In Xianyun Hall, the silk and bamboo are leisurely, and the drama of pretending to be a flower face is reading an excerpt from "The History of the Four Apes and Wild Drums" behind the scenes:

"Crazy life! I teach you to play the drums, how do you refer to the east and the west, and compare people to animals? I have a mallet and an iron blade here, so it is not harmful, you watch your tongue and your teeth! ”

On the main seat, Prime Minister Xu looked at Lin Run, and said with a smile: "Zhongcheng is polite, but there are orders, dare not obey?" ”

Zhen Zhenji, Xu Fan and others, who were talking around them, also closed their mouths.

"Yuan Weng really understands the righteousness, and he said it bluntly that night." Lin Run smiled with relief, and then said:

"Susong floods every year, and the people are miserable. This year, there were only two ordinary floods, but they still caused more than 2 million mu of farmland in seven counties to be flooded, and hundreds of thousands of people were affected. If there are frequent floods in the coming year, or if there are super storms and floods, I am afraid that the two prefectures and ten counties will become Zeguo! ”

Elder Xu Ge and the others nodded, as if they thought so.

"It is because of our hospital's painful determination that this winter we will carry out the overall dredging of the lower reaches of Taihu Lake no matter what. Open Taipu and pass Huangpu to at least double Susong's flood discharge capacity, so that next year can be a little more at ease! ”

After Lin Run finished speaking categorically, he looked at Xu Ge Lao and said, "Please also ask Yuan Weng to help the late students and build a thousand achievements for Sang Zi." ”

"Hehe, if you don't get old, how can you often say that it is really a blessing for the people of Jiangnan to have Lin Ruoyu to caress Jiangnan." Xu Ge Lao Chao Zhen Ji smiled, and the prefect and others also smiled and nodded in agreement.

Then Xu Ge Lao Zhengse said: "The old grass people, although they can't carry it on their shoulders and can't lift it in their hands, they are still willing to wave their flags and shout for Zhongcheng and eat the pulp pot." ”

Translation is just, don't look for me, I'm useless, I can't do anything.

"You don't need Yuan Weng to go to the DPRK to ask for help, just take the lead and withdraw some of the fields along the rivers of Wusong, Huangpu and Taipu, so that this hospital can build water conservancy." Lin Run still took care of himself.

Behind the curtain, Hua Mian was still chanting and saying: "This fruit is rude!" ”

"Oh, roar, roar......" Xu Ge said with a smile: "If the rain is assured, the old man has the consciousness to make some sacrifices for his hometown." ”

As he spoke, he changed his words and said: "But before the old decay, he was an official all the year round, and after returning to his hometown, he was recuperating again, and he didn't know anything about his family." You'd better ask someone who understands another day. ”

"Then may I ask Yuan Weng, who understands?" Lin Run asked with a smile.

"The dog should be a little clearer than the old one." Xu Ge said lightly. Although he is no longer in the cabinet, his ability to shake the pot has not fallen at all.

Xu Fan reluctantly took the black pot and carried it on his back, got up and smiled at Lin Run: "Zhongcheng has a tired journey today, let's not talk about business, right?" In the coming day, my third brother and I will make a special trip to report to Zhongcheng. ”

"yes, yes." Zhen Zhenji also smiled and said with a smile: "It is a great thing to renovate Taihu Lake, and our Songjiang Mansion will definitely fully cooperate with Zhongcheng." However, so many rivers pass through this province, why not involve thousands of households? It's not something that can be explained in three or two sentences. ”

"Not in a hurry at this time." Zheng Yue, the county magistrate of Huating, is in the same department as Zhao Erye, and he used this ghost place under the list. Not only the county and Guo, but also the Xu family's big nest of thousands of people, none of them took him seriously.

Poor and helpless Zheng Zhixian, except to be an echo worm, he can only be a dog's leg, and there is no other choice.

Seeing that everyone said this, Lin Run could only press the words first. "Okay, tomorrow, please talk to the two mansions, and this court will have a good consultation with you."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." The Xu brothers smiled on their faces, and their mothers were in their hearts.

