Chapter 58 The disk is wrapped and bright
Interpersonal relationships are like a net. As long as you weave it with your heart, everything will always be knotted in one place.
Wang is deeply aware of this at this moment. For example, before he came to Zezhou this time, he came with a letter from Zhang Zai. Moreover, when he went to Jincheng County, the county magistrate knew that he still had to go out to greet him.
"Haha, if there is no (If there is no character on the side of the king), how can I have time to come?" The county magistrate of Jincheng County smiled and patted the king's arm and pulled him into the county government.
This person is very familiar with Wang Bian. He used to be more familiar with him before and now he is more familiar with him. This person is Zhang Zai's nephew, but he and Zhang Zai at the same time as Cheng Hao (Zi Bo Chun). Moreover, the brothers Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao are still staying in Wang Anshi's house for a while.
"I'm here to come and see Brother Bo Chun." Wang Bian said and stepped into the county government. Cheng Hao led the king into the hall next to the lobby. Here, it was to entertain familiar friends. The two sat down next to the king and took out the letter entrusted by Zhang Zai.
Cheng Hao looked at the letter and said with a smile, "The reason of benevolence and filial piety is here, and no one has reached this after Mencius"
Wang listened to Cheng Hao's meaning, which was not an antics. He nodded and said, "This time I went to Danzhou to see Lord Zhang, and the county still insists on doing learning, which is really respectable."
Cheng Hao pointed to the letter and said to Wang: "Uncle's Ximing is only 500 words, but it shows his heart"
"Ximing?" The king had some doubts. Seeing that he was puzzled, Cheng Hao handed the letter to Wang and said, "Look at this. This is not a family letter, but an uncle's article."
Wang took a look: It is an article that starts from the book of heaven and man, takes benevolence and filial piety as the core, and expounds Zhang Zai's basic philosophical concepts and political ethics.
Cheng Hao explained that this was an inscription written by his uncle Zhang Zai on the west window when he was lecturing in Hengqu Town. So it's called Xi Ming.
The two of them talked and laughed for a while, and Wang said with a straight look, "There is one more thing to bother you this time. Please help me."
Seeing that Wang said so seriously, Cheng Hao said, "If there is no virtuous brother, just say it, as long as I, Bo Chun, can do it."
The king smiled. In fact, it's not a big deal. I just want to buy your land.
Cheng Hao was relieved when he heard this: "Well, what's the big deal for me? What's wrong with this? Is it to ask your brother to help with the local tax?"
Wang waving his hand: "No, no, you don't know the land buying and selling system."
Cheng Hao said, "It's not a problem to buy and sell. Since Taizong, land sales are still free. As long as you pay taxes according to the regulations, I don't know which land you like if there are no brothers?"
Wang took out the picture drawn by Yin Shijie and Yu Danian and showed it to Cheng Hao: "As far as I know, this is a land without a head, but after all, I dare not confirm it, so please come to Bo Chun to have a look."
Cheng Hao said, "If there is no brother, you are really prepared."
After saying that, Cheng Hao summoned the master and asked the master to go to the household register to check the ownership of the land and whether there was a lawsuit. The two chatted while drinking tea. The master came back and reported that this place was indeed a land without a master. This place is at the foot of the Unknown Mountain. In the early years, the villagers were scared to move away because of the frequent beasts going down the mountain.
Cheng Hao looked at the side of the king,
Wang Bian felt that it didn't matter. "Since it's a ownerless wasteland, let's set a price, and I have to trouble the master to help with some formalities, land deeds or something."
Cheng Hao asked the master, "What is the buying and selling price of wasteland in the county now?"
The master turned around and looked at it for a long time. He knew that this was a friend of the county magistrate. Anyway, it was a wasteland, so he said, "There are few good fields in our county, and an average of 80 copper coins per mu in the county is 80 yuan, and the wasteland is worthless."
Wang said, so how does the master calculate the price here?
The master said, "I think this land is basically barren. Why don't you calculate it at half price?"
Cheng Hao felt that it was inappropriate and said, "I don't think it's appropriate. If there is no brother, I have an idea. Do you think it's okay?"
Wang side doesn't know whether Cheng Hao said whether the price is high or low, but the price is not higher than 80 cents. Just talk about it
Cheng Hao said that this mountain county needs to hire people to take care of the forest. Two or three people are hired, and the county spends more than a dozen per month. Since there is no virtuous brother who wants this land, it's better to do this. I'll give you 60 yuan to build this mountain.
Wang said that it was about half price, but Cheng Hao said, "This tax is indispensable. There are also conditions for the mountain. You have to send someone to guard the mountain forest. If there is a mountain fire that burns the trees, you can plant a new book, and don't let the mountain be desolate."
Wang didn't expect this condition. Cheng Hao smiled awkwardly: "This little money is nothing to my brother. However, every month, the county has to show some things about Lin, which is also saved. This province is enough to set up a school house next year, and it's good to learn from Zhang Zai's uncle to educate the villagers."
Wang was very moved by this. He knew that this money may not be less than land, but it is definitely not a loss to have mountains to plant trees and mine. He said, "If this matter is not sure to be supported, I will donate another 100 yuan to the half-study house in the county, and Brother Bo Chun can start immediately.
Cheng Hao was overjoyed and immediately arranged for the master to do the land deed and other things.
When he came out of the county government office, Wang Bian rushed back to the mansion with the land deed, and saw that He Liwa followed him without saying a word. Wang asked what was wrong with Brother He.
