Zhao Shouzheng has already completed reporting to the ministries, and after waiting for the governor to meet him, he can go to Suzhou City to meet the bigwigs in the mansion.

Normally, when the prayer note is delivered to the governor's yamen, it will take five to seven days at the earliest to be summoned.

Who knew that as soon as he returned home that day, Fan Datong, who stayed behind, reported that someone from the governor's yamen came today and ordered Zhao Shouzheng to see him early tomorrow morning.

"I was going to go to Qinhuai River to have fun in vain, but I don't have time to go now." Xu Wei sighed regretfully when he heard this: "Hurry up and pack up and get ready to take office." ”

The reason is very simple, this time I was summoned just one day after the worship post. Apparently the Governor had passed over the other seekers to see him in advance.

Everyone is not related to each other, and the dignified governor of the heavenly patrol does not need to look at anyone's face, so naturally there is an urgent matter to do.

At this juncture, it can almost be asserted that it is because the flood situation has deteriorated.

"Don't sleep tonight." Xu Wei said to Zhao Shouzheng: "Good students prepare to prepare, tomorrow is a big exam." I heard that the current governor is Lin Run, but he is a person who can't rub sand in his eyes and can't tolerate half ambiguity! ”

"Ah, so terrible?" Zhao Shouzheng gasped.

"The owner, Xu Wenchang is not alarmist." Wu Chengen also persuaded from the side: "Lin Zhongcheng is different from ordinary feudal officials, this is a ruthless character." Yan Shifan, Yan Maoqing, Luo Longwen...... Half of the Yan Party was planted in his hands. And he is well versed in government affairs, he is very clever, and he is not good at preparing for life, he can really take off your official hat, so that you don't have to take office. ”

"Then please help the two of you," Zhao Hao said with a straight face: "Let's practice with my father in advance."

"It's a duty." Wu Chengen is responsive to his bright light.

Xu Wei had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

~~

It was still raining the next day.

Zhao Shouzheng was dressed neatly and took a sedan chair to the Yingtian Inspector's Yamen on West Chang'an Street.

On the big flat in front of the yamen, there is a blue flag with a bucket three or four feet high, with a line of golden characters written on it:

'The Prime Minister of the Prime Minister's Grain Reserves, Admiral, Military Affairs and Governor of Yingtian Ten Mansions'!

The governor of Yingtian can not only govern the place of Yingtianfu, but also the military and government of the nine prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River such as Susong Changzhen are within its jurisdiction, and it is also called the 'governor of Jiangnan'.

Its jurisdiction is the richest and most prosperous area in the Ming Dynasty, and the tax accounts for one-third of the world, so the governor of Ying Tian is worthy of the name of "the first fu in the world".

In front of the eight-character wall of the governor's gate, a pair of stone lions show off their might.

Behind the closed gate, sixteen sword-wielding governor's guards, wearing hats and ponchos, remained motionless in the pouring rain.

Zhao Shouzheng got out of the sedan chair early and asked Fang Wen to hurry up and go to Tongyu, and he followed behind with an umbrella.

The two waited for tea in the rain again before the door came out, asked the guards to open the gate, and let Zhao Shouzheng come in.

Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly did not squint, and followed Menzi along the corridor, through the lobby, the second hall and the third hall, and came to the outside of the governor's signing room.

The chief of the outer room of the signing room went in to report, and after a while, he let Zhao Shouzheng in.

Second Master Zhao entered the signing room, didn't dare to look around, and hurriedly gave a big gift to the governor.

"Zhao Zhixian is exempt." A young voice rang out. "Please be seated."

Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly thanked the governor, put down his butt on the official hat chair against the wall, and then sat upright.

Only then did he dare to glance at the young governor who was excessive.

I'll go, it's so handsome......

Zhao Erye asked himself that his appearance was not bad, with fine skin and tender meat, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his nose and mouth were also very good-looking, and he did not look old.

can be compared with this governor wearing a three-grade official robe, and he is suddenly dwarfed and bleak.

