Great Blue Night Watchman

The last flood peak has passed, and the torrential rain that lasted for more than ten days has stopped. The dark clouds have moved away, and the sun has emerged again. On the river embankment, thousands of people are cheering, and countless people are kneeling in the muddy water with tears running down their faces. Magistrate Yang’s eyes are also filled with tears. Slightly moist.

In these ten days, he felt that he had been taught a lesson about "the way of being an official." This lesson was more than what he had gained from being an official for half his life.

He took out his official seal, and for some unknown reason, instead of reporting his safety to his immediate superior, Qin Zhizhou, he formed a swan goose and flew towards the capital.

In Qu Mansion, the sky clears after the rain.

Lin Su put down the powder in his hand and looked at the long-lost sun.

On the roof of Yixian Courtyard, Qu Xiu put down the Dream of Red Mansions in her hand, walked out of the pavilion, and looked into the distance. The fog in the distance gradually dissipated, revealing the huge mountain of books behind Gongyuan...

A golden goose flew from a distance and flew to the top of the building where they were.

Lin Su came out of the small room. The golden goose fell on his hand and turned into a line of words: "The rainy season has passed, Haining's 40-mile river embankment is intact, and no one on the river beach has died! Great news, I only report to you." !”

On the roof of Yixian Courtyard, everyone jumped up at the same time, and the cheers shook the whole hospital...

Lin Su laughed loudly: "Today is really a double happiness. Haining is safe. Guess what the other happiness is?"

Qu Xiu was shocked: "Uncle, could it be...could it be that the dye has been dyed?"

"Exactly!" Lin Su said: "Sister Chen, you can set up a new printing and dyeing factory with your sister-in-law!"

Sister Chen came out of the room. After nearly ten days of hard work, she was stained with various paints, but her face was extremely moving: "Second Young Mistress, the young master has worked hard for ten days and finally made a special dye. I have just verified that it is ten days." The eight colors are all eye-catching, and what’s even more unimaginable is that they will never fade. Even if they are washed dozens of times, they will still look like new, and not a single bit of color will remain in the washing water.”

How can this be?

Qu Xiu and Qu Juan were both stunned. The color didn’t fade after being washed dozens of times?

This is absolutely impossible!

Dingjia Dyeing House is known as the best dyeing house. The color of the cloth they dye will fade after washing it. After washing it ten times, the color will become very light. After washing it dozens of times, not only there will be no color, but at least you will never be able to tell what the original color is. …

He solved the dyeing problem in just ten days? And it also created a new era of printing and dyeing?

Neither she nor the entire music family wanted to imitate, and the conscience of heaven and earth really never thought of surpassing!

Luyi and Anye also looked at each other, is this it?

Sister Chen said he had worked hard for ten days. What the hell did he work hard for? In these ten days, he played in green clothes for four nights and in dark nights for five nights. He took the time to write ten chapters of Red Mansion. He lay on the roof of the building every day drinking Mingqian tea and took a nap every day. Do you call this hard work?

Sister Chen and the Qu sisters went to organize people to build a workshop—no, it was called a factory!

With excitement and disbelief.

Liu'er got the fifteenth chapter of "A Dream of Red Mansions" from Lin Su and hurried home. The Red Mansion was given to Lu Youwei who was already looking forward to seeing it. She also told Lu Youwei what she had seen today. She had just entered the Qu Mansion at that time. I saw swan geese passing messages in the distance, and I saw the cheers of these people on the top of the building.

This seemed so strange to her.

The man on the top of the building has extraordinary literary talent. Others write golden poems to pay tribute to their ancestors, but he writes poems handed down from generation to generation as if it is a joke.

Others rejoice when they make a few dollars, but he is said to make thousands or tens of thousands every day and has almost no sense of money.

What's going on today?

Soon, she knew the whole story. Over in Haining, the 40-mile river embankment was intact...

She casually told Lu Youwei about this matter.

Lu Youwei's eyes suddenly moved away from the book, so surprised...

"Miss, is this matter... big?" Liu'er didn't understand.

Lu Youwei took a deep breath: "Did he say what this river embankment has to do with him?"

"I didn't say it, but it should be related to him. I think it's possible that his family's property is on the river embankment. If the river embankment is fine, then the property will be fine..."

Lu Youwei said: "But I know that the Haining river embankment is lacking every year without exception. How dare he build his property in such a deserted place? I want to find grandpa..."

She put down the copy of "A Dream of Red Mansions" for the first time without reading it. She waited outside her grandfather's study for a full hour before she finally waited for her grandfather to go on duty...

"Grandpa, please check the flood situation in Haining quickly."

Lu Tiancong was slightly startled: "Could it be that... the Lin family suffered a big disaster?"

