After dinner, we continued to talk about the second watch, and the father and son of the Zhao family said goodbye in a witty manner.

On the way back, the rain still didn't stop, Zhao Hao sat on the boat, watching the water level on the river rise again, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

If this is true upstream, the situation will certainly be worse in the lower reaches of Taihu Lake.

I'm afraid that as soon as my father takes office, he will usher in a big test......

Hey, I don't know if the second master is mentally prepared.

Thinking of this, he glanced back at his father, only to see Zhao Shouzheng sitting cross-legged at the low table, in a daze at the two notes in front of him.

"Why is my father worried?" Relieving the second master's worries is Zhao Gongzi's unshirkable responsibility.

"Hey, how do you say that?" Second Master Zhao scratched his head, looked at his son with a wry smile and said:

"Yesterday, I listened to Zhang Zhixian's experience, and I felt that it was not difficult for my father to be a good county official. But today, after listening to Haigong's teachings again, my father feels that it is really not easy to be a good magistrate! What do you think is going on? ”

"The answer lies in my father's own words." Zhao Hao smiled faintly and said: "It's easy to be a good county official, but it's not easy to be a good county official." ”

"Indeed." Zhao Shouzheng nodded approvingly and said, "After listening to Zhang Zhixian's words, I don't want to work hard for my father at all." But after listening to Haigong's words, my father felt that he had a lot to learn. ”

"It depends on what kind of official my father wants to be." Zhao Hao smiled and opened the window, reaching out to pick up a handful of cold rain.

"It's a comfortable and comfortable old man like Zhang Zhixian; is still like Haigong, who is a self-seeking and hard-working master for the country and the people. Or do you want to take a different path than they do? ”

"What is this......" Zhao Shouzheng couldn't help but make a difficulty, he thought that he would definitely choose the former without hesitation, but for some reason, he couldn't say anything.

"There's no hurry." Zhao Hao shook his head lightly, shook his wet right hand, closed the window and said, "You can think slowly, when you get to Kunshan, you have time to think about this problem." ”

"Uh-huh." Zhao Shouzheng nodded and asked the most practical question: "What about us now?" ”

"Right now." Zhao Hao thought about it and said truthfully: "Obviously, the former method is more in line with our actual situation. But the latter method is more conducive to our good governance of Kunshan. ”

"So what?"

"Let's see if we can put it all together and use it all at the same time." Zhao Hao pinched his chin and said.

Zhao Shouzheng smiled and pushed the two booklets to his son and said, "Then please leave it to my son......"

"I don't understand this kind of thing." Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and said: "The importance of every rule, the size of each long-term power and responsibility, there is a lot of knowledge here, and laymen can't do it." ”

"Then ......," Zhao Shouzheng pondered carefully, "We haven't done this business around us." ”

"Father, rest assured." saw Zhao Hao smile expectantly and said, "I'll find you a knowledgeable one to come back tomorrow." ”

Not only does he know how to do it, it can be said that he is the ancestor of the master, the first master in history.

Zhao Shouzheng was overjoyed when he heard this.

~~

The next day, Zhao Erye got up early in the morning and dragged Zhao Hao up from the bed.

"Hurry up, hurry up, aren't we going to invite a master today?"

"Then there's no need to be in such a hurry, huh?" Zhao Hao rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered, "The sun hasn't come out yet." ”

"When it rains, where does the sun go?" Zhao Shouzheng squatted down to put on his son's boots, and couldn't hold back his excitement and said:

"My father is now thirsty for talent, and I don't want to delay for a moment!"

"It's ...... reversed," Zhao Hao said helplessly.

"Uh......"

Ma Xianglan covered her mouth and chuckled, replaced the second master who had caused chaos, and helped Zhao Hao to groom and dress neatly.

"Let Cai Ming send a car today to take you to Wu Ji." Zhao Hao looked in the mirror, the rejuvenated young man, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Childe doesn't bring your secretary ......" Secretary Ma pretended to be resentful, in fact, she could be alone with Zhao Hao these days, she flew happily, okay?

"The kind of place you go to today, you don't want to go." Zhao Hao chuckled, and saw Secretary Ma's mouth slightly open in the mirror, and he glanced at her helplessly. "Not the kind of place you think."

"The slave didn't think about anything." Secretary Ma smiled and gave Zhao Hao a haircut, but the son couldn't even ask Qi Jingyun and Zheng Yanru to ask for it.

"What are you going to do in Wu Kee?"

"Miss Jiang should still be here, right?"

"Yes." Of course, if you don't go, how will she go? Miss Xue Ying is still waiting to walk with you again.

"That's good, ask her to purchase food, medicine, sacks, ropes...... Zhao Hao thought for a while and said: "Anyway, I want everything that can be used for flood fighting, and I want as much as I want." ”

"Yes, Childe." Ma Xianglan's heart suddenly tightened, and she realized that her comfortable days were coming to an end.

~~

Father and son went out in a carriage today.

A convoy of three troikas headed north along West Huangchenggen Street.

The rain crackled on the wall of the car, making both of them a little anxious.

"This thief, oh my God, why is it endless." Even the sluggish Zhao Shouzheng realized that he was in trouble. "The day I came back, it was clear."

"Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded and said: "Uncle said this morning that his colleagues from the Water Division told him that the water level of Taihu Lake has exceeded the same period in previous years by one foot, and the flood situation this year is destined to be very severe." ”

"Hey, after the governor summons me, let's hurry to Kunshan, I feel more and more uneasy." Zhao Shouzheng sighed and said, "I didn't sleep well last night." ”

"Isn't it because of a thirst for talent?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.

"All of them, all for a reason." Zhao Shouzheng sneered: "In the first half of the night, I was thirsty for talents, and in the second half of the night, I was worried about the people. ”

"Ha ......" said that the father and son laughed at the same time.

The two of them had a good heart, and they both thought that at this time last year, they were still racking their brains for the qualification of the township examination. Unexpectedly, a year later, I began to worry about the safety of one party.

Sometimes this life is a fucking fuck......

Before I knew it, the carriage passed the Taiping Gate and stopped in front of the Taiping Embankment.

When the father and son got out of the car, they saw that on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, the three divisions of Nanjing stood side by side in the shape of a zigzag.

The first to bear the brunt is the Nanjing Criminal Department.

Looking at the sign of the Nanjing Criminal Department, Zhao Shouzheng couldn't help but smile and asked: "Son, could it be that this master is an official of the Criminal Department?" That's a good feeling, at least the name of the sentence, let's not worry. ”

"Hehe, look." Zhao Hao sold it, and his eyes fell on the small island in the middle of Xuanwu Lake, which was the famous Houhu Yellow Book Library.

'It's a pity, it's worthless for a long time,...... Zhao Hao sighed secretly.

Hai Rui told him that by personally clearing the acres of land in Chun'an and Xingguo counties, and by checking the grain tax files when he was working in the household department, it can be clearly seen that although the Yellow Book has been updated for ten years, the record of Ding Mu has been far from the actual situation - the population is only half of the actual population, and the acres of land are only 70%, and more than 80% of them are Zhang Guan Li Dai......

This is where the suffering of the people comes from! ’

Haigong's eight words were still echoing in Zhao Hao's ears, until he saw Hua Shuyang and a five-grade official holding an umbrella and coming out of the yamen.
