Seeing the river embankment like this, Mei Xiaoren was really worried.

The Hui River is through, and the amount of water here is bound to double, and the time should be these two days.

She looked back at the many houses in Takixian County, where thousands of people's lives could not be missed, and then ordered: "Send someone to inform the county government of Takixian County, and ask them to immediately move the people in the city to the nearby high ground." ”

The official was taken aback when he heard this: "My lord is worried that there will be a flood after the Hui River is connected, but this move of the people from a county is too big, I hope you will think twice."

Some officials began to advise again: "My lord, the embankment here is very strong, and there has never been any flood before, but it is only a small gap, and it is not a problem. ”

"Not being in trouble and being prepared are two different things," she said. ”

"Your Excellency's words are reasonable, but we have no right to let the county government do things, let alone evacuate the people of a city."

Another official answered: "Yes, my lord, just in case, the county will be emptied, and the loss of the city will be immeasurable for a few days."

Another official said: "Your Excellency is also a person who has served as a county magistrate, and you should know that the county government has always only recognized the orders of the Lord of Futai, how can you listen to the words of the Lord of the Lordship, I will wait to pass the order, if the Lord of the Mansion is to blame, how can we afford it." ”

No matter what Mei Xiaoren said, none of these people agreed with her decision, and Jiang Rong was also suspicious: "Villain, are you sure that the water will flood that city"

Mei Xiaoren looked at him with a solemn expression, "I'm not sure, but the people of a city, thousands of lives, can't be missed." ”

She really didn't know the bottom in her heart, she was just worried, and she knew that if she was too worried, then this precautionary move would become a big mistake.

Such a major event should have sought Lao Li's consent, but now it is too late to invite it, it will take time for the documents to be sent back to Xuanzhou, and it will also take time for Lao Li to think about it, not to mention that Gao Jingshu is still by Lao Li's side, and he will never approve of her doing this.

Because if Gao Jingshu agreed, it would be equivalent to admitting that he was playing with the lives of the people by digging a ditch.

Mei Xiaoren walked a few steps to the river, overlooking the river.

Now that the water is gentle, and the water surface is still dozens of feet away from the top of the embankment, there is really no risk to see, but the risk is something that cannot be said.

It is precisely because she served as a county magistrate that she knows that the lives of the people of a county cannot be bad.

Some people are still trying to persuade them: "My lord, I think this levee will not be lost." ”

Mei Xiaoren swept it away, and all the officials looked the same, and they looked unwilling to obey orders.

"My lord, this matter has a lot to stake, adults must think twice, in case adults are too worried, who can afford the loss of Takixian County"

"If the official doesn't think too much, then who of you can afford the consequences of flooding Taki" Mei Xiaoren was silent for a moment and slowed down his speech, "Do as the official tells you, if the Lord Futai wants to blame, the official will bear it." ”

As soon as Mei Xiaoren's words came out, the officials were silent.

They knew the temperament of Lord Futai, but they didn't expect the temperament of Lord Tongju to be so stubborn, they didn't dare to speak, and they didn't dare to do it, because it was really arrogant for Lord Tongju to do so.

Under the cloak, Mei Xiaoren's hands clenched more and more. She is used to being the head of the land, being the master of one side, and she has not experienced situations such as not being able to give orders and opposing her subordinates, so she can't help it

Nest fire.

When the surroundings were quiet, the people around her suddenly asked, "Villain, have you thought about it?"

"You look at me like I'm talking and playing," Mei Xiaoren was inexplicable.

Of course, Jiang Yi could see that she was angry, more angry than ever. Although the villain's decision to let the people of a county evacuate was arbitrary, she was willing to take such a big risk not because she cared about the safety of the people, she cared about the people of Li, how could he sit idly by.

Jiang Rong tore off the object hanging from his waist and said: "This son is the nephew of the Duke of Wei, and even your prefect will follow the orders of this son, and now this son asks you to do what Mei Tong said, his words are my words, no matter what the consequences are, they will all be borne by this son alone." ”

Mei Xiaoren was stunned when he heard this, and slowly looked back at Jiang Rong, and saw that he was holding a jade pendant in his hand. The texture of the jade pendant can be described as the top grade, not ordinary people can have, the jade pendant is surrounded by exquisite patterns, and the center is carved with a seal, with the words "Wei State Mansion" on it.

She had seen this jade pendant, but she hadn't noticed the words on it.

"You" Mei Xiaoren looked at Jiang Ei in disbelief.

"The nephew is just not a son, what is there to be surprised." Jiang Yi replied lightly, "But it's enough to make them obedient." ”

Several officials had already knelt down, and they had long felt that this person who was with Mei Tongju was not ordinary, and he didn't look like an entourage, and the adults were obedient to him, so they guessed that he should have some background, but they never thought that it was such a big background

The people in the Wei Mansion are relatives of the emperor, although they have no real power, but no matter which state capital, the people of the mansion will give three points of thin face when they see it, and they can't afford to be offended.

The mistakes that the adults can't afford will be involved in some of them, but the Wei Mansion is different

Three days later, the city of Takishi was empty, and the people in the city and nearby villages had moved to the nearby mountains for a while.

Several squires on the outskirts of the city were reluctant to move their nests, and Mei Xiaoren had to use the government guards to forcibly drive them away.

The person was driven away, but she knew that the news would inevitably reach Gao Jingshu's ears.

Mei Xiaoren would go to the embankment every day to check the water level, and Jiang Rong accompanied her, but the river in their eyes was still so calm.

The flood peak has arrived, and the water level has risen a lot, but the water is gentle, and the river surface is flooded with small waves, and there are no turbulent waves.

After a few days, even Jiang Rong couldn't help but point to the river and ask: "Villain, are you too worried?"

"I hope that I am too worried, and that it is better to have no disaster than to have a disaster." Mei Xiaoren sat on the embankment, turned his eyes to look at Jiang Rong, and smiled easily, "You are sick, you regret listening to my words."

"If I regret it, I will have to complain about you like those officials now, but not behind your back, but to your face." Jiang Rong also sat down, looking at Jiang and sighing, "You don't plan to take me back yet"

"Go back"

"You evacuated the people of a county, but nothing happened, so much effort was in vain, don't you need to explain to the prefect on your behalf?"

"It's time to go back and talk about it, but I don't need you to explain, the prefect will give me a lecture at most." Mei Xiaoren smiled, stood up and patted the dust on his body, and moved away.

"How could it be so simple to scold you," Jiang Rong said in a deep voice behind her.
