    Looking at the official ship going away, Zhang Tongpan shook his head and chuckled: "It's not that scary."

    He lost the draw, so he had to come here to stop Zhao Shouzheng and prevent him from entering Suzhou City.

    In fact, Kunnan is overflowing every year, and even the entire Kunshan is flooded from time to time. The gentlemen in Suzhou City are not worried at all.

    It¡¯s not as strong as the fear of Zhao Shouzheng.

    After all, they teamed up to bring the dignified number one scholar from Suzhou City, a paradise on earth, to Kunshan County, a water hell.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    ¡°After all, he is a man who has beaten Xiaoge Lao and eaten the royal stick!

    What if he holds back his anger and makes a big fuss in Suzhou City?

    Even if you don¡¯t make a fuss, it¡¯s inevitable to sneer at the prefect and say weird things, right?

    Why should the prefect be the only one to suffer the good deeds done by everyone?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????ToSisters: No, you have to stop him.

    "I don't dare tocan't see him now, so let him go to Kunshan first. Let's wait until something goes wrong and he loses his arrogance."

    What, no mistakes?  How can it be?  That was Kunshan, a mess.

    Does a Xinding County magistrate know how to provide disaster relief?  It would be weird not to make a mistake.  Only if you do it right can you be called a ghost!

    When the official ship was completely gone, Zhang Tongpan turned around and got into a varnished carriage made of gorgeous mahogany and inlaid with silver.

    A tall, thin man in his forties, with gray beard and hair, sat in the carriage with a gloomy expression.

    It looks like it is Liu Zhengqi, the vice president of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce.

    It¡¯s just that this man who almost became Zhao Hao¡¯s father-in-law is completely thinner than last year and looks ten years older.

    ¡°Obviously, this year has not been easy for him.

    When silk prices plummeted last fall, Liu Yuanwai lost a total of 400,000 silver, and the capital chain was directly broken.  I had to sell off all the assets in Jinling, and also sold the 100,000-acre mulberry garden in Huzhou at a low price, which was really taxing.

    To make matters worse, his reputation was seriously damaged.  The Hui merchants, Fujian merchants, and Zhejiang merchants in Jinling were all laughing at him. He was almost bankrupted by a child with no hair.

    "In fact, Zhao Hao only caused him to lose more than 40,000 taels of silver. It's just that when three people become tigers and everyone talks about gold, people are more willing to believe those exaggerated and bizarre statements.

    Liu Yuanwai had no shame in staying in Jinling any longer, so he resigned as president of the Nanjing-Suzhou Chamber of Commerce and returned to his hometown in Suzhou to lick his wounds.

    However, the Dongting businessmen in his hometown also laughed at him behind his back and squeezed him in business, making him miserable.

    "If he hadn't hugged Xu Kun, the second son of Xu Ge, into the lap of Xu Er Ye last winter.  When the Dongting Chamber of Commerce re-elects at the end of the year, he will be kicked out of the position of vice president by those bastards.

    But Liu Yuanwai¡¯s memorization of words is not finished yet.  Although Xu Kun helped him stabilize the situation, the Xu family are all vampires!

    In less than half a year, Xu Kun had already robbed more than 200,000 taels of filial piety from him, leaving Liu Yuanwai, who had just recovered, to be stretched again.

    This means that the business foundation of generations is too strong, otherwise, he would have been tortured to death.

    Who would have thought that at this time there would be news that Mr. Xu Ge would become an official.

    Liu Yuanwai felt as if he had eaten a fly. Isn't he taking this too seriously?  Why the hell do you choose the wrong one every time?

    News that made matters worse came one after another, and Zhao Shouzheng was appointed magistrate of Wu County.

    "The foundation of Liu Yuan's business, and even his home, are all in Wu County.

    Now Liu Zhengqi was completely panicked, and he quickly used his money skills again, connecting up and down, trying to move Zhao Shouzheng to a nest.

    In addition, the Xu family has also formed a feud with the Zhao family. Xu Fan's two younger brothers, Xu Ying and Xu Kun, also spared no effort to exaggerate the evil and domineering Zhao family father and son.

