King Ning turned his head to look at Zhao Junma, Zhao Junma thought about it, nodded and said, "It seems that there is such a thing."

King Ning also looked at Lu Fei and said, "You have more or less mentioned a place three times before and after, what you want to say is related to this place?" ”

Lu Fei bowed his hand to King Ning, "King Ning is really careful, that's right, West Lake"

Zhao Jun repeated puzzledly, "West Lake? Tell me more details."

Lu Fei picked up the tea, dipped his fingers in the tea and drew on the smooth floor, "King Ning, Junma, you see, this is the Dragon Lake in Susong, I have inquired with the locals, the terrain of the Dragon Lake is slightly lower than the Great Lake, the perennial flood is serious, as long as the flood season of the Yangtze River arrives, the water of the Dragon Lake rises more than a zhang, and twenty miles to the right of the Dragon Lake is the Zhao family's three hundred miles of water surface of the Great Lake, the lake is wide, but the water potential is not like the Dragon Lake flooding every year, as long as it is repaired at the mouth of the Yangtze River in the upper reaches, I believe that this big lake will be calm."

King Ning couldn't guess what Lu Fei was going to say at this time, and Zhao Junma was even more confused. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Lu Fei continued to draw on the ground, "In the dry season, the water potential of the Great Lake will fall, at this time, step up the construction of the Yangtze River embankment, so that the water of the Yangtze River will not pour into the lake again, what will happen, that will be thousands of acres of river beaches in the receding area along the entire Great Lake, what can these places do, reclamation, within a year, there will be thousands of acres of fertile land, and the fields relying on the Great Lake should be regarded as high-quality fertile land."

King Ning squinted his eyes and heard a little taste, but this would not be able to add 240,000 taels of dividends a year.

Lu Fei has just made a start, and it is purely a cold dish before a big meal.

……

King Ning looked at the waterline drawn by Lu Fei on the floor, and nodded, "What you said seems to be somewhat feasible, but the water of the Yangtze River is surging, and it is still flooding every year, this is a bottomless pit, there are thousands of acres of land in this area, and it is impossible to deduct the silver for repairing the embankment, and when the lake rises, what is the use of these extra fields?" ”

Lu Fei straightened up, sat back on the chair, and smiled slightly, "King Ning hit the nail on the head, and immediately said Guan Jian, yes, the key is to repair the Yangtze River embankment, this embankment repair is originally a matter of the imperial court, but this is related to the interests of the people of Quansu Song and the Zhao family, you can't expect the imperial court to allocate silver, it's not me who boasts, as long as the matter of repairing the embankment is handed over to me to do, I dare not say that it is solid, at least it can ensure that the lake will be free of flooding for thirty years."

On the same day, Lu Fei personally inspected the surrounding area of the competition under the pretext of collecting fishing rent, and went to the mouth of the Yangtze River under the leadership of Jiang Wanhe, and found that the people here suffered from floods all year round.

Lu Fei checked the archives, every year the imperial court will allocate 220,000 silver for the purpose of preventing interrogation, but these 2 million taels, that is the two capitals and 13 provinces, including the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, Hongze Lake and other national water conservancy silver, can really use Susong is only a few thousand taels, this bit of silver and then let the layers of greed, really use the real use, even a salary is not enough to pay, that is, just find some grass oranges, this to make up for the plug, the big water is not used for a fart.

But Lu Fei only manages Susong, there is a way that everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, who cares about the frost on the tiles of others, with his advanced ideas and knowledge in later generations, and then borrow the financial resources of the Zhao family, and do his best, only to protect Susong This section He still has this self-confidence, anyway, he doesn't need the people to take the silver, and he is even less likely to give one or two, the Zhao family's fat does not eat for nothing, nominally to make money for the Zhao family, but it is also really for the people in Susong County on the Yangtze River to seek back benefits.

When King Ning heard this, he was a little disappointed, the length of the Yangtze River flowing through the Susong section is at least more than 20 miles, and it is necessary to build a river embankment that will be guaranteed for 30 years, and this silver must be more than 100,000 taels.

