- Kunnan, on the east bank of Chenghu Lake, a long concrete embankment rises from the ground and reaches the end as far as the eye can see.
Today is the day when the Chenghu Levee is completed, and it is also the day when the Kunshan Water Conservancy Project is successfully completed.
Colorful flags were fluttering on the lake embankment, and people from all over the county and even neighboring counties flocked to the lake embankment. People from this county are here to celebrate, while people from Linxian County want to see what this magical ¡®Kunshan Miracle¡¯ looks like?
And I heard that Hai Qingtian will also attend.
Tens of thousands of boats, large and small, blocked the river leading to Chenghu Lake. That's why Mr. Zhao had to abandon the boat and rush here from the car, which made him get carsick and had to lie on Sister Ma's lap
This made Mr. Zhao even more disgusted with the bad roads in Kunshan County. He ordered Secretary Ma to write it down and urge Kunkaisi to repair the roads this year.
Actually, Sister Ma feels that this bumpy road is not all bad.
??~~
When Zhao Hao got off the carriage, he saw at least two to three hundred thousand people gathered up and down the lake embankment in the distance, and they didn't even want to get close.
The people of Kunshan beat the gongs and drums of victory, happily danced dragons and lions, walked on stilts, rowed land boats, and celebrated this great moment without emotion.
Three hundred thousand officials and citizens worked together to complete the 300-mile embankment project in just half a year. This is an unprecedented miracle.
The entire Jiangnan officialdom was shocked.
Not only Cai Guoxi, the prefect of Suzhou, and Wu Qing, the newly appointed Bingbeidao, came to watch the ceremony, but Hai Rui, the governor of Yingtian, was invited to attend this memorable completion ceremony.
Cai Guoxi also specially ordered all the magistrates and counties in his province to come to visit and learn from the "Kunshan Experience". Going back is like learning to catch up and strive to be the first
"Can we compete with us?" Zhang Defu, the magistrate of Changzhou County, looked at the miraculous dike and said with a face of resignation: "It is better to recognize the situation clearly and follow Zhao Zhuangyuan's pace."
"Haha, the arrogant Zhang is convinced. It seems that it won't be long before Changzhou County can use cement." Wang Zhizhou from Taicang said with a smile.
"Master Wang's words are not genuine. Didn't you also establish Taikaisi in Taicang?" Yang Chenglin also smiled and said: "Your seventy-mile Yangtze River embankment is only a matter of one or two years, right?"
"Hey, don't do this. If you two are not talking to the governor all day long about building Taihu Lake first, then build Taihu Lake first, how can Jiangnan Group put you ahead of us?" Wang Zhizhou said angrily: "We have two directors. of!"
"Hehe" Yang Chenglin looked careless and said with a smile: "Isn't this last year's storm and Taihu Lake just flooded?"
"When does Taihu Lake not flood? Compared with the Yangtze River, it is just a bathtub." Wang Zhizhou said depressedly.
"Brother Terry, there is nothing to rush about. Look at Kunshan. The 300-mile embankment was repaired in just over half a year. What does our little project mean? It will all be solved during my term of office." Zhang Defu smiled and patted Wang. Zhizhou's arm.
"That's true." Wang Zhizhou also laughed, feeling that he really didn't need to be so anxious.
On the side, Chang Shuxun County and Jiading County Magistrate also joined Xin Xing, begging the three of them to introduce Zhao Zhuangyuan later.
Only Jin Xuezeng, the magistrate of Chongming County, and Yi Kejiu, the magistrate of Wujiang County, did not come together for a long time.
The former had already gone to show his courtesy to his master, while the latter really had no shame in approaching him.
Last year, as soon as Zhao Shouzheng took office, he came to beg him in a low voice, hoping to build a Taipu River in Wujiang County to discharge floods to relieve the pressure on Wusong River. But Yi Kejiu refused.
The two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel that time. Yizhi County took advantage of the fact that the county had hundreds of miles of stone ponds and really did not give Zhao Zhuangyuan any face. At that time, Zhao Shouzheng slapped the table and swore that he would build a 200-mile stone pond and let Wujiang County have a taste of what it would be like to soak in the water for half a year!
Yizhi County didn¡¯t believe it at all at that time, and even teased them that they wouldn¡¯t be able to repair it even after a hundred years!
Who would have known that in just half a year, what others had boasted about would be realized, and it would be a 300-mile embankment.
Besides wanting to call out Niu Boyi, he now wanted to ask where he could buy regret medicine.
