Shi Zhongkui pointed at Shi Guangzhu and said to Shi Xingguo and Shi Xingtai, the leaders of the soldiers, "Take your uncle back to your house and tell your uncle and old lady to provide your uncle with more accounting rooms, masters and servants.

In case the errand assigned to him is not completed, I can only reluctantly give him 40 slaps.

If he is found to be corrupt, I will have no choice but to report to Your Majesty, and first take away Xuandelang's official status from him, and then hand it over to the judge for trial."

"this,,,."

Shi Xingguo and Shi Xingtai looked at Shi Zhongkui hesitantly.

Then, he was frightened by Shi Zhongkui's cold gaze and his heart beat loudly. He didn't understand that this was a taboo.

Thinking again about the inspector's body in him, how could the two of them dare to hesitate.

He stepped forward and cupped his hands in front of the stunned Shi Guangzhu, "Uncle, please don't embarrass me. Moreover, this is a military tent. I don't need to remind you of the consequences of disobeying military orders, right?"

Shi Guangzhu, who was about to curse, quickly shut up.

After all, I was responsible for assisting Shi Zhongkui in managing the river. If I really didn't accept the task, I deserved the beating.

And just a beating is light.

After thinking about this, Shi Guangzhu could only sigh and follow Shi Xingguo and Shi Xingtai out of the tent.

Shi Zhongkui smiled and said clearly that he asked Shi Huaiyong to allocate more accountants, masters and servants for Shi Guangzhu. If this still fails to complete the task.

The one who should be beaten is Shi Huaiyong.

Even the old housekeeper was sent to assist Shi Guangzhu, so Shi Guangzhu no longer had to watch the making of the utensils every day.

When they looked at Jia Lian and Xue Pan, they were really frightened.

Not only did he sit upright and look serious, he didn't even dare to look at himself.

Shi Zhongkui chuckled and ignored Xue Pan. He smiled and asked Jia Lian, "Brother Lian is here this time. Is there something wrong?"

Jia Lian hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Sir,..."

"Stop," Shi Zhongkui interrupted, "Second Brother Lian is not serving in our army, so there is no need to be so cautious.

The younger brother did that before, just to prevent it from happening. To prevent my uncle from being confused and being used as a gun without realizing it."

That being said, Jia Lian still dares to be as casual as before.

Xue Pan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and smiled.

But when he met Shi Zhongkui's malicious gaze, Xue Pan was startled again.

He couldn't help but murmur in his heart, if Shi Guangzhu didn't get beaten, but he hit the muzzle of a gun, he would definitely be laughed to death by Shi Guangzhu.

After Jia Lian thought for a while, although his expression was not as serious as before, his behavior was still very cautious and he said, "After brother Xue asked Xue Biao to send a message to me and Brother Pan, the old relatives and family friends who bought Babao wine before came to see him

My two brothers.

He said that he would like to ask my dear brother to go to Xiu Guogong's mansion to talk about it."

Shi Zhongkui waved his hand noncommittally, "We'll talk about it after we come to reminisce about old times. Second brother Lian should just tell him directly, do they want to control the river dock?"

"This", Jia Lian couldn't bear Shi Zhongkui's straightforward words.

Because this kind of business requires everyone to work together, doesn't that mean that not only do the nobles lose their power, but they are basically poor?

I can only nod my head bravely, "What do you mean, brother Xian?"

Of course Shi Zhongkui had no objection, "As long as 50 Wanshi ships are recruited, the dock matters have nothing to do with me.

How they control the terminal and how they distribute the benefits is their own business.

However, since we are old relatives and family friends, I would like to remind you that having too many collaborators is not necessarily a good thing."

After hearing this, Jia Lian said nonchalantly, "We'll just do the work of dredging the river, and let them solve the dirty work themselves."

After saying that, Jia Lian glanced at Shi Zhongkui secretly, thinking that with Shi Zhongkui here, in the future, civil servants would have some scruples if they wanted to suppress nobles like them.

At this time, Shi Zhongkui only felt that Jia Lian's words were correct, and running his own errands well was the primary goal.

Besides, despite the decline of the nobles, these people have been entrenched in the capital for generations, and the network of human relationships they have made and developed over hundreds of years is not small.

People like Wang Ziteng, first-class Bo Niu Jizong of the Zhenguo Palace, Liu Fang, the first-class son of the Liguo Palace, and Hou Xiaokang, the first-class son of the Xiuguo Palace, all also held important positions.

If you make them anxious, once they unite, they won't be able to accomplish much, but they can still find many ways to cause trouble and stumble.

------

After getting the big sand washing boat, the river dredging process speeded up a lot.

Shi Zhongkui's method of dredging is actually very simple.

It basically copied the practices of many officials responsible for dredging the capital's rivers during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

As for those 50 large ships, they were only used to drag large iron rakes to wash away sand and sunken ships and large rocks in the canal.

At the same time, he still knows the simple lifting principles.

Install chains on large ships to drop wood, and the cleaning speed will definitely increase by more than ten times.
