Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The twenty-seventh day of July in the second year of Longqing¡¯s reign is a day that Kunshan elders will never forget.

    After a month of continuous fighting in the wind and rain, the Wusong River North Embankment project was successfully closed!

    On this day, 380,000 men, women, old and children from the whole county came out in full force and rushed to the Dragon King Temple embankment.

    There were so many people on this day. The front of the long queue had already reached the Nanshan Temple Embankment section, and the back had not yet left the county seat.

    On the embankment, colorful towers have been erected, flags are flying, and flowers are blooming!

    Under the embankment, there is a sea of ??people. Who doesn¡¯t want to witness this great moment that the people of the county have been looking forward to for a hundred years?

    As soon as the hour came, Mr. Zhao, wearing a two-beam crown, a red robe, a silver belt, a medicine jade, and a brocade ribbon with three-color flowers hanging on his head, appeared in front of a group of Zuoer gentry.  On the embankment.

    When he and Gu Dadong symbolically poured the last bucket of concrete on the embankment, on the small hole intentionally left by the villagers, it was officially declared that the entire embankment was completely closed!

    Immediately, deafening cheers rang out from under the embankment, and the people threw the flowers they brought into the sky. The colorful rain of flowers covered the sight of the people on the embankment.

    At this point, this battle that started on June 26 has come to a successful conclusion!

    ??~~

    Mr. Zhao Er has always been short-sighted, but seeing the people so excited, how can he hold back now?

    Standing on the embankment, he burst into tears. He was about to sheepishly explain that he was blinded by the wind, but he heard someone beside him burst into tears.

    Zhao Shouzheng wiped his tears and turned around to see Xiong Dianshi and Xiong Xiasheng.

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

    Second Master Zhao was dumbfounded, wondering what happened to this guy?

    Fortunately, the people were dancing and shouting excitedly, but no one noticed anything unusual about the old bear.

    Prime Minister He County on the side quickly asked someone to help Xiong Dianshi down the embankment to prevent the common people from thinking wildly after noticing.

    After the people had vented their excitement, Zhao Shouzheng calmed down, took a look at the cheat sheet hidden in the palm of his hand, and then raised the microphone.

    When the people saw their old parents wanting to lecture them, they quickly became quiet until there was no sound.

    "Thirty-one years ago, here too, when the county announced that it would build this levee in one month, no one believed it except ourselves!"

    "Thirty-one days later, we built this indestructible levee. Except for the two days of suspension due to the hurricane, the entire project took a full 29 days. Now, we can declare to the world that our Kunshan County is bragging, we  done!"

    "Ouch!" The people cheered heartily again, and it took a while to calm down.

    Then Zhao Shouzheng continued to say loudly: "It just so happened that after a slight bending and straightening, the length of the entire river embankment was shortened to fifty-eight miles. The average daily progress of the project was two miles, and six sluices were also built.  , and sixty sections of Geti. This is an out-and-out great miracle in our Chinese history!"

    As he spoke, he pointed at the hundreds of thousands of people under the embankment and shouted loudly: "And you, the great people of Kunshan County, are the creators of this great miracle!"

    "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" The common people were so excited by Mr. Zhao's excitement.  How have they, the common people who are as light as a feather, ever been so praised?

    "Kunshan will never forget the 67,371 people who fought here day and night! This long embankment was built brick by stone by your shoulders and hands!"

    "Kunshan will never forget the boatmen and boat girls on the 3,663 boats that travel between Taihu Lake and Wusong day and night. Every stone on this long embankment belongs to you, one boat at a time.  , transported back from Dongting West Mountain, one hundred and sixty miles away!"

    "Kunshan will never forget the 83,112 elderly people, women and children who worked day and night to weave baskets, twist ropes and bags for the project! Without your hard work, this long embankment would never have been completed as scheduled.  !¡±

    "The common people were dumbfounded. Shouldn't this moment of celebration be a time for big shots to praise each other? Why did the big boss keep giving credit to them?

    But it¡¯s so cool!  So proud!  So damn proud!

    At this moment, many people in Kunshan are willing to die for their magistrate.

    "Master, Master, Master!" Thousands of people shouted together, and finally it became an earth-shattering sound.

    Fortunately, the local commanders held a meeting last night and warned them not to shout any taboo slogans.  For example, "The eldest man is many, many years old" and so on. I guess this willThe words shouted by the common people were enough to kill Mr. Zhao's entire family.

    ??~~

    The earth-shattering sound reached the Wusong River, causing the three people on a luxurious ship to stop talking involuntarily.

    The three of them were Zhao Hao and Wang Mengxiang and Wang Shimao who came to congratulate him.

    When the voice gradually became quieter, Wang Mengxiang smiled at Zhao Hao and said, "Young master, this greatest hero, no one knows."

    "This is a big deal. Just brush off your clothes and hide yourself and your name." Wang Shimao praised highly: "Young Master has a chivalrous character."

    "I have no plans to leave Kunshan." Zhao Hao laughed and said, "Besides, I'm not jealous of my father."

    The two kings also laughed.

    ??~~

    On the dam, Zhao Shouzheng took the opportunity to raise his hand and took another look at the cheat sheet.  He had drank a little too much these past few days, and his memory was obviously damaged.

    After the people stopped shouting, he continued:

    "You have eloquently proved with facts that although each of us may not be able to change anything, as long as we unite, we can create unprecedented miracles!"

    ¡°Unity is strength!¡± The village commanders immediately followed the instructions and took the lead in shouting slogans.

    ¡°Unity is strength!¡± the people also shouted.

    "So I hope that we, the people of Kunshan, will always be united and never be divided into southern and northern Kunshan. We must work together to build our home into the richest paradise in the Ming Dynasty! Can we do it?"

    "Yes! Yes! Yes!" The people were naturally very obedient.

    "Okay, now I announce that the first phase of the Kunshan County water conservancy project has been successfully completed!" Zhao Shouzheng did not wait for the people to cheer, and then announced loudly: "The second phase of the Kunshan County water conservancy project will officially start in seven days!"

    After a pause, he said in shock: "At the same time, the county announced that starting from the second phase of the project, Kunshan Development Company will pay workers and distribute them according to their work!"

    ¡°The common people are a little confused after hearing this. When will you get money for doing projects for the county?

    At this time, I heard Zhao Shouzheng announce another piece of good news: "Before the start of the second phase of the project, the county will give everyone a seven-day holiday. During the seven days, wine, meat and food will be provided as usual. Let everyone enjoy the joy of success!"

    This time the people understood, and they all went crazy with joy.  The dancing bei'er bei'er is jumping up and down!

    ps. Thanks to the new leader ¡®Yimao_yimao¡¯, thank you for your support.

    ps2. Cyclops is so tired that I won¡¯t write anymore. Cyclops went to sleep. I hope tomorrow will be better.  Asking for monthly tickets (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
