gate built in this way saves material and looks grand... With these thoughts churning in his mind, Tang Cheng slowly fell asleep.

Tang Cheng and County Magistrate Zhang set foot on their way back to Yunxi County on the afternoon of the second day. County Magistrate Zhang had been out for several days. Since Erlongzhai had found a solution, he should go back.

It is said that Zhao Huhu should come back together this time, but he himself refused to break the rules that he had maintained for more than [-] years, and the magistrate Zhang also wanted to rely on him to hold the line here, so he didn't force it, just thinking about going back. After Ya, he found some better doctors from the city and sent them there.

The chief arrester, Zhang Zishan, has not come back. Now he is urging the recruited young men to do civil engineering work like chicken blood. In short, he completely sealed off the foot of Erlong Peak. This guy Shan Why don't bandits be tortoises? Okay, grandpa will help you, so that you don't even want to stick out the head of the tortoise.

Of course, this aspect is for the needs of the siege. After all, the strong men should be dismissed after finishing their work. It is not a problem to consume food every day. The pressure on the official warehouse is too great; Eating for free and not working, the strong men can't feel at ease.After the high earth barrier is built, the hard tire bows and powerful crossbows in the hands of the tolerances will be enough to condescend and completely block the way down the mountain.

Besides, this is for future considerations, Erlongzhai is too dangerous, if such a place is not controlled, next time if a group of people run up to make an old story of occupying the mountain and become king, Zhang Zishan will definitely vomit blood.

Along with County Magistrate Zhang and Tang Cheng came back a group of eight Tolerances, named guards, who actually went back to change shifts. After all, Tolerances were miserable enough in Erlongzhai, and now they just come back for a change of rest.

Different from the rush when he came, County Magistrate Zhang obviously calmed down a lot when he returned, so he didn't travel too fast. Finally, Tang Cheng, who is not good at riding skills, suffered some crimes. After Shi Fen returned to the county, his whole body seemed to be falling apart.

After returning home, taking a bath and eating a full meal, Tang Cheng didn't even talk to Li Yingwan and Lancao, and fell asleep. The sleep was so sweet!

The next morning, Tang Cheng, who was still feeling sore, didn't listen to the advice of the woman and Lancao, and arrived at the county school on time. He had already missed a lot of homework, so he might as well go if he could.

In the days that followed, Tang Cheng returned to his previous life, but his mind was no longer as peaceful as before. Just like County Magistrate Zhang, he always thought of Erlongzhai three or four times a day.

Speaking of which, when County Magistrate Zhang came to Erlongzhai, the tolerance of the first group had been staying in the village for nearly a month. According to the habit and frequency of buying salt by ordinary households, in fact, Tang Cheng and the others When we arrive, the salty salt stored on the mountain will be enough to eat.If you take into account that the bandits are fighting hard, they may be able to resist for another two months. By then, the men will be better, and women and children, especially children, will not be able to bear it.If you do the calculations like this, the end of July will come to an end.

Although he had a timetable in mind, Tang Cheng was always a little apprehensive when he saw that the gangsters couldn't bear to go down the mountain. Although he knew that the officials had checked and verified, he still had an idea from time to time, in case they Last time I bought a lot of salt...

Worrying about gains and losses, everyone will have such emotions more or less when facing major events, and Tang Cheng is no exception.

The days passed between being busy and occasionally worrying about gains and losses, until one afternoon at the beginning of July more than a month later, when Tang Cheng was holding a morning newspaper in the office of the county government office and bowing his head in meditation, his long-awaited question about Erlongzhai The good news has finally arrived.

At that time, Tang Cheng was reading a court newspaper. In the current early Tang Dynasty, there were far no residence newspapers for later generations. However, at this time, the observers of various administrative officials usually arrange confidantes to live in the imperial capital Chang'an for the purpose of Collect news from various temples in Miyagi and the Imperial City, and then send it back to the place regularly through the Ministry of War.So that the local officials can grasp the situation in the capital.This kind of handwritten information that records the imperial family of the imperial capital and various temples in the imperial city is called "chaobao", and chao naturally refers to the imperial court.

After these court reports were passed back to the various provinces, the governors of the states under their jurisdiction would copy them again until they were finally distributed to the local area. This is also an important source of information for local officials to understand the court's movements.

There is nothing too new in this latest "Chaobao" copied from the state. The reason why Tang Cheng reads it so carefully is because there are two pieces of news in the Chaobao that vaguely stimulated him.

