Chapter 146

The county magistrate and the local magistrate were in charge of this matter. At that time, he asked and said that it was extremely strong. It was not a dangerous dam. Generally, the newly built dam would not be a problem for ten years. Even if you were a little short, seven or eight years would be OK?

As a result, it collapsed before five years. It's still past the flood season. If not

County Magistrate Fu could not help shivering as long as he thought about the consequences.

The imperial court will not care who built the dam. As long as something happens during his term of office, it is his responsibility.

So he has to repair this dam, and he has to repair it!

But where did the money come from?

Mr. Zhuang rarely sat down with master Bai for dinner and drink. They were also talking about the dam. "Today, the chief has asked me and said that the county government may issue a service order."

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "it's late autumn now, and it's going to be cold in another month. It's best to build the dam at this time, otherwise the weather will be cold, and the serviceman is afraid he can't stand it."

After all, building dams is different from building roads and digging water conservancy. People may still stand in the water. If the weather is too cold, people can't get down at all. If they get sick, it may be a life.

Mr. Zhuang didn't worry about anything else, but worried about the money. "I don't know where the county magistrate wants to allocate this part of the money."

Master Bai didn't speak. Who knows?

This county magistrate is not as honest as the last one, but the last one

Master Bai frowned. How could the dam in Dingjiang village collapse in only five years?

At this time, Zhou Dalang was talking to his family about the construction of the dam in Dingjiang village, "... At the beginning, he sent a lot of stones and wood, as well as a kind of mud, which is said to be waterproof. When the dam is built, it can be waterproof. But then someone said that the mud was useless. He had never heard that the mud could be waterproof, so he took away the mud. "

Man Bao listened with interest and moved the wooden pier forward. He sat next to her father with a small face. When he saw that his eldest brother had finished, he hurriedly asked, "eldest brother, is there any difference between building a dam and building water conservancy?"

"Of course, there are. No matter how much water in the river is blocked, it is also blocked. Therefore, the laoding built in the hole is standing in the water. Each person can't stand for a long time, otherwise the meat on this leg will be red, just like an insect bite."

When Zhou Dalang said this, he looked at Zhou Silang and said, "so when you go to service, you must not offend the Yamen in charge. Otherwise, he will make you stand in the water all day. You can't turn around. I'm afraid you can't use your legs until you finish the service."

On Thursday, Lang looked down at his leg and shivered.

He didn't want to go. Baba looked at his father, "Dad, I, I haven't become a man yet. It's only 18 in a month."

Old Zhou tou touched out the cut tobacco. He finally had cut tobacco. He took a silent SIP and said, "it's not small. I'll find the chief in two days and report it to you. I'll divide the land at that time."

Although he shouldn't, Zhou Dalang couldn't help but be happy. He didn't want to go to labor, especially for building dams.

He patted Shiro on the shoulder with a heavy sigh of relief.

Xiao Qian was also very happy. When making dinner, he applied with his mother-in-law and cooked two eggs for Lang on Thursday.

Zhou Siro who received special treatment for the first time:

Man Bao couldn't empathize with her fourth brother, so she was not affected at all. Instead, she happily ate all the rice in her bowl, and then went to count money and money.

When the money was divided, she wrote to Miss Fu Er with the light of the sun still not setting. She told Miss Fu Er that her fourth brother might go to serve. She was very interested in the materials for building the river dam and asked her if there was really waterproof mud in the world.

Is there any waterproof mud in the world?

Of course there is.

In addition to stones, wood and clay, this waterproof mud is also the main procurement material of the county government, so he calculated the money with the master book and finally decided to release the river donation.

Of course, the tax can't be released if he wants to. Magistrate Fu has to apply upward, but before applying, he applied for the cost of building a river dam.

Sure enough, he was called back, and then he handed in the official document for applying for river donation. This time, it came down soon, but the number of river donation was reduced by half.

However, this was also expected by county magistrate Fu. He didn't bother about it any more. At this time, it has been six days from the breach of the river dam. It's going to be cold if he doesn't start building the river dam again.

When the chief took people door-to-door to collect river donations, the service order came down, and Zhou Silang went to pack his bags with a bitter face.

Although his family decided to let him serve, he insisted on selling ginger in the county every day, because he had nothing to do at home. When he went to the county, at least he could eat a meat steamed stuffed bun and a vegetarian steamed stuffed bun at noon every day, didn't he?

However, in order to support him and make him stronger, the food given to him at home has become much better. Now man Bao and he are the best food at home.

No, he eats better than man Bao.

Because man Bao eats less, he eats more.

He has two eggs every morning. He eats meat buns at noon and meat or eggs when he comes back at night. Unfortunately, the time is too short. He will go to service before he can get fat.

River donation says it's called donation, but it doesn't all depend on your idea. If you want to donate, you can donate if you don't want to. Except for some poor households who are surrounded by the county magistrate, all other families must pay a certain donation.

This time only money, not grain.

Because the grain was collected, the county magistrate had to bother to change the grain into money to buy materials. Fortunately, the apportioned donation was cut in half, which was not very heavy, and each family could afford it.

And rich people like master Bai will donate more.

Master Bai donated ten liang of silver at once, which made Li Chang smile and narrow his eyes. When he walked all the way to the village to collect the money, his face looked very good.

Man Bao is just resting at home, curiously picking at the door to see the inside.

Old Zhou tou paid the money and called Zhou Silang to his side for the chief to see, "chief, this is my four boys. He will become a Ding next month."

The chief narrowed his eyes to see Zhou sirang. Although he was thin, he was in good spirit and strong. He nodded with satisfaction and asked, "is he going to serve this time?"

"Yes, it's his turn. When he comes back from the river dam, his family should prepare a house for him and start a family."

It's natural to have Ding Tian to start a family. The chief laughed and patted thurlang on the shoulder. Today, he was in a good mood, so he relaxed and said: "this year, there are only two children in the village. It's easy to divide the fields. At that time, it's about the same. Let them draw lots."

Old Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, stuffed the twenty Wen money he had been pinching in his sleeve into him, and then patted Shiro on the back, "thank you for being long?"

Zhou sirang quickly bent down to thank him.

The chief took the money and said with a smile, "it's my duty. You're welcome."

In addition to the money, old Zhou tou also prepared a packet of ginger for the chief. He said, "it's not worth anything to grow in the garden at home. Take it back to make tea."

Manbao's eyes are full of curiosity.
