The first update

"Ha......" Bao Chao just smiled, and Zhang Lexing immediately ran to the right, and the target was obviously Zhang Zhutou. And Bao Chao has already stretched out his hand, and in his hand is the big single knife that ordinary officials usually go out to patrol, and when the knife goes down, Zhang Lexing's left arm is so discounted, and it hangs down weakly.

And when they moved, Zhang Lexing's son also moved, obviously their father and son are still quite experienced in fighting with the government for many years, but this time, Bao Chao brought all the soldiers who had been with him for many years, and the tacit understanding was extraordinary, they were all knocked to the ground without exception, and the people chatting on the side didn't see what was going on, and everything was over.

"How many people have been caught?" Chery nodded and drank the soup slowly.

"Add Zhang Lexing's father and son, a total of fourteen people. It has been handed over to the local authorities for their own examination. Bao Chao replied respectfully.

Originally, it was decided early on that they would only assist the local government in getting people, and as for how to deal with it, it was a local matter, and they didn't care. They are mainly here to control the river.

The local people saw Zhang Lexing's father and son being arrested, and they knew at a glance that they were not from this county. There is no reason to talk about this kind of thing, if you catch someone, you really let Chery or Li Hongzhang try it, and the villagers have to rebel, thinking that this is a trick of the imperial court.

So all this was arranged with the county and borrowing people from outside, but the county always wanted to catch this wicked person who had been rampant in the township and return the place to peace. In this way, it is easier for the villagers to accept it.

"Lord Li, your fish." As he was talking, Li Hongzhang's fish arrived, and the Hunan method was steamed, but tempeh and chopped pepper were put on it, and it seemed that everyone took a breath of cool air.

"I don't have to eat what I made for him." Chery was about to throw chopsticks, knowing that he couldn't eat them.

"Well, you can't eat it." Gui Xi nodded, the chef was originally from Hunan, so it was easy for him to go back casually, so he put spicy peppers vigorously.

Li Hongzhang is also going to cry, Anhui people also eat chili peppers, and the taste is also heavy. But Li Hongzhang's father is the official to the history of the squire, he also grew up in the capital since he was a child, and the family has long slowly changed his taste, he loves to eat fish, but that is also to eat the steamed and tender small fish, speaking of which, he is also a famous scholar of learning, not to say that a certain gentleman suddenly wanted to eat the sea bass in his hometown, so he resigned and went home, and then sure enough, there was a rebellion in the country, and everyone said that he was prescient.

Li Hongzhang didn't know if he started to love fish after listening to this story, or if he liked fish more after listening to this story. But the fish he likes is really not like this, staring at this fish, entangled for a long time, "Why does your chef put so many chili peppers?" ”

"My chef is from Hunan, but he learned the art in Guangzhou." Gui Xi smiled, and then said to him sincerely, "Master Li, this is the chef's private dish, and our uncle has never eaten it." ”

Chery laughed, and now he knew that Gui Xi was really not easy to mess with. I made you fish, but you didn't say what you want to eat, so you can't blame me for that.

Bao Chao is a native of Hunan, his eyes lit up, and he forked half of the chopsticks, Li Hongzhang really didn't stop him, frowned, thought about it, and carefully pinched a small piece of fine meat on the fish belly, very small, put it on the tongue, and nodded, "It tastes good, it's just a little spicy." Guixi, serve me rice. ”

Bao Chao also nodded heavily with Gui Xi, this dish is really good.

Li Hongzhang ate a big bowl of rice, and Bao Chao even used the fish juice to mix rice, and after eating two bowls, Chery hummed when he saw that they were both sweating profusely, and he knew that he really couldn't eat it, but seeing that people ate so fragrantly, it was strange that he could calm down.

Of course, from this day on, it will be difficult for Li Hongzhang to come in and eat. He would rather be alone, drink his own health soup with peace of mind, and live his life peacefully.

In addition to arresting people, the focus of his personal visit to northern Anhui was to do arbitration. As I said before, whether the river that was washed out this time should be made into a permanent tributary is to be demonstrated.

Other foreign experts had come together before, and apparently they had the same views as the previous engineers after discussing them. But the river workers of the river yamen said that it was the other extreme.

To be honest, he was also a little entangled in how to choose. If it was before, of course he could have decided, but Qingyu was very cautious this time, and he didn't dare to make a decision.

People on both sides have a point, the choice is the problem. So he called Li Hongzhang and Hao Junfeng, neither of whom had experience in river governance, but they were also well-read, so they should be able to put forward some constructive suggestions, right?

Li Hongzhang actually favored the opinions of the river workers, and washed away so much fertile land, which in itself was a waste. If it really becomes a tributary, it is to compensate according to the land deed, which is actually quite a heavy burden for the imperial court.

But Hao Junfeng doesn't see it that way, he doesn't really think that the opinions of foreign experts are correct at this time, he thinks that Xianfeng has run foreign schools everywhere over the years, and even invited a foreign engineer to govern the river here, which shows that he believes in foreigners more. He was originally angry that he had not been promoted to the sacrificial wine, but at this time, seeing that Li Hongzhang was inclined to the river worker, he immediately made an impassioned statement that if the river worker's words were credible, then the embankment would not be broken.

After they broke up unhappily that day, Li Hongzhang and Hao Junfeng also tore their faces. At this time, Li Hongzhang was a little helpless when he saw Hao Junfeng like this. Of course he knows Hao Junfeng's thoughts, and he is still in politicsTreat the bet. I actually told him frankly that day, the emperor looked down on him, so he didn't let him take over the position of sacrificial wine, why could he still be so full of fighting spirit? Sure enough, he is really inferior to him in his diligent pursuit of official positions.

"My lord, isn't it too early to talk about this at this time, it's better to ......" Li Hongzhang sighed, but he still had to say what he had to say.

Look at the rain that is still falling outside, if it is as before, it is more like a flood diversion. If the flood has been discharged, then the water potential of the main river should be weakened. But at this time, it is obvious that the flood situation is still severe, in fact, it is too early to talk about how to do this branch at this time.

"You are wrong, it is too late, if we decide, we must take advantage of the situation and use the water power to complete the establishment of the new river as soon as possible." Although Chery said that he did not understand water conservancy, he knew the word 'timing'.

"Master Qi is right, and Xia Guan also means this." Hao Junfeng said immediately, and glanced at Li Hongzhang proudly.

"I am saying that if we decide not to set up branches, we must widen the estuary at this time and do a good job of diversion in the downstream." Chery wanted to give Hao Junfeng a roll of his eyes, but he didn't decide, what was he excited about?
