Chapter 27
Zhang Jun returned to the door and ordered a bowl of noodles in the shop next to him. He put a few more pieces of meat on it and sat at the door and ate it.
Pan Sanniang came out of it and said, "What are you like? Go home after dinner, how can you sit at the door to have a meal!"
Zhang Jun didn't raise his head: "Why should I care what others think? I feel so comfortable, I'm just like that."
Pan Sanniang sighed, stopped talking, and stood at the door watching pedestrians on the street.
When he first arrived in Ruzhou, Zhang Jun was afraid that the army would not pay much money, so he thought that he would rent a house on the street so that he could do business in the future. He didn't expect that Wang Xiaoli's salary was really generous, so he lost the intention. However, the house on the street was convenient for Pan Sanniang, and he came out to see the scenery from time to time.
After standing for a while, Pan Sanniang said, "There are many good men in your army. I see that Niu Gao, who has just joined the army, is very majestic and handsome. Has he married at home?"
Zhang Jun said: "Master Niu is a man of many age, so of course he has already married. Mom, you are very old, please calm down."
Pan Sanniang said, "What did you say! Isn't it lonely if I am this age? As a son, you don't think about your mother."
Zhang Jun said: "My father was just kidnapped by the Jin army. In a few years, he might come back. At that time, the family was reunited and we still lived a harmonious life. What else do you have? Now you have food and drink, and even your spare money is not missing!"
Pan Sanniang glanced at her son fiercely, ignored him, but just looked at the pedestrians passing by on the street.
After eating noodles, Zhang Jun said: "In a few days, the magistrate will need to practice in the army. This exercise is different. It is not on the school ground, but to go to other places. I am in the army and I want to leave Ruzhou for some time. You are at home and don't cause any more trouble."
Pan Sanniang was about to refute, but suddenly remembered the way Zhang Jun killed someone in Caizhou that day, and couldn't help but have a cold war. This son was really cruel, but he could do anything.
Seeing that his mother didn't say anything, Zhang Jun returned the bowl to the shop next to him and went back to the room to sleep. At night, he said goodbye to his mother and went to Chunfeng Tower alone. Several generals in the army made an appointment to drink here.
When they arrived at the second floor pavilion, they met Yu Huan who had arrived first, and Zhang Jun sat down.
Soon, the others arrived one after another, and the servant came to drink and drink.
Xie Linong said: "This restaurant is no longer owned by the Yang Shen family. I heard that it is now in the government. I hired a supervisor Li. I heard that he opened a restaurant in Zhengzhou and the family escaped here. Like us, this supervisor Li is paid."
Cao Zhiyan said: "Since you are getting money every month, I don't know if this new supervisor will do his best."
Xie Linong said: "Who knows? Now the restaurant has only a lot of dishes, but the price has not changed. Over the course of a year, if Qingfeng Building did not make money like before, I don't know what would happen to the magistrate."
"What can it be done?" Zhang Jun smiled. "Since you get money every month, it's not your own business. How can you do your best? As long as you don't lose money, who can do anything to the supervisor? If I ask me, if you pay more money, it's much better to be a supervisor than to do your own business."
Yu Huan nodded after hearing this: "It's right. The magistrate is thinking a little badly. If you want to charge more money, just increase the tax. Why should you take the restaurant into the hands of the government? If it's not your own business, who will do your best?"
When Niu Gao heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head: "How do you think this way? If you don't have your own business, you won't do it well? As long as the money paid by the government is conscientious, you will still do it well."
After hearing this, Zhang Jun couldn't help but laugh: "It's your own business, you should do your best. This is a natural truth. It's not your own business. If you make a lot of money, you will return to the government. It's naturally a different way. This is the case with the law of nature, so what's the matter to argue about!"
Xie Linong said: "I think the little shepherd thinks a lot of things well, but it's too difficult to do. Just like us, we have a good salary, but we are not allowed to do business at home. Now the army is short of money everywhere, and we are not asking for trouble."
