Chapter 125 Senior Brother Really Knows Time Management
"Mingfu forgot, the last time I went to Yunshui Pavilion for dinner, you said that there are still many homeless and disabled people in Longcheng, the Beitian Ji Nursing Home needs to be expanded, and the county government needs to give more support.

"A few days ago, the Ming government raised funds for Zheyiqu and Digongzha. The county government household Cao had a lot of money in his treasury, so he took out a hundred yuan of money and worked with Donglin Temple to rebuild the Beitian Jiyangyuan. After repairing it, it was expanded and a lot of houses were added."

Faced with the young county magistrate who is too forgetful, Yan Liulang, who runs around and up and down these days, has a little sad eyes.

It's really the above sentence, but the next one will break your leg... In other words, the Ming Mansion probably didn't mention it casually that day.

Yan Liulang couldn't help asking:
"The last repair was in the first year of Jiushi. With the manpower of the county government, the work was just completed yesterday. Master Shandao would like to invite you to inspect the Xincheng Nursing Home some other day and give some valuable suggestions. The Ming government does not know if there is any. No time."

"Of course there is time."

Ouyang Rong closed the document again, handed it to the little junior sister who was sorting out the documents, and said with a smile:

"No wonder I haven't seen you in the past few days, um, Liu Lang is very effective this time, and he finished the job without making a sound, with some charm of the speed of soldiers, not bad.

"Of course I have to go for a walk, Liu Lang can arrange the schedule."

"Okay." Yan Liulang lifted his spirits.

Ouyang Rong smiled and took into account the reaction of his subordinates.

Last time in Yunshui Pavilion, he helped a few beggars in the alley outside the back door of the back kitchen, and there was a handicapped person inside.

At that time, Ouyang Rong thought of the mute girl with severed fingers and old man Qiu Qiu from the Pure Earth Palace, so he ordered Yan Liulang to ask the county government to subsidize Xiabeitian Jiyangyuan.

I didn't mention it until later, because I wanted to wait for Zheyiqu and Digong Gate to be repaired, and then spare extra energy to deal with these good things for the people's livelihood before leaving.

But he didn't expect Liu Lang to keep his words in his heart and finish the work without disturbing Ouyang Rong.

Regardless of whether Liulang, the officials of the county government, and Master Shandao of Donglin Temple are trying to please him, the county magistrate, but this subjective initiative is still worthy of praise, and it also means that the officials of the county government can actually do things, provided that there is a A Shangguan with clear rewards and punishments and no distinction between merit and demerit.

Therefore, even before the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Ouyang Rong didn't really want to walk around and startle the snake.

But this time he had to take the time to go there anyway, to show that, after all, leading the team, the most important thing is that the hearts of the people below are not scattered.

In addition, Ouyang Rong personally still has a little selfishness.

Beitian Jiyangyuan in Donglin Temple was the first place he set foot after leaving Pure Land Palace.

I don't know the master, the dumb girl with severed fingers, and old Taoist Qiu Qiu are all there.

This time, if I have the chance, I can visit them...

The young magistrate said in his heart.

On the other side, Yan Liulang walked briskly, stepped out of the threshold, opened an umbrella and prepared to go to the clerk's office to arrange the itinerary of the Ming Palace.

"Wait."

In the dark lobby on a rainy day, Ouyang Rong read the second document by the skylight by the eaves of the dripping rain, and suddenly called out to catch the head in blue.

He glanced through the documents sent by Jiangzhou, and asked without raising his head:

"Master Shen and Lord Wang, will they arrive at Dragon City around noon on the [-]th?"

"Yes."

Yan Liulang nodded:

"Arrangements have been made for Diao County Chancellor and the chief officials of the Governor's Mansion to take over. At noon on the [-]th, the Ming Mansion went to Shiliting outside the city to pick up the Jiangzhou Shangguans in person, and went directly to the Yuenv Gorge by boat at Penglangdu. , to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Di Gong Gate in the afternoon."

