Chapter 29: The Surabaya Bank

The most important place for water conservancy in Surabaya County is at the intersection of Huaishui and Bianshui, which is the necessary place for the two Huaicao grains to enter Beijing, and has been regarded as the top priority by successive county commanders.

Mu Hai was surrounded by the county Cheng Wu Yuan and the main Bo Xiangzhi, and inspected the Huaibian Huikou. The people of Surabaya County did not pay much attention to the new county magistrate, and the county magistrate went out of the city to inspect the river defense for the first time, but no one watched.

When other people's new officials take office, everyone is stammering, and the people can't wait to get through, but Mu Hai didn't even have a person to come over to take a look, which made Mu Hai feel embarrassed.

Wood Yuan observed the words and said, "I asked the officials to order the people not to disturb the adults, if the adults have the intention of being close to the people, I can ......"

"No need, don't disturb the people's work, I'll just look around." Mu Hai's heart was bright, the people felt that it didn't matter who the county official was, anyway, it was Zhang Mo who was in charge of Surabaya County, so he was indifferent to the county order.

Wood was relieved to see that Mu Hai was interested. He was really afraid that Mu Hai would not understand the meaning of his words, and he would forcibly show his pro-people behavior. Then, then you can only let the officials escort the people around, and the scene will be a little unsightly.

Since there are no onlookers, there is no need to take into account the official prestige and appearance. Muhai asked Xiang'er to get off the carriage and feel the scenery of Surabaya.

Xiang'er, dressed in a pink dress, stands on the embankment of Surabaya, like bright flowers blooming on green leaves, delicate and gorgeous.

When the lord Bo Xiangzhi and the officials saw Mu Hai holding Liu Xiang'er's hand, they all scattered far away, only Wu Yuan was still close behind Mu Hai. Ping'er glanced at Wood Yuan, frowned slightly, and said secretly: Why is this person so uninteresting?

Mu Hai looked at the rushing Surabaya, pointed and smiled: "The river is surging, winding like a dragon, such a spectacular scene can only be experienced by being in person, no matter how the words are written, they are pale and powerless." Do you like the scenery of Surabaya, Xiang'er - oh, I'm stupid, you should have asked me this landlord ......"

Wood's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Liu Xiang'er smiled and said: "Although Xiang'er is not a man, she is also heartbroken when she sees this heroic and magnificent scene. However, Xiang'er was happy and also remembered a poem by the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Oh, listen up." Mu Hai smiled and pinched Xiang'er's soft and tender twing.

Well, the poem says this: Bianshui is the most beneficial, and the harm of the living is also compatible. Forty-three states in the southeast, it is this river that takes all the fat. Liu Xiang'er groaned.

Mu Hai thought for a while, frowned, and said, "Whose poem is this?" Haven't you seen or heard of it - Ping'er, Wu Xiancheng, have you heard of it? ”

Ping'er shook her head and smiled: "I'm a maid, although I know a few words, but my knowledge is very shallow, where will I know." ”

"The lower officials are only shallow in their studies, and they have never heard of this poem." Wood bowed and replied.

Mu Hai thought about it seriously, and had no impression of this poem, looked at Liu Xiang'er suspiciously, and said, "Hey, you girl won't write a poem to lie to me by herself, right?" ”

Xiang'er glanced at Mu Hai, with a narrow smile on her pretty face: "Tang poems have been handed down to more than 50,000 people, although the son has read a lot, but he can't know everything." What's more, I'm afraid that most of the child's thoughts are on what Qi Wang Gaowei is, I don't know if Li Jingfang is really not unusual...... "Xiang'er specially accentuated his tone on the word "read more", in response to what Mu Hai said in the morning that Xiang'er wanted Xiang'er to read more.

Mu Hai didn't care about Xiang'er's naughty teasing, and shook his head seriously: "Li Jingfang, Li Jingfang, I really didn't notice this person-well, it seems that my family's "All Tang Poems" is defective, and I have to replace it with a new one when I go back." ”

After thinking about it carefully, Mu Hai felt that this should be the reason.

Wood Yuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this--Lord Zhixian is really looking for this reason!

Xiang'er was stunned for a moment, lying on Mu Hai's shoulder, the laughing flowers and branches trembled, and she couldn't say a word, but her pink fist kept beating Mu Hai's back.

