Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

"It can be repaired from this section along the seawall. There are several kinds of drainage channels. There are large underground deep channels with the water outlet in the middle section, where the sewage can be settled and dissolved. The three connected deep drainage channels, The links are interlocking, and finally the water quality can be filtered, and the normal sewage can be infiltrated and purified. The rising water during the heavy rain will be discharged to the seaside." Jiancong explained with the latest detailed map of the southern city of the imperial capital with a charcoal drawing.

Both Jin Hua and Shen Luo nodded, this simplicity is indeed useful.

Because of Jinhua's relationship, he was appointed as the seventh-rank Nancheng supervisor, directly under Shen Luo, but Jinhua's subordinate.

And Jian Cong is also a smart person, because he is grateful to Jinhua, so he can be regarded as a master and apprentice.

Among the students, it is very normal to address you as Mr., even if you are the examiner of your own township examination, you can actually call him Mr., and you can also call yourself his student to the outside world.

As far as all the students in the imperial capital of this subject are concerned, they can actually call themselves sinking students.

"43 people, this number is far larger than we imagined." Shen Luo said: "37 streets, more than 300 alleys, not counting side alleys, this project is huge, there is no starting point of 200 million taels, only It’s hard to start.”

"One household counts four to three people, and one hundred thousand houses are needed." Jian Cong said.

From time to time, new words came out of his mouth, Shen Luo and Jian Cong were already used to it.

"If we rely on our strength alone, it is impossible. Unless the government allocates funds, or wealthy businessmen get involved." Jinhua said.

"We have to make a plan. Every time a rich businessman builds five courtyards of our standard, he can get two-story shops along the street. The shops belong to him, and the courtyards belong to the imperial government. In this way, we can beautify the environment and save money. " Jian Cong looked at Shen Luo while talking, and he already knew from the contact these days that this Lord Fuyin is a sponge-like person, not only learns quickly, but also can draw inferences from one instance to another.

"The building requires our people to construct, all the store specifications, courtyard standards, land size, a well for each street, and a place to go to the toilet." Shen Luo said.

"It's better to build a public toilet on each street, divided into men and women. There should also be a special place to take out the garbage, and arrange special personnel to clean the street." Jian Cong said the current street planning.

"In that case, will the land in Nancheng be enough?" Jin Hua asked worriedly.

"This stretch of coast is full of reefs, which are of no use value. We can reclaim land from the sea." Jian Cong said.

Shen Luo took a look: "This plan is good. But the main cause of the waterlogging in the entire imperial capital, is there any other reason besides the lack of well-built drainage ditches in poor places?"

"Here!" Jinhua pointed to the front and back of Fenghuang Street: "The reason why the main road is not flooded is because there are moats on both sides. The moats are in the Gongwei Palace, and the rich mansions have drainage ditches to drain rainwater into the moats."

"If it is reclamation, what should we do if there is not enough water for the reclamation land?" Shen Luo asked.

"No, this triangular area is directly filled into the outer city, where there are rivers, and the water quality is very good. We can use channels to divert the water back and build public pools." , finally has a place to use.

"Okay!" Shen Luo nodded: "If you want the rich merchants from the imperial capital to participate, you need someone to mobilize, and this person has to talk about everything."

"The lower officials have someone to recommend." Jin Hua said.

"Who?" Shen Luo looked at him.

"Young master." Jin Hua reminded.

"Songran?" Shen Luo thought for a moment: "This is a good candidate, and he also wants to make some achievements, but I don't know how he is doing in the Salt Tax Department?"

"Why don't you go and ask the officials." Jin Hua asked.

"Don't worry, your husband, like mine, is the one who has to weigh something before making a decision. In this way, I will talk to Song Ran to test his confidence, and I will talk to you tomorrow. If you're bored, that's half the battle." Shen Luo said.

"En!" Jin Hua nodded: "Your Excellency really understands our young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

During the day today, Qingchen invited Jian Cong's family to the mansion for dinner, so Shen Luo and the others went back together in the afternoon, because Jin Hua took the initiative to avoid suspicion because he wanted to make an appointment with Baili Songran.

Now the three of them are all in the same trench, and for the sake of Nancheng's achievements, they can be regarded as very cooperative.

Ask the yamen servant to invite Songran to the mansion, before Shen Luo arrives, Baili Songran has already arrived at his mansion.

"Hurry up and drink tea!" Baili Songran sat in the study with Dama Jindao and greeted Nie Xingfeng.

Jian Cong looked at the Kung Fu tea set and sighed: "There is still such a tea set in the adults' mansion, I don't know where I got it."

"It's from the south." Shen Luo asked him to sit down.

Jian Cong took a sip of tea and sighed: "It's a pity, it's not Tieguanyin!"

"Tieguanyin?" Baili Song's face twitched: "What is that? It sounds very good."

"I've also heard of a kind of tea, and I can't ask for it." Jian Cong smiled.

Baili sighed with relief: "A Luo, how can you find some interesting people to play with? Brother Feng is not bad, and now here is another one, unlike me, who works as a master in the Salt Tax Department every day!"

