The scumbag son-in-law dressed as a husband

Every spring and summer, the silt deposits in the lower reaches of the Yellow River increase, and the river conditions this year are also more serious than usual, with many floods along the way.

The nearby people had to leave their homes and migrate to other places.

However, due to various factors of the times and the absence of government organizations, most of them are disorderly, so they are more difficult and miserable.

Supporting the old and bringing the young, fleeing famine for food, entering the common people, and leaving every household.

Xie Shu had never seen such a scene before, and seeing it now, Fang Zhishu couldn't remember one or two of them.

In the middle of the journey, the speed of the carriage slowed down. Suddenly, an old man stumbled and knelt down. There were several ragged children behind him. eat some..."

Naturally, the old man didn't know Xie Shu's identity. He just saw Xie Shu's group of people riding chariots and horses. He must be a wealthy family, so just try it.

And kneeling like this, many refugees around looked over, with eager expressions on their faces.

Xie Shu looked heavy, and Yu Chu who was beside him sighed and shook his head slightly at him.

Xie Shu understood what Lang Jun meant. If the carriage really stopped at this moment, the refugees next to him would surely rush forward. The property is still a trivial matter, and I'm afraid it will delay time. The best way now is to hurry to the Hedu Mansion.

Controlling the river situation as soon as possible is the only way to solve the root cause.

only......

Yu Chuxi smiled slightly at this time. He liked Xie Shu just because of this, so he listened to Xie Shu. After listening, Xie Shu's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.Not long after, the two finalized the decision to let Feng He and Xi Mo lead people to stay, and they went to Hedu Mansion first with Mu Wen and other guards.

The wheels moved forward again, Xie Shu looked back, the refugees were like the Yellow River as high as the sky, with no end in sight.

The Canal Governor's Mansion is located in Jiangpu City, at the intersection of the Yellow River, the Huaihe River, and the Canal. This is where Xie Shu will go.

Not long ago, I heard that the newly appointed Governor of the Yellow River is only 25 years old and has never been a Hanlin scholar in river transportation before. Several officials in the River Governor's Mansion were heartbroken.

Since ancient times, the Yellow River has been difficult to govern, and officials have always regarded the post of "river governor" as a daunting way, and often the ending is not very good.

Generally speaking, if nothing happens during the few years in office, it is considered extremely lucky. In the future, the relationship will be established and there will be a chance of transfer.

And once something happens, it is easy to say that he will be convicted and imprisoned. If he is not careful, it is not uncommon to be buried in the Yellow River.

As soon as everyone heard that Xie Shu was so young, he was sent here. Presumably there was no one behind him, and it would be difficult to transfer back in the future.

That is to say, Xie Shu has neither ability nor background, and these river workers who usually do practical things are not convinced. Therefore, when Xie Shu came to Ren Hedu's mansion, not all the people came to greet him.

Xie Shu glanced roughly, and asked who and what position the people who were not present were.

Vice President He is 40 years old. Long-term exposure to the sun has made his forehead more deeply wrinkled than his peers. He had inquired about Xie Shu's origin a few days ago.

Hearing that Xie Shu was quite famous in the imperial court, he was the champion of the three consecutive awards, and seeing that he was not bad in appearance, demeanor and coercion, the vice president He couldn't figure out his temperament, and was afraid that Xie Shu would blame him, so he hurriedly explained After a while, several people had no leisure on the river bank.

Xie Shu was not angry, and while looking at the water conservancy river map, asked about the current state of the river along the way.

Seeing Xie Shu's question, Vice President He said unambiguously: "Reporting to Governor He, this year's spring floods are ahead of schedule. Since spring, three river mouths have burst their embankments. These days, my subordinates have led migrant workers to dredge the downstream, and they can barely handle it. "

Vice President He observed Xie Shu's expression while talking. He took the position of Vice President He step by step from the river worker. Although he doesn't often go to the river to deal with disasters in person, his experience and ability are not comparable to the young man in front of him. of.And he knew that the river workers were not only afraid of worsening the danger, but also afraid of laymen's finger pointing, so they deliberately said something serious. After hearing this, Xie Shu naturally didn't dare to do whatever he wanted, and they also had greater autonomy.

Unexpectedly, Xie Shu didn't rush, and continued to ask: "Where are the three estuaries where the embankment broke? How many migrant workers can be mobilized around? Can the nearby residents be settled properly?"

Seeing that Xie Shu asked about the key points, Vice President He felt a chill in his heart, but he really didn't have much awe for the young officer, but Nuonuo replied: "The places where the embankment broke are Gaojiayan. , Xujiakou, and Qufu Township, there are about [-] migrant workers, which is less than in previous years. As for the resettlement of residents, the local officials are in charge, and other subordinates are not clear."

