Chapter 35 For the people's livelihood

After five or six days, he finally came back, and Li's mother had not let Li Shan leave her side for so long since Li Shan was born. Naturally, he was overjoyed to see Li Shan, pulling Li Shan to look left and right, and asked about the situation in the past few days. Li Shan didn't want Mother Li to know that he was being hunted down, so he briefly talked about what he had seen and heard in Jingmen, and then introduced Master Guangwu to Mother Li. When Li's mother was young, her husband believed in Buddhism, and she was very happy to see Master Guangwu, so she threw Li Shan aside, and Li Shan was not jealous.

Li Shanyou called the sister-in-law of the Zhao family and asked about inviting the Immortal Pavilion in the past few days, and he was relieved to see that everything was safe. At present, the important thing is to quickly find Lu Tingshi and put forward the plan for the construction of the river embankment. Li Shan didn't care about taking a break, and went directly to the Lu Assassin Mansion again. It's already Shen time, that is, around four o'clock in the afternoon. It is estimated that Lu Tingshi should be at home, Li Shan will finish this matter one day earlier, rest assured one day earlier, although this matter is not very good for Li Shan, but Li Shan wants to do it very much, maybe in a sense, Li Shan feels that only in this way can his crossing be meaningful, and his value is really related to history.

Li Shan of the Lu Thorn Mansion has only been here once, but there are already many people who know him, and he is meeting Steward Lu. The housekeeper knew Li Shan, and greeted him and said, "Master Li, are you here to find the master?" The master is in the study. In the past few days, the little boy has eaten the prescription you prescribed day by day, and it has returned to normal in the past few days, and the lord is very happy, and said that he wants to back up the gift to thank the child. Li Shan waved his hand and said: "How dare you work to assassinate Lord Shi, I happen to have something to find Lord Lu, please ask Steward Lu to lead the way." ”

Lu Jiuyuan is still in the study, these few times, Li Shan feels that Lu Jiuyuan is indeed a diligent and good official, meticulous in handling government affairs, and Li Shan saw Lu Jiuyuan in the study. Seeing Li Shan coming, Lu Jiuyuan was also very happy and said: "Why haven't you seen your nephew these days, I heard Bo Yan say that you have been out of the city these days." Li Shan shook his head and sighed: "The little nephew originally wanted to prepare a big gift for Uncle Lu, but the road was quite difficult, and the little nephew almost died in Huangquan." ”

This shocked Lu Jiuyuan, so he said: "Someone dares to assassinate the virtuous nephew, and he doesn't take my Jingzhou assassination history seriously, you can say it quickly, the virtuous nephew is kind to my child, and I will not sit idly by." In this one-acre and three-third of land in Jingzhou, there is no one who the old man does not dare to move. Of course Li Shan has to cry, even if he knows that Lu Jiuyuan can't do anything to Li Chengwei for the time being, it is still necessary to test Lu Jiuyuan's bottom line. Li Shan told Lu Jiuyuan about the distress on the way in 1510.

Lu Jiuyuan coughed a little embarrassed after hearing this, if there is a person here in Jingzhou that Lu Jiuyuan can't move, it is Li Chengwei, what he said just now was too slow and a little windy and flashed his tongue. Lu Jiuyuan patted Li Shan's shoulder and said, "Well, after all, Li Chengwei is a royal clan, and he can't move without full evidence, so I must first find those few culprits to correct the law and vent my anger to my virtuous nephew, how about it?" Li Shan was very surprised, he didn't expect Lu Jiuyuan to be willing to offend Li Chengwei for him head-on, but this is not what Li Shan wants, and there is no need to offend Li Chengwei now, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you Uncle Lu, the little nephew feels that there is no need to fight with Li Chengwei for those people." If it is not handled properly, maybe Li Chengwei will be found to retaliate more fiercely, and the little nephew feels that it is better to calm things down. ”

Lu Jiuyuan heard Li Shan say this, nodded and said, "What the virtuous nephew said is extremely true, and the old man is also angry for a while. I have also heard about you and Li Chengwei, it is inevitable that young people will be competitive, and if they are not as good as others, they should admit defeat, how can they do such things, I will find an opportunity to warn Li Chengwei. Li Shan observed his words and looks, and only then did he understand that this old fox was angry for a while, he was simply using this sentence to test me. Li Shan didn't say anything, it was important to get down to business, so he took out the river embankment construction map prepared by Li Shan from his sleeve and sent it to Lu Jiuyuan and said, "I can't give a big gift to my little nephew, but I still have a small gift." What do you think of the construction of this embankment? ”

Li Shan had talked to Lu Jiuyuan about the construction of the embankment before, and Li Shan's views were quite appreciated by Lu Jiuyuan, and now Li Shan took out the construction map of the embankment, and Lu Jiuyuan was naturally looking forward to it, so he quickly took it over and watched it carefully. The sky is a little dark today, and the indoor light is not very good, Li Shan looked at Lu Jiuyuan squinting his eyes and looking at the drawings carefully, and said in his heart, this Lord Lu is still short-sighted. In ancient times, there were quite few people who were short-sighted, but there were still some people who were short-sighted, but the Tang Dynasty did not have glasses, so there was nothing to be done about myopia. Li Shan smiled slightly, this was simple for him.

