Chapter 660: Building Dams Costs A Lot Of Money!
Time passed quickly, and it was dinner time in a blink of an eye.
Su Ran asked his attendants to prepare sumptuous meals and entertained all the soldiers.
After drinking and eating, Su Ran took the two county magistrates to the county government office.
"Ti..."
"Pa!" Before the two county magistrates finished speaking, they were slapped by Su Ran.
Su Ran angrily yelled: "How many times have I told you that in private, just call me your lord!"
Zhang Xian Cheng covered his red and swollen cheeks and said aggrievedly:
"What the School of Humanity teaches is that it's a mistake to be humble, so don't be angry!"
"Humph! Just know you were wrong!"
Su Ran said with a straight face: "You two have worked hard for me these days. If you make another mistake, 280 you are the only one to ask!"
"I understand the humble position!"
"Well, let's all get busy!"
"Yes!" The two of them bowed in response.
It wasn't until the two left that Su Ran slowly closed his eyes. This time, he spent a lot of energy building water conservancy projects.
In the past few days, he has been thinking about ways to build a dam.
I thought of a more clumsy way - building a wall with stones.
However, this method is difficult to implement and consumes a lot of money.
After all, building a dam requires a lot of sandbags, wooden piles, and stones.
"Dg080%......"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Su Ran opened her eyes, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
"Replying to your lord, this is a humble position, Zhao Hai."
A rather powerful man's voice came from outside the door.
"Wait a moment, I will change my clothes."
"Yes!" After a while, Su Ran walked out of the house, opened the courtyard door, and asked a strong man in front of the door:
"What do you find me for?"
This man is the guard of Nanling City, and his commander is called Zhao Hai.
Zhao Haidao: "Master Qi, we have something to see you!"
"Oh?" Su Ran raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who are you, sir?"
Zhao Hai explained: "Our surname is Qin!"
"Qin? Which Qin?" Su Ran asked in surprise.
Zhao Hai replied: "Qin Hong, the governor of Nanling County!"
"It turns out it's him!" Su Ran suddenly realized, cursed secretly, and said, "I'll go see him right away!"
Soon, under the leadership of Zhao Hai, he came to a (bjbc) house and met Qin Hong!
This Qin Hong is about forty years old, fat and short, with a beard and wearing a purple robe.
Su Ran bowed her hands and said, "Su Ran, please see Mr. Qin!"
"No need!" Qin Hong waved his hand, looked at him with a smile and said:
"Master Su is indeed a popular person in front of the Emperor. It is really not easy for me to meet you!"
"Ahem..." Su Ran said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, that's too much. I just did what I should do!"
Qin Hong laughed and said, "Master Su, you are so humble!"
"Let's get straight to the point!"
Qin Hong said seriously: "I invited Lord Su here today because I want to ask Lord Su to borrow some money!"
Su Ran said in shock: "Borrow money?"
Qin Hong sighed and said helplessly:
"Alas... isn't it because there is a shortage of money everywhere recently?"
"So, we soldiers want to raise some money,"
"Repair the dam outside Nanling City to ensure that the people of Nanling will not suffer from the war."
"It's just that the money is really limited. I only have three thousand taels of silver in my hand..."
"Uh..." Su Ran was speechless.
Although three thousand taels of silver is not considered a huge amount of money in ordinary times.
But things are different now. These are extraordinary times.
This money can be described as a timely help!
Su Ran asked: "How does Mr. Qin want to cooperate?"
"Simple!" Qin Hong said: "I am responsible for raising the money, and you are responsible for building the canals and moats. How about we split the money 50-50?"
Su Ran thought for a while and said: "No problem!"
Qin Hong smiled and said: "Okay, that's it!"
