After being inspired by Zhang Lu, Zheng Anping was determined to do his best to build a successful career. To show his sincerity, he handed over all his first-year salary and six gold to Zhang Lu, hoping to maximize every dollar.

Zhang Lu, however, packed up the package and threw it aside, saying, "You should visit the head of the village to reassure him."

Zheng Anping wanted to ask again, but Zhang Lu had already turned his head and ignored him. Zheng Anping had to come out, holding the two gold leaves given by Zhang Lu in his arms, and went inside to grow his family.

Sure enough, after offering the gold leaves, the expression on Li Chang's face was exaggerated to the point of being indescribable. After repeatedly expressing his gratitude to Zheng Anping, he said to Zheng Anping: "Lidong Wuwang'er, fifteen years old, is a book club, but has no land.

, only twenty acres. I heard that the young master set up land for the management, and dared to write to the young master’s society, and put the acres under the management, is it okay?”

Zheng Anping said: "The book of Wuwang is in Donghongli, how can I get the book to be in charge of it?"

The headmaster said: "That's why we need the help of the young master. The young master serves as an official, and the rule is to restore the family. When Wu is prosperous and has an independent family, the young master can use it once he returns."

Zheng Anping said: "The fields in Guanyi are all wasteland. It is difficult to open up the wasteland and cultivate the land. It is difficult to do it if the new generation is prosperous."

The head of the house said: "The five sons in his family are all grown up. There are two more daughters. The eldest is married and the second daughter is about to become a child. Although the son is only five prosperous, he has actually returned to his family. In Wumen in the east, the five sons have become young.

My father is still strong and has no ability to farm. His acres are only two hundred, but he can make a living. If the son manages a hundred acres of land, the family will do their best to help him.——The son is now living.

How can one achieve self-reliance in a high position and share the land? It is a great pleasure for the young master to sit back and enjoy the success if all is paid to Wumen! I heard that although the second daughter has just matured, she is also skillful as a female worker, which may be a small complement to the young master! - In short, Pi Wu

If a person is prosperous, he will actually build a Wumen. But if he gets the land, how can he not do his best and let it fall into disuse? The prince must also be careful when allocating the land."

Zheng Anping said: "I live in the countryside, I am always in the army, and I am close to the people in the village. If something happens in the village, I will take care of it. Since the elder is the protector, if I want to be prosperous, I will be a loyal and honest person. I will never deceive him."

The Li Chang said: "Others may not dare to speak, but a man of five prosperous qualities is the most sincere, a man of few words, and capable of exerting himself to death. But if you look at it, you will see that there is nothing wrong with you!"

Zheng Anping said: "You can bring it with you to see if you can! - Five prosperous restorations, what is your wish? If you are not convinced, I am afraid there will be inconvenience."

The head of the village said: "Serving the young master is no better than others. The young master is a man who is well known in the village and is a virtuous gentleman. - Shi Wu and my father have entrusted me with each other, so I dare to speak."

Zheng Anping said: "He Wu and his father love each other so much!"

The chief said: "Since you agree, I will tell you immediately. Or I will worship you as a disciple, but that's not possible!"

Zheng Anping said: "It's an auspicious day, so it's time to bow down. Why are you in such a hurry? Your Majesty will build a house for you, or send it to a distant country..."

The head of the village sighed and said regretfully: "Young Master, why don't you build a house in the middle of the village? Although the city is poor, there is still a vast plain. It would be noble to have the homestead of a senior scholar!"

Zheng Anping said: "When Guan Yi was first established, there were no lawsuits. Building a house there means actually guarding the land."

The headmaster said: "Young Master's residence order is only for a while. He will have to move after a while. When he gets a high-ranking family, he should live in our city."

Zheng Anping said: "We are blessed by the elders here, and we love each other in our hometown. I may be proud of myself, but I dare not forget each other!"

After saying goodbye, Zheng Anping returned home and reported to Zhang Lu the meeting with the head of the village. Zhang Lu said: "Wu Wang is lean in body, but strong in strength, almost as good as the sky. All his sects are farmers, not heroes. But there are some

A little treacherous and cunning can do no harm. When the young master moves to Guanyi, the old ministers cannot accompany him, so he has to take care of the younger son as well."

