Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Ma Yuangui looked at him in disbelief, "Zhang Shaoyin, what did you just say?"

Du Yan and Changsun Wuji also frowned, not understanding why Zhang Dun said that.

Zhang Dun smiled and said: "I said, this is a good thing."

"Where's the good?"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but said: "You have spent a lot of time doing this in order to provide the victims with a chance to make money."

"Now someone is making trouble, stealing food from the victims. After working for a long time, the victims don't get a penny, and the money goes into other people's pockets. Are you still applauding?"

"Don't be in a hurry."

Zhang Dun waved his hand, looked at Ma Yuangui and asked, "Boss Ma, how much did we spend today?"

"It took a total of... um..."

Ma Yuangui thought for a while, his face was a little weird, he raised a finger, and said, "Ten pennies."

Ten pennies?

Everyone couldn't help being stunned, it wasn't that the money was spent too much, but that it was too little.

The usual money is one thousand Wen.

Ten guanqian is [-] Wenqian.

In other words, a total of [-] bamboos were harvested.

According to what they thought, at the end of the day, they would have to spend at least a hundred guan.

Unexpectedly, there were only ten pennies.

Is ten pennies much?

Poor!

Normally, when a disaster occurs in a certain place, the amount of money needed for a day of disaster relief is hundreds of guan.

But today, only ten pennies were paid!

Lu Zizang said with a sad face, "But the disaster victims didn't get a penny."

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "I didn't intend to let the victims make money by cutting down bamboo."

Standing on the wooden platform in the market, he noticed that Chen Ran and a dozen gentry had also come.

He believes that these people will definitely hinder it.

Sure enough, the opportunity to make money provided to the victims this time was snatched by them.

This was all within Zhang Dun's expectation.

What those people didn't expect was that they had no plan at all to make money for the victims through this incident.

The important thing is that he wants to collect bamboo.

So it doesn't matter whether it is provided by the victims or others.

In short, collecting a lot of bamboo with the least amount of money is his goal.

Now, the goal has been achieved!

Thirty thousand bamboos a day, that's a lot!

Your own plan is almost ready to start!

Zhang Dun looked at Manager Ma solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "Director Ma, help me find twenty or thirty capable people."

Ma Yuangui didn't ask much, just nodded and said, "I'm going to prepare now!"

After Ma Yuangui left, Zhang Dun looked at Hu Guang again, and said solemnly:

"Brother Hu, I will ask Director Ma to send some people to be your guards. You go outside the city and find some people you like among the victims."

Hu Guang asked: "Is there a requirement for the number of people?"

"The more people, the better!"

Zhang Dun took a look at the sky outside, and it would be dark soon, "You go to someone now, there are government soldiers protecting you, and it's fine when it gets dark."

"If you find someone, you can just bring them here."

Hu Guangzhong nodded emphatically, "Understood!"

----

"Brother Zhang, this is the person I found!"

About two hours later.

It was completely dark, and lights were lit inside and outside the Grand Chief's mansion.

Zhang Dun sat in the lobby of the government office, with his head bowed and a rabbit pen in his hand, making statistics on paper.

At this time, Hu Guang came in panting, and said loudly.

Zhang Dun raised his head and saw him standing in the yard outside the government hall with many victims.

He stood up, handed him a water glass and said with a smile: "Thank you."

Hu Guang waved his hand, took the water glass and drank it down, exhaled, pointed to the victims in the yard and said, "I only found more than 200 people, I don't know if it's enough."

"enough."

Zhang Dun nodded with a smile, then walked out of the government office lobby with his hands behind his back, looking at the disaster victims standing in the yard.

Every victim has a look of panic on his face.

"Don't be afraid."

Zhang Dun looked at them kindly with a smile, and said seriously: "From today onwards, I will teach you some things by hand."

"I've learned it. You can rely on it to eat and drink for the rest of your life. Do you want to learn it?"

Hearing this, the victims' eyes widened a little.

Everyone said loudly without hesitation: "Yes!"

Zhang Dun nodded with a smile, then looked at Ma Yuangui, and said, "Boss Ma, ask someone to bring some food to them, and then do things after eating and drinking, it will get twice the result with half the effort!"

and food?The victims' eyes lit up immediately.

Ma Yuangui nodded solemnly, "Okay!"

After the victims were full, Zhang Dun took them to the place full of bamboo.

Before he could start speaking, he suddenly felt footsteps behind him. Zhang Dun looked back and saw Changsun Wuji and Du Yan following him. He couldn't help being startled, "What are you doing?"

