Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 99 Wubao Stone City
As for the magistrates of the two places, Zhang Zongxian decided to have a talk first to see if the two were interested.Anyway, the officials below have already done it.

If the two don't know what to do, let the officials below lift them up.If you still know the rules.Zhang Zongxian will give them 5000 taels of pension money every year.They are also allowed to invest in woolen workshops.

Now that the Zao Li has been dealt with, there is no need to wait any longer.Zhang Zongxian decided to take office three days later, that is, on April [-]th.

On the day of departure, Boren led the cavalry escort, and Zhang Zongxian brought all the disciples with him. After all, there is Wubao County between the government and Qingjian County.Being in Changsheng Fort all the time is not conducive to managing the overall situation.

Fort Changsheng will be used as the production base of the distillery and the storage place of Taiping in the future.Firstly, the winery also needs to expand production, and secondly, it is also very suitable as a material warehouse where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Wool workshop Zhang Zongxian plans to open workshops in the other three counties.Firstly, it is to expand production, and secondly, it is also a bridge for cooperation with local people.

Anyway, the processing of wool and incoming aid are in the hands of Zhang Zongxian.

It takes about 500 miles to go to Jiazhou.Zhang Zongxian brought more than [-] disciples and his family members. He prepared [-] carts alone, and the disciples rode away on horseback.

In order to get to the prefecture as soon as possible, everyone got up before dawn and started to prepare for departure.At this time, Liang Chen reported that a large number of people gathered outside the fort, as if they were here to see Zhang Zongxian off.

When Zhang Zongxian heard the people seeing him off, he hurried to the gate of the fort, and when he got on the wall of the fort, he saw a crowd of people outside the fort.

Seeing Zhang Zongxian appearing on the wall of the fort, the people under the gate of the fort shouted loudly:

"Master, don't go."

"Please don't go, sir."

"Master Qingtian is not here."

The common people are really reluctant to leave Zhang Zongxian, it is rare that such a good official will leave within a year after taking office.They were afraid that after Zhang Zongxian left, the officials who came would make Qingjian County return to what it was before.

Finally, there is hope for life, and I no longer go hungry, and those who have strong laborers at home can go to various construction sites to subsidize their families.For the first time in the Chinese New Year, I also ate a meal of meat.

Relatives in other counties are envious of Qingjian County. Having such parents and officials not only prevents corruption, but also really reduces the burden on the people.

When they heard that Zhang Zongxian was going to take office in other places, they all ran to Changsheng Fort to see Zhang Zongxian off, like Liu Jiangtou, Old Man Wang, and Diao Sanyi even came to see him off early.

The gathered people flocked to the fort gate more and more, making it impossible for the prepared convoy to set off.

Zhang Zongxian first secretly wiped away his tears.Then he said to the people under the castle:
"How can I, Zhang Zongxian, He De, let you people love you so much!" After speaking, he bowed his hands to the people under the fort.Then he walked down the fort wall and walked out of the gate to meet the people who came to see him off.

Zhang Zongxian walked up to the people and shook hands with them one by one.Although the people didn't understand what he meant, they all rushed to shake hands with Zhang Zongxian.

During the period, an old farmer held Zhang Zongxian's hand and refused to let go, crying and saying:

"Master, who will take care of us after you leave? Is it going to change back to what it was before?"

Zhang Zongxian cleared his throat and said to the old farmer:

Although it is difficult to give up.But the emperor's life is difficult.Fortunately, Qingjian County was also placed under the control of Jiazhou.

Don't worry, since this Qingjian County is under the administration of the government, the rules of the government will not change. If there is a powerful oppressing the people, the officials will take it by hand.This officer will also deal with him and give you an explanation.

After listening to the old farmer, he let go of his hand.

At this time, Liu Jiangtou and Lao Wangtou brought the Wanmin umbrella to Zhang Zongxian.

"This Wanmin umbrella was given to the master by the people of Qingjian County. It is also the love and admiration of the people for the master."

Looking at the Wanmin Umbrella in front of him, Zhang Zongxian was filled with emotion.He just did a few things, and the people loved him so much, which made him full of emotion.Secretly vowed to lead the people through this little ice age.

Zhang Zongxian took the Wanmin umbrella and put it on the first car of the convoy. In order to start as soon as possible, Zhang Zongxian could only open the way himself, shaking hands with the people all the way and leading the convoy northward.

On the road, people kept coming to see them off. Qian Tongzhi, who went to take office with Zhang Zongxian, was also full of emotions. When he became the de facto county magistrate of Qingjian County, it would be nice not to scold him when the people loved him for more than ten years. that's it.

Just shake hands all the way until the whole convoy has walked ten miles.Zhang Zongxian's hands were swollen from being held by the farmer.I can't lift my arms either.Hurry back to the carriage to rest.

I didn't come down to rest until I reached the post station.

Although the disciples usually practice horse riding, they have never ridden for such a long time.They are also exhausted one by one.

Zhang Zongxian was very dissatisfied with the performance of the disciples, and secretly decided to strengthen the military training of the disciples in the future.

The next day is still early departure, today's plan is to arrive in Wubao County before dark.

It was almost dark when we arrived in Wubao County.

The county magistrate of Wubao County brought the local gentry and had been waiting all afternoon.The moment they saw the convoy, everyone left and cheered. Finally, there was no need to wait. The weather in spring is not warm!
Zhang Zongxian took the lead and went to the front to accept the welcome of Wubao county magistrate.

Before coming here, Qian Tongzhi told Zhang Zongxian about the life of Wubao county magistrate.

This Wubao county magistrate, surnamed Fan, is Fan Weirong. He is nearly fifty years old. He has worked in Wubao for two years. After another year, he will have to go to another place.

After working for so many years, he is still a county magistrate, which shows that this person has no background.But in this poor and miserable place where the people are not easy to mess with, the county magistrate has a background.

This magistrate is still from Jiangsu, and he wants to be transferred back to the south.

When County Magistrate Fan saw Zhang Zongxian approaching on horseback, he trotted forward and offered to help Zhang Zongxian hold the horse.Let Zhang Zongxian dismount conveniently.

Zhang Zongxian couldn't fix it in one fell swoop.Although it's upper and lower levels, it's too much.

After Zhang Zongxian dismounted, Nazhi County saluted Zhang Zongxian immediately.

"Fan Weirong, the county magistrate of Wubao County, my subordinate, pays homage to Master Zhizhou."

Zhang Zongxian looked the county magistrate up and down, not knowing what he wanted to do, it was too much face for the public.

Then the Fanzhi County immediately began to introduce the local gentry in Wubao to Zhang Zongxian, and also specifically introduced Li Yuanwai, a large local mining and coal mining family.He supplied the coal in Qingjian County.

Then, led by Fan Zhixian, he entered the famous Wubao Stone City.

Wubao Stone City is built on the mountain, with 4 gates in the east, west, south and north, "Wentao" in the east, "Chongxun" in the south, "Mingxi" in the west, and "Wangze" in the north. It is constructed of bluestone and has arched openings.The natural danger of the Yellow River, easy to defend but difficult to attack, is known as "Bronze Wu Fort".

Fan Zhi County first took Zhang Zongxian and Qian Tongzhi to climb the tower to watch the Yellow River under the afterglow of the setting sun.He told everyone about the history of Wubao.I wanted to make Zhang Zongxian feel and post a poem or word or something, but I didn't expect Zhang Zongxian to look at it and say something
"What a steep place! It would be great if there were a few more bridges on the Yellow River."

Fanzhi County didn't know what Zhang Zongxian meant. There were only a few pontoon bridges on the Yellow River, and they were still on the middle and lower reaches.
