Chapter 716: Governing the River
It's been this hour, how could someone come to the Yamen, Old Man Song was surprised.
"Quick! Go and call people in. ”
After a while, Tian Dakui led a man wearing official clothes into the upper room of the Song family.
The man arched his hand, "I have seen the county lord, and the county order instructed the villain to inform the lord to return to the yamen to discuss matters." ”
"This point!" Old Man Song looked at the sky that had already darkened outside.
"Did the prefectural magistrate say that it was because of something?"
"It seems that there is an official letter from Fucheng, and the specific villain is not very clear." The man replied.
"That's fine." Old Man Song stood up.
"You go to the hall first and wait, I'll change my clothes and go back to the county with you."
As soon as the man came out of the room, Song Chengli walked in.
"Dad, someone from the yamen is here, is there something wrong, do you want me to go with you?"
Old Man Song waved his hand, "I'll go back with Da Kui!" ”
"You brothers are at home, watching the situation in our field."
"If there is something happening here in Songjia Village, send someone to inform me at any time."
In the prefectural government.
Lu Xianling sat in front of the bookcase with a frown, and saw Old Man Song come in.
handed an official letter from the city to Old Man Song.
"Look at this." Old Man Song was surprised, what happened here?
When I unfolded it, I realized that "the south has a ...... of water"
Then there was a sigh, and it rained even on their side, and it must have been even worse in the south.
It's not strange that the water is sent to the people, but it just suffers the people, I don't know how many Li people are displaced, and it's no wonder that Lu County Ling has this look.
At this time, as long as there is an official who still has a little conscience, he will not be happy.
"Lord Prefectural Order." Old Man Song arched his hand and said, "Our Yulin County is located in the branch of the river, and if it rains heavily, it will endanger the fields of the surrounding villages. ”
"Let's take precautions early."
"That's what I mean, too." Lu Xianling perked up and lifted his spirits.
"That's why I brought you here overnight."
Then Lu County Ling took out the county's log, turned to one of the pages, and pointed it out to Old Man Song.
"The last time our county repaired the river was seven years ago, and in the past few years when I was the county commander, I have also made up for the gap."
"But ......"
"If you want to prevent large-scale flooding, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult, so the river has to be repaired."
"Then ...... now" As soon as Old Man Song answered, the door of the room was pushed open.
Another official walked in with Master Chen's book.
Master Chen arched his hand, "I've seen the county magistrate, and I've seen the county lord." ”
The two of them bowed their heads at the same time, and Lu Xian ordered, "I called you, and I also called Master Chen." ”
"In our county, there are mainly three rivers that need to be renovated, I mean, the three of us are responsible for one and start construction at the same time."
"Strive to finish the river as quickly as possible, to put it mildly, so that even if the flood reaches this side, we will have time to turnover."
"What your lord says is very true!" Old man Song, Master Chen handed over at the same time.
The two of them came to the table of Lu County's order and listened to Lu County's order to assign tasks.
And what Old Man Song assigned happened to be the river near Xiaoyu Village.
Early the next morning, the officials beat gongs and drums and went up to the streets, announcing the recruitment of workers by the yamen and the construction of the river.
Lu County's order divided the county government into three groups, and the good hands who would govern the river were divided into three groups, and he, the old man Song, and the master Chen each brought one group.
Then he called Master Qian and took out three thousand taels of spare silver in the county.
"Three of us, each with a thousand taels, to control the river."
Lu Xianling's expression became serious, and he said solemnly, "I hope that the two of you will spend every penny on river governance." ”
"At this time, if someone dares to stretch out his hand and delay the renovation of the river, then don't blame the official for being ruthless!"
"Obey the teachings of adults, and you will live up to your expectations!" Old man Song, Master Chen said at the same time.
Lu Xianling nodded, divided the silver to the two, and urged, "Hurry up and recruit workers, and go and discuss how to repair it with Hegong." ”
…………
The renovation work of the river was soon launched, and the Song family also got the news that the old man Song was going to stay in the county to repair the river and could not return home for the time being.
The Song family went to the room.
The Zhou family called the two brothers Song Chengyi and Song Chengli to come in and instructed, "Tomorrow you two brothers will go to the county to have a look." ”
"Look at your father, if there is anything you need help, you help Zhang Luo Zhang Luo, your father is old, running around in the rain all day long, don't exhaust your body."
"Mother! Tomorrow we will pass. Song Chengli said.
Song Chengyi immediately answered, "Mother! Don't worry, when I go, let my father rest, and the matter of repairing the river will be on me. ”
Song Chengyi patted his chest and promised, "I will definitely repair the river channel for you so that it can't leak out at all." ”
"The section that my father is responsible for is in Xiaoyu Village, my father-in-law's house, I used to live there, and I didn't have to run back and forth."
Zhou thought for a while, nodded and said, "Live in the Li family, but don't trouble your father-in-law and mother-in-law, save some snacks." ”
Song Chengyi pouted, "Mother! I'm an adult, and you still have to tell me about this little thing. ”
"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll get things done for you!"
Zhou nodded and told again, "Go, go and take care of your father." ”
"! I'll go with you, too! Song Qingmo's head poked in, curious.
Zhou glanced at it, "Stay cool, what kind of mess are you going to make with your little girl." ”
"Can you carry, or can you carry, or can you command the river workers to work, and stay at home honestly!"
Song Qingmo stuck out her tongue, "I can manage a store well, how can I make trouble for my father?" ”
"I can't say it, I can still come up with ideas to make the river better."
Zhou glanced sideways, too lazy to take care of it.
To say that Yuan'er can come up with ideas, she still believes that this Mo'er ......
Children's hearts are curious about everything, and they love to move forward with everything.
Seeing that Zhou didn't speak, Song Qingmo felt tasteless, stopped arguing, turned around and ran over to the east courtyard.
"Yuan'er, the second uncle and my father are going to Grandma Li's house to repair the river with grandpa, do you want to go over and have a look?"
Song Qingmo's eyes were full of impatience.
Song Qingyuan looked funny and shook his head, "I don't want to!" ”
"Why not?"
"What if the river comes and washes us away!" Song Qingyuan said teasingly.
Song Qingmo Nunu mouthed, "But have you ever thought about it, what if the river comes and washes away your grandmother's family?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Song Qingyuan was stunned.
slapped her head hard, she really forgot about this stubble.
The small fishing village is next to the river, and if there is a flood, the small fishing village will be the first to suffer.
When the time comes, it is a trivial matter for the land and the house to be flooded, if it washes people away......
"You really reminded me, I'll find someone to send a letter to the small fishing village, and let my grandmother and them come over and stay for a while."
After speaking, Song Qingyuan ignored Song Qingmo's expression and ran out directly.
