"Lord Lu, you can't say that, do you think that the entire Tianci Mansion needs to control the river in your small Qingyu County?", Qian Hedu snorted coldly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lu Ming retorted: "Even if there are other places that need to be treated in the river, but looking at the Tianci Mansion, this place in Qingyu County is the most important, and the flood diversion project should be completed ahead of schedule!"

"Presumptuous!"

Qian Hedu said: "I am the governor of the river, and you are just a small county order, how Lao Tzu governs the river, you don't need to point fingers, Lao Tzu just tells you, either take the money or get out!"

"You...... Qian Hedu, you are corrupt and perverting the law!", Lu Ming said.

Qian Hedu sneered: "Lord Lu, you have to pay attention to your identity, now you are begging me." ”

"You ......", Lu Ming's eyes widened.

What is the sinister officialdom? Rao is Lu Ming is mentally prepared, but at this moment, he is helpless to take Qian Hedu.

"But...... Lord Lu, I have a deal I want to tell you here. ”

"What deal?"

Qian Hedu smiled: "Two months later is the date of the rainy season, so let's do it, as long as you and I cooperate with each other, on the surface to complete the river project, but in fact it is just a show, when the rainy season comes, the flood floods the fields, the imperial court will definitely issue a disaster relief fund, and the time will ......."

"Phew, shameless villain, what I hate most is the fish and flesh people, who are corrupt and pervert the law, how can I be in the same stream with you!", Lu Ming shouted.

"Lord Lu, don't be angry, this is a big deal, as long as we make a lot of money from it, it will be a matter of eating and drinking spicy food, food and clothing without worry. Qian Hedu said with a smile.

"No way!", Lu Ming said.

"Okay, you just watch the fertile land in Qingyu County being flooded, and when the people complain, the people are not happy, and the court will definitely send someone to behead your incompetent county order!"

"What did you say?", Lu Ming gritted his teeth in anger.

"But if you cooperate with me, then the situation will be different, as long as our officials protect each other, Yan Shoufu will definitely come forward to protect you, and when the time comes, ......"

"I said it, it is impossible!", Lu Ming said firmly.

"Lord Lu, since you have to be obsessed, then I can't do anything, if you have that ability, just call on the people of Qingyu County to complete the project, but they are all poor people, but they are not as professional as us, and the terrain there is not good, I'm afraid ...... There will also be dangers. Qian Hedu said with a smile.

Lu Ming's face was extremely ugly, it was precisely because the terrain was not good, accidents were prone to occur, and the people of Qingyu County did not understand this fortification, so he came to ask for this Qianhe Governor.

The young people of Qingyu County are all working in other places, and only some old and weak women and children are left to cultivate the fields, and the manpower is limited.

"Well, as long as Qian Hedu can help me complete the fortifications before the rainy season comes, all the expenses will be counted on this official!"

"Is this true?", Qian Hedu's eyes lit up.

"A gentleman's word, it's hard to chase a horse!", Lu Ming said.

"Okay, then let's high-five and swear!"

After speaking, the two high-fived three times to confirm the cooperative relationship.

On the same day, Qian Hedu immediately sent more than 200 people to Qingyu County to start the project.

A month later, Qingyu County accounted for the office.

Xu Xiancheng took the account book and said to Lu Ming: "My lord, according to my calculations, we have used up all our savings, I'm afraid we won't last half a month." ”

"Impossible! I still have 10 million taels of silver in the manuscript fee for "Liweng Rhyme", it's only been a month, how can it have all been spent?", Lu Ming said in disbelief.

"My lord, you do have a lot of manuscript fees left, but it will be a month before the Shaoming Mansion Literary Academy can send someone to deliver this batch of silver taels. ”

"Nonsense! I have a very good relationship with Tao Zhifu, how could he delay the deadline!"

"But your manuscript fee is indeed not a small amount, and the Literary Academy must also go through repeated verification before it can send the silver down, which is the rule of the imperial court. Xu Xiancheng said.

"Hey!"

Lu Ming was so angry that he paced back and forth, and his face was extremely pale.

"Lord Lu, the lower officials have a guess, could it be that Yan Shoufu got in the way and put pressure on Shaoming Mansion to delay this silver for a month?"

"Your guess is highly likely, but what should we do now? If we don't have the money to give that dead bastard to Qian Hedu, he will definitely strike that day, and we can't give up halfway at this juncture!"

Lu Ming's eyes flashed with firmness, and then he said: "From today on, the expenses of the county government will be controlled at half of the original, and even if the official starves to death, he will not be able to let the people of Qingyu County have no food!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Ming turned around and walked out of the account room and looked up at the sky.

"It's hard to be an official, and it's even harder to be a good official!"

In the past month, Lu Ming has lost a lot of weight, has a lot of worries, and has a vicissitudes of temperament.

