Today is a happy day. Since seeing the Ming Dynasty treasure ship first show its strength, the smile on Your Majesty's face has never stopped. Xing'an is actually not willing to disturb Your Majesty's elegant mood.

However, the news that Xiaohuangmen hurriedly came here is very important, so we should indeed prevent problems before they happen.

Xing'an bowed and said, "Lu Zhong, Yang Han and others led the Tiqi to arrest the remnants of Huichang Bo Mansion. A total of sixteen clans participated, and all of them have been arrested."

"Yeah." Zhu Qiyu nodded. He was very relieved to the speed of Tiqi handling the case. He took a sip of water and looked at Xing'an and said, "What else has Xiaohuangmen reported?"

Xing'an bowed his head and said, "Huangpu River water control matter."

Zhu Qiyu looked at the geometric map. Both Wusong River and Huangpu River originated from Taihu Lake in Suzhou.

Before the Xiayuan Ji River controlled the water, neither Taihu Lake nor Wusong River could discharge floods. When the rainy season came, the Taihu Lake Basin was flooded and became a water town.

During the dry season, there was a severe drought caused by insufficient water storage in Wusong River.

The poem says:

Who knew that from June to July, the rain was gone without any tide and exhausted.

Want to have a little bit of water, but it is more bloody than the farmer's eyes.

The surging Huangpu is like a ditches, and the farmers compete for water as if they are competing for pearls.

If several trucks are connected, the rice fields will become sandy.

The main problem with the Taihu water system is the problem of river congestion.

During the Hongwu period, Xia Yuanji Zaokuan Fanjiabang and combined the three rivers of Shanghai Pu, Xia Hai Pu and Lan Nipu into one, and finally flowed to the Wusong River to the estuary of the Yangtze River.

Xia Yuanji's plan was soon implemented. Shanghai Pu, Xia Hai Pu and Lan Ni Pu were one in the lower reaches of the Huangpu River. Several rivers merged in the lower reaches, and the water volume was extremely large, which could take away mud and sand and rush into the Yangtze River.

Later, Xia Yuanji presided over the digging of Nanhuikou to solve the irrigation problem of Songjiang Prefecture and completely solved the dilemma of the miserable life of the people in Songjiang Prefecture.

The maturity of the water system has never been achieved overnight. Around the Huangpu River and Wusong River, Songjiang Governor Li Binyan has been dredging in Songjiang Prefecture, and there are eight key projects.

The matter reported by Xiaohuangmen is the No. 3 Workstation, located in Henglaojing and Caijiabang in the upper reaches of the Huangpu River.

Five of the eight waterway dredging matters presided over by Li Binyan were supervised by the imperial court, and three were sold in Zhaojialou, Songjiang Prefecture, and the rich merchants were responsible for dredging.

Jinqiao Yin Road and dredged waterway are also very oily and water-water.

A rich merchant named Ye Zhongxing obtained the qualification to dredge the Caijiabang section of Henglaojing with a quote of 30,000 silver coins.

After Ye Zhongxing successfully bought this, he began to organize dredging, but the budget was spent before it was dug. Ye Zhongxing was afraid that the court would be punished, so he sailed out of the sea and ran away.

The current dredging project of Caijiabang section is unfinished.

"How did the Secretary of Xia solve the problem when he dug Fan Jiabang before?" Zhu Qiyu asked as he looked at the geometric map.

Xing'an whispered: "There is no Fan family in Songjiang anymore."

"Then follow the old rules." Zhu Qiyu said after a little consideration.

Xing'an bowed his head and said, "I will receive the order."

When he was buying Zhaojialou, Ye Zhongxing offered 30,000 silver coins, which was not the lowest, but Ye Zhongxing's quotation was very reasonable. While he was able to make money, his plan was very detailed.

Ye Zhongxing participated in the Zhaojialou Purchase business many times and cooperated with the court many times. He had a very good reputation. During the Battle of Zhoushan, he also received the military's food and salary, which was of high quality.

After the fire broke out at the Songjiang Prefecture Shipyard, tung oil was in short supply. Ye Zhongxing raised nearly 7,000 barrels of tung oil and sold it to Songjiang Prefecture at a fair price.

When Li Binyan returned to Songjiang Prefecture, Lei Juntai from Songjiang Shipyard talked about Songjiang Yougui and Ye Zhongxing's affordable sales, which solved the urgent need of Songjiang Prefecture Shipyard.

It was Ye Zhongxing who worked honestly, who was forced to run away.

The reason is that the Caijiabang section dredging project cannot continue.

The silt in the Caijiabang section is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. The Cai family of Huating deliberately blocked the river, one for irrigation of farmland near Caijiabang, and the other for the Fengting Water Pavilion in the Cai family's house.

The Songjiang River is rainy, and the Cai family’s house is built on a high place. If the Cai family’s house is not blocked, the Feng Pavilion and Water Pavilion in the Cai family’s house will be out of water.

Ye Zhongxing took on the dredging matter and started to dig the canal and ask Lifu to silt the canal, but everything went wrong. First, the canal and river embankment broke, and then Lifu was noisy and hustle and bustle to raise prices.

After Ye Zhongxing realized that he had caused great trouble, he found the root of the problem and went to the head of the Cai family to discuss, but he didn't even enter the door. In the end, the Caijiabang section spent more than 70,000 silver coins, but failed to dredge it.

Ye Zhongxing was so sad that he had no choice but to sail to the sea, without any trace.

"Your Majesty, what should I do if the waterway dredging in the Caijiabang section?" Xing'an asked hesitantly.

Zhu Qiyu said without hesitation: "Since Cai, Huating, is willing to donate the donations, I simply fulfilled him. After the family is home, the money collected will be used for dredging."

