Hearing this, the old god was sitting there on the ground, waiting to observe the situation, and suddenly his heart sank, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Huiji County has a total of 26 counties under its jurisdiction, with names and surnames, and there are more than 70 local clans on the stage, and the rest are barely eye-catching, and they are also considered large families in the local area, and there are dozens of families.

Although these people live in the county, their assets are scattered among the counties within the county.

If this matter is carried out by the emperor's eldest grandson, there are really only twenty-six families selected-

Doesn't it mean that whoever masters this matter has the right to speak locally!

It is one thing to be willing to cooperate with the court to do things, and it is another thing to be willing to sit on a master on your head, especially this master, who is not a dragon like Li You, but a tiger sitting on the ground.

You can't calm down.

Everyone is a smart person, and they don't doubt that the support of the imperial court behind this matter only needs to look at the emperor's eldest grandson along the way, almost everything, to know that he is not a person who likes to speak loudly.

Just when everyone was thinking about weighing in their hearts and thinking about how to get more benefits from the imperial court, they saw that Yu Rang, the head of the Yu family, couldn't wait to stand up.

His eyes swept over the five big and three thick dragon lily without a trace.

His own Yu family is the in-law of His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, this time, he can't let Long Li's dog thief take the lead. As a result, I really saw the fleeting regret in Long Li's eyes, and I was suddenly in a good mood, straightened my waist, and said in a generous voice.

"Your Highness, building water conservancy and dredging ditches is a good deed for the benefit of the people, and if this can be done, from now on, the people of Huiji, and future generations will benefit from it, which is a great good thing. Although our Yu family is not a wealthy family, it has always been a good township, and there are thousands of people in the clan, this time, our Yu family is willing to do our best to achieve this matter-"

Zhao Ying looked at Yu Rang, who was the first to jump out, and nodded approvingly.

"Good! The Yu family really deserves to be a family of goodness, and their words and deeds can be called an example in the township! You might as well tell me, which part of the plan do you want the Yu family to be responsible for? ”

Yu Rang arched his hand at Zhao Ying.

"My Yujia has a lot of land in Yuhang, if I can get the permission to build a ditch in Yuhang County, I will definitely be able to get ......twice the result with half the effort."

Zhao Ying nodded. Then, someone took a pen and paper on the spot, and gently circled a stroke on a ditch plan hanging behind him, and this turned around, looked at the head of the Yu family, and said loudly.

"In that case, do as you say!"

As he spoke, he looked around at the crowd.

"I Daqin, advocating the rule of law, however, more advocating the way of action, must first have virtue, and then the law is passed in the township, the law is passed in the township, then the township has good deeds, and the family has the heart to do their best for the township, how can His Royal Highness not be rewarded?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and personally handed over the appointment document signed by himself and the seal of the governor of Jiangnan to Yu Rang.

"From today on, you are the general manager of the construction of the ditch in Yuhang County, all within the scope of the ditch planning, you have the right to dispatch and command, where the ditch passes, where there is obstruction and non-cooperation, to obstruct the decree, the crime of harming the township will be punished, in addition, you can choose a son, enter my recruit camp, and follow the left and right ,......."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes couldn't help but show a look of envy.

The son-in-law entered the barracks and served left and right, that is, the close ministers of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, who knows, if one day, he can enter the eyes of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, which is equivalent to opening a channel for the Yu family to advance.

This is an opportunity that many Chu nobles dream of.

It fell into the hands of the Yu family in this way.

Everyone was still envious and regretted that he was not the first to stand up, but the head of the Zhong family was different, and his face became extremely ugly.

His gaze suddenly moved to Qiantang County next to Yuhang, as long as he could win the right to build ditches in Qiantang County, the Zhong family would not be too passive, however, before he could get up, he saw that Long Li on the opposite side had already stood up first and saluted Zhao Yingshen.

"Your Royal Highness, be loyal to the imperial court, accumulate good deeds, and benefit the township, the Long family asks themselves, they dare not lag behind, and they are willing to pour the strength of the whole clan to build ditches and open up waterways, and serve the work of dogs and horses for His Royal Highness......."

Although Zhao Ying had expected it in his heart, he couldn't help but look at him more.

This dragon is really not simple, and there is no shortage of vision and knowledge.

In all fairness, if it weren't for Yu Ji's relationship, he would have wanted to directly name the Long family and make him the chief steward of the construction of the active canal.