Jian Cong thought to herself, Mr. Shen is really sleepy, someone gave him a pillow.

Taking a sneak peek at Shen Luo, he poured tea for Song Ran in a lukewarm manner: "I'm also busy with work, if I hadn't been divided into four yamen, I would have been promoted more than ten or twenty times a day, and I can't wait to get promoted. It grows in the lobby. This Master Jian was also excavated by me to control the waterlogging."

"I heard, my father asked Jinhua casually, and my father also said that you are unique in employing people, and you are more flexible than the old officials!" Baili said calmly: "Be busy, don't be like me, just dawdling around every day. "

"Aren't you a errand? Why are you just dawdling? The main reason is that you don't want to do something." Shen Luo teased him.

"Me." Baili Songran said in a low voice: "The salt tax department is all from the king of Yue, like an iron bucket. I thought I could fool around and have nothing to do with the salt merchant, but that's good, everyone below is alone. He hugged the thigh of a salt merchant and didn't want me to go at all. As soon as I said, I'll go, a large group of people said, Lord Baili, how can I excuse you, old man!"

"Hey, what you said is really vivid, Brother Songran." Xiao Shitou said as he came over to deliver some snacks.

"Hey, Shitou, you don't know Brother Songran's suffering!" Baili Songran rubbed his face, looking at Jian Taotao who stared at him, thinking it was very funny.

The next night, Jinhua went to visit Baili Mansion.

The plaques on the doors of each mansion have certain specifications.For example, the "Prince Qi" mansion, these are the mansions of nobles, and they are bestowed by the emperor, there will be no changes, they can be hereditary, unless it is a copy of the house.

As for "Shen Mansion" and "National Mansion", these are the first to show that this house is bestowed by the emperor on individuals, not for the title of nobility. Such a house can be traded.

As for the lord's mansion, transactions are not allowed.

This is the case with Bailifu.

"You said that Shen Luo wants to transform the entire Nancheng?" Bailiyu looked at Jinhua, and Baili Songran was also sitting at the side. This was Jinhua's suggestion.

"This is because the planning has come out. Commercial markets, drainage ditches, public latrines, wells, and even waste disposal have specified locations." Jinhua took out the drawings and said.

Bailiyu looked carefully: "Miao, this kid is a man of business, but according to the old man, there may be the emperor's impetus for this!"

Jinhua thought for a while, and there might be this possibility: "It's possible, I've tricked him many times, but he refused to talk about the money. I went to the household office office secretly today, and found Jia Jinbao. He said that the entire imperial capital The government treasury is less than 50 taels of silver, and more than 2000 people have to be paid salaries!"

"Well, the emperor is going to make a big move. I am old and want to do something drastic, to save myself a reputation, and to do something for future generations." Bailiyu said with a little emotion.

"Then how can such a big event be entrusted to young people?" Jin Hua asked curiously.

"If the old guy does it again, why should he be rewarded!" Bailiyu said, looking at his youngest son: "Even though the imperial court has so much money, Shen Luo can't do it well enough."

"Forget it, don't even think about it if you don't have a base of 200 million taels," Jin Hua said.

"But it will be easy to collect rent in the future." Bailiyu thought about it: "Not to mention other things, it is the rent of the shop. I estimate that it will be paid back in five or six years."

"Master Shen said this, if you build five private houses, you can get a two-story pavement, which saves trouble." Jin Hua said.

"That is to combine government and business, which is a way to save money." Bailiyu thought about it.

"Enxiang, this Young Master Yun's market is not low, and the Shen University's market is also high. It seems that the people in this class are all looking for positions for the following lords and high-ranking officials." Jin Hua pointed.

Bailiyu nodded, but did not answer.

At noon the next day, Baili Songran found Shen Luo at the yamen of the Imperial Capital Household Office, and said that he wanted him to go to Songhe Tower for dinner together.

After Shen Luo finished reading Ku Yin in the imperial capital and the expected tax revenue later, he had someone copy a copy, and boarded the car with Song Ran.

"Why are you so free today?" Shen Luo asked.

"Boring, you have nothing to do at noon anyway, or are you eating at the Yamen?" Baili looked enviously at Shen Luo. In the yamen, that's what you say.

The two were in the private room on the second floor of Songhe Tower. As soon as they entered, Shen Luo saw that the left prime minister, Bailiyu, was already there.

"Lord Zuoxiang, I didn't expect you to be here, Songran and you too. I didn't say it earlier, I just came here earlier." Shen Luo smiled and blamed Songran.

"It's okay, I just arrived too, Mr. Shen, please sit down!" Bailiyu said with a smile.

Shen Luo sat down with him.

"You and Songran are friends, so I'll call you Aluo, so as not to cause trouble." Bailiyu said.

"Left Prime Minister, you're being polite. I'm a junior, so I'm naturally happy."

"You, Xiaoran, Yunmo, and Songran all had a good time. Before the disaster relief, you secretly helped Songran a lot. Speaking of which, the three of them, plus Xiaoran's older brother Yueran, are all good. " Bailiyu said: "My son is relaxed, but he is inexperienced, but you know how he is, he is smart."

