Zhang Jun returned to the door and ordered a bowl of noodles from the store next to him. Put a few more pieces of meat on it and sit at the door and eat it.
Pan Sanniang came out and said, "What are you like? You go home to eat. How can you sit at the door to eat!"
Zhang Jun didn't even raise his head: "Why should I care what others think? It feels so comfortable, and that's how I feel."
Pan Sanniang sighed, stopped talking, and stood at the door looking at the people on the street.
When he first arrived in Ruzhou, Zhang Jun was afraid that the army would not be able to send out much money, so he thought about renting a house on the street so that he could do business in the future. Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaolie's salary was really generous, so he gave up the idea. However, the house on the street is convenient for Pan Sanniang, who can come out to see the scenery from time to time.
After standing for a while, Pan Sanniang said: "There are many good men in your army. I see that Niu Gao, who has just joined the army, is very strong and looks like a good man. Is he already married at home?"
Zhang Jun said: "Commander Niu is many years old, and of course he has already married a wife. Mom, you are very old, so please take it easy."
Pan Sanniang said: "What are you talking about! At my age, am I not alone? As a son, you don't think about your mother."
Zhang Jun said: "My father was just kidnapped by the Jin army. In a few years, he might come back. At that time, the family was reunited, and we were still living with He Meimei. What do you have by yourself? Now you have food, drink, and even spare money. Nothing is missing from you!”
Pan Sanniang gave her son a hard look and ignored him, just looking at the people walking on the street.
After eating the noodles, Zhang Jun said: "In a few days, Zhizhou will ask the army to conduct drills. This drill is different. It is not on the school field, but to other places. I am in the army and have to leave Ruzhou for a few days. You are at home. , don’t cause any more trouble.”
Pan Sanniang was about to retort when she suddenly remembered Zhang Jun killing people in Caizhou that day and couldn't help but shudder. This son is really cruel, but he can do anything.
Seeing that his mother didn't speak, Zhang Jun returned the bowl to the nearby shop and went back to his room to sleep. In the evening, I said goodbye to my mother and went to Chunfeng Tower alone. Several generals in the army met here to drink.
Arriving at the pavilion on the second floor, Zhang Jun met Yu Huan, who arrived first, and sat down.
Not long after, other people arrived one after another, and the waiter served wine and food.
Xie Linong said: "This restaurant no longer belongs to the Yang Shen family. I heard that it now belongs to the government. I hired a manager Li. I heard that he opened a restaurant in Zhengzhou and his family fled here. Like us, this manager Li is paid. of."
Cao Zhiyan said: "Since the money is paid every month, I don't know if the new manager will work hard."
Xie Li Nong said: "Who knows? There are just more dishes in the restaurant now, but the prices have not changed. Year after year, if Qingfeng Restaurant is not as profitable as before, I don't know what will happen to Zhizhou."
"What can we do?" Zhang Jun smiled. "Since you are getting paid every month, this is not your own business, so how can you do your best? As long as you don't lose money, who can do anything to be a supervisor? Let me tell you, with a lot of money, being a supervisor is much better than running your own business. .”
Yu Huan nodded after hearing this: "That's right. Zhizhou's thinking is a bit wrong. If you want to charge more money, you only need to increase taxes. Why should the restaurant be handed over to the government? If it is not your own business, who will do their best?"
After hearing this, Niu Gao couldn't help but shook his head: "Why do you think so? If it's not your own business, you won't be able to do it well? As long as the government pays for it with good conscience, you will still do it well."
After hearing this, Zhang Jun couldn't help but laugh: "You should do your best for your own affairs. This is a matter of course. It is not your own business. If you make more money and return it to the government, it will be different. This is the law of heaven. What is there to argue about this matter? of!"
Xie Linong said: "I think the people in Xiaoshe have many good ideas, but it is too difficult to do. Just like us, we have generous salaries, but we are not allowed to do business at home. Now that the military is short of money, we are not asking for trouble."
