The Jiahan Canal is only one-third of the whole way being dug now, and Zhu Changhao believes that in September, or at the end of October at most, the canal will basically be able to be completed in its entirety.

It's just that the previous stipulation to dig a 100-meter hole is still a bit too small. Now, in Huaishuwan next to Shiyan, Zhu Changhao and Liu Zhengjin decided after some discussion that they should dig a hole about one mile from the side of Jutingzhuang, that is, five hundred meters, and this decision was immediately sent to Hanzhong

This matter of digging the canal, let Song Yingxing operate it with confidence, Zhu Changhao will be in the fields of Shiyan County, and there are several small steel workshops to see their operation process.

After reading it, he entered Shiyan County and some relatively large villages and towns around the wharf, and Zhu Changhao was a little frightened as a result of the inspection.

In Shiyan County, which is under the jurisdiction of Yunyang Prefecture, the industrial production and agricultural production seen are still agricultural production, and even the water and land wharves are a little depressed, and the only thing that prevails is the gambling house and the green building.

In the 21st century, this can be regarded as a relatively developed local service industry.

But this is not what Zhu Changhao wants to see, many water and land docks, the porters who carry bags, after a hard day's efforts, are reluctant to even eat a good meal, as soon as they get to work, they immediately enter the gambling house, and if they divide by two, they will send the day's hard-earned money into the pocket of the casino owner, his children and wife are still waiting for the rice to be cooked at home, but the husband even lost all the money, so he had to pick up some rotten vegetable leaves in the vegetable market and cook them to satisfy his hunger.

Not to mention the Qinglou, that thing is a knife for scraping bones, a lot of young and strong men, sweating during the day, Qinglou** at night, getting up the next day, is a soft-footed shrimp.

But the livelihood of the Qinglou, for the young man, it is an addictive activity, seven times at night is not enough, when carrying the bag during the day, I think about my own good appearance in the Qinglou, the "rice bag, meat mound", just think about the navel of these young and strong men, I can't help but want to pee.

Besides, Shiyan is a plain formed by the alluvial accumulation of the three rivers of the Blocked Water River, the Han River, and the Dan River, and it has not developed. It's like a man who marries three wives and doesn't get one pregnant. If he keeps the fertile fields and cultivates, but he can't produce a harvest, he must be hunting wild food outside and abandoning his own fields, or this man's subordinates are sick.

Therefore, guiding the addition of gambling has become a big thing for Zhu Changhao to do in the realm of Shiyan.

Gambling is actually very simple, in the casino, there are always some people who lose money and some people who win.

The people who win the money must be happy, generally the bookmakers in the gambling house, and the people who lose money, many of them are even more unwilling, as long as the unwillingness to change from heart disease to action.

Zhu Changhao asked the inspection department and the local county government to immediately show the announcement that the gambling house strictly prohibits fighting, provocation and brawl, and demanded that both parties make a fair and just living.

Besides, once the gambling house is thoroughly investigated, Zhu Changhao does not believe that the people in charge of the gambling house are all white.

As long as you pull out the radish and bring out the mud, then the matter is much easier, and then, the gambling house is rectified, and all the bookmakers who want to open a gambling house must apply to the local county government and the inspection department, and issue a gambling house license.

Of course, only those who apply for a pass can be executed, and if the application is not passed, then wait for the arrest and confiscation of the income from the gambling house!

In the gambling house, after all, there are thugs, commonly known as watchers, as soon as Zhu Changhao issued this announcement, he wanted to arrest these watchers.

The unwilling action soon appeared, and the "business" of the inspection department came on, and sure enough, in the back office of the inspection department, Zhu Changhao had not finished eating a meal of soup cakes, and someone beat the drum.

Li Baozhong, director of the Shiyan Inspection Department, immediately listened to their complaints, and it turned out that this group of people were from the inner villagers of Nanyang Mansion.

Today, to transport a batch of iron ingots from Shiyan cloud to Xiangyang, just after loading, look at the sailing time is still early, plan to go to the gambling house to catch two handfuls, who ever thought, just because of the gambling house, the result of all the silver on the body lost, later, this group of people found that the people in the gambling house are not authentic, there is mercury in the sieve, there is a magnet under the sieve barrel, and some of the sieve points on the surface, the vermilion is not cinnabar, but rust, the most important thing is under the sieve barrel, there is a secret door, and the Dutch official also secretly changed the sieve.

This group of villagers was very angry, carrying a sieve and a sieve in their arms, and went to the inspection department to complain, outside the front hall of the inspection department, the thugs in the gambling house were still looking at the two people from the inner countryside.

Zhu Changhao saw the demonstration of these thugs in Tang, and he was not happy all of a sudden, and Li Baozhong, who had been secretly observing the prince, found that the prince's face was darkened.

He said angrily, "Stay in the two classes, and the others, take the oxen and carriage and go to the gambling house with the company." ”

Zhu Changhao saw Li Baozhong doing this decisively, nodded at him, Li Baozhong also saw the prince's nod and approval, and his heart was as intoxicated as if he had eaten a smile and was half a step crazy.

Immediately let these two people lead the way and go to the gambling house to investigate.

Zhu Changhao was also very curious, since he was going to investigate and deal with the gambling house, let's take a look.

Zhu Changhao, who was accompanied by twenty-eight guards, walked slowly towards the gambling house in civilian clothes.