These two pieces of news come from the Shipbuilding Department of Yangzhou City. They said that since the beginning of this year, they have encountered continuous sea storms and pirate raids, so the huge ocean-going ships that specialize in the Maritime Silk Road have suffered huge losses. The family and merchants jointly wrote to the Ship Department of the City, requesting that the Yamen of the Ship Department of Yangzhou City take over the business of tung oil, so as to support the construction of seagoing ships in Huainan Road and Jiangnan East Road.

The other is a memorandum on the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. It is intended to impeach and ask the court to order Lingnan Road Observers and Marching Ambassadors to work together to wipe out the pirate gang headed by the Feng family in Chunzhou, Lingnan as soon as possible, so as to ensure the safety of ocean-going commercial routes. Safety.

Yangzhou was the most prosperous place in Tang Dynasty except for the three capitals. The richest maritime merchants in the world, as well as the most exquisite bulk porcelain, silk and so on in Daozhou.Therefore, the blockage of maritime trade routes has a fatal impact on Yangzhou.This is why the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will tear up its face and impeach the military and political yamen of Lingnan Road.

However, if we look at the memorials of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Yangzhou and the memorials of the Shipbuilding Department in turn, we can clearly see that since the beginning of this year, no matter whether it is Tang Dynasty maritime merchants or Persian maritime merchants, they have suffered great losses. This directly stimulates Li Yingwan's shop is mainly engaged in tung oil business, and it is also the largest tung oil merchant in the county.

Can you take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune?Because Tang Cheng didn't know the details of the tung oil business, Tang Cheng didn't have a definite idea about it. He just remembered these two pieces of information. As for the other things, he'd better go back and ask Li Yingwan.

Just when Tang Cheng was concentrating on the morning newspaper, the door of his office room was suddenly pushed open, and the handyman Old Sun led a sweaty official standing outside, "Tang Lushi, He wants to see County Magistrate Zhang."

"Old Luo!" After seeing who was coming, Tang Cheng threw the newspaper aside with a "wow", and came to the door in two or three steps, "Is there any good news for Erlongzhai?" He asked, He has personally led the tolerance Lao Luo to the official office of Zhang County Magistrate.

"Erlongzhai has descended." Lao Luo's three simple words made Tang Cheng's heart fall to the ground. This is the first time that he pushed the county magistrate Zhang's office directly without knocking on the door. .

County magistrate Zhang, who was buried in the book case by the door, raised his head and looked at Tang Cheng in surprise, but then he stood up and fixed his eyes on Lao Luo behind Tang Cheng.

"Captain Zhao County reprimanded me to announce the good news to your lord. Just the evening before yesterday, Erlong Village fell!" After saying the most important sentence, Lao Luo looked sideways at Tang Cheng, and said in a hoarse voice: "Tang Cheng Recorder, please give me a glass of water, this journey is too fast, my throat is going to smoke."

When Tang Cheng poured the water and came in again, at least on the surface, the expression on Zhang County Magistrate's face had returned to calm. After taking the water, Lao Luo drank it all in one go, and continued to talk about Erlongzhai.

The reason why Erlong Village fell so quickly this time was all due to civil strife. There was a family in the village who just had a son in May this year. As the first child in the family, it was naturally very distressing. The commotion has nothing to do with them, after all, the officers and soldiers can't fight, and there is no need to worry about food and drink on the mountain.

But gradually, as the salt in the food became less and less, the child's mother's health became worse and worse. Although she had no appetite, she ate the bland food for the sake of the child, but she had always been strong. The milk in the body is still getting less and less, and in the end it is almost gone.What else can a baby who is only one or two months old be weaned off?Seeing their son crying all day and all night, his body was getting thinner and thinner. After suffering for two days, the child's parents couldn't bear it anymore, and they wanted to go down the mountain to join the army in the middle of the night. Zhizhi was caught by the people arranged by the village owner Ke Changming.

Although Ke Changming repeatedly promised that as long as he can survive this period of time, everyone will be able to eat and drink hot food, he also relied on this promise to conquer the hearts of the people in the village, and made hundreds of people follow him to fight against the government and army.But these days, with the lack of salt, the owner of the village, Ke Changming, is under a lot of pressure. After catching the young couple this time, he decided to use the actions of the two to deter others.

Unexpectedly, this action directly caused the civil strife in Erlongzhai. First, the relatives of the young couple came out to stop them, and then when the two sides quarreled, the newborn who was hungry and lacked immunity died unfortunately. It was this child's death that exploded He dropped the explosive barrel, and the people of Erlongzhai felt real fear from him.They are already dizzy and weak, and when their heartbeats are accelerating, they are almost unable to care about their lives, and they can't care less about the illusory wealth that Ke Changming promised.It's only the beginning of July, who knows how long the officers and soldiers will be around?They are now starting to build walls under the stockade!Even if the wealth Ke Changming said is waiting in front of him, can he survive until then?