There is a cheap not to take advantage of is a turtle!

Since Xiang'er was so enthusiastic, Mu Hai was also unceremoniously, and quickly took Liu Xiang'er in his arms, smelled her hair, and glanced at the maid Ping'er - even the little maid was covering her mouth and snickering.

She didn't believe it!

Mu Hai shouted in his heart: Lao Tzu is telling the truth this time, and Mr. Teaching's "All Tang Poems" is really flawed. Alas, none of you believe the truth.

Seeing that Xiang'er was laughing endlessly, Mu Hai's eyes rolled, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he quickly stretched out his tongue and bit her crystal pink earlobe.

The sensitive place was touched, Liu Xiang'er immediately felt numb all over her body, she couldn't care about laughing anymore, she let out a low cry, and jumped away from Mu Hai's arms with a red face.

Seeing this scene, the muscles at the corners of Wood's mouth twitched, and he said secretly: This county magistrate is really lawless and does whatever he wants.

"Okay, the laughter is over, what does Wu Xiancheng think of Li Jingfang's poem." Mu Hai coughed lightly and diverted the topic.

Hearing this, Wu Yuan hurriedly gathered his thoughts, bowed down and said: "Emperor Tang is mediocre, and he uses water to absorb the people's fat and people's ointment. I am the Son of Heaven Shengming, and I use Bianshui as a water to transfer the world's taxes. It can be seen that the pros and cons of a thing all depend on the person who uses it and the strategy of use. ”

Mu Hai smiled slightly, Wood was immersed in officialdom, and the sleek and flattering words in his words were essential, but aside from these, his words were still very pertinent.

Mu Haidao: "What Wu Xiancheng said is extremely true. Emperor Tang was mediocre, even if there was no benefit of water, he would use other methods to loot the people's fat and ointment. However, the benefits of Bianhe itself far outweigh the disadvantages for the country and the people, whether it is the Tang Empire or the current dynasty. ”

Wu Yuan nodded and said, "My lord is wise, and the lower officials can't reach it." ”

Mu Hai ignored Wu Yuan's sycophants, and smiled at Xiang'er: "We're done talking, what do you mean as the questioner?" ”

"Emperor Tang may not be mediocre, this dynasty is ......" Xiang'er remembered the tragic death of his father, where would he agree with Wood's words that he belittled Emperor Tang and respected the current dynasty.

Mu Hai's heart jumped when he heard this, and secretly said that Lao Tzu really shouldn't ask this sentence, and hurriedly interjected and interrupted: "Haha, Xiang'er said it well, it was good - in fact, then again, if there is no such luck, the Central Plains Dynasty can only even keep half of the country." ”

Liu Xiang'er's words were interrupted, and she glanced at the complaining white son.

"Huh?" Ping'er was surprised when she heard this, and her beautiful face was full of puzzlement, "Is it really so mysterious?" ”

"Haha, it's really so mysterious. The population of the imperial capital of our dynasty is more than one million, and the garrisons on both sides of the Yellow River are also millions. The people regard food as the sky, but in fact, the officials are not high. If the food is not enough, the imperial capital will definitely move south, hehe, if a million forbidden troops go south with the imperial capital, it will only be a matter of time before the north falls into the hands of Hu Lu. ”

Ping'er shook her head and said, "My lord said that food cannot be supplied by land transportation because there are both millions of Dingkou and millions of garrisons. If the imperial capital moves south, but the army remains, then the northland may not fall. ”

"What Ping'er said is reasonable, if it can really be like what you said, it is estimated that there will be no more fights in the world." Mu Hai had a teasing smile on his face.

"Miss." Ping'er knew that Mu Hai was laughing at her, but she didn't know why, so she looked at Liu Xiang'er for help.

Liu Xiang'er raised her hand and grabbed the green silk that was blown by the wind between her temples, and said with a smile: "Ping'er, you take it for granted, if you think about the millions of forbidden troops that are not in the hands of the emperor, then why should the emperor sit on the throne." ”

"Oh, I forgot." Ping'er was clicked through this section, and she also felt that she was whimsical, and couldn't help laughing.

Wood smiled and nodded yes.

"My lord, my lord......" The officials who were standing guard scattered around suddenly came with a man in green clothes walking quickly.
