Chapter 50 Something Must Be Done
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
A slogan of later generations, Mao Geng's ears are calloused, this slogan is "If you want to get rich, build roads first." I didn't expect to come to the Great Song Dynasty, and the first proposal to Xu County was about building roads, but it was not 6 roads, it was waterways.
Since ancient times, traffic problems have been a top priority. Although Xu Xianling does not believe that he has to transport millions of catties of goods in a day, if Zishui can be transported smoothly, it is really a good thing for the benefit of one party. The reason why Meishanman was able to become Meishanman was because of the sinister water, Meishanman only needed to plug the dangerous shoals in the upstream and downstream, and the rest was a continuous mountainous area, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was difficult for the officials and soldiers to supply it. As long as the water transportation is smooth, Meishanman will not become Meishanman, and Xinhua can also take off the hat of poor mountains and bad water.
It is precisely because there are too many rapids and dangerous waters, and the boats are very dangerous, resulting in the death of many boats, and there are countless things that have destroyed and killed people.
The woolen boat is to reduce the loss of the sunken ship, but not to solve the safety problem of the water boat, Xu County Ling also understands that the disposable woolen ship transported downstream can not solve the problem of sailing against the current, and there is no prosperity in the world that can only go in and out. If Mao Geng's approach can greatly improve the problem of water boating, it will definitely benefit the virtue of the century, which is much more meaningful than the Su Causeway in West Lake.
Whether it is from the promotion or from the point of view of leaving a name in the history of meritorious service, Xu Xianling feels that it is worth a fight. Xu Xianling had an irrepressible excitement, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing he felt, no wonder the robbers in Qujiatong wanted to recruit Mao Geng as his son-in-law. Well, Mao Geng is actually his lucky star, Xu Xianling couldn't help but be grateful in his heart, if it weren't for Guo Zhushu's last time to treat Mao Geng's crimes, he gave himself a chance to show favor to Mao Geng, otherwise he might have to follow the example of that Qu Jiatong and do vulgar things like recruiting sons-in-law. Xu Xianling thought about it so dialectically, and finally felt that he had a unique vision and deserved to go to another level in the officialdom.
Since Xu Xianling recognized that this matter was a good deed that could go down in history, he immediately decided to make way for the transformation of water shipping.
Xu Xianling personally took command, and the land near the river was naturally easy to do. Xu Xianling was not worried about others, so he instructed Mr. Luo to implement the location of the model project, and Mr. Luo was not ambiguous, and immediately set a dangerous beach near the county seat, and directly asked the official to find the owner of the land to buy the land, and Mao Geng could start building the model project here three days later.
Xu Xianling is not a show this time, he is really going to do a practical thing for Xinhua, but in this way, Mao Geng's pressure suddenly increased.
Mao Geng's proposal for this plan is not impulsive, but according to the current conditions, there is no shortage of money, but Mao Geng does not have a team to rely on, but there are a lot of things to do, which is really complicated.
Mao Geng was taken by Mr. Luo to see the dangerous beach, there is a forest on the edge of the dangerous beach, it doesn't cost much money to buy the land that Mao Geng fancies, Mao Geng looked at the terrain and the available water power, and had a basic design idea in his heart, so he said goodbye to Mr. Luo, and then rushed all the way back to Baixi.
This time Mao Geng took Xu County's nephew all the way, the news of Mao Geng's acceptance of disciples Xu County's order had already heard of it, and it happened that Xu County's nephew Wu Yixin didn't like to study, and the imperial examination seemed hopeless, Xu County's order felt that it was better to let Wu Yixin learn art with Mao Geng, presumably Mao Geng would also sell his face.
Mao Geng is also happy to accept Wu Yixin, there is always some interest between himself and Xu Xianling, since he disdains bribery, it is a good choice to cooperate in business a little, Mao Geng has not been pedantic to the point of being unkind. Mao Geng envisioned to let this Wu Yixin engage in pencil business, in this era, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty was in business, Mao Geng had no intention of intersecting with Xu Xianling in bulk business, but pencil business is not a bulk business, pencil business is not difficult to operate, if it is well run, the profit is considerable, let this guy who claims to be Wu Ya do this simple business, it should not be in the way.
Mao Geng returned to Baixi in the evening, Xiang Yixuan had been waiting for a long time, and Xiang Yixuan came here to inform Mao Geng that Qu Jiatong accepted Mao Geng's conditions in full, and Mao Geng said that we have to be busy again. The two sides agreed to sign a contract three days later, of course, the signing is Mao Geng's meaning, Qu Jiatong has no objection, Mao Geng thinks about three days later, he will perform the net multiple projects of Qu Jiatong this enterprise, four places, respectively, are their own Baixi River base and oil stream base, as well as the brick-making workshop on the bank of the Zishui River in Qujiatong, as well as the dangerous shoal of the government's construction of the Zishui model project, which can really be called "three waters, two banks, and four places".

Su Zhiyi was unhappy with Mao Geng's marriage to Ling'er, but this was Mao Geng's marriage under forced circumstances, and it was not good to blame Mao Geng, I thought that Mao Geng would go to see Su Zhiyan immediately after returning to Baixi, although Su Zhiyan was jealous, in fact, he was looking forward to it, but after Mao Geng came back, he seemed to have forgotten Su Zhiyan, which made Su Zhiyan secretly angry.