These days, the people of Erlongzhai, who can't eat enough salt and rice, couldn't bear it any longer. Under the leadership of the crazy young couple, they rioted completely, knocking on hoes and shovels, only the village owner Ke Changming and others were killed. More than a dozen of his confidantes were beaten to death. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was still thinking of kidnapping him as the chief criminal so that he could vote for the official, Ke Changming would have been beaten to death by the young couple on the spot.

In this regard, the Erlongzhai people, who could no longer bear it any longer, escorted Ke Changming and a dozen others down the mountain to vote for officials. This happened the afternoon before yesterday, and the high fortresses and bows and arrows prepared in advance by the Tolerances were of no use at all.

Although the matter of Erlongzhai was brief from Lao Luo's mouth, Tang Cheng could imagine that the process was not easy at all, at least the child who died in infancy, the young couple, and the mottled spots on Erlong Peak The bloodstains on his face are evidences, but no one cares about them now.

As a result, only the result is what people pay the most attention to!

Erlong Village was finally pacified, and it wasn't even August yet. At this time, the supervisory censor must still have not left on the Shannan West Road.

Ever since Lao Luo sent back the news, Tang Cheng could clearly see that County Magistrate Zhang had truly relaxed. Although he was still busy thinking about how to properly deal with the aftermath of Erlong Village, there was a long-smoldering anxiety in his brows. It was true that he could not see it anymore, and even when he sent County Magistrate Zhang home in Sanya, he heard the county magistrate Zhang humming the folk songs of the Six Dynasties Yuefu in Qing and Shang tunes.

In fact, not only County Magistrate Zhang is like this, so is Tang Cheng?When Sanya came home that night, he was obviously much more relaxed, and when he looked at the increasingly familiar streets and Yanzilou on both sides, he felt that his vision was much clearer, and even his steps became lighter.

After returning to the residence at night and having dinner, Tang Cheng thought of the two morning newspapers he read in the afternoon while chatting, so he didn't rush to the study, and asked casually: "Yingwan, the tung oil that you make a living in your shop is mainly dry. What is it for?".

"You never ask me about the things in the shop. Today the sun is coming out from the west!" Li Yingwan smiled and said, "This tung oil is squeezed from the tung fruit, and ordinary people buy it back. It is intended for household use that can be waterproof, for example, in our house, from the umbrella on rainy days to the foot bucket for washing feet, Lu Feng and even the wooden basin used for washing under the stove, you must first brush it thickly with a wooden hoop It will only work after being coated with tung oil; as for the bulk, it is mainly bought for lacquer, whether it is varnish or other colors, tung oil is always indispensable, and the ink used in your room is also indispensable for making it. To say Tung oil is a good thing, it not only dries quickly, but also can withstand heat and decay, so everyone needs some more or less.”

No wonder the sea merchants are anxious, it turns out that the big ships built without this waterproof and anti-corrosion thing can't be launched at all!

"You know a lot." Tang Cheng smiled and gave Li Yingwan a thumbs up. "Since you are in this business, you must know the origin of tung oil."

Li Yingwan frowned, and made an expression of "of course". Since her marriage with Tang Cheng was decided, her disposition has changed a lot. Although she is still competent in dealing with foreign affairs, whenever she is with Tang Cheng, But from time to time, he would show the childlike attitude in front of his eyes, "Tung trees all grow in the mountains, so the land where tung oil is produced is Daozhou with many mountains and mountains. Naturally, we produce tung oil in the east and west of Shannan. It is said that the largest one is in the southwest, but it is a pity that the Wuman people there are divided into six groups to make a lot of noise, and it is difficult to travel because of the high mountains and dense forests, so apart from the officials, the folks Merchants are afraid to go.”

Southwest, Wuman, plus the six sub-influences, Tang Cheng understood that what Li Yingwan was talking about should be Yunnan and some parts of Guizhou in later generations. As for the six forces, he should be the Six Edicts. The unified regime emerged during the Tang Dynasty, but it is not clear when exactly. Judging from what Li Yingwan said, it is clear that Yunnan has not yet achieved unification.

Doesn't this mean that the huge tung oil production capacity contained in Yunnan and Guizhou cannot be released at all now?Thinking of this, Tang Cheng cheered up a lot, "Is there a lot of tung oil production in the east and west of Shannan? How about the tung oil production in Yunxi? Are there many merchants who come to buy tung oil on weekdays?".

