Chapter 162: Compare Goods and Throw Away
In the second hall of the governor's line.
Hearing Lin Zhongcheng ask about the disaster situation in Kunshan County, Governor Cai hesitated for a moment, and Fang said softly: "It's okay." ”
"Oh?" Lin Run was taken aback, Wu County was so badly affected, how could Kunshan County be safe and sound?
"Isn't that wrong?"
"Absolutely." Governor Cai also said with a look of disbelief: "Not only did the county report like this, but the officials sent by the government to inspect it also responded like this." Although the 62-mile embankment broke in many places, they built another embankment inside to block the flood. ”
"It is worthy of being the champion, and the Tao is deep." Lin Run couldn't help but praise and said: "When Governor Cai suggested that he come to Kunshan, I thought you didn't want this big magistrate to enter Suzhou City." ”
Saying that, he got up and arched his hand towards Cai Guoxi and said, "Governor Cai, this court wants to apologize to you, you are a good steel to use on the blade." ”
"Zhongcheng praised it." Cai Zhifu was busy and humble.
Yang Chenglin and Zhang Zhixian on the side secretly slandered, he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the surname Zhao, right?
Zhao Shouzheng was born as a champion, and his temperament was as fierce as fire, and he dared to beat the little pavilion elder on the heavenly street, and such an immortal was demoted to become the magistrate. You have to look up and not look down, how can Governor Cai eat it?
In fact, not to mention Cai Zhifu, even the two prefects did not want Zhao Shouzheng to come to Suzhou.
Don't look at Yang Chenglin complaining all day long, what did he not cultivate in his previous life, and his three lives were unfortunate. But being a parent official in the most prosperous city in the world, even if you are not greedy or occupied, working for one year is equivalent to working elsewhere for three years.
And he can also have a good relationship with many gentry who are familiar with the sky, and his career will be of great benefit in the future.
As for Zhang Defu, the magistrate of Changzhou, he originally ruled separately from Yang Chenglin, sitting on an equal footing, and even being able to suppress the other party.
If Zhao Zhuangyuan comes to Wu County, even the prefect has to give him three points, how can he sing the right role? Be a little brother to someone else.
~~
"Speaking of which, Kunshan is very different from previous years." Lin Run stood up and became more and more interested in Kunshan and said, "At this time in previous years, the streets should be full of victims from Kunshan, right?" I haven't seen any of them this year. I heard that most of the original ones went back? ”
"Like." Cai Zhifu was a thief and subconsciously didn't want to meet Zhao Shouzheng, so he never ignored Kunshan.
Naturally, the people below will not touch his head, so they basically do not report the situation in Kunshan.
But at this time, you have to be fat when you slap your swollen face. How can you say that you don't know anything about the situation in your jurisdiction?
He guessed uncertainly: "A few days ago, Kunshan County invited the lower officials to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of their new embankment, as if it was said that a stone pond would be built every month. Whether others believe it or not, the people of Kunshan believe it, so many people ran back to repair the embankment. ”
"Build a stone pond a month?" Lin Run went to Huizhou and other places to inspect after the previous Meixin, and this time he just returned to Suzhou, and it was the first time he heard this statement. "How long?"
"More than sixty miles."
"How is that possible?" Lin Run's first reaction was disbelief, but he immediately remembered that the embankments built by others blocked the hurricane flood the day before yesterday, as if he couldn't question it casually.
He asked Cai Zhifu with interest: "When you attended the ceremony, you didn't ask him, who gave him the courage to say such things?" ”
"This ......" Cai Zhifu couldn't help but be embarrassed and said: "As a government seal, Xia Guan is not good at disturbing the county casually, so I ask Chen Tongzhi to be the representative." ”
It is the unspoken rule of officialdom that the prefect does not easily go down to the county. Lin Run couldn't say anything about him.
But the governor and the governor, the word 'patrol' starts with it, and Lin Run has no such concerns. He smiled and said: "Okay, this hospital will personally visit Zhao Zhuangyuan to see if he has three heads and six arms, why did he compare with his colleagues as soon as he came?" ”
"The lower officials are ashamed." Cai Guoxi sighed secretly, and said in his heart that it was really 'the dragon wants to raise its head, and it can't be pressed'. Fortunately, he didn't deal with Zhao Shouzheng with the Xu family at the beginning, otherwise he would have to worry about whether that guy would sue him in front of the governor.
~~
Lin Run still has something to tell Governor Cai, and after the two magistrates finished reporting, they were sent out.
The two of them whispered as they walked towards the yamen.
"You really don't know why Kunshan can build an embankment so quickly?" Zhang Defu asked.
"I don't know." Yang Chenglin rolled his eyes.
"That's it." Zhang Defu said with a smile.
"Cement." Yang Chenglin depressedly squirted out a series of words from his nostrils.
Over the past half a month, a fleet of 2,000 or 3,000 large and small ships in Kunshan County has circled the two counties day after day. He couldn't even think about it.
The prefect must also know, but he just doesn't want to mention this stubble.
Yang Chenglin was even more reluctant to mention it.
Because of the relationship between the two, he was inevitably compared with Zhao Shouzheng. This time, the two of them showed their faces one by one, and Yang Chenglin didn't want to mention more than one bag.
It is estimated that someone must have laughed at him behind his back and squeezed others out, but he couldn't do it well.
Coincidentally, Zhang Defu is one of them. Seeing that he didn't pull a few times, he felt a cool thing in his heart, and poured salt on his wounds.
"Do you know where the cement comes from?"
"......" Yang Zhixian was silent.
"Xishan Island." Zhang Zhixian replied for him: "I heard that the stones used to build the embankment were all opened from the West Mountain. ”
"......" Yang Zhixian said with a dark face: "Do you know that you still ask?" ”
"I'm curious." Zhang Defu said: "Isn't Xishan Island from your county?" Why is there cement not for your county to use? If you build a circle of embankments along Taihu Lake, can you get this batch? ”
Saying that, he said with envy on his face: "This is an opportunity to leave a name in history." 'Yang Gongdi', it makes people's eyes blush when they think about it. ”
"......" Yang Zhixian couldn't wait to strangle Zhang Defu, and said angrily: "You don't pretend to be stupid here, don't you know what the situation is on Xishan Island now?!" ”
Seeing that he was about to be annoyed and angry, Zhang Defu put away his teasing smile and said in a low voice:
"Are you fooling you? I'm anxious for you. Let me tell you the truth, I have been taking a boat along the Wusong River for a while, it is like a trick, I can build two or three miles a day! ”
"That's a foot high, an old thick stone embankment! And they also built lattice every other mile, how big of a project do you think? They can really do it in a month! ”
"Alas, it's amazing......" Yang Chenglin lowered his head like a deflated ball, completely giving up the idea of competing with Zhao Shouzheng. It can't be compared, it just can't be compared. ”
"I also managed to get a few bags of cement back to study." Zhang Defu said to him in a deep voice: "No kidding, this thing of cement is a magic weapon for political achievements and a sharp weapon for promotion." If we don't get the moon first near the water, it will be two of these ......"
Zhang Defu stretched out his hand into a claw, and raised his middle finger.
"You're the king." Yang Chenglin glanced at him.