Zheng Anping talked about the village chief's promise that if one person is restored, a new door will be restored. Zhang Lu said: "There may be help from the village, but don't think about it often. It's not impossible."

Hearing that Zhang Lu also agreed to hire Wu Wang, Zheng Anping felt relieved. He changed the subject again: "Building a house to manage the old capital, sir, you must have something to teach you."

Zhang Lu took out two pieces of gold leaves and said: "We can make friends with Korean merchants, get good iron tools, and make three-handled agricultural tools. Don't delay."

Zheng Anping took the gold leaf, hid it in his arms, and said: "I am a supervisor, how can I work in the fields? Why do I use farm tools?"

Zhang Lu sneered and said: "Guan Ling? There are only a hundred households in the government, and the area is long. How can there be a person who can't manage the land? How can we persuade farmers to work on the fields without doing the work themselves? In one year or even three months,

In the next year, I will personally work hard for Nanmu. Be careful not to blame me for my words."

Zheng Anping suddenly realized: "The teacher's words are correct. A town with a hundred households can't live within ten miles, so how can they live ten miles away? They must live deep in the middle, thinking that it is long."

Zhang Lu said: "If you can understand this principle, you should pay attention to it frequently and rarely return to your home. If you forget your home for the sake of the town, and focus on the southern acres to encourage farmers, in the long run, you will be effective, respected and followed by others."

Zheng Anping said: "I am a supervisor, and I am responsible for plowing and managing the fields. Why don't I be ridiculed by others and be called a fake public servant to enrich myself?"

Zhang Lu said: "You are not alone. All the five sons have to work on the land. There is no delay. There are only four or five farmers in the city. If you add your five families, the farmland will not be more than a thousand acres, which is only one-tenth. The income will go into public funds.

How can others ridicule him?"

Zheng Anping said: "Then what are the plans for your Majesty?"

Zhang Lu said: "To persuade farmers to use their fields and confiscate public funds, how can we make a plan without saying anything?" Then he said naggingly: "If there are iron blades, iron hammers, and iron spades, the results will be greater, the strength will be saved, and the gains will be achieved.

It will definitely increase!... In addition to the allocated fields, there are still hundreds of acres. If there is not enough for one cellar, there is still one cellar."

Zheng Anping said: "To manage a hundred acres of a city is to confiscate public money. What does it have to do with private cellars?"

Zhang Lu said: "When Guan Yi is first built, how can we get public funds? Everyone has his own cellar. If something happens, something will happen, and if nothing happens, he will be in trouble. - Therefore, when building a house, a cellar must be set up."

Zheng Anping said: "Sir, he lives in charge, so he will ask for advice sooner or later!"

Zhang Lu said: "I am old and sick, and it is difficult to see others. Don't disturb Guan Ling! When Guan Ling takes a rest, it will be a blessing to be able to return home for a while."

Zheng Anping said: "The food and clothing in the first year should be used here. The return date will be complicated. Sir, don't be surprised."

Zhang Lu said: "It's a blessing that I, an old minister, can help the young master to expand his territory. I wish I couldn't do it myself."

Zheng Anping said: "What should I do if I have free time?"

Zhang Lu said: "Your halberd has been lost for a long time. It should be restored."

Zheng Anping said: "We divided Brother Ma's armor and got one armor and one soldier. But the weapons of Brother Ma's soldiers are very thin, so it may be difficult to use them. It will cost a lot to melt the copper and recast them. What can I do?"

Zhang Ludao: "What you get is a spear, Goye?"

Zheng Anping said: "It's also a spear."

Zhang Ludao: "For spears, the purpose is to be light. There is no problem in being thin. But for spears, they must be fastened. Although the spear cannot be made of bamboo, and it is difficult to penetrate, it should be made of solid wood."

Zheng Anping said: "Sir, it is easy to talk. How can the so-called solid wood be easy to do?"

Zhang Lu said: "Brother Ma, what kind of wood should I use to build this tree?"

Zheng Anping said: "This is unknown. It is tied with hemp and the wood is not visible."

Zhang Lu said: "Go and get it quickly. Maybe you can pay for it with money."

