    In the second hall of the governor's office.

    Hearing Lin Zhongcheng ask about the disaster situation in Kunshan County, Magistrate Cai hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Everything is fine."

    "Oh?" Lin Run was surprised. Wu County was hit so hard, how could Kunshan County be safe?

    "That's right?"

    "It's absolutely true." Magistrate Cai also said with a look of disbelief: "Not only did the county report it like this, but the officials sent by the government to inspect it also reported it like this. Although the Sixty-Two Mile Embankment collapsed for many reasons, they were inside  We also built embankments to block the flood."

    "As expected of the Number One Scholar, he is very knowledgeable." Lin Run couldn't help but praise: "When Magistrate Cai suggested that he come to Kunshan, I thought you didn't want this magistrate with such a strong background to enter Suzhou City.  .¡±

    With that said, he stood up and cupped his hands towards Cai Guoxi and said, "President Cai, this court wants to apologize to you. You use good steel on the blade."

    "Zhongcheng is so impressed." Magistrate Cai became humble.

    On the side, Yang Chenglin and the magistrate Zhang secretly slandered, he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the person named Zhao, right?

    Zhao Shouzheng was born in the top 100, had a fiery temperament, and dared to beat up Xiaoge Lao in Tian Street. Such an immortal was demoted to become the county magistrate.  How can Magistrate Cai tolerate this when he still has to look up but not look down?

    ¡°In fact, let alone Magistrate Cai, even the two county magistrates did not want Zhao Shouzheng to come to Suzhou.

    Don¡¯t look at Yang Chenglin complaining all day about not cultivating in his previous life and being unlucky in his three lives.  But working as a parent official in the most prosperous city in the world, even if you are not greedy or possessive, working for one year is equivalent to working for three years elsewhere.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And you can have a good relationship with many well-connected gentry, which will be of great benefit to your career in the future.

    As for Zhang Defu, the magistrate of Changzhou County, he and Yang Chenglin originally ruled in separate cities. They were on equal footing and could even dominate each other.

    ¡°If it were Zhao Zhuangyuan who came to Wu County, even the prefect would have to give him three points, how could he still perform the opposite role?  Be a good little brother to others.

    ??~~

    "Speaking of which, Kunshan is very different from previous years." Lin Run stood up and became more and more interested in Kunshan and said, "At this time in previous years, the streets should have been filled with disaster victims from Kunshan, right? I didn't see any of them this year.  . I heard that most of the people who came out have also gone back?"

    "It seems so." Magistrate Cai had a guilty conscience and subconsciously did not want to meet Zhao Shouzheng, so he never paid any attention to Kunshan.

    Naturally, the people below would not offend him, so they basically did not report on the situation in Kunshan.

    But at this time, you have to pretend to be fat even if you have a swollen face.  How can you say that you don¡¯t understand the situation in your jurisdiction?

    He then guessed uncertainly: "Last time, Kunshan County invited Xiaguan to attend the opening ceremony of their new embankment. It seemed that they would build a stone pond every month. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, the people of Kunshan believed it, so many people  I ran back to repair the embankment."

    "Build a stone pond in a month?" Lin Run went to Huizhou and other places to inspect after the Mei Flood. This time he just returned to Suzhou, and this was the first time he heard this statement.  "how long?"

    "More than sixty miles."

    "How is it possible?" Lin Run's first reaction was disbelief, but then he remembered that the embankments built by others had blocked the hurricane flood the day before yesterday, and it seemed that he could not question it casually.

    He asked Magistrate Cai with great interest: "When you attended the ceremony, you didn't ask him, who gave him the courage to say such things?"

    "This" Magistrate Cai couldn't help but said awkwardly: "As the official seal of the government, I cannot disturb the county casually, so I asked Chen Tongzhi to be the representative."

    It is an unspoken rule of the officialdom that the prefect does not easily go to the county.  Lin Run couldn't say anything about him.

    "But the word "governor" begins with the word "Xun", so Lin Run has no such worries.  He then smiled and said: "Well, our court will personally visit Zhao Zhuangyuan to see if he is a smart guy. How come he outperforms his colleagues as soon as he comes?"

    "I am ashamed to be an official." Cai Guoxi sighed secretly, thinking that it was indeed like "the dragon wants to raise its head, but it can't be held down".  Fortunately, he didn't go with the Xu family to deal with Zhao Shouzheng, otherwise he would have worried about whether that guy would accuse him in front of the governor.

    ??~~

    Lin Run still had something to tell Magistrate Cai, and the two magistrates were sent out after reporting.

    The two of them were talking quietly as they walked towards the yamen entrance.

    "You really don't know why Kunshan can build a dike so quickly?" Zhang Defu asked.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Yang Chenglin rolled his eyes.

    "That means I know it." Zhang Defu smiled.

    "Cement." Yang Chenglin gloomily spat out the word "Cement" from his nostrils.

    ¡°For more than half a month, Kunshan County¡¯s fleet of two to three thousand ships, large and small, has been circling the two counties day after day.??.  It's impossible for him not to know.

    The prefect must also know, but he just doesn¡¯t want to mention it.

    Yang Chenglin didn¡¯t even want to mention it.

    Because of the relationship between the two, he will inevitably be compared with Zhao Shouzheng.  This time, one of the two showed his face and the other his buttocks, which made Yang Chenglin feel more useless.

    ¡°It is estimated that someone must be laughing at him behind his back, pushing others away, but he can¡¯t do it well.

    By coincidence, Zhang Defu is one of them.  Seeing his wilting appearance, I felt so happy and kept adding salt to his wounds.

    "Do you know where the cement comes from?"

    "" Yang Zhixian remained silent.

    "Xishan Island." Zhang Zhixian answered for him: "I heard that the stones for building the embankment were all cut from Xishan Island."

    "" Yang Zhixian said with a dark face: "You know and still ask?"

    "I'm just curious." Zhang Defu said: "Isn't Xishan Island your county's? Why don't you use the cement first for your county? If you build a dike along Taihu Lake, can you survive this punishment?"

    As he spoke, he said with an envious face: "This is an opportunity to leave a name in history. 'Yang Gongdi', just thinking about it makes people jealous."

    "" Yang Zhixian wanted to strangle Zhang Defu to death and said angrily: "Stop pretending to be stupid here. Don't you know what is happening on Xishan Island now?!"

    Seeing that he was about to become angry, Zhang Defu stopped his teasing smile and lowered his voice:

    "You think I'm teasing you? I'm worried for you. To tell you the truth, I've been taking a boat along the Wusong River a lot these days. It's like magic. I can build two or three miles in a day!"

    "That's a stone embankment over ten feet high and thick! And they also built grate embankments every other mile. Think about how big a project it is? They can really finish it in a month!"

    "Oh, that's awesome" Yang Chenglin lowered his head like a frustrated ball, completely giving up the idea of ??competing with Zhao Shouzheng.  "It can't be compared, it just can't be compared."

    "I also managed to get a few bags of cement back for study." Zhang Defu said to him in a deep voice: "No kidding, cement is a magic weapon for achieving political achievements and a sharp tool for promotion. If we don't win first, then we will win first.  Two of these"

    Zhang Defu stretched out his hand into a claw and raised his middle finger.

    "You are the bastard." Yang Chenglin rolled his eyes at him.

    ps. The fourth update.  I really spent a whole day writing in one eye, and turned on the Sharingan mode in the other eye I'm going to write another chapter (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
