Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the eighth day of September, the second phase of the Kunshan County water conservancy project was completed as scheduled.

    After a month of hard work, 70,000 people and 100,000 old, young, women and children in the county built a fifty-mile long north-south dike along the Jiepu River and Yangcheng Lake, and built double dikes for the 17-mile-long Yanglin Pond.

    Completely eliminating floods in northern Kunming, allowing 100,000 acres of flooded land on both sides of Yanglintang to see the light of day again!

    On the day when the project was completed, Lin Run, the governor of Yingtian, came to inspect the project. He also attended the completion ceremony in Kunshan County and gave a passionate speech.

    After the ceremony was over, the people returned to the city to celebrate In fact, after eating and drinking, Lin Zhongcheng, accompanied by Zhao Shouzheng, went to inspect the previously repaired Wusong River embankment.

    Lin Zhongcheng patrolled very carefully. He also carried a small hammer and hammered here and there on the river embankment to personally inspect the construction quality.

    Zhao Hao was also mixed in with a large number of attendants. It was not that he wanted to join in the fun, but Lin Run named him and asked him to accompany him today.

    Naturally, the will of the highest local official cannot be violated. Mr. Zhao did not even dare to wear sunglasses, and even put on an eighth-grade green official robe that he had not touched since coming to Jiangnan.  Followed by a group of guys wearing blue, green and green official robes, far behind Lin Run and his father.

    Looking at Lin Run's serious look, he whispered to Xiong Dianshi on the side: "He hits a hammer?"

    "No." Xiong Dianshi nodded and said softly: "The young master's men have been working with big hammers for a long time without any success. What's the use of Zhongcheng's small hammer?"

    "Just pick up the hammer." Mr. Zhao rolled his eyes.

    "Puch" Xiong Dianshi was amused.  After returning from Jinling, although he was still a man-eating old bear in front of others, he became a smiling little bear in front of Mr. Zhao.

    The two people were talking and laughing freely, which attracted the glare of the blue-robed official in front.

    "Do you know this is disrespectful to Zhong Cheng? What is your name?"

    "My name is Ni Daye, what's your name?" Mr. Zhao was bored, so he immediately took out his sunglasses from his sleeves and put them on the bridge of his nose.

    "My officer, Songjiangtong judge, Tian Baiguang!" The official turned coldly to the two officials who were like green-headed flies. He saw that one of them had an oriole on his chest, and the other had a house sparrow on his chest.

    So he regarded them both as miscellaneous officials in Kunshan County, and looked down upon them even more.  "One is in the eighth grade and the other is not in the mainstream. No wonder he doesn't understand the rules."

    "You are the only one who understands?" Zhao Hao quickly unfolded his fan and saw a line of big characters written on it: 'No one understands better than me'.

    "You" Tian Tongpan felt that he was being teased and couldn't help but spat: "You know nothing!"

    "Mr. Tian is the magistrate of Songjiang. He is in charge of our officials in Kunshan. He stretched his hand too far!" Xiong Dianshi saw his thigh Oh no, the young master was humiliated. He immediately stepped forward and stared at the opponent with a sinister look.

    "That's right, can you take care of us?" Mr. Zhao waved his fan contemptuously, revealing the word "Science" on the other side.

    "I'm here to welcome Mr. Zhongcheng to our Songjiang for inspection." Tian Tongpan twitched the corner of his mouth twice and said in a muffled voice.

    "Damn, he turned out to be a flatterer." Zhao Hao and Xiong Dianshi retreated and ignored him.

    "Hmph, you two wait!" The scorned Judge Tian felt that if he didn't get his place back, the dignity of his dignified sixth-grade Judge would be lost on this embankment.

    ??~~

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from Lin Run after knocking for a while, and finally stood up with satisfaction and said:

    "Wow, this cement embankment really deserves its reputation. It is stronger than the stone ponds built in other counties! No wonder it can prevent wind and floods!"

    "I'm really worried, I can withstand several typhoons. It's really great." Zhao Shouzheng smiled modestly.

    "You are very good, better than what this hospital originally expected." Lin Run looked Zhao Shouzheng up and down, and saw that the pampered white-faced number one scholar had become darker and thinner, and his eyes looked much bigger than before.  .

    "This hospital did not hire the wrong person, and its initial concerns about you were completely wrong!"

    "Ashamed!" Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly bowed and thanked him: "The official just remembered Zhongcheng's instructions and kept the people of the county in his heart at all times. Only then did the whole county work together and luckily withstood this year's flood.  "

    "Alas, Magistrate Zhao, being too modest is pride." Lin Run waved his hand and pointed to the embankment at his feet: "Could it be that this impregnable embankment was built by luck?"

    "If this is a miracle, I think there is no other county magistrate in the world who can create such a miracle." Lin Zhongcheng gave the highest evaluation.

    Zhao Shouzheng said sincerely that it was because they were tooStupid, you can't give birth to a good son like me Hey, why do these words seem a bit strange?

    ¡®It¡¯s not a good son like me, but a good son like my son.  ¡¯ Mr. Zhao made a serious correction secretly.

    "But this hospital is very curious. Can you tell me how much it will cost to build this embankment?" Lin Run asked softly after Mr. Zhao finished humiliating himself.

    "If you convert it into silver, you can get one million taels." Zhao Shouzheng followed his son's instructions and reported a figure that he had heard for the first time.

    In fact, according to Jiang Xueying's account, the total cost of the first phase of the project was only 500,000 taels.

    But when it comes to reporting accounts to the boss, it obviously cannot be calculated like this.  After all, the labor for the first phase of the project was free, and Kunkaisi¡¯s profit margin was not included.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? If Lin Run only wants to pay 500,000 taels for the sake of face, then Lin Run will ask Kunkaisi to repair the embankment of Yingtian Shifu at this price, and he will have to lose all the calf-nosed robes of Mr. Zhao.

    One million taels is not much, but the Baili Shitang in Wujiang cost three million taels.

    Comparing this, Kunkaisi is simply a good company making good money.

    It was only one million taels, which shocked Lin Run.

    "Kunshan County Court came here last year. At that time, Magistrate Feng was so poor that he couldn't get rid of the blame. However, this Court couldn't stand it, so we gave him five thousand taels of silver to spend the year. You have only been here a few months, how did you get so much?  Money?"

    "The county teamed up with the gentry of the county and Jiangnan Company to establish a Kunshan Development Company to do this. Naturally, the county had no money, so it only held a quarter of the shares, and all the project funds were spent  It was produced by the gentry and the Jiangnan Company."

    "Then what good do they do?" Lin Run asked again.

    "The county promised to rent the abandoned fields to Kunkaisi as a reward." Zhao Shouzheng explained carefully:

    "For example, after the second phase of the project is completed, the 100,000 acres of flooded land on both sides of Yanglintang will be turned into fertile farmland. The county has signed a lease contract with Kunkaisi as payment for the previous phase of the project."

    "What's the leasing law?" Lin Run asked very carefully. He had been a censor for half his life, and he had an intuition that there might be something dirty here.

    "Here is the contract. I haven't had time to report it to the government yet. Please ask Prime Minister Jun to review it." Zhao Shouzheng quickly took out a contract signed between the county and Kunkaisi from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

    Lin Run took it and read it carefully word by word. Finally, he looked at the rolling Wusong River and let out a long sigh:

    "I admire you, Zhixian Zhao is really a genius for coming up with such a method!"

    Mr. Zhao couldn't help but feel ashamed, thinking that he had taken advantage of his son's reputation again.