Du Yan and Changsun Wuji said in unison: "We also want to learn."

"You're not afraid of dropping the price."

Zhang Dun looked at them dumbfounded, he thought it was false if he wanted to imitate, but it was true if he wanted to say something, he shook his head and said:

"Du Gong, Changsun Shangshu, it's not that I don't want you to learn, it's because there are more important things that need your help."

After speaking, he looked at Cheng Yaojin again, and waved: "Chenggong, you come here too, don't be idle."

"How can I help?"

Cheng Yaojin asked curiously, although he was confused, he still walked over.

"Help me find out which counties and counties are not affected by the disaster that are close to Hedong Road."

Zhang Dun said in an unhurried tone: "When these counties and counties are counted, Cheng Gong will have to make a trip to send the things over."

Cheng Yaojin became even more curious, "What?"

"this."

Zhang Dun smiled and pointed at the bamboo.

Immediately, in the astonishment of everyone, Zhang Dun picked up a piece of bamboo, and then cut it with the knife he found in the chief executive's mansion.

After a quarter of an hour.

A bamboo stool appeared in front of everyone.

Zhang Dun did not stop, but continued to make bamboo tools.

Compared with the bamboo stools, the bamboo utensils he made next are more sophisticated and cost more time and money.

After half an hour.

Bamboo tools appeared in the courtyard one by one.

"This is a bamboo chair, this is a bamboo bed, this is a bamboo basket, and this is a bamboo hanger..."

Du Yan, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, and others were dumbfounded.

Why are Zhang Shaoyin's hands so long!

They didn't even understand, one after another bamboo tools were manufactured from his hands.

Changsun Wuji was the first to come back to his senses, frowned and looked at the bamboo tools, and said in a hesitant tone, "Zhang Shaoyin, are you planning to sell these things?"

"Not bad!"

Zhang Dun sat down with a bamboo chair and said with a smile.

Changsun Wuji imitated him and sat down on the bamboo stool, feeling surprisingly good, stroked his beard and said with emotion: "The old man can feel your pulse now."

Du Yan stood aside, feeling suddenly enlightened, and the smile on his face became a bit thicker.

Chapter 261 Please Call Hu Guang "Hu Dashan"

Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes, pointed to the two hundred or so victims standing not far away, and said:

"No wonder you just said that the victims did not make money from cutting down bamboo. Not only is it not a bad thing, but a good thing."

"It doesn't matter who brought the bamboo to the Grand Chief's Mansion. What matters is that the bamboo energy is continuously sent here."

"Someone took food from the victims, which means that many people in Jinyang County also ran to collect bamboo."

"That's why you said it was a good thing."

Changsun Wuji paused, and continued: "Next, you will provide the method of making bamboo utensils, so that the victims brought by Store Hu can work?"

"Eldest grandson Shangshu sees fire like a cave!"

Zhang Dun nodded again with a smile, and then added: "Actually, what I want is to let all the disaster victims do it together."

"But I can't teach them how to make bamboo tools by myself."

Du Yan said with a smile on his face: "So, you asked Hudian to find these more than 200 disaster victims, first teach them how to make bamboo tools, and then let them teach other disaster victims?"

"Yes." Zhang Dun nodded and said, "In this way, the victims in the entire Jinyang County should be able to learn it in a short time."

Changsun Wuji tsk-tsk said: "You boy, how did you grow your brain!"

"With the bamboo, there are people who make bamboo tools. When we find out that there are no counties and counties around the river that have been affected by the disaster, these manufactured things can be sold to those places."

He stood up and picked up the bamboo stool, put it in his hand, looked it over carefully, and said with a hum: "It's a good thing, better than the wooden stool. If it's sold out, someone will take it."

Zhang Dun asked with a smile: "Do you think it can be done?"

Changsun Wuji said without hesitation: "Yes!"

Du Yan also nodded.

As for Ma Yuangui, Lu Zizang, and Hu Guang, they have no objections.

Zhang Dun stood up and said, "Okay, let's go to the market tomorrow and let the victims work!"

"Boss Ma, Lu Changshi, I have to work hard on the rest of you."

Hearing this, Manager Ma said cheerfully: "No problem!"

Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang knew that Zhang Dun wanted them to spread the news without him having to say it out loud!

----

In the early morning of the next day, the sound of the morning bell resounded, and after the city gate was opened, the victims of the disaster filed in, heading towards the market with excited expressions.

Early in the morning, before dawn, they heard the news.
