Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Shouzheng has already reported to various ministries and is just waiting to be received by the governor before he can go to Suzhou City to meet with the big guys in the government.

    Normally, it would take five to seven days at the fastest to be summoned after the greeting card is delivered to the governor's office.

    Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned home that day, Fan Datong, who was left behind, reported that someone from the governor's Yamen came today and ordered Zhao Shouzheng to see him early tomorrow morning.

    "I planned to go to the Qinhuai River to have fun, but now I have no time." Xu Wei sighed regretfully after hearing this: "Hurry up and pack up and prepare to take office."

    The reason is very simple. This time, I was summoned just one day after the invitation was posted.  It was obvious that the governor had surpassed other seekers to see him in advance.

    We are not relatives, and the dignified Governor Yingtian does not need to look at anyone's face. Naturally, he has something urgent to do.

    At this juncture, it can almost be said that it is because the flood situation has worsened.

    "Don't sleep tonight." Xu Wei said to Zhao Shouzheng, "Get ready, there is a big test tomorrow. I heard that the current governor is Lin Run. He is a person who cannot tolerate any ambiguity in his eyes!  "

    "Ah, so scary?" Zhao Shouzheng took a breath.

    "Boss, Xu Wenchang is not alarmist." Wu Chengen also persuaded from the side: "Lin Zhongcheng is different from ordinary frontier officials. He is a ruthless character. Back then, Yan Shifan, Yan Maoqing, Luo Longwen half of the Yan Party fell into his hands.  Moreover, he is well versed in government affairs and is extremely agile and difficult to prepare for. He can really take off your official hat so that you don't have to take office."

    ¡°Then please help me,¡± Zhao Hao said seriously, ¡°Let¡¯s practice with my father in advance.

    "There is no shirking responsibility." Wu Chengen responded to his beacon.

    Xu Wei had no choice but to agree reluctantly.

    ??~~

    The next day it was still rainy.

    Zhao Shouzheng was dressed neatly and took a sedan to the Yingtian Governor's Yamen on West Chang'an Street.

    On the large platform in front of the Yamen, there is a blue flag with a bucket three or four feet high, and a line of golden characters:

    ¡®The Prime Minister ordered the Prime Minister to supervise the military affairs and the governor of the ten prefectures of Yingtian¡¯!

    The governor of Yingtian can not only govern Yingtian Prefecture, but also the military and political affairs of the nine Jiangnan prefectures such as Susongchang Town are within his jurisdiction, so he is also called the "Governor of Jiangnan".

    Its jurisdiction is the most prosperous and prosperous area in the Ming Dynasty, and its tax revenue accounts for one-third of the world. Therefore, Governor Yingtian is truly the "No. 1 Governor in the World".

    In front of the eight-character wall at the governor's gate, a pair of stone lions show off their power.

    Behind the closed gate, sixteen guards of the governor carrying swords, wearing bamboo hats and ponchos, remained motionless in the heavy rain.

    Zhao Shouzheng got off the sedan early and asked Fang Wen to hurry up and report. He followed behind with an umbrella.

    The two of them waited for some tea in the rain before someone came out and asked the guards to open the gate and let Zhao Shouzheng in.

    Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly followed the door without squinting, followed the corridor, passed through the lobby, the second hall and the third hall, and came to the outside of the governor's signature room.

    The chief of the room outside the custody room went in to report, and soon let Zhao Shouzheng in.

    Mr. Zhao went in to sign the pledge room. He didn¡¯t dare to look around and quickly gave the governor a big gift.

    "Zhixian Zhao is exempt from the gift." A young voice sounded.  "Please take a seat."

    Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly thanked the governor, put his buttocks down on the official hat chair against the wall, and then sat upright.

    Only then did he dare to look at the young and excessive governor.

    I¡¯ll go, he¡¯s so handsome

    Mr. Zhao said he looks pretty good, with thin skin and tender flesh, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a nice nose and mouth, and he doesn¡¯t look old.

    But compared with the governor who was wearing a third-grade official robe, he suddenly pales in comparison.