"Pick up at noon, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony in the afternoon..." Ouyang Rong thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Then Liulang, go and inform them to make arrangements. The official's inspection itinerary to Beitian Ji Nursing Home will be scheduled on the fifteenth day." It's morning.

"It just so happens that Shili Pavilion on the outskirts of the city is not too far from Dagu Mountain, just a few steps away."

Yan Liulang outside the door didn't think much, nodded, cupped his hands and said:
"Okay, Mingfu, I'll go to inform the scribe's office, and by the way, there's also Donglin Temple, I have to make arrangements then."

Wait for the head catcher in blue to leave.

Ouyang Rong turned his head.

He smiled at a red-clothed female master who had been tidying up the table for a long time and seemed to be getting more and more messy:

"Junior Sister, just drop in. Let's go to the Donglin Temple Fair early in the morning on the [-]th. After asking for a lottery for the little sister of the Su family, let's go to the Beitian Jiyangyuan. You haven't been there yet...

"Well, if we go early in the morning, we can still catch up with a fast meal at the morning fasting courtyard of Donglin Temple. I haven't eaten pickled radish for a long time, but I really miss it."

Xie Lingjiang, who was bowing his head, glanced at the elder brother who seemed to be happy.

She bit her lower lip lightly, and said in praise:
"Senior brother really knows how to manage time, the schedule is not delayed at all, and all are used."

Ouyang Rong didn't notice the expression of the woman behind him,
"Where."

He looked up with his hands behind his back, looking at the rain curtain outside the lobby, seemed to be in a good mood, and smiled modestly.

When Xie Lingjiang saw this, his chest was not too tight when he went out today, and there was a sudden ups and downs.

She couldn't help it, and asked with a sour mouth:
"So accompanying my junior sister to Donglin Temple to ask for a lottery is just incidental, and it's mainly about business, right senior brother?"

As soon as this sentence was said, Xie Lingjiang felt a little regretful.

That is to say introspection, I feel that talking like this is a bit too petty, and it does not conform to the upbringing of the noble daughter of the five surnames and Xie's family tradition.

On the other hand, the rational side feels that the senior brother is the magistrate of a county, and it is normal for her to focus on official business, and she should be happy and supportive. What the hell is this arrogant tone.

But just for a moment, I couldn't control my mouth, and the words fell out like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

I want to see a man's caring reaction immediately.

Not to blame Xie Lingjiang.

If the relationship between men and women can always remain absolutely rational, then what is God going to do to give the world people emotional and emotional brains.

Seeing that the senior brother looked back in a daze, Xie Lingjiang hurriedly added:

"You're joking, senior brother, don't take it seriously. Senior brother arranges his schedule very well, which saves trouble. Junior sisters are fine."

Ouyang Rong looked at Xie Ling's slightly cold face.

There was a little suspicion in his eyes:

"Junior Sister, this time Donglin Temple is asking for a lottery, did you arrange something else and didn't tell me?"

Xie Ling, Jiang Fang's heart suddenly slammed like a deer, but her expression was well hidden, and she snorted softly:
"Nothing. Senior brother was very busy on the fifteenth day, so I wouldn't bother him with other things."

Ouyang Rong looked at her for a while, until the latter looked up angrily and stared back, then he said slowly:
"I understand."

Xie Lingjiang's heart was clenched tightly, and the eyes that stared at him weakened, like a proud white swan that has turned its head into cowardice.

"Junior Sister is not asking for a lottery for the younger sister of the Su family, she clearly wants to bring her along."

Ouyang Rong smiled lightly, looking as if he was holding a pearl of wisdom:

"The schedule is all arranged now, but when the morning of the [-]th, or the next night, the junior sister will tell me 'temporarily' that the younger sister of the Su family has time to go out, so take her and go with me What kind of marriage lottery do you ask for at the temple fair of Donglin Temple...

"Junior Sister, right?"

