Early in the morning, the reservoir construction site.

Torches were extinguished everywhere, and it was time for a shift change.

A clerk took advantage of the shift change to open his voice and shouted: "Last night's project, one group was rated as the best, the team leader was rewarded with five silver coins, each group leader was rewarded with two silver coins, and all the team members added food and meat!" Although the speed of the project of the four groups is not fast, but because of the hard soil, a lot of gravel, you are conscientious, it is not easy, all the members of the four groups add food and meat! ”

The two engineering teams that received the reward were all smiling.

Especially the team leaders and group leaders who can get money, they regard Wang Yuan as a reborn parent. Except for the team leader who is a member of Linqing Prefecture, the team leader is all selected from the disaster victims, if he can get a few more rewards, the farming silver for returning home in the spring is enough.

After the reward, it is the punishment.

"The six groups have been assessed for three consecutive times and the penultimate first and second. Xiao Changgui, the leader of the group, was dismissed on the spot, all the team leaders were re-elected, and all team members had half of their meals today! ”

No one dared to question it, all of them hung their heads, and the dismissed officials also left in disgrace.

Wang Yuan was really ruthless, not only raided the Lu family, but also punished those soap officials who disobeyed the yang and the yin, and ate and took the card.

Because of the deduction of food funds, the master of Zhizhou Ma Lun has been arrested and imprisoned, and what awaits him will be to deprive Xiucai of his fame and then exile. The other officials involved, the main secretary of Linqing Prefecture, were cut by Wang Yuan, and their work was taken over by Wang Yuan's disciple Bao Chaoxiang. Several officials were ordered to make meritorious contributions, and if they made another mistake, they could accompany the master to the frontier to serve as a soldier.

The food sent by Liang Xi, the general of Cao Yunshen, was inexplicably short of 2,000 stones. The hundred households who were responsible for escorting the grain were also cut off by Wang Yuan, and by the way, they asked people to take their heads back to Liang Xi to see.

The Linqing Prefecture scribe, who was responsible for land requisition compensation, secretly encroached on the people's fertile land and quietly took away the land outside the scope of land requisition. All the officials involved were beheaded, and the previous Linqing Prefecture chief was also killed because of this, otherwise Wang Yuan would probably make him guilty and make meritorious contributions.

Before and after, Wang Yuan cut off more than 20 heads, what should I do if there are not enough officials?

Hehe, didn't Wang Yuan just accept a disciple named Xingtai? Although the criminal family has only issued a state sentence, there are many children and grandchildren who have read books, whether they are Xiucai or children, they can be temporarily requisitioned to be officials, and even the bookkeeper of the criminal family is helping on the construction site!

Moreover, the criminal family is still a local snake, and many things are done by them, and it is very easy to use.

Zhu Houzhao had already sent ten young imperial historians over, taking turns to supervise the situation in various places, and all kinds of news were reported to Wang Yuan. There are too many corruption news, and it is impossible to distinguish between true and false, Wang Yuan can only check it slowly, and once it is verified, he will either be exiled or killed!

In just 20 days, officials at all levels in Dongchang, Linqing, Jining, and other places simply changed their complexion when they heard Wang Yuan's name.

Of course, there are many recitals to impeach Wang Yuan.

These officials or gentry have some connections in the court, and they frantically wrote letters to the capital to expose Wang Yuan's bad deeds. Many officials were easily bewitched, and counted Wang Yuan's three major crimes: raiding the homes of good people for no reason, killing officials indiscriminately at every turn, and embezzling countless project funds!

Wang Yuan, on the other hand, wrote a letter to the emperor every three days, explaining the progress of his project and the officials he had killed.

……

Huang Chongde knelt on the ground and said: "Master Wang, I don't live up to the trust, and the required engineering materials have been shipped one after another. ”

"Get up, you're doing well." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Huang Chongde was originally doing business in Shandong, and the Shandong cotton that Wang Yuan needed was purchased and shipped by this person. In addition, Huang Chongde's son has already worshiped Wang Yuan as his teacher, so he naturally chose Huang Chongde as the general person in charge of investment promotion.

It will definitely make Huang Chongde make money, and it will definitely make the supplier make money, but don't want to fool Wang Yuan as a fool. Who dares to sit on the ground and raise the price, it is purely because Wang Erlang's knife is not fast enough!

At this time, it was the dry season in winter, and the upstream river channel was directly cut off by ice, and part of the river water was dug and diverted downstream.

Wang Yuan came to the Rolling Dam Engineering Office and asked, "Li Gong, has the foundation been dug up?" ”

The old eunuch Li Xing said: "It has been dug up." ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "The lime and other things have also arrived, and the Sanhe soil will be beaten from tomorrow." ”

Li Xing asked: "Really use Sanhe soil to build an embankment?" I haven't tried it before, so I don't know if it works. ”

"Layer by layer tamping, hard as a stone, the older the year, the stronger it is!" Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Li Xing has experience in building various types of dikes, and 20 years ago, he worked with Liu Daxia and Chen Rui to build the Huanglinggang dike. In addition to the construction of three high-walled waterproof dams on the north bank, a rolling dam was also built to prevent sand and slow the water situation.