    With their joint efforts, they finally aroused the "Zhaophobia" in Suzhou officialdom, and this led to Mr. Zhao's trip to Kunshan to fight the flood

    ??~~

    Zhang Jiong sat on the soft seat with his legs crossed, and said to Liu Yuan with a teasing smile: "Is this bad breath finally coming out?"

    "It's not bad." Liu Yuanwai exhaled a long breath and retracted his gaze from the river.  "I'm just worried about what if he comes back to kill me?"

    "Don't worry, after so many years, who has been the magistrate of Kunshan one after another can break out of that muddy pond? Zhao Zhuangyuan is no exception." Zhang Jiong picked his ears and no longer took Zhao Shou seriously.

    "I'm still worried. I have to put another rope around his neck." Liu Yuanwai didn't dare to say carelessly.: "I want to kill the Chamber of Commerce so that not a single grain of food can enter Kunshan."

    "So cruel?" Zhang Jiong couldn't help but sucked in a breath of air.

    "When I begged for mercy, they didn't let me go." Liu Yuanwai gritted his teeth and said, "The tide has turned, and this time they fell into my hands. I will make their lives worse than death!"

    "Don't go too far." Although Zhang Jiong has received many benefits from Liu Yuanwai, he has not forgotten his identity.  "The people of Kunshan are also the subjects of the mansion. If too many people starve to death, the mansion will have to eat and die."

    "Don't worry, as long as we don't enter Kunshan, the counties will not be affected, but will also increase their supply." One of the pillar industries of the Dongting Merchant Gang is selling grain from Huguang to Zhili in the south.  Especially the grain transportation in Susong area is completely monopolized by them. Liu Yuanwai certainly has the confidence to say this.

    "The common people have long legs and will never die of hunger as long as they leave Kunshan."

    "Haha, that's right." Zhang Tongpan laughed in relief after hearing this: "They are used to begging for food anyway!"

    "Haha" Liu Yuanwai sneered twice. He would like to see if all the people are gone, what curses will the Zhao family and his son still have?

    By then, Kunshan will be in a mess and become a deserted place. Let¡¯s see if Lin Run doesn¡¯t peel off his official skin.

    Are you still thinking about going back to Suzhou City?  Go ahead and dream!

    ??~~

    ¡®A sneeze!  ¡¯

    Zhao Shouzheng, who was standing on the bow of the boat wearing a bamboo hat, sneezed loudly.

    "It's so damn cold." With Mr. Zhao's kind nature, he naturally wouldn't think that someone was cursing him. He tightened his raincoat and asked Zhao Hao standing aside: "Son, do you see anything?  "

    But it was said that not long after the official ship left Suzhou City, it arrived at Guajingkou in North Taihu Bay, and the Wusong River leading to Kunshan also originated from here.

    This can also be said to be the source of floods in Kunshan.

    Zhao Hao took Zhao Shouzheng and two gentlemen to the bow of the ship for on-the-spot investigation.

    Without investigation, there is no right to speak.

    "It's a pity that sometimes, even after investigating, I still can't speak"

    Mr. Zhao smacked his lips when he heard the words. He saw a vast expanse of water in front of him. The lake was rolling and heading east.

    What can you see?

    He then looked at Wu Chengen with a smile and said calmly: "Mr. Sheyang has been an official in Changxing County by Taihu Lake for many years, and he sees things more clearly than I do."

    ¡°Well, a little more is still a lot, and even ten thousand more is still a lot, so what I said is absolutely correct.

    Wu Chengen is a real person, so he nodded and pointed to the obviously narrow river on the west side: "Guajingkou is a long and narrow trumpet mouth, and the terrain is the lowest. Seventy percent of the entire Taihu Lake's water volume needs to be discharged from here."

    "Guajingkou." Zhao Hao had an impression, pointing to the checkerboard-shaped paddy fields on the south bank and asked: "Is that the Daogang Polder?"

    "Yes, we in Kunshan will be killed by this thing." Wu Chengen said with a bitter smile.

    "Oh?" Zhao Hao was a little surprised when he heard this. He remembered that the high school history book said that this thing was a water conservancy project with many benefits.

    ps. I studied the hydrological data all morning, ah, kill me, I just coded one chapter.  I will continue(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