This governor is simply human-I saw that his facial features were well-defined, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his plump spirit was like jade, and he was handsome and extraordinary.

Two lines of poetry popped up in Zhao Erye's mind:

'The stones are like jade, and the pines are like emeralds. Lang Yan is unique, and there is no other in the world. ’

If it weren't for the fact that his sideburns were a little gray, no one would doubt that the governor was twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

But it was those two whites that gave him the majesty of a feudal official, which made people dare not look at it.

~~

This governor, whose surname is Lin Mingrun, is indeed not very old, only thirty-eight years old.

Lin Run is only two years older than Zhao Shouzheng, and everyone has already become the governor of Jiangnan, and Zhao Erye has just become a jinshi...... And it's only by opening and hanging.

'The gap between people is so big, why is it so big?' "'Second Master Zhao thought to himself.

"Zhao Zhixian should have thought of it, why did this court see you in advance?" At this time, Lin Run spoke, and his voice was also very good, gentle and calm, very moist.

"Yes." Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly replied: "The lower officials speculate that due to the rain for several days, the water level of Taihu Lake has risen again and again, and the flood situation has become more and more severe. ”

"Yes, the latest horse newspaper this morning is that the water level on the south bank of Taihu Lake has exceeded two feet in previous years." Lin Run said in a deep voice: "The water levels of Dianshan Lake and Chenghu Lake have also exceeded the warning line. ”

The lower reaches of Taihu Lake are not only the country's tax-paying areas, but also the most severely flooded areas. A set of means of strict monitoring and rapid transmission of flood conditions has long been formed.

The carrier pigeon is the fastest means of transmission, but the heavy rain for several days cannot fly the pigeon to pass the book. I can only settle for the second, use the post delivery system all over the south of the Yangtze River, change horses without changing people, and travel 600 miles a day to report the flood situation!

The flood situation sent from Suzhou can be sent to the governor's yamen in Jinling the next day.

Zhao Shouzheng's heart tightened when he heard this. "So fast? I heard that it only rose by a foot the day before yesterday. ”

"Yes, the water level has risen more than expected." Lin Run nodded and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what this means?" ”

Zhao Shouzheng knew that the examination school from the governor had begun. Hurriedly cheered up and replied:

"Meaning...... Half of Kunshan is already soaked in water. ”

"Which half of Kunshan?"

"South of the Wusong River. Although the topography of Kunshan is high in the south and low in the north, the Dianshan Lake and Chenghu Lake in the south of the county border are seriously reclaimed and have lost their function of regulating and storing water, and as long as the warning water level is exceeded, waterlogging will occur. ”

Fortunately, I took the time to hug the Buddha's feet last night - Xu Wei listed sixteen questions that Lin Run might ask, and helped him answer them one by one with Wu Chengen, and then Zhao Erye memorized them by rote.

"The water overflowed the lake, flowing from south to north, until the southern county border was completely submerged, and then it flowed into the Wusong River." At this time, he read according to the script, and naturally answered the question fluently.

"This adds to the burden on the Wusong River, which is already the main artery of Taihu Lake into the Yangtze River, and the pressure on the south bank greatly increases the risk of the levee bursting."

"To add insult to injury, the lower reaches of the Wusong River are poorly drained and cannot be discharged in time." After Zhao Shouzheng finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at the governor worriedly:

"The upstream pressure, the downstream stagnation, and the middle squeezing, which is why Kunshan County repairs the embankment every year, but breaks the embankment every year."

"Good!" Listening to Second Master Zhao's words, Lin Run's grim expression finally relaxed. nodded appreciatively and said, "Zhao Zhixian has worked hard, and it is better than this hospital imagined." ”

ps. Yesterday I went for a walk during the day, rested a little, and coded these two chapters at night. But the spirit head has recovered, so everyone will see three more chapters today!!
