Chapter 104: Provide people, money and food
The Hu brothers sat speechless for a while.
Zhenhaiwei and the others were also dumbfounded.
Grandpa Zhang reminded from the side:
"Zhang Luo, it's not difficult to clean the rocks."
"But there are too many gravels in the river."
"Wei Li came to see Zhao Dianshi from the county last year."
"He said there are many iron ores in the upper reaches of the river."
"The sand and gravel in the river will never be cleared away in a lifetime."
Hu Shi also said:
"Grandpa Zhang is right."
"The sand and gravel in the river are brought by the iron ore upstream."
"Even if all of us from Dongshan Village come."
"It's also very difficult to complete."
Zhang Luo understands.
Controlling river sand in rivers is difficult.
No one believes that he is normal.
Flood control has been a top priority since ancient times.
Zhang Luo also stood up from his chair.
Said to everyone:
"Twenty people come from Dongshan Village, and forty people come from Zhenhai Guard."
"Then we can clean up your mountain roads."
"And river sand can also be controlled."
"Let neither of us suffer anymore from nature."
Hu Zhuang opened his eyes wide and asked:
"Zhang Luo, do you really have any idea?"
Zhang Luo nodded and said:
"The river is not too wide."
"You can use the flushing method."
"Solving the river sand problem."
"Of course your Dongshan Village still has to provide food and money."
The Hu brothers looked at each other.
Still a little unbelievable.
If ordinary people say it can clear the road.
It can also cure river sand.
Solve a century-old problem.
The Hu brothers had already kicked him.
But these words came from Zhang Luo's mouth.
The Hu brothers hesitated.
Zhang Luo is a scholar after all.
Worked as a scholar in the Ming Dynasty.
It’s not just about being able to take the imperial examination and become an official.
Manage a land and water.
Its influence in folk villages is not small either.
Some are famous.
But I chose to stay in my hometown.
Those who have not entered the official position will be promoted.
They run schools in their hometown.
It also has considerable influence.
There are only two detectives in Dongshan Village.
You can do evil things near the village.
Even the military garrison was ignored.
Although Zhang Luo has not yet become a student member.
But he also gained some fame in the county.
Under the simultaneous care of the prefect and county magistrate.
He was also the apprentice of County Xue Kang Jiaoyu.
Although Kang Jiaoyu has no grade.
But at least he was born in Juren.
An official position such as academic officer.
There aren't many in the county.
Grandpa Zhang looked at Zhang Luo and said:
"Zhang Luo, are you really planning to do this?"
This river in Zhenhaiwei and Dongshan Village.
It is long but not wide, and there are many mines in the upper reaches.
When it rains heavily in summer.
The river will overflow.
The terrain of Dongshan Village is lower than that of Zhenhaiwei.
As soon as the river water comes up.
They all flooded up to Dongshan Village.
A large amount of river sand washed ashore.
Not only did it block the road in Dongshan Village.
A lot of crops in the village were flooded.
If the rain were heavier.
No matter how high the terrain of Zhenhaiwei is, it will still be flooded.
There were heavy rains in Jinjiang last summer.
The water in the river overflowed into Zhenhaiwei.
Dozens of acres of land were flooded.
Grandpa Zhang has long planned to repair the lower river channel.
But Zhenhaiwei was in terrible decline.
I can't get any money out of it at all.
I want to clean up the river sand.
Not only does it require money, it also requires a lot of manpower.
Everyone has to farm to support their families.
There are simply not many people willing to do it.
Hu Zhuang said:
"I'm afraid that the flushing method you mentioned won't work very well."
"I asked the people at the factory in the county before."
"Don't close the mines upstream."
"Dongshan Village is flooded every summer."
Dongshan Village because of its location.
Bi Zhenhaiwei wants to solve the river sand problem even more.
After all, they really couldn't leave the village because of this incident.
Hu Shi also thought for a while.
"We have to provide both people and money."
"It's useless for both of us to talk."
"We have to go back to the village to discuss it with the village."
"Only can I give you results."
Zhang Luo said casually:
"That's okay. Anyway, it's you who are in trouble now."
"When did you agree?"
"You can take the road to the county."
Hu Zhuang looked gloomy.
Zhang Luo now threatens him in turn.
I saw Hu Zhuang cupping his hands and saying:
"We'll go back to the village right now."
"The results will be given to you within a few days."
After the Hu brothers left one after another.
Zhang Changwei asked from the side:
"Brother Zhang Luo, you asked them to find someone else."
"I also need to give you food and money."
"Will they say yes?"
Zhang Luo waved his hand:
"They are the ones who are anxious now."
"They are no different from savages who cannot leave the village."
"I will definitely agree."
It was just as Zhang Luo expected.
That afternoon, Hu Zhuang came back with his head lowered.
Promise Zhang Luo to send twenty people from Dongshan Village.
Provide food rations during road clearing and river management.
and two hundred taels of silver.
But Zhang Luo was only given three months.
If it's not done in three months.
Zhenhaiwei must allow people from Dongshan Village to use the road unconditionally.
Hu Zhuang lowered his head with a dark face.
On behalf of Dongshan Village, he pressed his fingerprint on the receipt.
This is the first time for Dongshan Village.
Such a big loss.
Zhang Luo pressed fingerprints on behalf of Zhenhaiwei.
Wait for Zhang Luo to prepare for a few days.
Let’s start by cleaning up the village road.
about this matter.
Zhang Luo was not in a hurry.
The two brothers in Dongshan Village have always been domineering.
Let them go for two days first.
Zhang Luo still reads and attends classes every day.
At night.
Only then did we begin to pay attention to the preparations for clearing roads and regulating rivers.
Zhang Changwei brought one hundred taels of silver with him.
Early the next morning, we were escorted by soldiers.
Then I went to Fuzhou to pay the money.
The money is handed over to the general manager.
The people inside asked them to keep the money first.
Return to Zhenhaiwei and wait for news.
According to the news Zhang Luo has received in the past few days.
Basically, thousands of households make good money.
There will be no big problem.
Zhang Shengxuan also received news from the county town.
Quanzhou Wei Xu family was targeted by the censor.
He was fined several hundred thousand taels of silver.
During the preparation of fortifications.
Zhang Luo took advantage of a day without rain.
I rode a pony to Quanzhou Wei Firearms Factory.
Zheng Baihu heard that Zheng Luo needed gunpowder.
Said there were no problems.
Give as much as you want.
He also gave Zhang Luo the addresses of several stores selling materials.
It should be that the Xu family was fined heavily.
Lost a lot of money.
I'm in a hurry for money now.
The price given by Zheng Baihu was only half of the usual price.
Zhang Luo was extremely happy.
I even feel that Xu Shouye is really a "good friend".
I made another fortune from the Xu family.
The firearms room in Weili can finally be opened.
Zhang Luo gave it a try.
Use your firearm skills.
Add enough raw materials.
Gunpowder in the firearms room is basically self-sufficient.
I have been busy in the firearms room for several days.
Zhang Luo raised his firearms skill to level four.
Gunpowder is solved here.
What remains is the lead bullet problem.
He asked Zheng Baihu.
There are no lead-producing places here in Quanzhou.
Only medical clinics and red rooms contain a small amount of lead.
Need to buy enough lead.
You can only go to Fuzhou City to see it.
Zhang Luo himself planned to visit the ghost market again.
But the ghost market is because of Japanese pirates.
The door never opened.
If you really can't get lead.
I can only meet Grandpa Zhang face to face.
Send some people to Fuzhou City to purchase goods.
Then a few days before the clearing work.
Zhang Luo stayed on the school grounds.