"No!" Lu Youwei gasped: "He just received a piece of news that Haining's Shili River Beach was intact during the flood! Last year, he signed his credentials with one hundred thousand taels of silver and wanted to give Haining ten A stable home for the common people, and everyone in the court laughed at him as a prodigal. But now, the river embankment is intact, and no one died. He wanted to give the common people a home, and he really gave it to him! Grandpa, don’t you think this is Do you have any secrets?"

Lu Tiancong was shaken violently.

During these times, he received so many memorials that he couldn't even remember where they were. Anyway, roughly speaking, there was no pure land on both sides of the Yangtze River. But when he heard his granddaughter say this, he recalled quickly in his mind. Quzhou was the most severely affected place, but Haining under the rule of Quzhou...

No news!

Haining used to be the hardest hit area!

Qin Fangweng, the magistrate of Quzhou, would write to the court every time. How many refugees in Haining had died and how many people were displaced. The court should provide disaster relief. But this year, he did not see the name Haining!

Could it be said that Haining really did not suffer any disaster this year?

How can it be?

The river is surging, and Haining is located on a low ground. Who has the power to change the course of the river?

Contact Qin Fangweng immediately...

Lu Tiancong had just made this preparation, but soon changed his mind and contacted Haining Prefect Yang directly.

As soon as the official seal was displayed, Magistrate Yang appeared in front of him and bowed slightly: "I have met the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister personally summoned me. I really didn't expect that..."

Lu Tian looked past Magistrate Yang and suddenly saw the river embankment behind him. A straight line of river embankment stretched into the distance, as if it were endless. He was shocked. Such a river embankment actually appeared. When Repaired? Who approved the funding? Why didn't he know? If he hadn't seen a bend on the other side of the Yangtze River and the famous Wangjiang Tower, he would have almost suspected that this was not Haining.

"Prefect Yang, what is behind you is..."

Magistrate Yang turned around and smiled when he turned around again: "Excuse me, Prime Minister, the place where the official is standing is the former refugee river bank. This river embankment was built between October and November last year because it was useless. funds from the treasury, so the lower officials did not report to the higher authorities.”

Lu Tiancong frowned: "No money from the treasury was used? Who invested in it?"

"The river beach refugees built it themselves. Of course, it is mainly due to the third son of Lin Sulin. He built three factories here and provided almost all the materials for free. The river beach refugees contributed their efforts and he provided the materials. In the end, this was achieved. A magnificent project.”

Lu Tiancong was even more surprised: "This river embankment is so expensive, can I imagine that he is responsible for it alone? Also, how can a project like this be completed in just one year? What kind of wonderful method is it?"

Magistrate Yang smiled. The prime minister thought the embankment was made of stone, right? Not really! How can there be so many stones in the Baili Plain of Haining? This is a new material made by Third Young Master, called cement! It is a magical tool used to build flood control embankments. It is cheap and as strong as iron. The greater advantage is that it is easy to build. The Prime Minister may not believe it, but it only took a month...

Lu Tiancong was shocked.

Built in a month?

Low price?

Floods are rampant in the world, and every rainy season is a day of suffering for people all over the world. If this kind of architectural magic material can be widely implemented, it will be simply...

His heart was up and down, and he wanted to go find Lin Su as soon as possible.

However, after serving as an official for many years, he is still very calm: "Prefect Yang, you have done a great job! The court's disaster relief will be sent to all states immediately. You should quickly report the loss of your prefecture to Qin Zhizhou and appease the victims..."

Magistrate Yang said: "Prime Minister, there are disasters all over the thirteen states in the south. You don't need to provide disaster relief here. I have reached a consensus with the Lin family. Starting tomorrow, the whole government will provide disaster relief."

"Lin family disaster relief?" Lu Tiancong's face darkened slightly: "Prefect Yang, you have been an official for many years, how could you commit such taboos?"

In the face of disasters, it is only right for the court to provide disaster relief. If a charitable household wants to provide disaster relief, the government will regard you as a good person. If the scope is too large, it will be a taboo.

What do you want to do?

To win people's hearts?

Magistrate Yang was shocked. He seemed to be a little carried away by the good news. He had just met the old lady of the Lin family. The old lady was really good at being alone when she was poor, and benefiting the world when she was rich. When she heard that there were a lot of people in Haining The victims immediately said that the Lin family could bear one hundred thousand taels of silver for disaster relief. Anyway, Sanlang would make money. Didn't he always say that I was a prodigal? I can't just use the name of a prodigal and not do prodigal things...

The girls laughed happily on the spot.

Magistrate Yang was also stimulated.

But now after hearing what the Prime Minister said, I also felt the seriousness of the problem.

