On the 28th day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, it rained heavily.

It has been raining since last night, and the water level, which had been a little down, has started to rise again.

The heavy rain fell for more than an hour yesterday, and it began to rain heavily again tonight, and when I got up in the morning to look, the Heishui River, which had been falling because of the water cut, also appeared more than one meter high.

The stagnant water on both sides of the river is converging here, and on the east side of the Blackwater River, large fields of wheat have been blown to one side by the storm.

Wang Lanling inspected the water affairs on the river embankment, and when he saw it, he said: "This rain will not stop for a while, and the owner of the field in the east seems to not want this wheat anymore." ”

Wei Biao said: "Don't do it now, when the weather clears, it is estimated that you will come over." ”

Wang Lanling sighed, "I asked them to take these in a long time ago, and I don't know if those people who are usually busy here will really feel comfortable when they go home." Lao Tao said: "My lord, I inquired yesterday, Liu Fufeng has returned to the Liu family, and he has no face to see you now!" ”

After the incident of the Wang family, more and more people left Wang Lanling's surroundings, but Wang Lanling was not unavailable, and there were still tens of thousands of people helping him.

As long as the conscription is not officially lifted, with Wang Lanling's prestige, many people are still willing to stay.

There are also many people who are willing to gamble, and Yin Wuwu is not the only one who bets on Wang Lanling.

The scene of Wang Lanling scolding the governor and scolding the governor away can be said to have strengthened the confidence of many people and played a very positive role in the current situation.

Hearing about Liu Fufeng, Wang Lanling had nothing to say about this former right-hand man.

"It's not that he doesn't have the face to see me, it's that he doesn't have the face to see me now, if I lose power, maybe he will have the courage to come and visit me."

Wang Lanling looked at Dahe, "Don't talk about this, let's go over the past, how did you handle the matter of returning overseas Chinese, Liu Fufeng?" If you don't understand something, just let me know. ”

Hu Guiqiao said: "There is no problem for the time being, there are too many things that have been put on hold now, there is not much that can be done, and there are few problems." ”

Several people were walking by the river and watching, and while talking, Wang Lanling saw a familiar figure pushing a cart full of dirt bags.

Although the other party brought a hat to block the rain, Wang Lanling walked over after looking at it for a while.

"Tian Yuanfang, when did you come?" Tian Yuanfang saw Wang Lanling arrive in front of him, and said excitedly: "My lord! I've been here for four or five days! ”

Tong Yue quickly said: "My lord, the last time I sent water, I went to Tian Yuanfang to appease the dispute between Tianzhai Town and Yangjiabao, thanks to Tian Yuanfang and Zhou He, the young people on both sides, now these two places have now reconciled, and they have also left dozens of young people here to help." ”

Tian Yuanfang hurriedly said: "My lord, those people from the big dung division have also come to help, everyone has received your favor before, although they have broken up, but when they heard that the adults need help here, everyone rushed here without saying a word!" ”

There are too many people under him, and they are in several places, Wang Lanling can't do everything. Wang Lanling nodded, "Wait a few more days, the document I wrote to the Holy Lord today should also arrive, and at the latest in a week, there will be a result." ”

"Yes!" Tian Yuanfang quickly agreed, it was impossible for him to return to Lord Wang in normal times, but after this snow, he would be able to do it!

Not only Tian Yuanfang, but also the people around Wang Lanling breathed a sigh of relief and regained some confidence.

As the rain became heavier and heavier, Wang Lanling and the laborers by the river returned to their tents to take shelter from the rain, and only occasionally a few people would go to the platform to see the condition of the embankment, and once there was a danger of collapse, they would immediately organize personnel to take refuge and repair it.

Whether it is rescue or retreat, it is all in Wang Lanling's thoughts.

From morning to evening, a large amount of rain collects, bringing the water level very close to the height of the embankment.

At this time, even if the embankment does not collapse, it cannot stop the rain from spreading.

Wang Lanling saw that the matter could not be violated, so he gave the order to retreat, except for a few people to monitor the water level, everyone retreated to the side of Hulu Mountain.

Soon, the news of flooding in several places reached Wang Lanling's side.

"Organize personnel to start rescue and disaster relief, inspect the surrounding towns and villages, we are currently understaffed, lack of food and clothing, and the victims must be treated with sincerity when contacting, at present, we are mainly assisted, the victims of the disaster are mainly self-helped, send people to tell those people in various places, what should be done when the flood comes, don't not speak, and don't be afraid to speak!"

"Yes!"

The people took the command.

As the cadres were about to leave, a craftsman walked in.

Tie Jinqi quickly said: "My lord, when I went to the Teaching Department to print your propaganda notice, I met Gong Yueman, he heard about your side of the matter, persuaded those teachers and doctors who had left, and personally asked for a meeting outside the door, hoping to do something at this time. ”

"Please!" Wang Lanling quickly stood up and walked out directly.

Gong Yueman, the director of the Teaching Department, is a low-key official in Heishui County officialdom, but his cultural level and talent are remarkable.