Xie Shu's face turned cold and said: "I have been walking along the way, and I have seen many homeless people and people displaced. If you are doing river affairs, you can ignore the people? Since there are not enough migrant workers, why don't you solve it properly? , One-third of the wealth is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and you can’t afford anything if you lose the river! You said that the three places where the embankment broke, I can see clearly more than one, so bold and deceitful, do you know What are the consequences?"

Vice President He couldn't help feeling panic when he heard the words, but he was still unconvinced, and blushed and said, "Master Hedu is new here, and there are some things that you don't know. Take the refugees as an example. Twelve villages were destroyed, we sent people to resettle them, and then thousands of refugees were attracted, and the plague followed. In the end, even the migrant workers were unable to go to the embankment. Why did we not want to do something to benefit the people? It’s just that the disaster relief money issued by the imperial court is limited every year, and it will cost hundreds of thousands of silver to build a dam, and the wages of migrant workers have to be paid, and my lord comes from a rich background, so I don’t know what our embarrassment is.”

Xie Shu had no expression on his face, but he was certain in his heart that the vice president He was a person who did practical things, not a pawn of the family, and he thought it was true. The official position in He Du's mansion is both hard and easy to suffer, so inserting people here Not any good.

Because of this, Xie Shu also knew that it would be extremely difficult to get this person to be used by him without spending a lot of effort, so Xie Shu still said coldly: "I know that the river workers work hard, but how innocent are the people? I saw several dikes and dams built, some of which were abandoned due to the diversion of the river course, and some of which could not withstand the scouring of the river for several days. You said that everyone did their best, but I don’t think so. , although the effect is quick, it treats the symptoms but not the root cause. This is an act of prevaricating the people and the court, so how can it be regarded as serving the country and the people?"

Vice President He looked at him in astonishment. The words Xie Shu said were indeed the root of the disease. As an old official who governed the river, he still had a sense of a friend, but seeing that Xie Shu was young after all, and had never really been on the embankment, even if he had some Opinions must only be read from books, or expert advice.

After all, he was worried about Xie Shu's official position, so the vice president He had no choice but to suppress his temper and said: "Then what is the opinion of Master He?"

Xie Shu said lightly: "Build water on the embankment, and wash the sand with water."

Vice President He's eyes jumped suddenly, and he looked at Xie Shu. These eight words were so familiar to him.

Three years ago, His Majesty issued an imperial decree, asking them to follow these eight words, but although this river control technique is indeed many times better, there is no precedent, and even if you want to follow this technique, you need to be cautious at all times.Therefore, the former River Governor did not study hard here, only he took painstaking efforts to find out that this river control method was originally given by a scholar when His Majesty visited Jinling in the south.

But at this time, looking at Xie Shu again, and thinking of his background, Vice President He couldn't understand that Xie Shu was the scholar back then, and now the Governor of He sent by His Majesty.

Vice President He thought of this, and excitedly said: "My lord, look, where should we start?"

Xie Shu said sternly: "First recruit talents, whether they understand drawing, tabulation or astronomy, they will all be recruited, and resettlement of refugees is essential. In the future, it will be impossible to build embankments and plant trees without manpower."

The vice president, however, was in a bit of a dilemma. The affairs of the river are difficult and dangerous, and it is hard to get back. This is the reason. The former is easy to say, but the difficulties in the latter are hard to describe...

Vice President He didn't agree, but gritted his teeth and said: "The humble official is willing to do his best, but the refugees..."

Xie Shu stared at him and said with a smile: "I have already made a plan for this matter, the vice president He need not worry, now there is an urgent need to control the river, His Majesty's Sacred Heart has made up his mind, that's why he sent me here.

But the river course has been out of order for a long time, if you don't pay attention, you will miss your fortune, does the vice president, He, have the determination, and is willing to take on this important task with me, and create such an unworldly feat in the future? "

Hearing this, Vice President He's heart felt hot, not only because he was moved by Xie Shu's words, but also because of the prospect Xie Shu said, if His Majesty really has the heart, then maybe this matter can really come true.

Vice President He said in a trembling voice: "My lord, I would like to accompany you to the bank of the river, and I will die after death!"

A few days later, it was reported that a new porridge shop had been established outside Jiangpu City, and the porridge shop had the surname Yu, but in Jiangpu City, I had never heard of the rich family's Yu surname, only that the richest man in Jiangnan was a surname.However, since someone gave porridge, the refugees were moved by the news. In just half a month, almost all the refugees in the vicinity rushed here.

The owner of this porridge shop is also very kind, and sent a medical officer to examine each person. Once they pass the test, they can enter the city to register. Not only that, they can also be hired by the government as migrant workers, and their future livelihood will be assured.

