Because of the huge downstream water network and the two large lakes upstream, Juyeze and Liangshanbo, even if the Yellow River burst its banks the year before last, Yunzhou City did not suffer excessive losses.

The first thing Wang Kechen did when he came to Yunzhou was to overhaul the lake embankment not far from the city. This aroused the dissatisfaction of local officials and gentry.

The people of Yunzhou are not worried at all about the flood of the Yellow River, and they are quite disapproving of Wang Kechen's behavior of patrolling the river embankment every day.

But Wang Kechen was worried, because before leaving Beijing, Su You repeatedly warned that if the Yellow River must burst, it would not be able to escape from two places, Neihuang in the north and Puyang in the south.

Jue Neihuang, Xiangzhou, and Damingfu will become a marsh country.

If we defeat Puyang, we will not be able to escape Yunzhou.

To Wang Kechen, Su You's forward-looking vision was like a crow's iron mouth, and his words must be accurate.

Since he said that, and Yunzhou is so important, there is no chance of any luck.

In order to prevent floods, Wang Kechen even moved the entire lakeside side of the state capital to the other side, which was equivalent to moving the entire Yunzhou City two miles east to a higher ground.

This incident consumed Wang Kechen's great energy and character. Fortunately, although officials and gentry opposed it, he received strong support and financial and material assistance from factory owners, mainly Sitong.

Suyou, who was far away in Bianjing, expressed strong support for this and provided Wang Kechen with an interest-free loan of 500,000 yuan through Huangsong Bank to purchase urgently needed supplies such as cement and explosives.

The common people were not very motivated to work in the past because the wages given by the court were not enough.

Taking advantage of a prince like him is harder to come across than a flood. Although the project is urgent, the money for the work and materials is generous.

If you have breasts, you're a mother, and it's so exciting to fuck her.

Tongpan, who followed Wang Kechen on his inspection tour, is still trying to persuade him: "Ming Gong, there is such a long distance between Puyang and Yuncheng, and now that the city has been moved to a higher place, there is still such a large piece of water outside the city. Even if

No amount of water can be contained."

"In the past three flood peaks, the Yellow River embankment was as stable as a rock. It rained continuously for days, but the water level in Liangshanbo did not rise much..."

"Even when the embankment burst the year before last, the water had just reached outside the city. Those affected were only the fields around the lake. Most of the industrial bases are still in good condition..."

The establishment of local officials in the Song Dynasty and the Tongyan actually had the purpose of restricting the power of the magistrates. Therefore, there was obviously a political game between the first and second local leaders.

Suyou's approach at the local level has always been to clearly divide the work and assume each person's responsibilities. All the minister's money is at the disposal of the second-in-command, and he does not get a penny from it. The political power and economic interests are given to the second-in-command and he has nothing to say.

There is no need for Wang Kechen. His status is also very special. He is both a noble and a civil servant. Therefore, if you dare to make trouble with him, he can make trouble worse than you.

If you become a noble civil servant, you will definitely be able to reason with you?

For example, when it comes to the use of funds for the Yunzhou City infrastructure project, Wang Kechen monitors the use of funds extremely strictly. He approves all uses without approval.

For those who were unreasonable, and it was clear at a glance that they were just for the sake of profit, Wang Kechen not only refused to criticize, but also called the person who made the suggestion over and scolded him in public.

But for civilian workers, Wang Kechen gave them very generous wages, so much so that they were on the same level as the workers in Sitong Construction.

This policy played a decisive role in relocating villages along the lake to the interior.

The land in the villages along the lake is basically flooded once a year. When the water recedes, there is a rush to plant, and when the flood comes, there is a rush to harvest. This is the case every year.

If the water comes earlier or recedes later in any year, the people along the lake may have a hard time and have to rely on catching hairy crabs to survive.

In Hebei's borders, per capita land is not an issue. As long as the land to the east can have a constant water supply, the people themselves are willing to move.

Therefore, Wang Kechen's actions in Yunzhou were very different from those of his predecessors.

They were all engaged in industrial development, but Wang Kechen was devoted to water conservancy and agriculture.

It would be wrong to say that Tong Yan had many opinions against Wang Kechen. He was just caught between the gentry and Wang Kechen and was not a good person.

