The dispute between the Zhang family and the Zhou family for land spread among the clan members within just a few days. Some were shocked, some were scornful, and some were applauded.
Some people think that the Zhang family and the Zhou family are like raccoon dogs, fighting for fat dogs, and it doesn't matter who wins and who loses. In short, this kind of good thing does not happen to others, so neither family wants to see it.
Some people feel that as relatives of the emperor, it is really unbecoming to fight against each other for profit. This further leads to contempt for the family of relatives of the Ming Dynasty, and the words are strange and full of sourness.
Some people defended the Zhou family, thinking that the emperor went too far in favoring the Zhang brothers. Some people did not think so, thinking that the Zhang brothers had done something to relieve their anger. The Zhou family was greedy, and it was they who first broke the court's regulations and wanted to acquire special privileges.
The Zhang brothers got it first, and the Zhou family deserved it.
In short, the public opinion was agitated and there was no consensus, causing quite a stir.
However, the parties involved in the two parties were very tight-lipped and did not mention the matter, as if they had made an appointment. The winner did not get carried away, and the loser did not seem to be gritting his teeth. This made many people wait to see the more intense fight that followed.
people are a little disappointed.
But in fact, in the hearts of the parties involved, they all understood one thing: the two families were at loggerheads.
Naturally, Zhang Yanling will not forget the fierce and gloomy look cast by the Zhou brothers when they left the Imperial Study Room that day. How could they cast such a look if they were not filled with hatred. Destroying a person's wealth is like killing one's parents. When interests are paramount,
Within the Dai Ming Xun Qi, the feud between himself and the Zhou family has been forged.
Of course, Zhang Yanling was not afraid. The reason for this feud was that the Zhou family started it first. If Zhou Ying had not gone to his manor to beat someone and seriously injured Axiu, the matter would not have reached this level. Moreover,
The Zhou family is fighting fiercely with the outer court, which is actually a big taboo for Xun Qi. Sooner or later, such people will be unreliable. Zhang Yanling has already set rules for himself, do not bully the weak, do not bully his own people, and bully others to the extreme.
Give a ruthless counterattack. This is to practice this rule. The Zhou family was the first to be hit.
One afternoon after the news spread, Zhu Lin came to visit in person. In addition to praising the job, he also brought greetings from Zhang Lun and Xu Yande. The two people thought Zhang Yanling was telling lies.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yanling's clean and neat sword attack made Zhang Lun and Xu Yande both surprised and admired, and at the same time, it made them understand Zhang Yanling deeper.
Zhang Yanling knew that from now on, the three young masters would take back the contempt and contempt in their hearts, would not reveal it easily, and would not take themselves seriously. Everyone admired the strong, and they had despised themselves before.
It felt that the Zhang family relied on nepotism to get to the position, but now they knew that they were not just relying on that. This clean battle should have broken their inherent prejudices and allowed them to see their abilities and methods. From this moment on, mentally,
, they should take themselves seriously.
Of course, Zhang Yanling didn't want to make this matter too public. He still had a lot of things to do, and this incident was just an interlude. The people he would face in the future would be a hundred times more difficult to deal with than the Zhou family, so there was nothing to be complacent about.
Doing the things before you down-to-earth and achieving your goals step by step is the right thing to do.
In addition to sending people to build the manor in Baodi County and teaching the people to eliminate pests, Zhang Yanling focused more on the construction of the dam. Construction started on the eighth day of July, and by the end of July, the construction period had reached a critical juncture. July
On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, the side canal was opened, and the river water was diverted downward. After that, there was a larger-scale excavation and embankment construction operation. The construction army of Xishan Manor worked day and night, and it was really hard work under the scorching sun and heat. Zhang Yanling never returned
When he went to the construction site, he got a report on the project from Ma Quan. On the last day of July, Zhang Yanling decided to go to express condolences in person, and at the same time, he also went to see with his own eyes the progress of the project.
In the morning of that day, Zhang Yanling set off for the Xishan Manor construction site with a car full of condolences.
We arrived at Zhaojiazhuang at noon. Except for children and the elderly, almost everyone in the village was working on the river dam construction site in the east. Zhang Yanling did not delay and decided to go directly to the construction site, so he asked the servant to drive directly. After leaving the village, he led to the construction site.
On the dirt road, Zhang Yanling was delighted to see a familiar figure carrying two large wooden barrels.
"Axiu!" Zhang Yanling rushed forward and greeted loudly.
Axiu turned around and saw Zhang Yanling, her eyes filled with surprise. She put down her burden and wiped her sweat and said with a smile, "My boss? Oops, why are you here?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "What? Can't I come to my garden?"
Axiu said hurriedly: "No, I mean my boss hasn't been here for a long time. My father was talking about my boss yesterday, saying that you must be very busy. The dam is about to be closed, and you haven't come to take a look."
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "It is true that I have been very busy recently due to some things. But I am here, right? I also brought a large car of condolences to the folks. Chicken, duck, fish, meat, rice, noodles and snacks. I will give the folks a good reward."
Axiu said happily: "That's great. My father and fellow villagers will definitely be very happy to see my boss."
Zhang Yanling teased her: "What about you? Are you happy to see me?"
Axiu blushed and said coyly: "Axiu is naturally happy too, let's go. Let's go quickly, dad and the others are waiting."
Axiu picked up two large wooden barrels that were not commensurate with her size and walked forward.
Zhang Yanling asked: "What is in this bucket?"
"It's too hot. It's almost August and it's still so hot. Many people are suffering from heatstroke. Well, my father asked me to make mung bean soup and deliver it to everyone to relieve the heat," Axiu said.
Zhang Yanling saw her petite body carrying two large wooden barrels and felt that she should help her. So she smiled and said: "I will carry it for you."
Axiu smiled and said: "You? Boss, it's not that Axiu looks down on you, I'm afraid you can't bear it."
Zhang Yanling felt slighted, stretched out her hand to grab the pole and said, "I'm here to show you how powerful I am."
Axiu had no choice but to put down the bucket again and handed the pole to Zhang Yanling. Zhang Yanling hooked the bucket with the iron hooks at both ends of the pole, put the pole on his shoulders and stood up with strength. At first, it didn't feel heavy, but he just counted his breaths.
After that, he only felt pain and burning in his shoulders, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his body. He gritted his teeth and took a few steps, staggering as if he was drunk. The mung bean soup in the two large wooden barrels made a clanking sound.
It rippled and splashed a lot.
"Oh, stop it quickly. If you carry it so hard, half of the mung bean soup will be spilled when you get there. Boss, let me do it." A Xiu was both amused and worried, and reached out to hold Zhang Yanling.
Zhang Yanling's face turned red. He was a seven-foot tall man, but he couldn't even carry a load of soup. This was so embarrassing.
Axiu took the pole and carried it up easily and walked forward. Seeing Zhang Yanling's annoyed look, she smiled and comforted: "It's no wonder that my boss has never done heavy work. We have all been working since childhood, which is different from my boss. Besides,
, the boss is not destined to do such heavy work. There is nothing we can do."
What Zhang Yanling was thinking was: I have to train my body well. It’s not enough if you don’t have the strength to tie a chicken. At least you have to have the ability to protect yourself. In addition to practicing your physical fitness, you also have to get good firearms to defend yourself. Otherwise,
If you encounter danger in the future, you will be completely blind.
