The heavens start from Maoshan

Zhang Heng was very speechless: "I know that you have high ambitions, and your hearts are in harmony with the sky."

"But we are not the same people. I respect you as the forerunners, and I am willing to send you my sincere blessings, but you don't have to pull me in. You can say that I will listen to you. The way is different, and we don't plan for each other."

"And I don't think you can make it happen. From ancient times to the present, only those who hold the barrel of the gun have the right to speak. The barrel of the pen is not good. If you make trouble, you will be able to make a result. The six gentlemen of the [-]s died in vain. "

Zhang Heng said earnestly: "The people who can really change this country are those who hold the barrel of a gun and have big ambitions, big courage, and big patterns."

"It's not you, and it's not me."

"In my opinion, you should go home and have more children and plant trees. This is more effective than protesting against the Communist Party."

More children and more trees?

The two girls looked at Zhang Heng's expression as if they were looking at an idiot.

They are progressive students, doing the greatest thing, how can they be compared to ordinary women who only have children.

It's just that they didn't know that the person in front of them who made them hate him had rented tens of thousands of acres of land under his name to tenant farmers who had no land to farm at a very low price.

At the same time, he is still planning to build a factory. Once the factory is completed in the future, it will directly solve tens of thousands of jobs, indirectly feed 10 people, and stimulate the economic foundation of a county.

Industry prospers the country, empty talk misleads the country.

Do they understand, do not understand.

...not speculative...

The two little girls sat aside and sulked.

Zhang Heng ignored them. The two sides had different beliefs. He didn't think that just a few words could change their minds.

This is not realistic, and there is no right or wrong in belief.

Zhang Heng's ideas may not be suitable for others, and other people's ideas may not be suitable for him.

All the way through, I have no regrets enough.

The afternoon of the third day.

After three days and two nights of driving, we arrived at Tianjing Station.

Since being labelled ignorant and numb, the two girls never spoke to him again.

Just when he thought the silence would last, before getting off the bus, the girl in white approached him: "Master, this is the fare for the two of us, although we are not the same traveler, but I look forward to the time when you wake up. one day."

Without waiting for Zhang Heng to reply, the girl in white put down the money and ran away.

Looking at her back, and the girl in yellow who was walking in front and waving goodbye to this side, Zhang Heng murmured to himself: "Blessings will be born to the infinite heavenly deity, and save all those who think good, good men, good women, so that they will not touch her." Evil results, no evil deeds..."

In the dream, I do not know that I am a guest, and it is difficult to calm down.

If this world were a normal world, maybe he would also devote himself to the battlefield, drinking horses and rivers.

Or, science and technology can rejuvenate the country, and industry can save the country.

Unfortunately, this is not a normal world.

"Your heart is a little chaotic."

"I know..."

Zhang Heng leaned on a bamboo pole and carried a bamboo basket on his back: "You know, I can actually do more. If I don't care about life and death, and do my best, I can even change this era."

"and then?"

"Yeah, and then what?"

Zhang Heng's eyes seemed to reflect mountains and rivers.

Longevity, longevity.

Zhang Heng retracted his gaze, the bamboo pole was beating the floor tiles, and there were words in his mouth.

"The supreme treasure, I wish that all sentient beings will always serve the Heavenly Venerate and be free from samsara forever."

"The supreme treasure of scriptures, one should wish all living beings to hear the righteous Dharma in life after life."

"Supreme Master, I wish all sentient beings to learn the best vehicle and not fall into wrong views..."

noon.

Zhang Heng found an inn, and then went to the telegraph office to send a telegram to his hometown.

The content of the telegram is very simple, only a few words: I have arrived in Tianjing, if you have urgent matters, you can call the Tianjing Telegraph Bureau and pass it to me... Signed: Zhang Heng.

"Little brother, if there is a telegram from Yangjiang County, please give it to me at the inn opposite the door in Zhengyangchun. My name is Zhang Heng. Come, I won't let you run away in vain."

After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he pressed down two oceans.

......

in the afternoon.

"Mr. Zhang, I have your telegram. As soon as it came, I ran all the way to deliver it to you. If you touch it, the ink on it is still dry."

Having money works well.

The guy working in the telegraph office moved forward with a diligent look and a very enthusiastic attitude.

"It's hard work, the duck opposite the door is good, let's try it."

Zhang Heng took the telegram in one hand and handed over three pieces of ocean at the same time.

"You are busy. If there is a telegram later, I will send it to you in a hurry."

The boy nodded and walked away.

After Zhang Heng waited for him to leave, he closed the door and opened the telegram to read.

The telegram was not one, but two.

The first one was sent by Zhang Zhenhu.

In order to save space, the content is written in classical Chinese, which probably means this.

...After Zhang Heng left, I heard that he left Yangjiang and went to other places.

The gentry in Yangjiang were somewhat active.

Why is it so.

Because everything has pros and cons, he bought land for Zhang Heng some time ago, and rented the land at a low price to tenant farmers who had no land to grow. This took care of ordinary people and also caused these gentry to suffer a lot of losses.

Take the simplest example.

Zhang Heng's land is only [-]% of the land rent, and others' land is [-]% or even [-]%.