Wang Kechen smiled and said: "You can do it, who asked you to beat the drum? Those lands in the north of the city are dead to me. One acre and twenty acres is the upper limit. Don't tell me that the land is fragmented and difficult to manage. I

What I want is this piecemeal!”

"Especially if there are several brothers in the family, the plots must not be adjacent to each other. Although it feels a bit troublesome now, it will take a few years to realize how good my husband is!"

It is actually the easiest place for disputes between brothers when their land is adjacent to each other, and it is difficult for an upright official to settle household affairs, which can easily involve supporting parents, taking care of children and nephews, secretly moving borders, not acknowledging promises made at the wine table after drinking, etc.

, once it is brought up, it is the public saying that the public is right and the mother-in-law saying the mother-in-law is right.

Wang Kechen is a capable minister, and he has seen through these things for a long time. The land among brothers is connected to each other. Another problem is that it is very easy to form forces, bully the weaker ones around them, and finally become a annexing force.

The reason why the gentry opposed Wang Kechen was because of this, which made it more difficult for them to annex in the future from all aspects.

The judge smiled horribly and said: "Yes, Duke Ming's move has a profound meaning. How can outsiders know it? However, the official is just thinking about Duke Ming. Previously, he ordered the people to be forced to die, and Duke Ming made the rich lose two-thirds.

Now that we can’t get any benefits from the land allocation, it’s inevitable that there will be some complaints.”

Wang Kechen stopped and said, "What a joke! The land in the north of the city was divided and the compensation was based on the demolition area. Did they really suffer a loss?"

"When Fan Xi took office as the general magistrate of Yunzhou and managed the river defense, he once said, 'The rich and the poor are different but the importance is the same, so the farmers will be in great poverty. Moreover, the imperial edict was used to save the people's power, but now they are all taken. This is a mistake.'

"

"Not only did he do this himself, he also sent a request to all the states to be led by Yun, and the imperial court obeyed at that time."

"I'm just following the rules. The rich lose one-third more. That's the old rule. Do you really think that I, the Jinshi, got here by cheating? Don't you know these allusions to Yunzhou City?"

"What's more, the bulk of it is the Sitong firm, ah, there is also the Royal Charity Fund operated by Shaobao, and the interest-free loan from Huangsong Bank... Hey, I'm about to ask, if they really want me to follow Wang Anshi's method, in their hearts

It makes your head feel better, right?"

"No, no, no..." Tong was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands: "That's not what I meant..."

"Yes!" Wang Kechen then said: "Don't push too far. You must know that there are many ways for me to advance, but there are not many ways for them to retreat, so everyone should just pull and pull and get through if they can."

Bar."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Tong San was completely honest: "Isn't this because there is too much labor, which will attract criticism from the DPRK and China, and affect the performance appraisal of old Minggong..."

Wang Kechen said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of this. Su Mingrun said it well. The industry in Yunzhou has already started, but one beauty covers up all the ugliness, and many things that should be done have not been done."

"How much water this barrel can hold depends not on the longest stave, but on the shortest stave. If we didn't wake up even if we were like that the year before last, God won't give us many chances to do it again!

"

Seeing that Tong Juan was speechless, Wang Kechen said: "Are the materials prepared properly at Wang Lingxun?"

Tongpan raised his hands and said: "With the corridor built under the leadership of Ming Gong, the transportation of materials is now fast and everything is ready."

Wang Kechen nodded: "Don't cut corners, I'll go take a look tomorrow."

The two continued to patrol, and Wang Kechen brainwashed the judge: "You are just too soft-hearted! When Su Mingrun was in charge of Kaifeng, it was really called keeping his hands on everything, and everything was spared."

"Do you know that when he went to Yuan Dynasty to guard Kaifeng at night, His Majesty refused to call him?"

"Ah?" The judge was frightened: "How old was the Duke of Yu State back then? How dare he?"

"He just dares! Do you know what he told the people below?" Wang Kechen said: "He said at that time, just treat it as if it is the Lantern Festival this year and the city of Kaifeng will be on fire!"

"And what I want to say is that you just treat Yunzhou City this year as a flood!"

The two of them had just finished chatting when they saw a Pegasus galloping from a distance. The rider was wearing a new army uniform with two red flags on his back. The horse looked very splendid when he sat down.

Tong Juan is stupid, Wang Taishou, does this count as a crow’s iron mouth?! Does it count?!
