Ancient promotion routine

"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will take good care of Chen Su." Seeing that Chen Derang had made a decision, Zhang Yanjin directly agreed.

After Chen Derang left, Zhang Yanjin asked the question in his heart: "Uncle, Zhongzhou is poor, and the reconstruction work is complicated. Why did Uncle Chen arrange Chen Su to Zhongzhou?"

"The emperor is most concerned about the reconstruction of Zhongzhou. After the Northern Expedition, there should be no battles to be fought in a few years. So what is the place where you can make contributions the fastest?"

Zhang Zhongqian took a sip of the tea, and while savoring the fragrance in his mouth, he said: "Although the reconstruction of Zhongzhou is hard work, the advantage is that it takes less time."

Zhang Yanjin couldn't help feeling in her heart that Chen Derang was really good at planning, how many years would it take to rebuild Zhongzhou no matter how hard it was?According to the speed of their project planning and the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the common people in Zhongzhou, the project can be completed within two years at the latest.

When the project is completed, the emperor will naturally offer rewards, increase officials and ranks, and exchange two years for the qualifications that others have spent five or even ten years. No matter how you look at it, it is a good deal.

Sure enough, the next day, Chen Su came to him with an appointment from the Ministry of Industry.

I saw Chen Su wearing a sapphire blue silk and satin robe, stepping on a pair of riding boots, straddling the tall horse, looking at Zhang Yanjin with high spirits and saying: "Erlang, I don't care if you are not in Chang'an City. I have wanted to go out with you to see Look, it's good now, we can be together again."

After all, he said slightly regretfully: "It's just that Li Ying has gone to the Imperial Academy now, otherwise we three cavalry can do great things together again."

They used to like big polo, and last time they won a big polo match with Zhou Qihui and stole the limelight. Later, when Chen Su talked about them, he called them cavalry.

Zhang Yanjin said very straightforwardly: "After two years, we may meet in Chang'an City."

He looked at the clothes on Chen Su's body, but didn't make a sound to remind him.

The two rushed for three days before arriving in Zhongzhou.

Sure enough, Chen Su hadn't been there for a few hours before he was bitten by mosquitoes and his face was covered with bruises, and the sweat on his body even wet his underwear.

What Zhang Yanjin, Huang Xiujun, and Yuwen Shangkai couldn't help laughing at was that the mosquito just bit a big lump on the tip of Chen Su's nose.

It may be that Chen Su was pampered at home on weekdays, and his skin is too delicate. The bump on the tip of his nose is much larger than the bumps that ordinary people get out of mosquito bites. What's more, his bump is still red and swollen.From a distance, he looks like a clown in a play, with a smear of red in the center of his nose.

After Chen Su suffered, he realized that he was dressed differently from Zhang Yanjin, Huang Xiujun, and Yuwen Shangkai.

He found that even Zhang Yanjin didn't know when he changed into the short shirt worn by the peasants, and didn't wear an inner garment at all. Not only that, he found that the three of them were all wearing straw sandals that the peasants wore for work.

"I put all the clothes in your room for you. Hurry up and change them. The weather in Zhongzhou is hot in summer. If you wear so many clothes, you will get prickly heat after a while." Zhang Yanjin couldn't bear to tease Chen Su any more, and said with a smile .

Chen Su said angrily, "You already knew this would happen, so you didn't remind me."

Zhang Yanjin laughed loudly and said: "This is a meeting gift from Zhongzhou, how can I not let you feel it?"

After more than half a month of planning and construction, Zhang Yanjin and the others already have a simple wooden house.Although this wooden house is crude, it is better than thatched shed.

Since Chen Su was not familiar with planning and building houses, Zhang Yanjin asked him to follow her and work with him on Zhongzhou's economic reconstruction.

The two quickly planned the area for planting tea trees.

Before Zhang Yanjin went to Chang'an, he asked people to search all the wild tea trees in the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains, and arranged for farmers who knew how to grow tea trees to learn how to plant and transplant tea trees.

After having people measure the total area, Zhang Yanjin and Chen Su divided the land according to the population of Nanyang and Xinyang, and then arranged for the local people to collect tea tree seeds for planting next spring.

Although it can't be planted this year, the young leaves of Zhang Yanjin on the wild tea trees are still collected, and after withering, wave greening, fermentation, baking and other processes, they are sold in batches.

Since the number of Xinyang Maojian is really too small, they were fired up to sky-high prices as soon as they arrived in Chang'an City. Even so, there are still people who are willing to buy them.

Chen Su followed Zhang Yanjin and counted the money until his face turned into a flower.

"It's not your money, why are you smiling so happily?" Zhang Yanjin teased Chen Su bluntly.

While keeping the accounts, Chen Su said, "Why are you so vulgar? I'm not happy because I make so much money, but because I can earn so much money one day."

As the son of Chen Derang, the head of the household department, Chen Su is not good at other aspects, but he has been fascinated by his father Chen Derang since he was a child, and he can calculate accounts quickly and clearly.

Zhang Yanjin didn't expect that one day he would be scolded as vulgar by Chen Su, a vulgar boy. He was about to spit out his tea.