    "This governor is just like a human being - he has clear facial features, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, he is as handsome as jade, and he is very handsome.

    Two lines of poetry suddenly popped into Mr. Zhao¡¯s mind:

    ¡®The accumulated stones are like jade, and the rows of pines are like emerald green.  Lang Yan is unique and unique in the world.  ¡¯

    If it weren¡¯t for the graying of his temples, no one would doubt that the governor was in his mid-twenties.

    But it was those two streaks of gray that gave him the majesty of a feudal official, making people dare not look at him.

    ??~~

    The governor, whose surname is Lin, Run, and Ruoyu, is indeed young, only thirty-eight years old.

    Lin Run is only two years older than Zhao Shouzheng, and he has already become the governor of Jiangnan. Second Master Zhao has just become a Jinshi and he got it by cheating.

    ¡®The gap between people is huge, why is it so big?  "' Mr. Zhao is ashamedThe ugly person thought to himself.

    "Zhixian Zhao should have already thought about why this hospital wants to see you in advance, right?" At this time, Lin Run spoke, and his voice was pleasant, gentle, calm, and smooth.

    "Yes." Zhao Shouzheng replied hurriedly: "I'm assuming that due to continuous rains, the water level of Taihu Lake has risen again and again, and the flood situation has become more and more severe."

    "Yes, the latest horse racing report this morning is that the water level on the south bank of Taihu Lake has exceeded two feet in previous years." Lin Run said solemnly: "The water levels of Dianshan Lake and Chenghu Lake have also exceeded the warning line."

    The lower reaches of Taihu Lake are not only important tax areas in the country, but also the places most severely affected by floods.  A set of means for strict monitoring and rapid communication of flood conditions has long been formed.

    Carrier pigeons are the fastest means of delivery, but heavy rain for days makes it impossible for pigeons to deliver messages.  We can only settle for the next best thing, use the post delivery system all over the south of the Yangtze River, change horses without changing people, and travel six hundred miles a day to report the flood situation!

    Flood information sent from Suzhou can be sent to the governor's office in Jinling the next day.

    Zhao Shouzheng's heart tightened when he heard this.  "So fast? I heard that it only grew one foot the day before yesterday."

    "Yes, the water level has risen beyond expectations." Lin Run nodded and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what this means?"

    Zhao Shouzheng knew that the examination from the governor had begun.  He quickly cheered up and replied:

    "It meanshalf of Kunshan is already soaked in water."

    "Which half of Kunshan?"

    "South of the Wusong River. Although the terrain of Kunshan is higher in the south and lower in the north, Dianshan Lake and Chenghu Lake in the south of the county have been severely reclaimed and have lost their regulating and storage functions. As long as the warning water level is exceeded, flooding will occur."

    Fortunately, he took the time to hold the Buddha's feet last night - Xu Wei listed sixteen questions that Lin Run might ask, and Wu Chengen helped him answer them one by one, and then Mr. Zhao memorized them by rote.

    "The water overflowed the lake and flowed from south to north until it submerged all the southern counties and then merged into the Wusong River." At this time, he followed the script and answered naturally.

    "This has greatly increased the burden on the Wusong River - it is originally the main channel from Taihu Lake into the Yangtze River, and coupled with the pressure from the south bank, it greatly increases the risk of the embankment bursting."

    "To make matters worse, the lower reaches of the Wusong River have poor drainage and cannot release floods in time." After Zhao Shouzheng finished speaking, he raised his head, looked at the governor worriedly and said:

    "The upstream is under pressure, the downstream is stagnant, and the middle is crowded. This is why Kunshan County builds embankments every year, but the embankments burst every year."

    "Okay!" After listening to Mr. Zhao's words, Lin Run's stern expression finally relaxed.  He nodded appreciatively and said: "Zhixian Zhao has worked hard and it is better than what this court imagined."

    PS. Yesterday I went to bed and took a walk during the day. I took a rest and coded these two chapters at night.  But my spirit has recovered, so you will see three more chapters today!  !  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
