Chapter 107

Li Zheng saw that these juniors did not obey orders, and felt that he had lost face in front of the Shangguan.It is necessary to beat people.

Seeing that Li Zheng was so arrogant, Zhang Zongxian was very unhappy, and immediately stopped Li Zheng.

"Stop it, you dare to beat the people in the presence of this official, and you don't know how to bully the people on weekdays."

Hearing Zhang Zongxian's words there, he quickly knelt on the ground in fright.

Zhang Zongxian ignored Li Zheng who was kneeling on the ground, but walked up to several young people and said:

"I'm the new magistrate. I asked Lizheng to organize everyone to dredge the canals. It's already May. If you don't water the wheat, it will be too late. Can you irrigate an acre of land a day by carrying water on your shoulders? Everyone Qi Xin dredged the canal so that there is a steady stream of water to irrigate the wheat."

After saying that, someone bowed his head and said:

"This canal is dredged, and it's for those big households, the land of Lizheng's family is dredged, and our poor people's land in the original land can't use this river water."

Immediately there will be yamen servants who want to arrest the young man who speaks.Zhang Zongxian stopped the yamen servant first.Patiently said to the group of young people:
"Blind date, everyone, I will not leave today, and I will dredge the canal together with everyone. As for how to water the land on the plain, I have ordered people to build an overturned cart, and then use the overturned cart to lift water on the original. It's just that the overturned cart still needs to be drained." Time to build.

But once the canals are dredged, you don't have to go to the river to fetch water, you can do it at the entrance of the village.It still saves everyone effort. "

After speaking, he took off his official uniform and hat, only wore his middle coat, rolled up his sleeves, and picked up a wooden shovel from the side to start working.

Everyone saw that Master Zhizhou had started to work, and they all went down to the canal to work.Those younger students also put down their shoulder poles and started to work.

Zhang Zongxian is not used to this wooden shovel at all, it is very laborious to use.I sigh that it has been more than 2000 years since the Iron Age, and the common people still cannot afford iron farm tools.

Turn back and ask Taiping to bring more iron farm tools to the people.Place more orders for those workshops.

There are many people and strength, and with the mobilization of all villages, the canals have been dredged in the afternoon.As long as the big water truck on the other side of the river is installed, there will be a steady stream of river water flowing over.

After dredging the canal, Zhang Zongxian said to the people present:
"The canal has been dredged today. I will go back and supervise the construction of water trucks. When the water flows, I will overturn the trucks. I will definitely water the people's land."

The work in Zhizhou has already had a great impact on the local people, and now the master of Zhizhou promises to water their land.First, those younger generations knelt down to thank Master Zhizhou, and then all the people present also knelt down to thank Master Zhizhou.

Zhang Zongxian did not help the people kneeling on the ground, but got up on his horse and quickly returned to the county.

When I got back to the county seat, I immediately called the head of the workshop and asked him how the carpenter convened.Has the big waterwheel been built yet?

The owner of the workshop has been working on road repairs, thinking of finishing the road section surrounded by him as soon as possible so that he can get his wages sooner.He didn't take Zhang Zongxian's order to heart at all.Neither surveyed the canals, nor summoned carpenters to build waterwheels.

Now that Zhang Zongxian asked, he could only shirk today's affairs and think about calling the carpenter tomorrow.

Zhang Zongxian sneered at the owner of the workshop, I dug mud all afternoon today to fight the drought, and I asked you to do something, but I still shirked it.Don't you know that those officials in Qingjian County call Lao Tzu Huo Yan Wang?

It seems that if you don't show off your majesty, you won't work hard for me.

Then he ordered everyone working in the yamen to come over.In particular, all the officials in the workshop must come.

After these officials arrived, Zhang Zongxian asked the officials in the workshop to come out, and when they came out, he said to them:
"Presumably you also know that the Ming Dynasty punished officials with consecutive sittings, and if they knew about it, they would be guilty of the same crime as the criminals. Those who caused the government's deficit must be compensated. If it cannot be made up, your children and grandchildren will continue to make up until it is "completely compensated."

You are all from the workshop, now I will give you a chance."

Then he pointed to the head of the workshop standing in the middle of the lobby.

The master of the workshop looked at the two subordinates in despair, and the two glanced at each other, and one of the officials reacted the fastest.Immediately shouted:
"Master, I want to report that the owner of the house colluded with profiteers to repair the Confucian Temple last year and shoddy it. Use rotten wood instead of good wood to repair the Confucian Temple."

Seeing that his colleague had taken the lead, another official also hurriedly shouted:

"The young master also reported it, and he was also the owner of the house. Every time the county repaired buildings, he falsely reported the excess bricks, stones and wood. The falsely reported bricks, stones and wood were all taken home by him to build a big house for himself."

The owner of the workshop was also anxious.While shouting for injustice, he angrily reprimanded his subordinates.

"Master, you are so wronged! They are the ones who falsely accused you. I am not mean to you two on weekdays! Why do you want to falsely accuse me?"

The official who reported it first retorted to the chief:

"I don't have much food and salary for officials, and you still ask for filial piety from me on weekdays. When did you treat me sincerely?"

"You~ You are talking nonsense. The master is wronged! The master is really wronged! They all falsely accused us."

Zhang Zongxian watched the three of them accuse and abuse each other, and felt that the person who made the Great Ming Law on the spot was very powerful!It was sitting up and down and the whistleblowers were not prosecuted. In the end, the stolen goods were all chased by the children and grandchildren.If there were these regulations in the previous life, how much loss could be recovered for the country!
But how did Ming Dynasty make corruption so serious.

Zhang Zongxian saw that the heat was almost ready.then said:

"Since the two of you are reporting, are you willing to put a charge on the confession."

If the two officials are like this, then dare to say that they don't want to.Say yes quickly.

After the painting was postponed, the master of the studio still wanted to die, and shouted loudly:

"The old man also wants to report the younger ones, and the younger ones want to report his colleagues. They have also done things that violate the law."

The judge next to him asked for several other homeowners, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

After Zhang Zongxian looked at the guilty judges, he reprimanded the master who was already kneeling in the underground workshop:
"What I hate the most is people like you, who eat the imperial salary and take the support of the common people, and don't do good deeds. Now you dare to bite me. Come and give me a slap."

Without waiting for the yamen servant to get his hands on it, the judge rushed up and gave the job to the master of the workshop, two big competitions.The owner of the workshop he played lost two teeth on the spot.

The master of the studio covered his mouth while pointing at the judge, what did he want to say?It's a pity that the blood in his mouth made him slur his speech.

Seeing that this guy still wanted to talk, the judge picked up the fire stick thrown by Zhang Zongxian on the ground, and slammed it into the mouth of the workshop master.

The master of the workshop who beat him spurted blood from his mouth, and passed out after a while.
