"Yes, yes, how dare the light of the fireflies compete with the bright moon?" Yi Kejiu filled Zhao Shouzheng with wine again, but said depressedly in his heart, if Zhao Hao is my son, I can go to heaven believe it or not!

"Then I'll take care of my business." Zhao Shouzheng remembered that Zhao Hao wrote that Tamna Island needed a large number of stonemasons. "Then sentence them to exile Tamluo and contribute to the recovery of the lost territory of the Ming Dynasty."

The exile sentence of the Ming Dynasty generally followed the principle of north-south transposition, that is, the southern exiles sent to the north, and the northern exiles sent to the south. Kunshan County is naturally going to exile to the north, and the usual destination is Shaanxi, Liaodong and other nine-border places.

However, Second Master Zhao is familiar with the laws and regulations, and knows that Tamna is also one of the destinations to choose from. In the early years, Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang's subordinates were all exiled to Tamna Island. Although he has not been exiled there for more than 100 years, the Criminal Department has never taken Tamna from the options, so there is nothing wrong with him exiling the prisoner to Tamna.

It's not a transfer of interests.

"Of course, of course." Yi Zhi County naturally agreed, as long as Second Master Zhao didn't complain to his son, he would send all the people in the county to Tamluo, and he didn't frown.

Dianshan Lake official boat.

After discussing today's aftermath, Yi Kejiu toasted with a shy face: "In addition, there is a reluctant request, please don't shirk my brother." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhao Erye's alcohol consumption is still as bad as ever, and he is already a little drunk after three glasses of wine on an empty stomach.

"Brother, can you say hello to Jiangnan Group and give us a little cement?" Yi Kejiu said: "We want to build the Taipu River......"

"Taipu River?" These three words evoked unpleasant memories in Zhao Erye's mind. When he first took office, in order to solve the Kunshan disaster, he begged this person in a low voice, wanting to use Wujiang County to build a Taipu River flood discharge connecting Taihu Lake and Huangpu River to reduce the pressure on Wusong River, but Yi Kejiu refused.

It was a very unpleasant quarrel between the two sides. Yizhi County relied on the fact that there were 100 miles of stone ponds in the county, but it really didn't give Zhao Zhuangyuan face. Angry, Zhao Shouzheng patted the table and swore that he would build a two-hundred-mile stone pond, and let Wujiang County taste it, and a soak in the water would be the taste of half a year!

Yi Zhi County didn't believe it at all at that time, and teased them that they couldn't repair it for a hundred years!

As a result, the whole county of Kunshan went into battle, and it was repaired for 300 miles in half a year, which really gave Wujiang County a taste of soaking in water.

'Hahaha! Zhao Shouzheng laughed heartily, looked at Yi Kejiu and asked, "How is it, Fengpo, I, Zhao Gongming, didn't brag?" ”

"No, no." Yi Kejiu's face was flushed.

"The embankment has been repaired, right? And it was built a hundred miles more! Zhao Erye cocked Erlang's legs more and more proudly and said: "Lao Tzu said that if you want to soak you, how about it, are you soaked?" ”

"It's soaked, it's all soaked." Yi Kejiu completely straightened his posture and let the gentleman ravage. "Little brother really regrets it, he really doesn't listen to good people, and he suffers in front of him."

"Take that lesson to heart." Zhao Shouzheng took a sip of three white wines and said: "Some things are missed, they are missed." At the beginning, we in Kunshan County paid for it, and we wanted you to repair it, but you didn't repair it. Now we don't need it, and you're crying and shouting to fix it again. This is the Taipu River now, we Kunshan only have disadvantages and no benefits, how do you say I can help you? ”

As soon as the Taipu River is opened, the boats between Taihu Lake and Songjiang no longer need to detour Kunshan, which is equivalent to reducing the status of Kunshan.

"Yes, yes, it's the little brother who didn't think it through." Yi Ke nodded hurriedly, he knew that he was thinking about peaches, so he took a step back and said, "Then how about we repair the Dianpu River?" ”

"Yodoura?" Zhao Erye's heart moved: "From Dianshan Lake to Huangpu River?"

"Uh-huh." Yi Kejiu hurriedly unfolded the map, pointed to the dotted line drawn earlier, and said: "Brother, look, once this river is repaired, you can go to Songjiang from Guixian County, and you don't need to go to the winding Wusong River, you only need to enter Dianshan Lake from Kunnan and go directly to the east for eighty miles, and you can enter the Huangpu River." Ten miles further is the county seat of Shanghai. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Shouzheng looked along the dotted line and said that if this river was built, the voyage from Kunshan to Shanghai would be shortened by half. He remembered that Zhao Hao said that Shanghai's status would be extremely important in the future, and it might even surpass Suzhou......

"Isn't Kunnan in your county a big problem? Isn't Kunnan alive if the river is repaired? Yi Kejiu spat on the stars and flew wildly, and vigorously promoted his real plan: "And Huating, Shanghai, Chongming and our Kunshan Wujiang counties will also be closely linked, isn't Ling Gongzi promoting the integration of Jiangnan, and I want to come to Jiangnan Group will also strongly support it!" ”

"Well, that's a good idea." Zhao Erye's face was red, obviously drunk again, he pointed to the map and said: "It's just that this river, the effect on your county, it seems that it is not as big as the Taipu River." ”

The Taipu River connects Taihu Lake and Huangpu, traverses Wujiang County, and directly connects to Songjiang Prefecture, which is of course much stronger than the Dianpu River, which is only in a corner of Wujiang.

