    ?

    Entering mid-August, the weather is still quite hot.  Such weather was extremely rare in Jiangyin County in the past, and such a situation was rarely encountered.  Just like this, Du Ye became more and more worried, because it had been almost half a month since he took office, but there was still not a drop of rain falling, obviously the weather was very strange.

    During this period of time, Du Ye's whole body has become darker and darker, and his cheeks have turned bronze under the sun's exposure.

    No longer accept the fair skin of the past.

    Even Du Ye has grown taller during this period of time. Although he is only eleven or twelve years old, he is already more than one hundred and sixty centimeters tall, which is not considered short.  He originally had a little bit of baby fat on him, but now, this little baby fat is gone, and he has become completely thin. Just like this, he looks more capable, and even a trace of childishness on his body has disappeared.

    During this period of time, Du Ye has been dealing with the official affairs of the county government on the one hand. Many of the official affairs of the county government are nothing more than some prisons and some disputes between neighbors.  Although it is a bit complicated, it is not difficult.  He spends most of his time patrolling the construction site to understand the situation on the construction site.

    He is extremely concerned about the reinforcement of the embankment and the cleaning of the river silt.

    In fact, it's the easiest to clean up now.

    ?Because it has been dry for several months, there has been no heavy rain in these months, even if a little sporadic rain falls occasionally, the ground is dry in a blink of an eye.  Therefore, many river channels have no water, and it is easy to clean up the silt.

    Du Ye is so busy every day, so many people have known Du Ye for a long time.

    They are not addressing County Magistrate Du.

    Instead, it is called Xiaodu County Magistrate.

    ?Because Du Ye was young, and Du Ye really took this opportunity to penetrate into the hearts of the people and gained the approval of many people.  These people who do things are all from Jiangyin County.  They worked on the construction site, and Du Ye was personally concerned about food and wages, so many people were very grateful to Du Ye and recognized Du Ye very much.

    On this day, Du Ye was still patrolling the river as usual, asking the workers to take care of their own safety, but Xu Tu came running quickly.

    On Xu Tu's face, there was obvious resentment.

    Du Ye and Xu Tu have become very close because of their relationship during this period of time.  Although Xu Tu is older than Du Ye, Xu Tu admires Du Ye very much. It is not something ordinary people can do that a child of a big family, even a family of aristocratic family, can endure such hardship.  In addition, Du Ye was thoughtful and sophisticated, and Xu Tu also admired him.

    Seeing Xu Tu's expression, Du Ye said, "Old Xu, what happened?"

    Xu Tudao: "Magistrate Du, I'm just a little bit upset."

    Du Ye said: "Why are you not angry?"

    Xu Tu said: "We are working so hard here. What is the purpose of all this? It is so that our Jiangyin County can escape the catastrophe if it rains heavily. But unexpectedly, some people made sarcastic remarks."

    "Many people in the counties of Jiangyin County said that you are crazy, and you have nothing to do to dredge the canals. They all said that there is no need to dredge the canals in the south of the Yangtze River. Even the magistrates of some surrounding counties said so.  "

    "That's all."

    "After all, these people are all outsiders."

    "But in our Jiangyin County, some businessmen and people from some wealthy families also began to sneer, saying that we only engage in these tricks for the sake of money. They said that the county magistrate Du came to Jiangyin County, just tossing around."

    Xu Tu gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Our Xu family has paid a lot for this time to clean up the river. Even originally, it was said that 80% of the market price was used as the wage, but in fact, it was far lower than 80% of the market price.  But we didn¡¯t deduct the slightest bit from workers¡¯ wages, they paid them out at the market price. Even at noon every day, we even had a meal.¡±

    "Our Xu family has paid a lot."

    "But being ridiculed by others is really irritating."

    "These people don't get involved and don't want to help, so that's fine, but such wanton accusations and wanton words are really infuriating, and it's simply too hateful."