"..." Xie Lingjiang.

"Hmm. Junior sister didn't speak, she was guessed, right? Well, it turned out to be so..." Ouyang Rong sighed.

Looking at the senior brother's helpless expression that I guessed so, can we change the routine.

Xie Lingjiang suddenly wanted to beat someone up.

Without him, my hands are itchy, my brother owes Bian Er.

Ouyang Rong didn't realize the warning note with the word "dangerous" faintly hanging on his forehead.

He still shook his head and sighed:
"Junior Sister, this doesn't look like your style, is it Auntie's idea..."

"Brother knows the little sister of the Su family?"

"I don't know." Ouyang Rong shook his head.

Don't know, but have seen.

Xie Lingjiang didn't ask any further questions, but said in a bad mood:
"Brother, if you know him, you will know how bizarre this idea is."

Then without waiting for Ouyang Rong to ask again, she puffed up her mouth slightly and said:

"The little sister of the Su family won't come, just the two of us... I'm just asking for a lottery for the little sister of the Su family, maybe... I'll ask for one for myself as a fun.

"As for the senior brother, if you want to ask for a lottery, you can ask for it, if you don't want to ask for it, you can pull it down, that's it... the table is cleared, senior brother, let's go to work, I... I will go out to catch my breath."

Ouyang Rong was startled, looking at the figure of the little junior sister with a straight back like a swan.

"Junior Sister, what kind of gunpowder did you take?"

Ouyang Rong wandered around the table in the lobby, thought for a while, and was about to go out to coax his junior sister, when Liu Ashan appeared at the door.

"Master, Miss Xie, this is..."

Liu Ashan at the door put down his umbrella, looked back at the figure passing by on the corridor behind him, and asked curiously.

"It's okay, she may not be feeling well these days."

Ouyang Rong shook his sleeves, turned his head and saw the rare happy expression of the dull man who entered the door, and asked curiously:

"What happy event?"

"Master, the first phase of Zhanyi Canal has been completed today!"

Ouyang Rong's face turned happy.

……

Songlin Ferry is located on the outskirts of the city, not far from Dagu Mountain.

It is the end point of Zhayiqu water conservancy project.

The river of Butterfly Creek pours down from the upper reaches, and after passing through the winding river course in the county town including the West Bank Jianpu, it turns straight here.

After passing Songlindu, there are natural straight rivers behind, and the river rushes into the Yangtze River.

Because of this, it is in the planning of the sand table of the Longcheng County Government.

Zheyi Canal starts from Yedu Wharf in Shaojia Village in the south and ends at Songlindu in the north.

It is as if a relatively straight horizontal line has been drawn on the earth, connecting the two points.

If the original Butterfly Creek was shaped like a "ji", then the Butterfly Creek after the Zhayi Canal is completed is similar to a "convex" shape, and the extra bottom horizontal line at the bottom is the Zhayi Canal.

Now, this "convex" improved version of Butterfly Creek is finally ready!
Early the next morning, the rain stopped and the soil was wet.

Ouyang Rong took his younger junior sister, Liu Ashan and his party to feel Songlindu, which used to be a wild ferry with few people, but now it is bustling because of the construction of Zhanyi Canal.

"Mingfu, be careful of the mud."

"Nothing, I will come by myself."

Ouyang Rong twisted up the corner of his robe, rolled up his trousers, walked across a muddy field, and led the crowd to a high slope next to Songlin Ferry.

In recent days, although Ouyang Rong has been busy with his junior sister and Diao Xiancheng at Di Gongzha.

But Zheyiqu's progress did not slow down. On the contrary, with the blessing of the thousands of taels of silver donated by Liu's forced bloodletting, it became even stronger.

Now, with some pleasant surprise, they roughly cut through the first phase of the river channel before the completion of the Digong Gate, and outlined its outline and width.

Obstacles such as rocks, field ridges, grass and trees between Songlin Ferry and Ye Ferry in Shaojia Village have been cleaned up.