Zhang Lu reminded Zheng Anping that he could not take care of cooking and hurried to Liangxi Posthouse. The mourning hall was already empty. Brother Ma's long and short halberds were leaning against the beam on one side, covered by the pillars.

Be careful not to see it. When Zheng Anping carried two weapons and ran home, the porridge was already cooked.

Zheng Anping handed the two weapons to Zhang Lu for inspection and went to serve the porridge himself. Zhang Lu looked at it and said: "Although it is not a famous wood, the workmanship is proper and you can do whatever you want... The spear and spear are very thin, how can they be compared with the porridge?"

?How can it be that the craftsmanship of making war is as good as the craftsmanship of weapons?"

Zheng Anping said: "The people who make the pots are carpenters, and the people who make the weapons are the copper workers. Each one is a craftsman and the other is a rough one. It is not strange."

Zhang Lu observed the weapons carefully and said: "There were soldiers in this Tuo, but they were taken off by others, but there are other Tuo. Brother Ma got it and submitted it to his own soldiers. That's why we got it."

Zheng Anping asked: "How do you know this, sir?"

Zhang Lu said impatiently: "There are old traces here, how can I not know!" Zheng Anping went over to take a look, and sure enough, under the sword and spear, there were traces of military service. But the traces were very shallow. If it weren't for Zhang Lu

Reminder, Zheng Anping thought he couldn't see it.

Zhang Lu said: "Anyone who can handle this pot must be a scholar. How can this pot fall into the hands of Brother Ma? Brother Ma, he is a commoner..." Looking down along the pot, he suddenly said: "Brother Ma, has he ever been injured?

?”

Zheng Anping said: "I haven't heard of it."

Zhang Lu said: "There is old blood on the pot. At that time, the blood was flowing like a gush. Although it has been washed and stained, it is difficult to distinguish... This pot is not owned by Brother Ma, but was acquired from a deceased person."

Zheng Anping said: "Is it a gift from the deceased?"

Zhang Lu said: "No. If the dead gave it as a gift, where are the soldiers? Why do they need to be cast to match them? The soldiers were taken by others, but the remaining ones... This must be what the barbarians did. Whenever there is a big war, the loser is often

If the corpse is found in the wild, if it is in the countryside, it should be buried with ceremony. But if it is a savage,

Choose what they can use and store them, and bury their corpses shallowly, so that they are often eaten by beasts. They also take troops and return to them, but use their troops and leave their pawns behind. This must be done by Jia.

The soldiers can be made of copper, but although the workmanship is expensive, the price is difficult to determine. Therefore, it was discarded. Brother Ma got it by chance."

Zheng Anping said: "Would you rather have this? How do you know, sir?"

Zhang Lu said: "In the past, when I sent an envoy to Qi, there were corpses and broken bones on the way. But the soldiers only had a few tacks left, either whole or broken. The natives who consulted me learned what they knew, so they knew it.

If someone comes down again, even his clothes will be stripped off. His naked body will be exposed and cannot be seen."

Zheng Anping took the halberd, looked at it carefully, stood up and waved it twice, and said: "Sir, I have an insight that this tangerine fruit is extraordinary. Sir, just look at this halberd, can you tell me?"

Zhang Lu took the halberd, looked at it, and said, "The oak wood handle is impressive, but the cover is ordinary."

Zheng Anping took a closer look at the two weapons, and found that they were indeed very different. The handle of the handhalberd was not wrapped in silk, and there were no traces of secondary assembly on the handle. It should be original.

Zheng Anping said: "How do you know that Brother Ma is so good?"

Zhang Lu said: "How foolish it is! If it is wrapped with hemp, it is not a good wood. How can it be that the oak wood is bound with hemp again?"

Zheng Anping said: "Anyone who binds the outside with silk will be good inside."

Zhang Ludao: "It's not just about this. There is a bamboo called Jizhu, which uses wood as the core, bamboo as the supplement, wraps thin rattan on the outside, wraps it with fine silk, and then uses lacquer nine to make it into one body. Its function is to be strong.

It is tough, long and light, it is slippery when held in the hand but not slipping off, solid but not astringent, it can be used as you like, it is a solid and good material."

Zheng Anping said: "Is it a bamboo instead of a bamboo?"
