Chapter 52 Tianjing
"Master!"

The girl in yellow took Zhang Heng's hand: "A single person is a tree, a pair of trees is a forest, and three trees are a forest. It is because there are too many people like you that we have been unable to fight and have been humiliated."

Zhang Heng calmly pulled his hand back: "Just stand and talk, you don't need to move your feet."

"Master, you are too indifferent."

The woman in yellow has a face full of hatred: "You are the indifferent and numb Chinese people described by Mr. Lu. Seeing you, I understand the meaning of this trip even more. I am willing to use my blood to awaken your conscience, if... "

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll kick you out."

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 more trees. This is more effective than protesting and marching."

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 walking in front, waving to the other girl in yellow, Zhang Heng muttered to himself: "Blessed with the immeasurable Heavenly Venerate, save all those who think of kindness, good men and good women, so that they don't stick to it. Evil consequences, 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 Treasure, one should wish all sentient beings to learn the best 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, with only a few sentences: I have arrived in Tianjin. If you are in a hurry, you can call the Tianjin Telegraph Office and hand it over to me. Inscription: 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 another place.

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.
