Chapter 651: Excuse me, who is this noble person?

Zhang Jumian's face was very sincere, and he sighed and looked at Zhou Heng's eyes and said:

"I just went to see the dog. He was reciting the formulas and some of the test questions for calculation were being done. I took a look and said, it would be really not easy for me to answer these, but you actually summarized the methods and formulas.

This is the weakest thing in Jing Rui. In addition, he also said that you suggested that he practice another font. I have understood the truth all the way. This is something I have neglected before. Thank you for your advice."

Zhou Heng smiled, it would be fine if he could understand it. Zhou Heng didn't say it clearly. This thing is so beautiful that the wood is like the forest wind. You are so easy to recognize your handwriting. Oh, it's not enough for me to have a central hall. How can I let my son compete for food?

Not to mention that someone bribed officials or something, it is possible that you can do something that you can get low scores if you have grudges in your heart. After all, it is not uncommon for literati to fight in the middle of the game.

"It's also my villain's heart that judges a gentleman."

Zhang Jumian waved his hand and quickly followed Zhou Heng into the office. The two of them sat down. Zhang Jumian sighed.

"I didn't go to the exam for Jung Rui three years. Although he was not very good, I always thought that Qiu Jie could still stand out, but I didn't expect that he was not on the list.

When I came back and asked what he answered, I still had doubts. If I don’t say that I would be in the top three, at least it would be fine if I was on the list. At that time, I wondered if it was because of me and I was busy with government affairs later, so I didn’t think much about this.”

Zhou Heng didn't know what to say at this time. It's been three years since then. Could it be that he went to find someone and said that the seal is sealed, and the name is not visible. You have to have a special font. This thing is not a lice on the bald man's head. What's there to say?

"There is half a month left, everything is too late. It doesn't make sense to think more. It's better to wait carefully or not. Maybe the result is not bad."

Zhang Jumian nodded and took out a silver note from his arms.

"I have been thrifting all my life, and most of the money is rewarded by His Majesty. My uncle saved the dog's life. I came here to thank him now. Seeing your teachings to Jing Rui, I want him to learn from you here. Let's talk about my wishes and say that I'm sorry."

Zhou Heng was stunned and rushed forward. This thing was so scary. He could climb to the middle hall. What kind of knowledge is this? What can he teach himself as a teacher?

He just used the one that trained students in later generations, and just one word can make perfect. If he finds various rules, his grades will naturally be better, but if he collects money, it will be different.

"You take back the money from Zhang Zhongtang. I am also very moved by this trust. I am just a rural doctor, three years younger than Mr. Zhang. You are a tragic person. But if you can trust me, you can let Mr. Zhang take care of him here and train with us."

Zhang Jumian nodded, repeatedly pondered the words training in his mouth, and then started laughing.

"Hey, I'm old, I can't keep up with your thinking. The word "training" completely covers all this. It's true that Mr. Zhou has his own uniqueness.

Your Majesty left me alone yesterday and talked about Tongzhou's five-year plan, which really shocked me. Moreover, you can all involve everything from the training of personnel to the introduction of workshops, as well as the assistance of various industries, and finally use one road to run through everything.

I thought about it all overnight and thought it all through. Perhaps what Your Majesty knows is not all. This is your plan tailored for Tongzhou. I have realized the purpose of the word economy. Only by improving the economy and living in peace can the people be stable.

So it's not just a five-year period, but after this, there may be two, three or even ten five-year plans. As for what it can develop in the future, I can't imagine it, because it's really unimaginable.

It is also because of this that I am very excited. I have seen Zhizhou Liu. I was the invigilator when he participated in the imperial examination that year, so I still know his ability. All of this is your push or giving advice."

Zhou Heng smiled. This old man was really cunning, but he was still happy to be able to talk to him in person.

Because once you tell me what the other party is hiding in person, you will either tear your face or show goodwill. Zhang Jumian is showing goodwill now, after all, his son has been handed over.

"I didn't expect that Zhang Zhongtang still remembers Brother Liu. If he told him, he would have been very excited."

Zhou Heng did not continue this topic, and Zhang Jumian smiled. In fact, this was not a test. Seeing Zhou Heng's reaction, he smiled and stood up.

"Okay, I will take the lead. My uncle's North Mountain is really busy. I won't disturb you here. I will send someone to pick up the dog the day before the autumn examination."

Zhou Heng stood up to see Zhang Jumian away, and watched the carriage and horses leave, he was still very moved. Zhu Yunmo came out of nowhere and approached Zhou Heng.

"What does Zhang Zhongtang mean? Do you want to take your son away?"

Zhou Heng shook his head, "On the contrary, I will entrust my son to me and take him back the day before the Qiuyu exam."

