    The rain kept falling and the atmosphere became more solemn.

    After listening to his elder brother¡¯s introduction, Zhao Shouzheng felt like he was panicking.

    But in front of his disciple, he had to force himself to calm down and said: "Fortunately, I'm just going to be an agent for a few months, so I don't have to think so much."

    "How is that possible?" Unexpectedly, the three of them exclaimed in unison, extinguishing the fantasies of this newcomer to the officialdom.

    Second Master Zhao was dissatisfied. His eldest brother and Zhao Hao did not dare to refute, so he glanced at Jin Xuezeng and said, "Gongmen, this is your first time as an official. How do you know it's impossible?"

    "Hey, Master, it's true that this is the first time we're an official, but we have long eyes, a mouth, and a brain." Jin Xuezeng squatted on the chair and said with a smile:

    "I was curious when I was observing politics in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. There were 1,427 counties in the country, including the two capitals and local government offices. There were no more than 2,000 seventh-rank officials. And the number of seventh-rank officials registered in the Wenxuan Department  But there are more than 3,000 people. Master, have you ever thought about where the extra 1,000 seventh-grade officials went?"

    "Where are you going?" Zhao Shouzheng asked in a muffled voice.  As soon as he became an official, he went to the Hanlin Academy to copy the "Yongle Dadian". His understanding of these sects was completely incomparable to that of the Golden Monkey.

    "They were sent to various ministries and provinces as candidates." Jin Xuezeng laughed and said: "Don't talk about the six ministries, just talk about the provinces, the governor's yamen, the governor's yamen, the chief envoy's yamen, the inspector's yamen, and even the Daotai yamen and the governor's yamen.  There are always candidates for county magistrates. These candidates have to let Shangguan work as a cattle servant for a few years until a vacancy becomes available before they can take office. It is not uncommon for them to wait for ten or eight years."

    "Actually, it's not just that there are no vacancies, it's that the governor-general envoys have reserved all the good positions for their own people, and of course it's not their turn." Zhao Shouye nodded, and continued what Jin Xuezeng said:

    "So, second brother, there are a lot of candidate magistrates who are proficient in local government affairs waiting in the Yamen. The Minister Bird said that there is a shortage of manpower and you must be the one, they are all lies!"

    "That's right, it's just because dad took the vacancy out of Beijing and I can't make you a substitute, otherwise I'll just let you sit on the bench." Zhao Hao also said in a deep voice: "So dad should abandon the unrealistic illusions and do a good job  Prepare to take root in Kunshan!¡±

    "Ah" Mr. Zhao's face turned pale when he heard this. This was completely different from what he had imagined.

    ¡°In his imagination, if he wins the imperial examination and becomes the county magistrate, he should take a title, marry a childwell, cross it out and re-iterate, otherwise his life will be in danger.

    In his imagination, being a county magistrate should mean having a bureaucracy when he ascends to the palace, having a guard of honor when he goes out, being domineering and blessed, and having endless happiness.

    Why does it sound like this is not the case at all?

    "Son, son, think of a way quickly." Second Master Zhao anxiously urged Zhao Hao: "You must have a way to pass the test. If you don't think of it, just think hard. Nothing in this world can stump you!"

    ??~~

    Looking at Mr. Zhao who was so panicked, Zhao Hao smiled so happily.

    Seeing his son laughing and leaning back and forth, Mr. Zhao had no choice but to smile bitterly, give a thumbs up and said: "You should indeed enjoy the hardships, my son is so heroic!"

    Jin Xuezeng felt ashamed when he heard this.  Senior brother is not here, so I should take on the responsibility of flattering him. How can I let the master be responsible for flattering the master?

    "No, father. It was because I was blinded before and couldn't see Mount Tai." Zhao Hao shook his head, wiped the tears from his laughter and said, "We shouldn't have gone to Suzhou in the first place, but should have gone to Kunshan!"

    "Why?" Mr. Zhao asked in confusion.  Zhao Shouye and Jin Xuezeng also had question marks on their faces, but no one dared to question him because of his prestige.

    Zhao Hao asked Jin Xuezeng to bring Su Song¡¯s map, then pointed to the location of Kunshan and said in a deep voice to the three of them:

    "Look! Kunshan is adjacent to Suzhou City to the west, Jiading Prefecture to the east, Taicang Changshu to the north, and Songjiang Prefecture to the south. It is the core area of ??the entire Susong area!"

    ¡°And the Wusong River runs through the entire territory of Kunshan, and the river network is criss-crossing and connected to various states and counties. The transportation is extremely convenient. It is simply a heaven-sent treasure!¡±

    Zhao Hao was already completely excited.

    Although he couldn¡¯t tell them that four hundred years later, Kunshan would rank first among the top 100 counties in the country for fifteen consecutive years, higher than many other provinces!

    But just analyzing the geographical conditions of Kunshan is enough to make people excited, right?

    But Zhao Shouzheng and the other three were not excited.

    Jin Xuezeng tried his best to flatter him and said: "Master's vision is just different"

    "Everything you said is right." The uncle smiled bitterly and said to Zhao Hao: "But as long as Taihu Lake is around, Kunshan is just a water hole. No matter how good the location is, it's useless!"

    "Then start with water conservancy so that Kunshan will no longer be flooded!" Zhao Hao said solemnly: "I can guarantee that within two years?, Kunshan will get rid of the bad reputation of Shuiwozi!  "

    "Hiss"

    "Hiss" Zhao Shouzheng and Jin Xuezeng sucked in the cold air at the same time, shouting in their hearts, it's coming, it's coming!  The great prophecy is coming!

    But before, Zhao Hao always predicted the fate of a certain person, but this time he was targeting a county, a county that has been troubled by Taihu Lake for more than two hundred years

    Is his skill enough?

    Zhao Shouye has never seen the power of Mr. Zhao¡¯s great prophecy, so he still shook his head and said: "How is it possible in two years? This is a problem that has not been solved for two hundred years."

    "It will definitely be solved within two years!" Zhao Hao punched the map and said flatly:

    "A real man should live here, make contributions to all generations, and leave his name in history!"

    ??~~

    Mr. Zhao¡¯s great prophecies are all supported by facts, and this time is no exception¡ª¡ª

    Because next year, the newly appointed Governor Yingtian will use his strong decisiveness and execution ability to mobilize the Susong and Song Dynasties to fully manage the lower reaches of Taihu Lake!

    The most important part is to change the main road from Taihu Lake to the sea from Wusong River to Huangpu River!

    Historically known as "Capturing Song at Huangpu"!

    In less than a year¡¯s tenure as governor of Yingtian, he solved the thousand-year flood problem caused by poor water discharge in Taihu Lake.

    Since then, the floods in Taihu Lake have been greatly reduced, the Susong area has become more prosperous, and the bright and glorious Yangtze River Delta area in the future has been officially formed.

    The two places that have benefited the most are Shanghai and Kunshan.

    Shanghai currently occupies a small corner in the Su-Song pattern, and will have to wait until the port is opened before it can realize its dividends.

    But since then, the change in Kunshan¡¯s situation has been immediate!

    ¡°Isn¡¯t today¡¯s Kunshan the founding place given to him and his son by God?

    Hearing his son's determination, Zhao Shouzheng finally put his heart back in his stomach and said, "How about giving it a try?"

    "Go! The sooner the better!" Zhao Hao nodded heavily and laughed: "Don't those bastards in Suzhou City want to see my father's joke? Let's let them take a good look. Gold shines everywhere!"

    "Aren't they afraid that we will influence them to dominate? Then I will let Kunshan replace Suzhou City and become the new center of Susong! Let them completely clean up their ears!"