He basically doesn't get involved in anything, and he will also participate in some of the worldly feelings of Heishui County officialdom, and he won't shirk what others ask him to do, but he doesn't make friends with others, and he is a rather withdrawn and low-key person.

Soon everyone saw this literati in his thirties, this person is not handsome, some ordinary people have inherited the characteristics of Shanzhou people's physiognomy, the local atmosphere is more serious, but the eyes are very bright, standing there does not care too much about Wang Lanling like the rest of the people, it is easy for people to forget his appearance.

"Director Gongyue, thank you!" Wang Lanling hugged his fists with emotion and thanked Gong Yueman, some things are really difficult to explain.

Gong Yueman's surname is a rare surname, like the surname made up by his ancestors, but isn't the surname itself a blind one?

Looking at Wang Lanling's expression, Gong Yueman also returned the salute seriously and said: "It's all within my bounds, I didn't expect that Director Wang would really block the river embankment and disobey the arrangement of the county town. ”

It is indeed a tiger scheme, which silently pitted the upstream and downstream, and violated the flood control.

This requires not only execution, but also responsibility and courage!

Wang Lanling really had a hard time, he didn't think about being so rigid with the above at first, but the people in the county were not things, and there were tens of thousands of people behind him looking at him at that time, and he felt the heaviness of the responsibility on his shoulders when he stood in that position.

Gong Yueman quickly said: "What is there to do now, although I don't know martial arts and don't have much strength, but I can still do preaching and solving doubts." ”

Wang Lanling thought for a while and said: "At present, the river embankment can no longer hold back the big water, and sooner or later the river water will be irrigated to the fertile fields in the east, and the vegetables in the fields will also be lost." ”

"Although I have some moldy grain at the moment, and I have also prepared some dried vegetables for emergencies, but the grain and vegetables are still poor, and the morale is unstable at the moment, and the major families have withdrawn aid, but fortunately, there are still some righteous people who have funded some pickles, sauce and vinegar, but after all, it can't last too long, and I plan to go to the countryside to pick up some grain."

After hearing this, Gong Yueman said: "Director Wang can continue to sit here, and leave the matter of borrowing grain to you." ”

Wang Lanling can't guarantee that he will be able to borrow food, like this in times of disaster, food is a precious thing.

Seeing that Gong Yueman took over this matter, Wang Lanling said: "Then trouble Mr." ”

Gong Yueman said: "I'll go back as soon as I go, and those people in the Teaching Department will be arranged and commanded by Director Lao Wang." ”

Wang Lanling thought that after the Department of Environmental Sanitation and the Department of Water Affairs, the third department he took over should be the Department of Craftsmen, the Department of Construction, the Department of Civil Codes, etc., but he did not expect that it would be the Department of Teaching.

But no matter what, Wang Lanling here and now is indeed a petty official who leads the three divisions.

The Department of Education is not only the purview of the Education Bureau, but also the society here, and the main target of the Department of Education is not children, but adults.

The times are different, and most of the people who are qualified and able to learn in this era are adults.

A large number of barefoot midwives and midwives are trained here to go to rural towns and small mountain villages to promote fertility knowledge, tell those people how to take proper care of babies, improve the survival rate of newborns, and solve the suffering of some villagers who are suffering from illness, and tell them what to do.

At the same time, these langzhong also undertook part of the mailing task, and would pass and write letters to people in other villages.

If the teaching department of the county town and the state town is closer to serving the aristocracy, then the teaching department of Heishui County still maintains a backward system and inheritance.

Not long after Wang Lanling became an official, Gong Yueman was indeed more suitable than Wang Lanling to go to the countryside to borrow grain and gain the support of public opinion.

With the addition of Gong Yueman, as well as the return of some doctors and female workers, the morale of the entire camp has been slightly improved.

Although it was raining, the sky was no longer as clear and bleak as it had been two days ago.

In the afternoon, a man was sent from the county.

"Under the Manzhi Guang, I came here on the order of the county guard, the Wang family criminals have been interrogated today, and these people will be sent tomorrow, the county guard is worried that Director Wang will be unfair to the verdict, please come over tomorrow to observe the hearing, in order to show justice."

Man Zhiguang looked at Wang Lanling and said the meaning of the county guard formulaically.

Wang Lanling is a courageous and responsible person, and he will definitely go to Yunshui County to protect those Wang family members this time.

If he doesn't go, then his reputation will definitely be bad, and a person who cherishes his reputation will never let such a thing happen.

Wang Lanling said with a majestic face: "Don't go!" ”

"I'm busy with official business, how can I abolish my business because of my own personal affairs? Convey to the county keeper for me, the country has national law, the national law is greater than human favors, greater than family rules, how to judge it! ”

Just kidding, Lao Tzu has passed, you miscellaneous bosses are only afraid that you will arrest me first!

Just because of those rotten people in the Wang family, you still want me to throw myself into the net?

I'm stupid to pass!

If you have the ability, go and arrest my father!