Zhu Yunmo was a little surprised and blinked at Zhou Heng.

"Isn't Zhang Jingrui's injury healing? Why do you still have to participate in the autumn examination?"

Zhou Heng glanced at Zhu Yunmo. This guy was actually very smart. It would be impossible to review and take the imperial examination seriously, but he had spoken out early in the morning and would never join in the fun.

"Why should the prince try it too?"

Zhu Yunmo seemed to be stabbed, so he hurriedly hid out horizontally, shook his head and waved his hand.

"I have said that I don't want to discuss this anymore. I am a casual person. Do you really want to become an official? Besides, there are so many things in front of me. I still have to prepare for Lord Liu's marriage. Although it is not convenient for Prince Ning's Mansion to go, I still have to arrange it. I thought to call Uncle Xiao back to help, otherwise I would be afraid of lacking in etiquette."

Zhou Heng raised his eyes. It was obvious that Zhu Yunmo had no idea what Xiao Bo was investigating behind the scenes, but this excuse was really good, and it also made Pang Xiao more comfortable walking in the capital.

"When will the prince contact Xiao Bo?"

Zhu Yunmo blinked, and seemed to think for a while before saying:

"When the imperial edict was not released, I wrote a letter to my father when I learned the news. These must be taken away from the official side. Now it is probably ten days. If Uncle Xiao is fast, he will be here in the next few days. Why are you asking Uncle Xiao for something?"

Zhou Heng quickly shook his head, "I can find anything to ask Xiao Bo. If Xiao Bo comes, at least you don't need to go over to the Ning Palace. The Beishan New Workshop is handed over to Fang Hua, and let Sun Maocai and Zhang Ergou stare at it. You can also make a move to prepare. Brother Liu will also help Xiu'er prepare some."

Zhu Yunmo nodded, "By the way, can Liu Renli's body be successful? Uncle Huang asked the marriage to be completed as soon as possible. It is really hard for him to pretend to be sick and be real and fake. At least it will not affect all matters in Tongzhou."

Zhou Heng smiled, "Actually, he had nothing to do when we left, but for the sake of stability, I would like to ask him to take medicine for a few more days. As long as you prepare, you can do a marriage at any time. Anyway, the palace comes to take care of it."

"Well, I see that it's almost done. In fact, the key to getting Xiao Bo back is the guest. I don't know how to arrange this, and the other one is Wen Shi and the others."

Zhou Heng sighed. This is indeed a place that makes people scratch their heads. Liu Renli knew Zhang Fuling and a few of them in the capital. Zhou Heng didn't know who the guests invited.

"Although it's a marriage gift, I think it's better for people who are familiar with me to send invitations. There are only ones in Beijing, Mr. Zhang Fuling and Ning Yuanhou. By the way, if you want to calculate it, Zhang Jumian Zhang Zhongtang is also familiar with him. Today, I will talk about it that when Liu Renli participated in the imperial examination, Zhang Zhongtang was the chief examiner."

Zhu Yunmo was stunned and suddenly laughed when he blinked.

"I didn't expect that there was still this relationship, so I'll give Zhang Zhongtang a post and let Liu Renli decide the rest. Besides, I thought, the emperor would naturally arrange this matter. Will these princes who know the news sit honestly?"

When Zhou Heng said this, he couldn't help frowning.

"Yes, I forgot this. The third prince must come after knowing the news. As long as the third prince comes, the prince will inevitably attend. In this case, there will probably be many people coming."

Zhu Yunmo waved his hand and looked indifferent.

"Uncle the emperor is just to give Liu Renli a good face. In fact, I think it is the most suitable to do this in Beishan. We can do whatever we want in our territory, eat, drink and play, how good it is!"

Zhou Heng sighed, "Then you wait for news from Xiao Bo. I'll make some arrangements and lend me Pang Qi and Pang Ba. Let's set off today to tell Brother Liu to take it over. Don't guess, let the main master settle everything!"

......

Tongzhou Qiang County.

In front of a huge house, a new carriage stopped. The coachman quickly brought a horse stool, and another person who looked like a small shopkeeper quickly walked closer. The door opened and a fat figure walked down.

The gate of the house opened and two middle-aged men hurriedly came out.

"Is this shopkeeper Zhu from the capital?"

The little shopkeeper nodded slightly, looking calm.

"It's better to go in and talk about it."

The two of them had nervous and joyful expressions on their faces, and they quickly turned sideways to make a request.

Zhu Sanfu pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, coughed and walked inside without much greeting.

When they entered the main hall, everyone sat down, but the little shopkeeper next to Zhu Sanfu did not sit down and kept fanning Zhu Sanfu.

An old man with a crutch stood up tremblingly and nodded at Zhu Sanfu.