Zhao Jun Matsu has been in business for generations, and this truth can be understood at all, of course, he can also see that this is what people do, so he said, "It turns out that Lu Zhixian is also a businessman, you want to use my Zhao family's silver to make political achievements for you, you have built a levee to ask the emperor for good, and my Zhao family will get thousands of acres of land in this area?" ”

Lu Fei knew that he would say this, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about Zhao Junma, listen to me slowly, I have found an experienced river worker to calculate, the Yangtze River flows through Susong for about twenty miles, but it is not said that the Yangtze River will be built along the Yangtze River for twenty miles, some waterways pass by the mountains, and some sections of the river are far from the bottom of the two banks, what really needs to be repaired is only a few important places, repairing the river embankment is not about throwing how much silver, as long as every penny is used in practice, there is no embankment that cannot be repaired, only people who do not act, Ning Wang, do you say that this is the reason?"

King Ning nodded, he could see that Lu Fei was really thinking about it, and he also understood that the imperial court spent a lot of money to repair the embankment every year, not that it was not repaired well, but that the silver fell into the pockets of private individuals in the end, and the water in the coming year washed away the repaired embankment, and the people from above investigated, and the embankment was washed down, who can be sure that this embankment was not repaired before the water rose, and when the water did not rise, who came down to check whether the silver was really repaired, if God did not break the new embankment this year, Local officials can also ask the emperor for merit and rewards with a shy face.

Lu Fei continued, "The river worker helped me calculate the account, there are three important places in the Susong land boundary, if it is a major repair, the material processing cost is about 50,000 taels, of course, this matter is not all the Zhao family's business, the county government should also make some efforts, I will ask the emperor to approve it again."

Once the embankment is completed, how many industries will be driven, and the wages paid to the local people alone are enough to solve the livelihood problems of many people, and then there is a large amount of stone to be used to repair such a levee, just right, the mountain stone factory is about to open, and the embankment will be repaired to get off to a good start, and the employment of the stone factory is certainly not enough for a mountain bandits, and then the city's unemployed gangsters are all invited to work, which maintains the stability of the county's public security, and the whole county is revitalized.

When Zhao Junma heard this, he was presentable, nodded and said, "Even if the embankment is repaired, it will not be decided for thirty years, so what next?" ”

Lu Fei took a sip of tea, "Well, there is heaven and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou, the reason why Hangzhou attracts celebrities and celebrities to linger is because of the West Lake, the beauty of the West Lake is unique, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, Zhao Junma, have you ever thought about it, is it a bit overkill for you to use the three hundred miles of the Great Lake to collect tens of thousands of taels of fishing rent a year?" ”

Zhao Junma asked rhetorically, "What do you mean?" ”

Lu Fei solemnly said, "Hangzhou can have a West Lake, why can't Susong also have one?"

When Zhao Junma heard this, he retorted, "You also know that West Lake is blessed, it is born to grow, you say that Su Song has it?" ”

Lu Fei doesn't blame him for his ignorance, in this era the development of scenic tourism areas is not known to the world, it's a big deal that a few celebrities and gentlemen went to which famous mountain to leave a word and turn around, thinking that only the resort created by God is worthy of people to take a look, like the modern tourist area, that scenic spot, almost all of them are artificially created and processed, the big lake has such good conditions, make good use of it, don't worry about not being able to build a second West Lake, anyway, the Zhao family has silver.

Lu Fei said, "Of course, things are man-made, we can visit all over the famous lake resorts, spend a lot of money to renovate the big lake, are you afraid that it will not attract people?" ”

King Ning was thinking carefully with half-squinted eyes at this time, he knew that Lu Fei still had a lot to say.

Zhao Junma was a little upset, and said with a smile, "Even if you decorate the Great Lake better than the West Lake, what can you do?" Where does my Zhao family collect cash?"

Lu Fei said, "Junma asked well, where will this silver come from, and when the reputation of this lake goes out in the future, it will attract dignitaries and nobles from all over the world, Junma, you can build more inns and restaurants on the shore of this lake, and it is best to create a hedonistic street that collects eating, drinking and having fun, so that these uncles who come here to play will spend money on their lives, and you will not be able to recover the money compared to spending silver?" ”

King Ning opened his eyes slightly when he heard this, and when he heard the words, he really had a little taste, and naturally Zhao Junma also smelled the breath of silver, and said seriously, "Then how can I make the Great Lake famous all over the world?"