"Ah Cheng, why are you so concerned about this?" Although Li Yingwan was surprised, it was rare for Tang Cheng to ask her about financial matters. It was strange, but he answered crisply, "Wumanren and Jiannan The tung oil produced in Dao is the military capital designated by the imperial court. If it is not produced in large quantities, it is basically not sold in private shops. It is produced in the east and west of our Shannan, and Yunxi occupies a large peak, so there are quite a few of them produced every year. As for our shop... there are some outsider merchants there."

Tang Cheng was delighted to hear it, but Li Yingwan's last sentence puzzled him, "Oh? Why?".

"The shop is too small, what can I do! But all the merchants from heretics are big, and our small shop can't handle it. People directly look for big shops in the state, and then the shops in the state come to us to collect goods. ", Speaking of this, Li Yingwan's face is both unwilling and helpless, "I encounter such a big business every year, although it is easy to do, but most of the eaters in the middle are cut off by the shops in the state."

Hearing what Li Yingwan said, Tang Chengcheng didn't ask any more questions. A small shop can't support a big business, and even if he had the opportunity, he didn't have the capital to make a fortune. Besides, there are both eastern and western provinces in Shannan.

On the contrary, after Li Yingwan finished speaking, it was inevitable to ask Tang Cheng why he suddenly thought of this. Tang Cheng didn't hide it, and just told the news from the morning newspaper that he read in the afternoon.

"If there's such a shop, there's no need to rush to sell it. It's good to keep it in your hand to see how beautiful it is." Li Yingwan saw Tang Cheng's face was a little gloomy, so she stood up and walked behind him, and stretched out her hands to hold his shoulders, while He smiled softly and said: "Even if it is the largest tung oil shop in this county, it is nothing if it is placed in the state. , Ah Cheng, you don't have to worry about this."

"Yeah, what else can I do?" Tang Cheng patted Li Yingwan's hand on the shoulder and sighed. After traveling for more than a year, he was so poor that he really wanted to make money. Unfortunately, he finally found an opportunity but... "This It’s been a few months before you think about stocking up, and there’s still time.”

Tang Cheng felt a little sorry for losing the meaning of the shop owner who was a big business. Thinking of this, the three words "lady boss" inexplicably popped up in Li Yingwan's mind. There was a wave of warm joy, and then I heard Tang Cheng speak in layman's terms, and I only felt that this man in my heart was really stupid and cute, and people couldn't help but like it to the bottom of my heart.

After thinking about it, Li Yingwan's hand pinching Tang Cheng's shoulder reached his face, and his voice was a little softer, "Tongguo will not start to ripen until after the cold dew, and it will not be fully ripe until after the frost." , This year’s tung oil is still early! As for last year’s, when it first came out, the big ones were bought long ago, and there are actually not many left by each store. If you want to make a living with tung oil, you really have to be busy in a year It’s only three or two months. Those who use a lot of oil, such as Yangzhou Maritime, are designated to wait until this year’s new oil is squeezed out to support them.”

The woman's hand caressed her soft face, and Tang Cheng, who felt very comfortable, simply leaned against her soft and warm body. Hearing what Li Yingwan said, he finally felt a lot better, and he couldn't catch up with eating fat. Anyway, I can also drink some soup, "Anyway, there is not much money to spend, stock up, stock up more!" Tang Cheng's tone is really like a profiteer on TV in later generations.

On the day when Lao Luo returned to the city, the errands who had rested for a day at Erlongzhai began to return to Yunxi County, and with them were two hundred strong men who had been mobilized after the double harvest of wheat harvest. Of course, Erlong was also indispensable. More than a hundred bandits who returned to the village.

At this time, although Zhang Xianren is still in the county government office, his mind is on these bandits. Now the official documents written by him have been prepared, and they will report to the state city immediately after the bandits enter the prison.Of course, asking for instructions on how to deal with the bandits in this official document is just a pretext, and more importantly, it is a reward!

Suppressing bandits in the Shengping years was punished by military merit. Whenever he thinks of this, County Magistrate Zhang can't help but feel hot all over his body.

Putting down the official document that had been mulled over several times in his hand, County Magistrate Zhang looked through the slightly opened office door and fell on Tang Cheng who was talking to the handyman outside.

Chapter 95 Desperate, must return

When he first took office last year, the first thing that magistrate Zhang set out to solve was Erlongzhai. As a result, Erlongzhai was so soft and hard that he couldn't bear it. Encountering such a thing, magistrate Zhang has been very uncomfortable for the whole year.