Su Zhiyi still has a glimmer of hope for Mao Geng to marry Su Zhiyan, Su Zhiyi didn't go to join in the fun that day to suppress Mao Geng's shock, he just wanted to talk to Mao Geng alone.
When Mao Geng saw Su Zhiyi, he felt that Su Zhiyi's face was not good, Mao Geng sighed in his heart, it seemed that he and Su Zhiyan were inseparable.
θθ΄δΉ says:
"I heard that Brother Yi Sheng is going to do a big thing and wants to transform the water shipping, and I heard that Brother Yi Sheng received the mission of Qu Jiatong's full management, and he is a few years older in the idiot, so I reminded my brother that he can't chew too much, and his brother doesn't have three heads and six arms, so he still does what he can."
Mao Geng wanted to build the first set of water wheel winches for water boats, so he transferred Tan Chengzhu and Tan Xiaochun father and son over, but the Su family was already rushing to make hydraulic machinery day and night in order to improve cement production capacity, and the Tan family and his son were the absolute main force, and the progress of these two fathers and sons was greatly affected. Mao Geng transferred Tan's father and son, Su Zhidao didn't dare to have any objections, so he had to report to Su Zhiyi, and Su Zhiyi naturally came to Mao Geng.
Su Zhiyi is reasonable, the cement production capacity of the Su family must be improved as much as possible, and now there is money that cannot buy cement, and the production capacity means that the financial resources are rolling in, so the eagerness of the Su family goes without saying. It is said that Mao Geng also has half of the interests in the cement, but at this juncture, he transferred key manpower to do something that the government was anxious to do, which is obviously nosy!
Mao Geng hadn't figured out how to explain this matter to Su Zhiyi, but when he saw his mother-in-law walking in, Mao Gengxin said, okay, I also invited strong reinforcements to be a lobbyist.
When Granny Fu saw Mao Geng, she was counted:
"I said Mao Geng, it's been so many days since you came back, why didn't you go to see Su Zhiyan's female baby for a long time! What is the point of marrying a bell and coming back! The bell that Qu Jiatong forced you to marry is at most a concubine, and the old woman can't even be considered a concubine, it's a maid. You go to see Su Zhiyan and talk to others about good words, Su Zhiyan, this girl is also a beautiful girl, do you want people to come to see you! I heard that you went to help the county order toss some water shipping, you don't know, Zishui is something that no one can help, you are young, you don't know the severity, listen to the old man's words, but don't do this kind of thankless work. β
Helping her mother-in-law saw that Mao Geng didn't think so, so she said bitterly:
"You are young, young and vigorous, which is a good thing and a bad thing, alas! Su Zhiyan's female baby is also a little arrogant. I said Mao Geng, you have too many things, are you afraid of seeing Su Zhiyan, and you deliberately want to do so many things? β
Hehe! Granny Fu actually thought that Mao Geng had a psychological problem, and she was afraid of seeing Su Zhiyan, so she worked hard to numb herself.
Mao Gengxin said, where is this! But if you think about it, it seems that there is indeed a little bit of a desire to numb yourself with work, but that is not the mainstream.
Mao Geng said calmly:
"Mother-in-law, and Brother Su, Xiao Ke understands that what you said is good for me, Xiao Ke doesn't have three heads and six arms, and it is really a bit of a mistake to do so many things at once. However, the big husband has something to do, and he must do something, and he will do it to improve the water boating, but the small one is determined to do it. Others can be put aside, but this matter is urgent. For every day of delay, one more boat might sink and more people die. It doesn't matter if Xiao Ke makes more money or less, but this is a good deed that accumulates yin virtue, helping his mother-in-law, Xiao Ke wants to do a good deed, is it wrong! β
As soon as Mao Geng said this, Mother-in-law Fu and Su Zhiyi glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that Mao Geng seemed to be a different person. The two also knew that Dun Erbao lost a woolen boat and a boat of charcoal last month, fortunately, everyone was fine, but this is Dun Erbao's good luck, not every time the luck will be so good, there are countless cases of ship sinking and death in the water, but it is not the turn of Dun Erbao for the time being. If Mao Geng can make the water boat safer, of course, it is a great kindness.
Granny Fu sighed and said:
"If you have this heart, what else can the old woman say! Alas! I can only say that Mao Geng, whom my family admires, is a responsible man. Since you have such good thoughts, the old woman has no choice but to tell Su Zhiyan that it will not be wrong to marry such a loving and righteous Langjun. β
Mao Gengxin said, this is nothing, in fact, he just thinks that Zishui is risking his life, and he just wants to do a humanitarian thing, and every caring person will not watch a living life being swallowed up by Zishui. And now it is not easy to meet the pioneering Xu County Order, dare to think and dare to do, just hurry up and get started. If it is delayed, once the county order is promoted to another place, if the other county orders are only known to be successful, maybe this matter will not be done.
When Su Zhiyi heard this, he also felt something, and was about to make a positive statement, when he saw Wen Yuan hurriedly walk in, and said as soon as he came:
"Brother Geng, there were accidents on both sides of the Baixi River and the Youxi River, there was an accident on this side of the Baixi River, and two people were burned, and the reformed people on the other side of the Youxi River fought and injured two. Brother Geng, I can't deal with it alone, and you have to go out too. β
Mao Gengxin said, what's going on! It's getting busier and messier. But with so many things and so many clues, it's no wonder that it's not messy.
