Chapter 205: Suddenly Looking Back
Although the weather in Heishui County is sunny today, the sun is not big, and the temperature has become a little hot and humid because of the rain last night.
Wang Lanling quickly went to the county government to inform everyone and let everyone get ready.
Fortunately, when I went to Yunshui County before, I was mentally prepared not to come back before the big flood, so at this time, although various things happened frequently, and many things were not so smooth, they continued after all.
"It's getting late, it's not certain whether it will rain tonight, I also need to know the things in the county in time, now I'll go to the headquarters to sit down, you can continue the affairs here, if there is anything to go to the headquarters to find me."
"Everyone stayed up a little bit tonight and took turns to rest according to the plan I had made before."
"Jin Da, go to the house and bring two sheep over, and boil a pot of mutton soup for everyone to warm up."
Wang Lanling's men were short of manpower, so at this time, he called some people from various houses and alleys in the city and asked them to stand by the river in the north of the city.
As soon as the water goes down, or if the rain in the sky reaches a certain level, then these people will quickly return to their respective districts to guide them.
This era is far from being as strong as the organization of later generations, but in this kind of defense against external disasters, as long as it is an environment with a basic moral conscience and a backbone, then like a flock, all people will act according to the basic rules.
At this time, there will also be many problems, and there will be people who want to find a way out on their own, and how to solve this kind of problem depends on the prestige and management ability of the leader.
Wang Lanling looked at the already dark sky and walked towards the outside of the city.
He looked at the people who were moving and running around quickly, and these people did not greet Wang Lanling, but quickly went to do what they were doing.
It seems that these fast-moving people are chaotic and not conducive to traffic safety, but there are basically no collisions.
The probability of two martial arts masters running quickly and hitting each other is equivalent to the chance of being hit by a swallow flying close to the ground in the streets and alleys, which is very small.
"Lord Wang!"
Wang Lanling heard someone shouting to him, and after looking over, he saw a civilian old lady in the city standing in front with the support of his two sons.
Wang Lanling got out of the car and said, "Old man, what's the matter with me?" ”
The old lady trembled and said, "Lord Wang, will there really be a flood today?" ”
Wang Lanling took a deep breath and said: "Even if you don't send it today, it will be sent in a few days, now everything is about saving your life, this is not a joke, people have a future, please take care of your family with your family." ”
The old people have seen the Great Flood.
This is especially true in Heishui County, in the short history, I don't know how many floods have occurred, some of which are large and some are small.
The big ones can't run, and the small ones don't need to run.
If Wang Lanling didn't mention the matter of flood control and refuge, everyone would continue to live as before, even if someone was worried about this year's flood, they would soon be diverted by the pressure of life.
This kind of thing is not something that can be changed by one person and one family.
So I wasn't nervous before, because of the numbness of ignorance.
Now the old lady is very afraid, very afraid.
"Lord Wang, are we going to take refuge on Hulu Mountain?"
Wang Lanling quickly said: "There is no need for the time being, try to live in a high place, and at the same time, don't take off your clothes to sleep today, arrange a few people at home to keep vigil, and pay attention to the situation outside!" ”
"I still have something, I will let people inform you if there is the latest news, don't close anyone's door today!"
Wang Lanling said a word and said goodbye to these people.
Today, the big and small people in the city are as busy as ants on a hot pot.
At the gate of the city, Governor Guo Juli saw Wang Lanling approaching, and quickly walked over and said, "What's going on?" Why don't you discuss anything with me, why do you talk to the people in the county about evacuation now, and now the people in the county are panicking, what if there is chaos? ”
Wang Lanling said: "I'm not sure now, but the people in the county town are planning to let me carry the black pot, it is estimated that the flood will be discharged in the next two days, now do what we can do first, time is pressing, there are some things that are too late to discuss, please forgive me!" ”
Guo Juli was very angry, and said anxiously: "You are really nonsense, even if the county wants to do these things, how can you let the county people know in advance?" Aren't you afraid that they will turn back?! ”
Wang Lanling frowned and did not speak.
Guo Juli reprimanded: "You are simply confused, the county has already prepared disaster relief funds, and when the flood comes, it will be better to manage these people after this natural disaster, and then the disaster relief will be carried out with the righteousness of the imperial court, and those who have died and have no fields also know how to be grateful and know to work, you say this now, how can those people be willing to wait for death?" ”
In previous years, the rules were like this, after the flood came, the profits brought were far from being understood by Wang Lanling, a modern person.
Displaced peasants will become tenant farmers in their fields, servants in large households, and those that have not been harvested this year will be transferred to the names of those who have done so.
Land, population, political achievements, money......
Floods are something that cannot be avoided, so from the very beginning, no one expected Wang Lanling to cure the water.
It was only at this time that Wang Lanling understood the series of interests surrounding the Heishui River under the advice of Master Guo.
Even if Wang Lanling protected these people, these people whose land was affected by the disaster would become slaves of other people's families, or sell their sons and daughters, after all, the relief of the imperial court has always been only to distribute food.
Now these people know that the county has flooded them, and they are basically full of hostility towards the people in the county, and the reason why they have not rebelled is that they don't know what to do, and second, the court and Wang Lanling are still there.
Taking a deep breath and calming down his complicated emotions, Wang Lanling quickly understood that he had to deal with some things as soon as possible.
"Lord Guo, if the water control is unfavorable this time, I will resign from the post of director of the Department of Water Affairs."
Guo Juli was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Wang Lanling suddenly said this.
"This is easy to say...... Guo Juli felt that Wang Lanling would definitely not continue to hold this position, most likely to go to the county to be an official, or maybe to the state.
Wang Lanling continued: "The camp still needs me to sit in the town, I'll go and get busy first, if Lord Guo is fine, can you go to the county to ask when the flood will be discharged, and you can wait for me to give an answer." ”
After Guo Juli heard it, he shirked and said, "This ...... This matter, the big people above have arranged it, and a decision made by others is well thought out, and the plan is good, let's wait with peace of mind, just say what we do. ”
Wang Lanling nodded, turned around and left, not bothering to say a polite word.
Guo Juli looked at Wang Lanling's back in astonishment, and after being stunned, there was a thick anger, this kid doesn't know how to respect people!
He is now the governor, the number one in the city, even if the county commander meets him, he has to politely shout the governor, and this Wang Lanling is obviously a stinky boy, but he dares to put up a fight in front of him!
Guo Ju was uncomfortable, looking at Wang Lanling's back, I wish this kid was unlucky this time!
