The actor who is dressed in the Yiyun Hall is chanting the excerpts of "The Four-tone Ape·History of the Crazy Drum" behind the scenes:

"Madman! I will teach you how to play drums, how do you point to other people and compare people with animals? My bronze hammer and iron blade are so bad. Please carefully observe your tongue and teeth!"

At the front seat, Prime Minister Xu looked at Lin Run and laughed and said, "Chief Zhong is polite, but he has given instructions. How dare you not obey?"

Zhong Zhenji, Xu Fan and others who were talking around all closed their mouths.

"Yuan Weng is indeed very wise, so he said frankly that night." Lin Run smiled with relief and said seriously:

"Su Song floods every year, and the people suffer in great pain. This year there are only two ordinary storms, but they still cause more than 2 million mu of farmland in seven counties to be flooded, and hundreds of thousands of people are affected. If the storms are frequent in the coming year, or if there are super strong storms, I am afraid that both prefectures and ten counties will become maritime countries!"

Mr. Xu and others nodded, as if they agreed.

"So, our hospital has made up its mind to dredge the downstream of Taihu Lake this winter. Open Taipu and connect Huangpu to at least double the flood discharge capacity of Susong, so that you can feel a little more at ease next year!"

Lin Run finished speaking firmly and looked at Master Xu and said, "I would like to ask Yuan Weng to help Wansheng to build a great success for his hometown."

"Haha, if I don't say that it's really a blessing for the people of Jiangnan to be able to caress the south of the Yangtze River." Xu Ge Lao smiled at Zhong Zhenji, and Zhong Magistrate and others also smiled and nodded in agreement.

Then Xu Ge Lao said seriously: "I am a man of a slut, although he cannot carry his shoulders or carry his hands, he is still willing to sway the flag and shout for the Chief Secretary and eat the food and slurry pot."

Translation is just, don't look for me, I'm useless, I can't do anything.

"Your Majesty Yuan doesn't need to go to the court to ask for help. You just need to take the lead and withdraw some of the fields along the Wusong, Huangpu and Taipu Rivers so that our hospital can build water conservancy." Lin Run still said to himself.

Behind the curtain, Huaying still recited Bai, "This fruit is rude!"

"Oh huh..." Xu Ge Lao clung his beard and smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, I have the awareness of making some sacrifices for my hometown."

As he spoke, he changed his mind and said, "But I have been an official for many years before, and after returning home, I was recuperating. I don't know anything about my family. You should ask someone else about it."

"Then, who knows Yuan Weng?" Lin Run asked with a smile.

"The dog should be clearer than the old man." Mr. Xu said lightly. Although he was no longer in the cabinet, his ability to turn the blame was not lost at all.

Xu Fan had no choice but to take the blame and took it on his back, stood up and smiled at Lin Run, "The Chief Executive is tired today, so let's not talk about the main business, right? My third brother and I will make a special trip to the Chief Executive to report to the Chief Executive next day."

"Yes, yes." Zhong Zhenji also smiled and said to Xi Ni: "It is a great thing to rectify Taihu Lake. Our Songjiang Prefecture will definitely cooperate with Zhongcheng. However, so many rivers pass through our prefecture, which involves thousands of households? It's not something that can be explained clearly in just a few words."

"Don't hurry at this moment." Huating magistrate Zheng Yue and Zhao Erye were in the same department, and he placed this ghost place on the list. Not only were the prefectures and counties, but there were also thousands of large nests in the Xu family, and none of them took him seriously.

The poor and helpless Magistrate Zheng, who was a weak and helpless, could only be a dog-legged person and had no other options except to be a voice-over insect.

Seeing that everyone said this, Lin Run could only press the topic first. "Okay, please ask the two of you to discuss tomorrow. Our hospital will ask you for advice."

"It's easy to say." The Xu brothers smiled on their faces, and their mothers were in their hearts.

~~

Xu Ge is old and Lin Run is also tired of traveling. After drinking for three rounds, everyone talks for a while and then they part.