At that time, the rolling dam in Huanglinggang alone cost more than 30,000 boulders, 3,000 giant trees, 45,000 small trees, and 11,000 catties of pig iron.

This old eunuch is very experienced!

Wang Yuan asked, "When will this dam be completed?" ”

Li Xing smiled: "Two months." If it is not too troublesome to ram the triple soil, one month is enough. ”

The rolling dam in Huanglinggang was completed by 16,000 laborers in four months. However, the rolling dam in Linqing is much smaller in scale and much less difficult to construct, and it has been prepared for a month in the early stage, and it can be completed in two months.

"Second brother, the Liu family is here!" Yuan Da suddenly rode a horse to report.

Not only did people come, but they also sent things.

The patriarch of the Liu clan is over seventy years old, and he personally leads the team with crutches, and behind him are more than ten carts of wine, meat, and grain.

"Grass man Liu Degui, I've seen the big man of the blue sky!" Old man Liu led his clansmen and knelt and kowtowed under the icy riverbank land.

Wang Yuan smiled and helped him up: "Uncle Liu, why did you come to Qingtianyi." ”

Liu Degui stroked his beard and said loudly: "Bachelor Wang is upright, selfless, incorruptible and honest, and can be called a blue sky." Bachelor Wang is for the country and the people, and builds water conservancy, which can be called the blue sky. Bachelor Wang eliminated harm for the people and raided the thieves of the Lu clan, which can be called the blue sky. With these three major achievements, he is the Qingtian master of the people of Linqing! ”

"Hahaha, Uncle Liu has won the award." Wang Yuan couldn't stop laughing.

In fact, it's all nonsense, not long ago, Liu Degui secretly instigated the Lu family to stir up trouble, and Liu Degui also had a share of the credit for spreading rumors and incitement. Even if Wang Yuan raided the Lu family, the Liu family relied on their power in the local guard center, and they didn't bother to deal with Wang Yuan, they just didn't bother anymore.

But as Wang Yuan killed more and more officials, and even cut down a master book and a hundred households, Liu Degui was suddenly frightened and took the initiative to come to reward.

Liu Degui pointed to the more than ten carts of wine, meat and grain: "Master Wang, this is a little bit of the grass people's heart, I wish the rolling dam and reservoir in Linqing a smooth completion!" ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Wang Yuan said with a smile, "I searched the Lu family, and I also copied some fields." These fertile fields have been distributed to the people who have been occupied as compensation, and some have also been allocated to the servants of the Lu family as private land. There are still a lot left, after thinking about it, it should be divided between the Liu family and the Xing family, after all, it occupies a lot of fertile land for the two of you, and no compensation plan has been given so far. ”

Liu Degui suddenly said excitedly: "Bachelor Wang has done a good job, and the grass people admire it." In the future, but if there is a sending, the Liu family will definitely do their best! ”

"There is really someone who needs the help of the Liu family, let's take a step to speak." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Look, this is the benefit of having the Lu family raided.

One is to deter everyone, and the other is to confiscate the land.

The Lu family developed in Linqing in the Yuan Dynasty, and at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know how much wasteland was reclaimed, and the land was the most among the three families. How to compensate for land acquisition? Take the land of the Lu family and divide it.

After the compensation, it was more than enough, and all the rest was used as official land.

Even, Wang Yuan took matters into his own hands and gave Linqing Zhou more than ten acres of land. In the future, these will be school fields, and the income from the cultivation of tenants can be used to subsidize school teachers.

Students will also benefit, because part of the travel expenses for their township examinations come from school gifts—official schools in poor areas, even teachers are hard, so it is naturally impossible to give students travel expenses.

Don't look at Wang Yuan, who offended countless people, and even arrested the master of Zhizhou and exiled him.

However, Wang Yuan had already received the support of the Linqing Prefecture School, the support of countless young scholars, and the full support of the Xing family and the Liu family.

If the soap clerk is disobedient, he will replace it, and he can temporarily recruit scholars at any time.

Is the soapman the head snake?

The criminal family and the Liu family are the real snakes, and they are much more effective than the soap officials!

Linqing Zhizhou Ma Lun really wanted to cry without tears, Wang Yuan had only been here for a month, and he directly put his Zhizhou in the air. Not to mention that his master was arrested, even the officials below him, he couldn't move.

Just finished chatting with Old Man Liu, a young imperial historian suddenly came on horseback: "Master Wang, there are officials in Dongchang Mansion who sent messengers to the countryside to forcibly collect forage under the pretext of governing the Linqing River!" This is true, but I have witnessed with my own eyes that hundreds of people have been forced to have no food and clothing. ”

"Okay, I've killed so many people, and I still think my neck is too hard!" Wang Yuan turned over his horse, summoned 200 troops and said, "Follow me to eliminate harm for the people!" ”
