Xu Wei and Wu Chengen's old couple...the writing was erroneously crossed out and Zhao Shouzheng did not inform him of the inspector of the Censor.

In fact, it was useless to notify, because coincidence that today is the day when Mr. Zhao Er of the magistrate of Kunshan and Yi Kejiu, the magistrate of Wujiang.

What we are talking about is the historical legacy of harming neighbors.

Because Wujiang County carried out large-scale construction of the port pier, a stone pond known as 100 miles was built, which made the South Taihu Lake a name-destructible and completely lost its flood discharge function.

As soon as Taihu Lake comes, all water will pour into Wusong River and pour towards Kunshan.

Almost equal to the rainwater of all prefectures and counties along Taihu Lake, more than 70% of the rivers and rains flow to Kunshan. Who can resist this?

In addition, Songjiang in the downstream is not worry-free, the upstream is coming in a fierce manner, and the downstream is not drained smoothly, which leads to flooding in Kunshan County every year.

After achieving a phased victory in Meixun, Zhao Erye, who had increased his confidence, set his goal on continuing to work hard, defeating the summer flood, and protecting the autumn harvest in Kunbei.

Unexpectedly, the gentry and people who were originally excited to save the summer harvest all retreated.

They told Mr. Zhao Er to give up, this is an impossible task to complete.

The master of water control Pan Jixun also told Zhao Shouzheng that this pitiful earth dike in Songjiang County alone would not be able to withstand the summer flood that was several times more fierce than Meixun!

The surging river tide when the hurricane comes will destroy the earth embankment that the people have worked hard to build, and there is no luck...

Unless a stone pond as tall and strong as Wujiang County can be built.

In other words, the upstream Wujiang and downstream Huating can open the gates to discharge floods, so that the pressure in Kunshan County will be reduced by at least half, and there is still a front line that may withstand the floods.

Mr. Zhao compared these two conditions and thought it would be easier to try to convince the neighboring county.

So a few days ago he wrote a letter to Wujiang County and asked the magistrate to discuss the issue of flood diversion.

Yi Zhixian was a Jinshi with a previous record and was in the same age as the famous Kunshan scholar Gui Youguang.

Zheng Ruo was once Gui Youguang's brother-in-law. Because of this relationship, he volunteered to go to Wujiang County to deliver a letter. Finally, he told County Magistrate Yi to agree to meet today.

Because the magistrate was not allowed to leave his jurisdiction without permission, the two sides made an appointment to meet on the Wusong River at the junction of the two counties.

But should we meet here on the Takata that belongs to Wujiang County, or at the Takata that belongs to Kunshan County?

In the end, the person who asked for help made a concession and came to meet in Takata, Wujiang.

In fact, whether it is on the top of Takata or Takata, this location is at a disadvantage for Mr. Zhao Er, because it has to go upstream from Nanshan Temple to nearly 80 miles before reaching the county.

Today, Zhao Shouzheng set out before dawn. Sixteen sailors rowed hard, but they did not arrive at the river near Takatashan until noon.

~~

In that room, County Magistrate Yi had been waiting by the river for a long time.

Seeing the official ship under the banner of "Kunshan County Yamen" coming, County Magistrate Yi walked out of the cabin and waved to Zhao Shouzheng on the deck.

Mr. Zhao quickly hurriedly hugged his fists and returned the salute. When the two official boats stopped side by side, he came to the boat in Wujiang County with the help of Fan Datong and Cai Ming.

"The top scholar, I have been long-lasting!" Yi Zhixian was very short and had a bad appearance. When he saw Zhao Erye, who was able to take the top scholar, he felt a little tired and didn't love him anymore.

"Brother Fengpo, I'm lucky to meet you." Fortunately, Zhao Shouzheng's thick lines were still enthusiastic and greeted Yi Zhixian County: "For the sake of the county, Brother Lao Fengpo took the time to make trouble, which is really a sin."

"Haha, wherever you are, I have long wanted to see the world-famous top iron scholar. Is it time? There will always be a squeeze." County Magistrate Yi adjusted his smile and reached out to invite Mr. Zhao into the cabin.