"Song Ran is a straightforward person, and he is a friend worth making." Shen Luo affirmed.

"Yes, yes!" Bailiyu smiled: "You are all of the same age, so you should help each other. To be honest, I invited you here today because I want to discuss something with you."

"Left minister, please tell me." Shen Luo said.

"I heard that you plan to rebuild Nancheng?" Bailiyu said directly.

"Yes, there is indeed a plan."

"How's the money going now?" Bailiyu asked.

"There is still a lot of difference. I plan to take out my savings. This is a long-term income." Shen Luo said.

"The water flows forever?" Bailiyu smiled.

"Correct!"

"How about this, money, our Baili's family will give 10 taels. I think you can take Songran to do this together and give him a chance to practice and make meritorious deeds. He is also willing to work with you." Baili Yu said.

"Okay!" Shen Luo was overjoyed, this is a good thing to get money and people, he didn't expect Bailiyu to be so happy: "Songran has a good relationship with the merchants of the imperial capital, and he communicates on behalf of the yamen of the imperial capital. , I'm afraid it's much stronger than me."

Bailiyu nodded. From the last time Shen Luo recommended his son to preside over the auction, he knew that Shen Luo was a man who knew how to give full play to his talents.

Although his son succumbed, everything must be done step by step.

Today, Bailiyu is better than a person who can bend and stretch.

"Then I won't be polite." Shen Luo raised his glass: "Song Ran, let's do something big in the imperial capital together."

Baili Song laughed heartily, he knew that Shen Luo was happy, and it was unlikely that he would reject him, but he never thought that he would accept him directly like this.

"You are the sixth rank in the Salt Tax Department, so you will come directly to the imperial capital's household office to serve as the deputy chief envoy. You will be the second rank first, and when the Nancheng is settled, you will come to the main town's yamen and serve as my chief envoy. "Shen Luo's words made Bailiyu even more satisfied.

Without the knowledge of many people, Shen Luo's pace has already set off without hesitation.

"He left Baili Songran?" Emperor Qianyuan laughed.

Guowei was also surprised: "This kid, I don't know what he's thinking. Recently, he promoted a scholar to the seventh-rank official position. It seems that he has an idea!"

"Hmph!" Emperor Qianyuan was smiling when the palace servants came to report that Shen Luo had arrived.

"Yes, the monkey boy is here, let's see what he thinks!" Emperor Qianyuan smiled and stroked his beard.

"Borrow money?" Guowei stared at Shen Luo dumbfounded. Shen Luo was holding a painting tube. Emperor Qianyuan thought he was here to mortgage the ancient paintings.

"Well, to borrow money, ask the emperor to borrow money." Shen Luo looked at Emperor Qianyuan and smiled.

Emperor Qianyuan clicked his tongue: "You really surprised us, you really called 'a gentleman loves money in a proper way', and you borrowed it from me. Tell me, how much do you want to borrow, whether to buy a shop or a Zhuangzi."

Shen Luo stretched out a finger: "Not much, one million taels."

"Oh, one million, two?" Emperor Qianyuan looked at him: "Are you going to buy Da Nei?"

"I'm going to buy Nancheng." Shen Luo handed the memorial and painting tube to Emperor Qianyuan.

Guowei couldn't help standing up: "You boy, you want 100 million taels, you want to rebel?"

As he spoke, he opened the painting tube: "Nancheng Reconstruction Plan? Hiss, you want to renovate Nancheng?"

After reading the memorial, Emperor Qianyuan glanced at Bai Chenluo: "One million taels, is it enough for you to transform Nancheng?"

"Not enough!" Shen Luo shook his head like a cattail fan: "My family received a gift of 20 yuan, and I'm going to take it out. I calculated that 200 taels is enough."

"Hmph, tell me, how much will you lend you the Bailiyu?" Emperor Qianyuan laughed.

"10 taels, I'm going to ask Prince Qi to borrow 10 taels. If the husband has more money, I can also borrow 10 taels from the students!" Shen Luo looked at Guowei and laughed.

"Hmph!" Guowei said angrily, "I really didn't realize that you counted us all in, you call it killing the familiar but not the living!"

"Benefiting the people and collecting rent, it is beneficial to the country and the people." Shen Luo said: "Sir, didn't you remind me of the mistakes made by the previous three? Of course I have to overcome them one by one!"

"What does the emperor think?" Guowei looked at Emperor Qianyuan.

"Borrowed, who are you planning to borrow from?" Emperor Qianyuan looked at Shen Luo, and found that the child was much more lively when he became a governor.

"Well, Mr. Tongge and I have a good relationship. It's no problem to borrow [-]. Let's see how Qian's family is doing. Let's borrow [-]. Then there are King Yue and King De. I'm embarrassed to ask. What if the emperor can?"

"Don't talk about it, what if you lose all your money!" Emperor Qianyuan was annoyed and funny, why didn't he discover Shen Luo's rascal side.
