Chapter 206 Inspection

On the eighth day of September, the second phase of the water conservancy project in Kunshan County was completed as scheduled.

After a month of hard work, seventy thousand people and 100,000 young, young, women and children in the county built a fifty-mile long dike along the Jiepu River and Yangcheng Lake, and built a double dike for Yanglintang, a seventeen-mile long dike.

The floods in Kunbei were completely eliminated, and the flooding of 100,000 acres of water on both sides of Yanglintang were once again seen in the light of day!

On the day of the completion of the project, Lin Run, the governor of Yingtian, came to inspect and attended the completion ceremony of Kunshan County with a strong local flavor, and also made a passionate speech.

After the ceremony ended, the villagers returned to the city to celebrate... In fact, after eating and drinking, Lin Zhongcheng, accompanied by Zhao Shouzheng, went to inspect the Wusong River embankment that had been repaired before.

Lin Zhongcheng inspected very carefully and brought a small hammer to knock on the river embankment here and there to personally inspect the construction quality.

Zhao Hao was also mixed in a large number of escorts. It was not that he wanted to join in the fun, but that Lin Run asked him to accompany him today.

Naturally, the will of the highest local officials cannot be violated. Mr. Zhao didn't even dare to wear sunglasses, and even put on the eighth-rank green official robe that he had never touched since he came to Jiangnan. Following a group of guys wearing blue and green official robes, they were far behind Lin Run and his father.

Looking at Lin Run's serious look, he whispered to Xiong Dianshi beside him: "He's knocking a hammer?"

"No." Xiong Dianshi nodded and said softly: "The young master's man has been fucking with a big iron hammer for a long time but has no chance. What is the use of Zhongcheng's little hammer?"

"Just give me a hammer." Mr. Zhao rolled his eyes.

"Puchi..." Xiong Dianshi made him laugh. After returning from Jinling, although he was still an old bear who could eat people in front of others, he became a little bear who loved to laugh at Mr. Zhao.

The two of them were chatting and laughing, which attracted the glare of a blue-robed official in front of them.

"Do you know that you are disrespectful to Zhongcheng? What's your name?"

"My name is Ni Daye, what's your name?" Mr. Zhao was bored, so he immediately took out sunglasses from his sleeve and put them on the bridge of his nose.

"I am the judge of Songjiang, Tian Baiguang!" The official coldly glanced at the two green-headed flies-like officials, and saw one of them having orioles on their chests and the other having a family sparrow.

He regarded them both as miscellaneous officials in Kunshan County and increasingly ignored them. "One is eighth-rank, the other is not in the ordinary, no wonder he doesn't understand the rules."

"You understand?" Zhao Hao had to unfold his fan, and saw a line of big words written on it, "No one understands better than me."

"You..." Tian Tongzong felt that he was being teased and couldn't help but spit, "You know what's the point!"

"Mr. Tian is the magistrate of Songjiang. He is the official in Kunshan. His hands are stretched too long!" Xiong Dianshi saw his thigh... Oh no, the young master was humiliated and immediately stepped forward and stared at the other party with a gloomy look.

"That's right, do you have to do with us?" Mr. Zhao shook the fan contemptuously, revealing the other side of the two words "Science".

"I'm here to welcome Lord Zhongcheng to inspect our Songjiang River." Tian Tongzong's mouth twitched twice and said in a muffled voice.

"Damn, it turns out he is a flatterer." Zhao Hao and Xiong Dianshi leaned back together and ignored him.

"Hmph, you two are waiting!" Tian Tongzong, who was despised, felt that he would not get the venue back, and his face as a sixth-rank magistrate would be thrown on this dam.

In front, Lin Run knocked and slapped it all out, and finally stood up with satisfaction and said:

"Okay, this cement embankment is indeed well-known, and it is stronger than the stone ponds built by other counties! No wonder it can be used to protect against wind and floods!"

"Xiaguan is also worried. It's great to withstand the typhoons for several times." Zhao Shouzheng smiled modestly.

"You are very good, better than our hospital expected at the beginning." Lin Run looked up and down at Zhao Shouzheng, and saw that the pampered white-faced top scholar had become black and thin, and his eyes looked much bigger than before.

"This hospital did not use the wrong person. The concerns about you were completely wrong!"

"Shame!" Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly bowed and thanked: "The officials just kept in mind the instructions of the Zhongcheng and kept the people of the county in their hearts at all times. Only then did the whole county unite and luckily resist the flood this year."

"Oh, Magistrate Zhao, being too modest means being proud." Lin Run waved his hand and pointed to the causeway under his feet: "Is this impregnable embankment also a lucky build?"

"If this is a miracle, I think there is no other county magistrate in the world who can create such a miracle." Lin Zhongcheng gave the highest evaluation.

Zhao Shouzheng said in his heart that it was because they were too stupid to give birth to a good son like me... Hey, why does this seem a bit strange?

'It's not a good son like me, but a good son like my son.' Mr. Zhao seriously and secretly corrected it.

"But our hospital is very curious, so I can reveal how much it costs to repair this embankment?" Lin Run asked softly after Mr. Zhao was finished humbly.

"If it is sold into silver, one million taels will be worth it." Zhao Shouzheng followed his son's instructions and reported the data that he had heard of was the first time he had heard of.

In fact, in Jiang Xueying's account, the total expenditure of the first phase of the project was only 500,000 taels.

But when reporting the account, it is obviously impossible to calculate this way. After all, the labor of the first phase of the project is free, and the profit margin of Kunkais does not count.

If he only wants to pay 500,000 taels for a moment, Lin Run asked Kun Kaisi to repair the embankment of Yingtian Tenth Mansion at this price, and he would have to pay Mr. Zhao's calf.

One million taels are not much, but the Baili Shitang in Wujiang cost three million taels.

In this way, Kunkaisi is a good company that makes conscientious money.

But only one million taels were scared Lin Run.

"My hospital in Kunshan County came last year. At that time, Magistrate Feng was so poor that he couldn't bear it anymore. He still couldn't stand it. He allocated him five thousand taels of silver to make the year pass. You have only been here for a few months, so where did you get so much money?"

"It was the county who joined forces with the gentry of the county and Jiangnan Company to jointly establish a Kunshan development company to do this. The county naturally had no money, so it only occupied one-quarter of the shares, and all the project funds were paid by the gentry and Jiangnan Company."

"Then what are their benefits?" Lin Run asked again.

"The county promised to rent the abandoned fields to Kunkaisi as a reward." Zhao Shouzheng explained carefully:

"For example, after the second phase of the project was completed, 100,000 mu of flooded land on both sides of Yanglintang became fertile land. The county has signed a lease contract with Kunkaiser as a reward for the previous phase of the project."

"How to rent a method?" Lin Run asked very carefully. He was a censor who had been a censor for half his life. He felt that it was likely that there might be dirt here.

"The contract is here, and before I can report it to the government, please ask the Zhongcheng Junjian." Zhao Shouzheng quickly took out a contract signed by the county and Kunkaisi from his sleeve and submitted it with both hands.

Lin Run took it, looked through it word by word, and finally looked at the rolling Wusong River and sighed:

"I admire you. I am such a genius who can come up with such a way!"

Mr. Zhao couldn't help but feel ashamed and thought to himself that he had taken the title of his son again.
Chapter completed!