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

"Good, worthy of being the clansman of the dragon and the general, this responsibility can be called a model in the township, since this is the case, then the lonely can not be unkind, you can tell me, which ditch are you willing to bear......"

Long Li did not hesitate to look at Qiantang County on the side.

"The connections of the Long family are mostly in Qiantang and Yuhang, and they are willing to build a section from Qiantang to Yuhang......"

Zhao Ying nodded very dryly.

"Your Long family can cultivate a first-class talent like Long and General, and you have a good ability......

Speaking of this, he turned around, lifted the brush again, and lightly circled the area of Qiantang County next to Yuhang County.

"This is the responsibility of the Long family master......"

In the blink of an eye, the twenty-six families went to two, and all of them were the most important positions, and everyone suddenly became nervous, especially the head of the Zhong family, who couldn't sit still anymore.

Once the right to build ditches in Yuhang County and Qiantang County falls into the hands of the Yu family and the Long family, they will be choked by the necks of the two families, and it is difficult not to bow their heads.

"Your Highness, our Zhong family is also willing to serve His Highness......"

came out in a hurry, and the hem of the robe accidentally hooked a few cases in front of him, almost overturning the refreshments on several cases. But at this time, he didn't care about this, lest he be one step behind, and the last place that could contain the Yu family and the Long family a little was also robbed.

Zhao Ying didn't see his embarrassment and eagerness, and turned his head to look at Li You on the side with a smile.

"Li Junshou, I remember, this is the head of the Zhong family, but I don't know much about the situation of the Zhong family, does their Zhong family have the ability to take on this matter......"

As soon as Zhao Ying's words came out, the head of the Zhong family suddenly became a little nervous, and arched his hand at Li You with some flattery.

"Although the Zhong family is not as large as the Yu family and the Long family in terms of land, they have been merchants for generations, and the family is rich, and they can be regarded as a famous family in our Ji County, if they do their best, it should not be a big problem......

What's not a big problem, it's no problem!

"Your Highness, our Zhong family still has some connections in Zhuji County, if we can undertake the construction of the ditch in Zhuji County, I dare to guarantee here that we will be able to complete Your Highness's task——"

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

turned around, raised the brush, and prepared to circle Zhuji County, and then at this moment, he suddenly heard a slightly old voice coming.

"May I ask Your Highness, what if two families choose one at the same time?"

The head of the Zhong family, who had already put his heart down a little, suddenly felt numb when he heard this, and looked at the brush in Zhao Ying's hand with some nervousness, eager to rush up and directly circle the lot in Zhuji County.

Because he heard it very clearly, the old thing he spoke just now was the largest wealthy family in Zhuji County, Zhu Zhang, the head of the Zhu family!

With them, Zhong is the main competitor in business.

Obviously, this old thing is coming for them.

Who knows, the more people worry about something, the more they come, and they saw that the brush that the emperor eldest grandson was about to draw was gently put back again, and said with a smile.

"The construction of ditches is the good governance of the imperial court for the benefit of the local government, in order to ensure the progress and quality of the construction, naturally whoever is strong and can complete the task better and faster, will be handed over to whoever is responsible......"

When Zhu Zhang heard this, he immediately nodded.

"Your Highness, my family has settled in Zhuji County for hundreds of years, and the clansmen are all over the township, and with just a shout, you can gather thousands of people to build a ditch, which is enough to ensure the quality and progress of the ditch......"

Zhao Ying bowed slightly, but did not say anything.

Zhu Zhang knew that if he wanted to win this benefit from the Zhong family, he would definitely have to pay more price, so the only one who was silent made a decision in an instant.

"Your Highness, the construction of the ditch was originally intended to benefit the township, and my family, as a big clan in Zhuji County, also received its favors, how could it be that I benefited myself, but instead worked on the money and grain subsidies of the imperial court?"

Yu Rang, Long Li: ......

All of them:......

Looking at Zhu Zhang's eyes, there was some danger.

This dog thief—

But the arrow is on the bow and has to be sent.

In order to prevent Zhong from completely kicking his family out of the game with the help of building a ditch, at this time, even if Zhu Zhang knew that it might cause complaints, he couldn't care so much. He stepped forward with a generous face and bowed deeply to Zhao Ying.