"Your Majesty, the Cai family in Huating has been banned..." Xing'an hurriedly said: "The head of the Cai family has also participated in the remnant case of Huichang Bo Mansion."

When Xing'an said this, Zhu Qiyu understood the problem of Xing'an.

Xing'an asked not only about the dredging of the waterways in the Caijiabang section, but the emperor already knew it. In order to ensure that the waterways in Songjiang Prefecture are well connected, and for the will of His Majesty, the Caijiabang section will inevitably be dredged.

Is it important that the Fengting Water Pavilion in the Cai family in Huating has water, or is it important for the emperor's face?

What Xing'an asked was actually how to deal with similar things in the Ming Dynasty when it came to labor-for-relief.

The pioneering project of labor-for-relief is in full swing. What should I do if such a thing happens again?

Should the Ming Dynasty be hosted by the imperial court?

Why did Li Binyan buy three workplaces in Zhaojialou instead of supervising the dredging of all the imperial courts?

Is it because Li Binyan has a problem with his money, or has Li Binyan become a country's borer?

In fact, this is not the case.

During the Song Dynasty, due to the system of grace and ceremonials, more than 70% of the officials in the Song Dynasty came with grace and ceremonials. The Ming Dynasty was a trap for three people, while the Song Dynasty was a trap for three people, with thirty people waiting for three people.

One of the major problems of the Song Dynasty's three redundant and two accumulations was that they could not be solved from beginning to end, that is, redundant personnel.

The redundant staff in the Song Dynasty was a disadvantage of the destruction of the country. It was not only the financial pressure of the redundant staff, but also aggravated the party and corruption disasters in the Song Dynasty.

Li Binyan chose to buy it because the imperial court had limited manpower. When doing these five work sites, Songjiang Mansion was already in a state of being trapped and hungry, and it was not a day or night.

Li Binyan presided over eight work sites in total. Li Binyan had two ways to solve the remaining three work sites, one was to expand the administration and the other was to buy merchants.

The administrative costs brought by expanding administration are much greater than those that merchants make profits after buying.

Moreover, in addition to the significant increase in administrative costs caused by redundant staff, it is easy to form a group of meat eaters that occupy a distributive position. This is what Li Binyan is most afraid of.

The reason why redundant staff can really be called the destruction of the country is this group of meat eaters.

For example: The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners, which had already started to sleep and look at the gate during the Kangxi period, had low combat effectiveness and were extremely expensive. Can the Qing Dynasty afford these hard-core crops in such a large Tartars?

Of course, I can afford it.

But those Beiletaiji who controlled the Eight Banners made the court feel chaotic.

After Yongzheng came to power, he asked these hard-core crops to only receive their salaries and not take matters into consideration. This was a solution to some problems and offended the nobleman Man.

Yongzheng, who was engaged in the gentry and paid food together, offended the Han landlords again. He offended the Han landlords first and the Han landlords later. Yongzheng eventually became disgusted with people.

Therefore, Li Binyan chose to buy pun to reduce administrative costs.

Ye Zhongxing was very capable and had a very good reputation in the court, but in the end he was defeated by the powerful and clan members.

"Ye Zhongxing will wait for another day, and Cai's house will be confiscated." Zhu Qiyu said with emotion. Ye Zhongxing is a good businessman and does not make bad money. Unfortunately, he ran away.

"As for labor-for-relief, the court has not yet managed to make it, so it still buys it, and everything is the same." Zhu Qiyu's tone was quite entertaining.

"Ah, this?" Xing'an was a little confused.

Everything is as usual?

Zhu Qiyu said earnestly: "Work-for-relief is a waste of money."

"Even I am always careful when facing more than 100 million silver coins. Since someone is willing to contribute all his wealth that has accumulated for generations, he will contribute money and efforts to the Ming Dynasty for labor-for-relief work."

"Why should I stop it?"

Xing'an then suddenly realized and bowed his head and said, "I understand."

His Majesty threw another shot when there were fish but no fish.

After the examination, the administration of officials has improved after several years. Work-for-relief is the national policy. Where is the problem? Your Majesty's water monkeys, including Tiqi, Duntai Yuanhou, and the various supervisors and censors.

Governors from all over the country and inspectors from all over the country can dispatch them to find donations.

After the implementation of labor-for-relief, the emperor's family did not have any surplus food.

Zhu Qiyu stood up, stretched his waist and said, "Let the inspection department find out where Ye Zhongxing is. I heard that he is from Zhejiang. Xia Shizhi was arrested. The two Zhejiang businessmen were hanging in the air and found him back.

, send it to be the head of the business manager.”

"Xu Chengzong came to Qing'er for such a thing, just let him do it."

Ye Zhongxing was not intentional about letting the Caijiabang section be unfinished. Caijiabang section is expected to have 30,000 silver coins, and Ye Zhongxing spent 70,000 silver coins but couldn't handle it.

Ye Zhongxing is not incompetent. On the contrary, Ye Zhongxing has a strong ability.

When the Secretariat of the Secretariat promulgation of Xia Yuanji, when the Fan family in Shanghai obstructed Xia Yuanji and others. Xia Yuanji had started construction, and even people could not be recruited.

Xia Yuanji was forced to complain to Emperor Gao. Emperor Gao was too lazy to spoil them and directly copied Fan and wiped him away. This matter was grabbed and scolded by Shi Lin for more than 600 years.

Is there water in the fields of the people? Where is the Feng Pavilion and Water Pavilion in the house important?

Ye Zhongxing was able to start construction and tried hard to maintain it for a while, and his ability was not weak.

The next morning, Zhu Qiyu changed into regular clothes and was about to go out. Ran Siniang wanted to stay in bed, but Zhu Qiyu pulled her up.