I had no choice before, only [-]% or [-]% of the rent.

Now that there is Zhang Heng, the tenant farmers also have to say: "Look, why do you need [-]% of the land rent for your land? Master Zhang only needs [-]% of the land, you have to reduce it by [-]%, otherwise I will not rent your land. , I'll rent the land of Master Zhang's house."

One or two said this, the gentry who had thousands of acres of fertile land didn't care.

But everyone said so, and the gentry had to bow his head, but he dared not let these tenant farmers run away.

As a result, most of the current land leases in Jiangyang County are around [-]%, which is [-]% or [-]% less than before.

This is one less land rent, and one more benefit for the common people. The less is the loss of the landlords.

When Zhang Heng was there, no one dared to say anything more.

Now that Zhang Heng is not there, one by one is thinking about it. I will not gong or fight with you in front of you.

I'm not going to sell grain to your Zhang family's grain store, right?

As a result, the grain in the grain store began to be in a hurry, and the price of grain rose. In the end, the landlord lost [-]% of the land rent, and it was impossible to make up for the rising grain price.

Of course, there is no right or wrong.

The umbrella seller asks for rain, and the fan seller asks for sunny days.

Who are they wrong?

No one is right, just in different positions.

Zhang Heng knew that this day would come, but rather than mingling with the gentry and oppressing the common people, he would rather stand on the side of the common people and feed a few more people.

It's really hard to get enough food these days.

Chapter 53: Don't blame the patriarch for being cruel

"Zhang Zhenhu personally inspired."

"There is no doubt that some people have miscalculated the form and thought we would compromise with them."

"I think it is necessary for these people to understand that fate is in our hands, not them, and this wrong thinking must not take root in their minds."

"I don't know the situation in Yangjiang at the moment, but I am willing to give you the right to play by ear. I believe you will handle this matter well and not let me down... Zhang Hengliu."

Look at the writing on the paper.

Zhang Heng took a deep breath.

He has always been clear that Zhang Zhenhu is a radical in his heart and does anything by any means.

There is a fierce tiger hidden deep in his heart. Similarly, if he is not such a person, he will not be the head of the business, the future master of Baoping Mountain, which is why Zhang Heng reuses him.

So he knew very well what Zhang Zhenhu, who received this telegram, would do.

He will feel supported and recognized.

Zhang Zhenhu is a person who believes in solving problems by force. With this kind of support and recognition, he will do more radical than he expected.

He would lead troops into the gentry's homes, smash open their granaries, and buy their grain at extremely low prices.

Even when necessary, he would kill chickens to warn the monkeys, letting people know that the Zhang family is not easy to mess with, let alone mess with them.

And this is exactly what Zhang Heng wanted to do, but couldn't do.

There is also a reason for this.

With the gradual development of the militia, the armed forces have grown stronger day by day.

Zhang Heng is now surrounded by two factions, one is the civil service faction, headed by Zhang Zhentian, responsible for logistics operations and asset management.

The other faction was Zhang Zhenhu, the military attachés holding guns.

Zhang Zhenhu went to the county town when he was a teenager, and he broke into the sky in the county town. He is a role model for many young people in the Zhang family.

Later, Zhang Heng put him in charge of the militia group, which enhanced his prestige to a certain extent.

Today, with the militia group as the backbone, it has evolved into a group, a second group, and a third group.

But the core is still the old militia group, so invisibly, Zhang Zhenhu's momentum is even stronger.

Although Zhang Heng knew that Zhang Zhenhu was very loyal to him, there were some things that he had to guard against.

Let Zhang Zhenhu deal with these gentry and be this wicked man, just to cut off some of the thoughts he might have in the future that he shouldn't have.

People without thought, he must worry about.

Zhang Heng believes in the saying that only seven points are given to others, and three points are reserved for himself.

He will never completely, 100% trust a person.

So it's not just brothers Zhang Zhenhu, Zhang Zhentian, Zhang Dandan, Zhang Muzhi, Dakui, Xiaokui, he also has his own back-up arrangements.

However, Zhang Zhenhu was the first to be restrained.

"Huzi, in fact, I know that you want to be the brigade commander, in charge of three regiments, not the head of one regiment."

"I also know that you don't look down on the little Quina child, thinking that he is not qualified enough to be the head of the third regiment, and is on an equal footing with you."

"Actually, I know everything, but I can't satisfy you!"

"It's easy to share joys and sorrows, but it's hard to share wealth and honor. I let you do everything well, but I actually harm you and kill you."

"On the contrary, it's like this, you should do things, and you should take the blame, so that you can share weal and woe with me like a tumbler. I hope you can understand this truth, otherwise..."

Zhang Heng said in a low voice, "There will be such a day, don't blame the patriarch for being cruel, you must know that I am the entire future of the Zhang family."

After talking, Zhang Heng picked up the second telegram.

The second telegram was sent by Zhang Zhentian. There was nothing important on it, it was all trivial matters.

For example, in the account settlement the day before yesterday, there were seven yuan of ocean expenses that I didn't know where it went. A group of people figured it out for a long time before they found out that the calculation was wrong.