This official boat in Wujiang County was actually changed to a pleasure boat. Although the outside of the boat was painted with black paint and no carvings, it looked solemn and solemn, with a full official look. The inside was carved with beams and painted roofs, like palaces.

Under the half-covered curtain decorated with scarlet silk ribbons, there is a bright window with white silk lightly applied to the white silk. The floor under the window is covered with luxurious scarlet Persian carpets, and the round table of Baxian is supported. The cups and cups on the table are all made of blue and white. Fresh fruits and exquisite desserts are all neatly placed.

If it weren't for the Silk and Bamboo Song Girl, Mr. Zhao would have thought he had boarded the flower boat on the Qinhuai River.

He always felt that when an official is an official, he had to be an official. Will this extravagant and luxurious approach make the people feel comfortable when they see it?

This is what Mr. Zhao is full and doesn’t know that the hungry man is hungry. He comes to be an official with a hardship mentality, but others come to enjoy the happiness.

Seeing the surprise in Zhao Shouzheng's eyes, Yi Zhixian explained with a smile: "Brother, I am an official in Wujiang, Tofu, Wujiang, I am not greedy and honest, I am just a little more particular about food, drink, accommodation and transportation. Isn't it very reasonable?"

"Very reasonable." The biggest advantage of Mr. Zhao Er is that he never forces others to be like himself.

"please."

"please."

The two of them smiled and the maid poured three Wujiang dishes for the guests.

"This Taoist tea is called Waiting Emperor Tea. The second is smoked bean tea, and the third is clear tea. It is sweet first, then salty and then light." Yi Kejiu explained to Mr. Zhao: "It is our Wujiang hospitality method."

Zhao Shouzheng came one by one and praised him endlessly: "It's like the various aspects of life, and after drinking it, it's a lasting taste."

"Hehe yes, you and my brothers serve as officials in the local area. Isn't that just the feeling?" Yi Kejiu smiled faintly:

"It's like you, brother, you are a new official, and the officials, civil and gentry under your rule are all flattering, and naturally they are as sweet as mixing oil from honey. But as the days go by, everyone can't hold on. When the true colors are revealed, they should be disgusted with each other and dislike each other. When they are about to leave, everyone has no intention of making trouble. They are accommodated and abandoned each other, and naturally they are as dull as water."

"Brother Fengpo's words are really sensible." Zhao Shouzheng nodded in admiration, thinking to himself that all the seniors speak well, so I have to learn more.

"It's nothing. This is just my personal feeling when Brother Yu became an official in Wujiang." Yi Kejiu waved his hand and smiled: "From the sweetness at the beginning, to the disgust of each other later, to the current stage of "slight as water", I just let out a few words of emotion."

"Oh, Brother Fengpo is going to be promoted?" Zhao Shouzheng said happily for him when he heard this.

"It's almost the same. We'll be in full force at the end of the year. It's difficult for us to be an official in Suzhou Prefecture." Yi Kejiu sighed and said, "Everyone is waiting to come to the paradise on earth to enjoy a few years of blessings."

As he said that, he looked at Zhao Shouzheng and smiled apologetically: "Of course, the situation in Kunshan is special. However, with my brother's background, you will be free from the sea of ​​suffering in less than two years."

"Thank you, brother Ji Yan, but Zhao has made up his mind to not take off his broken hat of "Zhaohua Kunshan" and not leave!" Zhao Shouzheng was moved by himself after saying that.

I thought to myself, I didn’t even realize that I still have the potential to be a good official…

"Haha, it is a blessing for the people of Kunshan who are willing to do things steadily by my brother." County Magistrate Yi picked up a cup of three white wine and met with Zhao Shouzheng. "I won't be able to do it, brother Yu, no one listens to anything he says now. People are pinching their fingers and waiting for me to get out."

Since County Magistrate Yi sat down, he was blocking Zhao Shouzheng's words in and out.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Mr. Zhao didn't know that he didn't even look at the atmosphere, and the lines were thicker and outrageous.

Old Yi has said this, but he is still saying to himself: "Before the man leaves office, he will do his best to this county no matter what. We Kunshan people will remember your kindness..."