"Shopkeeper Zhu is really shining when he comes to the humble house!"

Zhu Sanfu nodded, "You don't have to be polite, the time is fast, let's talk about the serious business directly. The county magistrate of Qiang County has come, and we directly apply for the land deed to save time."

The old man Wei coughed a few times, and was really shocked by Zhu Sanfu's direct words. However, he came from the capital. Although he didn't know which shopkeeper sent it, his temperament was definitely not an ordinary person. He quickly replied:

"Don't worry, the county magistrate has arrived. I'll be resting in the back. I'll invite you here later. These 200 acres of land are not a trivial matter. The old man just has a question to ask Manager Zhu to solve his doubts."

"Speaking!"

Mr. Wei leaned closer, looked at Zhu Sanfu and asked in a low voice:

"I wonder if Manager Zhu can reveal who your boss is from Beijing?"

Zhu Sanfu narrowed his eyes, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, and he slowly stood up.

"It seems that Mr. Wei is not talking about the land for business. We are not talking about the identity of our boss, right? Since that's the case, let's say goodbye!"

As he said that, Zhu Sanfu stood up directly, and even the little shopkeeper quickly put away the folding fan, walked outwards.

When he saw this, Mr. Wei's two sons were anxious. One of them rushed forward to stop Zhu Sanfu and smiled, and the other went straight to Mr. Wei and whispered.

"Dad, my dear, this land is sold at 120 taels per acre. The land sold by Zhang Ju's family next to the spring is only 85 taels, and this person has not bargained at all. He has found a number of copies to negotiate. If we don't buy our house, we will buy someone else's house.

Since Liu Zhizhou, he has been renovated and farmed, and many barren mountains have been reclaimed into fertile fields for planting golden potatoes and corn. We cannot even find tenants. Even the high yield this year is a lot more losses than in previous years. I don’t know how the golden potatoes and corn are sold. Did you watch the cooked ducks fly?"

Mr. Wei sighed and said, his son was right, but the land passed down by his ancestors was released into his hands, and he was really reluctant to let it go.

However, the income of a mu of land is only more than one or two taels. At the current price, it will take a hundred years to recover it. Moreover, the plot he chose is only Nakata.

"Please stay, please stay. The little old man said irresponsible. After all, it was left by his ancestors. The little old man felt so reluctant. He just hoped that the person who bought the land would treat him well."

Zhu Sanfu hummed, retreated and sat down again. The chair made a creaking sound, and waved his hand at the shopkeeper behind him.

"I understand, so I won't say much nonsense. After all, I have to hurry to go to the next house. I will quickly invite the county magistrate and the middle-aged man to come over. How about signing and placing a silver note and a land deed?"

Mr. Wei nodded quickly. After all, he could see that Zhu Sanfu was really busy. The implication was that he did not buy their family’s land in Qiang County. When he heard this, Mr. Wei suddenly stopped worrying and waved his hand to his son.

"Go and invite the county magistrate to come here, don't delay the matter of Manager Zhu."

When the two sons heard this, they went to the back and helped the county magistrate come over. In fact, the land deed had already been prepared and were waiting for the transaction here. At the same time, the master also came and handed the purchase document mark to Zhu Sanfu.

Zhu Sanfu took off his sunglasses, glanced briefly, signed, and waved his hand at the shopkeeper behind him.

"Zhang Gui, the silver bill is paid!"

Zhang Gui came forward and opened a box behind him. Inside were piles of silver notes folded in half. Each pile marked with the county, family, and how many acres.

It seemed that there were many names. After searching for a while, I found Mr. Wei’s name. I took it out and put it away and sent it to Mr. Wei.

"Old Master Wei, please take a look. This is 2,400. If it is correct, we will get all the money!"

Mr. Wei is a rich gentry family, but he was still a little stunned when he saw so much money. His son pushed him from behind and then realized that he reached out to take the silver notes. All of them were silver notes from the Zhengtong Bank of Beijing City, with watermarks clearly.

Several people checked correctly and quickly saluted the county magistrate and handed the land deed directly to Zhu Sanfu.

Zhu Sanfu stood up and said, "Okay, then don't bother me. There are other families to go. The county magistrate can follow us, otherwise you will still have to run back and forth."

The county magistrate said nothing. Mr. Wei symbolically tried to keep him. Zhu Sanfu just waved his hand and got into the car without any politeness.

Standing in front of the door for a long time, the person who went to inquire quickly came back, came to Mr. Wei, and said with a mysterious look on his face:

"Master, this shopkeeper Zhu went to Zhang Juren's house. I heard that Zhang Juren sold all the remaining land and the land in our house, totaling 500 acres!"

Mr. Wei shook his body and poked the ground hard with the crutch in his hand.