But the pressure of the flood discharge is overhead, and Yizhi County can't care about it so much. Who made him lazy and rejected the Taipu River plan. Now we can only settle for the next best thing and choose a plan that is most beneficial to Kunshan County and is also beneficial to the county.

"It's okay, so we have less pressure to acquire land." Yi Kejiu said.

"Okay, I'll make an appointment with the two of you to come over in the same year, let's talk together and see how to share it." Listening to Second Master Zhao's tone, it is obvious that this matter is so decided.

But also, Huating and Shanghai Liangzhi County are all his same year, and they are the kind that hug their thighs. Second Master Zhao said that it was better than the prefect.

"Don't mind, this is to give us a flood discharge, how can you get your county to pay? I paid for the materials in Wujiang County. Yi Kejiu hurriedly took it down, and then looked at Zhao Erye and said, "Brother, can you talk to Jiangnan Group and set up a Wujiang Development Company in our county?" All counties have been established, and we can't always leave Wujiang behind. ”

"Haha, let's talk about it, there's no guarantee that it will be done." Zhao Erye nodded with a smile, this feeling of always being begged for is really not bad.

~~

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Erye spoke, all counties responded positively. After discussion, the Dianpu River project was handed over to Jiangnan Development Corporation.

With the current strength of the Jiangnan Development Corporation, digging a 90-mile artificial river is not a big project. Kunshan, Wujiang, Huating, and Shanghai counties have all set up development companies. Fortunately, Chongkaisi was busy with overseas projects and did not insert a lever. Otherwise, the family would not be able to divide twenty miles.

The four companies were competing, and it only took more than a month for you to chase me, and the Dianpu River was dug before the flood, and the rubble concrete embankment was built on both sides.

As a result, during the flood season, Jiangnan was hit by several typhoons in a row, but fortunately this flood channel was repaired, otherwise the entire Wujiang County would have to be in the soup. This time, the county seat and most of the crops were saved, and it was not so bad as to hurt the vitality.

Of course, compared with Changzhou, Wu County, which basically repaired the Taihu Lake embankment before, it is still a little miserable. Hey, who let himself die before to save face...... Yi Zhixian, who consciously did a good job, sighed secretly.

However, this year, Taicang, Changshu, and Jiading have all been flooded in the wind and flood, and the most important autumn harvest of the year has become a foregone conclusion. Yizhi County silently calculated, Wujiang County's harvest should be able to rank third historically, which can be regarded as a bright spot. I hope that Lord Zhongcheng will be merciful and treat himself as a fart.

Who knew that after the autumn harvest, as soon as the statistical results of the house came out, Yi Kejiu's jaw dropped in shock.

Wujiang County actually ranked fourth, and Changzhou Wu County ranked second or third.

Kunshan County, which is the penultimate in 10,000 years, actually won the championship in one fell swoop, and the total output exceeded the second place Changzhou County by nearly two percent!

"Could it be a mistake?" Yi Zhixian recuperated his chin and wailed to his master: "Could cement also increase grain production?" ”

"How is that possible?" The master shook his head and said: "I heard that first, Kunshan County has not been affected, and even the harvest in Kunnan is good. Second, they have successfully planted two crops of rice and increased the yield per mu by a large margin. ”

"Alas, it can't be compared, it really can't be compared." Yi Kejiu sat back on the chair convincingly, and said in his heart that this was called Hua Kunshan's hat, and he completely threw it off.

~~

On the Wuwei boat heading east, Zhao Gongzi saw Kunkaisi's more accurate income report.

There are 100 farms under the Agricultural Department of Kunkaisi, with a total of 600,000 acres of cooked land. Among them, 300,000 acres of grain fields, 200,000 acres of cotton fields, and 100,000 acres of mulberry fields.

Under the scientific guidance of Ma Yilong and the careful leadership of the farm director and technicians, 300,000 mu of grain fields have successfully planted two crops of rice, and a total of 2.1 million stone rice has been earned. The average yield per mu per quarter is as high as three stone five!

In addition, the cotton mulberry fields have also been harvested, and the grain has been converted into 3 million stones. Therefore, the gross income of 600,000 acres of land is 5.1 million stones!

After deducting the tax burden of 600,000 stone this year, 600,000 stone is paid to the landlord, and the remaining 3.9 million stone is paid. According to the agreement, the harvest was divided equally with the peasants, so Kunkaisi could get 1.95 million stones.

1.5% of the incentive will be paid to 100 field managers and 500 technicians. This year, due to floods in various places, the price of grain has soared, and it has reached two taels of silver and one stone. Therefore, the field managers and technicians can almost divide up nearly 60,000 taels, plus the salary expenses on weekdays, a total of 100,000 taels.

After deducting the costs of production and consumption, the gross profit of the Kunkaisi Agricultural Department is about 2.5 million taels.

In addition, the peasants had to repay about 300,000 koku of grain borrowed in advance. So the final book surplus was about 3.1 million taels.

But don't be too happy, it's true that the Agriculture Department made a lot of money, but the Construction Department repaired three phases of water conservancy projects last year, and lost a full 400,000 taels. This year, in Chongming, Pudong, Changzhou, Wuxian and other places, the loss has reached an astonishing 1 million taels of interest.

Of course, this is determined by the company's business model, which is that the Agency pays for the project in advance, and then the government pays the debt with the long-term lease of the land. Then the agricultural department will build the land into a farm, and increase the yield through intensive management and scientific planting, and finally obtain profits.

After a year and a half of continuous investment, this long process finally made a profit for the first time.

And it's a full 1.7 million taels!

Another 1 million taels of development funds for next year will be accrued, and the dividend this year will reach 700,000 taels!

ps. I guess there's no next chapter, don't wait.