Zhang Jundao: "Actually, it's not just that it's difficult to do. In my opinion, most of the things that Xiaosheren does can't be done. Officials have power, but they can't exchange power for money. What's the use of being an official? Now that I'm starting, Naturally, we all listen to the words of Xiaoshe people. As time goes by, how can this rule continue? There must be someone who borrows power to make a fortune. Xiaoshe people can't see it even if they are covered with eyes."
Several people nodded together without saying a word.
Zhang Jundao: "In my opinion, many of the things Xiaoshe people are doing now are too well thought out, but that's just a thought. I think it's because Xiaoshe people are young and have not experienced the hardships of the world, so they are too hasty."
Shao Ling, who had been silent all this time, shook his head: "I don't think so. Look at the few times Xiao Sheren has talked to us, and his words are serious and thoughtful. From the look on his face, he doesn't know that what he has to do is difficult."
"So what if you know?" Zhang Jun smiled and shook his head repeatedly, looking extremely confident. "What Xiao Sheren is doing now is all very good to think about, but he can't do it. But he believes it himself. Who can do it? He just said that the officials' families are not allowed to do business. He sold his own land first, and then he didn't allow it. We have no choice but to hire slaves. But how can this kind of thing go on for a long time?"
Shao Ling said: "Why can't it last forever?"
Zhang Jun said: "Now it is just a state, and there are not many officials under it. The people in Xiaoshe can see it. If the place is big and there are too many officials, how can we keep an eye on it so closely? As long as one person takes the initiative, these rules will gradually disappear. It’s broken.”
Several people couldn't help but nod after hearing this. Why Wang Xiaolie firmly believed that he could do it, but Zhang Jun said no, everyone couldn't figure it out. But Zhang Jun is a smart man. Since joining the army, there is nothing he can't learn. What he said shouldn't be wrong. Moreover, Zhang Jun gained Wang Xiaolie's trust. He had not fought a single battle in a few months, and his status was almost the same as everyone else's just by studying well.
After drinking for three rounds, Shao Ling said: "For this drill, Xiao Sheren asked us to make plans each and discuss them first. After submitting the plans, it will be up to him to decide. I don't understand. Is there any good plan to discuss? Are there many ways to march and fight?"
Xie Linong said: "There are always many rules on how to send out troops and how to march. Coach Lin has been teaching us for several months, and Xiao Sheren may want to test us. Don't worry about it, we can just hand in our writing methods. good."
Zhang Jun listened and shook his head. Seeing everyone looking at me, he said: "You are thinking too much, or in other words, you are thinking too little."
"What do you mean?" Several people couldn't help but look at Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun said: "You think too much, because you think Xiao Sheren wants to test you. Xiao Sheren has struggled to study, so how can he test you? If you think too little, you don't understand Xiao Sheren's true meaning."
Yu Huan said: "We don't understand, so do you understand?"
Zhang Jun looked at Yu Huan, smiled and said nothing.
Shao Ling said: "We brothers, if you have something to say, just say it. If we say something wrong, please forgive us."
Zhang Jun nodded: "You're right, we brothers don't have to worry about anything. Xiao Sheren has two purposes for this drill. One is to test whether what we have learned in the past few months is useful. Then One, what Coach Lin teaches is just talk on paper. How it will turn out in practice needs to be tested in practice. Maybe Xiaoshe people don’t have an idea as to how to test it.”
Cao Zhiyan said: "How can Xiaosheren have no idea? I think you underestimate Xiaosheren!"
Zhang Jun shook his head after hearing this: "It's not that I underestimate Xiao Sheren, but because I don't know what to do myself. I don't know, Xiao Sheren can think clearly, I'm afraid -"
Having said this, Zhang Jun drank a glass of wine and kept silent.
A few people understand, but it’s hard to say it out loud. In these days, the person who learned the best was Zhang Jun, not even Wang Xiaolie could compare to him. Since Zhang Jun didn't know, how could Wang Xiaolie know?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Juncai said: "One person is short-term, and two people are long-term. Let you come up with a plan and discuss it carefully. It is to use the power of everyone to try to do things well. Do you understand? Do this well. Yes, naturally the people of Xiaoshe will take it seriously."
Several people nodded, recalling what Zhang Jun said. It seems that this drill is quite unusual.