Compared with the exquisite and orderly Digong gate, the folded wing canal excavated purely by manpower is truly magnificent.

Looking from a high place, it gives people a momentum and association that both mountains and seas can be moved.

This is a miracle that laborers can create with their own hands. Ouyang Rong suddenly understood those ancient projects that were lauded in the history books of his previous life. Living on this land is a nation that has passed down the story of Yugong Yishan from generation to generation.

"It's kind of beautiful."

The young county magistrate turned his back to the crowd, stood at the front of the hillside, looked at the endless river in front of him, and couldn't help muttering.

Next to Liu Ashan, Chief Cao, the county government worker in charge of digging the canal, asked respectfully:
"Master Mingfu, the first phase of Zhayi Canal has been dug, shall we continue with the second phase now, the last phase may take several times longer than the first phase..."

"Pause first, don't dig anymore."

Ouyang Rong suddenly turned his head and gave serious instructions:
"You go back and estimate the time of the second period, report it in the next few days, and then you can take everyone to rest for a few days."

"Yes, my lord."

Out of the corner of his eye, Ouyang Rong caught a glimpse of a thick water-retaining wall at the end of the newly dug river beside the Songlin Ferry in front of him.

The Broken Wing Canal is not connected to water, because the second phase of excavation may be carried out, and it is better not to pass water if it is not necessary.

The thick walls at both ends of the new canal to block the water of the old river were also suggested by Ouyang Rong at first.

Ouyang Rong pointed to the thick wall in the distance and said:
"Is this wall strong? Will it collapse after half of the repair?"

Chief Gongcao patted his chest confidently:

"Don't worry, Master Mingfu, we are here every day, and we will take good care of it. You see, the treatment method of this thick wall is also quite delicate, so I have to tell you well... Normally, it is very strong, and it is almost indestructible. Something went wrong..."

Seeing that Shangguan was listening curiously, he continued to explain:

"However, if Master Mingfu needs to open the Folded Wing Canal in a hurry, we can also subtly knock it down in a short period of time and let the river water from the old channel pour in. Whether it will be opened or not is up to Master Mingfu's will."

"So good."

Afterwards, Ouyang Rong asked a few more questions with great interest and got to know him a little while later, Chief Gongcao temporarily resigned.

There are only Liu Ashan and his junior sister and other cronies by his side.

Ouyang Rong pondered for a moment, then turned his head and ordered:

"Ashan, pass on my order. From now on, until the second phase of Zheyi Canal starts construction next time, no workers or common people are allowed to stay on this new river channel from Songlindu to Shaojia Village Yedu. Along the way you send people Be on your guard."

"Got it, Mingfu."

Ouyang Rong nodded, looking into the distance, his eyes pensive.

It is now at the end of the rainy season, and the upper and lower reaches of Longcheng County are raining continuously.

The Shuize stele shows that the water level of Yunmeng Ze is rising every day.

Ouyang Rong was quite worried.

Not only worried about the past few days, before the Digong gate was completed, Yunmengze suddenly burst into floods like cramps.

He is still preparing for the ribbon-cutting ceremony in a few days.

There may still be variables in Di Gongzha.

Although he has seen through Liu's plan to blow up the gate, he has roughly arranged the corresponding plan for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

But what if the Liu family dog ​​jumps over the wall in a hurry and an unexpected accident happens, causing the Di Gong gate to collapse, then the situation will be bad.

Therefore, Ouyang Rong didn't ask the county government worker Cao's staff to start the construction of the second phase immediately, and ordered Liu Ashan to send people to guard along the Xinhe Road.

When an accident occurs at the Digong Gate, the Zhayi Canal will be the last water conservancy construction in Longcheng County. Although it is not a complete Zhayi Canal, it is better than nothing.

In addition, he has been a little restless recently, for some reason.

It's better to be more cautious... Ouyang Rong sighed softly.