Zhong Zhenji and Xu Ying sent Lin Run back to the mansion, while Xu Fan helped his old father back to the "Mianfeng Pavilion" to rest.

The father and son were walking on a winding veranda, with lakes with fragrance of lotus flowers on both sides.

The lanterns reflect on the water surface, and the floating light leaps into gold and the starry sky, making them look like a fairyland in the cave.

Xu Fan couldn't help but break the tranquility. "Father, how should I reply to Lin's surname for tomorrow?"

"What do you think?" Xu Jie's cane hit the ground, his steps were as steady as before.

"In my humble opinion, he is also the governor of Jiangnan. It is not easy to speak back. You can't let others return empty-handed."

"Haha, how much do you plan to give him?" Mr. Xu smiled unanimously.

"Hundreds of acres will definitely not be able to send him away. One thousand acres, at most two thousand acres will be dismissed." Xu Fan said carefully.

"Two thousand acres? It's really not a puppy who sells his land." Xu Jie sneered, looked up at the bright lights like a sea of ​​stars in the garden, and couldn't help but sigh:

"When your grandfather was alive, he would never have thought that his eldest grandson would take out fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver to send him without blinking."

The fields of Songjiang are all cash crops, so they are naturally more valuable than ordinary paddy fields. You have nowhere to buy a thirty taels of silver per acre.

Because he and the Xu family are all in the hands of the Xu family.

As he said that, Mr. Xu sighed quietly and told the story of his family:

"My Xu family was originally working as a farmer in the countryside of Xujiabang for generations. Your Gaozu's family has many poor children and cannot afford to support you, so you can only marry your great-grandfather into the Huangfu, Defengqiao, county town, and become a son-in-law."

Xu Fan naturally knew this family history. He had always been ashamed of it and never allowed anyone to mention it. But if his father wanted to say it, he could only listen.

"Your grandfather could only go to school and study, and finally become the county magistrate. The most proud thing about your grandfather in his life was to change his surname before entering school for his father. Otherwise, he would have to take the imperial examination like the top scholar in Suzhou, just like the top scholar in Suzhou, and take the imperial examination under his surname."

"It's really not easy for grandfather." Xu Fan seemed to be a different generation.

"But when you change your surname, the Huang family will no longer pay for me and your damn uncle to study. Your grandfather can only save money and save every copper coin. He never eats meat, never burns charcoal in winter, and does not wear a new piece of clothing during the Chinese New Year. As a result, his father just passed away."

"I didn't see him for the last time, I only saw the six words he left to me when he died." Xu Jie wiped the corners of his eyes and said with a dull voice:

"Don't forget that the suffering of going away is too much."

"Don't forget the suffering of going away?" Xu Fan repeated and said ashamed: "My son has indeed forgotten his roots."

"Actually, my father doesn't want you to be a slave to protect the money. It's just that this money is spent, and it doesn't mean it is spent, and you can't spend a word." Xu Jie said in a low voice:

"We feel the pain in Lin Run's eyes. It's not enough to repair a river ditch? If we don't withdraw tens of thousands of acres, we will not solve the problem at all."

"That's impossible!" Xu Fan was the seed of the Xu family after all, and the virtue of thrift and thrifty family is engraved in the bones.

"Our family pays 50,000 or 60,000 taels is the limit. If we didn't see everyone still having a lot of incense, we would give these 50,000 or 60,000 taels to those censors, so that they could get out of bed!" Xu Fan immediately changed his mind.

"Just understand." The two men and women walked to the entrance of Mianfeng Pavilion. When they entered the door, Xu Jie said lightly: "Everyone has his value, and Governor Yingtian is worth the money. If they exceed it, they will overestimate their abilities."

In fact, 50,000 or 60,000 taels are really a lot. Before, Mr. Xu gave Zhao Hao only two thousand taels to justice...

"Yes, father, don't worry." Xu Fan naturally knew what to do after the imperial edict.