It's easier for other families, but the Lin family is very sensitive. You need to know that Lin Su's first poem that became famous all over the world was suspected of being anti-poetry. The house was full of flowers and three thousand guests were drunk, and the sword frosted forty states...

Holy shit! This poem is not an anti-poem, even Magistrate Yang is not convinced!

If he uses his family's efforts to relieve the disaster in the whole house, will everyone in the house not think of the good things of the Lin family?

Magistrate Yang realized his mistake, thanked the Prime Minister for reminding him, and left.

Lu Tiancong put away his official seal, his chest rising and falling gently...

"Grandpa, you must quickly report to His Majesty and order all states and governments to immediately purchase this sacred material and repair embankments everywhere. Maybe next year, there won't be such a terrible disaster."

Lu Tian never moved, his eyes wandering.

Lu Youwei was anxious: "Grandpa, no matter what kind of person he is, it does not detract from the fact that he is a peerless genius. The common people need him and need materials like him, cement! Coal! It is related to the lives of hundreds of millions of people!" grandfather……"

Lu Tiancong nodded slowly: "It concerns the lives of hundreds of millions of people! Grandpa understands its weight... Okay, I'll go see Your Majesty!"

Lu Tiancong entered the palace, met His Majesty, and told Haining's situation. He sensitively noticed that His Majesty's face did not seem cheerful, but became more gloomy, and Lu Tiancong's heart quietly sank.

His Majesty summoned several other ministers to discuss matters.

Several ministers expressed their opinions.

Zhang Wenyuan said that using stone to waterproof is an iron rule. How can "cement" be waterproof? Unless he cast a magic spell in this muddy water! You need to know that his friendship with the demon clan is known to the world.

As soon as the theory of magic came out, everyone was shocked.

right! Zhao Xun added: Lin’s evil intentions are known to the world, and matters related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, how can he be allowed to calmly plan it? What if one day he raises a flag to rebel and activates the monster mechanisms designed on various rivers, and the rivers lack embankments?

Song Du reported that he had just received a memorial from Qin Zhizhou. He said that during this flood, the demonic air over Haining was soaring into the sky. I don’t know whether it is good or bad...

Lu Tiancong looked up to the sky and sighed.

When he heard the news about the powerful flood control tool and saw its magic with his own eyes, he had an impulse, an impulse to change this era. Perhaps this impulse itself also contained his own utilitarianism to pursue official reputation and popular support, but after all, it was also a He had the normal thinking of an official, but he soon understood that things were not that simple.

When His Majesty's face turned gloomy, he knew what the outcome of this meeting would be.

Black magic is an excuse.

The reason is that they want to suppress the Lin family.

This is also the reason why His Majesty the King is afraid of Lin Su.

Even if the people of the world sacrifice hundreds of millions, what does it have to do with them?

But helping the Lin family become famous and winning the hearts of the people all over the world may really shake their rule.

This is the way superiors think.

Lu Youwei doesn't understand these things, how could Lu Tiancong not understand them?

Therefore, Haining's miracle not only did not spread to the world, but even among the official seals of various places, Haining's deeds were a taboo. The people in the outer government had no idea that the most effective flood control tool had appeared, but it was kept in the mouths of those in power.

…

Lin Su had already thought about the cement matter. He even personally contacted Li You, the head of the cement factory, and asked in detail about the cement production. He realized that there would be a large number of orders coming soon.

A flood and a big exam. Haining stood out in this big exam. The government will naturally pay attention to it. Once it pays attention, who wouldn't be moved? The spring of cement is coming.

However, to his surprise, three days have passed and no one has talked to him about the cement issue. There are also rumors in Haining that cement is a magic weapon and that it looks solid. It is just an illusion. Once you really buy it, As long as someone from the Lin family snaps their fingers, this solid cement will immediately turn into sand...

Lin Su was really angry when he heard these rumors.

Still underestimated the shamelessness of court officials!

Lin Jialiang was even more furious. These people were so shameless. In order to suppress the Lin family, they even ignored the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Third brother, I really hope that I can become an official soon...

Only if he becomes an official and takes charge of the government can he turn the third brother's vision into reality.

Lin Su smiled: "There are only seven days left for the imperial examination. Many things will happen in these seven days, but one thing will not change. You will be the first civil servant of the Lin family. Under your rule, It will be a paradise for the people!"

Lin Jialiang held his hand tightly: "Third brother, we will all be like this! Third brother is a talented man with great talents and a heart that cares about the country and the people. If he cannot be an official, heaven will not tolerate him!"

A voice came from outside: "Sir, someone is visiting!"

The Lin brothers looked at each other, who could it be?