Lu Jiuyuan looked at it for a long time, and sighed with admiration: "In the past two years, I have been worried about the matter of the Jingzhou River Embankment, and I have been discussing it with the master of the engineer, but I can't come up with a good plan after all." This plan is indeed a good design, and I have never seen this kind of picture of the nephew, so it looks like this embankment is right in front of me. Li Shan used modern three-dimensional painting methods, Lu Jiuyuan naturally had never seen it, but Li Shan heard Lu Jiuyuan's words and seemed to have problems with his plan, and asked: "Uncle said so, is there any flaw in the design of the little nephew?" Lu Jiuyuan waved his hand and said: "This design is very good, but there is one point, that is, the amount of construction is too large, and the stone labor required is also huge." With Jingzhou's current financial resources, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete it in a short period of time. If there is a flood during this period, it will be difficult to clean up. ”

Li Shan also understands Lu Tingshi's thoughts, as an official, he does not seek merit but no fault. If there is a major accident, not only will the black yarn hat not be guaranteed, but I am afraid that there is a risk of life. Li Shandao: "Uncle Lu's concerns are also understood, but the little nephew feels that the previous plan can be completed in a short time, but once the flood is too big, it must not be prevented, and the repair method is really a symptom rather than a cure, as for the problem of funding and labor, the little nephew will try his best to find a way to believe that it can be solved." For the sake of the people of Jingzhou, the little nephew also asked his uncle to think twice. ”

Lu Jiuyuan listened to Li Shan's words, stroked his beard and pondered for a long time, and muttered in his mouth: "For the people of Jingzhou, for the people of Jingzhou." Suddenly, he slapped the table and said: "What the virtuous nephew said is really a good word, a good plan for the people of Jingzhou, a manly husband will definitely make contributions in the world, how can he be afraid of his hands and feet." It's just that I don't know what the virtuous nephew said about the solution to the problem of funding and manpower, although what the virtuous nephew said is reasonable, the old man really can't take risks for no reason. ”

Li Shandao: "Uncle, you think this is good, let the little nephew direct the laborers to work for ten days and half a month, and do the preliminary work first, if the uncle feels that the little nephew is doing it properly, it can be completed on time, you will follow the little nephew's plan, if not, you can change the little nephew." As for the funds, if the construction period is not extended, it will not exceed too much, and if the funds are not enough, the little nephew is willing to subsidize 1,000 taels with his own furniture to help the embankment be completed. ”

Lu Jiuyuan learned a lot of information about Li Shan from Lu Boyan, and it is already a well-known thing that Xiange and Li Shan have a great connection, but Li Shan's family background Lu Jiuyuan really doesn't know very well, so Lu Jiuyuan still believed Li Shan's words, because he forgave Li Shan and didn't have the courage to lie to him, and said: "If the virtuous nephew can really do this, my uncle really wants to thank you for the people of Jingzhou." Li Shan said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the little nephew still depends on Uncle Lu's full support in this matter, and Uncle Lu is an official and his parents' heart makes the little nephew admire." Lu Jiuyuan, who had a lot of sycophancy, was also comfortable, and the two discussed, Lu Jiuyuan had already summoned Jingzhou officials to inspect the river embankment tomorrow, as a general mobilization before the start of construction, Li Shan also followed, and then Lu Jiuyuan would try his best to finalize this matter by public opinion.

This matter was finally taken down, and Li Shan was very happy in his heart. If this matter is done, it will be a great achievement for Lu Jiuyuan. Then Li Shan can be regarded as having a formal interest relationship with Lu Jiuyuan, and with Lu Jiuyuan's protection, Li Shan can be regarded as truly safe in Jingzhou. Li Shan went out of the Lu Mansion and hurried to ask the Immortal Pavilion to take a look, now Li Shan seems to be left and right, but it is actually more like walking a tightrope, everything is brought by this Invite Immortal Pavilion, Li Shan is also very clear, so he must also ensure that there is no problem with the Immortal Pavilion, otherwise he will really lose the whole game by accident.