    Xu Tu said: "I can't wait to beat all these people up."

    After Du Ye heard it, he was silent for a while.

    Immediately, Du Ye smiled and said: "Old Xu, if you are angry, you have fallen for it. You know, these people are just talking sarcastically, and they just hope that we can't do things. So we don't need to talk to these people at all.  "

    Xu Tu said: "Don't you just ignore it?"

    Du Ye said in a deep voice: "Of course not.Never mind, but write these things down.  This time, we will slowly settle the matter after our river channel construction is completed and the heavy rain falls.  "

    Although Du Ye is young, he has a lot of thoughts.

    He is not a good character.

    Du Ye's eyes were sharp, and he said: "After the heavy rain falls, these surrounding counties will naturally experience bitter fruit. Once the heavy rain falls, many fertile fields will be flooded, countless people's houses will be flooded, and countless people will be displaced. At that time,  This is our chance for revenge."

    After a pause, Du Ye said again: "Old Xu, let me tell you some news. I have purchased a large amount of grain from Jiangdu. I have exchanged all the extra money from the county government for grain, and now I am hoarding it in  In the granary. Your Xu family is rich, so you can buy some grain from the surrounding areas. When the heavy rain falls, you will naturally make a fortune."

    Xu Tu said: "Thank you County Magistrate Du."

    Du Ye said: "Actually, in Changzhou, and even in the territory of Jiangnan Road, the government has already given warnings to various places. They said that there may be disasters and asked local officials to adjust. It is a pity that the officials did not pay attention at all."

    Xu Tu said: "Not everyone is the same as Magistrate Du."

    Du Ye chuckled.

    Shaked his head.

    In the half month since he served as the county magistrate, he has encountered many things, and even encountered many ups and downs.  Just like this, the more he understands the local situation.  The imperial court issued an order, but the order was passed on, and the changes layer by layer may be different when it is implemented at the local level.

    Therefore, after implementation, the final result is different.

    This is the complexity of the place.

    As soon as Xu Tu changed the subject, he suddenly said: "Magistrate Xu, outside of Jiangyin County, we will see their jokes later. But in Jiangyin County, these people are ridiculing us one by one.  How should the big families and big businessmen deal with it? No way, they have benefited, but they should not deal with it."

    "of course not!"

    Du Ye's eyes sharpened.

    He has never been in the mood of repaying virtue with resentment. What he advocates is the same as his father Du Qi, who repays virtue with kindness and repays grievance with straightness.  But he will write down all the people who are sorry for him.

    Du Ye said in a deep voice: "When the heavy rain comes, I will issue a special notice, which is to write clearly about the contributions of the Xu family and many people who support the county magistrate. As for these cynical and sarcastic big family and big businessmen, I will make a special announcement."  As soon as the criticism is exposed. After the government notifies them, it will naturally have a great impact on them. I want the entire Jiangyin County to despise them."

    Xu Tu laughed and said, "Magistrate Du is wise!"

    He was originally full of depression in his heart, but now he listened to Du Qi's words, and his heart was completely at ease.  Xu Tu even waited and waited for the next development.

    Du Ye asked: "Old Xu, this construction has been almost half a month. Especially in this half month, countless money has been spent and countless people have been mobilized to participate. Today, how long will it take to complete the project? If  If it drags on for another half a month, I'm afraid I'm afraid the weather won't be able to hold it anymore. Because the weather in the past few days, although good, has changed somewhat, and it's not as hot as before."

    Xu Tu said: "Magistrate Du, there are still three days at most. In three days, everything will be completed. At that time, we only need to deal with the junction of Jiangyin County and other counties to ensure that once the rivers at these junctions rise  The water will not affect us. This matter will be much easier."

    Du Ye nodded and said: "Be sure to hurry up, time is running out."

    Xu Tu said: "I understand."

    The two continued to patrol, and at the same time talked about many things on the ditch digging.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