~~

Xu Ge was old, Lin Run was also tired from the journey, and after three rounds of drinking, everyone talked for a while and then dispersed.

Zhen Zhenji and Xu Ying sent Lin Run back to the mansion, while Xu Fan helped his old father back to the 'Sleeping Wind Pavilion' to rest.

Father and son walk on a winding waterfront verandah, flanked on the left and right by lakes fragrant with lotus roots.

The lanterns are reflected on the water surface, and the floating light and the starry sky reflect each other, which is really like a fairyland in the cave.

Xu Fan couldn't help but break the silence. "Father, how to reply to the surname Lin tomorrow?"

"What do you think?" Xu Jie's cane struck the ground, and his steps were as steady as he had been back then.

"In the child's humble opinion, how can I say that he is also the governor of Jiangnan, it is not easy to open his mouth, and he can't let his family go home empty-handed."

"Hehe, how much are you going to give him?" Xu Ge smiled noncommittally.

"A few hundred acres will definitely not be able to send him away, a thousand acres, at most two thousand acres will send him away." Xu Fan said carefully.

"Two thousand acres? It's really a cub who sells Yetian and doesn't feel distressed. Xu Jie laughed, looked up at the brilliant lights in the garden like a sea of stars, and couldn't help but sigh:

"When your grandfather was alive, he would never have imagined that his eldest grandson would send people without blinking, and he would take out fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver."

The fields in Songjiang are all cash crops, which are naturally worth more than ordinary paddy fields, and you have no land to buy them for 30 taels of silver per mu.

Because the land and his meow are in the hands of the Xu family.

Saying that, Xu Ge sighed faintly and talked about his family history:

"My Xu family originally farmed in the countryside of Xujiabang for generations. Your great-grandfather's family has many poor children and can't afford to support them, so you can only put your great-ancestor into the Huangfu of Defengqiao, the county town of Zun, as a son-in-law. ”

This family history Xu Fan is naturally clear, he has always been deeply ashamed, and no one is allowed to mention it. But when my father wanted to say, he could only listen.

"Thanks to the blessing of the Huang family, your grandfather was able to go to school and study, and finally became a county prince. The proudest thing about your grandfather in his life was that he changed his surname back to his family name before he went to school for his father. Otherwise, as a father, he will be like Suzhou Shen Zhuangyuan, and go to the imperial examination with other people's surnames. ”

"It's not easy for grandfather." Xu Fan was like a world away.

"But change your surname back, and the Huang Mansion won't pay for me and your doggy uncle to study. Your grandfather is an old man, so he can only save money and save every copper plate. He never eats meat, never burns charcoal in winter, and doesn't wear a new dress for the New Year. ”

"My father didn't see the last of his old man, but only the six words he left me when he was dying." Xu Jie wiped the corners of his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Don't forget the hardships of the past."

"Don't forget how hard it is to go to the past?" Xu Fan repeated, ashamed: "My son has really forgotten his roots." ”

"Actually, my father doesn't want you to be a miser, it's just that this money should be spent, not spent, and not a word can be spent." I only heard Xu Jie's low voice:

"Two thousand acres of land, we feel pain, in Lin Run's eyes? Not even enough to build a ditch? If you don't return tens of thousands of acres, you can't solve the problem at all. ”

"That can't be!" After all, Xu Fan is the species of the Xu family, and the virtue of being diligent and thrifty is engraved in his bones.

"Our family's fifty or sixty thousand taels is the limit, if it weren't for the fact that everyone still has a share of incense, we will take the fifty or sixty thousand taels to those officials, and ensure that we can let him roll up and get out!" Xu Fan immediately changed his mind and said.

"If only you understood." The two of them walked to the door of the Sleeping Wind Pavilion, and when they entered the door, Xu Jie said lightly: "Everyone has his worth, and Governor Ying Tian is worth this money." If it is exceeded, it is beyond its strength. ”

In fact, fifty or sixty thousand taels is really a lot, and in order to make things peaceful, Xu Ge only gave Zhao Hao two thousand taels......

"Yes, father, don't worry." Xu Fan invited the decree, so he naturally knew what to do about it.