He Li Bo said, "How can you say that you can almost hold on to the capital? Fortunately, there are still dozens of taels," Xin said, which is enough for me for a year.
Wang said with a wry smile, "Look, as long as you can stick to it." He Liba looked at him and curled his lips helplessly. Who knew what tricks he had.
When he returned to the store, he saw Yin Shijie waiting there. Wang asked, "How much coal is left in the village now?"
Yin Shijie said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? It's basically clear this month. There is no ton of coal, only cinders left"
Wang looked at him and asked, "How much is the cinder?"
Yin Shijie thought for a moment: "Cinders are all the bottom slag left over from last year. It is estimated that each family can make up two or three pieces. Usually, the larger coals are sold, and only some slag is left. The cinders can still be used, but they can't be sold."
Wang listened to him say this and thought of the coal regiment of the store, so he asked him, "If you do all do what I said and get these two or three coals ready, I will give you three, but there is only one. You must do it according to mine, otherwise you won't be paid."
Yin Shijie was very happy to hear it, but Wang also said, "In the future, this place will listen to me, but every time I collect a camel coal, I will give you two extra copper coins if it meets my requirements. Another thing is that if you sell the coal here to other merchants, it will be a small matter to deduct the payment.
Yin Shijie hurriedly said, "What did you say? Don't say that you are kind to us, but we in Jincheng are very trustworthy on weekdays." The king believed this. Although the first Jin merchants were not only about Jincheng people, Shanxi people did not say anything about credit. Second, even if the people of the Song Dynasty had official power and strategy, they all valued one letter. You can play a conspiracy, but most of them don't go against their promise.
Wang asked Yin Shijie to go back to do it immediately. He asked Yin Shijie to press half of the cinder and half of the soil, add a few wood chips of the dry branches, and make a coal ball, and the dry branches wanted the branches of the spice tree.
Yin Shijie listened and went back to do it. He found Yu Danian. The two of them formed a large coal regiment and took them back to the mansion a day later.
The king asked them to put the coal ball into the stove. This is good. There is a faint fragrance in the room. And this coal regiment can especially withstand the burning. He thought that some of the things he remembered in his mind were really used. But he doesn't want to sell coal.
He said to Yin and Yu, "I still tell you that I will collect all the coal here in the future, but there is one thing. If you let me know that you will tell others not to say that I don't pay my money, I may have to file a lawsuit." The two of them hurriedly said, "No, no"
The king looked at the coal in the stove and said, "This thing will be called Xiangbing in the future"
Wang turned around and said pleasantly, "I have already bought that place and will come back next spring. Do you two want to stay at home or go back to the capital with me?
The two of them were overjoyed when they heard it. They were just shocked. Wang was not very old, but it seemed that he was a big official all the way. Even the handover was his idea. What's more, they had personally experienced the experience in Yanzhou County Government. Who dared not listen to him.
Of course, Yin Shijie and Yu Da Nian were willing to go back to the capital with Wang. Wang said, "In this case, you go back and prepare, and each of you will give you five taels of silver. Now it's almost the Spring Festival to place some things for the Spring Festival. In addition, make the remaining cinders and buy a weigh. There is no need to save coal and more soil. Then make a cake with half a catty, which should be made finely of the same size"
The two of them nodded like a chicken, and Wang Bian then asked, "How many men in the village are willing to dig coal with me?"
Yu Danian said, "It doesn't count that the two of us have eight."
said, "Well, that's them. You won't start work before the beginning of spring. In the future, you will be dry and flooded and conservative. Tell them that each person's monthly work is also five. Regardless of the drought and waterlogging.
After saying that, he looked at He Li Bo and said that the eldest brother was taking twenty-six taels of silver. He Li Bo was thinking about the silver, and the fare to go back seemed to be really suspenseful. Thinking of handing over the silver to them, he said that the remaining sixteen taels were also given to the eight heads as a New Year's reward. Yin Shijie said, how can this work? We haven't done anything yet.
Wang side smiled and said, "I said, let you make a lot of money in the future." These two are both happy and strange. Does the man have a lot of money? If you don't start work for a month, the fee alone will be a hundred taels of silver.
He Liwan suddenly remembered one thing and said, "What if the hole is dug down and it collapses?" Yu Danian said, "Even if we dig by ourselves, we will save people when we come out. If we can't save them, we are also cheap. If you are afraid of us blackmailing, we are willing to sign the deed"
Wang side frowned and suddenly found that he had become a coal boss, but is there any other way out for the poor people?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Yin Shijie, you can prepare the contract and give it to me later. In addition, if I don't come back next spring, you can organize to plant my fields and collect my mountains and forests. All the income is your own. When will I come back and when will I start work again? Otherwise, I won't pay"
Wang's arrangement has his own idea. He has never seen the ancients dig coal, but there must be safety hazards. At least he knows more than the ancients, and he tries his best to do what he can do.
The two of them went back to organize the villagers to make contracts and make fragrant cakes. Wang Zong thought that he could return to the capital after the fragrant cakes were ready in a day or two, and he was also excited.
That night, He Li Bo told Wang that there were only a few pieces of silver left. Wang asked with a smile, "Is it enough to reach the capital?" If it's not enough, why don't you go back and get it?
He Libo glanced at him and went out to pick up the coal ball in his clothes. When he came back, he said to the king, "Brother, I seem to have seen a person, who is very familiar and seems to be a girl under the moon." Wang Zong immediately jumped up from ** as soon as he heard it. Where is it?