Lu Fei smiled, "The charm of advertising is endless"

Zhao Junma didn't understand.

Lu Fei said, "Celebrity effect, when the picturesque scenery of the big lake is created in the future, the county horse can invite the current celebrity Gao Shi to dance and ink here, and leave more poems and sentences, such as Tang Bohu in Yangzhou, these people come to visit, let them go back to the legend, and then send people to the south and north to advocate this, it is difficult to think of being famous, of course, the most famous and prestigious person in this Tang Dynasty is the current emperor, the county horse you can drum up a few auspicious things around the lake, wonders and other things to attract the emperor, If you ask the emperor to inscribe a plaque again, then you are afraid that the people of the world will not step on the mountain, can you count the silver on this hedonistic street? ”

As soon as King Ning heard this, he opened his mouth, "Okay, Lu Zhixian is really extraordinary and unconventional."

Zhao Junma is a little uncertain, the idea is good, but now it's just on paper, if it's really real, whether it can really be like this, he can't be sure, listen to how much capital this pen has.

Zhao Junma asked Lu Fei, "What Lu Zhixian said is novel and peculiar, unheard of since ancient times, how much capital do you have to invest to create the scale you said?"

Lu Fei stretched out his palm, "500,000 taels of silver"

Zhao Junma almost didn't choke on saliva, good guy, 500,000 taels, the entire Tang Dynasty income is only 20 million taels, he immediately wanted to refuse, do business is not familiar with it, Zhao Junma has never heard of this kind of thing, he has to throw so much silver into it, at least he can't agree for a while.

But King Ning said, "Qingfeng, although Lu Zhixian's move seems to be extremely risky, it also has immeasurable profits, doing business, it is nothing more than profit-seeking, there is a risk is right, not to mention that this is also a good thing for the benefit of one party, if you can really create a famous lake comparable to West Lake, in the long run, this financial source will be endless."

In fact, King Ning has another idea that he didn't say, that is, he can attract the emperor to come, but he has always been worried about these things, as for how much money he makes, he also understands, this kind of thing must not make money, even if it is really a business road, then it will have to wait for ten or eight years to see the effect, if he can spend 500,000 taels to buy an emperor to go south, it is already worth it.

Zhao Junma was also helpless, and said, "It's all up to my father."

King Ning said, "No, no, this is your Zhao family's business, even if I am your father-in-law, it is not easy to ask the Zhao family, these are still up to you."

How could Zhao Junma have this power, he looked at Lu Fei solemnly and said, "Lu Zhixian has a long-term vision, the Zhao family should deal with this matter, and the specific matters will be discussed in the long term in the future."

When Lu Fei heard this, he patted his thigh and stood up, "Okay, the Zhao family is really wealthy, this matter is proposed by me, I will naturally work hard to the end, rest assured, from beginning to end, I will not charge a penny, in this way, there are still some things in the county government that have not been dealt with in the past few days, and when I am busy for a while, I will personally go to the West Lake to collect scenery, including repairing the embankment, and after a month, I will definitely hand over the construction drawings to you."

Zhao Junma felt that he really couldn't help with these things, since he had decided to do it, he would still do his best, so he sincerely bowed his hand, "Lord Lu, these are all counting on you, if there is anything to tell you to open your mouth, ask for people and things, and listen to you"

Lu Fei didn't expect this to be so smooth, he couldn't believe it, how could he think about it for a while, since they agreed, then there was a lot of work to do, although there seemed to be no interest for Lu Fei, but these projects are equivalent to the use of most of the county's folk craftsmen, the people live and work in peace and contentment, there are fewer cases in the county, he has more time to come out to do other things, time is money, just the month he took office for almost half a month has been entangled by the mountain bandits, I couldn't do anything.,I almost put my life into it.。。

Besides, when these projects are completed, the scenic area is built, and there are many restaurants, song halls, and entertainment venues along the coast. Can the emperor not be promoted? These are all invisible real benefits, I heard Li Shun say that in the Tang Dynasty, there were many county magistrates with mediocre political performance, who had never moved their nests after decades, and the officials in the county government had changed several times, but the county master was still the same year after year, and Lu Fei didn't want to stay in Susong.

