Chapter 15: A Heavenly Gift!

The rain kept falling, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn.

After listening to the introduction of the eldest brother, Zhao Shouzheng felt that he had panicked into a dog.

But in front of his apprentice, he still had to force his composure and said, "Fortunately, I'm just going to act for a few months, so I don't have to think about it so much." ”

"How is that possible?" Who knew that the three of them spoke in unison, extinguishing the illusions of this newcomer to officialdom.

Second Master Zhao was not convinced, the eldest brother and Zhao Hao did not dare to refute, so he glanced at Jin Xuezeng and said: "Arch, you are also the first time to be an official, how do you know that it is impossible?" ”

"Hehe, Master, it's true that we're officials for the first time, but we have long eyes, long mouths, and long brains." Jin Xuezeng squatted on the chair and laughed:

"When I was observing the government of the Ministry of Officials, I was curious that there were no more than 2,000 official positions in the 1,427 counties in the country, plus the seven official positions in the two capitals and the local yamen. However, there are more than 3,000 seven-rank officials registered in the Anthology Division. Has the ancestor thought about it, where did the extra thousand seven-rank officials go? ”

"Where?" Zhao Shouzheng asked in a sullen voice. As soon as he became an official, he entered the Hanlin Academy to copy the "Yongle Canon", and his understanding of these doors and ways could not be compared with the golden monkey.

"I was sent to the ministries and provinces as alternates." Jin Xuezeng said with a smile: "Don't talk about the six departments, just the provinces, the governor's yamen, the governor's yamen, the political envoy's yamen, the inspection envoy's yamen, and even the Daotai yamen and the governor's yamen, there are alternate magistrates everywhere." These alternate magistrates have to let Shangguan serve as cattle for a few years, and they can only take office when there is a vacancy. It is not uncommon for a first to wait for ten or eight years. ”

"In fact, it's not just that there are no vacancies, but the governors and envoys leave all the good positions to their own people, and of course it's not their turn." Zhao Shouye nodded, and then Jin Xuezeng's words said:

"So second, there are candidates in the yamen who are proficient in local government affairs and waiting for them, and the bird squire is saying that there is a shortage of manpower, it must be you, it is all a liar!"

"That's right, that is, because Daddy is out of Beijing, I can't let you be a waitlist, otherwise I will directly let you sit on the bench." Zhao Hao also said in a deep voice: "So Daddy should throw away his unrealistic fantasies and get ready to take root in Kunshan!" ”

"Ah......" Second Master Zhao's face turned white when he heard this, this is completely different from what he imagined.

In his imagination, if he became a county magistrate, he should take a number and marry a young ...... Uh, cross it out and reiterate it, otherwise your life will be in danger.

In his imagination, being the county magistrate should be promoted to the hall with a row of officials, a guard of honor when going out, a prestige and a blessing, and boundless happiness.

Why doesn't that sound like that at all?

"Son, son, think of a way." Zhao Erye anxiously urged Zhao Hao and said: "You must have a way to pass the test, if you can't think of it, think hard, nothing in this world can stump you!" ”

~~

Looking at Zhao Erye, who was panicked, Zhao Hao smiled, laughing heartily.

Seeing his son laughing, leaning forward and back, Zhao Erye had no choice but to smile bitterly, gave a thumbs up and said: "It is true that you should be happy in suffering, my son is heroic!" ”

Jin Xuezeng was ashamed when he heard this. The senior brother is not here, I should take the responsibility of praising me, how can I let the master be responsible for patting the master's ass?

"No, father. It was before me that I was blind, and I couldn't see Mount Tai. Zhao Hao shook his head, wiped the tears from laughter and said: "We shouldn't go to Suzhou at the beginning, but Kunshan!" ”

"Why?" Second Master Zhao asked puzzled. Zhao Shouye and Jin Xuezeng are also full of question marks, but under someone's authority, no one dares to question him.

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 in the west, Jiading Mansion in the east, Taicang Changshu in the north, and Songjiang Mansion in the south, which is the core area of the entire Susong area! ”

"Moreover, the Wusong River runs through the whole territory of Kunshan, and the river network is criss-crossed and connected to various states and counties, and the transportation is extremely convenient, which is simply a God-given treasure land!"

Zhao Hao was already completely excited.

Although he couldn't tell them that in 400 years, Kunshan would rank first among the top 100 counties in the country for 15 consecutive years, which was higher than the chickens in many provinces and the whole province!

But just analyzing the geographical conditions of Kunshan is enough to make people's blood boil, right?

But Zhao Shouzheng and the three did not boil.

Jin Xuezeng tried his best to pat himself on the back and said: "Master's vision is just different......"

"You're right." Uncle said to Zhao Hao with a wry smile: "But there is Taihu Lake in one day, Kunshan is a water nest, no matter how good the location is, it is useless!" ”

"Then start with water conservancy, so that Kunshan will no longer be flooded!" Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "I dare to guarantee that within two years, Kunshan will get rid of the notoriety of Shuiwozi!" ”

"Hiss......"

"Hiss......" Zhao Shouzheng and Jin Xuezeng gasped at the same time, and shouted wildly in their hearts, here it is, here it is! The Great Prophecy It's coming!

But Zhao Hao had predicted someone's fate before, but this time he was targeting a county, a county that had been plagued by Taihu Lake for more than 200 years......

Is his skill enough?

Zhao Shouye hadn't seen the power of Zhao Gongzi's great prophecy technique, so he still shook his head there and said, "Two years, how is it possible?" This is a problem that has not been solved for 200 years. ”

"Within two years, it will definitely be solved!" Zhao Hao punched on the map and said categorically:

"The eldest husband should live here, make a contribution for eternity, and leave a name in history!"

~~

Zhao Gongzi's great prophecy is supported by facts, and this time is no exception-

Because next year, the new governor Yingtian will use his strong determination and execution to urge the second government of Susong to make every effort to govern the lower reaches of Taihu Lake!

One of the most important links is to change the main road of Taihu Lake into the sea from Wusong River to Huangpu River!

Known as 'Huangpu Capture Song' in history!

In less than a year's tenure, the governor of Yingtian solved the problem of thousand-year-old flooding caused by the poor discharge of Taihu Lake.

Since then, the floods of Taihu Lake have been greatly reduced, the Susong area has become more and more prosperous, and the future of the brilliant Yangtze River Delta has been formally formed.

Among them, the two places that have benefited the most are Shanghai and Kunshan.

Shanghai is currently in a corner of the Susong pattern, and it will not be able to cash out the dividends until after the opening of the port.

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

Isn't Kunshan today the foundation given by God to his father and son?

Hearing that his son was so determined, Zhao Shouzheng finally put his heart back in his stomach and said, "Why don't you try it?" ”

"Go! The sooner the better! Zhao Hao nodded heavily and laughed: "Those eight lambs in Suzhou City, don't you want to see your father's jokes?" Let's let them take a good look at it, it's gold that shines anywhere! ”

"Aren't they afraid that we will influence them to be powerful? Then Ben Gongzi let Kunshan replace Suzhou City and become the new center of Susong! Let them be completely clean! ”
