Early that morning, Jia Cong received a letter from the river governor Lu Lianxian, the road platform Wu Zhou, the inspector eunuch Liu Zhiyuan.

When he saw the route and schedule stipulated by the Censorate, it was not only not too late, but also a few days earlier. Jia Cong immediately ordered to hire a merchant ship and ask his followers to carry him over. At this time, he had to go on a waterway.

Then he went to the opposite side to say goodbye to Qin Zhong. Unexpectedly, Qin Zhong went out to the market, and the old butler Qin Tong followed him. Jia Cong felt relieved when he entered the door. When he entered the door, he saw Qin Keqing smoking clothes on the cage. The room was full of fragrance. Jia Cong came over and said, "Is the one who came to ask about his marriage last night?

The river governor is generally called the general river.

"Yes." Qin Keqing was neither salty nor indifferent, and the two girls of Ruizhu Baozhu retreated. "I can't come for the first time. There are always two chances. Master Zonghe, a third-rank, said, "I shouldn't waste my youth... Maybe when my wife dies, I can be a grandma again, and I will grow old in a few years."

"No." Jia Cong shook his head and said.

"Why can't it?" Qin Keqing looked surprised: "I am Heli, and now I am innocent. I still have to be filial. When the filial piety period is over, I must have hope, right?"

This is really hard to answer. If she was once a daughter of an official family and could not be a concubine, and the official family's daughter was strictly prohibited by the court, but if she had a private meeting with her, wouldn't she not even have the title of a concubine? Therefore, this excuse is not easy to use.

Qin Keqing's eyes flashed sly, and it was really rare to see the taste of his junior brother.

"Senior sister is better with me than him." Jia Cong said openly and immediately held up Qin Keqing's jade hand: "You compare, he is old and old in terms of age. Senior sister is beautiful and beautiful. Wouldn't you be disgusted with him? In terms of third-rank, I am the top scorer in the first grade, he is only the second-rank. In terms of official rank, although he is a third-rank, several levels higher than me, I have greater power than him. A higher level of official rank, and it is not common to the censor. I have already become the first-rank at his age."

Qin Keqing laughed out loud, and Jia Cong kissed her with hatred. This senior sister was graceful and gentle, and her temperament was elegant. No matter how she looked, she was so romantic.

However, when Jia Cong went to kiss on the left, Senior Sister Qin's head turned to the right. When she went to kiss on the right, her head turned to the left, and she refused to succeed.

"Senior sister is really good at seducing people..." Jia Cong buried his head in her chest and arched it, and then he hit Qin Keqing's vital point. "Good junior brother, spare me."

Qin Ye's body was not cold. Although Jia Cong wanted to correct Qin Keqing on the spot, which made him feel strong, he also knew that this time was not suitable.

"Where am I hooking you?" Qin Keqing bit her lip and said, "You were next to me with a female Taoist priest in the middle of the night. Didn't you deliberately anger me? What's wrong with me..."

"I am not a female Taoist priest, but a Buddhist who practices with hair. Don't worry." Jia Cong also felt that he owed Qin Keqing a lot. Logically, Qin Keqing's personality is a blessing to marry a wife, but because of that uncle and nephew relationship, he can never break the barriers and shackles. What he had been silently paying for him for a few years was this woman. Although it was insignificant, she would have been waiting for so many years and her heart would be transformed. It would be a kind of compensation for her to be happier.

As for what I snatched from me, of course I can't let it go. Jia Cong and she hugged her silently for a while, and did not hear any difficulties, so they said goodbye and made an appointment to meet again the next day.

After leaving Qinghe, Miaoyu also noticed that Jia Cong and Qin Keqing had an unusual relationship, but she didn't know that Qin Keqing was once the grandmother of Ningguo Mansion, and no one mentioned it to her, and she was not interested. Otherwise, she would probably despise Jia Cong in her heart.

Let’s talk about the day when the boat is approaching Shanyang, and on both sides of the canal, they all look like a plain. Seven out of ten of the land in Huai'an belong to plains, but some places are green, and seedlings and mulberry seedlings are green in the spring breeze, and some places are convenient for a piece of yellow mud. The southwest of Shanyang is Hongze Lake, China’s fourth freshwater lake, and Hongze Lake is connected to the Huai River. The spring flood is that the flood waters flow back during the peach blossom flood. After the flood season, it is seen that refugees walk in the wild.

This scene made them silent when they landed. The chamber of commerce that traveled south and north of Shanyang had places, stalls and peddlers all the way, which seemed a little bleak at this moment.