This gambling house is the largest in Shiyan County, and its name is called "Liangyou Gambling Square", Zhu Changhao looked at the name of this gambling house, "Phew! Returning good friends to the gambling house, many people have been ruined by you, their wives are separated, they are good friends, and they are almost the same. ”

That's not all, what made Zhu Changhao a little angry was that when the team of the Inspection Department was about to enter, there were hundreds of thugs in the gambling hall who blocked the door and did not let them in.

The Inspection Division, as an official agency under the rule of Prince Rui, now wants to enforce the law, and there are people who obstruct it.

This is a red fruit slapping Zhu Changhao's face!

Li Baozhong had never encountered this situation, and he was suddenly stunned. Zhu Changhao couldn't see it, and immediately said in a secret voice, "First of all, warn me, if you don't let it, your inspection department belongs to the military management, and it will be implemented in accordance with the "Military Management Regulations" of the palace, and you will be killed!" ”

In the "Military Management Regulations" of the Rui Wangfu, there are seven major killings, those who obstruct the soldiers' combat and obstruct the soldiers' march, after warnings, do not cooperate, and they will be killed without forgiveness.

When the warning was completed, he didn't even let it, Li Baozhong's eyes bulged, "Seven people came out of the queue and shot three times in a row." ”

"Bang, bang, bang", when the sound of thunderbolts was still echoing in my ears, there were already sixteen thugs blocking the door, lying in a pool of blood.

Zhu Changhao has no good impression of these thugs who help and abuse. In fact, these people are basically scum, and it is their storage zài that disrupts the market in Shiyan County, so that some businessmen who really want to do some business and set up a workshop cannot get a good production and operation environment.

The dealer of the gambling house didn't expect that the inspection department really dared to kill people, and suddenly, he shouted loudly, "The inspection department has killed the people, the inspection department has killed the people, Zhou County order, help." ”

Li Baozhong heard that there were still people in this gambling house who were so noisy, "Prepare your hands, as long as you don't shoot to death, let the restless people shut up."

"Whoosh, whoosh" a few times, on the arms, feet, shoulders, feather arrows we trembled gently, and in an instant moans and shouting mothers came out.

The gambling house finally entered, and a thin man like a hemp monkey saw the inspection department coming in, and immediately covered his crotch with his right hand, and turned around to escape.

Li Baozhong looked at it and shouted, "The crossbowmen are ready, if anyone dares to escape, eight arrows will be fired in tandem and shot directly." ”

"Yes!"

According to Li Baozhong's regulations, once you step into the door of the gambling house, all of them must be arrested and taken away.

This time, a total of 214 people were arrested, including the gambling owner who covered his crotch.

In fact, the gambling owner covered his crotch, not because Dan Dan and Ding Ding were injured by a crossbow arrow, but because a crossbow arrow was shot at the root of the thigh, and the position was more tricky.

The wounded were all thrown on the oxen cart like garbage.

Just when Li Baozhong took away the gambling equipment, gambling money, and a cadre in the gambling house, the county order of Shiyan County came on Wednesday.

This week, the county magistrate saw that his cash cow was about to disappear, and immediately asked urgently,

"Director Li, you took away the people under the rule of this county like this, but it violated the laws of the imperial court?"

"Oh, Zhou County Order, has the law been violated by this director?"

Just when the county order surnamed Zhou and Li Baozhong were still about to confront each other, Zhu Changhao said directly to the guards around him, "Show the waist card of the palace, take this bullshit county order to this king, if this guy is restless, directly remove his chin." ”

"Yes, lord."

When Wednesday Hao still wanted to talk about the law again, the four palace guards, after showing the palace waist card to them, the three of them stepped forward and twisted Wednesday Hao, and with a "Gaba" sound, Wednesday's jaw fell.

The catcher in the county government still wanted to use the knife, but when he saw the black hole in the hand of the guard, he had no choice but to put down the embroidered spring knife.

Wednesday seemed to have symptoms of a stroke, drooling all the way, and was escorted to the inspection department.

In the afternoon, the entire gambling house in Shiyan was crushed by the people of the inspection department, and the casino was messy, like 10,000 grass and mud horses whistling by.

Three days later, the announcement of the inspection department posted that 17 gambling house owners were executed because they involved human lives, and Wednesday Hao was also beheaded because the things that hurt nature and reason between this person and the gambling house owner were too deeply implicated.

This time, Zhu Changhao's palace guard of honor, crowned and uniformed, and carried out the beheading.

Watching the forty-five heads fall to the ground, Zhu Changhao knew that this Shiyan was going to be on the right path from today.

The aftermath will be handed over to Li Baozhong, because the inspection will continue.

Gucheng, Xinye, Dengzhou, Nanyang, took a boat from the Baihe River to the south, and finally arrived in Xiangyang.

Zhe Zhongxin, as the governor of Xiangyang Huitongyi City, took Zhu Changhao to visit.

In this Xiangyang, accompanied by Zhi Zhongxin, Zhu Changhao saw a lot of large-scale workshops.

Especially with the help of the Ministry of Industry of Ruiwangfu, the Xiangyang Iron and Steel Joint Venture Workshop is no longer called a workshop, but can be called a steel city.

The iron sheets, steel pipes, and various ordnance produced in it can be calculated with "10,000".
