In the cabin of the boat, the river breeze blew gently through the gauze curtains, bringing with it a faint fragrance of rice. It was the smell of rice ears filling on the other side of the Wusong River.
As for the Wujiang side, although there are thousands of hectares of fertile farmland, there is a high stone pond across it, so you can't smell the fragrance of rice.
In the cabin, Yizhixian repeatedly urged him to drink, preparing to make Mr. Zhao drunk and knock him down.
He didn¡¯t know that he had accidentally touched the life gate of Mr. Zhao. Can you stop drinking when you see wine? Can you avoid getting drunk after drinking alcohol?
Fortunately, Zhao Shouzheng also knew himself. After drinking three glasses, he held down the wine cup and said, "Let's talk about business first. After drinking, we can only talk about romance."
"Oh haha" Yizhi County laughed twice and said with a helpless smile:
"My brother is really persistent. Okay, please speak up. But Brother Yu has something to say first. If you want this county to open the floodgates to release floods, I advise you not to speak loudly, so as not to hurt the feelings of our brothers."
"Uh" Zhao Shouzheng smacked his lips and said, "Brother is so awesome, he guessed my purpose right away."
"What's this? Every Kunshan magistrate has to discuss this matter with Wu Jiang. And not only with Wu Jiang, but also with Songjiang. After many talks, has the negotiation ever been successful?" Yizhi County picked up a piece of sausage and chewed it hard. .
"No." Zhao Shouzheng shook his head.
"That's it, all my predecessors have been able to withstand the refusal. Now that I'm here with Brother Yu, how can I break this example?" Yizhixian felt the gratifying pleasure of the large intestine and small intestine in his mouth, and closed his eyes happily and said:
"Brother, listen to my advice, don't think that because you are a parent official, you really want to worry about your parents in the county? People are just living their lives, and we are all just passing by. There is no need to do such offending things."
"Brother, I dare not agree with this." Zhao Shouzheng said seriously when he heard the words: "Before I took office, an old senior once said to me that if something is beneficial to the court, the people, and the gentry, it should be done Overcome all difficulties and work hard!¡±

¡®A sneeze¡¡¯ Zhang Zhixian, who was taking a morning break on Concubine No. 1¡¯s lap at the Shangyuan County Office, suddenly sneezed.
"Cold." Zhang Dongguan snorted without opening his eyes.
Concubine No. 2 hurriedly covered him with a blanket.
After a while, Zhang Zhixian hummed again: "Hot."
Concubine No. 2 rolled her eyes and fanned Lao Guawazi, who was covered with a blanket.

On the official ship in Wujiang.
Yizhi County couldn¡¯t laugh or cry after hearing this. "But this matter is harmful to Wu County, and you can't do it either."
"Brother, don't refuse in a hurry. I'm not asking you to open all the gates and flood the polders in your county."
Mr. Zhao hurriedly put forward the solution given by Pan Jixun and said: "This county asked experts for advice and came up with a solution that does not harm both sides."
"Oh, tell me?" Yizhixian nodded expressionlessly.
"Map!" Mr. Zhao snapped his fingers, and Fang Wen appeared and presented a map.
Yizhi County was shocked and didn¡¯t know where this kid came from.
"Do you think this will work?" Mr. Zhao asked Fang Wen to unfold Su Song's map, pointed to the extra blue line on it and said:
"We will widen the gate in Gangmiao Town, Guixian County, and dig an artificial river to connect it to the Huangpu River. We asked people to calculate that we only need to dig the river ten feet wide to relieve half of the pressure on Kunshan. And after it is completed, Guixian and There is no need to go around the Wusong River between Songjiang and Songjiang, just take this canal directly."
"Oh." Yizhixian nodded noncommittally.
"Don't worry, brother, your county won't let you pay a penny. This 'Taipu River' is owned by our Kunshan County from beginning to end!"
Zhao Shouzheng slapped his chest so loudly that he believed that the other party would definitely agree.
Because this is a brilliant plan put forward by Pan Jixun, a master of water control, which can not only preserve 90% of the polder in Wujiang County, but also reduce half of the pressure on Kunshan, and also provide a shortcut between Su and Song.
Kunshan County has made great sacrifices for this. Not to mention the work and money, the entire river is not within the county boundaries. This means that once this river is built, merchant ships from Songjiang to Wuxian, or even south to Zhejiang, will no longer need to use the Wusong River. Naturally, I will never pass through Kunshan again.
¡°But such a plan to abolish part of the martial arts has been unanimously supported by Kunshan County This shows the extent of the suffering of the elders in Kunshan.
??~~
However, the other party remained unmoved.
I saw Yizhi County pondering for a long time, then he met the expectant eyes of Mr. Zhao and said: "Come, drink."
"You tell me first whether it's a hit or not." Mr. Zhao became serious and even put wine in second place.
 "I told you, my current position as an official is as light as water, right?" Yizhi County couldn't help but get a little angry, wondering why this person doesn't know what's appropriate?
"Yes, I told you." Mr. Zhao nodded.
"I said I'm leaving office soon, and I don't have the heart to worry about it anymore, so just let it go and get through it, right?" Yi Zhixian said with a tired look on his face.
"Yes, I told you." Mr. Zhao nodded again.
"Then why are you forcing yourself so hard?" Yizhi County rolled his eyes at him and said, "Yes, ten feet is not wide, but this river is damn long! From Miaogang Town to Dongmuxu there is a hundred and one feet. Does Shili know?"
¡°Including the river embankments on both sides, at least fifteen feet wide, that¡¯s 4,100 acres of land!¡± Yizhi County suddenly raised his voice and said, ¡°We have to take out this land, right?¡±
"It's only more than 4,000 acres of land." Mr. Zhao muttered in a low voice: "You have built more than 100,000 acres of land around the lake? It's less than half."
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:?"The county just pays to buy these lands."
"Buy it? Do you know how much four thousand acres of land cost?" Yizhi County couldn't help but laugh, knowing nothing about Mr. Zhao's money-making ability.
The paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River are worth 20 taels of silver per acre, but the polder fields are not on the yellow list and are not guaranteed. The maximum is 10 taels of silver per acre. This is not a problem for Mr. Zhao.
"Isn't it just four to fifty thousand taels of silver" Zhao Shouzheng took out his wallet from his sleeve, slapped it on the table and said, "As long as you nod, pay now!"
The corners of Yizhixian's mouth twitched a few times. When did the beggar Kunshan become so rich?
What he didn¡¯t know was that this was not the county¡¯s public funds at all, or even the Zhao family¡¯s money.
It was the nutrition money given to Mr. Zhao by the eldest princess before he left the capital.
"Second Master Zhao is ready to dedicate his labor income to help the county solve the century-old flood problem. What a good official he is"
"Even if you offer one hundred thousand taels, this county will not agree to it." But Yizhi County, who was as honest as water, still shook his head.
"Not to mention the land for thousands of households, the county must expropriate it, right? If the river is built, half of the floods will flow away from the county. This risk is too great."
In fact, the main reason is that I am afraid of trouble. By then, Wujiang will be like Kunshan, fighting floods from the beginning of the plum season to the beginning of autumn. Just thinking about it makes one's head ache.
¡°If the embankment breaks down and people are drowned, then his sin will be great. How to enter the famous eunuch temple in Wujiang County?