As we walked up the plain road, someone in the crowd shouted: "The Master Qingtian from Shanyang has opened a warehouse to provide disaster relief. Go quickly, go quickly. I heard that there have been a few days of work-for-relief, so let's have a good meal."

These people are all around Hongze Lake. When the flood broke out, there was no home. Many people were happy: "Amitabha, Master Qingtian! The court gave Shanyang a living dragon map!"

Jia Cong remembered that the areas of Jingxiang and Anhui belonged to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Huangmei Opera was developed because of floods. People from Hubei ran to Anhui. So the chairman later said, "Huangmei Opera was washed away by the flood." At this time, when he heard about the actions of the magistrate of Shanyang, his first feeling was that Li Yuchang was a good official.

Jia Cong was preparing to reconcile with Liu Zhiyuan for the betel nut king. He was in charge of the three provinces and could deal with it. In addition, one thing he expected was that the Ministry of Revenue was not enough, and even if it was enough, there was not much left. This was the reason why Jia Cong had to accept bribes or even ask for bribes.

When bribery becomes the default unspoken rule in the officialdom and no one violates it, he can play under this unspoken rule, and there will be no problem.

Of course, the influence is Jia Cong's name in the Qing Dynasty, and his name will temporarily be stained, but when the river management is successful, everything will turn around.

Wu Si once lamented in "Unfashioned Rules - The Real Game of Chinese History" that no matter ancient and modern times, such unfashioned rules will not disappear. Therefore, in a democratic society, minimum living allowance is the convenience of related households. Officials in fertilizers and tea should also give convenience to related households. If someone violates the rules, they will be eliminated by the game.

For example, Emperor Yongzheng, who had been struggling for life, compromised with officials in the maintenance of integrity, but he could not clear out the unspoken rules of the officialdom in his life. Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind to kill all his life, and he was willing to peel off his skin and show it to public. He went to work in a shackle, but the Ming Dynasty was still full of corrupt officials.

At this moment, not far ahead, there is a person who violates the rules of the game.

...

"Three hundred thousand, this is the funding that Mr. Wang of the Ministry of Revenue will be issued by the two officials to sign the signatures of the two officials."

In a Linshui Pavilion in the Fucheng City, Wu Zhou was eating a few Huai'an dishes and chewed slowly: "Wu Hai, how much money does it take to get to Beijing officials in a year?"

"Master." Wu Haiyin smiled and said with a slight smile: "There are more than a dozen people who signed the documents of the cabinet, and the Tongzheng Department handled the memorials, each of which is hundreds of taels, the governor and the governor 1,000 taels per month, the vassal department, the magistrate's department, the Ministry of Personnel, and the ritual supervisor... In fact, there are not many 30,000 a year, and the grain storage channels in Shaanxi and Shanxi are not less than 50,000..."

"Listen..." Wu Zhou felt compassionate: "Minister Li, you'll just get some money and you'll finish it? Why bother handing the prosecutor to the Censorate? What can't be suppressed? What are you doing? Li Yuchang, 'Cao' Ni'ma!"

Wu Zhou slapped the table and lifted Li Yuchang's collar hideously. Wu Hai brought people around. Li Yuchang's follower outside the door not only did not save his master, but instead brought a strong cloth strip in. Wu Zhou winked and several people pressed Li Yuchang down and tied the cloth strip to his neck.

"Wu Zhou, Mr. Li will never surrender... Cough cough..." Li Yuchang struggled and said, "Assassination... the court's official... you, Cough cough cough..."

"Who knows? Li Yuchang was unable to help manage the river, so he hanged himself and committed suicide fearing crime!" Wu Zhou patted Li Yuchang's cheek, who was so angry, and said, "Don't want to be promoted and make a fortune? Then don't block our way!"

"When the husband is hungry in Huaiyin, he eats with his mother, and it is not good at the time, and he is humiliated under his crotch.

If you are ignorant in Chu, who will do it? If you are in trouble, you will be buried in the tiger.

He secretly came out of Chen Cang and decided to attack Chu. He pulled out Zhao and pretended to abandon the flag and drum.

...If you can argue a lot, you can't handle yourself. How can you make up for your previous achievements when Wei Yang was executed?

Alas! Han Xin, Han Xin, I will be bowed to you!"

Wu Zhou finished bowing to Han Xin's temple gate. Wu Zhou and Li Xiang had already dealt with Li Yuchang's body and pretended to commit suicide fearing guilt. Wu Zhou smiled and said, "Let's go! Let's welcome the censor who inspected the three provinces!"

Li Yuchang died with his eyes closed, and his protruding pupils were the silent accusations made by him, a clean official, about this world.