"Someone, follow the official to the construction site inspector!"

Lu Ming took Zhao Zhutou and twenty officials to the construction site.

After a month of rushing work, the river project has been completed by seven-tenths, and there is still some distance from the river.

As long as the last three-tenths are completed, when the rainy season comes, the water level will rise, and the river water will be able to be channeled into the river and the fertile land of the entire Qingyu County will be saved.

The houses in Qingyu County are all built on high ground, so there is no need to worry about being flooded, the only thing to worry about is the fertile fields at the bottom, which can not withstand the heavy rain.

At this time, it was already afternoon, Lu Ming was standing on the shore, and when he saw that the workers were still resting, his face suddenly turned angry, and he walked over and shouted: "The rainy season is coming soon, how can you be so relaxed? Why don't you start work quickly!"

"Yo, isn't this Lord Lu? What kind of wind is blowing you?"

The foreman stretched his waist, glanced at Lu Ming contemptuously, and smiled: "Come on, come on, our brothers are drinking, come and punch us together!"

Zhao Zhutou immediately shouted: "Presumptuous! The county order of Qingyu County is here, and you are still drinking and lazy, what kind of system has it become!"

"Zhao Zhutou, what do you mean by this!"

The foreman sneered and said: "We have worked hard here all day and night, and we have not allowed people to rest! Don't think that we are easy to bully if we are workers, you look at this place, the terrain is severe, the construction is difficult, and if you are not careful, you will cause death...... We're quitting!"

"Yes, we don't do it! We work so hard, you still have to pick and choose, how can you be officials?"

"What is breaking the county order, and it doesn't talk about human feelings! Brothers, let's go, let's quit!"

"No more, no more!"

Many workers yelled, but most of them were smiling, and their eyes were very sadistic when they looked at Lu Ming.

"You ......"

Zhao Zhutou was about to go crazy, obviously the weather was good for work, but they used the excuse to rest, this is not clear about embarrassment county order!

"Quiet!"

Lu Ming said loudly: "Don't think that this official doesn't know, I have already sent someone to supervise you in secret, you are lax in discipline, and you don't take this project seriously at all!"

"Every time the official comes to check, you pretend to be sweating profusely, but as soon as the official leaves, you sit down and chat and rest, do what you want, and sleep if you don't want to do it, if it weren't for the sake of the governor of Qianhe, the official would have punished you as a foreman a long time ago!"

"Lord Lu, what do you mean, do you have proof, don't talk nonsense!", the foreman said angrily.

"That is, you don't wronged good people!"

"I wronged a good person?"

Lu Ming snorted coldly, pointed at the foreman and shouted, "Look at how much dirt there is on your clothes? Look at your shoes, how much dirt is on the soles of your shoes?"

"And you workers, wearing expensive short shirts, look clean, are you reluctant to get dirty?"

"Lord Lu, we ......"

"Shut up!"

Lu Ming said: "Give me a job, if anyone dares to be lazy, the official will punish him!"

"Lord Lu, we are the people of Qian Hedu, you have no right to control us!"

"Yes, you have no right to control us!"

Lu Ming's eyes flashed with murderous aura, and he ordered: "Come on! Take down the foreman!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Zhutou clenched his fist, and immediately rushed forward with an arrow step, and used an extremely fluent grappling hand to capture it.

"Lord Lu, what are you going to do!", the foreman yelled.

"Put the foreman out, or we'll be gone!", the workers shouted.

Lu Ming took out his long sword, walked to the foreman, and said coldly: "This official has endured you for a long time, you just want to kill yourself, do you really think that you are a green onion?

"You talk nonsense!"

The foreman was shocked, his eyes showed horror, he was afraid, he was afraid that Lu Ming was really here this time.

"This official will kill the chicken and show it to the monkey today, and send you to report to the king of Hades first, as for the affairs of the world, you don't have to worry about it, I will notify your wife and children, and let them collect the corpse for you." After Lu Ming finished speaking, he raised his long sword high.

"No!

The foreman was so frightened that he tried to struggle out, but he was held down by the officer, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not move a bit.

"Die!"

"Let's get to work right away!"

After the foreman finished shouting, the sword rested on top of his head, and the foreman was covered with sweat and was quite frightened.

Lu Ming put away the long sword and waved his hand helplessly, and Zhao Zhutou let him go.

"Foreman, this official warns you once, if you dare to relax again, even if this official doesn't want this black gauze hat, he will kill you as soon as possible, if you don't believe it, you can give it a try, I promise to make you regret coming to this world, do you hear clearly?"

"Yes, the villain knows, please rest assured. ”

The worker wiped his sweat, his face was full of fear, and he turned to the workers and said, "Brothers, since Lord Lu has spoken, then we don't have to rest, start work, start work for me immediately!" )
