I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 225 Game
One hundred thousand laborers were divided into dozens of large and small teams, led by dozens of subordinate staff and duck farmers who were familiar with the road, and entered the vast Daze from several directions.

Daze is located in the northwest of Jiangling City. It is vast and endless, and it can be entered from all directions.

However, because the ponds and lakes in Daze are different distances, it takes more than half an hour to get there.And far away, it takes a day or two.

In this way, those who travel far must live there.

Therefore, His Royal Highness King Chu recruited another 1 people to transport supplies inside.

Fortunately, there is still the spring tax that has just been collected in the treasury.

And for the past two days, Guo Yi has been shuttling through the vast and boundless Daze non-stop.

He asked a carpenter to make two pairs of sledges, one for him and Pei Ruyu.After only half an hour of practice, the two of them were already able to glide quickly in the swamp.

Guo Yi did this to correct the direction and guide all the teams to dig in the correct way.

The picture he drew was only for outsiders to see.The actual blueprint, in his head.

Every time he went to an excavation site, he would take out the map, and then open the landscape map to compare bit by bit, and then correct the excavation direction.

And Pei Ruyu watched with great interest.

The handsome young man in front of him, who was younger than him, has been subverting his own cognition since the moment he met him.

He wrote the art of looking at mountains and water, created a new method of digging wells, and built the Liuzhihe Salt Factory. He even planned the very prosperous Jiangling City Cultural Association, including papermaking workshops and hydraulic weaving. machine workshop.

Compared with him, I, the son of the Xianggong's family, is nothing.

And the sled under his feet made him even more novel.

In fact, there are not only single-person sleds, but also sledges for transporting supplies, which can be put on the sled and dragged on the swamp.

The two of them shuttled non-stop in the swamp, while His Royal Highness the King of Chu was sitting in Jiangling City.

In the morning, he handles official duties in the yamen, and in the afternoon, he goes to the riverside to check the water rules.

It has been five or six days, and the water level is still fluctuating unsteadily, almost always above the scale five.

Scale three is the normal water level, and scale five has overflowed too much.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu stood on the bank, looking at the rolling waves in the river, feeling very depressed, and couldn't sleep well at night.

And He Tongpan, who was rarely seen today, also came to the riverside and stood beside the King of Chu, two steps behind to show respect.

Also looking at the turbulent river, he sighed a little: "His Royal Highness's action is really a waste of money and people. One hundred thousand hard labor, two hundred dollars a day, is not a small sum.

And dredging Daze is even more unwise.There is a lot of silt in Daze, and siltation is common.If it is dredged once, it will inevitably be blocked again in a year or so!
In this year of severe drought, it is not easy for Jiangling Mansion to have such a scene.I hope His Highness will cherish it! "

In the spring of this year, there was a severe drought on Kuizhou Road, North Jingbei Road, and South Jingnan Road. However, because the King of Chu had successfully resisted the disaster, most of Jingbei Road was safe and sound.

And He Shijing, as the general judge of Jiangling Mansion, will also benefit.

If there is no accident, this year's evaluation must be superior.

Although, he has been holding back his legs all the time, but he didn't hold back...

When the King of Chu heard the words, he was very disdainful. You, an old boy, also know that Jingbei Road has maintained a good situation in the year of severe drought.

But is this good scene due to your penny?

The disdain was disdainful, but the King of Chu didn't want to talk to him, so he pointed to the Taotao River in front of him: "Then what is the meaning of the judgment? This river has been rising for five or six days in a row, so just let it go?"

He Shijing choked immediately.

Although, what he meant was to let it go, and at most send people to guard the embankment.But this kind of thing can be done but not said.

Once it is said, it will leave a handle.In case the great river breaks its bank, this handle is the blade of decapitation.

Besides, this is the default thing, and everyone does it.Big rivers like the Dajiang River and the Dongjing River will burst their embankments almost every two or three years, which is nothing more than normal.

But no one makes such a big fuss like you. Just a rise in the river has recruited [-] laborers to dig Daze.

How much will this cost?
Moreover, it actually revealed this shady scene in such a naked way...

With just one sentence, He Shijing was thrown against the wall, and it was difficult to get off the wall.

He couldn't help but blushed a little, and then turned his heart: "Your Highness, the imperial court has not issued an official document to reduce or exempt the spring tax!"

Threat!

A naked threat!

He wanted to use this excuse to coerce the King of Chu to stop this act of wasting people and money.He wanted to seek stability, and he didn't want to waste money and lose this superiority.

But His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not show the slightest sign of embarrassment, but smiled lightly: "He Tongpan, don't forget that the two of us wrote to the imperial court together, talking about the severe drought on Jingbei Road.

But if you don't ask the court to reduce or exempt the spring tax, but pay it in full like last year, what do you think the Holy Majesty will think? "

To deceive the court?To deceive the Holy Majesty?
"That's different! It's because we have succeeded in fighting the drought on the Jinghu North Road that we can afford to pay the spring tax. This is a great achievement!

Furthermore, Mr. Pei has already come to Jiangling Mansion, right and wrong, Mr. Pei can clearly judge! "

He Shijing is old and cunning, so naturally he is not threatened by him.

Two people, no one can do anything to the other.

The King of Chu thought for a while, and suddenly proposed: "He Tongpan has been serving as a general judge in Jiangling Mansion. It has been exactly three years since the end of the year, right? How about this? Let's make a deal and write a letter to recommend the court, so that He Tongpan How about being sentenced to be the magistrate of Xiazhou?"

When He Tongjuan heard the words, he was a little confused, Xiazhou Zhizhou?

According to the laws and regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as a general judge for two or three terms, he is eligible to be promoted to prefect.

But only qualified...

Not only do you have to pass the examination, but you also have to wait for a vacancy.If you are lucky and there happens to be a Zhizhou vacancy, then there is hope to fill the vacancy.

Moreover, there are many differences between Zhizhou and Zhizhou.There are state capitals of remote places, and there are state capitals of rich places.

Not necessarily where there are vacancies.

Of course, if there is someone above, who can help out with a few words, it will definitely fill a gap.If there is no one to help, then I am sorry, what is missing.

You won't be left to pick and choose.

There are people in the court who like to be officials, no matter where this sentence is put, it is the last word.

He Shijing couldn't help shortness of breath. He was already the second general judge, but he was over fifty years old, and he didn't have a few years to wait.

The good years can't just be wasted like this.

However, Tong San was originally sent by the imperial court to monitor the magistrate, and he was a natural political enemy.

But His Royal Highness Chu personally proposed it, so naturally there will be his method.

Thinking of this, He Tongpan turned his head and looked around. Seeing that there were no outsiders, he nodded brazenly and said, "Okay! I agree with His Highness's move! I will do my best to assist His Highness in the future, so I will go to the treasury to arrange supplies!"

Shanzhou, just north of Jiangling, is a land of prosperity.

It is also a state and county under Jinghu North Road.