Years later, when he went to the Yamen, due to Master Yao's soft top, Zhang County Magistrate was even more annoyed, so that he didn't even touch his favorite Go for a long time, but in this depressed mood he started to play Go. I started my own inspection tour, and the whole process of the inspection tour to the countryside like this kind of routine official article was really lackluster. The only bright spot was the hand-addicted chess game in Guanyintai Village.

It was at that time that he asked Tang Cheng to enter the county school by name, but it was nothing more than a trivial matter for a county magistrate like him, and he would naturally forget it after three or two days.But what he didn't expect was that not long after he returned to the county, he saw Tang Cheng again in the county government office, and then things became a little weird.

It was Tang Cheng who went to the state city for him, and successfully established a relationship with Sun Shijun. Thinking about Sun Shijun's methods of collecting money, County Magistrate Zhang was very fortunate that Tang Cheng was selected almost out of desperation. How flexible is the human mind!If he hadn't handled things as Lin Yunan said, it wouldn't have been easy!

The surprise brought by Tang Cheng was not over yet, and then he sent a second surprise. The person he wanted to marry turned out to be the niece and daughter of Zhao Huhu, who was allowed to be soft and comforted by him, but who had been refraining from doing anything. Success, finally captured Zhao Huatou.

But to say that the biggest surprise Tang Cheng brought was the suggestion not long ago, Xianyan... Thinking of this, County Magistrate Zhang laughed at himself. He boasted that he was good at nourishing qi, but when he encountered troubles just as the chief officer, the skill of nourishing qi disappeared completely.After the appeasement failed, all his mind and mind were entangled in force suppression and strong attack, but he never thought of such a simple and practical method, salty salt... It's not difficult at all, why didn't he think of it?If you care about it, you will be chaotic, it seems that your energy-raising skills are still not at home!

Going to the countryside because of the depression of Erlongzhai, and now Tang Cheng, whom he met in the countryside, has completely solved the troubles of Erlongzhai. Is this really the providence he said that night?

County magistrate Zhang looked at Tang Cheng who was talking to the handyman outside, and the word "Yuan Fa" first inexplicably appeared in his mind, and then he thought of a joke that Lin Yunan had inadvertently a few days ago: "I think Tang Cheng is really It is your lucky star!"

Naturally, Tang Cheng didn't expect that County Magistrate Zhang would come up with so many ideas. He was really busy these two days. He saw that more than 100 bandits were about to enter the city, but the prisons in the county couldn't be arranged. They are repeat offenders, and they cannot be placed at will. They must live in a heavily guarded cell before the official document of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is approved, otherwise it will be difficult to explain if something happens.

Since this is the case, the leaders of the tolerance team and the staff who have stayed in the yamen for the past two days are going crazy. The criminals who were originally locked up in the cell for petty theft have been thrown out, and some of them are still waiting for the Ministry of Punishment. The serious criminals who received official document approval results were put on heavy shackles and sent to Zhoucheng, where there are more prisons than in small county towns.

They got so busy that even Tang Cheng had to follow suit. After all, no matter whether it was releasing people or transferring serious criminals to prison cells, in the absence of County Captain Zhao, County Magistrate Zhang had to approve the official documents and sign them. It fell to Tang Cheng, the recorder.

The criminal name has a lot to do with it, and Tang Cheng didn't dare to neglect it. He himself is a serious and meticulous person. As a result, he was dizzy after reading just the papers for the past two days. He brought them in one by one, signed and printed them again Let the handyman grandson send them back. Tang Cheng has been really busy these two days. At any rate, the mess was finished before Zhao Huhu returned to the city. Now the old grandson is telling the grandson to send the last batch.

After two days of busy work in the dark, he finally cleared up the urgent matter, but before Tang Cheng returned to the office to stop for a while, a tolerance came to report, saying that Captain Zhao and his party were about to enter the city.

"Let's go, let's go to the city gate to meet it." After hearing the report, County Magistrate Zhang waved his hand, and walked out first with high spirits.

This time, to welcome Zhao Huhu and his party, Zhang County Magistrate, who has never been too ostentatious, set up a full guard of honor. There was a loud noise, followed by two high-spirited Tolerances with their chests and bellies raised, the water and fire sticks in their hands were polished, and they looked very dazzling.

County magistrate Zhang got off the car when he arrived at the gate of the city, and many people who were attracted by the sound of gongs and the guard of honor of the county magistrate formed a circle outside at a distance of about ten steps, looking out of the city gate with their heads probed. While muttering in a low voice, what happened again.

Tang Cheng was also standing at the gate of the city, half a step behind County Magistrate Zhang, but his mind was neither on the road ahead nor on the crowd behind him, but on Master Yao who was not far away. .