He reluctantly swallowed the tea in his mouth, patted Chen Su on the shoulder and said, "Why do I think you have vulgarity written all over you?"

Chen Su shook his hand away and said, "Brother, I am also a serious court official now, okay? This is not what it used to be, don't you understand?"

While the two were busy chatting, a yamen servant hurried in from the outside and said, "My lord, Yuanwai Lang, it's not good, there are troubles in Nanyang and Xinyang, and Shi, the governor of the government, was knocked unconscious! "

"What?" Zhang Yanjin and Chen Su stood up immediately, not as relaxed and happy as when they were joking just now.

The two hurried along with the yamen servant, and finally arrived at the tea tree garden that Zhang Yanjin had just planned.

Zhang Yanjin understood what had happened after hearing what the yamen servant said on the road. There used to be a small village called Danyang Village next to the Dabie Mountain where Nanyang and Xinyang are located. The people in this village moved to other places a few years ago.

Now I don’t know where I heard that Nanyang and Xinyang, which were close to them, made a lot of money by selling tea, so they are jealous, saying that this place is the place where their ancestors lived, and that they built tea trees here. The garden occupied their land and destroyed their feng shui. They wanted Nanyang and Xinyang to give up this place.

When they came to make trouble, it happened that Huang Xiujun and his men were repairing irrigation pipes.

When Huang Xiujun saw someone coming to make trouble, he stepped forward to stop him, but he never thought that he would be hit on the forehead by a stone thrown from the crowd. In addition to the hot weather, he might have some heat stroke. Such a blow made him pass out.

The bright white sun hangs high in the sky, and the heat it emits makes the humid air feel like an invisible fire, rolling and rolling around the crowd, knowing that the hysterical hissing sound is accompanied by the noise from the crowd, all They merged together and turned into endless coaxing sounds.

When Zhang Yanjin came, he faced such a situation.He hurried over just now, and the short shirt on his body was completely soaked, sticking to his back, it was damp and hot, and he couldn't get rid of it.

The residents of Nanyang and Xinyang were arguing with the villagers who claimed to be Danyang Village. Everyone could see that tea tree gardens could make money, so everyone was clamoring endlessly to eat this piece of fat in their mouths.

Looking at these villagers, Zhang Yanjin immediately turned black.

Chen Su lived in Chang'an for a long time, when did he encounter such a situation?I panicked all of a sudden, not knowing what to do.In addition, he just arrived in a hurry and sweated a lot, and now he was still under such a strong sun, he only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and Zhang Yanjin held his arm by the side, and then he stabilized his mind.

"Erlang, what should we do now?" Chen Su licked his thirsty lips, his eyes flickering.

Zhang Yanjin took the water bag from the yamen servant, handed it to Chen Su and said, "What are you panicking about?"

He walked quickly to the edge of the crowd, and saw that several officials in the crowd were still arguing with some people from Danyang Village, their voices were hoarse, and Huang Xiujun, who was knocked out, seemed to be helped to the side to rest .

Zhang Yanjin counted, and there were fifteen or sixteen people from Danyang Village this time.

He turned his head to look at Chen Su and said, "Chen Su, first arrange someone to set up a shed in the shade, help the governor of the house, Shi, to rest in the shade, and then pour him the water boiled with Huoxiang, he must be suffering from heat stroke .”

Zhongzhou has hot flashes, and they have to run outside against the sun in summer, so heat strokes happen from time to time, so they prepare Huoxiang everywhere to prevent people from heat stroke.

"My lord, do you want to go in?" The yamen servant following Zhang Yanjin saw Zhang Yanjin continue to walk into the crowd, and looked at Zhang Yanjin worriedly.

Looking at the still noisy crowd, Zhang Yanjin said very calmly: "Things always have to be resolved, can they still eat me up?"

After finishing speaking, he whispered a few words to the yamen servant.

When the yamen servant heard this, he nodded and ran away in a hurry.

After a while, the yamen servants transferred all the yamen servants who were entangled with the common people around.

Under Zhang Yanjin's arrangement, these yamen servants no longer panicked just now, they went straight forward and brushed aside the troublemakers.

With these yamen servants clearing the way, Zhang Yanjin walked in from outside the crowd smoothly.

He is the master of the Ministry of Industry in charge of the reconstruction of Zhongzhou. If he is flustered and dare not face the common people who are making trouble, then the officials under him will be even more flustered.

However, Zhang Yanjin was a little strange about the forty or so troublemakers from Danyang Village. He didn't know how these forty or so people dared to come here to make trouble. Given the established facts and the fact that there are many more people in Nanyang and Xinyang than the forty or so people, how could they dare to come here to make trouble?Are you really not afraid of officials?

What made Zhang Yanjin even more surprised was that these people dared to throw stones at Huang Xiujun even though they knew that Huang Xiujun was an official of the imperial court. Did they really want to kill him?

Although he couldn't figure out what was going on, Zhang Yanjin still looked around at the people from Danyang Village coldly. He didn't care where these people were bulls, snakes and ghosts who were not afraid of officials, as long as he was the highest-ranking official here, he had to Take control of the situation here.
