Chapter 256

When the sun sets, the tired birds return to their nests.

But Qin inkstone did not return.

When Hua Ni came with her food box, the inkstone worker lifted her arm and stood at work. She turned her eyes around and saw Qin Yan and Mr. Bao together.

A light thin shirt, gentle and elegant, a black and blue Confucian shirt, calm and introverted, two people stand together, are talking about what, most of them are Bao Zheng again, Qin Yan is listening.

The young man lowered his eyebrows, looked respectful, and his modest attitude set off the whole person's clear wind and clear moon, as warm as water.

A stranger is like a jade.

That's about it!

Hua Ni looks at it and smiles unconsciously. She only looks at Qin Yan from a distance. For a while, she doesn't want to disturb him, waiting for him to find herself.

Look at, but hear a clamor.

several inkstone workers did not know how to quarrel with Zhang Long, and the other inkstones were not working, and they were all looking at the fun with shovel.

"Why do you all sit down? Get up Zhang long is angry.

There is an inkstone worker sitting on the ground motionless, pointing to the setting sun, "brother Zhang, you see, the sun has gone down, work also has to have a limit, we are also people, to rest!"

"But haven't you just had a rest?"

Another inkstone worker who was sitting patted his stomach and complained, "brother Zhang, we can't just rest. We still have to eat. If people don't eat, they can't work hard."

"That's right. People are iron and rice is steel. We have to eat too!"

"Yes, yes!"

When Zhang long looked at these people, he felt angry. Originally, according to the normal schedule, 30 people could dig a well at least one day, but now, with 30 people, the well did not even have half the schedule. However, these people are inkstone workers, and they are directly under Zhang Shuli. They are temporarily seconded. Naturally, these people do not accept the management. Although Zhang long is dissatisfied, he can only keep his temper“ Mr. Bao has already prepared meals for you. You can eat naturally after you finish your work! "

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused all complaints.

"Brother Zhang, when can we finish all this work?"

"That is, we have to dig seven wells. Now we haven't finished digging one well. Let alone one day, we can't finish it in ten days?"

"That's right. We can't finish without food, drink and sleep! Are you going to kill us? "

"No, no, no!"

one, another person followed the result. Thirty inkstones threw the shovel hoe in their hands, or sat or lay down, all of them picking up the pick.

Zhang Long said angrily, "well, what are you doing? Get up. What's the matter with sitting? "

But Zhang Long broke his throat, and no one paid any attention to him. They all stayed there, but they didn't move.

"What's the matter?"

Zhang long looked back and saw that Bao Zheng was coming. Looking at the inkstone worker, he said helplessly, "my Lord, they all..."

Zhang long wants to say something but stops. When he says a lot, he goes back and doesn't want to complain like a woman.

Bao Zheng sighed, "don't say it, I know!"

The inkstone workers saw that Bao Zheng was coming. Some timid people immediately got up, took tools and pretended to work, but some bold people just stayed there and those timid people didn't move.

The so-called "law neglects the masses" is just like this. After all, there are so many people. Even if Bao Zheng wanted to punish them, he would not have done so many things.

Looking at these inkstone workers, Bao Zheng was really tired, sweaty and hard-working, so he asked, "Bao Zheng knows that digging wells is really hard. Please understand it for the people of Duanzhou. Here, Bao Zheng, thank you!"

Bao Zheng bowed deeply. There were so many inkstone workers here. They were younger than Bao Zheng. Moreover, Bao Zheng was also an official. How could he afford such a big ceremony? Now they all stood up and looked respectful.

After all, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang were all cruel and corrupt officials. How could they pay attention to these inkstone workers? However, Bao Zheng, a prefect, was so approachable. His heart was full of flesh. Naturally, they wanted to give Bao Zheng face.

Dozens of inkstone workers have stood up, but you look at me, I look at you, but do not move.

Seeing that they were embarrassed, Bao Zheng asked, "you guys, what's the secret?"

Everyone is you look at me and I look at you. The inkstone worker who just contradicted Zhang Long said, "my Lord, it's not that we don't want to do it, it's just that we really can't finish it!"

When he said this, others nodded their heads.

"Even if we don't eat, drink or sleep, we can't finish it."

"My Lord, you can see that one well has not been dug, let alone seven wells!"

"Yes, yes, my Lord, you'd better send more people here!"

Bao Zheng looked at the crowd in embarrassment. In fact, they could understand their psychology.

If the goal is right in front of you, these people will be able to lift their arms and do it immediately. But the goal is too far away, so far away that you can't even reach the horizon, so that you can't even achieve the most basic goal. This is human psychology.They want to have more people, but they can understand it, but --

"don't embarrass me. I don't think I don't need people. I've tried my best, but..." No one will cooperate!

Qin Yan could not help saying a fair word for Bao Zheng, but the difficulty of Bao Zheng was certainly not understood by several inkstone workers.

Bao Zheng looked at the crowd and sighed, "Zhang long, get ready for dinner!"

Zhang Long arched his hand.

……

Qin Yan looked at the inkstone worker lying on the ground, waist to legs not to come, in the heart is also anxious, can not help but say, "my Lord, if today a well can not come out, I'm afraid tomorrow someone will go to the Yamen to make trouble, and certainly someone will go to use Duanxi water, then the epidemic will be serious again!"

Bao Zheng nodded, his face heavy and silent.

Just worried, two people came. They were Zhang Shuli and Zhang Zhubo. Qin Yan's eyebrows jumped. He only felt that they were coming at this time. It was absolutely not a good thing.

Sure enough, the two of them rushed to see Bao Zheng. The master said hypocritically, "my Lord, I come here to see if there is anything I can share with you."

Zhang Zhubo sings white face, Zhang Shuli sings red face, "Mr. Bao, inkstone worker is also a person, please don't be too tired. If inkstone worker has something, I really can't bear the responsibility!"

Qin Yan was calm and restrained, but at the moment, the two of them sneer at jokes. They are also angry and sneer, "you two are eloquent. It's a pity not to tell stories!"

Stabbed Zhang Zhubo impatient, "what do you say you..."

But Zhang Shuli grabbed Zhang's book and hinted that he didn't have to worry about it. Then he swept a circle of inkstone workers and said anxiously, "my Lord, I'm afraid I can't finish the work even after dark. What can I do?"

What a hypocrisy!

"Lord Bao!"

All of a sudden, a clear female voice rang out. At a glance, it was Hua Ni.

Qin yanrou eyebrows, naturally pulled her, "how come?"

Hua Ni smiles, salutes several adults, and then says with a smile, "you and Bao are working hard for Duanzhou. Although Hua Ni is a woman, of course I have to do my part for Duanzhou."

Hua Ni, glancing at Zhang Zhubo and Zhang Shuli, said, "it's not like some people, they just talk about it!"

"What a smart person, but you are only one person. What can you do?"

Zhang Shuli looked at Hua Ni with disdainful eyes and snorted coldly.

Hua Ni was asked a delay, however, to show off the benefits of words is easy, but in front of these things, but not to say can be.

She sad look to Qin Yan, Qin Yan pinch her hand, two people are worried.

"Even if you two can..."

"Who said she had only one person, and we!"

"Yes, there are us!"
