Because of the large number of people on both sides of the strait, it was impossible to gather all the land protection for a while, so the time was set for the afternoon of the next day.

It rained the next day, and it was rainy in spring.

Zhao Wuwu hates rain the most, the wind and cold earlier are not complete, and the bones of this body are still weak. When the wind and rain blew, the whole person trembled. But outsiders see that she is a dignified man, and they can't let her go out with a soup woman like that! It's hurtful, and it doesn't conform to her identity as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, so she can only wear more clothes and endure it.

The temporary shed outside the city, although it was built temporarily, but because Zhao Wuwu wanted to use it, it had been reinforced and sealed earlier, and it was extremely regular. There was a fire burning inside, and Zhao Wuwu stiffened and went in, raising his eyes to look at the noisy crowd in his eyes.

The waiter of the Ministry of Works roared, and the shed immediately fell silent.

Zhao Wuwu slowly walked to the front, how did the little people know who Zhao Wuwu was, and when they saw such a battle, they immediately knelt down and shouted, "See my lord!" "As for what kind of adult, the devil knows!

"Sit down!" Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly twice and sat down side by side with Jian Weizhong.

Here, it is the two of them who have the highest official positions.

Jin Yi accompanied him, standing behind Zhao Wuwu in case of accidents.

"You are all land protectors on the edge of Yingqu, although they are not official positions, but they are all the people of Daye, and you should do your part for Daye." Zhao Wuwu said in an official face.

She is not a fool, of course she will not say: I am Zhao Wuwu. Zhao Wuwu's reputation is too stinky, after all, he has a father who is the prime minister, and this prime minister is still an unpopular prime minister who is known as a traitor.

Jian Weizhong and Zhao Wuwu sang and harmonized, and there was still a tacit understanding in the officialdom, "There is a lot of rain in the spring of this year, and Qin Tianjian is afraid that the Linjiang River will skyrocket, and the flood will be difficult to stop and harm the people inside and outside the city." The emperor loves the people like a son, and now he has ordered the dredging of the canal. For the people in the Yingqu area, protect a home. My Emperor Shengming! ”

As soon as the people heard that it was the emperor's decree to seek their well-being, they immediately threw themselves on their knees and shouted "Long live the emperor"!

Seeing this, Jian Weizhong and Zhao Wuwu exchanged glances.

Zhao Wuwu got up and said, "The emperor is Shengming, as a son of Daye, you should do your best for the emperor." No one knows the situation of Yingqu better than you who live on both sides of Yingqu. You live on the water's edge, and there is no shortage of people in the village who are familiar with the water! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything.

No one knows what Zhao Wuwu means? Could it be that he is here to pull the strong ding?

The people on both sides of the Yingqu Canal have no food all year round, and they rely on half an acre of land to make a living, and their lives are extremely bumpy. If you come to pull the strong Ding again, you basically want to drive them out.

Zhao Wuwu smiled, "Don't worry, this official has no malicious intentions, but this official feels that since the imperial court has allocated silver taels, it should be taken from the people for the people." The official knows that you are having a hard time, so the official has decided to entrust you with the matter of dredging the canal. You contribute, the court contributes, we both cooperate, what do you think? ”

Cooperate?

As soon as they heard that the imperial court was paying for it, these people were a little impatient.

The common people were already poor, and they couldn't afford to stand up under the weight of heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but now they can earn some money to support their families with their own water nature, which is a good idea.

Zhao Wuwu continued to guide everyone, "If the court pays money, it will definitely not treat everyone badly, and it will not owe a penny." In the name of the Ministry of Industry, this official hereby guarantees that the silver taels must be in place, and I hope that everyone can run to tell each other, so that the man with good water nature can serve the country. The dredging of this canal is also a move to benefit thousands of families. When the tide rises, everyone will not be flooded. What do you think? ”

The silver two guarantees that there will be no deficit and no arrears, and that homes will not be flooded when the tide rises. No matter how you say it, it is all in favor of the people, and the court has also paid for it.

When you think about it, there seems to be nothing to argue.

Zhao Wuwu said with a smile, "Everyone's salary will be doubled according to the market, and it will be cleared every day, and there will be no arrears." If you break your promise, you can go to the yamen to sue, and the official will repay ten times the less. Now, that's all for now! What do you think? ”

Jian Weizhong was stunned, this Zhao Wuwu is really a business. The court pays for it, and the rest becomes a matter for the common people.
