Chapter 255

Zhang Shuli didn't pay attention to Bao Zheng. Although Bao Zheng was a senior official, he was in charge of Duan inkstone and was in charge of it. On weekdays, he also reported to Bao Zheng about Duan inkstone. Qi Yu had no communication at all.

When Bao Zheng first came here, it was not easy for him to understand many things about Duanzhou government. So he didn't care about Duanyan, so he didn't take charge of Zhang Shuli.

But digging a well is a matter of people's livelihood as well as Bao Zheng's black Shamao. Bao Zheng was short of people. Of course, the first thing he thought about was the hundreds of inkstone workers under Zhang Shuli. They were all strong men. Of course, they were the most suitable.

But Zhang Shuli, who was younger than himself, yelled at himself when he came in. He didn't even have the basic courtesy.

Bao Zheng's narrow eyes narrowed and looked at Zhang Shuli without saying a word.

It has to be said that although Bao Zheng was not a big official, his dark face sank and his dark eyes narrowed coldly, which was quite frightening.

Zhang Shuli was surprised that he might not be right again. Then he straightened out his official uniform and threw his hand at Bao Zheng

Bao Zheng nodded.

Zhang Shu Li arched his hand at Zhang Zhubo. Then he caught a glimpse of Qin Yan beside him. He snorted in his nose, "Oh, young master Qin is also here!"

He tone disdain, Qin Yan but don't think it, smile at Zhang scribe bow hand, "see Zhang adult!"

"It's said that young master Qin has come to the Yamen recently. People who don't know think that young master Qin has settled down in the Yamen?"

This suggests that Qin Yan does not keep his duty!

Qin Yan straightened his sleeve and said with a smile, "I don't know who Mr. Zhang listened to these rumors?"

With a word, he bypassed the topic, but Zhang Shuli, who asked rhetorically, could not speak.

Zhang Shuli angrily threw away his sleeve and said to Bao Zheng, "my Lord, there is a difference between the officials and the people. Don't put the people around you so as not to damage your reputation!"

Bao Zheng knew what he meant, but he said with a smile, "I asked Mr. Qin to come and solve the plague. Mr. Zhang doesn't have to worry about it!"

It is clear that Bao Zheng is protecting Qin Yan, and Zhang Shuli is not easy to say. He can only return to the point, "my Lord, the task of Gongyan is very tight now. I really don't have enough people in my hand. My Lord wants to have a hundred people in his mouth. This is really a tough job!"

Bao Zheng said in a deep voice, "there are still more than a month to go about Gongyan. However, the current plague is imminent. Which one is more important? Should Mr. Zhang know?"

"But I heard that some people told adults that they had to dig a well to deploy their manpower. If they didn't dig a well, why didn't they deploy their manpower?"

"If we don't dig a well, we can't eradicate the plague!"

"You can dig slowly if you don't have enough hands. Why do you have to transfer my people?"

"Food is the most important thing for the people, and water is the source of life. This kind of thing can't be slow for a day!"

"But you have to have a hundred people in one mouth. That's too much!"

Qin Yan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "one hundred people are the least, and they are also the Yamen servants in the government. Duanzhou city is so big, there are seven wells, and there are only ten people in each. Mr. Zhang, you have been saying that there are not enough inkstones. Xiaomin still wants to ask for advice. How many inkstone workers are there every day, how many stones are mined, and how many tribute inkstones are produced?"

Qin Yan's unprecedented sentence is a topic that everyone in Duanzhou knows, but it's hard to say. It's that the output and the account book are not matched all the time. What's the reason?

Of course, Zhang Shuli was the most clear.

At the moment, Zhang Shu Li, like stepping on his tail, pointed at Qin Yan in a fierce voice, "you, what do you mean by that?"

Qin Yan didn't look at Zhang Shuli. He said lightly, "Xiaomin just thinks that the plague has already alarmed the imperial court. As the saying goes, people can carry a boat or capsize it. If drinking water really leads to the recurrence of the plague or the riot of the people, I'm afraid that few people can solve it at that time."

Although Qin Yan's words were a threat, he had to say that they were reasonable. Bao Zheng was responsible for the trouble, but the people below were also involved!

Hearing this, Zhang Shuli said, "but Mr. Bao has too many people!"

Bao Zheng frowned, "I'm afraid a hundred people are not enough. I'm afraid we have to add a hundred people!"

"Two hundred! Is Mr. Bao joking? "

Mr. Zhang answered in a timely manner, "Mr. Zhang doesn't know. Because it's forbidden to drink the water from the stream, it's urgent to dig a well. Today, some people went to the yamen gate to have a fight. Mr. Bao agreed to finish the work in one day, so he needed to send more people!"

Hearing the speech, Zhang Shuli sneered at Bao Zheng, "my Lord, it's true. Without the diamond, why do you take the porcelain work?"

To his sarcasm, Bao Zheng said nothing but, "Mr. Zhang, is there something wrong with this inkstone worker?"

"Yes!" Zhang Shuli was not polite. "Two hundred people, how much progress should we make? Do you know? If the blame comes down, who will bear the responsibility? "

He thought that these words could suppress Bao Zheng, but he didn't want Bao Zheng to drink in a deep voice, "then it's up to Bao Zheng alone!"

Having said all these words, what else could Zhang Shuli say? He said, "since Lord Bao has said this, I'm relieved, but I'm afraid 200 people..."Bao Zheng had no patience, "just say how much you can give?"

Zhang Shu Li put up three fingers!

"Thirty

With Bao Zheng's dark complexion, Zhang Shuli sighed, "Lord Bao doesn't know. Inkstones have been in the water for a long time, and they are not in good health. Many of them are now recovering from the disease. Moreover, the plague has made many inkstone workers sick, and the officials can't help them. These 30 people are already the limit..."

"Well, thirty will be thirty! Ask them to come at once

Zhang Shu Li arched his hand, "good!"

Bao Zheng turned to Qin Yan and said, "Mr. Qin, can you go with me?"

Qin Yan nodded, "at your command."

Seeing that Bao Zheng and Qin Yan left, Zhang Shuli stroked his beard, and the master came up with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, 30 people, it's a fable to finish in one day. If we don't dig a well, we can't eradicate the plague. At that time, the blame will come down. I think it's time for Bao Heizi to go home!"

Zhang Shuli sneered, "hum, it's too much to fight with me!"

……

After Qin Yan and Bao Zheng arrived, the 30 absentees also arrived and began to dig wells.

Bao Zheng looked at it and worried, "Lord Bao, just these people, I'm afraid they can't finish it in one day!"

Bao Zheng sighed, "since this is the case, do your best to listen to the destiny of heaven."

"I'm just worried that it won't work. I'll be punished by the imperial court!"

"As an official, the people are the best, the monarch is the middle, and himself is the next. Bao Zheng can only do his best."

Qin Yan listened and looked at the Duanzhou magistrate in front of him. His face was as black as ink, but he was determined to serve the people.

He always felt that if he was honest and upright, he still had his own thoughts in his heart, but in front of him, he didn't have any privacy at all.

Qin Yan's face was deep and solemn. He took a respectful look, stepped back two steps, carefully adjusted his clothes and bowed to Bao Zheng.

"Qin Yan, thank you for Duanzhou people!"