Only then did everyone know the reason behind it. It turned out that the river governor who was sent to control the river this time was called Xie Shu, and he joined Zhuyu's family in his early years. Needless to say, everyone could guess that the owner of the porridge shop was his husband. Yu Chuxi.

Time flies, time flies like an arrow, and the days pass by in a flash.

In the past three years, Xie Shu has brought all the river workers from the River Governor's Mansion back and forth on the rolling Yellow River, and the number of migrant workers who accompanied him has increased to about 4.

Since he was ordered, the money allocated by the household department has been the same as in previous years, because in the past three years, Xie Shu has not had any major problems in governance, so he has never been embarrassing, but now it is far from enough.

Therefore, Xie Shu has written a lot of petition posts to Emperor Qing during these days. He will post the local rain conditions, river conditions, and manpower status almost every other month. Xie Shu didn't care whether Emperor Qing replied or not.

However, this was not a useless effort. This year, Emperor Qing asked the Ministry of Households to allocate an extra one million taels of silver, and according to Xie Shu's plan, he successively delivered all the trees that Xie Shu wanted.In the past three years, Xie Shu led people to strengthen the embankment and draw water, and finally achieved results.

When the rainy season came this year, no dam has yet breached.

Xie Shu stood on the newly built embankment, the soil under his feet had already been half-dried by the scorching summer sun, but when the heavy rain came last night, the hem of his lower body was splashed with mud again. Find out what color clothes he was wearing before he came.

Three years have passed, Xie Shu's facial features have become mature under successive years of wind and rain, and they no longer have the scorching and glaring feeling at the beginning. Instead, they are calm and gentle, like a fine jade, absorbing all the light from the whole body. bundled.

Standing next to him, Vice President He looked at the surging water of the Taotao River under his feet. He was still a little worried, but he didn't dare to persuade him.

In the past few years, he followed Xie Shu's side, deeply admired Xie Shu's talent and ability, and also found out his temperament, and knew the officer's usual behavior style.

Xie Shu has a gentle personality, but he is also resolute. He often handles things after careful consideration, but at the same time he acts vigorously and resolutely.

During this period of time, although Vice President He was busy with the river situation, he also knew that the wind and rain in the court was no less severe than here. He must have waited for the river transportation, and Xie Shu was about to return to Beijing. If Xie Shu wanted to go up, he could I don't know where to go...

Before Vice President He could think too much, at this moment, there was an unusual commotion from behind him.

It turned out that it was almost noon, and today was the day to check the condition of the new embankment, so the food delivery was brought forward to celebrate.

The people who came were not only the people of Jiangpu City, but also Xie Shu's husband Lang Yu Chuxi.

If the people in the entire Jiangnan river area are most grateful to anyone, except for the governor of the river, Xie Shu, it is undoubtedly Yu Chuxi.

If it weren't for Yu Chuxi's porridge relief and the establishment of various shops in the local area, those refugees would not have settled down so quickly. Now the development of Jiangpu City has come from behind, and it has already ranked among the best in the Jiangnan area.

When Xie Shu saw Yu Chuxi, even though he had honed his quiet temperament in the past few years, he couldn't help but feel happy at this moment. He walked quickly to Yu Chuxi, but he remembered something and stopped in his tracks.

In the past, when he came home, he would take off his coat so as not to make the house dirty, how could he have the nerve to touch Lang Jun now?

Yu Chuxi couldn't help smiling, and held his broad, rough palm with a smile.

Under the sleeves, the two people clasped their fingers tightly. When they looked at each other, there was only tenderness that they knew each other.

In the ten years of Tai'an, Xie Shu served as the governor of the river for three years.

From the east of Zhengzhou to the west of Jiangsu, the Qianli Zeguo, which has been flooding every year, has finally been contained in the front line. From the source of the Yellow River to the mouth of Jiangpu, the banks of the embankments are planted.The clogged estuary is gradually being cleared, and the planned dams are being completed on schedule.

Thousands of hectares of fertile soil were exposed in the lower reaches that were submerged in previous years, and the people were able to live in peace. In the past hundred years, it is rare to see the Yellow River raging again.

Since then, Xie Shu's reputation has been widely praised in Jiangnan.

At the end of the year, Xie Shu was recorded when the Ministry of Officials assessed his merits. Qing Emperor Long Yan Dayue wrote in the imperial pen Zhu Zhu: Xie Shu has a good way of governing the river, has made great achievements for hundreds of generations, was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and will return to Beijing soon.

At this time, Xie Shu was only 28 years old this year, and when Lu Shuo was 28 years old, although he was also Ziwei Ling who was also the second rank, there was a big difference between the two.The minister of the Ministry of Industry is the real power, and it is no small matter to be in charge of the Ministry of Industry, one of the six ministries.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country was shocked.