"Although the families are in business, but the gentleman has done something and has not done, has always been the most virtuous, the most like to help the township, for the benefit of the people, His Royal Highness personally came forward, for the people of our county to build a ditch, will be famous in history, such a grand event, how can my family not have a little heart to express?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhang once again gave a deep salute.

"My family is willing to contract all the costs of building the ditch, and do a little bit of insignificant care for the people of Huiji County......"

Zhao Ying's brows frowned slightly when he heard this, and his expression was a little hesitant.

"Masters of the family, this is not good, you are like this, once it spreads, I am afraid that no one will suspect that our court is going to exploit the place under the pretext of the other, it is inappropriate, it is not proper, it is not proper, your heart, we understand it......"

Seeing this, Zhu Zhang knew that His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun might have already moved his mind, and immediately made persistent efforts and said with a sincere face.

"Under the whole world, who doesn't know that the emperor Sun Ren and love people, is a virtuous gentleman, although the small people are far away in Huiji, they have already heard of it, but all things in heaven and earth, born to the sun, there is the emperor Sun Houde in front, naturally there are villains following behind, no other, admiration for its virtue only, your mind, we all know, but I Zhuji County people, also have a sense of shame, and please Your Royal Highness to fulfill the ......"

Looking at Zhu Zhang, who resolutely refused to get up if you didn't agree, Zhao Ying sighed in embarrassment, walked in front of Zhu Zhang, held Zhu Zhang's arm, and sighed.

"This-sure enough, there are sages in the township, I can't imagine that in the countryside, there are elders who are both virtuous and virtuous, forget it, if I don't agree to this matter, it will seem that I am not close to people......"

As he spoke, he shook his head, lifted the brush with emotion, and circled a heavy stroke on Zhuji County.

"In that case, then Zhuji County will be handed over to your families!"

Head of the Zhong family: !!!!!

He wanted to protest, however, the emperor's eldest grandson had already settled the matter in front of everyone, and he could only sit down helplessly. It's just that when he looked at Zhao Ying's eyes again, he was a little resentful.

Obviously, I came first......

A lot of things are actually chain reactions, not because you don't see through them.

In fact, which of the people here is not a human spirit?

How could no one see that the Yu family and the Long family were actually candidates who had already been determined by the emperor's eldest grandson, and they came out today to make an example for everyone, but the crux of the matter is, what do you think?

This matter can't be stopped.

And everyone understands that if you don't do it, others may not do it, the most important thing is that it is the same thing, who stands up first, who can get into the eyes of the emperor's eldest grandson first.

"Your Highness, our Zhang family is also willing to follow the example of the other families and make a little contribution to this matter......"

"Your Highness, our Song family is also willing to build at our own expense and do our part for this matter......"

"Your Highness, Your Highness......"

“……”

Looking at the passionate crowd, Zhao Ying couldn't help but spread his hands, looking embarrassed.

"This—you, the sages, the heads of the family, you—"

Zhao Ying sighed with some emotion.

"I will be a simple and simple people, and I have accumulated a lot of kindness and virtue, but I am also very embarrassed by you like this......"

As he spoke, Zhao Ying turned sideways and looked at the map behind him that had circled three counties.

"I can understand everyone's intentions, and I want to fulfill everyone, but building a ditch is not a child's play, in order to ensure the quality and consistency of the ditch as much as possible, we can only divide it into 26 places, and now there are only 23 left, so what can we do......"

Zhao Ying's meaning is obvious.

Anyway, it has already been planned, and it is impossible to subdivide it temporarily, and everyone can't help frowning, and suddenly you and I discuss it word by word. Zhao Ying didn't speak, just sat there with a look of embarrassment, waiting for everyone to discuss a result.

It turns out that when everyone wants to do it, everyone can always compromise with each other and negotiate a solution to the problem.

Eventually, the rest of the people, according to their own interests, formed themselves into twenty-three small groups, and each of them had a share, and each of them elected a representative, who should undertake the matter.

And in front of Zhao Ying and everyone, he said again and again.

Building ditches is the business of the people themselves, and as the people of Huiji, they build ditches for themselves and water their fields, but let the court spend money and grain, that is to lose the face of Huiji County!

Categorically disagreeable.

The emperor's eldest grandson repeatedly excused himself, and when he saw that everyone was resolute, he had no choice but to nod reluctantly. (End of chapter)
