Chapter 124: Greet each other with integrity
Can a woman die if she cries twice? Qin Jin felt that a woman who sincerely begged for death would not cry so much. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
If you want to die, you will hang yourself, throw yourself into the river, jump into a well, and wipe your neck, most of the people who bluff and cry are deliberately messing around, and they will never die.
Qin Jin, who originally deliberately approached this family, turned around and walked forward. Didn't Zhou Ning want to go in and have a look? He deliberately did not go in, and did not give him a chance to go in.
Zhou Ning looked at the family, only a few steps away, but he had to accompany Qin Jin to go farther and farther. Zhou Ning sighed, flicked his sleeves and followed Qin Jin quickly, walking towards the embankment.
The embankment in Qinghe Village was repaired by the former magistrate with funds from the county, and the repair was not as good as the tofu slag project, not to mention that it had not been repaired long enough.
The thirty-mile embankment was only repaired for seven miles, and the former magistrate also visited the embankment to inspect it, but he just glanced at it and left. Zhou Ning did not pursue the specific situation of this project.
When Zhou Ning arrived, it was at the turn of spring and summer, and the first priority was flood control. Zhou Ning found that the embankment in Qinghe Village was not the same, and he was immediately furious.
He took the financial account book and asked Baozheng of Qinghe Village: "Does the county owe you a penny?" ”
Baozheng didn't expect Xinzhi County to be so serious, and it must be reasonable for the predecessor to be so indulgent, and this Xinzhi County came up to find trouble without even saying hello.
Usually, when Xinzhi County arrives, he will convene Baozheng from nearby villages and some prominent figures in the county to hold a banquet, saying that they will get acquainted with each other first, which will be conducive to future work.
In fact, it is to tell you that you have changed the county master again, and those who should have an attitude should hurry up and have an attitude, so as not to find you troubled in the future.
Zhou Ning didn't set up this banquet at all, and a few of them took the initiative to send it to the door before they even saw Zhou Ning and were sent back.
Bao Zheng wanted to talk to Zhou Ning alone for a while, but Zhou Ning didn't give him a chance at all, he admitted that the county did not owe him money for the project, and Zhou Ning immediately turned his face.
"Not to mention that you only built seven miles of the thirty-mile embankment, let's talk about how you built the seven-mile embankment." Zhou Ning ordered the officials to stab the river embankment with water and fire sticks.
Even if it is a river embankment with compacted soil, it will not be afraid of a wooden stick to poke it, but the ridiculous thing is that the embankment in Qinghe Village is not compacted at all, and there is not much serious soil, it is all sand.
The crackling stick knocked the river embankment miserably, Bao Zheng was so frightened that his soul flew away, and Zhou Ning did not continue to scold him.
He just ordered him to tear down the seven-mile embankment and rebuild the thirty-two-mile embankment, and if it cannot be completed within the time limit or the quality is not up to standard, the board, clamping stick, and prison meal will be delivered free of charge.
It is impossible for Baozheng to embezzle the project money alone, but he has a hard time, and Zhou Ning has no heart to listen to him complain about this suffering. Zhou Ning only knew that the county did not lose his money, and he would find a way to go with the money for reconstruction.
"Thirty-two miles of embankment, I broke one of your bones by an inch, if you have the guts, you can wait until the time comes to see if I am true to my word."
With a cruel word, Zhou Ning walked away. Bao was able to stand up with the help of two people, sweat soaking through the clothes on his back.
Zhou Ning had no relatives in Yunjiang County, and only took a scholar with him when he went to work. Bao Zheng walked all the way to Lu Qing, and invited Lu Qing to eat, drink and have fun, and Lu Qing readily agreed.
What Baozheng never expected was that in the end, it was not him who invited Lu Qinghu to eat Haisai, but Lu Qing invited him for entertainment, and all the expenses were settled by Lu Qing himself.
It took all the hard work to repair the twenty-six miles of embankment, and seeing that the deadline was approaching, he hurriedly reported the truth to the top.
Zhou Ning saw that the embankment was really repaired well, and Baozheng was forced to borrow money everywhere, so he checked the county's accounts, and there was indeed no money to repair the embankment.
He used his own money to repair the remaining Liuli embankment, set up a tent on the side of the embankment, and personally guarded it for more than ten days until it was completed, ensuring that there was no problem with the quality, and then he returned to the county government.
Originally, Baozheng hated Zhou Ning very much, but when he saw that Zhou Ning had been guarding the construction site for more than ten days and had not even drunk a sip of water in the village, he began to reflect on himself.
Although Qinghe Village has not had a major flood for decades, the water and fire are ruthless, who can know when the flood will come? Once there is a flood, this embankment protects Qinghe Village.
No matter how big the water is, it can't flood the county government, so Zhou Ning scattered his private money to repair the river embankment, and personally supervised the completion. As the Baozheng of Qinghe Village, he embezzled public funds and used a layer of floating sand to deal with things.
If it weren't for Zhou Ning's iron-faced selflessness, Qinghe Village would not have such a good embankment. Needless to say, the role of the river embankment is not to be said, and children also know how important the river embankment is, but adults are dizzy in front of the silver.
The Su Causeway of West Lake is only three kilometers long, which is enough to make Su Shi famous for eternity.
Zhou Ning repaired the thirty-two miles of embankment, and the entire Yunjiang County did not have to worry about flooding. Bao Zheng stepped forward and proposed to give this embankment a name, just 'Zhou Embankment'.
Zhou Ning said with a smile: "Most of this embankment is built in Qinghe Village, and it is built by the main force of Qinghe Village, so it is called 'Qinghe Embankment'." ”
Since the completion of the Qing River Embankment, Zhou Ning is still the first time to revisit the old place, and there is an indescribable feeling when standing on the embankment. This is the first major event that Zhou Ning did after becoming an official, and it is also the first satisfactory project.
A willow tree and a peach on both sides of the river embankment, this scenery is simply beautiful. Qin Jin also only heard that the river embankment in Qinghe Village was beautifully repaired, and the immersive feeling was really like a person swimming in a painting.
Qin Jin and Zhou Ning were walking and chatting on the river embankment, and after walking not far, they saw a group of people running towards them. Qin Jin didn't know the local people, but he could also see that they were villagers in his village.
On the way to the prison, I met an old lady who stopped a sedan chair to complain, and when I entered Qinghe Village, I heard someone crying, and then I came to the moat and a group of people ran over.
Qin Jin smiled secretly in his heart, "This Yunjiang County is enough for Zhou Ning's headache, I don't plan to trouble him today, why are so many people coming to block my way?" ’。
Qin Jin's visit to Yunjiang County is very high-profile, and the news of the night banquet at the wharf has long been spread all over the streets and alleys. When the common people heard that the imperial history came down to investigate the people's situation, they would naturally try their best to come forward to complain.
Qin Jin thought that these people who came in front of him were here to complain to him, Zhou Ning frowned slightly, he recognized that it was Qinghe Village Baozheng who ran in the front.
Qin Jin and Zhou Ning walked into the village in official uniforms, followed by two official sedan chairs and accompanying people. Although they did not deliberately inform the village, this honor guard cannot be regarded as low-key.
Bao Zheng heard that there were two adults in the village, he hurriedly ran up the river embankment with people to greet them, and ran to the two of them and knelt down: "Qinghe Village Baozheng Cao Yuanjie knocked on the two adults!" ”