Xiao Yi also wants cement
??~~
At this time, the crackling sound of firecrackers sounded, attracting everyone's attention to the lake embankment.
The celebration has reached the most important part, ¡®setting up a monument to commemorate it¡¯.
In the octagonal stele pavilion on the embankment, Yingtian Governor Hai Rui and Su Songbing, Wu Qing, removed the red silk from the stele.
The two-meter-high bluestone stele is engraved with an inscription written by Mr. Fengzhou Wang Shizhen, describing in detail the great achievements Zhao Zhuangyuan has created in the six months since he took office, called "The Record of Zhao Gongdi".
Because the article is too condescending and will make the viewer feel frustrated that he is too uneducated, so he has hidden it.
Quan excerpts this period of history recorded in "History of the Old Ming Dynasty: Biography of Zhao Shouzheng" for the benefit of readers:
¡®¡Shouzheng went to Zhiwu County, but before he took office, the Iron-Hipped Number One Scholar had already made a name for himself in the south of the Yangtze River. The prefect Cai Gong believed that great talents should not be used lightly. Coinciding with the flood in Kunshan, city walls were destroyed, farm buildings were flooded, and people and animals were washed away. So he recommended him to be the governor of Lin Gong. The duke summoned him for a talk and introduced him to an ancient sage, saying: "Kunshan is not yours but yours, so how about you submit to me? Is that okay?" ¡¯ The public said with emotion, ¡®It¡¯s absolutely necessary. Then he changed his knowledge to Kunshan. ¡¯¡¯
¡®If we keep upright and reach Kunshan, the city will be defeated, and the rich people will fight to escape the water. Shouzheng said: "When the rich people come out, the people are shaken. Who can I keep?" I am here, water can never defeat the city! ¡¯ They were driven back in, but the people were still worried and uneasy. Keeping his integrity, he stayed in the hut on the embankment and led his son out with a bamboo basket. The Kunshan elders felt this and said: "The county magistrate still does not shy away from Tu Liao. We, the villains, must obey your orders!" ¡¯ So tens of thousands of officials and people came to the embankment to pledge to live and die together with the river embankment. ¡¯
¡°There is a registered deputy capital censor, Pan Gong, who comes from Huzhou to help. It rained day and night that year, the floods were the worst in decades, the river embankments were crumbling, and dangers abounded. If the commander is upright and his command is stable, he can talk and laugh freely, the army and the people will be at peace. He also ordered officials to separate and defend the rivers, and built grid, Yao, Lu, and Yue embankments to protect the rivers and ponds, and ultimately ensure that the county was safe. ¡¯
¡®Find the plum blossoms and the danger will be solved. Shouzheng discussed with Pan Gong and others and asked for 100,000 civilians to build a stone pond for a hundred years. There was a man named Yigong from a neighboring county who once said: "The number one scholar is a man who has been talking so much that it will be difficult to achieve in a hundred years." ¡¯ When the Duke heard this, he laughed and said, ¡®How can summer insects talk about ice? ¡¯ Nai ordered Zihao to use lime as the material to make cement, and then mixed this material with rough stone to form a embankment. It was two miles long in one day, and the embankment was built in one month. It was considered a miracle both at home and abroad. ¡¯
¡®It took half a year to lead the officials and the people to build a 300-mile dike. He stayed in civilian clothes and walked on foot, practicing painting day and night. When the heat is high, the roof is not open, and when the cold is severe, the fur is not covered. He said: "The people are working hard, how can I bear to live alone?" ¡¯ The work was completed in the first month of the following year. From then on, Kunshan was no longer flooded and the farmland was profitable. It became a land of fish and rice, and the people knew the joy of living. However, he is as haggard as an old farmer. ¡¯
¡®During the flood control period, the public carried out a national health campaign to eliminate schistosomiasis and eliminate the four pests, which is also a move that will benefit the future. The people of Kunshan still call him "Father Zhao", saying, "Without Father Zhao, there would be no Jade Kunshan"'
According to "Selected Notes on the History of the Old Ming Dynasty", it says:
"People often underestimate Zhao Zi's great achievements and belittle the great achievements of Zhao Gong. For example, they use Da Su to despise Lao Su, saying, 'One person has attained the Tao, and a father is valued by his son.'" ¡¯
"What's more, they slandered the Duke as a 'puppet', a 'cone bucket', and a 'repeater'. However, looking at Zhao Gong's feats in Kunshan, this is a big fallacy. Wow, the talents of the number one scholar and the abilities of the prime ministers and assistants are turned a blind eye by the debaters. Is their conscience like dog food? ¡¯