The affairs of the Zhao family are in order, but the county town has become a pot of porridge, Zhao Bantou hurriedly ran from the county seat to the county horse mansion, and asked Master Lu to go back quickly, something big happened.

At noon, Lu Fei returned to the county office, but the county government was overcrowded today, Li Shun took Lu Fei from the side door to the back office, and roughly told the story of what happened.

What Lu Fei didn't expect was that for the sudden death of the commander of the government camp, which made the people of Susong County have a great panic, originally thought that there were officials and troops outside the city to suppress the formation, and those scattered bandits did not dare to act rashly, but now that it is good, Lu Fei's approach is self-defeating, and he passed the news out prematurely, and said that the army will return to the division and return to the station in a few days, and after the army leaves, who will protect the safety of the people.

The first battle of the mountain, the tragic situation of hundreds of corpses under the mountain has long been known to the household, the bandits have the strength to fight with the official army, although most of them have been suppressed, but it is still a big disaster, there has always been no war in Susong City, there is no standing army, once the bandits want to raise the division to ask for the guilt, the county town will never have peace, the people understand that the power of the county government alone can not confront the bandits, for this reason, the rich households and merchants in the city have gathered to the county government, claiming that the county government is the master, and the people are peaceful.

Hearing this, Lu Fei felt that his approach was too hasty, and he only blindly eliminated the opponent, but ignored the thoughts of the common people, only Lu Fei himself understood the scattering of bandits, and even the bandit leader Ling Dan had no way to recall his subordinates in a short period of time, and there was no way to gather the remnants of the bandits by themselves, but the people did not know the inside story.

Not only that, but killing General Zhang also left another consequence, after Zhou Gonggong heard that General Zhang Shen died, he was so shocked that he didn't even have time to say goodbye to Lu Fei and returned to Beijing early in the morning with the guard of honor. This practice made the people think that Susong City was not safe, and even the emperor's holy mission ran away.

Lu Fei asked Zhao Bantou to be called to the back garden.

Zhao Bantou was covered in sweat. Untie the waist knife and wash your face with water in the fish pond in the garden to go out of the heat.

Lu Fei asked, "Have you posted all the notices?" ”

Zhao Bantou wiped his face and said, "More than 180 villages in the county have been posted, and convening points have also been set up at several key crossings leading to the county seat under the mountain, so that bandits who see the notice will surrender to the county government, but when the subordinates leave." There have been no reports of anyone coming to the genus name."

Lu Fei frowned, "That's not right. Supposedly, my sincerity is real enough, why don't the bandits show up?"

Zhao Bantou said, "It may be that the army hasn't left yet, and they are afraid that they will be the same as last time."

Lu Feidao. "Even you think so? You didn't know that you didn't succeed last time, it was all a trick of Zhang Rake, and I almost didn't take out my heart."

Li Shun said, "But the bandits don't all think so, they only saw the knives of the official army, but they didn't see how you protected them, the county master, and it's understandable that you don't come out now."

Lu Fei said in a straight voice, "Why, it's all my fault."

Li Shun hurriedly gave up his hand. "Don't dare, sir, it's useless for us to know the inside story. At present, it is important to appease the rich families gathered in the county office, I heard that many rich families are already cleaning up, and they may leave the city at any time to avoid trouble."

Lu Fei said, "You are the master, the time has come to use you, what should you do?" ”

Li Shun thought for a while. "In my opinion, sir. You have saved your life from Li Zhong, who is the commander of the temporary battalion army, why don't you go to him and ask him to lead his troops into the city and stay for a long time, this may be the fastest way to calm down the panic in the city."

Lu Fei said as soon as he heard it, "What a bad idea, you really don't remember to eat, the last time Zhang Rake brought five hundred people into the city, it had already caused the whole city to jump, and now they have to recruit them all, don't even think about it, I wish they would go back to Anqing today, never come."

Lu Fei always believed that force alone could not solve the problem, and if the bandits and the people wanted to get along peacefully, they had to start with the hearts of the people.