Zhang Jun said: "In fact, it's more difficult to do. In my opinion, most things about Xiaosheren cannot be done. Officials have power in their hands, but they cannot exchange power for money. What is the use of this official? Now that we start from now on, we naturally listen to Xiaosheren. As time goes by, how can this rule continue? Someone will inevitably make money by borrowing power. Even if the little sheren is full of eyes, they can't see it."
The few nodded together, and didn't say anything.
Zhang Jun said: "In my opinion, many of the things Xiaosheren does now are all thinking too well, but they are just thinking about it. It is because Xiaosheren is young, has not experienced the difficulties of the world, and is too hasty."
Shao Ling, who had been silent, shook his head: "I don't think so. You see, the few times you have seen, the little sheriff talks with us, and they are all serious. Judging from his appearance, they don't know what they are going to do is difficult."
"So what?" Zhang Jun smiled and shook his head repeatedly, looking very confident. "The things the little shepherd is doing now are very good, but they cannot do it. But he believes that who can do it himself? He said that officials are not allowed to do business at home, and sell their own land first, and they are not allowed to hire slaves. We can only do it. But how can such things last for a long time?"
Shao Ling said: "Why can't it last long?"
Zhang Jun said: "Now it is just a state, with few officials under his command, so the little housekeepers can watch it. If the place is bigger and there are more officials, how can you keep an eye on it so tightly? As long as one person starts, these rules will gradually be broken."
After hearing this, several people nodded. Why did Wang Xiaolie firmly believe that he could do it? Zhang Jun said it was not possible, and everyone couldn't understand. However, Zhang Jun is a smart person. Since joining the army, there is nothing he can't learn. What he said should not be wrong. Moreover, Zhang Jun was deeply trusted by Wang Xiaolie. After several months, he had not fought a battle, and by just learning well, his status was almost the same as everyone else.
After three rounds of drinking, Shao Ling said: "For this drill, the little clerk asked us to make plans and discuss them first. After reporting them, he will decide. I can't figure out what is the best plan and discuss? Is there any way to marching and fighting?"
Xie Linong said: "There are always many rules for how to send troops and how to march. Teacher Lin taught us for several months. The little sergeant may have to take the exam. There is no need to worry too much, just hand over our writing style."
After hearing this, Zhang Jun shook his head. He looked at everyone looking at him and said, "You have thought too much, or in other words, they have thought less."
"What do you mean?" Several people couldn't help but look at Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun said: "You said that you thought too much, because you thought Xiaosheren wanted to take the exam. Xiaosheren was struggling to learn by himself, so how could he take the exam? If you thought too little, you didn't understand what Xiaosheren really meant."
Yu Huan said: "We don't understand, do you understand?"
Zhang Jun looked at Yu Huan and smiled without saying a word.
Shao Ling said: "Brothers, you can say it if you have something. If we have something wrong, you can also forgive us."
Zhang Jun nodded: "You are right, brothers, don't worry about anything. In this drill, Xiaosheren has two purposes. One is to test whether the things you have learned over the past few months are useful. Another is to teach Teacher Lin to talk about it on paper. In reality, it still needs to be tested to know. How to test it, Xiaosheren may not have any idea."
Cao Zhiyan said: "How come Xiaosheren has no idea? As far as I say, you underestimate Xiaosheren!"
Zhang Jun shook his head repeatedly after hearing this: "It's not that I underestimated Xiaosheren, but because I don't know how to do it myself. I don't know, Xiaosheren can think clearly, I'm afraid--"
Speaking of this, Zhang Jun attracted a glass of wine and kept silent.
Several people understood, but it was hard to say it. During these days, Zhang Jun was the best person he learned, and Wang Xiaolie could not compare. Since Zhang Jun didn’t know, how could Wang Xiaolie know?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Juncai said, "One person is short-sighted, two are the best-sighted. Let you think of a plan and discuss it carefully, and you must use the strength of everyone to do the things as well as possible. Do you understand? If you do this well, you will naturally have to pay attention to it."
