Out of the capital, the rain is still falling, but it is much lighter.

Sun Dan sat on the boat, and did not urge the boatman to drive some boats, just looked at the scenery outside, and stole half a day of leisure, which was also a great pleasure.

However, due to the rain, the water flow was also rapid, and the smooth sailing was smooth, and the transmission also went extremely fast.

After five days on the road, it passed through Jining and drove on the boundary of Huai'an Province. This area is the Great Plains, which was one of the main agricultural fields of the Ming Dynasty. In later generations, it was called northern Jiangsu and belonged to Jiangsu Province.

Although Sun Dan is now a seven-rank official, he is the editor of the Hanlin Academy and a candidate for the future cabinet minister. And the Hanlin Academy is a department similar to the Central Party School in later generations, and any person in it has a great future. In addition, Sun Dan is the emperor's personal secretary and directly grasps the secrets.

Therefore, although he walked fast along the way, the newspaper was not slow along the way, and it was still delivered like flowing water.

In the past few days since he left the capital, there have been a lot of things in the capital. First of all, the birth of Zhang Guifei's son naturally made Huang Jin's group overjoyed. You must know that Zhang Guifei's subordinates have gathered a large number of people, all pointing to this prince to seek glory and wealth. In this regard, Sun Dan was a little worried. Empress Chen's son, Zhu Zaiyan, was not a character who should have appeared.

In real history, the child was miscarried before it was born. Now, although Sun Dan suddenly appeared in this history and was born because of the butterfly effect, history still has its inertia. Although the child did not have a miscarriage as recorded in history, he looked a little dumb, as if he was not very clever.

For these children who were born one after another, Sun Dan was also very troubled. In the past few years, I don't know what evil I have fallen into. Empress Chen's son didn't say anything, even his son Sun Dan, Sun Xiaojue, was wooden by nature, and even if he grew up, he was an honest man.

I think that although my dignified Sun Dan, the world's number one talent, was plagiarized, he was clever in both his previous life and this life! How did you give birth to such a child?

As for Queen Chen, although she is anxious, she is not stupid, why is her child like that.

Fortunately, Roy is very smart, and he really looks like a grandson monkey.

Jiajing has not made Zhu Zaiyan the crown prince for so long, and he also suspects that the child has a problem with his IQ. Now, Concubine Zhang Guifei has given birth to a prince, and this dispute between the princes is on the table, and there is no way to avoid it.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan felt a little headache: it seems that the only way to successfully let Zhu Zaisu ascend to the throne of the crown prince is to contact the ministers of the DPRK and China. The group of old ministers with Mao Cheng as the leader naturally had to continue to determine the crown prince according to the 1un principle. The so-called has a grandchild, but there is no grandchild, and it is not idle. In this way, Mao Cheng and they should be the staunchest supporters of themselves and Empress Chen.

However, the emperor and his ministers have become inseparable, and they are winning over the ministers, isn't this against the emperor?

With Jiajing's temperament, he will definitely not give himself good fruits to eat.

Looking at the river, Sun Dan was a little distracted for a while.

Fortunately, it's not all bad news on the Beijing side.

Sun Dan's proposal to let 6 money banks come forward to raise funds and then lend them to the household department for disaster relief was approved by the emperor, and the household department was also poor and crazy, so he was naturally extremely happy. And so it did. In the past few days, people from six money banks and major firms in Shanxi, Anhui, and Huguang are preparing for the issuance of bonds. The big merchants in the provinces were also interested in buying these bonds, and it seems that the names of the merchants had subscribed for about 800,000 taels of silver.

Sun Dan roughly estimated that in two months, Qian Zhuang should be able to raise two million taels of silver. The money was lent to the household, and he didn't expect the household department to return it in a short time, so he kept eating his interest anyway. Speaking of which, the department is also a good customer!

This matter is beneficial to the country and the people, and you can take good benefits, so why not do it?

Relying on Fangshan Weaving and 6 money houses, Sun Dan is now also a famous rich man in the world. has such a big fortune, even if his son has no interest in the future, he should be able to live a good life. Looking at his temperament, it should be impossible to study, but this career is not going all the way. It's a big deal to let him attack his title in the future, and then fill a position in the yamen such as Qin Tianjian of the Li Fan Yuan, and be a noble official, and he won't have to worry about being a father in this life.

Besides, in the future, when her daughter marries Zhu Zaidi, the Sun family will also become a royal prince, and life should be nourishing. The only trouble is that Queen Chen's son is a little stupid, married to Sun Luoyi, a tricky and eccentric little girl, and I don't know how much suffering she will have to suffer in the future.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan couldn't help but feel a little funny. In ancient times, born in a noble family like the Sun family, it was nonsense for a woman to say free love. However, it is also her blessing to be able to marry the honest son of Queen Chen. As a parent, I naturally hope that my son-in-law is an honest man, and he is too shrewd, and his daughter will be bullied.

But...... Sun Dan suddenly remembered that if Zhang Guifei's son became the emperor in the future, the Sun family would probably not be good. Don't say it's for yourself, even if it's for your son and daughter, you have to try your best to send Zhu Zaiyan to the position of the prince.

For the sake of my children, my grandson Dan will do whatever it takes and means to do whatever it takes.

Thinking about this truth, Sun Dan's heart also settled down.

This time I came to Huai'an Mansion, ostensibly to preside over Nanzhili's imperial examination this year, but in fact, I was tasked with supervising river affairs.

The governor of Nanhe River Yamen is Wang Shu, this guy is Huang Jin's right-hand man and money bag, so he has to find a way to do it. When the river workers and the Cao Yun saw that the sky was full of silver coming in and out, I didn't believe that he was as clear as a puddle of water.

Besides, this guy is very rich, he only earns a lot of money every year, needless to say, he must be a big corrupt official.

After two more days on the Grand Canal, we finally arrived in Huai'an. Along the way, the rain never stopped. The northern Jiangsu Plain is fertile for thousands of miles, the soil layer is extremely thick, and it has rained for so many days, and the soil has expanded and softened. Sun Dan saw that the pedestrians on the shore walked three steps and skated, and he was very embarrassed. Moreover, there are more and more people, gradually converging into a flow of people, heading north. When I asked, I found out that because the rain had been falling for too long, some places had been waterlogged.

It seems that this year's flood prevention situation cannot be overlooked.

probably knew that Sun Dan came to the south this time to make trouble for himself, so Wang Shu simply didn't come to see Sun Dan.

After Sun Dan settled in Huai'an, the prefect and Xuedao came to meet him, and the people of Xuetai shouted cordially.

Sun Dan probably asked some about the situation of the school in Huai'an Prefecture, and he also knew something about the people in Shilin in this place. According to his plan, he should preside over the government examination in Huai'an this month, and then return to Beijing when this is done. Wait until after the autumn, and then go to Nanjing to preside over the hospital examination.

After beating away the officials and prefects of the Yamen, Sun Dan rested in Huai'an for a day, saying that he would go to the local county to inspect the county schools in various places, so he took a boat out of the city, aiming directly at Suining.

There is a big problem with the river embankment project in Suining, and Wang Shu must be killed.