"Please God Town House, it's not the best solution" Yun Niang walked into the garden with a tray.

Lu Fei turned around and patted his head, "Yun Niang, why did I forget you at the critical moment, hurry, give me a move, my county government is about to be trampled on"

Li Shun and Zhao Bantou both bowed their hands to Yun Niang, "Miss"

Yun Niang handed the cup in her hand to Lu Fei and said, "Come, Xiaofei, you drink a cup of sour plum soup to cool down the heat first, in fact, this matter is not difficult."

Lu Fei was secretly happy in his heart, looking at Yun Niang's expression, he knew that she had a way, took the sour plum soup and put it aside and said hurriedly, "Tell me quickly"

Yun Niang said, "The army must not enter the city, the bandits hate the officials and the army, which will only push them further, Xiaofei, do you remember what the holy decree says?" ”

Lu Fei remembered, but he didn't know which sentence Yun Niang said.

Yun Niang said, "Xiaofei, you will be promoted a few levels in one day, no matter what the emperor's considerations are, but the emperor made it very clear under the pretext that the merit of recruiting An, now, the bandits are dead and fleeing, and only Ling Dan's sister and Ling Ning are really recruiting An, how can this be explained to the emperor, so the army must not move"

Lu Fei nodded, Yun Niang's statement was exactly what he thought, but it was not as transparent as Yun Niang said.

"Then what do you have to do to get the best of both worlds," Lu Fei asked.

Yun Niang smiled, turned around and shouted behind the rockery, "Come out!" ”

Everyone looked over together, only to see the green clothes fluttering behind the rockery, and the chivalrous and tender green-shirted man Ling Dan was slowly coming towards everyone.

Lu Fei saw that it was 'Ling Dan', he had mixed feelings in his heart, forgot all his worries for a while, walked over quickly, held the arms of 'Ling Dan', looked at the pair of big watery eyes above the green scarf, and said excitedly, "Ling Dan, you, you are back, you are worried about me, is the injury on your foot better?" ”

Lu Fei's ungrateful behavior caused Yun Niang to frown for a while, when did she still have the heart to be affectionate here.

'Ling Dan' was also a kind of jealousy, pushed Lu Fei away, turned his head and said, "Ling Dan Ling Dan, do you only have my sister in your eyes?" ”

Lu Fei was stunned for a moment, touched his head, and suddenly said, "Ling Ning? You, how do you dress up with your sister"

Yun Niang walked up to Ling Ning, pulled her arm and said with a smile, "Xiao Fei, even you can't tell the difference, that means this plan is feasible."

Lu Fei thought about it and somewhat understood, "You mean to let her go to ...... instead of her sister?"

Yun Niang nodded, "That's right, for the people of the city, as long as the green-shirted man submits to the government, this is much more effective than the army, and on the other hand, it can also play a good role in persuading those bandits who are looking forward outside the city, which is more useful than Xiaofei's verbal promises to buy them a house to make a living."

Lu Fei said, "What is a verbal promise, I am sincere, this condition can be said to be the first since ancient times."

Yun Niang smiled, "This is also what makes them unbelievable, the more generous you are, the more they can't believe it, how about it, Ling Ning is enough to confuse the real with the fake."

Ling Ning chuckled and twisted in front of Lu Fei, "My lord, is it like?" ”

There is no need to doubt whether it is like or not, even if the two of them are put together and wearing the same clothes, not to mention the people outside, even Lu Fei can't tell who is who, these twin sisters are almost carved out of a mold, and even the voices when they speak are amazingly similar, if you want to say that there is a difference, there is a difference in the eyes and tone, there is majesty in Ling Dan's eyes, and his speech and demeanor are clean and neat, Ling Ning is so tender.

Lu Fei looked at it, but still felt that something was missing, so he picked up the waist knife that Zhao Bantou put aside, pulled out the knife, asked Ling Ning to take the knife in his hand, and said, "Look a little more ruthless"

Ling Ning learned her sister's usual posture, although she didn't have her sister's kung fu skills, but she was a little heroic and sassy with a few casual strokes.

Lu Fei clapped his hands, "Cheng, girl, it's up to you." ”
